Chapter 1726: Big deal comes to your door (third update, please subscribe)
Hope to meet Nikita.
who is he?
That's Corn Emperor.
Since he was distracted, Khrushchev has completely disappeared from the public's vision of the Western world and has various speculations about his whereabouts, but not many people care about the politicians of the past.
In the past few years, under the instruction of Li Yian, the representative office in Moscow has been insisting on giving him New Year's gifts.
Of course all gifts are handed over by the diplomatic department.
Although he was kicked out of the leader's villa, Khrushchev has always been under the high protection of the KGB.
It is "protection"!
Faced with this request, Brezhnev frowned and said:
"Now he is just an ordinary Soviet citizen, and I don't think you need to meet."
Faced with such an answer, Li Yian said:
"The friendship between me and him is forever. We haven't seen each other for many years, so I hope to meet him and chat with him, just chat with friends."
The reason why this request was made was carefully considered. After all, in another world, when Nixon became president and visited the Soviet Union as president, he also made a request to meet Khrushchev. After all, the kitchen debate between them caused a sensation in the whole world, which was considered an old acquaintance.
But his request was rejected.
Compared to Nixon, although there was no wonderful debate between Li Yian and Khrushchev, Brezhnev was still very alert.
"If possible, we can meet together."
Li Yian said:
"I haven't seen my friend for many years. I believe you understand my feelings."
Lighting a cigarette, Brezhnev looked quietly at the river surface, looking at the water birds passing by from time to time.
After thinking for a while, he said:
"I will send someone to come with you."
That is, monitoring.
"Of course,"
Li Yian smiled and said:
"I'm not very fluent in Russian, and I still need a translation."
Brezhnev just nodded at this step. He looked at Li Yian seriously and then said.
"Over the years, you are one of the few people who will send him New Year's gifts every year."
"He is my friend."
Li Yian said with a smile.
"Our position is different. Although there have been some disputes between us, it is all based on the country. Now I think that after putting aside the position of the country, our friendship will be more sincere."
Looking at the other party's sincere smile, the KGB's report on Li Yian appeared in Brezhnev's mind:
"Li Yian is a very sincere person. When dealing with friends, he is always willing to give his friends all the help he can, no matter how high his or her status is.
It is also because of this that he has many friends in all walks of life in the United States, and his friends are very happy to help him.
Although, many of these friends are unknown little people. ”
Well, this is Li Yian - a simple person.
"I will arrange it."
In the next few days, Li Yian, like all those who visited the Soviet Union, visited all over the Soviet Union. The places he visited naturally also had the Lada automobile production factory called the proud Soviet Union.
Looking at the model that had been eliminated by Volkswagen two years ago in the factory, Li Yian's mood can be said to be mixed. This is the Soviet Union. Even if they made some improvements, it is only limited to this. In essence, this car is already behind.
If nothing unexpected happens, they will tinker with the car until 90 years, just like another world, until the car is eliminated by the market, then the manufacturing plant goes bankrupt and is acquired by Western companies. This is its future.
"...This automobile manufacturer is not only the pride of the Soviet Union, but also a symbol of friendship between southern Jiangsu and southern Jiangsu..."
This is not a symbol of friendship. This factory was introduced from the SEA from the factory to the machinery, and the Soviet Union spent a lot of money.
Li Yian looked at the Minister of Automobile Industry Tarasov beside him and asked:
"Mr. Minister, I heard you still have the intention to build another automobile manufacturing plant, right?"
The reason why I asked this is because the Soviet Union tasted the benefits of automobile manufacturing - not only could it make a lot of money, but it turned people's savings into industrial products. In this process, the country's industry also developed, and industries such as steel and machinery manufacturing were promoted.
Coupled with the public's demand for cars, the Soviet Union urgently needed to expand its automobile production capacity. So there was a plan to build a new automobile manufacturing plant.
"Yes, we are currently working on this plan."
As Minister of the Automobile Industry, Tarasov said directly:
“We tend to bring their technology from Fiat, you know, they bid lower.”
This is obviously for negotiation, to increase their bargaining chips.
Even Tarasov said deliberately:
"And ideologically, they are closer to us."
This is the truth. Italy is still in power in the left and has a very good relationship with the Soviet Union.
"Italy? Their sports cars are OK, ordinary cars..."
Li Yian smiled and said:
"What the Soviet Union needs is a car suitable for the Soviet Union... Lada is the most suitable for you, and what the minister said before also proves this. What the great Soviet people need is the best product!
I believe that our SEA auto companies can provide you with the best products. At the same time, I think that in terms of payment methods, what we accept is extremely flexible, oil, natural gas, and other minerals. ”
At this time, Li Yian transformed into a salesman again. How can he not sell? This is a big business of $600 million.
Kosigin, who was beside him, immediately spoke:
"Your Excellency, we are still considering who to introduce technology. Of course, your automobile manufacturing companies are also considering it. After all, our previous cooperation was very pleasant."
"Of course, you know, Comrade Kosigin, among all countries, we are the only one who is willing to provide you with the best technology."
What Li Yian said is both facts and not facts. In fact, Western countries will only provide the Soviet Union with technology five to ten years behind, while the SEA is willing to provide technology about two years behind, and of course it is still added with brackets (some technologies).
“Yes, this is the truth,”
After Kosykin finished speaking, Li Yian offered an attractive discount:
"If the Soviet Union could introduce SEA's automobile manufacturing plant for US$1 billion, in addition to transferring a large modern automobile factory with an annual output of no less than 1 million vehicles to your country and advanced automobile technology, we can also prepare to use Canadian construction technology to build a trunk road from Moscow to Petrograd for the Soviet Union for free."
The reason for this suggestion is that Canada's climate is similar to that of the Soviet Union, while SEA's construction companies have undertaken road projects in Canada, Norway and Sweden. The research on permafrost is also very in-depth and has been recognized by the industry.
"And we will also transfer the construction technology of the permafrost road to you."
Sure enough, Kosykin was tempted. The Soviet Union really needed the technology to build a frozen soil highway. In this regard, the Soviet Union also lags behind the West, even if the Soviet Union had the largest frozen soil zone in the world. Therefore, after hearing this condition, Kosygin immediately realized that this was an opportunity to obtain Western permafrost road construction technology. And now with the development of the Soviet automobile industry and the popularization of automobiles, road problems must be solved. In this case, permafrost road technology has become a necessity.
SEA... They still have a very good foundation in infrastructure, otherwise they would not have received highway orders from Sweden, Norway, Canada and other countries.
However, despite this, Kosigin did not agree immediately, but only said that he would report to the presidium, and Li Yian's visit continued.
Two days later, after Li Yian returned to Moscow, he received a call.
"Li! I heard you are going to see me!"
The phone call was called by Khrushchev, and the voice on the phone seemed very happy.
Li Yian replied:
"Yes, my friend, I said we will meet again."
"Yes, we will definitely meet again,"
Then he said:
"So, they gave me your number, my friend, I look forward to meeting you."
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
"So too!"
In this way, the next morning, under the guidance of the Soviet Union, Li Yian and his group took a car to the outskirts of Moscow and arrived at Khrushchev's residence.
Although the house is not as good as the original leader's villa, the environment is pretty good, and it seems to be the suburban villa of a certain nobleman in the old era.
As soon as the convoy stopped outside the villa, Li Yian saw a familiar person.
"Li!"
"Nikita!"
While the two hugged each other, Khrushchev said beside him:
"My friend, it's really hard for me to imagine that he actually allows you to see me."
"I said, this is my main purpose here, to be able to meet my friends."
"Haha..."
Khrushchev laughed and said:
"Li, do you know? I have been missing the barbecue you made for so many years. I specially bought meat and got an oven. You must make it for me today."
While speaking, he even blinked deliberately, obviously because he was afraid that Li Yian would not understand the situation.
"Of course!"
Li Yian knew that Khrushchev's life after retirement had been monitored. His villa was full of eavesdropping machines, and the guards and service staff in the villa were the newcomers arranged by KGB.
Brezhnev arranged some eyeliners around Khrushchev. He said "for safety", but Khrushchev felt like a mirror in his heart and knew his true purpose.
It's for monitoring.
Therefore, it is safer in the yard than in the villa. Although there are guards, Li Yian's guards will ensure that they will be outside a certain range, so as to ensure that the two of them can talk freely.
Soon, in the yard, Li Yian transformed into a chef, and Khrushchev was the same. He was responsible for cutting meat, while Li Yian guided him. If the cut was wrong, he would also tell him not to waste ingredients, which was in return for a burst of laughter from Khrushchev.
Everything is no different from meeting old friends.
They were grilling meat there, chatting and laughing, and friends who had been reunited for a long time were eating barbecue, picking skewers, and drinking wine.
In everyone's opinion, this is just a chat with friends who have been reunited for a long time.
However, while chatting, Li Yian, who seemed to be eating meat, said to Khrushchev in a low voice.
"Nikita, if you want, I can help you and your family get out of here and get you anywhere you want."
This is the only thing he can do now, and of course it comes from the heart.
"You know, I'm willing to do that."
After taking a sip of vodka, Khrushchev said to his friend in front of him.
"I know, I know."
Then he said with a smile.
"Although I've cried again and again. I don't know why they did, but that doesn't mean I'll leave here."
Khrushchev took a bite of the meat and continued.
"I am Russian, I will stay here all the time, my friend, I am not Svetlana."
Svetlana, the daughter of Steel, took advantage of the opportunity to send her Indian-born husband's ashes back to India last year and fled to the U.S. embassy for asylum. Of course, Americans would not miss such an opportunity, they chose to accept it.
In this way, the former "princess" left the Soviet Union without hesitation.
"Okay!"
Nodded silently, Li Yian said:
"Actually, I knew from the beginning that you would definitely refuse, and I knew what you would choose."
"But you still spoke."
Khrushchev said with a smile.
"Actually, I know you will definitely say that."
"Because we are friends."
"Yes, because we are friends."
Krukwo nodded, then he turned his eyes to the distance, as if thinking of his friends in the Kremlin.
He pondered for a while, then looked at Li Yian and said.
"But, I hope you can do me a favor."
Then he looked around carefully...
