"Two million?"
Ma Haoting asked in shock.
Chu Junjie nodded slightly.
" My monthly salary, the allowance for going abroad, and the writing fee are less than 270 yuan…" Ma Haoting's expression was a little messy and confused.
"Don't think about this. The division of labor in society is different.”Chu Junjie was also embarrassed to attack Ma Haoting.
What he wanted was not to let his country lose an outstanding diplomat in the future because of him.
Ma Haoting looked at Chu Junjie for a long time and finally sighed.
"Hey, when you were young, I felt that you were not an ordinary person and was willing to play with you. I used to think that you would be very awesome in the future.”
"But now it seems that I have underestimated you.”
"Alright, Junjie. If I can't stay in the officialdom in the future, I'll follow you.”
"Are you willing to take me in when the time comes?”
Hearing Ma Haoting's half-joking words, Chu Junjie smiled.
"You have a bright future in the Foreign Education Department," he said."You should not need me.”
"But if that day really comes and you come, I will welcome you back.”
Hearing Chu Junjie's words, Ma Haoting laughed out loud. He was in a good mood.
"Junjie, I can finally see that you are definitely not someone from the pool. Perhaps there will really be a day when I go to seek refuge with you. When the time comes, it will depend on you.”
"You must be joking. You underestimate yourself too much. I can see that your future is in the bag.”Chu Junjie smiled.
He was not spouting nonsense.
Ma Haoting's future development was really extraordinary. Even mentioning that position required sensitive words.
"Haha, let's drink." Ma Haoting felt great. He poured himself and Chu Junjie a glass of champagne.
Chu Junjie picked up his glass and toasted Ma Haoting.
……
After contacting Spenko, Chu Junjie didn't waste the remaining time.
He went to the trade department of his big brother's side and got in touch with them.
Chu Junjie didn't plan to import the machine tools from his big brother's public department. He just asked for the price.
With the official price, it was even more straightforward to look at the price given by Spenko.
He contacted Big Brother's relevant department, but the reply was to go back to the hotel and wait for news from Big Brother.
Chu Junjie was not surprised at all.
The efficiency of Big Brother's official website had never been very high.
However, there was also an advantage. The other party had given an official notice, so there was a high chance that there would really be a reply.
There was still a day and a half before the meeting with Spenko. Chu Junjie didn't stay idle. He brought two bodyguards and rented a taxi to the black market in Moscow with a box of canned luncheon meat as the fare.
He wasn't here for a stroll, but for a purpose.
He was going to the black market in Moscow to check the prices and estimate the actual value of the goods he brought here.
In 1991, the livelihood of Moscow was already very scarce. In the whole world, only Chu Junjie really knew what the situation in Moscow was like now that Big Brother was about to disintegrate.
It wasn't that obvious yet. In another two months, the people of Moscow would be in dire need of food.
Although they had plenty of industrial products, their light industrial products and food were extremely scarce.
Even military officers could only get a fixed amount of food every month.
Most of them were still canned beans.
Chu Junjie sat in a Moscow taxi. He seemed to be resting with his eyes closed, but his mind was wandering.
He recalled the first time he came to Moscow before his rebirth.
Before Chu Junjie was reborn, it was also in 1991. Not long after he was admitted to the School of Foreign Studies of the People's University, around October, a few big brothers and experts from the school went to Moscow to investigate.
Chu Junjie was very interested in Moscow, so he used some connections and came with the group.
At that time, Chu Junjie and the others took off from Beijing at 5 pm. After flying for 8 hours and 40 minutes, they landed at Mosco International Airport. After getting off the plane, he drove to the domestic airport in Moscow and took the Mikoyan Design Bureau's own plane, Jacques-40, to Leningrador.
After boarding the plane and not flying for a long time, he found out that due to the skyrocketing prices, the air traffic controllers demanded a threefold increase in wages and were still negotiating. If the negotiations failed, they would go on strike in the early hours of the 21st.
Fortunately, the negotiation was successful. Chu Junjie and the others flew for an hour and a half to Leningrador.
When he was in the capital, he heard someone say that he had to be prepared to go hungry when he went to the big brother. Chu Junjie was still skeptical.
On the plane to Leningradsk, the flight attendant said that everyone should save their drinks because there was no supply on the plane to Moscow, so they needed to save some cups for use.
When Chu Junjie heard that the situation was not good, he immediately ate as much food as possible.
The few people in the same group were not as smart as Chu Junjie. In the end, they went to Leningradla for 12 hours without eating. They were so hungry that their chests were sticking to their backs. It was really tragic.
The next day, Chu Junjie and the others finished their investigation and took the train from Leningrador to Moscow.
The grandeur of Leningradsky's buildings was a stark contrast to the decline of the people.
In contrast to Leh's clean streets, magnificent theaters, and magnificent Winter Palace, the shops were almost empty.
There was no milk in the milk shop, no bread in the bakery, and no fish cream.
Chu Junjie and the others were visiting as foreign guests. They were specially approved to eat in the cafeteria of the Big Brother Investigation Bureau.
There was a banquet with vodka and caviar.
At that time, a person who was permanently stationed in China's Big Brother's office saw it and was very surprised. He said that it was very rare to see it here.
Caviar cost 40 US dollars per kilogram on the black market, which was more than a month's salary for experts. Who could afford it?
Usually, when they ate at the big brother's side, each of them had three slices of cucumber and half a tomato for each meal. It was obvious that they were expensive.
Before they left, Chu Junjie and the others had a farewell banquet. It was at a public-private joint restaurant.
There was not much to eat in other restaurants in Moscow.
The atmosphere was very good, candles were lit, but the food was not as good as in Leningrador.
The best dish was a plate of braised beef. There was a lot of it, but the taste was very poor. Huaxia people didn't eat much, so the people accompanying Big Brother ate a lot.
Chu Junjie still remembered that the big brothers and technicians at the dining table were all eating so much that their eyes were glowing with greed…
It was a terrifying scene.
In the end, a large box of chocolates was placed on each table. Chu Junjie and the others tasted one or two, and the rest of the big brother's entourage put them in their pockets and brought them back.
At that time, the leader of the expedition team led by Chu Junjie and the others sighed with him in private.
The old regiment commander kept sighing," Big brother, oh big brother, it's been more than 70 years since your revolution succeeded. In the 1950s, when the big brother experts came to China, your factory's section chief level of officials already had a small car at home."
40 years later, how did your life become so miserable?
Chu Junjie was also shocked.
He was shocked by his big brother's lack of materials.
At that time, those who accompanied Chu Junjie and the others to attend the banquet were all prominent figures in Leningradsk.
Opposite him was a leader of the Leningrad-based social investigation bureau, who also received the Medal of Leninism.
Not to mention that there were even higher positions.
One of the accompanying people was a two-time Hero of Labor, a six-time winner of the Vladimir Lenin-Prize and the State Prize. He was the Big Brother, an academician of the Academy of Sciences.
Of course, academicians had another salary, so their lives might be better.
All in all, Mosco's trip had left a strong and deep impression on Chu Junjie.
Not long after he returned to the country, just over a month later, Big Brother disintegrated.
This news shocked the entire world.
However, Chu Junjie, who had been to Moscow and Leningradsk, was not surprised.
He even felt that it was logical.
Perhaps his memories in Moscow made him subconsciously feel that his big brother could not hold on much longer.
Chu Junjie thought of the miserable lives of his big brother and then thought of Russia, which was even worse. He felt lucky.
Fortunately, Huaxia Base had chosen the right path.
China had been on the right path since the 1990s and had not suffered any major losses.
Compared to Big Brother, as a Chinese, he was really quite lucky.
Even ordinary Chinese people were many times happier than the people of the current big brother.
"We've arrived at your destination."
The Moscow taxi driver's voice interrupted Chu Junjie who was in a daze.
He opened his eyes, and a sharp light shone in them again.
They had arrived at the Moscow black market.
