Chapter 43-Great Plan?
After returning to his room, Lin Yi turned to look at Berezovsky.
Berezovsky was admiring the luxurious decorations of the Moscow hotel, completely unaware that Lin Yi had already used him as a killing machine.
As a Muscovite, he had never been to the Moscow Hotel before. This time, he had borrowed Lin Yi's help.
" Berezovsky, go take a shower. We'll have a big meal at noon, but I want to see Mr. Kadanikov at night. Is that okay?" Lin Yi said.
" No problem, my boss," Berezovsky said with a smile." If you want, you can see Director Kadanikov at any time."”
He really didn't know why Lin Yi wanted to see Kadanikov so urgently.
It was not difficult for him to meet Kadanikov, and he could even see him at any time. He often talked with Kadanikov about the Russian car economy in the middle of the night, so much so that it was common for him to stay at Kadanikov's house.
It could be said that he was a frequent visitor to Kadanikov's family. It was just that he had recently finished writing his thesis on the Russian car economy model, so he was too embarrassed to go to Kadanikov's family for a meal. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so down and out.
After Berezovsky entered the bathroom, Lin Yi said to the interpreter,""Go down and buy Berezovsky a set of clothes.”
Although the translator was a little puzzled as to why the boss wanted to buy clothes for this down-and-out Soviet man, he knew what his duty was, so he obediently ran over to buy clothes for Berezovsky.
The reason why Lin Yi did this was because of the old saying,"If you want to take it, you must give it first."
Now, the better he treated Berezovsky, the more he wanted Berezovsky.
At night, Volga Car Factory, Family Yard No. 1.
Kadanikov welcomed Lin Yi's visit and treated him to a sumptuous dinner.
"Compared to Chinese cuisine, the food in the Soviet Union is still a little too simple.”Kadanikov took off his napkin and said regretfully.
Kadanikov had been to China a few times before, and he knew some English. Just now, at the dining table, the three of them were talking about some interesting things about China, and they had a good time.
"If there's a chance, I'd like to invite you to China. I'll take you to eat the best food in China.”Lin Yi said with a smile.
After saying that, Lin Yi looked up and down at Kadanikov. This 40-year-old, energetic director of the Volga car factory was a real big shot.
His status was higher than the chairman of China First Steam, almost equivalent to a minister.
In the near future, he would even rise to the top and become the first vice president of Russia. It was reasonable.
After chatting for a while, Kadanikov invited Lin Yi to the study. The three of them sat quietly on the chairs and suddenly became silent.
After a long time, Kadanikov said,""Lin, Berezovsky is my most valued friend. Since you are his boss now, just say it.”
Hearing this, Berezovsky suddenly felt a little flattered. Although he knew that Kadanikov looked at him differently, he never knew that he had such a high position in Kadanikov's heart.
It could only be said that Berezovsky was as slow as other scientists when it came to emotions.
If he didn't have such a position in Kadanikov's heart, how could Kadanikov have talked to him until late at night, even let him stay in his house, and allowed Berezovsky to drive a broken car to the Volga car factory to replace the parts and paint it?
Lin Yi was also aware of this. If it weren't for this relationship, Kadanikov wouldn't have dragged Berezovsky to become a second-hand car dealer after he stepped down in 1993.
"My country needs a batch of commercial airliners, and the Soviet Union happens to have them, so I came.”
"I want your help now, Mr. Kadanikov.”Lin Yi stared into Kadanikov's eyes and said slowly.
Kadanikov raised his eyebrows slightly, looking a little surprised. He thought that Lin Yi's request was related to cars, but he didn't expect it to be a passenger plane.
Lin Yi was relieved when he saw Kadannikov's expression. He was only surprised and didn't look troubled.
For the director of an auto factory, a commercial airliner seemed to have nothing to do with him.
As for Kadanikov, a well-known close friend of Nikolay, both the Soviet Ministry of Aerospace Industry and the Kuibyshev aircraft manufacturing plant had to give him face.
Ordinary people might still be muddle-headed, but for these big bureaucrats, Nikolay's rise to power was inevitable, and Kadanikov was bound to rise to a higher position. It was not an exaggeration to say that he controlled their fate.
Who would refuse the request of a big shot, not to mention that this person was in control of his own destiny, especially in this turbulent period where the world could change at any time? Wasn't that courting death?
Lin Yi gestured for Berezovsky to hand him the passcode box.
He opened the passcode box and placed it on the table. 500,000 rubles appeared in front of everyone.
Berezovsky covered his mouth. He really didn't expect that the box he had been carrying all the way would contain a huge sum of 500,000 rubles!
He had never earned so much in his entire life.
Kadanikov's eyelids slightly lifted, revealing a trace of surprise."What does this mean?"
Although he had a high position and power, his monthly salary was not much higher than Berezovsky's, only 500 rubles. After 1985, although he had saved some money through the chaos, it was actually less than 2 million rubles. This 500,000 was the largest amount of money he had ever seen.
Seeing Kadanikov's expression, Lin Yi's heart was instantly relieved. He was afraid that the Soviet order had collapsed in the past few years. Kadanikov had gotten too many benefits and would not be interested in his 500,000 rubles.
500,000 rubles was actually not a small amount. It was equivalent to four to five million Chinese dollars. Especially in this era, it could indeed be considered a huge sum of money.
He had only wanted to give 200,000 yuan. After all, the landlord did not have any surplus grain these days. He had to grit his teeth to fork out 500,000 yuan.
After all, there were still ten train carriages of goods to be paid for, not to mention that the goods that had been ordered would arrive soon.
Lin Yi smiled." Mr. Kadanikov, since you know China so well, you must know that Chinese people always bring small gifts when they visit guests. A mere 500,000 yuan is just a small token of respect. It's purely to thank you for your sumptuous hospitality today. There's no other meaning.”
Kadanikov was stunned for a moment, and then the smile on his face grew wider and wider. Finally, he laughed heartily." Lin, your little gift is too expensive.”
"Then we'll be friends from now on!”As he spoke, Kadanikov stood up and gave Lin Yi a big bear hug.
A strong perfume smell and a faint foxy smell assaulted Lin Yi's senses. He resisted the nausea in his heart and patted Kadanikov's back." Kadanikov, we've been friends since I entered this room."”
Lin Yi heaved a sigh of relief after Kadanikov let go. He swore that he would never hug this westerner again, no matter if he was rich or poor. It was like poverty had its own taste, and wealth had its own taste. Each one was more delicious than the last.
After sitting down again, Kadanikov suddenly lowered his head and fell silent.
This made Lin Yi's heart skip a beat. Did this guy really treat his 500,000 yuan as a meeting gift?
It was said that the Russians were straightforward, but it couldn't be to this extent, right?
Was his 500,000 rubles really going to go down the drain?
