Chapter 44-Failed!
Lin Yi felt a little awkward, but on the surface, he pretended that nothing had happened and chatted with Berezovsky.
After a long time, Kadanikov raised his head and said apologetically to Lin Yi,""I'm sorry. I suddenly thought of something and got distracted.”
"Kadanikov is fine. I had a good chat with Berezovsky.”Lin Yi suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and said.
Berezovsky was confused. They had been chatting happily.
Lin Yi just said that Maria was the mother of the Lord! Fortunately, he was an atheist. Otherwise, he would have risked his life with Lin Yi!
Alright, Lin Yi was the boss. Whatever the boss said was right.
Berezovsky showed eight grayish yellow teeth." I talked to the boss about the Bible. He opened up a new world for me.”
"The Bible is indeed a good topic. God is too far away from us. God hasn't cared for the sky of Russia for nearly 70 years.”Kadanikov sighed.
"Alright, back to the main topic. Lin, I can't help you for the time being.”Kadanikov said solemnly.
Lin Yi's heart was gripped tightly. Kadanikov really wanted to eat everything and not admit it.
"The country is still in Bagjo's hands. We need some time to take it back from him, and I believe it won't take too long.”Kadanikov said confidently.
Lin Yi felt his heart tighten again. He noticed that Katannikov was talking about us, not me.
Without a doubt, the 'us' referred to him and Nicholas.
As for taking the country from Bagjo, it probably referred to the fact that Nicolas became the president of Russia in June this year.
Lin Yi believed it now, he really believed it. He completely believed that Kadanikov treated him as a friend. Otherwise, why would he reveal such a confidential matter to him?
However, Lin Yi didn't feel the joy of knowing a big secret at all. Instead, he panicked even more.
He just wanted to do some small business. He really didn't want to know such a big secret, and he didn't want to be pulled into this huge whirlpool.
"Don't worry, when the time is right, I will help you facilitate this business deal. In the future, Russia will not need more fighter jets, and the excess production capacity will be moved to the passenger aircraft production line. Without a doubt, China will be a very good customer. China will help Russia's passenger aircraft export, so that Russia's tomorrow will become better!”Kadanikov said with a smile.
After listening to this, Lin Yi secretly complained in his heart. That's right. In the future, not only would Russia reduce the production line of fighter jets, but even the nuclear warheads would be destroyed by the United States. It was only after Vladimir came to power that Russia's nuclear arsenal became rich again.
Lin Yi took a deep breath." It's okay, Kadanikov. Our goal is to help the people of the two countries have a better life. It's only right for us to wait for a while for this purpose.”
He remembered that in his previous life, Mou Qizhong had flown back to China in November, so he still had plenty of time.
"Yes, Lin, you're right. We should work hard to give the Chinese and Russian people a happier future.”As he spoke, Kadanikov stood up excitedly and wanted to give Lin Yi another hug.
Lin Yi quickly pretended to lower his head and drink some water. Kadanikov could only sit back down resentfully.
"However, Lin, I happen to have something to discuss with you.”Kadanikov said.
"I'm all ears!" Lin Yi said with a smile.
"Actually, I wanted to pull Berezovsky along with me.”With that, Kadanikov glanced at Berezovsky.
Hearing this, the smile on Lin Yi's face gradually froze. He had a bad feeling.
"The Volga Car Factory is the largest car factory in the Soviet Union. It produces hundreds of thousands of all kinds of cars every year, contributing more than one percent to the entire Soviet economy.”Kadanikov said excitedly.
"Yes, very impressive." Lin Yi stuttered.
This was indeed a remarkable figure. If it was in China in the future, it was almost equivalent to the contribution of China National Oil Corporation, China National Petrochemicals Corporation, Ping An insurance company, SAic Group, China Mobile, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, China Construction Bank, and Agricultural Bank of China combined to the GDPs.
" But do you know how these cars are distributed?" asked Kadanikov.
Before Lin Yi could react, Kadanikov continued,""The distribution of vehicles is based on the party. The cars were distributed to various groups, such as the Federation, enterprises, and the Youth League. Each group then decided who could get the precious cars.”
"The problem is not whether you can buy a car, but whether you can get a car after waiting in line for ten years. In other words, if you stand in the wrong line, you will still not get a car even if you wait in line for ten years.”
It was obvious that Kadanikov's words had a double meaning. The word " team " contained endless mysteries.
"Of course, if you get it, no one cares if you use it yourself or sell it at a high price.”Kadanikov said with a smile.
"The price of a Gurili sedan is about 400 rubles, and the price on the black market is nearly 4,000 rubles.”Seeing Lin Yi's puzzled look, Berezovsky explained in a low voice.
With that said, Lin Yi instantly understood. Wasn't this the so-called double-track price system? The price within the plan and the price outside the plan were worlds apart.
"In this situation, no one cares about the quality. The color is irrelevant, and the quality assurance has become a decoration. And this was not the most serious problem. The most serious problem was that all the major repair stations were experiencing a shortage of spare parts at the same time. 1,033 service stations were almost paralyzed. It was like a huge black hole swallowing the few spare parts. Almost all the cars could not be properly repaired.”Kadanikov said as he spread his hands.
"This is indeed a very serious problem. Boss, do you know that every time I park my car, I have to take off the windshield wipers? Otherwise, it will definitely be gone the next day. There was even a time when there were special thieves who carried large suction cups. As long as they saw a clean and uncracked windshield, they would take advantage of the moment when no one was looking to install the suction cups. With a bang, they would steal it in the blink of an eye!”Berezovsky said with a deep sense of pain.
"It was precisely because the demand for spare parts in the black market was so strong that containers were moved out of the factory by criminals. Later on, the criminals became more and more rampant. They could even stand on the production line, directly select some finished cars, and then pull them onto the trailer!”Kadanikov gritted his teeth and waved his fists as if he was extremely angry.
Lin Yi watched Kadanikov's performance quietly. He was not moved at all, and there was not even a ripple in his heart.
The criminals mentioned by Kadanikov were probably the leaders of the Volga car factory. Perhaps Kadanikov himself was also involved in this wealth feast.
Lin Yi had wronged Kadanikov. This plunder started from the bottom up, starting with the petty theft of the poor workers, then slowly extended to the team leader, workshop director, branch factory leader, and then to Kadanikov.
Until now, Kadanikov had not personally participated in the party. All he did was sign a few documents handed over by others.
Of course, those who dared to directly take away a container or even occupy the production line had to be at the level of the branch factory leader or above.
"We have to save Volga!" Kadanikov shouted.
"Lin, I need you to do it with me!”Kadanikov clenched his fists and said excitedly.
As expected!
Lin Yi's head instantly hurt. Ever since Kadanikov said that he wanted to pull Berezovsky along, he had already expected it.
Without waiting for Lin Yi to speak, Kadanikov couldn't help but exclaim,""Volga can't let those despicable people wantonly destroy it! The biggest problem now is that the communication channel between the Volga cars and the outside world has been blocked. We have to open this channel and sell the Volga cars and the parts on them! Let all the people of Russia drive Volga cars!”
Lin Yi felt helpless as he watched Kadanikov's performance. Sometimes, he felt that he was already quite shameless, but compared to Kadanikov, he felt that he was nothing.
What was the difference between what Kadanikov wanted to do and what he said the scumbag did?
It was nothing more than a robbery, and he was paying for it.
But without a doubt, when Kadanikov sold the car to him, he must have sold it at the planned price of more than 400 rubles per car and then increased the price to more than 4,000 rubles. How was this different from robbery?
After saying that, Kadanikov's large eyes stared at Lin Yi without moving.
It was definitely not good for him to personally deal with this kind of thing, so he planned to let Berezovsky act as his agent and personally handle this matter.
But now, he had a better choice, and that was Lin Yi.
Lin Yi was rich, and he was a foreigner.
If Lin Yi had money, he could open up the situation faster and sell more Volga cars, preventing him from finding ways to raise capital or risk his own bottom line.
After all, he wanted to save his face and was sincere about paying.
As a foreigner, it was even harder for others to implicate him in this matter. As a political figure, he had to cherish his feathers, especially when he ascended to a higher position in a few months.
At that time, he would have his trusted aides in Volga and Lin Yi outside. No one would be able to contact him.
Moreover, Berezovsky was his subordinate. What he valued, Berezovsky's intelligence, could still be perfectly displayed.
In addition, Lin Yi was just a foreigner and had no foundation in Moscow, so it was even easier for him to manipulate him.
Really, the more he looked at Lin Yi, the more he felt that there was no one more suitable than Lin Yi in the world.
"Kadanikov, I really don't think I'm suitable for this.”Lin Yi said with a troubled expression.
He was really stunned and helpless now. There was no doubt that his butterfly wings were flapping again, and the deviation was getting bigger and bigger. It was so big that Lin Yi felt that he had changed beyond recognition.
Kadanikov actually wanted him to replace Berezovsky's original role, and it was two years ahead of schedule.
But to be honest, Lin Yi was really unwilling to do this deal.
He felt like he was about to collapse. Why was he getting more and more serious? He was so scared!
