Chapter 2203
Wang Zhenggang
Giving money is a habit.
In his previous life, under Yi Zhonghai's tutelage, Sha Zhu had made giving Qin Huai money a habit.
He would give it to Qin Huai as long as he wanted it.
Later, even before they got married, he gave his salary to Qin Huairu.
In this lifetime, I'll no longer have Sha Zhu as my constant sucker.
Since Yi Zhonghai couldn't find a scapegoat, he had to step in himself.
Without realizing it, he developed the habit of giving Qin Huai money.
He's a little better than Sha Zhu in that he's not as quick-witted as Sha Zhu.
But he couldn't break the habit.
Every time I can't help but give money, I use retirement as an excuse to convince myself.
Qin Huairu grasped this point and kept testing Yi Zhonghai's bottom line.
Before we knew it, several years had passed, and we entered the 90s.
He Yuzhu knew it was almost time, so he prepared to go to the Soviet Union.
This time he wasn't alone; Lin Jingcheng was with him.
Lin Jingcheng went along, naturally to exchange credit with He Yuzhu.
"Brother-in-law, everything is arranged. They are all staying in several hotels nearby."
This is information provided by the domestic authorities. It includes several key individuals they want to recruit.
He Yuzhu did not take the document: "This is your responsibility, you don't need to tell me."
The instructions have already been given to you; you can handle it yourself.
Lin Jingcheng said, "You've left everything to me, so why did you insist on coming along?"
It's very chaotic here right now.
There are also many spies from various countries.
A group of Japanese people were staying in the hotel across the street.
I'm certain there are Japanese spies inside.
He Yuzhu was taken aback: "How did you know?"
Lin Jingcheng explained, "Among the first group of people to arrive, the team leader is Du Dongliang."
He had once carried out a secret mission to Japan and knew one of the people there.
He Yuzhu nodded: "Then we need to be careful with our actions."
Don't forget to have someone keep an eye on them.
Let's start proceeding according to plan tomorrow.
He Yuzhu's plan was not complicated. As the figurehead, he was responsible for acquiring some factories to attract attention.
Lin Jingcheng then led his people to contact experts in the relevant fields.
In the early stages, the country had already contacted many experts and gained a lot of information.
But there are some things that people are unwilling to sell until the very last moment.
This is the final chaos.
If you can't get it, then you have to give up.
He Yuzhu left the hotel and went to a coffee shop.
A Chinese man stood at the entrance of the coffee shop. This man was Wang Zhenggang, He Yuzhu's chief representative in the Soviet Union.
Wang Zhenggang was originally a middleman who traveled between China and the Soviet Union.
By chance, He Yuzhu met him, and after observing him, Wang Zhenggang gained He Yuzhu's trust.
He Yuzhu then entrusted him with the business dealings in the Soviet Union.
With the massive amount of supplies provided by He Yuzhu, Wang Zhenggang's business is thriving.
He traded domestic daily necessities for a lot of machinery and equipment.
He Yuzhu didn't use those devices himself, so he sold them to factories in China.
Wang Zhenggang saw He Yuzhu from afar and quickly walked over: "President He, why did you come to the Soviet Union in person?"
He Yuzhu smiled and said, "I happened to have some free time recently, so I came to take a look."
Zheng Gang, tell me about the current situation.
Wang Zhenggang said, "Let's go into the coffee shop first. Once inside, I'll explain everything to you in detail."
The two entered the coffee shop, ordered a coffee, and then Wang Zhenggang explained the current situation to He Yuzhu.
Simply put, it's a mess. "I had my eye on some equipment from a machine tool factory, and the factory manager agreed to sell it to me."
But a Japanese soldier suddenly appeared halfway through, and I don't know what method he used.
They bought all the equipment and blueprints at half price.
The reason why people would choose a lower price over a higher one is definitely because the benefits offered behind the scenes are greater.
As for what benefits are involved, that's no longer important.
There's more than one machine tool manufacturer like that. If you need technology, you can look for other machine tool manufacturers.
"We'll settle accounts with those Japanese devils later. Have you prepared the supplies and warehouses I asked you to stockpile?"
Wang Zhenggang nodded: "The supplies have all been delivered. I have stored them in more than twenty warehouses in the Soviet Union."
There are more than twenty in Ukraine, and other cities with many military industrial enterprises have also stockpiled a considerable amount.
"Were you not discovered?" He Yuzhu asked.
"No. Every time goods arrive, I sell 80% of them to the public, and secretly hoard the rest," Wang Zhenggang said confidently.
He Yuzhu admired Wang Zhenggang's caution.
"You did very well."
Wang Zhenggang whispered, "Mr. He, I've established connections with the car factory here. They have a car production line that's about 80% new."
He Yuzhu took a sip of coffee and asked in a low voice, "You want to build cars?"
Wang Zhenggang smiled and didn't hide anything: "In my experience, this kind of chaos won't last long."
Once the chaos stops, trade won't be as profitable.
I was thinking that it would be great if I could open a car factory in the country.
However, I don't have any connections, so I'd like to ask for your help.
He Yuzhu nodded: "Making cars, huh? That's a good business. I agree to it. I'll help you with the paperwork when we get back to China."
For He Yuzhu, this was a trivial matter.
Given the merits he has made, the higher-ups will not stop him.
In fact, Wang Zhenggang had made many contributions, but he himself was unaware of it.
Many supplies in China were secretly transported back through his connections.
After chatting for a while, He Yuzhu got down to business.
"Don't just focus on the civilian sector, consider the military sector as well."
"Military industry?" Wang Zhenggang looked at He Yuzhu with some surprise.
He Yuzhu nodded: "I came here this time for matters in the military industry."
Otherwise, for civilian use only, I wouldn't need to get involved at all.
Wang Zhenggang then understood He Yuzhu's purpose in coming to the Soviet Union.
Although he knew that the military industry was very profitable, it was also very risky.
"Mr. He, I've also been involved in the military industry. However, quite a few people are watching—Americans, British, Japanese…"
He Yuzhu said, "The fact that those people are watching means that the item is a good thing."
If they can take it, why can't we?
"But there are risks involved in bringing it back. Would it be allowed in China?"
To be honest, I went back to visit my parents at the end of last year.
The local government almost arrested me on charges of speculation and profiteering.
Fortunately, the county official at the time was my father's comrade-in-arms, and he spoke up for me, which saved my life.
He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Do you really think a county official has that much power?"
Wang Zhenggang was taken aback.
He Yuzhu explained, "To tell you the truth, it was only because of orders from above that those people let you go."
Behind me stands the nation. We're not working for ourselves, understand?
Wang Zhenggang looked at He Yuzhu with surprise: "Who exactly are you?"
He Yuzhu quietly told Wang Zhenggang his true identity.
"Is this true?" Wang Zhenggang was somewhat skeptical.
He Yuzhu said, "Otherwise, do you think I, an official from a ministry who went into business, have such great ability to get so much stuff?"
"Haven't you noticed how smoothly you've been shipping goods from within China?"
Wang Zhenggang suddenly realized that his various procedures in China had indeed gone very smoothly.
"I understand." (End of Chapter)
