Rebirth 1989: My Unlucky Career

Hearing this, Yalikov shrugged helplessly, seeming to agree with his boss's words.

"Okay, then help me ask him how much he can pay for it."

The boss nodded and conveyed the message to Zhao Zhuo.

Zhao Zhuo still looked like he didn't understand the conversation between the two. After the boss finished speaking, he put on a look of disdain and said lightly:

"How much? With the depreciation of your Soviet currency, do you dare to ask for it if I give it to you?"

When the boss heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

Because Zhao Zhuo told the truth, the Soviet Union's currency is depreciating so fast that you can't even buy a piece of bread with a bunch of banknotes in the market, and they are almost becoming waste paper.

After realizing this problem, Yalikov also scratched his head in embarrassment:

"In that case, what are you going to give me in exchange for my production line?"

Unknowingly, Zhao Zhuo has mastered the rhythm of the negotiation, and Yalikov has subconsciously acquiesced to Zhao Zhuo's strength.

Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but feel secretly happy as he watched the situation come under his control little by little.

But on the surface, he remained calm, but pretended to be heroic and waved his hand:

"Tell me, what do you want?"

Yalikov's eyes suddenly lit up:

"Living supplies! Any living supplies will do!"

With the Soviet Union's economy in a state of collapse, all industry, especially light industry, had already ceased production.

Therefore, any daily necessities are rarely in short supply on the market!

Seeing Yalikov being so undisguised, Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but want to laugh:

"It seems that this Yalikov is really not a qualified businessman. If he exposes his needs so straightforwardly, isn't he waiting to be ripped off?"

Zhao Zhuo already had an idea in mind and was just waiting for his boss to "translate" for him.

Unexpectedly, after the boss heard what Yalikov said, he did not immediately translate it to Zhao Zhuo, but his eyes turned uncertainly.

Seeing this, Zhao Zhuo subconsciously became cautious.

On the surface, Zhao Zhuo still had a puzzled expression:

"Boss, what request did this bearded man make? Why are you so excited?"

The boss heard this, thought for a moment, and then said with some embarrassment:

"Yarikov said...he wants gold!"

Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo sneered in his heart:

"This old fox really has bad intentions!"

Living supplies turned into gold, it is obvious that they want to make a dirty deal.

The boss's purpose is self-evident - he wants to leave Zhao Zhuo and do it himself!

After all, who can’t get daily necessities?

As long as you return to China to buy some daily necessities, and then send them to the Soviet Union, you will have a neat production line!

Everyone wants to do this kind of business, so the boss naturally won't just watch Zhao Zhuo eat this piece of fat.

"Gold? Where can I get gold? That's a strategic material!"

Zhao Zhuo looked shocked and said with great dissatisfaction.

Seeing the sudden change in Zhao Zhuo's expression, Yalikov was even more confused and asked his boss what Zhao Zhuo was talking about.

The boss quickly tried to comfort both sides.

I saw him put on an understanding look and said to Zhao Zhuo:

"Well, I also know that Yalikov's request is a bit overwhelming. I will help you discuss it."

Immediately afterwards, the boss turned to Yalikov and said:

"Zhao Zhuo said that transporting daily necessities is too troublesome, so we can only use our currency to trade with you."

Hearing this, Yalikov waved his hands repeatedly:

"No, no, what do I need your currency for?"

...

In this way, under the boss's deliberate provocation, the two sides became more and more stalemate.

Zhao Zhuo also cooperated with his boss in acting.

In the end, Zhao Zhuo pretended to be angry and slapped the table:

"In that case, there's no need to talk about it!"

After saying that, Zhao Zhuo turned around and left.

Seeing how difficult it was for Zhao Zhuo to speak, Yalikov snorted coldly, appearing very dissatisfied.

The boss felt ecstatic when he saw this.

While pretending to comfort Zhao Zhuo, he did not forget to say to Yalikov:

"I'll come see you tomorrow to discuss something."

Zhao Zhuo, who was pretending to be angry, inadvertently revealed a sneer when he heard this. On the surface, he remained indifferent and left the factory.

...

Return to the hotel.

"This old guy doesn't look like he's doing business!"

Zhao Zhuo said with an angry expression.

"Hey, old man, it's like this. Brother Zhao, don't be angry."

The boss consoled him.

"By the way, how about I search for you again to see if there is any suitable business?"

"Put them down, I don't want to do business with them anymore. After I finish my own affairs, I will return to China."

Zhao Zhuo waved his hand and rejected the boss's "kindness".

After saying that, Zhao Zhuo went straight upstairs.

Seeing that he could no longer let Zhao Zhuo help him negotiate business, the boss couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

"Hmph, this guy has a business acumen, but he's just a little green."

The boss looked at Zhao Zhuo's back walking upstairs and smiled coldly.

When he thought that this big deal was within his reach, the boss felt excited.

On the other side, Zhao Zhuo returned to the room and lay on the bed to catch up on his sleep.

The boss and Yalikov agreed that Zhao Zhuo still has plenty of time tomorrow, so don't be in a hurry.

...

It was night time before he knew it. Zhao Zhuo woke up from his sleep and walked downstairs slowly.

"Brother Zhao, haven't you had dinner yet?"

The boss saw Zhao Zhuo and greeted him warmly.

"Well, I'm going out for a walk."

Zhao Zhuo nodded and said casually.

The boss heard this and didn't care.

The two exchanged a few words, and then Zhao Zhuocai slowly walked out the door.

And when he went out, Zhao Zhuo's whole spirit suddenly changed, and he no longer looked like he was lazy in the hotel.

Instead, there is a young businessman with bright eyes and radiant light!

Zhao Zhuo followed the route in his memory and arrived at the textile factory with ease.

At this time, not even a single person could be seen in the already somewhat remote textile factory. Only the security room at the gate was still lit.

Zhao Zhuo came to the door of the security room.

"What do you do?!"

The security guard looked at Zhao Zhuo warily and asked.

Zhao Zhuo answered in fluent Russian:

"Call your factory director and tell him that I have urgent matters to see him!"

Zhao Zhuo's words fooled the security guards.

"Who are you? Why are you looking for our factory director?"

"I came to see your factory director today to discuss business. As for what I am here for now, I advise you not to ask too clearly."

Zhao Zhuo said calmly, pretending to be profound.

This gesture really made the security guard stunned for a moment.

"Okay, then wait a moment."

After saying that, the security guard picked up the phone and called Yalikov.

Yalikov, who was sleeping, heard that it was Zhao Zhuo and immediately cursed.

"Let him leave immediately! Even if these machines of mine are rusty, I will not sell them to him!"
