The two chatted and drank, and soon arrived in Leningrad. They were both very drunk and very good friends. It felt like time passed very quickly. The most important thing was that the vehicle they were traveling on was a ministerial-level patent, and any vehicle needs to give way.

OK. Although there is no high-speed railway in the Soviet Union, the railway line from Moscow to Leningrad is definitely the best section; therefore, the train speed is definitely not slow!

Everyone in the world knows that this city is definitely a heroic city, and can even be said to be a symbol of perseverance. During World War II, Leningrad staged a tragic history. The German army besieged the city for 872

It was the longest siege and counter-siege operation during World War II.

The Soviet military and civilians began the difficult battle to defend Leningrad. The battle to defend Leningrad eventually won, but they also paid a heavy price: according to statistics, a total of 642,000 people died of hunger and cold in Leningrad, and more than 20,000 people died.

German air raids

With the shelling, 3,200 buildings were destroyed, the city was beyond recognition, and the streets turned into rubble. After the war, people rebuilt their homes and restored the monuments destroyed by German artillery fire one by one. After the hard work of artists and craftsmen, the city reappeared.

The style of the past.

But Mr. Bao may be more interested in the more than 4,000 industrial enterprises in the city. Leningrad's industry is mainly based on shipbuilding, power machinery and other manufacturing industries. The shipbuilding industry ranks first in the CIS and can produce large-scale atomic icebreakers.

It also produces various vehicles, motors and weapons.

Next is the chemical industry, which produces superphosphate, ships and other synthetic rubber products, plastics and their products, and synthetic fibers. As for the textile, food and daily consumer goods industries, they are also very developed, including cotton and linen textiles, clothing and boots and shoes.

industry; but that is relative to the Soviet Union. If this scope were extended to the entire world, then this light industry would definitely not be enough.

Not to mention compared to Italy, France, and China; in previous lives, the light industry of India and Vietnam was also stronger than here.

Although the industrial enterprises are good, they are powerless now. At least until the Soviet Union disintegrates, there is no chance. Even if the Soviet Union disintegrates, Bao Zixuan is not prepared to take advantage; the price given will be relatively reasonable, at least compared to other businessmen.

, much more. I am very determined about this. In fact, I am mainly worried about being blamed.

The general equipment minister came to inspect in person. Moreover, he is a minister who can benefit his subordinates, and he also brings with him a god of wealth. Of course, he must be warmly received.

Heiyun Group has offices in major cities in the Soviet Union. Therefore, Bao Zixuan does not have to worry about other problems. He Xiaobo will arrange everything. As the person in charge of Heiyun Soviet Union, it is rare for the boss to come here; he must accompany him throughout the whole process and provide good service.

.

After exchanging pleasantries with local officials, little Ustinov took Bao Zixuan to the destination of his trip - the Ruby Central Design Bureau.

The Ruby Design Bureau can be said to be the oldest design bureau in the Soviet Union. It has already begun to take shape during the Tsarist Russia. In addition, it is a world leader in the field of submarines, so it is arrogant in itself.

It is not unacceptable for capable and talented people to be arrogant. But when it comes to choosing who to choose, in front of Bao Zixuan, their talents are really not enough.

Therefore, the chief designer of the design bureau, Spassky, came to greet him at the door to show his attention.

Spisky was born in 1926 and graduated from the Dzerzhinsk Higher Naval Engineering Institute in 1949. In 1950, he was assigned to the 143rd Central Design Bureau to participate in design work. In 1953, he was transferred to the 18th Design Bureau. He participated in the 658th and 658m classes.

In 1968, he was promoted to chief engineer, and in 1974 to chief engineer, where he remains today.

During his time as chief engineer, there were more than 20 submarine design and modification projects and a total of 187 submarines were designed under his leadership. Among them, 91 were diesel-electric and 96 were nuclear-powered.

Spaisky won the Lenin Prize twice, the October Revolution Prize once, the Red Banner for Advanced Labor, the Soviet State Prize once, and was awarded the title of Doctor of Technical Sciences in 1978.

This is a legendary figure who not only has high academic qualifications, but also is full of honors. He can be said to be the number one person in the world's submarine field, and it is estimated that even his rival Americans will not object.

As a master of this kind of technology, Bao Shoufang knows that even if he has an idea, it is probably unrealistic. Even if the Soviet Union disintegrates, Russia will fully protect national treasure engineers. No one is stupid, and national defense security requires not only brave and courageous soldiers.

, it also requires a large number of engineering and technical personnel; especially such top engineers are the top priority.

After the introduction, Bao Zixuan and Spassky looked at each other. Seeing this young man who was less than 30 years old in front of him, Spassky felt incredible. It is incredible that such a young man can achieve so many achievements.

Dare to imagine.

Bao Zixuan was also curious about who this engineer who left such a mark in the history of world submarines was.

Although they have the most powerful technology in the world, they cannot make a good living for the engineers of the design bureau simply by providing weapons and equipment to the Soviet Ministry of Defense. As the chief engineer, Spisky certainly knows this. Bao Zixuan came to the Soviet Union

, immediately came to Ruby Design Bureau, the purpose is self-evident. It must be to buy a submarine, so that his subordinates can live a happy life; we really need to see what the needs of this young man in front of him are.

Spaisky smiled and said: "Welcome to the Ruby Central Design Bureau, you are much younger than I thought."

The old man was so polite, which made little Ustinov feel incredible; after all, he, the chief of general equipment, had never given him a good look. In fact, it was not just little Ustinov, but also the people next to him. They

But someone who has worked with Spaisky for many years certainly knows what the old man's temper is like. No matter how big an official you are or whether you are a military representative of another country, as long as you do something wrong, you will basically not be given face.

I have a bad attitude towards some talented young engineers. Of course, this is also to motivate young people, but everyone has different methods, which I can blame.

Meeting Bao Zixuan for the first time was like seeing his own son. That is because Bao Zixuan is of typical Asian descent, otherwise everyone would really doubt him in this regard.

In fact, only Spassky understood in his heart that Bao Zixuan was different from other businessmen or military purchasers from various countries. He himself was a talented and talented engineer. Although he belonged to different fields, science and engineering were never separated, and everyone still knew each other.

The old man thinks about problems according to the inherent way of a man in science and engineering. Therefore, he defines Bao Zixuan as an engineer at the same level as himself. This old man still knows this in his heart.

Of course, he also needs to consider his job. As a chief engineer, even if the country is in difficulty, there will still be no problems with material allocation and priority will be given to it.

But his engineers need to eat and have families to support. The old man knows all about their conversations in the past few days. Of course he will not be convinced that other design bureau engineers have received huge rewards. Everyone is working for the country, and their own contributions are not

No less. Some people are still classmates, but seeing their classmates living such a carefree life and having nothing on their side, one can imagine the psychological gap.

The rewards for engineering and technical personnel are home appliances and cars produced by the Heiyun Group. Now that the boss of Heiyun comes to buy submarines, as long as the service is good, the Ruby Central Design Bureau may get more.

That's why Spassky was so polite. It wasn't the first time in his life, but it was definitely rare.

If someone is being polite to you, Bao Bao, the richest man, cannot be ungrateful and quickly replies: "Hello, Chief Engineer Spassky! I'm also very happy to meet you. Although I mainly study aviation power and have never dabbled in submarines. But

Your name is like thunder in my ears."

"It is a great honor to meet you today. At the same time, I would like to trouble you when I come here this time. We need to order a batch of submarines from the Ruby Design Bureau, but we have some technical requirements and need your guidance."

When dealing with engineers, it is better to be direct and straightforward. Making so many false claims is a waste of everyone's time; it is simply unnecessary.

As a man of science and engineering, Bao Zixuan certainly understood what the engineer was thinking. Therefore, although he went straight to the topic, it suited the old man's taste.

In fact, Spisky also knew that the other party's words were very polite. He said that there were technical requirements and he needed his guidance. It would be better to say clearly that the Ruby Central Design Bureau was needed to improve the performance of the existing submarines; the original Soviet products were not very satisfactory.

It is understandable that the operational needs of navies of different countries are different. And it is not impossible to change the design and technical specifications. Before buying a submarine, I was really worried about the other party's requirements. But now I hope that the customer will make requirements, otherwise, how can my engineers do it?
