Chapter 176 Value

Deyang, Dongqi Group.

This was Kuchma's first visit to China, but he didn't feel any novelty in his heart, only feeling extremely desperate.

Just a few months ago, Huaxia took away most of the shares of the Motor Sich factory through a model that concealed huge loopholes, and even launched a poison pill plan to lure the Motor Sich factory to make a series of wrong decisions. The financial situation of the entire group was pulled into the abyss.

The U.S. shares were forced to withdraw, and Dongqi took advantage of the situation to completely win Motor Sich.

And their action is only less than two weeks faster than the time when UKR issued the prohibition list.

Just two weeks away.

He was just two weeks away from keeping the UKR's own company.

But now, it's too late.

After being fully controlled, even the UKR official had to compromise, otherwise, those wolf-like engineers of Dongqi Group would really dare to use the poison pill plan to completely destroy the entire Motor Sich, and then evacuate everything there Equipment, all data.

Not to mention the equipment, even the personnel, they are all ready to pack and take away.

In just one year, the number of scientific researchers and other related personnel who came to Dongqi on "business trips" from Motor Sic reached an astonishing 900.

These people were scattered around the factory of Dongqi Group, and after a long period of adaptation, they have already integrated into the life here.

And he was the last batch of engineers who came to Dongqi Group.

He originally wanted to resign, but when he thought about the deteriorating economic environment in China and the three children in his family, he felt that he had no choice.

So, he had no choice but to follow Meng Qinghao's arrangement and flew here with his family.

As soon as he got off the plane, he was arranged to sit in a special commercial car to meet him. The professional staff of the customer engineering department took good care of him. Coupled with the welcome ceremony with colorful lights and colorful drums, he finally felt a little relieved. Come.

At the same time, the colleague who arranged to receive him was already waiting at the door, and as soon as he saw his figure, he immediately greeted him.

"Kuchma!"

"Lermontov!"

Kuchma hurriedly took two steps, stepped forward and took Lermontov's hand.

"How is it? Did the trip go well? How about the rest?"

Lermontov was all smiles, but Kuchma subconsciously believed that his smile was fake.

Yes, how can the process of being far from home and struggling to gain a foothold in a completely unfamiliar environment be enjoyable?

His current performance is just to make a good impression in the eyes of those Chinese people, so as to make his life better, right?

Thinking of this, Kuchma sighed, and replied with pity:

"Fortunately, everything went well on the road."

"However, it's really hard for you to be here."

However, his sincerity was completely misunderstood by Lermontov.

At this moment, what he thought in his heart was:

Indeed, the time in the past few months is really too tight. Many times I have to work overtime until after ten o'clock, even on weekends.

Fortunately, now that the project has come to an end, in the next few days, I should be quite leisurely.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, maybe you can go to Chengdu.

My wife and children are clamoring to see pandas, so let's go.

Just thinking about the tiredness of the journey makes me feel really hard.

However, how would Kuchma know the situation here?

Did he already pay attention to the progress here when he was in China?

Sure enough, he is a leader. With such a vision and vision, he should have realized that it is the right choice to cooperate with Dongqi and come here, right?

Lermontov smiled gratefully and replied:

"It's not hard work, our cause is valuable."

"This time you are here, maybe we can go to the next level soon."

Hearing this, Kuchma immediately became vigilant.

He realized that this might be a signal from Lermontov to himself.

Sure enough, in this unfree country, even if you speak, you must be monitored, and you must not show any dissatisfaction.

So, he nodded slightly and said:

"Yes, hopefully our cause goes further."

While speaking, Lermontov had already taken his luggage and walked towards the park with Kuchma and his family.

While walking, he introduced:

"This is the main factory area of Dongqi Group. They have three other factories like this around the country."

"The scale is huge! Moreover, I heard that a new building will be built this year to accommodate the equipment taken over from Madasic."

"At that time, maybe we still have the opportunity to use those familiar equipment."

A disdainful smile appeared on the corner of Lermontov's mouth, and he thought to himself:

As for those devices, I really don't want to use them now.

Too rough, too old, and even some of them are completely behind this era. If it weren’t for some functions that have not been implemented on those devices, I am afraid they would not be accepted at all, but directly disassembled into parts extraction technology Bar

Dongqi's new equipment is better.

Comprehensive electronic informationization, simple operation, high accuracy, and most importantly, there are data records throughout the process.

It is no longer necessary to record with a pen and paper while operating. Thinking about it, that is an extremely inefficient working method.

It's nice to have money.

His expression became a little emotional, but such emotion changed in Kuchma's eyes.

It turns out that my colleagues don't even have access to the most advanced equipment here?

Judging by Lermontov's performance, he has already begun to miss those "steel comrades" he is familiar with.

really sad

So, he opened his mouth to comfort and said:

"It will definitely be used, don't worry."

Lermontov gave him a strange look, but he didn't think much about it, but continued:

"Walking through this small road is the staff dormitory area. Logically speaking, you should be allocated a single-family house. After all, you are a senior engineer."

"However, too many people have come here recently, and the residence cannot be arranged, so you are temporarily arranged next door to me."

"Although it is narrower, it should be enough."

Kutchman let out a sigh, but did not speak.

For such a situation, he had long been mentally prepared.

To put it bluntly, the current self is nothing more than a "captive" after the failure of the business war. Since he is a prisoner, what right does he have to choose the cell where he is held?

Yes, it is already good.

He only hopes that he can have two beds in his residence, after all, the child has grown up and can no longer sleep with his parents.

The few people continued to move forward, but Kuchma's wife and children were curious about the new things in front of them. They were used to seeing the same gray buildings in the UKR. When they first saw the red walls and green tiles in the dormitory area, they felt There is an indescribable beauty.

Kuchma's youngest son ran around here and there, and Lermontov didn't stop him, but Kuchma called him back sternly.

He didn't want to make a mistake because of his son on the first day he came here.

He must be responsible to his wife and children.

Not long after, a few people came to the dormitory building at their destination. Looking at the brand new building in front of them, Kuchma was a little puzzled.

This condition does not seem to be too bad?

Could it be that several families live in one room?

shouldn't

Walking into the corridor, something even more surprising happened to him.

Here, there is actually an elevator.

Kuchma looked at Lermontov suspiciously, and asked:

"Is this the dormitory building?"

"yes!"

Lermontov answered naturally.

"Why is there an elevator?"

"This is a newly built dormitory, all of which have elevators—of course, the price is also high, with an average monthly rent of 500 yuan more."

"Oh, I see."

Kuchma said understandingly.

It turned out that through this method, the wages sent out were recovered.

This one detail already reflects their ambitions, but I don't know what to do about other aspects.

Everyone walked into the elevator, and soon reached the sixth floor, and opened the door.

Kuchma stared blankly at the spacious and bright room with complete appliances, and tentatively asked:

"Which room do we live in?"

"Which one? Uh... you can live in the master bedroom, and each of the two children should have a second bedroom."

"This set of rooms is all ours?"

Kuchma asked in disbelief.

"To be precise, it's a temporary resettlement. You don't have to pay rent for the first three months, but after three months, you need to pay 2,700 yuan a month in rent."

"Of course, if you want to move to the villa area, you can turn over when the quota becomes vacant, but that's more expensive, and the better ones will even take more than 10,000 a month."

More than ten thousand.

Kuchma recited the number silently in his heart.

If you just look at the basic salary, he needs to work in UKR for two months to save enough for one month's salary here.

It is indeed not low.

And the wages here cannot be much higher than UKR.

"I still won't move."

He opened his mouth and began to worry secretly about his future life.

But looking at Lermontov, he didn't mean to be embarrassed at all. After quickly packing his luggage, he said to Kuchma:

"The time is right now, let's go have lunch first. You can have a good rest when you come back in the afternoon."

"Or, if you are interested, you can go with me to see our research institute office and factory building."

After hesitating for a moment, Kuchma said:

"Let's have dinner first, and then we'll go to see the factory—do you charge rubles here?"

"No charge, but meals are free."

"Understood."

Another insidious way to buy people's hearts.

I'm afraid the meals they serve won't be too good either.

Thinking of his luxurious life in UKR, Kuchma couldn't help feeling sad.

However, his grief did not last long.

When he got to the cafeteria, he was shocked when he saw the variety of food.

How do you feel, this place is different from what you imagined? ?

He is considered an upper-level manager in Madacic, and he is very familiar with the operation of a company.

He also clearly understands a truth: whether a company or a factory can survive depends on their food.

After the poison pill project was launched, Madasic’s meals dropped again and again, and finally there were only the simplest bread and bacon, but here... everything!

"Are you sure it's free?"

"Of course, why not free? Free for everyone, including workers."

"Dongqi is a state-owned enterprise, and this is their benefit—well, even overtime work is paid."

"All right."

Kuchma replied in a low voice.

He began to sense that things were a little different.

And then, something that surprised him even more happened.

Several Chinese-faced engineers saw Lermontov, came over to say hello with a smile on their faces, and then naturally sat beside him, chatting with him in English without saying a word.

The content is very simple, nothing more than gradually hot weather, constant overtime work, a few days of vacation, and plans to see pandas

There was a very obvious harmony on everyone's face.

How can this be?

Don't they exclude Madasic's engineers?

Kuchma has always remained silent, and even if someone talks to him, he just perfunctory.

It wasn't until after the meal that he couldn't wait to ask:

"Who were those just now?"

"Ah? My colleagues, two of them are considered good friends. He invited me to eat hot pot at home on weekends. Do you know about hot pot? You can come too!"

"I won't go."

"Why don't you go? The friends here are very enthusiastic."

friend.

Kuchma silently pondered the meaning of this word, and he felt that a certain prejudice in his heart seemed to be subverted.

After lunch, Lermontov sent someone to send Kuchma's wife and children back to the dormitory, while he led Lermontov to the factory area.

After going through heavy access control, Kuchma, who was full of expectations, finally saw the factory area he was thinking about.

He always wanted this place to be dilapidated and old.

He hoped that the workers here would wear greasy overalls and carry notched wrenches and crowbars.

He wished the lights here were dim, and the air was rotten.

However, every time he passed through a gate, his hopes were shattered.

Until the end, when the spacious factory building appeared in front of him, something in his heart was completely shattered.

Clean, tidy, brand-new machine tools visible to the naked eye, screens and indicators full of technology, and workers whose expressions may be nervous, happy, or occasionally angry, but definitely full of vitality.

This is not the Huaxia factory in his mind at all.

Shouldn't such a scene appear in Lockheed Martin, General Motors, and Pratt \u0026 Whitney? ? ?

How would it appear here! ?

But Lermontov on the side didn't notice it at all.

He is also enthusiastically introducing the latest equipment.

".This is a machine tool just imported from Germany. It's really good. It took us two full months to fully understand it."

"It's very complicated. However, I heard that the Electromechanical Institute has already started imitating it. Maybe next year or the year after that, we will be able to use our own machine tools."

our own.

Kuchma followed Lermontov through the factory building blankly. After passing the last gate, a huge thing appeared in front of his eyes.

That's a huge gas turbine.

Through the thick observation window glass, Kuchma stared blankly at the unique pearl in the history of modern industry.

His expression was nothing but shock.

When did they actually create such a thing? ?

Lermontov also leaned in front of the glass and said proudly:

"That's what we've been doing for almost a year."

"AGT110."

"This is the most powerful gas turbine in the world, 110MW!"

"Lucky, there is another ignition experiment today, and it happens to be visible."

Just as he was speaking, on the test bench, the AGT110 burst into flames.
