Rebirth of the Auto Giant

Wang Shi took two bodyguards, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu, along with Sovlevsky and two bodyguards, all the way west to Kiev, Ukraine.

Ukraine, now known as the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic.

In 1922, the Eastern Soviet Union was established, and Ukraine joined the Union and became one of the founding countries of the Soviet Union (Western Ukraine joined in 1939).

On August 24, 1991, the Ukrainian government issued a declaration of national independence, officially declaring independence from the Soviet Union and changing the country's name to Ukraine.

Ukraine is located in eastern Europe, bordering Russia to the east, the Black Sea to the south, and Belarus to the north. Ukraine has an important geographical location and is the intersection of geopolitics between the European Union and the CIS, especially with Russia.

Ukraine is the third largest grain exporter in the world and is known as the "Granary of Europe". Its agricultural output accounts for 20% of its GDP. Ukraine's industry and agriculture are relatively developed, heavy industry occupies a major position in industry, and the aircraft manufacturing industry is developed.

The Antonov Design Bureau, Motor Sich Company, and the giant surface ship manufacturing industry are also very developed, including the Black Sea Shipyard. Later, our first aircraft carrier Shandong Ship Varyag was built in the Black Sea Shipyard.

Last year, on April 26, 1986, a serious core meltdown and radiation leak occurred at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine, causing serious consequences.

"Why did you forget this?" Wang Shi felt nervous after hearing Sovlevsky's explanation. Now the sky is full of nuclear radiation dust, maybe...

Thinking of this, Wang Shi grabbed his hair hard and saw that fortunately, there was no hair loss.

"Haha, Wang Shi, don't worry, Chernobyl is far away from here, everything will be fine." Seeing Wang Shi nervously grabbing his hair to check, Sovlevsky smiled and said comfortingly.

Before departure, Sovlevsky had already spoken on the phone with his friend here, a native Ukrainian named Rokov Kliev Ivanov.

The convoy drove directly to the other party's house.

The courtyard is very large and has a classical formula building layout.

A strong young man in his thirties with yellow hair on his face stood outside the gate. When he saw Sovlevsky walking out of the car, he walked up and the two hugged each other. Sovlevsky looked at

Wang Shi walked out of the car behind and introduced to Wang Shi: "This is my friend Rokov Kliliv Ivanov."

Soviet names generally consist of three parts. The first part is the person's name, the middle part is the father's name, and the last part is the surname. After marriage, a woman will change her husband's surname to her husband's surname.

Generally, the surname is spoken orally, or only the first name is used. To show politeness and respect, the first name and father's name are used.

In formal situations or when introducing someone to a stranger, to show respect, use your full name.

"Hello, Rokov Kliliv Ivanov." Wang Shi said.

The other party did not speak Chinese, so Sovlevsky acted as a translator.

"You can just call him Rokov," Sovlevsky said.

After the two sides greeted each other, Rokov invited everyone to his home.

Ukrainians are very hospitable. When guests come to their home, family members come over to say hello.

Wang Shi also brought some products this time, including two boxes of 1983 Moutai and a box of chili sauce.

"Thank you, Wang Shi." The other party said excitedly when he saw the best-selling chili sauce and two bottles of white wine on the market.

After Sovlevsky's introduction, Rokov became even more excited when he learned that Maotai was the best liquor in China.

Everyone in the Soviet Union loves wine, and everyone on earth knows it.

Sovlevsky acted as translator.

Rokov knew that Sovlevsky had a Chinese friend, and his goods were brought back by this Chinese friend on a wagon.

Sovlevsky's goods are now selling very well in the Soviet Union, and the profit is higher than his profit from making arms. Now that Rokov sees Wang Shi, he also intends to make friends. If he can speak Chinese like Sovlevsky,

He had already gone to China a long time ago, and now he has made friends with Wang Shi, and Rokov also has this idea.

Wang Shi couldn't understand what he was telling Sovlevsky.

"Just now Rokov said that he also wants to do business with your country in the future. I gave up the Ukrainian market. He wants you to help import ten truckloads of goods," Sovlevsky said.

"No problem, we are all friends, and we should help each other." Wang Shi said the word "mutual" for a long time.

Wang Shi knew that the next poaching operation would require the other party to act as an intermediary. Now that he heard the other party's request, he readily agreed on the spot.

I'm afraid you didn't ask for it.

"I'm very happy to meet you, Wang Shi. You are a cheerful person. If I can help you with anything in the future, just ask." Rokov heard Sovlevsky's words and knew that Wang Shi had agreed.

Also happy.

Now the family's business is very simple, only the arms business, and the arms business is extremely risky. Unlike Sovlevsky's business, there is no killing and no risk. As long as there is goods, you can wait at home to collect the money.

In the past, he had no supply of goods, but now with Wang Shi as a supplier, he can do it.

Finally, Wang Shi introduced Li Chengru to Luokov and said that in the future, he could contact Li Chengru to purchase goods, and he would handle the carriage matters himself.

Sovlevsky told Rokov that he had learned that Wang Shi had a special status in China and could get as many wagons as he wanted, and that Li Chengru was a local snake in Beijing. He had many wholesale channels and was a very good partner.

Everyone had a great time talking.

Due to the shortage of light industry in Ukraine, daily necessities such as towels, soaps, liquor, chili sauce, pots and pans are very popular in Ukraine and are priceless.

Now that Wang Shi and Li Chengru have this relationship, only the Rokov family will monopolize this business in the future.

Finally, Rokov, who was very happy, took Wang Shi and his party to the shooting range. There were light and heavy weapons from all over the world. Wang Shi got addicted and finally gave Zhang Long and Zhao Hu two valuable guns.

"I heard that you Chinese like to eat bear paws very much. I specially prepared a few for you. Let's roast them and drink some wine." After the group came out, they saw Rokov pointing at the servants on the lawn in the yard.

Said the busy barbecue grill.

Wang Shi and Li Chengru came to the table and saw that the four bear paws had just been slaughtered and were still warm to the touch. They looked at each other.

How long does it take to roast bear paws?

Wang Shi knew that Lao Mao was the nemesis of bears, and hunting was not prohibited here. Killing a few bear paws was common.

Bear paws are just like that, they taste a bit like cow tongue.

After drinking two bottles of 1983 Moutai, everyone was getting drunk.

Sovlevsky began to tell Rokov the purpose of Wang Shi's arrival.

"It's easy to say that we are lacking everything here, including aircraft technical personnel. I will gradually help you specialize the talents. Then I will work with Sovlevsky to transport them to your side secretly." Luo

Koff said, patting his chest.

Wang Shi also reminded him, hoping not to cause trouble to the other party's family. The other party promised that he knew what to do and no one would cause trouble.

"Li Chengru, from now on you will get your goods from me. The leather here is world-famous and we guarantee your satisfaction." Rokov then exchanged details with Li Chengru about the purchase details.

In the next few nights, Rokov arranged for Wang Shi to meet with many experts from Antonov Design Bureau and Motor Sich Company.

There are experts in aircraft design and experts in engine materials.

Life is not easy for everyone here now.

As the internal conflicts in the Soviet Union continued to intensify, and there were challenges from several Western aircraft manufacturing companies, the Antonov Design Bureau and Motorsich Company's market share in the world became less and less.

Even though they are famous, some of them cannot even guarantee the livelihood of their families.

Wang Shi verbally agreed to the deal with three aero-engine material experts and aircraft design experts in person.

Wang Shi promised the other party a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan, 120 square meters of housing for talents, and education for his children.

As for how to get there, Rokov and Sovlevsky are responsible for this.
