Material Empire

The old couple of the Wang family were worrying about gains and losses at home. Wang Zheyi and Qin Hai had already walked out of the family courtyard side by side and came to the street outside. Along the way, the two of them seemed to have a tacit understanding, they didn't speak, they just walked quietly with their heads down, feeling a strange feeling in their hearts.

"Okay, you can send it here, my car is waiting there." Qin Hai pointed to a car not far in front, and said to Wang Zheyi.

"Well, then be careful on the road." Wang Zheyi said.

"Thank you for today's matter." Qin Hai said.

Wang Zheyi smiled slightly and said, "Do we still need to say thank you?"

"This..." Qin Hai didn't know what to say. In fact, he didn't have many opportunities to meet Wang Zheyi, but from the first meeting, there was a feeling of sympathy. Wang Zheyi has a very reserved enthusiasm and is not good at lying, while Qin Hai is also a straightforward person. When the two of them stay together, they can say anything, and there is no need to say anything, because their hearts are connected.

This time, Wang Zheyi invited Qin Hai to his home, which essentially created an opportunity for him to meet and communicate with his father. Wang Hongsheng's status as the deputy director of the planning committee is undoubtedly very helpful for Qin Hai's career development. helpful. In this sense, Qin Hai should thank Wang Zheyi, but Wang Zheyi is right, do they need to say "thank you"? In other words, for Wang Zheyi helping Qin Hai in this way, is he trying to thank him?

"Okay, don't pretend to be moved." Wang Zheyi felt Qin Hai's emotional fluctuations, she deliberately put her face on the floor, and said something unsightly: "If you are really sorry, just invite me to eat Dong Lai Shun another day. "

"Wait until I come back from the Soviet Union." Qin Hai said. About going to the Soviet Union, he had already told Wang Zheyi that if he wanted to invite Wang Zheyi to dinner again, he would have time only after he came back from the Soviet Union.

"I really want to go and have a look with you." Wang Zheyi said in an inaudible voice, and before Qin Hai could reply, she quickly changed her words and said, "Forget it, I'm just saying, you don't even have your little lover." If you are willing to take it, you won’t take me with you.”

"I don't have any little lover..." Qin Hai retorted awkwardly. He knew that Wang Zheyi was referring to Tranquility. As the little girl grew up, her affection for Qin Hai became more and more obvious. How could Wang Zheyi not see it. Regarding this matter, Wang Zheyi had joked with Qin Hai several times, but every time he joked, the sourness in Wang Zheyi's tone made Qin Hai feel helpless.

"You don't admit it, but every time she sees me, it's like seeing a rival in love... How wronged I am, just like what Qingwen said, I have taken a false name in vain." Wang Zheyi said pretending to be innocent .

"Zhe Yi..." Qin Hai's heart skipped a beat, "Actually..."

Actually what? After Qin Hai said these two words, he didn't know how to continue. At the beginning of his contact with Wang Zheyi, he felt that the age difference between the two parties was an obstacle, so he never dared to think about the relationship between the two in a deeper direction. He felt that Wang Zheyi also had some concerns about this, which made the two of them always feel a little inseparable and tacit when they were together.

What Wen Jinghong said to Qin Hai just now, Qin Hai can somewhat understand some meaning, that is, Wen Jinghong is not optimistic about the relationship between the two of them, that's why she said please Qin Hai in front of Qin Hai Introduce the subject to Wang Zheyi. Qin Hai questioned himself, and also felt that there was an insurmountable gap between him and Wang Zheyi. It didn't matter to be an ordinary friend, but to further develop, he had to face many realistic things.

Maybe it was the special atmosphere today, maybe it was the melancholy about going away, Qin Hai suddenly had an urge to say something to Wang Zheyi.

"Don't explain." Wang Zheyi stretched out a finger, stopping Qin Hai's words. She stepped forward, stood on tiptoe, helped Qin Hai tuck his collar, then looked at Qin Hai's face, and said, "I know, she is more suitable for you than me...The Soviet Union is going to winter soon, and the weather is very cold." It's cold, you need to bring more clothes."

After saying this, she turned around and hurried away with small steps until she entered the family courtyard without turning her head again.

"Alas..." Qin Hai looked at Wang Zheyi's back and sighed softly.

In the next ten days or so, Qin Hai began to rush to various departments, arranging to go to the Soviet Union. At this time, although non-governmental organizations did not feel it, some key departments of the country have actually paid attention to the changes in the Soviet Union, and are also considering mining technology and talents from the Soviet Union. The ubiquitous "relevant departments" are not as obtuse and pedantic as the outside world says. Facing a huge empire that is about to collapse, the relevant departments will never remain indifferent.

"My name is Xiao Weihao, and I work for the National Machinery and Electronics Import and Export Corporation; this is my colleague, Liu Hang, you can call him Liu Chu."

In an unremarkable small building beside the North Third Ring Road, Qin Hai saw two middle-aged men. He was told that these two people would go to the Soviet Union with him, and they would provide him with some help. Of course, he had to provide some help to the two when necessary.

The man who introduced himself to Qin Hai was chubby, wearing a bloated down sweater, and looked like an uncle buyer. However, behind his lazy expression, Qin Hai could still feel a faint murderous aura, letting people know that this person was not an ordinary person.

The man named Liu Hang was just the opposite. He had a well-proportioned figure, a bit of an athlete, and a serious expression on his face. It's a pity that it is precisely this serious expression that reveals his lack of emotional intelligence. This is clearly a technical nerd who doesn't know how to play tricks.

"Then I should call you Xiao Chu, or Xiao Ju?" Qin Hai asked Xiao Weihao. Since Xiao Weihao said that Liu Duo is his colleague, not his leader, it means that Xiao Weihao's own rank will not be lower than Liu Hang's. If everyone is going on a business trip together in the future, Qin Hai thinks it's better to ask about their identities first.

"If you like, you can call me Xiao Chu. In fact, you don't have to be so polite, you can just call me Lao Xiao." Xiao Weihao replied with a smile.

"Well, then I'll call you Xiao Chu first." Qin Hai said, "Xiao Chu, I don't know what specific tasks you two have to go to the Soviet Union? Shall we communicate first so that we can arrange our itinerary after we arrive in the Soviet Union. "

Xiao Weihao pointed to Liu Hang with his finger, and said: "I don't have any tasks. Liu Chu has some friends in the Soviet Union and needs to visit them. I have nothing to do. I will accompany Liu Chu for a trip to open my eyes."

"Since the superior arranged for us to go to the Soviet Union with Mr. Qin, I think it's better to explain some things to Mr. Qin first." Liu Hang said in a calm voice, "I heard that Mr. Qin plans to go to the Chita area. Some of the people I want to visit People are in the Chita Aviation Industry Complex. How to contact them will have to wait until there. The identities of these people are relatively sensitive. We should not contact them with great fanfare. It is best to know their residence in private first. , and then go to contact them in a private capacity."

"What do you mean by sensitive identity?" Qin Hai asked.

Liu Hang looked at Xiao Weihao, Xiao Weihao smiled and said, "Isn't that simple? These people are all well-known military experts in the Soviet Union. You know about military affairs..."

"I understand." Qin Hai nodded and stopped asking. In fact, when he heard that Xiao Weihao and Liu Hang were going to the Soviet Union with him, he could already guess the identities of these two. If they were indeed officials of an electromechanical import and export company, how could they choose to meet him in such a small building with no sign at the door.

Obviously, the other party took a fancy to his civil status, so he planned to infiltrate his delegation incognito and go to the Soviet Union to do some business related to national defense and security. Judging from the reactions of these two people, Liu Hang should be a technical cadre of the Science and Industry Commission system, and Xiao Weihao, who looks harmless to humans and animals, should be a member of the security department.

"Don't worry, we won't cause you any trouble." Xiao Weihao patted Qin Hai on the shoulder and said in relief, "After we arrive in the Soviet Union, we will have our own channels to do things, but we just need to borrow your banner That's all. Then again, we won't borrow your banner in vain, if you encounter any troubles in the Soviet Union, we still have a way to help you solve it."

"Then I will thank Xiao Chu and Liu Chu in advance." Qin Hai replied neither humble nor overbearing. We are not familiar with each other, so there is no need to say too much.

After getting in touch with Xiao and Liu, Qin Hai went to go through other procedures, which suddenly became faster. He knew that someone must have said hello among them, so the various departments gave him the green light. Thinking of this, he felt clear about accepting Xiao and Liu. He had big plans for going to the Soviet Union. In addition to poaching talents, he also wanted to get a batch of equipment and materials. With Xiao and Liu as the backing, it will be much more convenient to bring these things back to China.

During Qin Hai’s trip to the Soviet Union, the main part of the team were experts from Huaqing University and the Chemical Engineering Design Institute. Several of them had the experience of staying in the Soviet Union, and some worked with Soviet experts in the 1950s. These people have a high level of Russian and can completely replace translators. The only people Qin Hai took with him were Heizi who had just rushed over from Jintang, followed by Xiao Weihao and Liu Hang who were under the banner of the Electromechanical Import and Export Corporation. Regarding the identities of these two people, Qin Hai only told Heizi, but did not tell those experts. He was really afraid that the old gentlemen would be loose and say something that should not be said.

After everything was packed, the group boarded the train and left the capital, starting their trip to the Soviet Union.
