403. Conspiracy
That alley was demolished later.
Long, narrow, with a slow curve, making people feel that it is slowly turning.
On both sides of the alley are walls built with uneven red bricks. There are no gaps or a layer of wall skin attached. There is a layer of cement under the ground.
The original floor of this alley was paved with bluestone slabs, which were polished by passers-by to see how people could see. Later, everyone dug bluestone slabs to build a house, and lay a layer of standing red bricks. Until now, the red bricks have been replaced by cement pavement.
The alley was not so narrow. As the population grew, the residents on both sides expanded their living area and occupied some streets from both sides. They expanded the old blue brick house with red bricks to the outside, and then turned the slightly wider, antique gray brick walls into their current appearance. But standing in the alley, you can still see the spire of the white tower in the North Sea in the distance.
Liu Wancheng stood in the alley and was silent for a long time before saying to Jacqueline: "Listen to my girl, I'm ready to accept you. But it's not now. You are free now and can still find your boyfriend freely until you graduate from college. If you can't forget me at that time, I'll be with you! If you like this, I will buy a courtyard house here. When you have the chance, I will come here to accompany you."
Jacqueline said with a disappointed look: "I still want to lie to me again just like when I was at home in New York!"
Liu Wancheng looked at her seriously and said, "This time it's true, I won't lie to you anymore."
Jacqueline looked at him carefully for a long time, then rushed over and hugged him tightly and said, "No matter how many years you want me to wait for you, I will wait. I will graduate from university with excellent grades and will not disappoint you!"
There would be people coming from the alley at any time. Liu Wancheng hurriedly pulled her out of his arms and said, "Now, you still have to be my daughter, and you are not allowed to do anything extreme, especially when you are guarding my wife and Xu Hui!"
Jacqueline looked at him and smiled, and said, "No problem, I will coax your ex-wife's brother as you ask."
Liu Wancheng said, "Since you can't like him, don't be too close to him, let alone give him any hope, so as not to harm him."
Jacqueline laughed and said, "He is very smart. He understands what I am thinking. He won't really chase me. He is just forced by you. He just shows you what he wants."
Liu Wancheng was stunned for a long time before saying, "Hey, this little bastard, you're slandering!"
Jacqueline asked, "Dad, what is erratic disobedience?"
Liu Wancheng said: "It's just a lip service...Hi, forget it. It's a hot day, why are we talking about this here? Go back quickly."
After the visa was approved, the four of them flew directly from the capital Zaporoje. When they arrived at the airport, there was naturally the one Liu Wancheng said. His friend Lao Ji brought people to greet him and took them to the office set up here in the Chinese city.
There is a dormitory in the office, and Lao Ji has already prepared it. Liu Wancheng and his wife have one room, Jacqueline and Xu Hui are all in the form of hotels. The decoration is pretty good, and there are hot and cold water.
The temperature here is significantly cooler than the capital. Without the scorching sun, the temperature at noon is only twenty-eight degrees, which is indeed a good place for vacation and travel.
Lao Ji suggested that they take a break first, and the jet lag was falling, and they would come out to have dinner in the evening, he would treat him to a Russian meal, and welcome them.
Tomorrow, a local young woman in the office acts as a tour guide and accompany them to go out for fun.
There are indeed many places to visit in this city. The hydropower station on the Dnieper River is very majestic. The river water flows through the dam, with a magnificent atmosphere and a charming scenery.
In addition, there are memorials of the Cossacks in the past on the island of Hezhong, which are left with castles and defensive weapons built in the past. This is the birthplace of the Cossacks and has a long history. At the same time, it is also a tragic history of the Ross people's resistance to foreign rule and aggression.
Kiev to the north is the birthplace of the Ross people. In the continuous struggle against foreign invasion, Greater Ross, Belarus, and today's Little Ross-Ukraine were found. They were originally the same nation...
Therefore, there is a long history and culture here, with museums everywhere, and many Orthodox churches. In addition, Zaporoze also has many huge statues of Lenin. If you want to appreciate the scenery of the Soviet era, this place is probably the most suitable place.
In the car back to the office, Lao Ji knew it carefully and told everyone about the history and landscape of the city. He did not finish the talk even when he arrived at the door of the office building.
In the evening, the chef in the office really made a Russian dinner. Only a dozen people from Lao Ji, a special department, participated in the dinner. Everyone had a meal together and got to know each other.
Lao Ji is a person who knows the inside story. He knows that Jacqueline is suspected of being a spy, so he will not take them to the restaurant outside to avoid the complexity of the scene and difficult to control, so that Jacqueline can send any information.
After dinner, Liu Wancheng naturally wanted to sit in Lao Ji's place, thanking him for his kind hospitality, while the others went back to their rooms.
Before Liu Wancheng and his party arrived, Lao Ji had already taken advantage of the opportunity to do other things and met with Guslav, the general manager of Masic, and told him intentionally or unintentionally that the boss of a domestic intelligent machine tool manufacturing company was going to bring his family to travel. If Guslav was interested in intelligent machine tools, he could introduce them to him.
Guslav was worried about improving efficiency, and of course he was interested in intelligent machine tools. But in his impression, China's machine tool manufacturing, at most, is the level of CNC multi-function machine tools, reaching the intelligence level, is purely bragging. Moreover, even CNC machine tools are low-end, with low processing accuracy and unstable processing, and often have problems. Therefore, he was not very interested in what Lao Ji said.
But Western developed countries have concerns about them and refuse to sell good machine tools to them. Maybe Lao Ji said that China's machine tool company has something he can use? Therefore, he still agreed to meet.
When Lao Ji and Liu Wancheng met alone in the evening, they talked about the work he had done in advance to Liu Wancheng.
Since receiving the mission from Zhou Tiemin, Liu Wancheng kept thinking about how to complete this mission? The country really lacks this engine technology! If you don’t have a fighter jet that competes with others, you can’t even defend your country’s national gates. What else can you mention?
Therefore, in his mind, this task is only allowed to succeed and not fail.
After hearing Lao Ji's words, Liu Wancheng said, "I can't take the initiative to meet this Guslav, it's better for him to come and see me."
Lao Ji was stunned when he heard this. Looking at Guslav's attitude, he could meet Liu Wancheng, even if he gave him face, he still wanted to come here in person?
Liu Wancheng saw Lao Ji's concerns and smiled and said, "There is a saying in China that it is not a business. You think, if I run to him to see him and sell my products to him, what impression will it give him? It seems that my machine tool cannot be sold, and I licked my face and begged him to buy it. In this way, he will not pay attention to my products. If we want him to change the machine tool with technology, it will become more difficult.
Another point is that the machine tool I will show him is the world's leading technology. This thing is definitely not available in other countries. With such advanced things, I went there and asked him to buy it. He would think, why am I?
When he is confused, if we ask about changing the technology, it will immediately arouse his alertness and will make it even less likely to succeed.”
Lao Ji looked at Liu Wancheng for a long time and said with a smile: "Oh, Boss Liu, no wonder Lao Zhou said that you were born to do this material. You are so thoughtful. The ability to figure out other people's thoughts is much better than my professional one."
Liu Wancheng smiled modestly and said, "Boss Ji, you are polite. I am considering the problem from the perspective of a businessman. It is not in line with your profession. That I am an outsider."
Lao Ji asked, "So, how can I get this Guslav to us?"
Liu Wancheng said: "If you want to catch a big fish, you need to have fragrant bait. I brought a set of internal machine tool information here. If you give it to him, he will definitely come here if he is an expert in machine-plus.
These materials are pictures of the machine tools we produce and the products we process, without technical parameters. But just by looking at it, he can understand what level our manufacturing technology has reached.
But you have to create an illusion for him, making him think that I am just coming to travel for the summer vacation and have no intention of selling machine tools. It was because of his friend that you asked me for a few photos.”
Lao Ji smiled and said, "I understand what you mean. I can do this, just wait for my good news."
Liu Wancheng continued: "But, the time to see him cannot be decided by him, but I have to decide. I will take my family out for a day tomorrow. If he wants to see me, he has to make an appointment in advance. Haste is not enough, so we have to stretch him and make him anxious." Thinking of it, he said, "Tell him that I have video materials about machine tools here, and you say that you have seen it. It is definitely a world-class technology, so you went to find him in person. As a friend, you don't want him to miss this rare opportunity."
Lao Ji thought about it and nodded and said, "I understand what you mean. You want me to sing a slander, you sing a slander."
Liu Wancheng smiled and said, "Boss Ji, I am used to being a boss in my own company. I like to take the initiative in my own hands and don't worry about other people's feelings when speaking. Don't mind?"
Lao Ji said: "You are just talking about this. It's all for the country. When we work together, we have to trust each other like our comrades and say everything. This is the rule." After a silence, he said, "But when I received the instructions from my superiors, to be honest, I have ideological concerns, because you are an outsider and do such a confidential thing. I'm afraid you will cause trouble, which will affect our international image. I know that I'm too worried about this conversation tonight. Lao Zhou has always been in a state of affairs and is mostly capable of strong soldiers. I feel relieved when we interact!"
From Lao Ji's words, Liu Wancheng also heard a kind of open and selfless feeling.
He was not polite just now. He was used to planning and strategizing. When he was discussing how to act with Lao Ji, he did not care about Lao Ji's ideas, but habitually followed his own ideas and was basically ordering others.
