Li He drove to Ukraine with Ding Shiping and the rest. Needless to say, Liu Baoyong and the rest followed.
The first thing they did when they arrived was to spend ten thousand US dollars to empty the Ukrainian Tool Research Institute, Ukrainian Academy of Sciences Super Hard Material Research Institute, and the Vilnius drill factory.
The first battle was done beautifully!
Zhang Wenyu made a bold declaration on the spot: China's metal cutting technology had entered the international advanced level.
What Li He did not expect was that his trip to Ukraine had caused quite a commotion. Groups of people came from all over the country. There were groups of people from state-owned enterprises, private enterprises, and collective enterprises. There were no less than a hundred of them.
This did not include Master Dao, who was secretly working alone.
These people gathered around the Kiev International Hotel that Li He was staying at.
They were not blind. Those who had some connections knew that Eastern Europe was a treasure land. The people who went earlier had brought ships of equipment back to China!
The most important thing was that there was a tycoon named Li He here. He was a rich man!
It was difficult for Li He to keep a low profile now! He waved his hand like this. The light of a rich man with tens of millions of US dollars could not be hidden!
Everyone knew that there would be benefits if they followed Boss Li!
With benefits, who wouldn't want to come forward?
Li He could not stay quiet. There were so many big shots, and they came for him. He naturally had to come out and invite them one by one. Today, it was the Minister of Metallurgy. Tomorrow, it might be the Minister of Electronics. The day after that, it might be the Secretary of the Coal Mining Company. There were seven ministers and deputy ministers. Anyway, there were all kinds of people.
You're just a coal seller. What are you doing here?
Li He could not understand what was going on!
But most of the people came in the name of visiting. They just had a symbolic meeting with the Ukrainian officials and did not stay for long. The ones who did the work were the companies that followed them.
Those with a higher status would tell him, Little Li, young people have a bright future. I believe in you. Don't be afraid. Listen to my commands and win!
Those with a lower status would tell him, Brother Li, I will follow you in the future. If there is anything, just say the word. Fight wherever you point! I can be a strong pillar of support for you and contribute to your career!
There were also some people who were too embarrassed to hug Li He's thigh directly. Every now and then, they would treat Li He to a meal. There was only one meaning to it. This brother was still very powerful in the country. His father was first, and they were second. Take care of me while I'm overseas today, and I'll take care of you when I return tomorrow.
Li He drank a little every day and drank a lot every three days, so he was a little tired.
He could only blame himself. He had brought this upon himself. He had caused such a huge commotion that it had even spread back to the country. But then again, he really couldn't suppress this kind of thing. Anyway, he was now famous. Even Zhang Peilin of the Pujiang Construction Engineering Group secretly expressed through Yu Dehua that he wanted to come over and join in.
He told Liu Baoyong, "Sigh, I'm really tired."
Liu Baoyong said, "Don't take it for granted. Do you know how many people dream of having such an official statement? You're still not satisfied. "
"Be content, be content." Li He thought about it and realized that it was true. Every country's big shots would be followed by a group of business delegations, and there would be special investment promotion activities.
Everyone understood the logic of having meat to eat with the big shots.
Ukraine's people had a tough winter this year. Other than a few international hotels and important enterprises, there was no heating. The Soviet Union had raised the price of natural gas for the countries that joined in, and they were still arguing. If they did not raise the price, Ukraine would not have the money to pay them, let alone raise the price. It was impossible to count on the companies and citizens.
After New Year's Day, Pan Song and the rest rushed to Kiev from Moscow.
Li He gave him a hug. "It's been hard on you."
"You're finally here." Pan Song smiled. He was a little excited.
Li He looked at his beard that was covered in ice and asked, "It's cold outside, right?"
"I'm fine." Pan Song brushed off the ice on his beard.
"Do as the Romans do?"
"Sigh, my beard is not good. Asians don't have much body hair. It was not easy for me to grow it for so many years." Pan Song laughed. "But at least it's useful. I often pretend to be from Central Asia. If I don't say anything, no one will know that I am from China."
"How's the situation in Moscow?" Li He asked excitedly. That was the key point!
Pan Song shook his head and said, "It's not as chaotic as here, but it's almost there. But it's still tightly controlled."
Ding Shiping came in and said, "Let's go for a drink. The food is ready."
This time, everyone tried to drink vodka, but Li He could not drink it. He only drank one glass and felt his throat burning.
Pan Song, Ding Shiping, Lan Shifang, and the rest were used to it and drank it sweetly.
Li He said, "Old Pan, Old Ding, Old Lan, you all have not returned to China for a few years, right? I will allow you all to go back this year. Go home and see your children. Pan Song, your daughter is already in primary school. If you don't go back now, I won't recognize you."
Pan Song smiled bitterly. "Didn't you say that it's only a year? It's fine to wait for a year. Furthermore, we can contact them through the phone. It's fine for them to stay at home. It's a critical time now. The people we found are not honest people. I still have to watch over them. "
Ding Shiping saw Li He looking at him and smiled. "I have no problem. My son is already in secondary school. I don't have to worry about him."
Li He smiled and asked, "Sister-in-law doesn't have any complaints?"
Ding Shiping said matter-of-factly, "I'm working for them. What else can they do? It's fine."
He remembered Li He's promise to them. He said that he would give each of them a career when they returned to China. Although he did not know what career it was, he knew that with Li He's background and character, it would definitely not be bad. At that time, returning home would be called returning home in glory and glory. But now, going back home would be like going back in the middle of nowhere.
"Me?" Lan Shifang raised her glass at Li He. "I have no problem either. My child did well and got into a high school in the city. My youngest daughter is also obedient and has a solid foundation in her studies. I got my wife to buy a house in the city. Now, our family is all city people. I wake up laughing even in my dreams. If she dares to complain, I'll embarrass her when I get home. "
Hearing this, everyone could not help but laugh. Although it was a little vulgar and masculine, everyone could hear the heavy sense of responsibility and deep feelings of a man.
Li He called He Fang and told her that he would not be able to return for the New Year.
He Fang was silent on the phone for a while. Then, she said, "It's fine. Just take care of yourself. I'll be fine with the child. My mother and brother are all here. I won't be lonely during the New Year. "
"That's good."
"The day before yesterday, I sent some money and some things to your mother. These things are not available in my hometown. She even called back and said that she had received them. She misses Li Lan very much and wants us to bring him back for her to see. "
"Then call her back and tell her clearly. Don't tell her that I'm overseas so that she won't worry. Just tell her that I'm busy with work." Li He could not call back to his hometown. He could only let He Fang relay the message.
As the New Year approached, his activities had basically stopped. Every day, he would hide in the hotel that had heating. It was too cold outside, and he did not want to go out at all.
On the top floor of the hotel, there were all kinds of activities every day. Beautiful women danced to their heart's content. Their expressions were full of affection, and they were charming to the bone.
The girls in Ukraine were as beautiful as water!
A small number of brave Chinese had already started a business here. All they needed was an ordinary down jacket or a small amount of money to win the heart of a girl. It was really a befuddled life.
Most of them were like Li He, who could hold their bottom line. Other than work, they only ate and slept.
There were also people who often encouraged Li He to have fun, and they even sent them directly to his room.
He had been a monk for so long, and his heart had long been itching. However, he had the heart, but he did not have the guts. There were so many Chinese watching here. If his wife heard about it when he returned to China …
With such a bold assumption and careful verification, according to He Fang's temper, his third leg would not be able to walk upright.
Therefore, he often had a complicated thought struggle between being a beast or being worse than a beast.
This was a very deep philosophical proposition.
When Li He heard that the largest automobile factory in Ukraine had stopped working, he couldn't wait to bring Tie Hefei and the others to the place. He had no ability to touch this automobile factory. The famous enterprises here had long been nailed down. He could only drink the soup. Therefore, he was only interested in the few chief engineers who had just retired.
When these old engineers saw the canned beef, canned pork, and flour that Li He sent over, they were so excited that tears streamed down their faces. They repeatedly expressed that science had no boundaries, and they were willing to go to the great socialist China to continue to play their part.
Li He was afraid that a long delay would bring trouble, so he personally arranged for people to go to the embassy to apply for visas for their entire family. Then he let them board the plane to China with the returning staff.
When they passed by a university, Li He couldn't help but glance at it.
Ding Shiping stopped the car. Li He got out of the car, and in the cold winter, he spat out large mouthfuls of white air.
Tie Hefei said, "This is the Kiev Polytechnic University." “
"I know."
Li He wanted to go in alone, and did not allow others to follow.
The more he walked in, the worse his heart felt. Tears flowed down, but they immediately stopped. He used his hand to wipe his eyes, but felt a stinging pain on his face. It turned out that the tears on his face had frozen into ice, and it was difficult for him to open his eyes.
He could not see the road clearly, and groped his way back, and suddenly slipped on the ground.
Tie Hefei and the others hurriedly helped him into the car, and turned on the heater.
"Mr. Li, are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Li He raised his head, not knowing why he suddenly felt so uncomfortable.
