Chapter 437 I Can't Resist
A major impact brought about by the disintegration of the Soviet Union is that the people of the former Soviet republics are emotionally moved, and the people of Russia are no exception.Before the disintegration of the Soviet Union, when people encountered anything, they would instinctively think of getting help from the state, ranging from natural and man-made disasters, to the inability to buy butter in the market, all things should be resolved by the state, and individuals should do it Yes, just complaining.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the country disappeared seemingly overnight.Indeed, the government still exists, but government officials are no longer doing their jobs. They would rather spend their time figuring out how to divide up state property.In the past, the state was all-encompassing and all-encompassing, but now, everything is pushed to the market. What you need, you can go to the market to buy it yourself.If you don't have the money, then sorry, the government doesn't have the money to help you either.

Under such circumstances, capable people began to seek to leave the country, and dozens of people from the Shark Design Institute alone had already left.Some of them were poached by the government departments of Western countries, and at the same time took away the confidential information of the former Soviet Union; some were hired by Western companies and became technical personnel in the companies.All these people who have left can get dozens of times their domestic salaries abroad. The most important thing is that what they get is a strong foreign exchange, not a sharply depreciating ruble.

Few people would regard going abroad to work as a shameful thing.In the past, everyone still talked about working for the Soviet Union at least verbally, and many people thought this way in their hearts.Today, the Soviet Union is gone, and Russia's new leaders believe in the "universal" dogma, and naturally they will not carry out any patriotic propaganda.Now that the country no longer needs everyone to contribute, then everyone should pursue their own happy life.

Liu Sha is also a person who holds this point of view. She is a housewife, and her youthful passion has long been overwhelmed by daily necessities.She is very envious of those female companions whose husbands go abroad to work, because these people can regularly receive dollars remitted from abroad, as well as a large number of imported exquisite goods.In today's Russia, the only belief in many people's hearts is the US dollar, and any country, nation, or Soviet is just a cloud.

Liusha also hinted at Tuchinov from the side, asking him to get in touch with overseas institutions. With his knowledge, it should not be a problem to get a good job abroad.But Tuchinov has an almost pedantic aloofness. He has been engaged in aircraft carriers for more than 30 years, and he has always regarded the United States and other Western countries as imaginary enemies.Now, let him bow his head to the former enemy and serve the former enemy, he is really ashamed to speak.

Now, an opportunity presents itself.The Chinese, and a former friend Liu Xianghai, extended an olive branch to Turchinov. Should he accept it?

"Teacher, do you think I can go to China?" Tuchinov asked Savyev.

Savyev nodded and said: "Tuchnov, before they went to the bar to find you, this Lin once said something to me. When they went to the bar, I kept thinking about what he said I think his words are justified. Indeed, a strong China is helpful to Russia.

At least in the next 20 years, China and Russia should be in a relationship of mutual help. If any party leaves the support of the other party, it may be eaten by the United States.Whatever unhappiness China and Russia once had, must now be abandoned.We have a common opponent, and that is the United States.An enemy's enemy is one's friend. This is an eternal principle. "

"So, you support me to work in China?" Tuchinov said.

Savyev said: "Go, go to China, is it better than going to the United States? Anyway, China is still a socialist country, and we are still serving socialism."

The concept of socialism has different meanings for different generations.Savyev belongs to the older generation and has the deepest affection for socialism. As long as possible, he still hopes that he or his students can continue to carry the banner of socialism.Tuchinov belongs to the middle-aged generation. He was educated in socialism since he was a child. He has been exposed to many western theories since he was an adult. He does not have any strong belief in the word socialism, but he still has some instinctive closeness in his heart.As for the younger generation in Russia, they have basically been completely Westernized, and they must call the United States. Talking about socialism in front of them may only provoke their ridicule.

Hearing Savyev's words, Tuchinov fell into deep thought.For him, it is not easy to make such a choice, he has to consider all aspects.

At this moment, there was another knock on the door. Liu Sha went to open the door and saw four or five Chinese young men standing at the door, each with a big bulging bag on their shoulders, sweating profusely from exhaustion.

"Andre, is this your subordinate?" Liu Sha turned her head and asked Liu Xianghai.

Before Liu Xianghai could answer, Lin Zhenhua stood up first, and said with a smile, "I called them here. Xiao Ke, let the comrades bring the things in."

Ke Yungen agreed, and directed his soldiers to bring all the big bags into the house, and piled them up in the center of the living room, like a hill.After putting down their things, the guards retreated quietly, not daring to disturb the conversation of the group of people in the room.

"Come on, Mrs. Tuchinov, please help me out, let's eat and talk while eating," Lin Zhenhua greeted.

Liu Sha stepped forward and helped Lin Zhenhua open a pocket.As soon as the pocket was opened, her eyes lit up.In that huge pocket, it was filled with ham, butter, cheese, sugar, wine and other items. The quantity and grade were so high that Liusha hadn't seen it for a long time.Even before the disintegration of the Soviet Union, although her family was relatively wealthy financially, it was not easy to buy so many good things at once.

"Let's take these things out for dinner. This bag is for Mr. Savyev. These two bags are yours, Mrs. Tuchinov. I will deliver them to your home later." Lin Zhenhua pointed to those bags and arranged them opened.

"That's impossible. This big bag of food would probably cost hundreds of thousands of rubles in the market, right? How could we accept such expensive things from you?" Liu Sha refused insincerely.In fact, her heart had already blossomed with joy, clutching the two pockets that Lin Zhenhua had just allocated to her, and refused to let go of them.

Liu Xianghai said: "Liu Sha, this is our wish, so you can accept it. I heard that your family has been quite nervous recently, and the children probably haven't had a good meal for a long time, right? By the way, Let someone send some food to Sergey's house later, isn't the situation in his house not too good?"

"Well, how many families are living well now, it's all because of the damn prices. Andre, you also know that the children eat a lot, and they are in love, and sometimes If you want to bring a girl to the house, you don’t have anything to eat, and it’s really not a good look. You know how snobbish girls are nowadays..." Liusha chattered, and at the same time glanced at Tuchinov, and waited. Let him speak.

Tuchinov looked at Liusha with a slight embarrassment on his face.As a man, it is really a shameful thing for his wife and children to have enough food and clothing.Although he has his own beliefs, he is still an ordinary man who cannot refuse the fireworks in the world.

As Liu Sha said, the children in the family have grown up and are at the age of marriage. Nowadays, young people have to pay attention to ostentation when they get married. With his current income, how can he afford enough money? What about pomp?Liu Xianghai promised him a salary of US$5 to US$10 a year. He knew he was worth the price, and Liu Xianghai would not break his promise.If they can earn such a high salary, the children can be as beautiful as the rich second generation on the street, right?
But, in this case, how could he speak to Liu Xianghai?

"Tuchnov, you go, go to China. Anyway, at least you can get some money for the family and improve your life." Savyev saw Turchinov's thoughts and directly helped him Picked it up.

Liu Xianghai said: "Tuchnov, if you agree to go to China, you don't have to worry about the economy. In addition, Liu Sha can go with you, we will arrange a villa for you, and we will provide you with Equipped with service personnel and security personnel to take care of your life."

"Also, the apartment for foreign experts that Dean Liu and the others are going to build is near the seaside." Lin Zhenhua said with a smile, "That place is called Weihai, in Shandong Province of China, and it is a picturesque place. There is a wide beach when you go out, and you two can lie on the beach and sunbathe throughout the summer."

"Ivan..." Liusha softly called Tuchinov's name, she could no longer resist the beautiful scene that Lin Zhenhua described to her.

The yearning of Russians for the sea can be said to be unparalleled. Every summer, countless Russians flock to the shore of the Black Sea to enjoy the sea water and sunshine there.China's beaches face the Pacific Ocean, and the feeling of vastness is not comparable to that of the Black Sea.After entering the 21st century, due to the recovery of the Russian economy, more and more Russians come to China to enjoy the beach. Among these people, the rich go to Sanya, and the poorer stay in Nandaihe, Beidaihe and other places. It's been a few months, and I feel a little bit reluctant to leave.

Before this trip, Lin Zhenhua talked with Liu Xianghai about building an apartment for foreign experts, and specifically suggested building the apartment in Weihai.Weihai itself has a naval base, land and beach are ready-made.This place has beautiful scenery and a very comfortable climate. For Russians who live in the cold zone all year round, it is definitely a good place with a burst of charm.

Tuchinov smiled helplessly, and said to Liu Xianghai: "Andrei, your arrangement is so perfect that I can't refuse it at all. You have also seen that Liusha's heart has already flown to China gone."

"Tuchnov, you don't need to have any psychological burden. If you still can't make up your mind now, I can personally invite you and Liusha, by the way, and Teacher Savyev and his wife, to come together. Go to China to live for a while and have a good rest. If you have any specific ideas, we can communicate after we get there. At that time, if you are interested in participating in our work, we welcome it very much. If you feel that you are not interested, We won't force you either." Liu Xianghai said sincerely.

"No, I have already decided to go to China with you." Tuchinov said firmly.
