There are many depressing things that can be said to be the consequences of long-term backward intelligence work.

In the late 1980s, the so-called Westernization trend in China continued to rise, and all theories that domestic technology and technology were garbage were everywhere. A shipbuilding factory in Shanghai carried out "neighborly friendship" with Japan, and gave the intensive digital welding system developed after years of hard work to Japan for free.

This system was designed by Chinese scientists in the early 1960s under secret conditions using early Soviet electronic machine tools. It can be said that it was the most advanced equipment in Asia in the 1980s.

However, under the "highly responsible examination" of Japanese experts, they were ordered to dismiss. The following year, China and Japan signed the import of large-scale Japanese welding systems, which cost about 300 million US dollars, but there was no transaction.

It was not until three years later that through exchanges and cooperation with a French company that Chinese talents woke up from their dreams. At that time, 80% of the technology was introduced by France's electronic CNC equipment worth 1.2 billion US dollars, and 80% of the technology was examined by Japan's "friendly experts" in the mid-1980s.

Another very famous example is the manufacturing process of Chinese rice paper.

Rice paper, which has a history of more than a thousand years, is an enduring artistic treasure in the Chinese art world. Chinese calligraphy and painting cannot express the wonderful taste of art without it.

From around the mid-to-late 19th century to the present, intelligence personnel from some countries, especially economic intelligence personnel, have successively visited the origin of my country's rice paper, and tried every means to collect information on my country's rice paper production skills. They imitate rice paper to achieve the goal of obtaining high economic benefits.

Foreigners continue to explore the production technology of rice paper. According to the "History of Chinese Rice Paper", there are cases to be found, and there are several times when they are found in written historical materials. Bai En, a British man, made the first case of stealing the secrets of rice paper. He went to Jingxian to investigate the production process of rice paper, and submitted the ingredients method and the entire production process as confidential information on scientific and technological information to the General Taxation Department Hurd.

In the ninth year of Guangxu, a Japanese man named Mu Chiyuan Chen Zheng once disguised himself as a disguise and sneaked into Jingxian County to explore the skills of rice paper making. After returning to China, he wrote the "Diary of Papermaking and Retrieval in the Qing Dynasty".

At the beginning of this century, there was a Japanese named Uchiyama Yasudomen. He was in Nanjing at that time, close to the various paper-producing areas in Anhui. He went deep into paper-producing areas many times, especially Xiaoling, the origin of the rice paper in Jingxian County, to steal information on the production of rice paper. After returning to China, he wrote an article titled "China Papermaking Law", which made more detailed accounts of the origin of rice paper, paper-making water, rice paper, and the use of rice paper.

Subsequently, someone from Japan came to Jingxian and tried his best to make some green sandalwood branches at the place of rice paper in Jingxian County. He asked the professor of the Plant Department to identify it. However, because Japan did not produce this tree, he could not identify what kind of the branch was, so he had to stop.

After the Lugou Bridge Incident in 1937, Japan took advantage of the opportunity of invading China and sent spies to southern Anhui many times to collect some seeds from Jingxian. It was transported back to Japan to carefully plant, but due to the different climate, soil and other conditions, the quality of the sandalwood grown was of poor quality and could not be used to make high-quality rice paper, which was poor ink moisturizing.

After the founding of New China until the 1970s, due to well-known reasons, outsiders were unable to enter the rice paper production areas to steal rice paper skills. The relevant countries could only purchase Chinese rice paper in mainland my country and Hong Kong and other places, and then used modern scientific methods to test the various ingredients contained in rice paper. Many companies competed to copy it, but they were never able to do the trick.

By the end of the 1970s, with the frequent exchanges between China and foreign countries, in order to produce real rice paper, some countries increased their efforts to collect rice paper information, and used various methods to obtain relevant information and materials. Not only that, they also deliberately tried to go deep into the rice paper production areas to obtain first-hand information directly. For example, Japan sent a "paper industry inspection team" to visit relevant manufacturers in Jingxian, Anhui Province in 1986. Some of them "led" some production materials, brought them back to China for repeated research, and used various ingredients to make real rice paper.

Fortunately, the rice paper produced by foreigners cannot be comparable to Chinese rice paper, and at best it can only be imitated. Rice paper needs to be produced in a specific climate to achieve the best quality. Its production requires water resources and other resources with specific substance content. Only when these specific resource conditions are fully met can the quality of rice paper products be achieved at the best, while the production of rice paper requires specialized workers who have mastered specific skills to operate.

In the rice paper production process, most operations can only be understood but not expressed in words. They are passed down by hand and mouth, which is impossible for foreigners to steal. The technical barrier is the subtlety of manual operation.

If this were not the case, the status of rice paper would have long been replaced by Japanese imitations, just like Chinese porcelain.

Just as Fan Wubing packed up his things, greeted Putin again, and was about to leave, Shen Ying suddenly put down the company's affairs and ran over.

After more than ten days of separation, the couple naturally felt very intimate when they met.

At the end, Shen Ying held Fan Wubing in the bed, rubbing his furry hair on his chest while discussing things with him, such as the company's operational situation and future development.

"By the way, how about bringing my sister with you when you go to Russia this time?" Shen Ying suddenly made a request.

"Your sister? Luo Lin?" Fan Wubing was very surprised and didn't understand Shen Ying's intention for a moment.

Recently, Shen Ying's mother has known Luo Lin's existence, so she naturally had a big fight with Shen Peiming. However, because Shen Ying is more sympathetic to Luo Lin's life experience. Moreover, the two get along well, Shen's mother did not cause any major trouble, but Shen Peiming felt a little headache.

Now Luo Lin is no longer in Fan Wubing's Fan Investment Group, and has turned to Shen Ying's Brahma Chuangshi Network Entertainment Company to assist Shen Ying in doing some daily management work.

But one thing is that the Chinese New Year is about to be celebrated. As the most important Spring Festival in the Chinese tradition, everyone wants to reunite with their relatives. Luo Lin, who is alone, is obviously a heart-wrenching problem with Shen Ying. Because of Shen’s mother, it is always inconvenient to bring her home to reunite.

"So, you threw this hot potato to me?" Fan Wubing said with a wry smile.

"Help, after all, it's your sister-in-law--" Shen Ying said as she rubbed Fan Wubing, "I heard that my sister-in-law has a great temptation to her brother-in-law--"

"What and what, am I that kind of person?" Fan Wubing glared at her.

Although Fan Wubing has many girlfriends, he focuses on quality rather than quantity, and never messes outside, not to mention the taboos mentioned by Shen Ying, which is absolutely impossible.

No matter what, Fan Wubing agreed to Shen Ying's request and took Luo Lin to Moscow by plane.

There have been some problems with Putin recently. The opposition parties are very rampant, which makes him unbearable. The chaotic situation reminds him of many things when he ran for Russian president.

On January 12, 2000 Russian socialites gathered at the Presidential Hotel in Moscow and officially elected Acting President Putin as the presidential candidate in the name of the Citizens Initiative Group. When the host announced the news, warm applause burst into the audience. People firmly believe that Putin has an advantage in the presidential election. The key is whether he can take advantage of the situation and make a concerted effort.

Primakov was originally regarded as Putin's number one campaign opponent, but on February 4, he issued a statement via television announcing his withdrawal from the campaign.

Primakov withdraws from the campaign. After the Duma election, Primakov's approval rating dropped repeatedly, and his ranking among presidential candidates dropped to third place. After that, he suffered heavy blows. First, Yeltsin suddenly stepped down, advanced the election time, which made Primakov lose valuable time to regroup. Then, the backyard of the Central Power League fired. The leaders of the all-Russian movement collectively made a decision to support Putin's election for president. The division of the Central Power League made Primakov lose a political foundation to rely on.

Misfortune never comes alone. At the new Duma plenary session held on January 18, the United Alliance reached a secret deal with the Russian Communist Party, supporting the re-election of the main leader of the Russian Communist Party, Serezniov, to force Primakov, who was preparing to compete for this position, to withdraw from the competition. The failure of the Duma president completely ruined Primakov's hope of running for president.

One of Putin's most dangerous competitors was out, and among the ten opponents who participated in the presidential election with Putin, another opponent was Jiuganov, who was then chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Russia.

Soon, Putin formed his own think tank to help him propose a more realistic campaign program in the presidential campaign, formulate major policies that suit Russia's national conditions, and improve his political image. Most of the people in this think tank were personally selected by Putin, and they come from many fields.

The number one figure in Putin's think tank was Mikhail Kasyanov. The first deputy prime minister and finance minister whom Putin was promoted after acting president was only 42 years old at the time and could speak fluent English. For people in the Western financial industry, he was a familiar and trustworthy person. His main job was to handle the tension between Russia and the International Monetary Fund.

Chubais is Putin's political counselor and commander-in-chief of the presidential campaign. Putin's major political and economic policies need help. He said Putin's top priority is to vigorously strengthen the functions of key departments of the country and combat corporate crimes and illegal activities.

Although Chubais was verbally abused by some in Russia, he was a shrewd political management talent. In 1996, he helped Yeltsin win and re-election in the election. In addition to running the United Energy Company, he also helped manage Putin's campaign.

There is another important figure in Putin's think tank - Sergei Ivanov, his former KGB colleague, who has held important positions with Putin since Putin came to power.

In 1990, Putin left the KGB and entered the government department, while Ivanov continued to work in the intelligence department, and his position rose steadily.

In November 1999, Putin appointed Ivanov, then deputy director of the Federal Security Agency, as secretary of the Russian National Security Conference in the name of the Russian Prime Minister. Under Ivanov, the National Security Conference formulated a controversial new national security concept. This revised concept lowered the threshold for Russia's possible use of nuclear weapons and clearly pointed out that the West is a potential threat to Russian security. Ivanov is also a firm advocate of the multipolar world theory advocated by Putin.

St. Petersburg lawyer Grave was Putin's pen, who, like Putin, speaks fluent German. He worked with Putin in the privatization planning department in the early 1990s, when Putin was one of the heads of the mayor of St. Petersburg. Grave's appointment reflected Putin's thoughts from another aspect, and regarded the paternalistic capitalist model adopted by Germany's economic development after the war as a possible path for Russian development.

Putin's think tanks attach great importance to their work. They believe that image is more important than politics. Think tanks must transcend political parties and actions. Their main job is to collect and summarize ideologies and organize them for future use.

The think tank is always waiting by Putin, waiting for the president to determine the direction of his action. This elite think tank manages Putin's campaign in an orderly manner, and Putin's advantage in being elected president is getting bigger and bigger.

On February 25, Putin published an "Open Letter to Russian Citizens", allowing voters to understand their campaign program and respond to his previous aggressive rival, Jiuganov.

In this letter, Putin explained the priority policies he will pursue, which can be summarized as: "win the Chechen War", "strengthening the national status", "fighting crime", and "eliminating poverty", which all talk about the hearts of voters.

On March 26, 2000, the presidential election of the Russian Federation was held as scheduled. As expected, in the first round of elections, Putin won 53% of the votes, which not only gave Putin the state power, but also had the power to choose allies and partners, allowing them to carry out major political and economic reforms. Russia has since entered the Putin era.

But now, these defeated generals under his command are ready to move again, and some different voices have appeared among some of the collaborators or supporters in their own camp. The opposition in local forces is also working on their own to challenge the determination of the Russian central government, which makes him feel very difficult.

It can be said that a large part of the various disputes that have occurred in China-Russia economic and trade cooperation have been created by these opposition parties in order to drag down Putin from an economic perspective and make him lose in the upcoming presidential election.
