Chapter 0555 save face
Zhou Qingfeng's words were low and heavy. Every ups and downs hit people's hearts, and the reporters present gradually felt the atmosphere was solemn.
This was originally a happy press conference, but in a flash it became a scene of roaring and shouting to the world.
Everyone can feel a sense of heaviness, a sense of unwillingness, a sense of pride, and a sense of shackles and still unyielding calmness.
When the declaration was over, the venue was quiet for a few seconds, followed by a series of flash lights.
The media, translators, and Cui Koff himself who attended the press conference also felt the vigorous momentum and motivation of Zhou Qingfeng's words.
When the translator recounted Zhou Qingfeng's meaning, Cui Kefu, who was in his sixties, felt a muscle trembling shock. He turned his head to look at the young man beside him. Although the two were close, they seemed to be standing at both ends of time and space.
On one end is the Soviet Union, which is about to fall into the abyss, and on the other end is the China, which is striving for progress.
The two stood in the void, with their feet floating islands constantly widening their distance. One rose, jumped, and rushed towards the light. The other fell, got stuck, fell into darkness.
Once upon a time, the great Soviets also had such a group of energetic young people. They shaped the extremely powerful red empire with their will and bodies.
But in less than a hundred years, the warriors who killed the dragon turned into evil dragons. When the people voted to keep the alliance, the powerful chose to split.
For the Russians, the great motherland can only be pursued in memory.
The press conference lasted for half an hour, and all media felt that they had gained a lot. When the meeting ended, the reporters in the Imperial Capital Hall even stood up and applauded.
Xiao Jinlang stood not far away and quietly gave a thumbs up, expressing his approval of Zhou Qingfeng's last words.
When the two walked out of the hall, Xiao Jinlang whispered: "I'll think of a way to let you go tonight's 'News Broadcast' in this passage today."
Damn it!
Zhou Qingfeng turned his head and was surprised, "It's so big? I'm a little panicked. Which link can I go to? 'The leader is very busy' is definitely not my turn. Is it 'the people are very happy' or 'the foreign country is in dire straits'?"
Xiao Jinlang rolled his eyes and said, "If you have a text message, please be content. Don't think too much."
Although the 'News Broadcast' is broadcast every day, every month, and every year, ordinary people don't like to watch it. But this is the direction of China's public opinion and policy, and all national affairs are on the top.
We must pay attention to doing business and doing politics.
If Uncle Zhou really can be on the "News Broadcast", his value will definitely increase by a hundred times.
Panic!
Zhou Qingfeng muttered, "In the future, everyone will give me money or use sugar-coated shells to corrode. What should I do? In fact, sugar-coated shells are okay. I am most afraid of encountering a beauty trick."
Lin Wan and Huang Li followed behind, and their hearts were shaken by Zhou Qingfeng's words just now. Facing the reporter's camera and questions, the two women felt very honored.
But when he turned his head, his own president was worried about the "beauty plan".
It's so embarrassing!
I wish I could strangle him to death!
The press conference ended, but "Sheng Light" and Su Fang still have something to talk about.
Cui Kefu took the initiative to move forward and shake hands with Zhou Qingfeng, "Zhou, your speech makes people feel powerful, you will become a hero in this country."
Zhou Qingfeng became modest in the blink of an eye, shook hands and chuckled: "Our cooperation will make each other a hero of the country."
Cui Kefu wanted to laugh and echoed, but his heart felt endless sadness.
The imperial capital hall needs to be re-arranged. Anyway, it is better to change the layout of the press conference to face-to-face negotiations. The "Holy Light" has made demands on the overhaul line, and the two sides have to exchange opinions.
Old Cui Kefu could have gone to the lounge, but stood beside Zhou Qingfeng and asked in a low voice: "Zhou, in principle, I agree to export a set of overhaul line to you. But can the next transaction be paid for US dollars?"
Since January 1, 1991, trade exchanges between China and the Soviet Union have been changed to cash settlement. The past transaction method of "barter" is obviously not in the interests of the Russians.
Zhou Qingfeng smiled and said, "Your Excellency Deputy Minister, please forgive me for taking the liberty. If we continue barter trading, the light industrial goods we provide can also be used to solve the current shortage of goods in your country.
Ordinary people can still benefit.
If it is changed to cash settlement, I am afraid that the money will be divided up by oligarchs, rich people, corrupt people, and foreign speculators as soon as the money is received.
As far as I know, many people in your country are taking advantage of exchange rate loopholes to cash out. People's property is shrinking rapidly."
The decline of the alliance is the first of all the economic decline. The collapse of the alliance is the collapse of finance. The powerful are trying hard to make money, leaving no scum to the people.
Zhou Qingfeng's words hurt Cui Kefu.
The old Bolshevik showed anger, and even gritted his teeth. He suddenly raised his hair like an angry lion, and interrupted, "It's enough, don't talk."
The roar shook the corridor outside the hall, and the reporters had not left yet. Several bold people even raised their cameras on the spot and grabbed Zhou Qingfeng and Cui Kefu, who were standing side by side, into the camera.
People thought the two had an argument or a change, but they saw Zhou Qingfeng gently patting the deputy minister on the shoulder. Old Cuikov had red eyes and a sad and angry face, and was pulling out a handkerchief to wipe the corners of his eyes.
"We were comrades-in-arms, opponents, and friends in the future. If we do not cooperate, the Soviet Union's huge industrial system will only fall apart and rust and mottled.
The West needs your resources at most, not your equipment. Your talents will either stay and do nothing or go to the Western world.
I know you are wary of us, and do not want to see a powerful country appear in the East. But when the Soviets fall, someone will always stand up and bear the firepower of the West.
If you don’t help us, who else can you help?
The mothers in your country are short of food, the girls do not have beautiful skirts, and the shelves of the market are empty.
Veterans of the Patriotic War were selling their medals, and their granddaughters would even become prostitutes one day.
The two evils are the least. If the optimal solution cannot be found, the suboptimal solution is the only way. At least I can trade fairly with you and retain the minimum dignity.
Deputy Minister, I can actually tell you frankly.
What I want is not just a major repair line, but I also want Gubishev's engineers, scientists from the Central Aero Engine Research Institute, and all the good things under the nine Ministry of Defense Industry.
You can think I'm too arrogant, but I'm serious. I can choose to work with you or a shameless and greedy guy.
It only costs tens of thousands or even thousands of dollars, and I can find countless people with resources and power in your country. I have always been honest in working with people, it depends on how you choose?”
Before Zhou Qingfeng could finish his words, Cui Kefu shivered in shock and anger. He suddenly wanted to beat the kid, but as soon as his fist was tightened, his palm was grabbed by the other party.
Chapter completed!
