Okayev's expression was extremely solemn, like wearing a sacred cloak, "I can't betray my motherland!" A strong soldier look. But this is just a disguise. With previous experience, Okayev knew that this young man looked a little tender, but in fact he was an extremely experienced guy, otherwise he would not have swept away all the small and small private banks of Khabarovsk within a month.

Okayev was very troubled by these five major factories. Originally, these large factories were directly managed by the army and did not belong to the local system. However, the consequence of the Soviet Union's economic downturn in recent years was that the national defense budget was greatly reduced, and the construction of military-industrial enterprises was suspended and slowed down. As for the maintenance of military-industrial enterprises, they were basically maintained at a difficult level, so these large enterprises under military-industrial control were pushed to Okayev.

I didn't look for me when I made money, but came to me when I lost money. Okayev naturally refused to admit such a thing. When both the military and political parties were slapped, these major factories became hot potatoes. They threw them around between the military and political parties, and no one was willing to accept them. At the same time, they had to take them for a few days and then throw them over.

Nowadays, some people take the initiative to take over this hot potato, Okayev naturally agrees with it. The previous rejection is just a gesture, and this gesture is important in order to occupy a favorable position in future negotiations.

Zhang Yan looked at Okayev calmly and took out a bank card, "One billion ruble, Lord Okayev, this is my sincerity, please show your sincerity."

Zhang Yan saw with satisfaction that the ice on Okayev's face began to melt immediately. When a country's spirit began to collapse, the personal ethics of officials were really not worth mentioning in front of money. Seeing Okayev still hesitating, Zhang Yan added, "This is a deposit. For every successful acquisition of a company, I am paying you a billion ruble."

"Boom" Under the attack of a huge amount of money, Okayev's defense line collapsed completely. Although he had received 400 million rubles, compared with the amount Zhang Yan offered now, these are nothing. Okayev's Adam's apple moved for a while. "If these five families are all yours..."

"If all these five companies are successful in purchasing, I will pay you another 2 billion rubles as a thank you gift." Zhang Yan answered without thinking. Although it is worth 8 billion rubles now. But if not for a long time, these rubles will become worthless. If you use a lot of cheap money to buy five large factories, this transaction is appropriate.

Okayev pondered for a moment. The ownership of the five major factories has not been determined yet. If he swallowed it in one bite, it will definitely arouse the military's alertness. The best way is to break the whole into pieces and quietly emptiate the five major factories. When the military gets the news, all they have left is a shell, and it will be too late to do anything.

Thinking of this, Okayev said, "Well, the factory cannot be sold, you know. But the old equipment in the factory can be sold to you at a discount. You know that all the workers in our site are good, and the old equipment is well maintained. Okay, it is better than the new equipment, you know what I mean."

"Oh, I fully understand that as a thank you to these serious workers, I will add a depreciation gift. Of course, the specific quantity is linked to the depreciation of the equipment. I think the governor must also understand what I mean."

Zhang Yan sighed as he smiled. It turned out that the ambitious polar bear had fallen to this point and actually gave up his faith and glory and fell under the money of the nude land. However, if not for this, how could he easily get these big factories? What he has to do now is to dismantle these factories and equipment as soon as possible. The situation in the Soviet Union in 1991 changed rapidly. Perhaps just a small storm could destroy everything he had done earlier.

"Hahaha" Okayev looked at Zhang Yan, and the two of them laughed tacitly.

In February, Khabarovsk was still frozen. In the northwest corner of the city, the huge Amur steel mill was silently occupied. After three years of turmoil, the Amur steel mill is now on the verge of dying. In 1991, the national orders of Far East military-industrial enterprises decreased by 20% and 60%, and this trend is still accelerating. Although there is a Siberian railway connected, the transportation costs of various military-industrial enterprises in Khabarovsk remain high. As a typical wartime enterprise, when the state's financial support is lost, these military-industrial enterprises have no ability to survive.

To a certain extent, the Soviet Union's approach is similar to China's current approach. They are both leaving military-industrial enterprises with poor efficiency alone. In comparison, the Khabarovsk border region, with a population of only 1.5 million, cannot support such a large enterprise. The Soviet Union did not compensate for the losses caused by large-scale reductions in military orders, which had a negative impact on the financial situation of military-industrial enterprises and caused a decline in corporate profits.

While not receiving state funding, the Amur Steel Plant lost 300,000 rubles for every ton of steel produced, of which the freight cost per ton of steel was 1.2 million rubles. Not only did it swallow a lot of profits, but it also had to pay for money. The Amur Steel Plant had to reduce its output, but the expenses were not reduced, but increased, such as the maintenance costs of discontinued equipment and the cost of personnel laid-off diversion.

By early February, Amur Steel Plant had suspended three steelmaking production lines, and its production capacity had dropped sharply from 1.1 million tons to 280,000 tons. The weather was very cold, but the employees of Amur Steel Plant were a little colder than the weather. Although the wages were paid in full, now that prices are soaring, everyone knows what the salary can buy, and I am afraid that they can't even solve the problem of food and clothing.

After receiving the salary, these people scattered and returned to their workshop. At this time, Zhang Yan led a large group of troops in. The director of Amur Steel Plant is called Shelishaf. He is a strong man with a big nose and dark blue eyes. Although he received the news early in the morning, Shelishaf still wanted to make things difficult for Zhang Yan. After all, the situation is chaotic now, and maybe his position as the director will be lost tomorrow. If you don’t make any money now, it will be too late to regret it in the future:

"Comrade Zhang Yan, I know you, aren't you here to receive old equipment? You must have something to hand over to me."

Even if you can't even do something as simple as asking for bribes, Zhang Yan despises Shelishaf from the bottom of his heart. Zhang Yan has always been very merciless about people who don't understand the direction of the wind and want to make a fortune by being brave alone: ​​I'm sorry, I don't have anything to give you. I'm here to fulfill the contract. Your factory provides scrapped equipment, and we are responsible for transporting him away. It's that simple."

"Oh, Comrade Zhang Yan, you must have remembered it wrong. I think you still have time to remember it now." Shelishaf's eyes stared at Zhang Yan, and he was as if he could not agree to it. Zhang Yan looked back at the Soviets who were traveling with him. For safety reasons, Zhang Yan transferred Okayev's secretary to the side, but unexpectedly it was really useful.

The secretary smiled at Zhang Yan, "I'm sorry, I'm making you laugh. It's a shame for us to exist like this scum." When I looked at Shelishaf, the secretary's gray eyes shrank, like a snake staring at a frog. Under the secretary's eyes, Shelishaf immediately became unnatural. He tried to explain: "Oh, I must be dizzy. Avlov's first-class secretary, look at me...Oh, please forgive me, I drank too much vodka in the morning, which made my mind mess. I actually wanted to tell Comrade Zhang Yan that I would cooperate with him with all my strength."

"Well, Shelishaf, you idiot, even the stupidest pig is ten thousand times smarter than you. You made me embarrassed in front of the distinguished guest and became a laughing stock in the whole state. From today on, you should not come to work. Your position will be taken over by the deputy factory director. As for you..." The secretary pointed at Shelishaf and said coldly: "Go home and drink your vodka. You may only have this thing to do in the future."

"No, Comrade Avrov, please forgive me. We grew up together. I have also brought you shoes, copied homework, and took responsibility for you. The last time Kanava's affairs was the blame for you." Shelishaf hugged the secretary and performed in tears. The secretary kicked him in disgust. Shelishaf suddenly lay on the ground, as if he was shot by a cannon.

"It's so embarrassing!" The secretary took out his handkerchief and wiped it on the leather boots, looking at Zhang Yan. "It's a pity, you also know that these people are all small businesses and are very difficult to deal with."

Zhang Yan was very clear in his heart. The two of them had a match. It was obvious that they wanted to get some benefits, but they did not dare to make trouble on the surface and offend the boss. So they had such a bitter plan for themselves. However, this was also within Zhang Yan's plan. Zhang Yan took out a wallet and threw it at the foot of the secretary: "It's understandable, Comrade Avrov, your wallet has dropped. You are too careless. You must know that this wallet may have hidden ten million rubles."
