Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 1684 Commonwealth of Independent States Agreement

On December 1991, 12, many people saw a shocking news on TV. The leaders of the Russian Federation, Belarus, and Ukraine signed the "Commonwealth of Independent States Agreement" and announced the formation of the "Commonwealth of Independent States", which is What the Chinese call the Commonwealth of Independent States, and the signing of this agreement also means that the powerful Soviet Union is finally falling apart.

Although the disintegration of the Soviet Union has not yet been officially announced, the Soviet Union has collapsed and disintegrated in essence. In addition to the three Baltic countries that declared independence in September this year, the Soviet Union was split into 9 countries, and the Russian Federation became the only group of the Soviet Union.

All of a sudden, domestic media began to report on the disintegration of the Soviet Union. Many domestic current affairs commentators were surprised. No one thought that the Soviet Union, once the superpower of the two poles of the world, ended up with such a result.

Of course, Duan Yun knew about all these things a long time ago, and had already made arrangements in advance.

On the second day after the signing of the Commonwealth of Independent States agreement, Duan Yun received an international long-distance call from Belarus. The person who called him was Anatol Dastan, an honorary professor at St. Petersburg University.

On the phone, Dastan expressed his willingness to visit China again and hoped that Tianyin Group could send him an invitation letter so that he could handle visa and other procedures.

Although he didn't say it clearly on the phone, Duan Yun knew in his heart that what Dastan did was actually preparing to come to China to work.

For Duan Yun, this is definitely a huge victory, because he did not expect that Dastan would really come to work in China.

Dastan received a Ph.D. in Microelectronics Engineering from Minsk Information University in 1978, and was awarded the title of Merited Inventor of the Soviet Union in 1980. He became one of the 12 experts in the Soviet Union who enjoyed this honor. At that time, he was elected as an academician of the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Belarus and can be said to be one of the top microelectronics experts in Belarus.

Different from ordinary experts, top experts like Dastan are under the key surveillance of the state intelligence agency in the Soviet Union. Because such talents have mastered some advanced secret military technology of the country, if they usually want to go abroad, they must It has to go through layers of departmental approval, and even if it goes abroad, it will still be subject to various surveillance by the KGB.

It is precisely because of this that Duan Yun didn’t have much hope that Dastan might come to work in China in the future, but he still offered him a very high salary, hoping to catch big fish in the long run.

However, what Duan Yun didn't expect was that because of the current international situation and various coincidences, Dastan finally had the idea of ​​going to work in China.

Before the Soviet Union, the domestic economy of the Soviet Union had already collapsed. Because of Gorbachev's wrong economic leadership, the domestic privatization process was too fast, and the ruble depreciated rapidly. This made the living standards of ordinary people in the Soviet Union plummet, even Dastan Although the salaries of the top experts in the Soviet Union are much higher than that of ordinary people, with the depreciation of the ruble, their family's standard of living can barely maintain a level of food and clothing, which also forces Dastan to prepare to find another way out.

The current situation is that the whole of Europe has been under the surveillance of Soviet intelligence agencies, so these Soviet experts dare not defect to Europe easily.

There are lessons learned about this matter. There was a defection of 200 top experts in the former Soviet Union. It was not long after the end of the Cuban crisis. In order to ease the relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union sent 200 scientists to the West for exchanges. Several scientists were instigated by the West and defected overnight, which directly angered the Soviet high-level, and immediately dispatched special forces to search the world. Although the United States protected these scientists, many of them were still found out by Soviet agents. Physically, the two One word shook the White House, and that was vengeance.

Even now that the Soviet Union has begun to disintegrate, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and the Soviet KGB agent organization is also responsible for the global anti-rape work, so no matter how well these defected scientists are concealed, they may be killed by Soviet spies at any time. Being able to escape by chance, it is estimated that the rest of his life can only be spent in fear.

For a scientist who has experienced those white terror years, Dastan has learned to act cautiously, so although he has received high-paying offers from some European and American countries before, Dastan finally chose to decline politely. He does not want to be accused of being a traitor. Hat, let yourself and your family live in fear of being dominated by Soviet intelligence.

Some of the experts from the former Soviet Union that Duan Yun introduced in the early stage were friends and colleagues of Dastan. After they came to work in Tianyin Group, they were very satisfied with the salary and working environment. Dastan came to work in China through these After my friends and colleagues learned about the situation, they finally decided to come to China to work.

Duan Yun and Dastan stopped talking on the phone for less than 3 minutes, and then Duan Yun arranged for his assistant to go to the Soviet embassy in China to handle the relevant procedures, making preparations in advance for Dastan and others to come to China .

In addition to Dastan, Duan Yun also took the initiative to send invitation letters to other Soviet experts who visited Shenzhen before, inviting them to participate in the new round of "Sino-Soviet Technology Exchange Forum", in fact, to remind them in disguise. The Soviet experts who visited China asked them to express their views on working in China.

Duan Yun also knew that it was impossible for him to recruit all the top Soviet experts, but he certainly wouldn’t be the only top Soviet expert like Dastan coming to China, because Duan Yun’s salary was very sincere, with an annual salary of 50 to The price of 100 million US dollars is already higher than the quotations given by most of the United States, Europe and South Korea. This is a price that is hard to refuse.

Another point is that the commercial vehicle and electronics industries of the Soviet Union have a certain gap compared with Europe, the United States and Japan, but they are definitely much stronger than the technology mastered by Chinese experts, which makes these Soviet experts become popular in China. But it is not enough to arouse the strong interest of European and American countries. The difference in the attitudes of the two sides towards these experts also determines that Duan Yun has a certain advantage in this talent competition...
