Chapter 239 The Beginning of Friendship Part One
The next morning, Wang Weidong gave Konstantin another [-] rubles to go out and buy some daily necessities again.

Bai lived with Pantslovna, and he thought he could make up for the old lady in other ways.

When he was about to leave, he was going to fill the house with eggs, milk, and bread and beef, so that Pantselovna would not have to worry about livelihood for a long time to come.

After Konstantin went out, he didn't go to the mall immediately, but took a taxi to find Goncharova.

"How do you think what I said to him last night had an effect on him?" Goncharova asked.

"It has a certain effect, but it's not obvious yet. If it was me, I wouldn't be able to fully believe what you said, and put so much money into it rashly. We must show strength, let him see this strength, and then convince him We, we are reliable, we mean what we say!" Constantine replied.

"So what do you think we should do?" Goncharova asked.

"Now our country is short of food, extremely short of food. This is an extremely abnormal phenomenon! Because our country has vast land and endless fields, but now the collective farms have declined, and no one farms at all. For example In the Far East where I live, China’s land on the other side of the border is full of lush crops, but our land is full of weeds! Vladivostok and Ussuriysk exchanged a large number of commodities Part of it is food. Wang Weidong once said that he wanted some Chinese to come to our side to cultivate the land and grow food and vegetables. But neither Vladivostok nor Ussuriysk are willing. In doing so, they would rather dismantle the factory in exchange for food," Constantine said.

Goncharova nodded and said: "I understand why they don't want to. They are afraid that if there are too many Chinese people, we will drown all the people in the Far East that are already scarce in it, and slowly that piece of land will become theirs again. .”

"But if this continues, the living conditions will become worse and worse, and the people in the Far East will run to the west and Moscow, and the number of people in the Far East will become less and less, and in the end it will become a piece of open space. , In empty cities, a small number of Chinese have lived to grow food and vegetables or do business as workers. I don’t think it matters. Because only in this way, more Russians are willing to stay there.” Konstantin said .

Goncharova nodded and said: "What you said makes sense, and we don't have to plant a few acres of land alone like in China. If we use the abandoned mechanized farm tools in the current collective farms, one person can plant hundreds of acres, or even more. A lot of land. In this way, hundreds of Chinese people work there, and the annual harvest of grain is very considerable. You go back and tell Wang Weidong that we welcome him to bring some people to the Far East to contract and cultivate a large area of ​​the Far East just like the Chinese countryside. area of ​​land."

"Also, there are 130 train stations along the way from Vladivostok to Moscow by train. Many places that used to be prosperous are now completely dilapidated. There are almost no people in those cities, and the factories are completely abandoned. If possible, we can pick a few places like this, let Wang Weidong take his people to continue dismantling, let him see that we are capable people." Constantine said.

"Yeah, I also heard that some small cities with thousands or even tens of thousands of people are now only haunted by wolves, tigers and bears." Goncharova said sadly.

"Those places will be completely abandoned even if they are not demolished. It is better to hurry up and let Wang Weidong and the others dismantle them quickly, and they can exchange for a large number of goods and materials." Constantine said.

"Okay, I'll discuss it with them right away, and there should be a result soon. There is one more thing. It turns out that our country rarely imports foreign cars, especially second-hand cars. Therefore, the import of foreign second-hand cars is legally subject to a zero-tariff system. Now There is a heated debate about this policy in the country. Some people suggest abolishing the zero-tariff system and charging a certain amount of tariffs. Wang Weidong must not agree to this. Please tell him and let him wait for another two days before returning to Vladivo. Before Stoke, let him see the final conclusion," Goncharova said.

Konstantin returned to Panzerovna's house after shopping. He walked into the room and said to Wang Weidong: "I went to Goncharova's just now. She told me that she appreciates your suggestion to let some Chinese go to the Far East. Rent land to grow food and vegetables. Maybe in the near future, you will contract a large piece of land in the Far East just like Chinese farmers contract land in China, and then let dozens or hundreds of people use modern machinery to go Cultivate the land. Also, we passed a lot of deserted places on the train ride to Moscow, maybe you'll get one or two of those places soon, demolishing factories and towns that used to have thousands of people! Goncharova also asked me to tell you that the above is discussing whether to abolish the original zero-tariff system for imported second-hand cars in the country. Goncharova explicitly asked me to tell you to wait two more days to see the results, but He asked me to tell you the result in advance, the zero-tariff system for imported used cars will not be abolished!
"Okay, since this is the case, then I will wait two more days before leaving." Wang Weidong said.

The big northern countries, like China, use left-hand drive vehicles, while Japanese cars use right-hand drive vehicles. It is more likely to cause safety problems if there are both left-hand drive and right-hand drive vehicles on the road.

Moreover, a large number of imported foreign cars will seriously hit the domestic auto industry.

Sitting upstairs, Wang Weidong vaguely heard the doorbell ringing. After a while, he went upstairs alone with brisk steps and pushed open the door of Wang Weidong's room.

Wang Weidong saw Natasha appearing at the door!
"How did you find this place?" Wang Weidong asked in surprise.

"After I returned to Vladivostok, I heard that you had gone to Moscow, so I took the train to Moscow and found this place four days later." Natasha replied with a smile.

"How do you know I live here?" Wang Weidong asked.

"You once told me that you would find Pantsev when you go to Moscow in the future. After I arrived in Moscow, I went to several police stations to inquire about Pantsev. After I found Pantsev, he told me that you live here." Natasha explained.

Although Natasha said it lightly, Wang Weidong knew that it must have taken Natasha a long time to find this place.

For a moment he didn't know what to say.

"When will you and your colleagues return to Vladivostok?" Wang Weidong asked.

"There are three more days," Natasha replied.

In other words, it took Natasha a day to find herself.

"Okay, let's go back to Vladivostok together in three days!" Wang Weidong said.
