Go back in time and be a chaebol

Chapter 1434 Eastern Europe, that’s our chive garden (Second update, please subscribe)

There is sunshine, beach and happy life.

For many people who come here, the sunshine and the beach are just a part of life.

To some people, all this may seem insignificant, but to Alexei from Russia, tropical sunshine and beaches are what he longs for.

“Only those who have experienced winter know how precious sunshine is!”

In Alexei's view, the sunshine here is not just the scorching sun of the equator and the beach, but also the work here.

As the champion of the Soviet Mathematical Olympiad, Alexei entered the Institute of Mathematics after graduating from university and worked there. However, in his opinion, the work there was boring.

"My work is in the field of nuclear physics, but I have no interest in nuclear physics at all..."

In an investment bank in Yongning, Alexei introduced his work in the Soviet Union to the interviewer. Coming from a mathematics institute, he got the job easily. After all, contrary to what many people imagined, investment banks need mathematicians more.

The income of investment banks is extremely considerable, with annual salaries reaching as high as tens of thousands of yuan!
In fact, the signing fee alone reached 1000 yuan.

For him as a new immigrant, this money was undoubtedly very important. After all, it was very difficult to exchange foreign currency in the Soviet Union, and ordinary people could only exchange foreign currency on the black market.

Fortunately, he could buy air tickets with rubles in Budapest, otherwise he really didn't know how to get here.

Like many new immigrants, after arriving here, Alexei, his wife and children all moved into an apartment.

New immigrants do not get housing as soon as they arrive here. They need to work for 1 to 2 years before being arranged for public housing based on their provident fund payments, as well as their marital and childbearing status.

Before that, they will live in an apartment temporarily, just like Alexei's family does now, they live in a five-bedroom, one-living-room apartment.

For Darlene Koske, who had only lived in Khrushchev House, when he entered this apartment, he had only one thought in his mind.

"Maria, I know we are in the right place. We really are in the right place."

It's not just the higher income, but also everything that is presented before his eyes, whether it is the bright and transparent living room or the spacious bedroom, everything is reminding him.

This is a place that is different from others.

"Can you believe it? We are just here for a transition today."

Alexei said in an incredible tone.

"Maybe next year, we can move into our new home. I have consulted with others."

Maria said as she looked at the simply decorated but extremely spacious room in front of her.

"Is this true? Will we ever have a better home?"

"Of course!"

Alexei laughed and looked at his son and daughter. The eldest daughter, Natasha, looked at her father and spoke in an incredible tone.

"Dad, do I have my own room too?"

The youngest daughter Anna also looked at her father. Although she was only 5 years old, she also longed to have her own room.

Ivan, the two-year-old son, held his mother's hand, fearing that his parents would throw him into a separate room.

"Yes!"

He said as he looked at their expectant faces.

"Okay, kids, go find some rooms you like!"

As the delighted children excitedly ran towards the bedroom, Alexey hugged his wife and said:

"As I promised you, we will live a better life here. We won't have to live as cautiously as we did in Russia."

Maria nodded vigorously. She knew why her husband brought his family here. It was not just for a better life, but more importantly, he wanted to escape from that environment.

His father died in Siberia. Even though he had won the Soviet Mathematical Olympiad and graduated from the Department of Mathematics at Moscow University, it did not change the label of unreliable on him. Even after he started working, his file still said "unreliable".

It was precisely this unreliability that drove him to leave that land and come here.

"I know."

Maria said, leaning on her husband's arms.

"I know we will be happier." When talking about happiness, Maria's eyes were full of anticipation. She also got a job.

As a middle school music teacher, this job was extremely easy for her, as she already worked in the Moscow City Orchestra. It was also a suitable job for her major.

In fact, this is also the reason why employment agencies exist. They will always introduce corresponding jobs to people based on their abilities.

Of course, she could join the band, but for new immigrants, the most important thing is to settle down first.

In this way, this family that "disappeared" in the Soviet Union settled down here.

From then on, they said goodbye to the country they were familiar with, and on this day, Liliana also came here.

Two days later, as a new immigrant, she got a job as a high school math teacher.

Every day, people like him come to this land from the Soviet Union and Eastern European countries. They are not ordinary immigrants, but a group of highly qualified talents who will use their intelligence and talents here.

As for what kind of career he could achieve, no one knows now, but for Li Yian, on his way back from Hungary, when he was looking at the report in his hand, his face was slightly proud of his thoughts.

"11786 people!"

These are the immigrants from the Soviet Union and Eastern European countries who traveled to Chang'an via Budapest in the first half of this year.

These immigrants are generally college graduates, and many of them are experts in certain fields.

In the past, they had no channels or ways to leave the other side of the Iron Curtain, but now, they can leave the Iron Curtain through this "loophole" in Budapest.

"Sir, they are just leeks."

The reason why Robert said this is because of your "leek theory". Although this idea is unknown to the outside world, as a staff member of the official residence, Robert knows very well what leeks are.
The leeks are the talents cultivated by various countries, and what is needed is to create an environment to attract talents and use their wisdom to develop the economy and technology.

"They are not just leeks, they will also provide a new direction."

Li Yian nodded. Then he said:
"In any case, the arrival of these talents will inject new blood into our team. The education they received is completely different from ours, which means that they will have new innovations and new ideas in many research areas. When combined with our researchers, they may achieve new breakthroughs in certain areas."

The reason why I am so sure is that in another world, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, a large number of Soviet scientists and scholars went to the United States to work.

Many companies in Silicon Valley have employees from the Soviet Union, and they have all achieved corresponding success in their respective fields, whether in the Internet, software development, or artificial intelligence. Many of them are even pioneers in these fields.

Some people in another world analyzed that the fundamental reason why these Soviet researchers were able to succeed was that they opened up a new research path and combined it with the original research direction of the United States, thus producing extremely amazing achievements.

As for Li Yian, what he hopes is to bring this qualitative change to himself earlier, so as to promote the development of science and technology.

"Sir, the Soviets will definitely not allow us to harvest talents like this. They will definitely find a way to stop this in the future."

Robert reminded:

"After all, no country would do such a brain drain like East Germany. Wasn't the reason they built the Berlin Wall there because they lost a large number of scientific and technological personnel every year?"

Li Yian thought about Robert's reminder and then said:

"The Soviets will definitely stop this in the end, but at least we can attract as many people as possible before they stop this.

We'll have to think about the future, now it's good enough as long as someone comes."

What kind of achievements will the talents coming from Russia bring?

Li Yian didn't know, but he knew very well that the development here was inseparable from talents from all walks of life, not only cultivated by himself, but also from all over the world.

Just like the United States, even half a century later, even when many people confidently declared that the United States was in decline, the United States could still attract all kinds of talents from all over the world. Regardless of whether the United States is in decline or not, as long as those talents continue to flow into the United States, the United States will not fall into recession as some people wish.

After all, the development of both science and economy cannot be separated from the knowledge of intellectual resources. When a country can attract the best intelligence, it can naturally make new breakthroughs in science and technology, economy and other fields.

Although we are not as attractive as the United States for world-class talents, by opening this window in Hungary, we can at least attract as much talent as possible from the other side of the Iron Curtain.

In this way, at least through the introduction of such talents, fresh blood can be injected into the scientific community, new research directions can be provided, and the development of science and technology can be promoted. Then, the development of science and technology can promote economic development.

"Now, all we need to do is to do well in the present. As for the rest, we will talk about it after it happens."

Li Yian smiled, his face full of pride at this moment. After all, being able to own a leek field to harvest high-quality leeks is definitely a very happy thing.

A few hours later, Air Force One landed at Chang'an International Airport.

Li Yian finally returned home after being away for many days.
