The train driver in the courtyard

Li Aiguo devised all the luxurious decorations he could think of and sent the plans to the Friendship Hotel.

After Andrei reported to his elder brother, he quickly relayed the news back.

"The boss loves it, hurry up and build it!"

The car service is still managed by car manufacturing expert Chen Zunan.

The locomotive depot also needs to manufacture train cars, minibuses, and the like, so Li Aiguo is reluctant to send away experts like Chen Zunan.

The locomotive depot also sent a large batch of supplies to Jichun Automobile Factory, essentially buying out these experts.

Jichun Automobile Factory was somewhat frustrated, feeling like it had been robbed. However, considering the overall national situation and the fact that it could obtain scarce supplies, it accepted the offer.

The Second Automobile Works plant has been completed and is operating at full capacity, responsible for manufacturing the vehicle bodies for this special-purpose vehicle.

With the experience gained from manufacturing special vehicles last time, the vehicle body was quickly completed and delivered to the capital.

The Ministry of Machine Building also transferred various gemstone materials.

After the starry sky ceiling was installed, the next step was the gemstone interior decoration, which was more difficult. Li Aiguo personally led several craftsmen to assemble it.

To prevent damage to the gemstones during assembly, all the edges were polished three times with suede beforehand, and the edges of the buckles were rounded to avoid cutting the leader's hand.

The craftsmen all wear special gloves while working.

The center console is equipped with water-filled blue agate sourced from Southeast Asia by the Ministry of Machinery Industry.

The outer ring of the steering wheel is made of tiger skin that has been maintained with beeswax for half a month, and the central logo is inlaid with a full-green old mine jadeite.

The stitching on the seats is particularly special; the craftsmen stitch light champagne-colored rhinestones into the dark brown leather stitches. These rhinestones are not noticeable in natural light.

The rear seats for leaders are supported by mahogany, and the armrests are inlaid with a circle of small diamonds, giving them a very high-end feel.

The car emblem on the front is made of pure gold and is a standing emblem; even the base is made of pure gold.

As for the appearance, both cars were black, with no special embellishments except for the gold emblem.

"It's so impressive, this car is so impressive." Section Chief Xing has been keeping a close eye on the manufacturing of the special-purpose vehicle lately.

He was at a loss for words. Although he knew that what Li Aiguo had come up with was definitely something good, he was still shocked by the luxurious interior when he opened the car door.

"Good, good, this car is too luxurious." The leaders of the First Ministry of Machine Building also came after hearing the news. Looking at the luxurious decorations inside the car, only these words could come to mind.

"Patriotism, shouldn't we add an ashtray to the car?" A leader from the First Ministry of Machine Building suggested after recovering from his shock.

Li Aiguo really overlooked this matter. The older brother and leader all have the habit of smoking, but it's a bit too conspicuous to place the ashtray on the armrest.

Fortunately, Li Aiguo knew another way and designed a hidden ashtray.

Buttons were installed in the leader's secretary's seat and in the back row; pressing them would automatically lift the ashtray.

The entire process requires no manual intervention from the leader.

After all that was settled, the Second Automobile Works also delivered the special wheel hubs. Don't underestimate these things; they can play a crucial role in completing the design.

With the cooperation of various departments, the forklift project was also suspended, and the entire manufacturing process took less than half a month.

In mid-June, the first special train arrived at the station, ready to be transported to Moscow via international train.

Li Aiguo personally laid a mat in the car to ensure it was clean, and then covered the outside of the car with a quilt. He then instructed the escorts to be careful.

After the international train departed, it was time for the second special train to make its delivery.

However, this special vehicle was never mentioned in the agreement; it could only be transported to the Northeast by train first, and then escorted there by armed guards.

Andrei was the one who received the vehicle, and he brought a whole company of soldiers with him.

As soon as the second special vehicle passed by, it was loaded into a specially made truck and transported to Moscow day and night.

Almost simultaneously with the departure of the two special vehicles, the Russians announced that, in gratitude for the donation, they would be gifting a batch of oil and gas extraction equipment and also planning to sell some oil and gas extraction technology.

These were all the responsibility of the leaders of the First Ministry of Machine Building.

Li Aiguo has been working overtime a lot lately, and he can handle it, but the technicians in the studio can't take it anymore.

The psychological pressure of manufacturing special-purpose vehicles is especially immense. In order to achieve perfection, they even think about how to improve the process while sleeping.

Whenever the staff in the studio work overtime, they improve the meals; this benefit is equivalent to overtime pay.

That's how things are these days. As long as you make an effort, everyone will see it and won't treat you unfairly.

Pork stew with vermicelli, braised pork, and braised fish are all prepared in various ways, and any leftovers can be taken home to your wife and children.

The technicians in the studio worked hard for half a month and ended up gaining weight.

However, the energy depleted cannot be replenished simply through nutrition. Although the bulldozer and Project 116 still needed to be pushed forward, Li Aiguo, seeing that the wild car experts and Zong Xianfeng were all wearing sunglasses, decided to take a couple of days off.

It just so happens that Chen Xueru is also due for her last prenatal checkup and needs someone to accompany her.

Even the farmer was alarmed by this, and personally called Li Aiguo to ask him to take care of his family.

Therefore, Li Aiguo needs to take a few days off so that the researchers in the studio can also rest for a few days.

Section Chief Xing agreed without hesitation and even shared some of the supplies sent by the Ministry of Machine Building with Li Aiguo.

These are all items in short supply, such as milk powder and pine nuts from Northeast China.

Section Chief Xing has been very busy lately, juggling the work within the section with arranging for the mechanics to train excavator repairmen from various units.

He was also responsible for the production of excavators, essentially doing the work of two people. Li Aiguo advised him to take a couple of days off, but Section Chief Xing replied, "Only those who are useless to society need to rest."

Li Aiguo: "."

Li Aiguo took Chen Xueru to the hospital for a prenatal checkup, and everything was normal. Her due date was just over a month away.

Several days later, the first special train arrived in Moscow on an international train.

The leaders from the older brother's side were waiting at the station early, along with reporters, which can be seen as evidence that the relationship between the two countries has eased somewhat.

After the train stopped, the staff responsible for escorting the passengers unpacked the "package," and Commander Xie personally drove the special vehicle off the train.

Reporters nearby snapped photos, especially noting the imposing and powerful appearance of the limousine; they were all eager to use their film.

They had never seen such a grand limousine before.

When the reporters saw the car start moving and the wheels looked like they were turning backwards, they were all dumbfounded. This thing was too amazing.

Another flurry of photos was taken.

The car was driven to the Kremlin, and the Corn Emperor climbed inside and lay down comfortably. He was extremely satisfied with the car's exterior and interior.

The tiger skin on the back seat, in particular, suits him perfectly.

The older brother felt that the gifts from that side were really good. Not to mention the pure gold emblem, the uniquely designed starry sky ceiling and the gemstones inside could only be described as luxurious.

Photos of the chauffeured car quickly appeared on the front pages of major newspapers around the world.

Because Xie's people did not allow reporters to get close, and for the sake of secrecy, only exterior photos of the official car were available.

However, this does not prevent those journalists from exercising their initiative.

The interiors of these luxury cars are made entirely of pure gold and inlaid with diamonds; even the gear shift lever is made of South African diamonds.

If the Queen hadn't protested, saying the biggest diamond was in her house, who knows what these people would have fabricated.

Although there are no pictures to prove it, it has made those in the West extremely envious.

The vehicle, which is 8.5 meters long, is bulletproof and has reversed wheels; even President Kenneth Maslow was tempted by it.

"How about we build an armored car too?" Ken suggested to his brother.

“I think it’s a good idea, but I prefer convertibles,” President Ken nodded.

Ken: "."

He felt that the car was bulletproof, but also that it wasn't.

Just as the world was captivated by the special chauffeured cars, a specially made truck that had traveled from Siberia to Moscow quietly arrived at a manor on the outskirts of Moscow.

“Uncle, what do you think of this car? It’s exactly the same as the one in the Kremlin,” Andrei said with a smile.

General Medal opened the car door and got in, closing his eyes as if sensing something.

After a long pause, he asked Andrei, "Exactly the same?"

“It is exactly the same; it was designed by Aiguo himself.”

The medal-bearing general nodded: "Well done."

"Since you're my uncle, I'll definitely take your instructions to heart." Andrei clenched his fist excitedly.

With this statement, the future of Andre Trading Company will be bright.

Andrei did not linger at the estate; he had to rush to the Kremlin to receive his award.

"I never expected that I could make such a fortune by using ride-hailing services."
