That year the flowers bloomed 1981

They couldn't provide the answer to Chapter 1355's claim.
"Let's go, let's find a safe place to make the call."

After Li Ye and Sun Xianjin parted ways with Pavlov, they did not immediately go to their hotel, but instead asked Jiang Shiqi to find a safe place to make a phone call.

Because Liang Furu was still dealing with the finishing touches on the previous projects at Da'e and wouldn't be able to come to Ukraine for another two days, and some of the things he wanted to discuss with Pavlov weren't exactly "open and aboveboard," the two of them needed at least "tacit approval."

Otherwise, if Li Ye kindly spent money, only to have some nitpickers seize on it and punish him, wouldn't that be incredibly humiliating?
Li Ye was familiar with this group that specialized in finding fault, but he found the idea of ​​looking for a safe phone number rather amusing.

However, seeing Li Ye being so cautious, Sun Xianjin chuckled and said, "Brother Yi, have you been watching too much 007? You always feel like there are spies everywhere?"

Li Ye understood what Sun Xianjin meant: he wanted to say that Pavlov was not a spy.
However, Li Ye waved his hand and said, "The social order here is even worse than that of the geese. In some people's eyes, we are fat sheep, so if we don't want to be caught out, we have to be unpredictable."

After realizing the loss of state-owned assets, the Goose will tighten its policies and strengthen supervision. Sofia can only delay slightly. But Ukraine openly "split in half". How much of a bottom line can you expect from the people of this country?
Today, Pavlov discussed a very sensitive topic with him, so even though Li Ye had repeatedly confirmed that the other party did not have the means to record, he spoke very discreetly.

But now that he needed to call Liang Furu to report the situation, he couldn't be evasive or vague. If someone with ulterior motives eavesdropped and recorded him, they could accuse him of endangering national security and make him suffer severe consequences.

"Okay, I'll listen to you anyway, you're right."

Jiang Shiqi led Li Ye around twice and found a public phone that could make international calls. In his words, this kind of public phone had no value for eavesdropping, so it was safer.

A few minutes later, Sun Xianjin called Liang Furu and began to report: "Commander Liang, we received news of a bidding process related to aircraft engines in Kiev, located in Lutsk. I suspect it's with 'Motor' Airlines, but their demands are somewhat excessive."

Decades later, when people in China talk about Ukraine's aviation industry, they will immediately mention Motor Sich. But in fact, Ukraine has more than seventy companies related to the aviation industry.
Motor Aerospace is part of the engine supply chain for the MiG-29, making it a very valuable high-tech factory.

Liang Furu said in a deep voice, "Excessive? How is it excessive?"

Sun Xianjin thought for a moment and said, "They have two ledgers."

Liang Furu immediately said, "I'll contact Commander Zhou first. They're quite interested in aero engines. If they're willing to cooperate with us, you can follow his arrangements for now. I'll finish things here as soon as possible and then head over."

"Okay, then, Mr. Liang, is there anything else you want to tell Li Ye?"

"No need, just follow our instructions."

"Oh well"

Sun Xianjin hung up the phone in a huff, then said to Li Ye, "Commander Liang told us to contact Commander Zhou on your sister-in-law's side and follow their arrangements for now."

According to Sun Xianjin's understanding, if he were to lead this matter, it would be a great achievement if it succeeded. However, if he handed it over to Commander Zhou, he would have to give him 70% of the credit.

Li Ye smiled and said, "Don't be so disappointed. Don't you trust Liang Si's abilities? He must have his reasons for making these arrangements."

Sun Xianjin said helplessly, "Brother, I understand the principle. It seems that no one wants to take this responsibility; not everyone is as responsible as you."

Sun Xianjin had been working at the company for several years and knew that Pavlov's proposed "two sets of books" transaction plan was absolutely not allowed according to China's normal work regulations.

But Ukraine's current situation is also abnormal! Treating it as a special case isn't out of the question, but it requires the person in charge to have a selfless sense of responsibility.
But this very sense of responsibility is something many people are wary of, especially those in higher positions. But look at Li Ye's magnanimity and sense of responsibility—what's a little of that?

However, Li Ye was not disappointed. In fact, he had anticipated this situation even before Sun Xianjin made the call.
Because Commander Zhou's side was indeed more interested in aviation technology, and their style of doing things was "wilder" compared to Liang Furu's, so naturally they were more "responsible".

Looking back at the purchase process of that large ship, it didn't conform to normal business procedures, but it was the "responsibility" of the initiator that ultimately led to this significant transaction.

. . . . . . . . . . . . .

After Li Ye and Sun Xianjin returned to the hotel, Sun Xianjin asked Li Ye, "Brother, should you discuss this with your wife first, or..."

Li Ye interrupted, "No, let's go find Commander Zhou first, otherwise some people might say we're mixing public and private matters."

"."

Li Ye and Sun Xianjin found Commander Zhou and reiterated the contents of their discussions with Pavlov.

Commander Zhou frowned, and after a moment asked, "How can you guarantee that this method of transaction is in our best interest?"

Sun Xianjin paused for a moment, wanting to say, "Our dozen or so projects that we bought at rock-bottom prices on Da'e are proof of that," but in the end he slowly shook his head.

You lack responsibility yourself, yet you expect me to guarantee it for you? Am I some kind of beast of burden?!
Sun Xianjin could only say, "At present, we cannot be certain that this method is the most advantageous for us, but based on our experience in Moscow, it is relatively effective."

Commander Zhou glanced at Sun Xianjin, then at Li Ye: "How about we participate in this bidding process as normal and try our best?"

Li Ye was speechless.

Is this a question directed at me?

Li Ye didn't care at all. If you're willing to give it a try, then give it a try!
Back in his room, Li Ye told Wen Leyu about what had happened that day. Then his wife bluntly said, "Commander Zhou knows you can't take your money for free. If you could take it for free, he wouldn't hesitate!"
Therefore, we still need to consult with the capital authorities and get a clear answer from them.

"."

Li Ye grinned and smiled silently.

Even if he were willing to selflessly dedicate himself to the revival of China, Wen Leyu would not be willing, because that would be against the rules.

As long as my family has contributed money and effort, we deserve an explanation. Even if we've been scammed, we still need an explanation. Nobody should treat my man like a fool.

This is a statement that neither Liang Furu nor Commander Zhou can provide.
