1979 My Life in the Era

Chapter 331 Malice from Moscow

Zhao Ruyi's political sensitivity was quite high. When she heard what Ning Weidong said, she immediately worried, "What's wrong over there?"

Ning Weidong said: "Nothing, it's just that someone is jealous, and we talked about it a long time ago."

Zhao Ruyu nodded slowly. In fact, Ning Weidong had already discussed this issue with her.

It is said that if too many electrical appliances are sold to Speedlink in the future, something bad will definitely happen.

The saying that money can move people's hearts is never said in vain.

Vodka is still a small-scale business, and although its production has increased in the past two years, it is mainly supplied to the Far East and Baikal, with a small amount circulated to Central Asia.

Although the profits are not small, they are generally very limited in scope.

But household appliances, mainly color TVs, are different.

The unit price of household appliances is high, and a certain level of consumption is required. However, Sulian’s wealthiest regions are all in Europe, and it would not work if it still clings to the Far East and Baikal.

Once these home appliances arrive in Europe and people realize the profits they can bring, they will inevitably be coveted by certain people.

Therefore, after receiving the news from Seryosha, Ning Weidong was not surprised.

And after two years, it's time for him to go again.

……

In the following days, Ning Weidong began to prepare.

First, he made arrangements for things at the company, and then said hello to Bai Fengyu and Shi Xiaonan.

Just as he was about to set off, he received a second telegram from Seryosha.

Although nothing was said in the telegram, Ning Weidong could see a hint of urgency.

Without mentioning the content of the telegram, the fact that two telegrams were sent in succession within a few days is very telling.

However, Ning Weidong was not in a hurry. Although Seryosha must be very anxious, since it was not clearly stated in the telegram, it was probably not urgent.

Ning Weidong still went to Heilongjiang Province as originally planned.

After meeting Ning Weiguo here, I went to visit the soft drink factory.

After two years, Ning Wei looks much more mature.

Live the Qi and nourish the body.

In the past two years, Ning Weidong has been on his own here. Although he is young, he has developed a certain demeanor, shed his banditry, and looks more like a leader.

He also made the soft drink factory very successful.

To be honest, Ning Weidong's management level is average, and Ning Weidong hired him mainly because he is loyal and reliable.

But then again, there is actually no need to test the management level of a soda factory. The formula and production process of Coke are all copied from Speedlink.

There is no need to worry about sales, as the products can be directly loaded onto trains and shipped to Sulian after production.

At first, people in China did not accept this strange-tasting soda and sold it at a very high price.

But the Northeast of this era is still in its final afterglow. The workers in the cities have a high standard of living, are less stressed and are more willing to try new things.

Some people are curious about this newly emerging foreign soda, and it is sold at a high price and is very prestigious, so during festivals, many people buy it.

The current output of the soda factory is actually in short supply.

After staying in Harbin for three days, Ning Weidong took the train west again and crossed the border to Sulian.

Baikalsk railway station.

This train station, which was almost abandoned two years ago, has become prosperous again in the past two years.

Domestic vodka, cola, and various household appliances that have been imported since last year all transit here.

The train that Ning Weidong took was a special train loaded with these goods.

There are twelve carriages in total on this train, all of which are fully loaded.

There are two such trains every week.

Ning Weidong got off the train and stretched his muscles.

The only bad thing about taking a train in this era is that it is too slow, especially since Ning Weidong has experienced high-speed rail.

Trucks are slower than buses, and driving 50 kilometers is considered fast. This trip from Harbin is more than 700 kilometers and took a day and a night.

But at this moment, someone suddenly called out "Dear".

Ning Weidong turned his head and saw Anaiasna jogging towards him and pounced on him.

Even though they hadn't seen each other for a long time, Ning Weidong didn't feel strange and gave her a kiss.

Although he and Anaiasna didn't have any feelings for each other, they had real interests in common. Now Anaiasna was Ning Weidong's anchor point in Speedlink, and also a nail that Speedlink had put in Ning Weidong's side.

"Did you miss me?" Ning Weidong teased and touched Anaiasna's face.

"Honey, of course I did. I couldn't sleep at night because of thinking about it." Anaiasna hugged Ning Weidong tightly again, as if she wanted to melt into his body.

Ning Weidong consoled him and said, "By the way, I visited your mother and elder brother in Harbin when I came here."

Anaiasna's mother and elder brother were settled in Heilongjiang Province by Ning Weidong.

When talking about her relatives, Anaiasna's heart warmed up: "Thank you, dear."

Although they were far apart, Anaiasna was able to communicate with them frequently and knew that Ning Weidong had kept his promise.

After arriving in China, her eldest brother arranged a job in a state-owned factory, with a monthly salary of more than 80 yuan, which was considered quite high.

He was also given a large tiled house of more than 50 square meters, which was the engineer's room in the factory and was considered quite upscale in that era.

With this condition, her eldest brother also got married, and last year he gave her a niece.

Anaiasna was also surprised that Ning Weidong could take the time to go and see it in person this time.

Although I can't say I was very touched, I understood that this was Ning Weidong's attitude.

After reminiscing about the past, Ning Weidong asked, "Why didn't Xie Liaosha come?"

Ning Weidong discovered it as soon as he got off the car.

Normally, since he hadn't come for such a long time, and Seryosha had sent two telegrams in a row to call him, Seryosha should have come to pick him up no matter what.

Now he hasn’t come, I’m afraid something has happened.

As expected, when mentioning Seryosha, Anaiasna's expression became solemn: "He was originally going to come this time, but he suddenly informed me yesterday that he could not come, and asked me to bring you a letter."

As she said that, she took out an envelope from her handbag and handed it to Ning Weidong.

Ning Weidong frowned and opened the envelope while asking, "Did he say anything?"

Anaiasna said, "I was not told the details, but it should have been written in the letter. But from what I have heard, it seems to be about old Kirolev being transferred back to the Far East."

Ning Weidong remained expressionless, but he was terrified in his heart.

They had previously discussed transferring old Kirolev back to the Far East. Although Baikal is also at the state level and its area is twice as large as that of the Far East, the populations of the two sides are incomparable.

There are nearly 30 million people in the Far East, but less than 10 million in Baikal.

Previously, establishing a foothold in Baikal Oblast was a last resort.

But in the past two years, as the vodka trade began to explode, the huge profits generated made Bakibanov and his family very satisfied.

Correspondingly, old Kirolev's status also rose. He invested a large amount of money and connections and finally seized the opportunity.

During the Spring Festival this year, Ning Weidong received a letter from Seryosha, saying that the matter was almost certain and they could just go through the formalities.

Unexpectedly, something went wrong.

While thinking, Ning Weidong opened the letter and read it quickly.

In the letter, Seryosha apologized again and again because the problem with old Governor Kirolev was in Moscow. He and his son learned the news the night before. After sending the letter to Anaiasna the next day, they immediately flew to Moscow.

However, the letter did not specify who wanted to detain old Kirolev or what excuse they used.

But the situation seems quite serious. If old Kirolev is stuck this time, it will be a setback for Ning Weidong.

As the person who directly liaises with Ning Weidong on the Sulian side, whether old Kiroryov can return to the Far East this time is not just a matter of position.

The symbolism is huge.

And since Moscow is involved, it means that the deterrent power of Chirnenko alone cannot deter these people unless some specific measures are taken.

Or maybe they felt that this level of intensity alone would not be enough to alarm Chirnenko.

Furthermore, others may not know, but Ning Weidong knows clearly that it is already May of 1982, and if nothing unexpected happens, Polezhne will be offline in a few months.

My health is not very good now, and everyone close to the power center knows it.

At such a sensitive moment, it is even less likely that Qilin will act rashly.

Just at this time, the electronics factory here began to increase its production capacity.

The incident with old Kirolev this time was probably also due to this.

Moreover, the other party knew clearly that he was from Qiernenke's faction, but still dared to use these means. He definitely had no good intentions.

Thinking of this, Ning Weidong estimated that old Kirolev and Seryosha would most likely return empty-handed from their trip to Moscow this time.

Now that the other party has taken action, what's the point if we let them deal with it easily?
