1979 My Life in the Era

Chapter 335 Pushing the envelope
Ning Weidong didn't keep the secret. He just paused for a moment and continued, "We can agree to their conditions, but uncle..."

At this point, he looked at old Kirolev and said, "You must be the governor of the Far East. This is my condition. If you don't agree, forget it. At worst, we can give up the market in Europe."

Seryosha reacted at this moment, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at his father excitedly.

On the contrary, old Kirolev was more steady. He squinted his eyes and thought for a moment before slowly nodding and thanking Ning Weidong.

Ning Weidong's initiative to make this request was undoubtedly a big favor to him.

Given the current situation, if we really put forward this condition, Sergei will most likely agree to it.

Then the three of them discussed for a while, and Ning Weidong got up and left.

After sending Ning Weidong downstairs, Xie Liaosha returned to the study.

Ning Weidong was present just now, so he had some things to say. Now it was just the father and son. "Father, what did Ning Weidong say just now? What do you think he meant?"

Although compared with Ning Weidong and his father, Xie Liaosha is still a little immature, but he has been working hard for many years and is not a rookie.

What's more, Ning Weidong's unexpected concession this time, in which the only condition was to let old Kirov be the governor, but he himself did not want any benefits, was itself very unusual.

Old Kirolev pondered and said, "There is a saying in China that when something is out of the ordinary, there must be something wrong."

Old Kirolev spent several years in China and had a deep study of Chinese culture.

Seryosha frowned, not quite understanding.

Old Kirorev said: "Since Ning Weidong did something we don't understand, there must be some reason behind it that we don't know."

Seryosha said, "Dad, what do you think it will be?"

Old Kirolev shook his head slowly: "I don't know for now, but...from what I know about him, the Chinese never do business at a loss."

……

On the other side, thousands of kilometers away, is Sochi on the Black Sea.

Although the territory of the Sulian is vast, most of it is the cold and uninhabited area of ​​Xianberia, and the areas that are truly suitable for living are actually not large.

Especially in terms of seaside areas, only the Black Sea coast in the west and the area around Vladivostok in the Far East are barely acceptable for recuperation and vacation.

Therefore, Sochi, located on the Black Sea, has become one of the few holiday resorts in the country.

Inside a dark red all-wood holiday villa on the seaside in Sochi.

By the window facing the beach, two young men who had just returned from swimming were each drinking a glass of iced vodka.

One of them was Sergei, and the other was an old acquaintance of Ning Weidong, Yangovich, who had returned empty-handed from the Far East last time.

Just at this moment, a graceful blonde Slavic beauty came down from upstairs, stepping on the solid wooden stairs with a thudding sound.

Sergei looked over and said with a smile, "Kareliana, have they replied?"

The woman named Karenina came forward and handed over a telegram: "Yes, sir."

Although their looks and styles are completely different, Karenina always has a temperament similar to Anaiasna, which shows that they come from the same place.

Sergei did not read the telegram.

Karelena understood and continued, "They agreed, but with one condition..."

After listening to this, Sergei chuckled and said, "Letting old Kirolev be the governor, I thought they would be more tough."

A strange look flashed in Yangovich's eyes.

As someone who had fought Ning Weidong head-on, he subconsciously felt that Ning Weidong would not surrender so easily.

But he knew Sergei better and forced himself to swallow the reminder.

Since his last failure, Yangovic has had a hard time, and now he has learned to be more careful with his words and actions.

He even secretly hoped that Sergei would also be defeated by Ning Weidong, so that he would not appear incompetent.

Yangovich said: "Being tough requires strength as a foundation. Without strength, how can you be tough?"

"He's smart." Sergei sneered and was about to tell Karenina that she could reply with a yes.

Yangovich interrupted: "Sergey, if we ask them to move the factory here..."

Sergei raised his eyebrows and pondered. Yangovich's proposal was tempting, but once such a request was made, its nature changed completely.

Before, no matter how much profit they asked for, it could actually be negotiated.

But once the factory is involved, it would mean digging up Ning Weidong's roots, and it would be impossible for him to agree to it.

However, not agreeing does not mean that he cannot propose this condition.

Asking for prices all over the place and paying back the money on the ground.

Sergei weighed the pros and cons and said to Karelena, "Just do as Jangovich said."

Karelena nodded expressionlessly, and only looked at Yangovich meaningfully as she left.

Noticing her gaze, Yangovich turned his head to look, but she looked away and went upstairs.

……

A few hours later, with a bang, Seryosha slammed his fist on the table in anger.

"You are asking for more! This is too much!" Seryosha had just received a telegram from Sochi.

These things are not something that can be made public. To prevent eavesdropping, phone calls are definitely not allowed and telegrams must be encrypted.

Old Kiroryov also had a gloomy face. He did not expect Sergei to go further.

If it were true that he had been slapped in the face when he went to Moscow before, it would have been fine, but Sergei was just a junior, and he actually dared to humiliate him like this. This was intolerable.

However, old Kirorev's anger was only short-lived.

Then he calmed down and wondered what Sergei meant by this action.

Although Sergei is young, he is not stupid, otherwise he would not be valued by little Rokov.

Old Kirolev said to his son, "Call Ning Weidong and see what he means."

Seryosha responded.

A moment later, Ning Weidong received a call, and after listening to what Xie Liaosha said, he couldn't help but frown.

What comes to my mind is "pushing for an inch is too much".

But after a quick thought, Ning Weidong calmed down and said in a deep voice, "Agree."

"Uh..." Xie Liaosha was stunned. He didn't expect Ning Weidong to have this attitude.

Faced with Sergei's relentless pressure, he finally gave in.

He didn't understand what Ning Weidong was thinking, and he still looked incredulous until he hung up the phone.

Old Kirolev asked, "What did he say?"

Seryosha came back to his senses, licked his lips and said, "He agreed."

Old Kirorev frowned even deeper, muttering, "You agreed so easily?"

Seryosha was puzzled and asked, "Dad, what do you think he is thinking? If they build the factory in Ukrainian, they will definitely leave us behind in the future."

Old Kirov raised his eyebrows. How could Ning Weidong not understand this?

But I understood it and agreed to it, and that’s the key.

Old Kirolev said, "Repeat to me word for word what he just said."

Seryosha repeated it quickly, word for word.

Old Kirolev let out a "tsk" and carefully savored Ning Weidong's reply, catching a key word.

"He said that even if Sergey and his team were allowed to build the factory, it would take two years?"

Seryosha nodded.

Old Kirolev thought: "Two years! Two years..."
