The car giant started by marrying the daughter of the king

A lot of big things happened to the polar bear community in 1990.

These major events have had a huge impact on the historical development of polar bears.

In March 1990, the Third Extraordinary People's Congress of the Soviet Union passed the "Law on the Establishment of the Presidency and Amendments to the Constitution (Fundamental Law)", which decided to establish the presidency, abolish the legal leadership of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, and implement a multi-party system.

This move fundamentally changed the polar bears’ political system and laid the groundwork for its subsequent disintegration.

On March 1990, 3, the Supreme Soviet of Lithuania adopted a declaration on the restoration of independence, declaring independence from the polar bear.

This was the first country among the polar bear republics to declare independence, triggering a chain reaction among other republics and posing a serious challenge to the unity of the polar bears.

But what’s interesting is that in October 1990, the polar bear boss won the Nobel Peace Prize.

The award committee cited his contributions to arms reduction and easing international tensions.

In the polar bear country, people's lives have also begun to be greatly affected.

Because many people felt the change in the situation and began to make various small moves.

The rigid economic system itself naturally cannot fully meet the needs of the people.

The prices of various materials have risen sharply.

The welfare benefits of employees in various factories and research institutes are not guaranteed.

At this time, many people naturally began to think of ways to generate income for themselves.

The Ural Branch Metallurgical Research Institute is a well-known steel and other metal technology research institution in the country and has a long history.

In order to suppress the United States in all aspects including military technology, the polar bear has invested a lot of R&D resources in the development of new materials.

Especially when facing various material properties in extreme environments, higher requirements are placed on them.

After all, in many places where polar bears live, the temperature often drops to dozens of degrees below zero.

For general materials, the performance will change when reaching that temperature.

In this case, in order to develop better materials, various researches must be carried out naturally.

Conducting basic materials research is actually very expensive.

The key is that even if you spend a lot of money, sometimes there may not be any results, so ordinary companies dare not invest too much in this area.

But for polar bears, these are not a problem.

Under the national system, countless tests on various materials have been conducted in the past.

The archives are filled with countless test data and some material process and performance information.

Since the archive room at the back cannot hold all the information, there is a separate warehouse to store it.

Especially in that era, computer technology was not yet popular, and all kinds of information were recorded on paper.

This has led to a mountain of information piling up at the Ural Branch Metallurgical Research Institute.

"Chen, in order to study the properties of these materials, our institute has invested countless manpower and material resources in the past."

"If you buy it now at the same price as waste paper, I will absolutely not accept it."

As the head of the archives room, Alexander has not received a salary for three months.

This position itself does not bring any benefits and its status within the institute is not high.

Now their family can hardly make ends meet.

In this situation, Alexander naturally hoped to find some ways to increase his family's income so that he would have enough money to buy tomatoes, eggs and potatoes which were becoming increasingly expensive.

Relying on mountains to eat mountains, relying on water to draft water.

This rule applies everywhere.

Alexander naturally turned his attention to the various research materials in the archives.

There is a mountain of information, and even if half of it is sold, no one will notice it.

Few people would look for that information, especially the various materials accumulated over the past few decades.

The key is the time it takes to find out. Sometimes it is easier to just do an experiment.

However, Alexander tried many ways, but he couldn't think of a way to sell these materials at a high price.

Until someone from BMW Technology contacted him and expressed interest in the information.

"Alexander, these extremely old papers, no matter what is recorded on them, are no longer of any particular value."

"It would be most appropriate to treat it as waste paper and dispose of it."

"It's also the safest for you."

"Even if your superiors track you down, you will be able to give a reasonable explanation by then."

"Even if there is a problem, it is just a problem of mismanagement and nothing serious will happen."

Chen Chenxing came to the polar bear site in person this time because he felt Jiang Hui's attention to various experts and information on polar bears.

Since he was valued, he naturally took it seriously.

"I've already considered selling everything. Do you think I'm still worried about being held accountable later?"

"A lot of the steel that the institute had purchased before was sold at a low price, and everyone used the money to find a way to live in America."

"But what can you do with the money you offer from selling waste paper?"

Alexander said very dissatisfiedly.

If he had had no choice, he would not want to waste time talking to Chen Chenxing.

So much research material is going to be sold like waste paper?

He definitely can't accept it.

"Alexander, don't worry."

"Selling this information as waste paper is the safest for you and me, and is also the most suitable for transportation out of the country."

"But I will give you an additional check for $100 million. Are you satisfied with this?"

Chen Chenxing said with a calm smile.

At this moment, Alexander's attitude immediately changed.

"In order to study the properties of these materials, various new materials are developed."

"The cost of human and material resources invested in our institute in the past is more than $100 million, let alone $1 million."

"You want to buy it all back for $100 million?"

"You know, for some of the steel grades in there, you can take the information to the steel mill to directly guide production."

Alexander swallowed, obviously wanting to gain more benefits for himself.

No one would complain about having too many dollars.

Especially since he had already made up his mind to live in America, he wanted to make a fortune.

"Look at the current exchange rate of the dollar to the ruble on the black market."

"If you want rubles, I can give you 500 million rubles, which is more than your salary for hundreds of years."

Chen Chenxing rebuked Alexander with just one sentence.

Loan rubles, spend rubles.

This is what BMW Technology has done most in Polar Bear in recent years.

Chen Chenxing is very familiar with the changes in the ruble exchange rate.

"Two million dollars, if you give me another check for two million dollars."

"I can sell you all the latest information on various special steels developed in the research institute as waste paper."

"Some of the special steels in here have very advanced performance. They definitely contain what you need."

Alexander drank up the coffee in front of him and proposed his own new plan.

Chen Chenxing, who had already gotten a great deal, naturally did not hesitate any more. "Deal, but I can only provide 100 million US dollars first, and then provide the remaining 100 million US dollars after all the information is shipped."

"If the cooperation is pleasant, you can introduce me to other cooperation projects, and I can also provide you with additional benefits."

There's no need to beat around the bush when dealing with polar bear people.

Chen Chenxing expressed his thoughts directly.

BMW Group has built a special building as an archive room.

It can hold a lot of information.

It was obvious that Jiang Hui had already prepared for the arrival of these polar bear information.

The group not only commissioned talents with Russian language skills from partner institutions, but also recruited more than 200 Russian-speaking engineers and technicians from many factories in Northeast China in the past year.

One of the roles of these personnel in the future will be to translate various information on polar bears.

"Okay, happy cooperation!"

Alexander weighed the pros and cons and agreed to Chen Chenxing's plan.

Soon, both sides were afraid of any further complications and took action.

……

"Chief Engineer Cheng, a group of people from our technical department have been poached by Nanshan Iron and Steel Plant recently."

"And they poached 12 technicians in one go."

"Although some of the technicians are quite old and their technical level is average."

"But they are also valuable talents in our factory."

As the head of Baosteel's technical department, Li Dagang is now living a somewhat depressed life.

Originally, Baosteel had high expectations from its superiors and was to become a domestic leader in the steel industry.

This goal has been achieved to a certain extent.

However, with the emergence of Nanshan Steel Plant, their various special steel products have taken the lead over other domestic steel plants.

Even Baosteel cannot compare to it.

This is very uncomfortable.

The key point is that Nanshan Iron and Steel Plant poaches people from Baosteel from time to time.

It just so happened that the other party’s leader, Wu Ming, was previously Li Dagang’s subordinate.

This is really frustrating.

"Has Nanshan Steel Plant made any major moves recently?"

"Didn't they say they were going to expand into other metal products like aluminum alloys and titanium alloys? Wouldn't that mean they are not that competitive with us?"

Cheng Jianqiang didn't quite understand why Li Dagang was so angry today.

Baosteel has developed to the point where it is no longer that concerned about the resignation of some individuals.

The number of college students in China has increased in recent years, and the shortage is relatively less severe.

Especially for large enterprises like Baosteel, there is not such a shortage of college students.

The departure of some old technicians with somewhat backward ideas is simply insignificant.

"I don't quite understand it either, but this batch of technicians who were poached all have one thing in common, which is that they are basically from Anshan Iron and Steel Group to support our construction."

"All of them are fluent in Russian, and some have studied with polar bear experts or studied abroad in polar bear countries."

"After these people joined Baosteel, they were always out of tune with our overall atmosphere."

"Some of them don't even know basic English words, let alone Japanese."

Baosteel's technology was mainly introduced from Japan.

None of the equipment came from a polar bear.

Therefore, for Baosteel, knowing Russian is of no use at all.

No one would look up to these Russian-speaking talents.

Even because these people studied Russian, which was no longer relevant to future developments, they were discriminated against within Baosteel.

No wonder Nanshan Iron and Steel Plant poached them so easily this time.

"This is a bit strange. Nanshan Iron and Steel Plant did not poach other people, but only poached people who knew Russian."

"Did they get some equipment or technical information back from the polar bears?"

"I heard that the situation in Polar Bear is a bit chaotic. Many people have started to sell things in the area. They are said to have made a lot of money."

As the chief engineer of Baosteel, Cheng Jianqiang hears a lot of information.

It’s just that some of this information was just dinner table talk before, and no one took it too seriously after hearing it.

Now if we think about it again in light of some circumstances, it seems to have a slightly different meaning.

"That's possible. I heard that the BMW Group has recruited a lot of Polar Bear technicians."

“I guess some of the information was brought over from the polar bears.”

Li Dagang quickly felt that what Cheng Jianqiang described was most likely the final fact.

However, in his opinion, the world's most advanced steel technology is definitely not in polar bears.

Nanshan Iron and Steel Plant gave up importing new technologies from America, Germany or Japan, and instead chose to start from the polar bear.

The pressure on Baosteel in the future should not be that great.

……

"Boss Jiang, the technical data for the first carriage has arrived successfully."

"Various materials will be transported here one after another."

Zhou Yun knew that Jiang Hui attached great importance to getting information from the polar bear.

So many things are followed up personally.

For example, the purchase of raw materials is usually brought back by sea transportation.

But for technical data, the final choice is to transport it by train.

This way it is less likely to be damaged.

After all, a lot of technical information itself has a history of many years.

It would be a pity if the boat gets damp and some information cannot be seen clearly.

You know, the data recorded in a stack of information may be the result of various tests that take several months and a lot of money.

These tests may not have direct significance, but without doing them there is no way to rule out some options.

Or there is no way to draw accurate conclusions.

So all possibilities should be tried.

Material testing is itself a process of continuous trial and error.

"First, file these materials in different categories, and then translate them into Chinese step by step."

"The archives need to be managed by dedicated professionals, and the recruitment of Russian-speaking talents needs to be further expanded."

“After these materials are translated, they will be electronically archived.”

"In the future, our technicians will be able to quickly find this information through computer networking, which will be of the greatest significance to our research and development work."

Jiang Hui has his own ideas on how to use these technical materials.

Some basic material research data will be of great reference value even decades later. (End of this chapter)
