Era: Starting from divorce from female college student

Chapter 116, Rejection (Subscribe)
September 1, 1958, the 18th day of the seventh lunar month, is also a good day.

Sheng Kejia brought back a Holstein bull from Daxing Farm. From today on, Zheng Damao and Wang Shunfa will be responsible for breeding the seven female cattle.

Both Zheng Damao and Wang Shunfa followed Zhao Mancang for a period of time and had some relevant experience.

Because Zhao Mancang had spoken, Yang Shourong, Wu Huamin and others didn't say anything.

What's more, Zhao Mancang will also keep an eye on this matter.

There was nothing to do early in the morning, so Zhao Mancang was idle until half past nine, and then he rode his black horse to the Jundushan breeding farm.

The thirty-five musk deer were in good condition. The apprentice keepers, including Liu Baochan, were very obedient and did not make any mistakes.

Just after 2:30 in the afternoon, Han Xiaochuan appeared at the gate of Jundushan Breeding Farm, panting.

He also came here on horseback, but he was almost exhausted to death.

Horse riding is not a sport that most people can bear.

"Brother Mancang, someone is looking for you. Director Yang called me over to ask you, can you leave now?"

Zhao Mancang nodded and said, of course he could leave.

Liu Baochan, Zheng Haichao, Yuan Xiaoxia and other breeder apprentices have not yet fully mastered the contents of the booklet, so Zhao Mancang can let them recite it by themselves and familiarize themselves with it, and he can leave at any time.

On the way back to the steel plant, Han Xiaochuan couldn't keep up at all because he could only keep the horse at a speed of 40 kilometers. If it went faster, he couldn't bear it.

Zhao Mancang's physical fitness is extremely strong, so even if he maintains a speed of 70 kilometers per hour, he remains calm.

At the steel plant, in Director Yang's office, when Zhao Mancang walked in, he saw several strangers, but also two acquaintances he had met before.

"Director Yang, are you looking for me?"

When Yang Shourong saw him come in, he began to introduce him.

The two acquaintances were Shen Baoai and Zhou Xiangxian, whom I had met a few days ago, while the stranger was Han Xianwen, an animal expert from the Beijing Zoo, and Tian Jiping, the zoo's deputy director.

After knowing their identities, Zhao Mancang had just exchanged a few pleasantries with them when Shen Baoai took the lead and said:

"Doctor Zhao, I really didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable about animal treatment. I heard from Expert Han that you once visited the Beijing Zoo and noticed a tiger there had cavities."

You know, Zhao Mancang was just outside at the time and did not get close to the tiger, so how did he make that judgment?

This is why Han Xianwen, Tian Jiping, Shen Baoai and others are curious.

Zhao Mancang was even more curious. How did they confirm that it was him?

He had indeed taken Lin Wan and Lin Huijun to the zoo before. After all, Zhao Mancang had promised the little ones that.

But she didn't expect that the tiger with rotten teeth would suddenly go crazy and roar continuously, which scared Lin Huijun so much that she cried for a long time.

"I just happened to guess."

After a humble remark, Zhao Mancang heard Han Xianwen, who liked to argue, say:
"Doctor Zhao, that's definitely not a blind guess. As an animal expert, I've studied Siberian tigers, South China tigers, and other large insects for many years, but I couldn't see or hear that tiger had tooth decay."

"You are a doctor, so you may have some talents or abilities that we, half-baked ones, don't have."

Zhao Mancang was surprised after hearing the compliment, when he heard Han Xianwen continue:

"It's like this. Before we came here today, we did ask about you, Dr. Zhao. We know you have a great talent in medicine, especially surgery."

“So I hope you can help me.”

The Beijing Zoo rarely deals with steel mills, so Han Xianwen kept a low profile.

After all, you are asking someone to do something, so you must show your attitude first.

Zhao Mancang just smiled and waited for the other party to finish speaking. Anyway, the leader Yang Shourong was right next to him, so he didn't need to respond in a hurry.

According to Han Xianwen, he hoped that Zhao Mancang could go with them to the southwest.

Because there are many wild animals in the southwest, accidents are inevitable during the capture process.

But zoos need living animals, not injured or dead ones.

In addition, there is a high possibility that the arresting personnel will be injured in the process.

If Zhao Mancang were to escort them, the safety factor of their team would be greatly improved.

Hearing about this, Zhao Mancang glanced at Director Yang, smiled and shook his head:
"Expert Han, I may need to apologize to you. I haven't had much time recently. I have a lot of work to do."

He briefly talked about the dairy cow improvement project, musk deer breeding project, etc., and how he would be summoned by Union Hospital from time to time.

Besides, he was receiving two salaries from the steel mill, and Yang Shourong and the others would certainly not be happy to let him go to such a faraway place in the southwest and not come back for ten days or half a month.

Besides, the Southwest is so far away, and it may take ten days or half a month to get back.

Without waiting for Han Xianwen to say anything, Yang Shourong also echoed:
"I'm really sorry, Dr. Zhao has been very busy lately and may not be able to help you."

It is impossible to get everything you want!
What about the zoo?

If it interferes with the steel plant's production tasks, even if the zoo director comes in person, he will have to stand aside.

In today's country, everything is centered around industrial development, and everything else is empty talk.

Some time ago, Shen Baoai had invited Zhao Mancang, hoping that the latter could go with them to the country of Sichuan to help establish a musk deer breeding farm.

In fact, to be precise, the country of Sichuan in the southwest is also planning to establish a musk deer breeding farm this year.

Because there is a great demand for musk in China, but the production is very low.

Most importantly, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, many experts began to study how to collect musk without killing the musk deer.

In the past one or two years, the Institute of Pharmaceutical Research has finally invented a method of collecting musk by cleaning the ears.

The traditional method is to hunt musk deer to obtain musk. Almost every year from winter to the following spring, after catching an adult male musk deer, the glandular sac is directly cut off with the skin, the hair is cut short and dried in the shade, and the musk shell can be obtained.

The current method of collecting musk by cleaning the ears is to collect the musk ten days after the male musk deer enters the musk secretion period, that is, when the musk becomes of normal color and fragrance.

The whole process of collecting incense is very simple. First, grab the musk deer's hind two limbs, then grab the front two limbs, and let the musk deer lie horizontally and fix it on the incense collecting bed.

The person who takes the incense pinches the base of the sachet with the index and middle fingers of his left hand, presses the opening of the sachet with his thumb to expand it, and then uses the spoon in his right hand to dig deep into the sachet to take the incense.

This method will not harm the male musk deer.

Even if the cyst opening becomes congested or damaged during the process, you can simply apply anti-inflammatory ointment.

However, the entire process still requires the use of alcohol for disinfection.

It is precisely because of this method of obtaining scent that artificial breeding of musk deer becomes possible.

In the history of the original time and space, this year was the first year of musk deer breeding.

Zhao Mancang rejected Shen Baoai's invitation at that time, let alone now?

After hearing this, Han Xianwen and Tian Jiping tried to persuade him for a while, but finally had to leave.

At this moment, Shen Baoai said to Zhao Mancang:
"Doctor Zhao, how about you take some time to visit our country of Sichuan and help us build a musk deer breeding farm? Is that okay?"

Shen Baoai still did not give up and made another request.

The fact that Zhao Mancang was able to bring back so many musk deer from the Northeast shows how strong he is.

However, Shen Baoai received a telegram from Sichuan yesterday, saying that three of the eight musk deer he had raised had died.

This mortality rate is very high, ridiculously high.

It is not easy to catch a live musk deer.

Either you hire someone to arrest him, or you send someone to arrest him yourself. Either way, it takes money and time.

We originally hired someone to capture them, but that person spent half a month and finally captured twenty-three musk deer. However, many of them died in the end, leaving only eight.

The breeding farm purchased eight musk deer, but within a few days, three of them died.

It seems that it is only a matter of time before the entire army is wiped out.

Shen Baoai knew that the Chuanfu Kingdom had hired university experts and professors to help, but it was still uncertain whether the remaining five musk deer could be saved.

Therefore, Shen Baoai invited Zhao Mancang again, hoping that the latter could help.

"Comrade leader, if my leader lets me go, then I will go. If he doesn't let me go, then there is nothing I can do."

Zhao Mancang spread his hands and passed the blame to Yang Shourong.

The latter was helpless and hadn't said anything yet. Zhou Xiangxian on the side started chatting with Zhao Mancang about the scenery in the southwest.

For example, places like Jiuzhaigou have the characteristics of the southwest and are extremely beautiful.

And there are giant pandas!
Currently, giant pandas are only found in Sichuan Province. Although there are giant pandas in the Beijing Zoo, they cannot be compared with those in the southwest.

And most importantly, giant pandas can be given to foreign countries as diplomatic gifts.

From this point of view, the importance of giant pandas is beyond doubt.

Zhou Xiangxian wanted to use this method to attract Zhao Mancang to Sichuan and Shu, accept Shen Baoai's invitation, and assist Sichuan and Shu in establishing a musk deer breeding base.

To be precise, Beijing is actually not very suitable for establishing a musk deer breeding base.

It’s just that Zhao Mancang has the support of several leaders including Xing Shuqi, and with Zhao Mancang’s own technology and medical skills, he is able to protect the musk deer breeding base.

On the other hand, the geographical environment of Sichuan and Shu is unique and the resources are relatively abundant.

However, the lack of talents like Zhao Mancang has led to the ill-fated fate of musk deer farms, and even an uncertain future.

In the end, it was Yang Shourong who temporarily delayed Shen Baoai and sent them away on the pretext that Xing Shuqi and the others were not there.

Shen Baoai knew that he didn't have enough chips, so he went back to think about it and see how to invite Zhao Mancang to go to Sichuan.

After leaving the factory director's office, Zhao Mancang went to the breeding room.

"Da Mao, what's going on?"

In the breeding room, Zheng Damao was feeding the Holstein bull from Daxing Farm. The food was all grain, which showed that it had been given enough feed.

If the Holstein bulls are not fed well, it will be difficult to breed the female cattle successfully, and in the end Zheng Damao and his team will be blamed.

"Team Leader Zhao, you're here. I'm feeding it, but it's really good at eating. This is already the third bucket."

Zheng Damao looked up and saw that it was Zhao Mancang. He immediately grinned respectfully.

There was some heartache in his tone, because the Holstein bulls were not from their steel plant, so it would be a waste to feed them so well.

But if I don’t feed it this way, it won’t work. In short, it’s very contradictory.

"Haha, feed it well, this time it depends on you two."

Zhao Mancang smiled and walked around the breeding room. He was surprised to see Jiang Dayong chatting with Wu Huamin.

It seems that Jiang Dayong and Wu Huamin have a pretty good relationship.

"Old Zhao, you've been really amazing lately."

When Jiang Dayong saw Zhao Mancang, his expression was very complicated.

In June or before June, Zhao Mancang was just a level five breeder.

But now, Zhao Mancang is about to become an associate chief physician with a monthly salary of more than 200 yuan.

It is said that there are no secrets in the capital, and this is really true.

Zhao Mancang's experience at Union Hospital had long been spread by Wei Sirong.

Now almost the entire steel plant knows about this.

It's only been less than two days since this happened, but it shows how fast and horrifyingly rumors can spread.

Hearing Jiang Dayong's compliment, Zhao Mancang smiled modestly and echoed a few words. After chatting for a while, he left.

It’s not that he has no common topics with the other party, but the other party’s tone is sour, and Zhao Mancang can’t stay any longer.

Didn’t you see that Wu Huamin next to him also looked very envious?
You know, even now, Wu Huamin is still the director of the breeding room and is Zhao Mancang's immediate superior.

But as a director, his salary was much less than Zhao Mancang's.

Once Zhao Mancang gets the salary of an associate chief physician plus the salary of a level six breeder, wow, that would be too high.

After leaving the breeding room, Zhao Mancang couldn't help but think: Maybe Xing Shuqi and the other two didn't talk to me about salary increase in the past two days. It's probably because they hope that this matter can ferment further?

After all, only in this way will other workers be more receptive when Zhao Mancang is given a raise in the future.

Just when Zhao Mancang returned to the clinic and was about to go fishing before leaving get off work, several foreigners came to the entrance of the clinic.

To be precise, these foreigners were Moscow engineers such as Kiriakov, Kotolovsky, and Dmitry.

"Comrade Zhao, you're finally here. I have good news for you. Venediktuo can now walk on his own."

Seeing Zhao Mancang coming, Kiriakov and others immediately stood up happily and said with expressions of gratitude.

If it weren't for Zhao Mancang, Venedikotto would have been declared dead.

"Well, that's a good thing indeed."

Zhao Mancang smiled and said politely, it's just slacking off anyway, it's the same as chatting with them.

However, Kiriakov and the others did not come here simply to inform Zhao Mancang of the news, but hoped that he could attend a dance party tonight.

When he heard what kind of dance party it was, Zhao Mancang shook his head.

In the 1950s, influenced by Moscow, there were really many dances in Beijing.

In Zhao Mancang's opinion, a lot of music from this era is not pleasant at all.

It’s not that their melodies are bad, but the sound is rough and lacks technological content.

Then there are the dances of this era, which are simply a torment for Zhao Mancang.

He would rather go home and sleep with Lin Wan in his arms than go to the dance.

But Kiriakov and others said that the ball was just a ball, and if Zhao Mancang didn't want to dance, that was fine. However, it was not their intention to attend the ball, but the leaders above gave them such a task.

The main purpose is to discuss something with Zhao Mancang.

Hearing that there was something that needed to be done to trouble him, Zhao Mancang couldn't help but show curiosity.

Is there anything I can do to deserve such an invitation?

In that case, go and listen.

The other party was very arrogant, but Zhao Mancang had no choice but to agree.

There is no way, after all, Moscow is indeed the boss of this era.
Even if Zhao Mancang doesn't agree now, Yang Shourong will probably come over later and ask him to participate.

So, it’s better to agree to it directly.

But he couldn't go home for dinner at night.

Damn dance party!!!
At the gate of the steel plant, Zhao Mancang found Han Xiaochuan and asked him to help go to Heizhima Hutong to tell his mother-in-law that he would not be going home for dinner tonight.

Lin Wan will definitely go to Heizhima Hutong to pick up Lin Huijun after get off work, so she can just ask Han Xiaochuan to help make that trip first.

This is the benefit of having a good relationship with the security department: they are really happy to help when you need help.

When it was time to get off work in the afternoon, Zhao Mancang got into Kiriakov and his colleagues' car and headed straight to the vicinity of Jianguomen.

The good thing about Moscow engineers is that they have cars to go out.

There's nothing I can do about it. After all, he's an engineer.
Zhao Mancang could only eat, drink and ride for free, and he didn't know when he would be able to own a car.

Near Jianguomen, the car stopped in front of an I-shaped red building. This kind of floor is full of the characteristics of the times. This characteristic is actually the architectural characteristics of the Moscow style.

Following Kotorovsky and the others into the building, after entering the first floor, they went directly to their destination, a relatively large room.

As Zhao Mancang and the others walked in, they found that there were already quite a few people inside.

A Western-style buffet, you can take whatever you want to eat, as much as you want, as long as you don’t waste any food.

In addition to the people from Moscow, there are many people like Zhao Mancang.

But unlike Zhao Mancang, these people look gentle and polite, and their clothes are more fashionable and avant-garde.

He was nothing like Zhao Mancang, who came over wearing the standard work clothes of a steel factory worker, with a country bumpkin air, which was in stark contrast to the surroundings.

Although Kiriakov and his people worked in the steel plant, they wore Lenin suits, which were naturally different from Zhao Mancang's work clothes.

Besides, he is from Moscow, and his appearance alone is enough.

If Zhao Mancang had not come into the large ballroom with Kiriakov and the others, he would have been questioned by the soldiers at the door.

After Zhao Mancang came in, he was soon left alone because Kiriakov and the others had companions and ran away without him.

In response to this, Zhao Mancang found something to fill his stomach first.

"Damn it! I finally get to eat seafood. It's really not easy."

Looking at the lobsters, crabs, fish, etc. on the plate, Zhao Mancang's eyes suddenly lit up.

It has been several months since I traveled through this world, but I have never eaten seafood.

In fact, this is very normal, because this is the capital, not a coastal city, so it is normal that there is no seafood.

It's not the time period of later generations, when various preservation technologies emerge one after another, and there are seafood farms even inland, so there is no shortage of seafood in the country.

Even in many small towns in the 18th tier, you can find seafood restaurants serving king crabs, big blue dragons, etc.

In the fifties today, being able to eat enough is already a very happy thing, so why would you want to eat seafood?

Dried seafood such as seaweed, scallops, kelp, and salted fish are relatively rare, let alone other things?
After seeing so much seafood, Zhao Mancang quickly put a lot of it on his plate.

Just as he was about to find a place to sit down and eat with two plates full of seafood, someone next to him gave him a look of disgust and stopped him.

"Hey, how did you get in here? And you brought so much seafood? You think you can eat it openly? What's your name? Which unit are you from? This is too much. It's a disgrace to us Chinese people."

Zeng Zhijun stopped Zhao Mancang angrily, spitting everywhere and shouting at the latter's face.

"Why should I explain to you? How did I get in? Why don't you ask the security guards at the door? Are you sane? You actually suspect that the security guards at the door didn't do their job properly and let me in. You wouldn't say such a thing unless you've had a 10-year cerebral thrombosis. You're bringing shame to us Chinese people."

Zhao Mancang didn't indulge the other party at all, and retorted:

"If you're crazy, go to the hospital and don't embarrass yourself here."

"This is a Western buffet. You can take as much as you want. No one will care about you. Why do you care about me?"

"You're so obsessed with your reputation that you'd rather starve to death than eat a little more. I'm not like you. And I see that there's a dark cloud over you. I'm afraid you'll have a bloody disaster soon!"

After saying that, he didn't care that the other person was in a daze, he just bumped into him and then found a place to sit down.

It’s true, Zeng Zhijun was really stunned by Zhao Mancang’s attack.

At this time, groups of Moscow people and several of Zeng Zhijun's companions had also gathered around.

Even one of the security personnel at the door walked over and prepared to ask what was going on.

Zeng Zhijun reacted, his face flushed red, and he rushed straight to where Zhao Mancang was, angrily:

"Stand up right here! What gives you the right to say there's something wrong with my brain?"

"You're so ugly, yet you wear glasses to pretend to be refined. Go away and don't spoil my appetite."

With just one sentence, Zhao Mancang once again defeated Zeng Zhijun.

The latter suddenly became angry and was about to step forward to take the two plates, but was caught by Zhao Mancang with his quick eyes and hands.

Then, Zhao Mancang pushed back with a little force, and Zeng Zhijun fell backwards, knocking over two tables.

For a moment, the scene became chaotic and another security officer came.

Two security personnel came to control the scene. One of them, Pan Qingzhen, asked Zhao Mancang why he hit people?

"Comrade, please look carefully. He was the one who tried to touch my plate, not me." Zhao Mancang was so angry that he laughed.

"Even if that's the case, you can't just hit people here. It's shameful. We should unite, not fight among ourselves."

Hearing Pan Qingzhen's words, Zhao Mancang took a deep breath and said:

"First, it was that comrade who came to bother me first. I ignored him, but he was so shameless as to come up and ask for trouble."

"Secondly, everyone saw very clearly just now that it was the other party who made the first move, not me."

"Third, you are the security department, not someone else's watchdog. Please first clarify your identity and think before you speak, okay?"

Pan Qingzhen also realized that Zhao Mancang's sharp tongue was indeed not something that ordinary people could withstand.

Before Pan Qingzhen could say anything, a leader came over.

But this leader obviously also stood on Zeng Zhijun's side. After understanding the whole story, he blamed Zhao Mancang instead, asking why he didn't finish eating first before coming to get it?

"I'm sorry, boss. I didn't know the rule here is that you have to finish one piece before taking another. In that case, I'll put it back first."

Zhao Mancang apologized exaggeratedly, with a sincere look on his face but a sarcastic tone, to vent his dissatisfaction.

However, at this time, Kiriakov and his men appeared with a man who looked like a Moscow leader.

Alfred had already learned Zhao Mancang's identity from Kiriakov and others, so as soon as he opened his mouth, he stood on the latter's side.

why?
No matter what Zeng Zhijun's identity is, in Alfred's opinion, Zhao Mancang is more important.

First of all, Zeng Zhijun is only the deputy section chief of a department in Beijing. His position is average and not a full-time position, let alone his power.

After all, the level of today's ball can be said to be very low, so the identities of the guests are very ordinary.

Secondly, Zhao Mancang was the one who was invited by Kiriakov and others, so no matter what, Alfred had to stand on Zhao Mancang's side.

Finally, Zhao Mancang is a doctor. Without mentioning his achievements at Union Hospital, it can be said that when he was at Friendship Hospital, he brought Venedikotto, who had been declared dead by Sergei Salyukov, a doctor at Friendship Hospital, back to life.

He also performed the first craniotomy in China.

According to Sergei Salyukov, Zhao Mancang has become invincible in the field of craniotomy worldwide just by this operation.

If Alefred still doesn't understand the meaning of this sentence, then there is no need for him to be the leader of Kiriakov and others. He should go back to Siberia and mine.

After hearing what Alfred said, Zeng Zhijun, Pan Qingzhen and others felt it was incredible: Why?

They didn't quite understand why Alfred wanted to protect Zhao Mancang, who was wearing the standard uniform of a steel factory worker. After all, from the latter's clothes, it could be seen that Zhao Mancang was not an intellectual at all, but just a worker.

Although Zhao Mancang looks fair, tall and handsome, clothes can't lie.

Can ordinary work clothes be the same as normal Lenin suits or Zhongshan suits?

They are definitely different, there is no way to compare them.

What does it matter if they don’t understand?

Zeng Zhijun looked at Zhao Mancang with an expression as ugly as if he had eaten shit, but he still had to force a smile.

"Why is he wearing a uniform when he has the backing of Alefred, the Moscow expert? And he's grabbing two plates of seafood at once. He's starving."

At this moment, Zeng Zhijun was heartbroken, but there was nothing he could do. After all, Zhao Mancang was so awesome.

Today's dance was originally organized by Alfred, who is the owner of this place.

Therefore, even if Zeng Zhijun had any dissatisfaction, he could do nothing about it.

Moreover, his leaders were silent at this time, obviously following Alfred's opinion.

In the end, the farce ended with Zeng Zhijun's apology.

Zhao Mancang is not necessarily aggressive. It is better to forgive others when you can.

Although Zeng Zhijun is obviously a sheepdog, this is Alfred's territory after all, so Zhao Mancang still needs to give him face.

Besides, he wasn't sure what Alfred's purpose was, so there was no need to show off too much.

After everyone left, Zhao Mancang sat leisurely opposite Alefred and the others, listening to their conversation while finishing two plates of seafood.

Alfred's intention in looking for him was very simple. He first praised him, then talked about many things about Moscow, and finally made a direct invitation, hoping that Zhao Mancang could go to Moscow for further studies.

Because Zhao Mancang is not a college student. It would be better if Zhao Mancang were a college student.

With Zhao Mancang's expertise in craniotomy, he can definitely go to Moscow to be a teacher.

But if you are not a college student and don’t speak Russian, it will be a bit troublesome.

But it doesn't matter. Alfred said that as long as Zhao Mancang agrees, he can provide Zhao Mancang with an interpreter.

During the previous greetings, I had already said that Moscow is a nice place with a rich life.

In particular, Alfred also said that with Zhao Mancang's medical skills, his salary in Moscow would be at least 1,300 rubles per month.

In the 1950s, the ruble was a very stable currency and had a high value.

One US dollar is equivalent to 0.9 rubles, and one US dollar is equivalent to 2.46 yuan.

However, it should be made clear that the exchange rate between the US dollar and the RMB is only a reference value and is not counted.

why?

Because it was the 1950s, Sam, William, Kimura and others did not trade with the country.

Without trade, the so-called exchange rate is just a reference.

In fact, one ruble can be exchanged for 1.1 US dollar, or 182 yuan.

When talking about foreign exchange, we have to mention the background of this era.

Since 1953, Moscow has begun to assist us in industrialization construction, which involves the issue of how to pay the salaries of Moscow engineers such as Venediktov, Kiriakov, and Dmitry.

At first, Moscow demanded that the salaries of Moscow experts such as Venediktov be paid entirely in rubles.

If calculated based on the above exchange rate of one ruble to one hundred and eighty-two yuan, this would require a lot of foreign exchange.

However, we were short of foreign exchange at that time. How could we have so many rubles to pay the salaries of experts like Alfred?

Finally, after many negotiations, Moscow agreed to use RMB and some commodities for payment.

At the same time, it is still necessary to pay these experts "lost wages" and various other hidden benefits that cannot be directly priced, such as reception fees, entertainment fees, accommodation fees, book and newspaper fees, transportation fees, etc.

Therefore, if we calculate carefully, the salary given to these Moscow experts is actually much more than 182 yuan per ruble.

In other words, Zhao Mancang's monthly salary of 1,300 rubles in Moscow is equivalent to 236,600 yuan in RMB.

Definitely a high salary.

Even if Zhao Mancang only earned 1,300 rubles a month in Moscow, he would still be considered a high-paid person.

According to the salary standards in Moscow at the time, engineers earned about 900 to 1,300 rubles per month, professors and academicians earned 10,000 rubles per month, and ordinary workers earned around 800 to 3,000 rubles per month.

The highest-paid workers at the time were Stakhanovite miners and steelworkers, whose salaries sometimes reached 8,000 rubles.

But most of them were ordinary workers. In 1953, the national average wage in Moscow was 719 rubles.

而当时莫斯科的物价，大概就是黑面包1卢布1公斤、白面包3卢布1公斤、牛肉12.5卢布1公斤、鱼7.1卢布1公斤、牛奶 2.24卢布1公斤。

Therefore, in Alfred's opinion, he has already offered such a high salary, so Zhao Mancang will definitely agree to it happily, right?

Zhao Mancang, who was well fed and satisfied, saw Alfred looking forward to it, and was very confident that he would definitely agree to the other party's request.

However, Zhao Mancang smiled and shook his head:

"I'm sorry, Alefred. I'm still used to staying in Beijing. I can't adapt to life abroad. Thank you for your hospitality. I quite like this seafood, but it's okay to enjoy it occasionally. Don't eat too much, otherwise it will easily lead to increased uric acid and symptoms such as gout."

"It's getting late now. I still have to go to work tomorrow, so I need to go home and rest early. Thank you again for your invitation. Goodbye."

After saying that, Zhao Mancang stood up, said goodbye to the other person with a smile, and then turned around and left without waiting for the other person to speak.

His refusal should not be too obvious.

Perhaps Alfred might not understand the reason why one should not eat too much seafood, so Zhao Mancang naturally would not explain it in detail.

Just stop there.

And compared to eating this seafood, he still prefers to eat another kind of seafood.

"He actually refused?"

Looking at Zhao Mancang's back as he left in a leisurely manner, Alefred's face was full of disbelief. Kiriakov and others looked at each other. They had not expected that Zhao Mancang would refuse so decisively.

Unable to understand!

That’s a monthly salary of 1,300 rubles!
You know, even Kiriakov and others couldn't get such a salary level in Moscow.

There were many engineers and experts coming from Moscow, some of whom could get a monthly salary of 4,000 rubles. For example, the chemical expert Kloshko earned 4,000 rubles a month when he worked in Moscow in 1954.

However, most Moscow engineers are actually ordinary people in Moscow and their salaries are not high.

Kiriakov and his colleagues only earn 1,000 rubles a month, which is not very high.

From 1950 to 1960, a total of more than 20,000 Moscow experts came to our country to help us build a beautiful new home in the fields of military, industry, agriculture, health and so on.

During the entire aid period, the total "salary" we paid to Moscow engineers like Kiriakov amounted to 210 million rubles.

Converted into RMB, that's 38.22 billion.

Calculated over the past eleven years, the average annual amount is RMB 3.47 billion.

Data is always just data on paper. In fact, there are many things that cannot be calculated simply by data.

Zhao Mancang left very casually, and of course he couldn't go to Moscow.

Even if he was crazy, he would at most choose Hong Kong Island instead of Moscow.

Anyone who goes to Moscow is a fool.

"However, this Moscow man is quite knowledgeable. He knows that this craniotomy is very impressive. He is willing to offer such a high salary to tempt me. Unfortunately, they chose the wrong person."

Shaking his head, Zhao Mancang stopped thinking about it and got in the car to leave Jianguomen.

He was riding in Kiriakov and his friends' car. After all, it was already night and there were no buses. They couldn't let him walk home, could they?

"Comrade Zhao, are you really not going to reconsider? That's 1,300 rubles. You know, I can't even get that much money in Moscow."

In the car, Kiriakov and Dmitry took turns selling products to Zhao Mancang.

The driver was Xie Fayue, a security officer at the steel plant. He could also be said to be Kiriakov's full-time driver, and he was rarely seen.

Xie Fayue said nothing at this time, but he was still quite surprised in his heart.

Who would have thought that Zhao Mancang would be noticed by someone in Moscow and invited to work as a doctor there? And even offered a high salary of 1,300 rubles?
Unbelievable!

At this moment, Zhao Mancang glanced at the experience points that had increased a lot, and felt happy in his heart, but he politely refused:
"Thank you for your kindness, but I really can't adapt to life in Moscow. Not only do I not speak the language, I also don't understand the ways of the world. If I offend someone, I won't even know it."

"Well, I just rejected Alfred. I'm afraid he's mad right now. What gift do you think I should get him? What are his hobbies? How about a free consultation? Or maybe a customized longevity secret for him?"
