Chapter 53: Secretly Importing Technology from the Soviet Union at a Lower Price

Importing outdated aircraft engine technology from the Soviet Union was a viable option.

The relatively backward aircraft engine technology was of little concern to the Soviet Union.

Especially now that Dong'an International Trading Company has "connected" with Kazakov and Nikolai, Qian Huaijin doesn't believe there are any cats in the world that "don't like the smell of fish".

Everyone loves US dollars!

If the other party refuses, it simply means the offer was too low and didn't meet their expectations.

While the Soviet Union's aero-engine technology was outdated, it was quite advanced in Yan.

You can question whether the Soviet Union's light industry and agriculture are any good.

But you can't question its military and heavy industry capabilities.

"Is it possible to import various technologies through Kazakov?"

Upon hearing this, Xue Rui muttered to himself.

Suddenly, he felt enlightened.

No wonder Qian Huaijin always emphasized that importing technology from the Soviet Union was simpler than importing new technology from other countries.

Through international trade between the two countries, they secretly introduced the outdated and obsolete technologies of the Soviet Union into the Yan Kingdom.

Being near the water tower gives you an advantage; why not take advantage of such a good opportunity?

Both sides benefit; it's like killing two birds with one stone.

Kazakov doesn't face much risk either.

It can also be used to make more "high-level friends".

Qian Huaijin believes that Kazakov is very willing to do this.

"Another point is that many of our country's technologies and systems are inherited from the Soviet Union. We can directly use their technology instead of purchasing Western technology and then thoroughly understanding it before we can start production."

His apprenticeship was in the State of Su, which is an undeniable fact.

This inherited skill allows engineers at Dong'an Machinery Factory to quickly get into the swing of things.

There's no need to change your mindset at all.

……

Another point is that Western countries impose technological embargoes on Yan.

Some technologies are prohibited from being traded with Yan Country.

Even the most outdated technology, equipment, and production lines, if they can be sold, will fetch astronomical prices.

This is taking advantage of Yan's backward technology, equipment, and production lines.

Furthermore, the Yan Kingdom desperately needs it.

However, if it were imported from the Soviet Union, it wouldn't require as much funding.

After all, this was done secretly, like ants carrying grains of rice to Yan Country.

If you have money and can fill the pockets of some people, they will be happy to help you.

Their desire for money is no less than anyone else's.

Therefore, why should we pay high prices and humbly agree to all sorts of unreasonable conditions to import backward technologies from Western countries when we can import similar technologies from the Soviet Union at the lowest cost?

Importing from there is not importing.

We can bring technology, equipment, and production lines to China, no matter what methods we use.

Whether it's a black cat or a white cat, a cat that can catch mice is a good cat.

Each has its own channels and methods.

Why go through all that trouble when there's a good channel available right now?

Why bother!

In Qian Huaijin's plan, introducing Soviet technology was the top priority, and the purchase of Western technology, equipment and production lines was also a priority.

It will definitely be only a small amount.

Qian Huaijin's words silenced everyone present.

We have channels to secretly import them at a lower cost.

"Is Kazakov really that bold?"

Xue Rui only asked this one question.

"Grandpa Xue, human desires are endless. If we guide him appropriately, will he still have a way out? He'll fall into the trap we set for him in advance one hundred percent."

Qian Huaijin completely outmaneuvered Kazakov.

Even the most determined person can lose their composure when faced with immense wealth.

The Soviet Union is now riddled with holes.

If he doesn't earn money, how will Kazakov survive the rest of his life?

Are they supposed to live off the relief bread from the Soviet government?

Kazakov didn't want to live like that for even a single day.

Now that there are better channels available, Kazakov would certainly be willing to use them.

This does not involve bottom-line issues.

It will not violate any regulations.

Even if he is investigated, Kazakov can land safely.

Otherwise, why would they need to cultivate relationships and make offerings from time to time?

Kazakov: All those years in the Soviet Union, all that money I spent, all that money I fattened up, all for later use!

Kazakov has not yet been completely corrupted by money.

As he makes more transactions and earns more money, his bottom line will become zero.

They'll do anything for a fee.

Of course, this needs to be done step by step.

Upon hearing Qian Huaijin's explanation, everyone in the office felt a chill run down their spines.

This completely cuts to the heart of human nature.

Especially since Qian Huaijin has just turned eighteen.

She's not even in college yet, but she's already so shrewd.

They also have a very long-term perspective.

Qian Zhizhou frowned and said, "No wonder you asked for so many US dollars to smooth things over before."

Qian Zhizhou mentioned this matter briefly in front of everyone.

Let's hope that this matter won't be used against us by some people with ulterior motives.

Saying it in front of so many people can help avoid certain problems later.

Unwilling to help?

Qian Huaijin then used US dollars to build a staircase for Kazakov, because he didn't believe the other party was unwilling to help.

The reason they're unwilling to help is simply because they haven't been paid enough.

Then Qian Huaijin said to Qian Zhizhou, "Of course, we shouldn't put all our eggs in one basket. We can also contact military companies in other Western countries and ask if they are willing to sell various types of aero-engine technologies."

"If the price is right and it would be beneficial to our Dong'an Machinery Factory, then we can make the purchase."

In addition to aircraft engines, other engine technologies also need to be procured.

Tank engines, armored vehicle engines, helicopter engines, and civilian car engines, etc.

Using the engine as a "point," it drives the "entire surface."

This will put Dong'an Machinery Factory on the fast track.

The military industry needs to develop, and so does the civilian industry.

The safest development path is to proceed in two directions simultaneously.

Although the military industry is highly profitable, it cannot be sustained in the long run.

It's a situation where "either you don't make any business, or you make enough to last you three years."

In the civilian sector, it has a broader reach and can generate a steady, long-term revenue stream. As long as the product is reliable, it can continue to be used.

In addition, an international trading company was added to directly fill the original gap.

The foundation for Dong'an Machinery Factory's rapid development has been laid.

……

"Grandpa Xue, does your military have the contact information for Yin Keguo's international arms procurement agents?"

Everyone was about to leave when Qian Huaijin suddenly asked a question.

Xue Rui was puzzled. What kind of ingenious idea did Qian Huaijin have now?

Suddenly, Xue Rui seemed to have discovered a tiny clue.

"You wouldn't want to..."

"Grandpa Xue truly understands me!"

Qian Huaijin and Xue Rui exchanged a glance and smiled at each other.

Xue Rui instantly understood Qian Huaijin's thoughts.

The others nearby were puzzled by Qian Huaijin and his companion's cryptic exchange.

What are those two doing?!
