Chapter 1290

Unlike Bureau Chief Jiang and the others who needed a translator, Cao Weiguo chatted very congenially with Nikolai Korchagin in fluent Russian.

After some warm hospitality, Nikolai Korchagin felt the deep sincerity, and the matter of importing machines was agreed upon, though both sides engaged in an extreme tug-of-war regarding the price.

At this time, domestic foreign exchange reserves were low, and the price Nikolai Korchagin offered could absolutely be called exorbitant.

It even felt like he was asking for an sky-high price, leaving Bureau Chief Jiang and the others very depressed and helpless.

Who told them they couldn't produce such machines themselves!

If you are backward, you will be bullied!

No matter how high the price was, you still had to negotiate patiently.

No matter how difficult the process was and how the Soviet side bullied people, the machines were finally settled.

Witnessing the bargaining between Director Jiang and the others and Nikolai Korchagin, Cao Weiguo truly felt the predicament of technological backwardness.

By the time he returned to the Red Star Rolling Mill, it was already past three in the afternoon.

Before his butt was even warm, Factory Director Li pushed the door open with a smile.

Factory Director Li: "Weiguo is back."

Cao Weiguo: "What instructions does the leader have!"

Factory Director Li: "Hahaha... Look at how nervous you are. No instructions, just came over to chat with you." ===== CHAPTER 1292 =====
