Chapter 1263: Canned Food for a Big Plane!

Because of the failure of the third son-in-law Watari Shinichiro's investment in Japan, Bao Yugang was hospitalized for a period of time.

When he returned to the Deep Water Bay Mid-Levels Villa from the hospital.

He heard a surprising news.

Mrs. Li passed away suddenly yesterday afternoon.

This news was really too surprising for Bao Yugang.

After all, before this, he had never heard of Mrs. Li's illness. How could she suddenly pass away?

"Guangzhen, are you telling the truth?"

"Father, look at these newspaper reports."

When Bao Yugang picked up the newspaper, many news reports reported about Mrs. Li's death in that hospital.

Some said it was a sudden death from a heart attack.

Others said it was because of an overdose of drugs that led to ineffective rescue.

However, no matter what it was, it made Bao Yugang inexplicably troubled.

Mainly thinking of his own illness.

"It's really unpredictable." Bao Yugang sighed.

. . .

This year's New Year's Eve and Spring Festival came particularly quickly.

More than 20 days after New Year's Day.

The time came to January 24, 1990.

On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, there were only two days left until New Year's Eve.

At this time, Yang Ming was waiting for Li Jun to come back in the study.

In the second half of last year, Li Jun had completely replaced Huo Jianning in Moscow, which means that Li Jun is now the head of the Empire Group responsible for all Soviet Union and Eastern Europe affairs.

Li Jun was wearing thick winter clothes.

The flight from Moscow to Hong Kong New International Airport landed safely.

Li Jun got off the plane and found that Hong Kong was still comfortable. Now it is very cold in Moscow, and it is impossible to survive without heating indoors.

Now, back to Hong Kong New International Airport, a wave of heat hits my face.

It is not 30 degrees Celsius, but more than 20 degrees Celsius.

Li Jun just arrived at the gate of the airport, and he has seen Lin Dezhong waiting for him.

"Mr. Li, this way."

"Butler Lin."

After the two greeted each other.

Li Jun got into Lin Dezhong's Bentley. Since he took over all the work of Huo Jianning in Moscow, he has been very busy, and almost everything is related to Soviet Union and Eastern Europe.

Especially since this year, Sulian has become more chaotic.

The whole of Eastern Europe seems to be out of Sulian's sphere of influence.

"Butler Lin, is there any big news in Hong Kong?"

Big news in Hong Kong?

"Yes. On the afternoon of New Year's Day, Mr. Li's wife suddenly passed away, but Mr. Li and Changgang Industrial Group, and even the dealer, handled it in a low-key manner, and the outside world was not very clear. However, I learned from some gossip news that this matter is not that simple."

Mr. Li's wife suddenly passed away?

Li Jun was really surprised.

In the past, when he was a child, Mr. Li and his wife were still Li Jun's idols, and he thought they were very good at making money.

It was just that with the emergence of Yang Ming and the rise of the Empire Group, the influence of Li Jiacheng and his wife and Changgang Industrial Group had long become the same as other ordinary wealthy people in Hong Kong.

In fact, there are still many wealthy Chinese in Hong Kong now.

Like Zheng Yutong, Li Zhaoji, etc.

However, there is no Four Great Families in Hong Kong now, and it is impossible for them to exist anymore. They are just wealthy people. Although they are still very rich compared to many ordinary people in Hong Kong, they are far behind Sir Yang.

"Isn't Madam Li still young?" Li Jun asked in surprise.

"The news said she is in her fifties, so she is indeed still young. But it is hard to say about these things."

Li Jun nodded.

He thought so too, things are unpredictable.

In addition to this incident, the news in Hong Kong is still related to the web pages and browsers first developed by the Empire Group in the Hong Kong Science Park.

There is also the competition for the headquarters of the International Internet Association.

It is obvious that compared to the sudden departure of Madam Li, Li Jun is more interested in the competition for the headquarters of the International Internet Association.

"Butler Lin, is that Hong Kong and M country competing for the headquarters of the International Internet Association?"

"I read that in the newspapers. Now many countries support Hong Kong as the headquarters, but M country, Korea, and Japan all support M country, thinking that the Internet originated in M ​​country."

However, Li Jun feels that the Internet is too important. Although it is a non-profit organization, Li Jun feels that if Hong Kong can take over this headquarters, it will play a very important role for Hong Kong now and even in the future.

. . .

When Lin Dezhong stopped the car.

Li Jun got out of the car and he had already seen Yang Ming.

"Boss, I'm back."

"How do you feel over there?"

"It's too cold in Moscow."

When Li Jun and Yang Ming went to the garden to drink water, Li Jun said, "I just heard that Mrs. Li suddenly passed away."

"This news has been going on for more than half a month."

Yang Ming handed a newspaper to Li Jun.

Li Jun found out that it was Li Jiacheng who was going to donate a sum of money to Xiangjiang University in the name of his wife to build a university auditorium.

After reading it, Li Jun did not ask any more questions, but said: "I heard that Xiangjiang and M country are fighting for the headquarters of the International Internet Association?"

"Indeed, M country is unwilling to let go, and we will not let go easily. In fact, M country is very clear about how much role the Internet will play in global public opinion in the future, so they want to take the headquarters."

Li Jun naturally could not solve this matter, which involved the competition of the forces behind the scenes.

When Yang Ming and Huo Jianning drank tea and went upstairs to the study, Li Jun said: "Boss, Moscow is very cold now, but on the other hand, the Soviet Union is already very cold, and Eastern European countries are beginning to break away from the control of the Soviet Union, and even the country of Goose itself wants to break away from the Soviet Union."

In fact, this is inevitable.

Since last year, there have been problems within the Soviet Union, which has begun to lead to drastic changes in Eastern Europe.

This year will be more obvious, Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union's member states will break away from the control of the Soviet Union.

This was known to Yang Ming a long time ago.

"Now, regardless of those, we have to do. First, cultivate those oligarchs. Second, dig up as many talents as possible. Third, get as much sophisticated technology as possible."

Although the Soviet Union is a country with abnormal development, it is still one of the best in the world in terms of military industry and aviation industry.

This is also the opportunity for the Empire Group to take it.

Even, including the aviation engine technology of the Soviet Union in Ukraine, which is also the one that Yang Ming values ​​most.

Yang Ming knew that soon, Sulian would not be able to be saved, and Ukraine would also be in chaos.

Then it was the best time to take over Ukraine's aviation engine technology, and it would be best to poach all the technicians together.

"Also, we will continue to do business with Sulian and Eastern Europe. We can buy whatever they want to sell."

Next, Sulian and even Goose will continue to sell. Basically, many of Sulian's legacies, including second-hand military aircraft, passenger aircraft, etc., will be sold.

This is also why canned goods were exchanged for large aircraft in history.

In 1989, Mou Qizhong took a train from Wanxian to Yanjing to sell bamboo weaving and rattan products. On the train, Mou Qizhong met a Henan man, and the two talked about everything. From him, Mou Qizhong learned that the former Sulian, which was facing the crisis of disintegration, was preparing to sell the Tu-154 aircraft, but could not find a buyer.

The two talked about it here and there, and Mou Qizhong actually dreamed of flying.

So, Mou Qizhong rented a house in the suburbs of Beijing, stopped selling bamboo and rattan products, and asked around to see if anyone wanted to buy an airplane. Mou didn't know much about aviation, and he was like a headless fly.

Later, he finally found out that Sichuan Airlines, which started in 1988, was preparing to purchase large aircraft to gradually replace Yun-7 and Yun-12 aircraft.

Mou Qizhong found Chuanhang, which was on the rise and was naturally very interested. At that time, it cost 50 to 60 million yuan to buy a Tu-154 aircraft, while it cost 200 to 300 million yuan to buy a Boeing passenger plane.

So, with the approval of relevant departments and the consent of the Civil Aviation Administration of China, Chuanhang purchased the four Tu-154 aircraft that Mou Qizhong bought through barter.

Mou Qizhong organized 500 carloads of goods in seven provinces, including Qilu, Hebei, Henan, Yuzhou, and Sichuan, to be delivered to the Russian side. With this transaction alone, Mou Qizhong made 80 to 100 million yuan. (End of this chapter)
