217 Untitled
Compared with Leonardo Petrovsky's question, Li Xiaofeng cared more about this kid who came to TK. No matter what, Petrovsky is a regular Russian army and shoulders the special mission of defending the country. As an active-duty soldier, how did he start his second profession and come to TK?
Yes, although Li Xiaofeng looks like a good superior now, he seems to be full of expectations for his new subordinates, and is ready to take them to make achievements and create a country. But in fact, Li Xiaofeng has no expectations for his new subordinates, and is not prepared to hand over the powers he finally won from Derrensky to them to perform.
For Li Xiaofeng, these people are used as emergency and storefronts. As long as they are dressed brighter, eat well and drink well, and be qualified guard of honor and security guards. As for stealing intelligence, assassination, surveillance, these very technical and prone to disputes, he does not intend to hand over to these people at all.
Of course, it is more because Li Xiaofang dared not hand it over to this group of people. Looking at their work history, 80% were workers and farmers around Petrograd, the remaining 10% were soldiers, and the poor percentage was the professional revolutionaries in the end. What's more, illiterate people accounted for the vast majority of these people. For the promising and technical job of spies, a straightforward intestine is not suitable.
And even if they are suitable, Li Xiaofeng does not intend to trust them. It is not that there is a person with unsteady will among them. The treasure that Derrensky chose to find was chosen by many people. There is no need to worry about loyalty to the Bolsheviks. However, what Li Xiaofeng needs is not a passionate man who is completely loyal to the party and the revolution. What he wants more is a reliable lackey who is loyal to himself.
It is obvious that in the minds of this group of new subordinates, it is not necessary to investigate whether the party or Li Xiaofeng is more important. A certain immortal is not so arrogant that he thinks that eating and drinking can win people's hearts by eating and drinking. So for the long-term plan, Li Xiaofeng doesn't really want them to really intervene in the core areas of the special science department.
But this does not mean that Li Xiaofeng will neglect or offend them, so he enthusiastically answered Petrovkis' question: "Long time no see, Leonardo. Since the success of the Peter Paul prison uprising, we have lost contact. Where have you carried out revolutionary activities these days?"
Petrovsky smiled reluctantly, so he was naturally hard to say. After the uprising was successful, I deliberately refused to contact you. Who made you a person who was too voluntarily and too disobeyed commands?
"After the uprising was successful, I returned to the regiment and followed the company commander to promote the party's revolutionary policies in the army." After a pause, he said enviously: "I didn't expect that you had not seen each other for a month. You have become a glorious Bolshevik and have had in-depth exchanges with Comrade Lenin. To be honest, I really envy you!"
Li Xiaofeng could naturally see the envy in Petrovsky's eyes, and thought with a grudge: What's the use of revolution? My little comrade. Revolution is not a mess, you have to seize the opportunity and work hard to do it. What's the point of communicating with Comrade Lenin? Brother is now Comrade Lenin's confidant! Do you know what a confidant is? It means right-hand man.
Fortunately, someone was not as good as saying what he said in his heart. He hugged Petrovsky's shoulder affectionately and said happily: "It is of course my honor to be able to communicate with Comrade Lenin, but you will soon have the same opportunity. Our main mission of establishing the Special Corps is to protect the safety of the Party Central Committee and Comrade Lenin. In your future work, you will have a lot of opportunities to meet Comrade Lenin!"
Petrovsky was indeed happy. He immediately threw the equipment issue that he had just wanted to know and began to ask questions about Lenin with great enthusiasm. Li Xiaofeng experienced the power of the star-chasing people and fans in later generations. People like Petrovsky were still rational, but they were so excited that they couldn't find North. They were much easier to deal with than those fanatical fans who were obsessed with it.
Anyway, Li Xiaofeng simply described Comrade Lenin's character, which made him very satisfied. And the equipment problem that had troubled this kid just now immediately figured out the answer - defending the Party Central Committee and defending Comrade Lenin, what's so strange about having a better equipment!
What Li Xiaofeng wants is this effect, at least it can save a lot of saliva. Anyway, after receiving the equipment the next day, no one expressed doubts, and no one expressed whether the bourgeois aura on the equipment was too strong. I believe that Petrovsky helped a lot.
"Comrades, maybe some of you already know that the main mission of our Special Corps is to protect the safety of the Party Central Committee." Looking at the excited faces in the audience, Li Xiaofeng was a little proud, "Our work is very important and very arduous. In order to complete this arduous work, the Party has prepared the best weapons and equipment for us, but I want to say that equipment is always secondary, and the important thing is the people who use these equipment! I always believe that human quality is the first priority!"
Speaking of this, Li Xiaofeng changed into a serious and heavy tone: "Comrades, most of you were engaged in industrial or agricultural labor before and did not undergo systematic military training. Generally speaking, such important political tasks cannot be handed over to you. However, the Party Central Committee trusts you and thinks that you are all materials that can be made, so she handed over this serious and arduous task to you. Tell me whether we should give back to the Party's trust with a tense and positive working attitude!"
After glanced at the audience, Li Xiaofeng was very satisfied with the effect of his speech. Unless everyone sitting below was Oscar winners, he could only believe that his speech had completely inspired their fighting spirit.
"In order to complete this arduous mission, to live up to the trust of the Party, and to welcome the Seventh National Congress of the Party, our special department will conduct a ten-day special training. I hope you can take this special training seriously, because this special training will teach you how to use the weapons in your hands to defend the Party! I also want to tell you that the special training will be very strict, and there will be an assessment. Only comrades who have passed the assessment will hand over the important task of defending the Party Central Committee to him!"
"For those unqualified comrades, I can only think that you have failed the trust of the Party and are unwilling to protect the cause of the Party. For such comrades who are backward in their thoughts, we can only let them leave!"
Li Xiaofeng's speech made the new members of the Special Corps feel heavy. No one was willing to leave for such a glorious task of guarding the door. Not only because of his love for the party and his desire for honor, but also because of a certain immortal's food standards, the men who were troubled by hunger all their eyes turned red.
Damn, I have three meals a day. There are milk bread in the morning, and meat can be seen at noon (they also use ham sausages as meat), and a small bottle of Chinese wine (Red Star Erguotou) at night, especially the supply is open. A pack of packaged Chinese cigarettes (Daqianmen) can be received in a week. The clothes and shoes are all given by the public, and there is a monthly allowance of fifty rubles.
What kind of life is this? For the hard-working Russians who are hungry and cold, this is a communist life. This kind of treatment, let alone let them defend the Party Central Committee, they dare to attack the Winter Palace!
Is the salary high? Anyway, Li Xiaofeng doesn't think it's too outrageous. Anyway, the Chinese workers in Finland have been eating like this for a month. Except for the first week, everyone was busy eating wildly. No one else could not get along with the stomach. Although the appetite was still quite large, it was still reasonable.
Of course, it doesn’t matter if it’s unreasonable. Anyway, what Li Xiaofeng lacks the most now is food. No matter how big the appetite of this group of people is, their consumption capacity is limited, especially when the operation to rob the army will continue.
"How is it? Are you satisfied with the harvest?" Li Xiaofeng asked proudly with his legs crossed.
No one here is outsider, they are all ally or partners who directly or indirectly participated in the robbery operation, including his cheap dad, gold-worshiping woman Victoria, and Natalia.
"Satisfied, that's quite satisfying!" Old Spherosky's face was full of wrinkles. It can be seen that the old man had been dreaming about the past two days. "The food price is also great, my little Andreka. If you had learned it two years ago, our Spherosky family would probably be a billionaire!"
Li Xiaofeng just couldn't stand the old man's ugly appearance. He was in a good mood today and was too lazy to care about it.
"When will the funds be recovered?" This is the question he is most concerned about.
"Don't worry, if the provisional government cannot alleviate the food shortage, our funds will be returned soon, and then you can do the next transaction!" Victoria replied without raising her head in the account book.
"How long will it take?" Li Xiaofeng, who tasted the sweetness, was eager to do another deal tonight. When he thought of the hill-like supplies in the strategic reserve warehouse, he felt itchy.
"Don't be anxious!" The rare old Spherosky said a human word, "You did a lot of sensation, and the whole city knows that now the police, military police, and Cossacks have to avoid the limelight when they look for prisoners!"
"Why avoid the limelight!" Li Xiaofeng curled his lips disdainfully and said contemptuously: "They can't find clues even if they have ten thousand years. Besides, I'm anxious to use the money here!"
Victoria asked in confusion: "You only made a lot of money yesterday, why did you say you were short of money the next day? Even if you want to cry poor with us in a fake way, is that too much right?"
"It's not that I'm crying for poverty!" Li Xiaofeng explained solemnly, "That's really poor. The major industries under my command are in the early stages. Which one is not a bottomless pit? Just the little money yesterday is not enough to open!"
Victoria was shocked and asked, "What industry needs such a big investment?"
Li Xiaofeng said with his fingers: "Martial arts, medicine, mercenaries, which one of them is worth spending?"
Old Sbelosky interrupted at the right time: "Little Andreka, since your companies are so difficult, why not sell some shares to me and let the old man share the burden?"
The old man had already had the idea of playing with his feet. When he was in Sweden, he was shocked by the bright prospects of Umbrella. As long as the two major fist products were released, they would almost sweep the world. It can be said that they would be robbing money! If the old man hadn't had a too terrible fight with Li Xiaofeng at that time, he would have come up with a shameless face to ask for shares.
"Where you go, go wherever you are! Don't sell the shares!" Li Xiaofeng dispelled the old man's indecent idea without hesitation and dared to call Umbrella. Old man, you should also consider how many taels of meat you have, that is what you can participate in!
"If you don't give Ambreda shares, you can give some shares of Nokia!" The old man immediately settled for the second best. He had the idea of Nokia.
In fact, there is more than the old man who is interested in Nokia. When Victoria, who is busy settled the score next to her, she immediately became concerned, or regretted it. Half a month ago, she helped Li Xiaofeng acquire Nokia's telecommunications and telephone business. At that time, she was very unpopular with the company's money prospects.
Why? Nokia's telecommunications and telephone department really wanted nothing, but to put it bluntly, it was the business of setting up some phone lines, which was so bleak that it was so terrible. At that time, Victoria was quite disdainful of a fairy's business.
But who would have thought that in just half a month, Nokia had undergone earth-shaking changes. The Nobel family came in and intervened. They exchanged a large amount of funds for one-quarter of the shares of a fairy, and then started buying land and building factories in Finland. The construction of infrastructure alone exceeded Li Xiaofeng's capital to acquire Nokia.
This is not what makes Victoria the most jealous. After all, even if there is blood transfusion from the Nobel family, Nokia, who has no hematopoietic ability, is not worthy of attention. Who knew that just after she had this idea, Li Xiaofeng tricked out two types of radios, as well as radios.
The radio station Victoria also purchased a few units, and to be honest, the effect was quite good. At least it was stronger than the telephone business of Russian Telecom. As for the radio, although the Russian Voice Radio Station had just started broadcasting and many programs were in the early stages, when Angelina's soft and pleasant voice came from the radio, Victoria understood the business opportunities immediately.
But it was too late to understand. Victoria deeply regretted why she was stingy with the little money at that time, which directly led to her missing a mountain of gold. Even if the huge profits in the food business temporarily diluted her heartache, as soon as she saw the radio or radio station, the deep regret would suffocate her.
Now, Sbelosky, the old man who was dead, has re-introduced the old words. Li Xiaofeng complained about the shortage of funds. This gave Victoria a chance to make up for her mistakes. She threw out her price code quite directly: "Five hundred thousand rubles, 25% of the shares!"
Li Xiaofeng didn't even have eyelids, "Wu 100,000 rubles, are you sending the beggar?"
Victoria continued to offer unwillingly: "Seven hundred thousand rubles!"
Li Xiaofeng grinned and said disdainfully: "I have never taken rubles. You know very well!"
Of course Victoria knew that Li Xiaofeng didn't like Ruble, and this time he had a grain business. He almost had a miscarriage because he did not accept Ruble and strongly asked to settle in pounds. In the end, the two sides argued for a long time, and after a lot of quarrel, someone reluctantly agreed to settle in Swedish kroner.
"One.2 million Swedish Kroner, you have no objection now!"
To be honest, this price made Victoria feel extremely painful, and she was really bleeding! Why? The ruble is getting more and more valuable day by day, while the neutral Sweden is less affected by the war and its finances are more stable. Naturally, the kroner is more valuable than the ruble, or to maintain its value, although the exchange rate between the ruble and the kroner before the war was 1:2.
This is also the main reason why Li Xiaofeng did not accept rubles. When the October Revolution broke out, by 1918, the rubles were really paper. If you exchange so many rubles, you would be a fool.
"We've decided! One. Two million Swedish Kroner, exchange for your 25% stake!" Victoria's face was full of pain, as if she had suffered a great loss.
Li Xiaofeng snorted in his nose and said proudly: "I didn't agree! One.2 million Swedish kroner is also called money? Just a few dollars, do you want 25% of Nokia's shares? Children, it's right to make a fortune, but it's not good to dream during the day!"
Victoria's nose was so angry that to be honest, the price was really not low. One. Two million Swedish kroner is equivalent to 300,000 US dollars, or 60,000 pounds. Churchill was worth only 40,000 pounds back then, which was really a huge sum of money. This money was still a food business, otherwise Victoria's profiteer would not give her such great authority!
But who is Li Xiaofeng? As a time traveler, can you not know the achievements of Nokia in the future? Even if it is far away and cannot save the near thirst, with him, the immortal holding a treasure pot, Nokia will be worse than in history? No matter how hard it is, it can still be as good as Marconi or Motorola. So the price offered by Victoria is really not enough.
"How much do you want?" Victoria asked gritted her teeth.
"Five hundred thousand dollars, ten percent!"
Victoria was shocked. The price was simply crazy. If this price was agreed, then the market value of Nokia was worth $5 million. At least she thought it was inflated. When the old prodigal son Nobel was hiccup, he made a will to sell all his property, including Bofos, a well-known arms giant. How much did it cost? Although it was something that happened more than 20 years ago, inflation was not that great.
Victoria said angrily: "This price is too high!"
Li Xiaofeng ignored him and fiddled with the semiconductor radio in his hand. The Russian Voice Radio Station was about to start broadcasting. It would be good to be able to listen to Victoria's voice. He replied impatiently: "I'm the price. Do you like to buy it? Anyway, I don't need those three melons and two dates!"
Victoria's face turned blue when she said this. Damn, it was you who just cried poorly, but now she said she was the one who didn't lack three melons and two jujubes. 500,000 US dollars is three melons and two jujubes? You bastard, you are just teasing me, right!
Victoria was just about to settle the score with Li Xiaofeng, but Angelina on the radio changed her past gentleness, her voice was like the cold of February, and released an explosive news. This news immediately diverted Victoria's attention. She no longer cared about looking for a fairy to judge, and shouted loudly: "Higher the sound, louder the sound!"
