Why?

The collapse of society did not happen overnight. At this time, the security situation in the Soviet Union was terrible and prices were soaring.

Corruption has simply reached an extreme level. There are demonstrations every day, which have turned into vandalism, looting, and burning.

For the safety of their families, most engineers and scientists chose to leave their homes in tears whenever they could afford to leave this sad place.

It is completely possible to buy the factory supporting Kamaz, dismantle the equipment, and recruit engineers to work in Sanshui City!

Huang Han also asked Liu Qiquan to contact all cadres in Sanshui City who were trading in the Soviet Union to help find scientists in microelectronics.

As long as they are scientists and engineers from the top research institutes of the Soviet Union, "Hanjierong Investment Company" will not hesitate to pay a high price.

Liu Qiquan was also instructed that it does not matter that some scientists and engineers are currently unwilling to abandon the motherland, but he should keep in touch with such people and never give up.

To be honest, Huang Han despises people who give up their motherland easily!

The Soviet Union has become like this, but the scientists and engineers who still refuse to give up should have noble personalities.

But in just half a year, these people's minds will fall into chaos, because their country is suddenly gone!

That would be embarrassing!

We want to be patriotic and contribute to the country, but where is the country?

This is not a lie, the scientists in the Soviet state-level research institutes come from all over the Soviet Union.

Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Georgia and other countries cannot replace the Soviet Union.

When the Soviet Union ceased to exist, too many people felt at a loss and at a loss as to what to do.

Coupled with the plummeting standard of living and the worsening public security situation, how many people will choose to stay if they have the means to leave?

Of course Huang Han could not clearly say that the Soviet Union should die by the end of the year!

He, Liu Qiquan, and others adopted the method of analyzing the current situation of the Soviet Union to induce them.

Scientists and engineers who are all engaged in border trade, have a vision, and agree that the Soviet Union will continue to be in a bad state, but are willing to continue to persevere, will definitely have their minds wavered.

Keeping in touch is essential!

On the evening of July 7th, Qian Aiguo happily asked Huang Han and Cheng Wenge to visit the experimental primary school tomorrow morning.

There are only a few days left for his vacation, and there is no telling when he can go home again.

Huang Han didn't think too much, he just thought that Qian Aiguo might be doing it for nostalgia.

On the morning of the 8th, the three of them ate a bowl of fish soup noodles on Masi Street and then arrived at the experimental elementary school where almost no one was around since summer vacation.

Qian Aiguo was very interested. He walked directly into Teacher Qiu's courtyard and happily looked at the plants and trees in the small courtyard and the layout of the piano classroom.

He sighed: "I didn't expect that this place would stay the same for ten years!"

Cheng Wenge said: "It has indeed remained the same. Huang Han and I visited our old place again last year!"

"Really? What a pity, I should have been floating on the sea at that time!"

Cheng Wenge asked: "Do you feel bitter?"

"It's okay! Food, clothing, training, cultural classes, and skill classes are nothing, but I'm a little lonely!"

Huang Han said: "Alas! Only by enduring hardship can one become a master. The ancients sincerely did not deceive me!"

"No! I really don't feel bad, comrades, the classmates are very lively together. There is always a lot of time when we are on missions. We all read books, and studying is not boring at all."

"I go to sea often, and I must be tired of seeing the blue sea and sky."

"Haha... sometimes for more than ten days in a row I just see the blue sea and sky, and nothing else!"

Chengwenge pointed to the locust tree in the yard and said, "Do you still remember that we were walking down there?"

"Of course I remember, it's also because I practiced martial arts when I was in elementary school, so I have won the first place in grappling and fighting in my grade for two consecutive years."

Qian Aiguo walked to the tree, patted it gently, and said:

"This tree doesn't seem to have grown much!"

Huang Han said: "The locust tree grows too slowly, so it's hard to see it."

At this time, Qian Aiguo actually took out a notebook from his pocket, opened it, and found a monkey ticket four-party couplet inside. He smiled and said: "Do you still remember this?"

Cheng Wenge said: "Remember, of course I remember, our names are written on the back!"

"Then do you remember what Huang Han said when he wrote our names?"

"Oops! Is today July 8th?"

"Yes! Just ten years ago today, Huang Han told me that we would still come here to meet in ten years. If anyone can't come, send someone with this four-way monkey ticket to meet us!"

Um! Huang Han was shocked! I really didn’t expect that the arrogant Qian Aiguo was actually a caring person. He still remembered the ten-year agreement that Huang Han made in 1981.

Huang Han said with emotion: "It's been ten years with just a snap of a finger!"

"Yes! I think Cheng Wenge and I were just two repeaters who were just hanging around. We might not even be able to pass the junior high school entrance examination. Thank you!"

"Do we need such kind words between us?"

"That's right, with our feelings, there's really no need for it!"

Cheng Wenge said: "In ten years, if we meet here again, will you have become a general by then?"

"Hey! You think it's so easy to become a general! In ten years, I will be satisfied with the rank of major!"

Huang Handao: "I think you will definitely be able to become a general in twenty years. If you go back to your old place, I'm afraid there will be a large group of leading cadres from Sanshui City behind you!"

Cheng Wenge smiled and said: "Haha, not only that, there will definitely be a big photo of you in this small courtyard, and there will be your introduction below! The entire experimental primary school is proud of you!"

"That's right! Every year when new kids join the team and take the oath, they will definitely be under your photo!"

"Brother, why do I feel so scared when I hear this? I always feel that this scene is about visiting the tombs of martyrs!"

"Bah, bah!, don't talk nonsense, you will have a chance to become the commander of the aircraft carrier fleet in the future!"

"Alas! I finally saw a real aircraft carrier. Our country doesn't know how long it will take to have one!"

Chengwenge immediately became interested and asked: "How come you saw a real aircraft carrier? Why didn't you brag to us in the past two days?"

"Blow? What are you bragging about? If you talk too much, you will embolden others and destroy your own prestige!"

Obviously, Qian Aiguo might have seen an American aircraft carrier on the high seas while on a mission, and he felt unhappy!

"Don't be like this! I'm sure that within thirty years, our country will have its own model aircraft fleet!"

"Yeah! I firmly believe it too!"

The three of them entered the Experimental Primary School and entered the Dongyue Temple through another door in the courtyard.

The gatekeeper probably knew Huang Han, so he laughed with him and said nothing.

The former Experimental Primary School "Liuyi Hall", which has been restored to the main hall of Dongyue Temple, no longer has a gloomy feeling.

Nowadays, the place is filled with cigarette smoke, and there are actually several great monks chanting sutras.

After leaving Dongyue Temple, I immediately heard a familiar laughter: "Haha, you really came out from here!"

"Liu Xiaoming! You are back from a business trip."

"Yeah! I went on a business trip for a week and came back last night. I went to your house early in the morning. Xiaozhu said that you guys came to the Experimental Primary School."

Liu Xiaoming wore a police uniform and looked very brave. When he wasn't smiling, he looked upright and didn't look like a monkey at all.

Qian Aiguo hadn't seen Liu Xiaoming's current appearance yet, so he immediately stepped forward and gave Liu Xiaoming's shoulder, saying, "Okay! It's really impressive to see him after three days apart!"

"Haha, I was just about to say this to you!"

"Are you on a business trip to catch criminals?" Cheng Wenge asked.

"Yeah! It's not like the Tobacco Monopoly Law has just been promulgated. The Municipal Tobacco Monopoly Bureau and our Public Security Bureau are working hard to manufacture and sell counterfeit cigarettes.

Several major cases were solved, and the amount involved was found to be tens of millions. Some criminals got wind of it and ran away. We had to arrest them across provinces."

Huang Han knew this because the Sugar, Tobacco and Liquor Company was split, and Lu Yuqi, the deputy director of the Commerce Bureau and the manager of the Sugar, Tobacco and Liquor Company, became the head of the Tobacco Monopoly Bureau.

Counterfeit goods were rampant in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and the tobacco industry was the hardest hit.

Originally, Huang Han had seen with his own eyes the spontaneous formation of the counterfeit cigarette market.

The location is near the ferry crossing the river, and the traders who sell fake cigarettes wholesale are simply blatant.

Huang Han is in favor of all addictive goods being monopolized by the state, especially tobacco.

The profits here are huge, and the capitalists must not be taken advantage of.

"Have you encountered any resistance?" Cheng Wenge continued to ask.

Liu Xiaoming said sternly: "The plan I made is foolproof. The criminals will be knocked down as soon as they show up. It is not their turn to resist."

Qian Aiguo said: "I believe you can do it. After all, we have practiced grappling and fighting since we were young."

Liu Xiaoming looked at Qian Aiguo carefully and said, "We haven't fought for two years. Do you want to go to the fighting room and have a good fight?"

"Haha, you definitely can't beat me!"

"I don't know, I'll know after I fight him!"
