Chapter 195: Exchange goods for talents (Part 1)

According to the opinions of American experts, the Russian government will relax 90% of the price of consumer goods and 80% of the price of means of production starting from January 2, 1992. At the same time, restrictions on income growth will be lifted, the salary of public employees will be increased by 90%, and the subsidy for retirees will be increased to 900 rubles per month, and family subsidies and unemployment benefits will also rise.

Starting from January, after the price restrictions on food, industrial goods and service items were lifted, the store shelves were full of shelves in the first few days, and all goods were open for supply. As long as you have money, you could buy goods. It did not need to be supplied by tickets like in the Soviet era.

Although, in the short term, the number of long queues outside shopping malls in various cities seems to have decreased a little. However, soon the shelves in various shopping malls in Russia are empty, and the prices of various commodities each month have increased exponentially! People have found that whenever wages rise by 50%, the prices of commodities will rise by more than 200%, and problems such as inflation and currency depreciation are coming.

Walking on the streets of Moscow, except for the recently opened "Abu Shopping Malls" that are open for sale, many other shopping malls, whether state-owned or private, have closed their doors and suspended their business.

"Abu, introduce you to a new project. Do you want to accept it?" said Zhou Hong, a Russian representative of Longteng Trading Company.

Although Zhou Hong's name sounds like a woman's name, he has a generous personality and loves to make friends. Because Zhou Hong is responsible for Longteng Trade in the Greater Russia region, his office is usually in Moscow, so he often deals with Abu. After a few times, the two became familiar with each other, and Zhou Hong also often took care of Abu, a new friend.

"Hey, just say it. If I can do it, I will help you even if there is no profit!"

"How could there be no profit? If you do well, the profit will be very rich! Let me tell you this. You also see that the current Russian economy is very bad. The general situation is that the life of making atomic bombs is not as nourishing as selling tea eggs. Those intellectuals spend all day doing research in the laboratory, their social experience is not very rich, and they have almost no living skills after leaving the laboratory. Now, the new Russian government's finances are not ideal, and a large amount of wealth from the Soviet era is missing. Foreign owes hundreds of billions of US dollars in debt to the G7, and domestic owes tens of thousands of rubles of national debt. Currently, Russia's scientific research projects are stopped one by one, and a large number of senior experts and scholars are wandering on the streets because of unemployment. Our Longteng Group wants to recruit these scholars and let them serve our company in China!"

Abu said: "This is easy to deal with. Just post an advertisement and promote it slightly to ensure that many professors and experts are willing to work in China!"

"Okay, since you agree, let me tell you the reward! Every time I successfully convince a senior intellectual to come to China, our Longteng Trading Company can pay for goods worth US$1,000!" Zhou Hong said with satisfaction.

The next day, more than 30 Abu Malls were posted in front of the streets of Moscow, attracting a large number of people to watch.

At this time, even if there are no unemployed university professors, scientists' monthly salary is only 2,000 rubles. In order to make a living, some work part-time jobs and some have to set up street stalls on the street to sell the materials that they don't need at home for food exchange.

Abu and Longteng Trading Company signed a new agreement, which began to bring new hope to these intellectuals. The contract is an agreement to exchange talents for materials, stipulating that every time Abu Shopping Mall Trading Company convinces a senior intellectual to sign a contract with Longteng Trading Company to work for Longteng in China, Longteng Trading Company will provide goods worth US$1,000 to Abu.

This is similar to the slave merchants in the Age of Discovery that encourage local African tribes to help them capture black people from other tribes and become slaves. The difference is that black slaves capture violently, while these intellectuals use temptation. Facts have proved that when they can't even eat enough, the backbone of most intellectuals is unreliable.

However, when Abu just put the message in front of his shopping malls, a large group of scholars who wore their eyes and were full of elegant temperament, but their clothes looked ragged.

Many people began to inquire about whether they could bring their family members if they were given a salary in China.

"Treatment? Haha! Good treatment is scary! Tell you, after going to China, you will work for Zhang Bixuan, the world's absolute richest man! Do you know how rich he is? At least 5 Fortune 500 companies are completely controlled by him, and he still has dozens of group companies in his hands, and he can reach the Fortune 500 at any time! Not only is he the first trillion-dollar rich man in human history, but his billionaires are calculated by hundreds of billionaires and thousands of millionaires. Perhaps Longteng's toilet-sweeping value is 100,000!" Roman Abramovich boasted, "Look at me, a year ago, it was just a guy who ran errands for Longteng Trading Group. Now there are thousands of employees who run errands for me."

A group of professors and experts look at me, and I look at you, it is completely irresistible to resist the temptation. After all, staying in Russia not only cannot obtain research funds, but also means that you will go hungry as inflation becomes more and more serious!

A few months ago, their average monthly salary of 2,000 rubles was enviable, and at that time, they could buy some wine, food, and some foreign fresh items for their family as gifts. Now, their 2,000 rubles can barely buy a few pairs of leather shoes made in China. If they were used to buy Italian leather shoes, they would probably be able to afford them annually.

These intellectuals took a copy of promotional materials placed on a table at the door of Abu store and read them carefully.

"Hi, just go! Anyway, I can only eat two meals a day with bread. However, I have to pay the salary that I can support my family!"

"Yes! No matter why people work, this is not what I care about the most. After all, I have 9 children in my family!" An old man who seemed to be about 50 years old sighed.

Many people rolled their eyes and looked at the old man's lower body.
