Early the next morning, Wan Feng and his entourage went to the police station to get their passports, visas, money and belongings.

When he entered the police station, Wan Feng saw that Li Mingzhe was still locked up inside, and said hello to him.

After completing some necessary formalities, the inventory begins.

The passports and visas were all returned to Wan Feng and the others intact, but when it came to the money, something went wrong.

When Wan Feng and the others came, they brought a total of 10,000 rubles, and after deducting the tickets and meals and accommodations when they arrived in Komsomolsk, there were still more than 9,400 rubles left.

Now there are only eight thousand three hundred rubles left, one thousand one hundred rubles less.

The police officers who handled the case pretended to be biao, saying that they did not know where the money went.

Fortunately, the other rubles and rice dollars, as well as the wine samples they carried, were handed over to Aliksei when they stayed at the hotel, otherwise the loss would have been even greater this time.

It is unlikely that the money will come back, Wan Feng pointed at Li Mingzhe: "We won't look for the money, we will take it as a ransom to that person and let him go." ”

The police handling the case discussed it and really released Lee Ming-che.

After leaving the police station, Li Mingzhe thanked Wan Feng for his kindness, and also left the address of a habitat for Wan Feng, saying that he would go to him if he needed anything.

"Brother Li, we can be regarded as having gone through hardships together, you have also been in Komsomolsk for a few years, you must be more familiar with everything here than us, are you interested in being our guide?"

"Be a guide?"

"I won't let you do it for nothing, I'll give you five rubles for a day's salary, including food and lodging, how about it?"

Four rubles a day for food and lodging?

Five rubles is not much, but it is more than the wages of a factory worker.

Li Mingzhe felt that he was hit by the bud rice flour cake that fell from the sky, and it was not lightly smashed, and it was all smashed out of the bag.

"I said brother, do you mean it really?"

"Of course it's true, do you think I'm joking?"

"Hehe, you're welcome brother. ”

"Then let's go back to the inn and talk about it. ”

This small catastrophe delayed Wan Feng's precious time for two days, and he had to do something practical in the next step.

At the hotel where they were staying, Wan Feng held their first meeting after arriving in Komsomolsk.

"We've lost two days, and our work is probably a little tighter. The first step in our next step is to contact the steel mill in Komsomolsk, the largest steel mill in Komsomolsk is the Amur Steel Mill, Brother Li, are you familiar with the Amur Steel Mill?"

The Amur Iron and Steel Plant was the largest steel smelter in the Far East of the Soviet Union, mainly producing special steel for the military, but also for civilian use.

Gorbachev is now carrying out reforms in the Soviet Union, and like China, there will be a large number of military industrial enterprises to be converted to civilian use, and a large number of military industrial enterprises will be affected in Komsomolsk, but I don't know if the Amur Iron and Steel Plant is not in the ranks of this military to civilian use.

"Okay, the Amur Steel Plant has a total of four smelting branches, of which one, two and three are military branches, which are for the production of special steel for shipbuilding, aircraft and tanks in Komsomolsk, and only the fourth plant is the latest to be established to produce civilian steel. ”

Li Mingzhe's answer impressed Wan Feng: "Brother Li, are you quite familiar with the Amur Iron and Steel Plant?"

"I work part-time, I have been to many companies in Komsomolsk, and I have been to this No. 4 factory several times. ”

"So do you know what kind of steel is produced in these four factories?"

"I don't know the specifics, it's all profiles and steel plates. ”

"So you know how they're doing right now?"

Lee Ming-che was a little embarrassed: "I really don't know much about what you said, but it seems that their production situation is not good, and they often have holidays or something." ”

"Brother Li, your task now is to inquire about the situation of this fourth factory, all the situation, I will give you three days, and someone will accompany you here, okay?"

Li Mingzhe thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay!"

Alexei assigned a man to Lee Ming-che.

Wan Feng paid Li Mingzhe 20 roubles in advance, stating that the 20 roubles were not included in his salary, and this was the cost of his car to eat.

Lee Ming-che happily went.

"Uncle Alexei, I also have to find you a task, it is inconvenient for our people to go out here, and it is useless to go out, so we can only use your people. ”

"What kind of mission do you say, Shamilov said when he came, let me listen to your command. ”

"I need to understand the current policy of Komsomolsk, that is, the various changes in Komsomolsk caused by the reform policy that your Soviet leaders are now pursuing in Komsomolsk, mainly for enterprises, and I need newspapers and magazines from Komsomolsk from now to the past year. ”

Alexei thought for a long time and asked a little puzzled: "I don't understand this task, it's to steal newspapers?"

Wan Feng smiled: "It's okay to steal, it's okay to buy it, the general unit has a newspaper folder for collecting newspapers or something, get me some." ”

Alexei was a little aggrieved: "You asked me to steal the newspaper, this..."

What he meant was overkill, that he was a bodyguard for the president and went to steal newspapers, and if it got out...

This task was not difficult at all, and it only took him one night to find a newspaper published in Komsomolsk for some time.

I don't know what unit he got the newspaper folder from, several kinds of newspapers are stacked very neatly, and there are dozens of pounds.

Wan Feng couldn't understand these ghost drawing talismans, so he handed them all over to Zhang Zhiyuan.

Zhang Zhiyuan began to play his role, collecting all the information about the reform of Komsomolsk in these newspapers and translating them to Wan Feng one by one.

What this plant was discontinued, that plant was reorganized, another Akula submarine was launched, another plane went into the sky ...

Wan Feng categorized these fragmentary reports and then analyzed them bit by bit.

Through the analysis of these newspapers, Wan Feng found that the Soviet Union was indeed carrying out reforms now, and to some extent similar to the reforms in China, was also promoting privatization.

However, unlike China, which crossed the river with stones, the Soviet Union's reforms seemed to be more radical and took bigger steps.

This is very much in line with the way the Soviets do things, but it is also very easy to pull the egg, which also proves that the collapse of the Soviet Union in another two or three years has a lot to do with the egg being ripped off.

Many companies in Komsomolsk also have this kind of privatization, but they have not yet begun to implement it.

Moreover, there are indeed some military industrial enterprises that are turning, and their destination this time, the Amur Iron and Steel Plant, is one of the military to civilian enterprises, and shipyards have also begun to receive orders for civilian ships.

Probably, the only thing that didn't move was the Gagarin aircraft factory.

It turns out that Komsomolsk's current business is also in turmoil.
