Chapter 602： Cut Hu (Part 1)

The Rosso War that took place in Europe had little impact on Europe, and the American economic crisis across the ocean is still plundering this country.

A large number of factory closures have caused unemployment to record highs. Many penniless people can only live in shack built of cardboard. They called the shack made of cardboard the "Hoover House", the sack for begging as the "Hoover Bag", and the animal cart as the "Hoover Cart" (spoofing what Hoover said when he boarded the president. , Let every American family have a house and a car, and every pot has chicken).

And their daily task is to find a job at an employment agency, remember the time when the relief centers in the city are open, and then try to get a lunch (or dinner).

According to statistics, the current unemployed population in the United States has remained at about 13 million for a long time. These unemployed people cannot find jobs in the city for a long time, which leads to the instability of social security, and many desperate people have to engage in illegal business operations. American gangs were popular at the time.

Many people cannot stand the drastic changes in American society and many people leave the United States. According to statistics, the United States experienced a net population export situation during the Great Depression.

When ordinary people were starving, it was ironic that a large number of agricultural and sideline products in the United States were burned because they could not be sold. The Mississippi River was called the Milky Way at the time. Because the unsold milk was dumped into this river in large quantities, the color changed.

Since the people are suffering so much, it is not much better to be a factory. People do not have the purchasing power to keep products backlogged in warehouses, causing many factories and enterprises to fail to operate. The number of factories and enterprises filing for bankruptcy reached 31,578 in 1931, a record high in history.

At a time when a large number of American companies went bankrupt, every company and factory was struggling to survive. Orders are everything to them now, and he doesn't care where you come from whether the money is legal or not, as long as it is banknotes, you can get everything you want from the United States. As long as they are willing to give money, those factories and enterprises dare to sell as long as they have them.

So this is because Viktorv is very satisfied with his current work. Now those capitalists surround themselves every day, trying hard to sell their factories to themselves. Boasting it as a flower, just to buy a decent price.

That's right, Viktorv was the Soviet procurement manager in the United States, specializing in the procurement of equipment and technology needed by the Soviets.

I remember when he first set foot in the United States, when the Great Depression had not yet erupted, many Americans were full of hostility to the Soviet Union, and there were many stubborn entrepreneurs who put on ugly faces and publicly declared that they did not intend not to sell. Give any equipment and technology to the Soviet Union.

This made Viktorv indignant at this, and his senses of the United States are extremely bad. After the outbreak of the capitalist economic crisis, those who publicly said that they would not sell anything to the Soviet Union rushed to them in tears and begged to buy their own things, as long as they could sell them. It was a Shakespearean tragicomedy, and Viktov was very happy in his heart.

It also allowed him to deepen his understanding of capitalism. The great revolutionary mentor, Comrade Lenin, said that it was true that capitalists could sell their own ropes for profit.

After that, Viktorv's work in the United States was much easier. Many equipment and technologies that were urgently needed in the Soviet Union were bought by Viktorv in the bankrupt factory. In the past, these equipment and technologies have cost a lot of money, but now only a small amount of capital is needed to let its holders or escrow banks hand it over.

As a result, Viktorv also received domestic awards for his work in the United States. But for Viktorv, domestic recognition can only be considered icing on the cake, as long as he can continue to be responsible for procurement in the United States, it is considered satisfactory. This is not because he has any bad thoughts about the purchase cost. Viktor is not stupid. The purchase cost is clearly marked and there are many people monitoring each other. How could he make a mistake on this kind of principled issue, but he likes to see the tragic scene of capitalism, which makes him extremely comfortable like eating honey.

To ensure that he stays in the United States in the future and seeing the American people in dire straits, Viktorv still needs to work hard.

"Levsky, return the information of Tork Tractor Factory and tell their boss, Mr. Tork, that we are very dissatisfied with his offer. If he does not lower the price, we will stop talking to him about the acquisition."

Secretary Levsky walked in quickly and took over the information. "Okay, I will do it now."

But Levsky couldn't help asking when he walked to the door. "Tolk Tractor Factory is the one with the lowest quotation in this batch as far as I know. Why should I send its documents back?"

The secretary's words made Viktorv raise his eyebrows. "You want to know why?"

"If it is not convenient to tell me, then I will send the information immediately."

Although he doesn't know why his boss said that, Levsky knew that you should not be too curious about going there.

"It's okay, it's not something that you can't let you know. Since you want to know, just tell you." Viktorv said with a frosty face. "Because the information shows that Tork Tractor Factory is a new plant that has been opened for five years, and its equipment is also brand-new. What I have learned is that Tork Tractor Factory was indeed a new factory opened five years ago. The factory, the equipment is just buying second-hand equipment to use these second-hand equipment to sell the new equipment money, which is at a loss for Mr. Tolk to figure it out."

After hearing what his boss said, Levsky couldn't help but cursed. "This **** profiteer."

In his heart, Levsky scolded the profiteer once again. No wonder the profiteer introduced his niece to him, so he still had this idea. Fortunately, my boss is shrewd and didn't let myself fall into it.

After watching the secretary go, Viktov couldn't help laughing. In fact, where did I know this situation? It is only necessary to leak out this Mr. Tolk's quotation slightly, and then others will inevitably inform themselves of its bad side. Repeatedly, I can know these factories well. Then, among a group of capitalists, they can choose the most suitable Soviet company to buy.

This is also a little trick of Viktorv, which facilitates his choice.

And just when Viktov was complacent about it, a staff member broke in.

"Comrade Viktov, a group of our acquisition targets in Detroit were purchased in advance."
