    Leningrad is a famous heavy industrial area in the Soviet Union, so high-level talents are naturally indispensable.  Since Liu Dong decided to investigate, of course he had to follow the principle of proximity.  Therefore, the first target was set in a small town not far from Leningrad.

    The reason why we chose this town is because most of the people living in this town are senior scientific researchers in the factory. Although the town is not big, it has a lot of talents.  A few years ago, this town would have been very prosperous. The people coming in and out were all in neat suits, well-educated, and everyone seemed calm and calm.

    But now, in this small town called Valkinu, although everyone still wears neat suits, the atmosphere seems lifeless and lifeless.  People coming in and out are no longer optimistic. Although their faces are not full of sadness, their overall mood is not that good.

    Led by Levget, Liu Dong, Zhou Qingfu, Chen Jie, and a group of staff in the Soviet Union drove a Volga car into the central square of the town.  After getting off the car, Liu Dong was somewhat touched when he looked at the scene in front of him.

    Such a scene is not unfamiliar to Liu Dong. If a few years pass, such a situation will also occur in the Northeast, and it will be more serious.  In the small town of Valkinu, at least the ground is clean, the asphalt road is very smooth, and the signboards along the street, although they have lost their former glory, are not very dilapidated.

    But in a few years, when China's state-owned enterprises undergo large-scale mergers and bankruptcies, most northeastern towns that are similar to the town of Valkinu will not be more or less sympathetic like this one.  Complete decline.  Clean pavements and signboards like this don¡¯t appear in many places.  Most of these small towns will look very dilapidated. Not only are the roads full of potholes, but the signboards will become crooked and out of shape.

    This is not because Chinese people don¡¯t like cleanliness, but because the national strength of the two countries is different.  As a superpower, even if the Soviet Union declined, its foundation was not comparable to that of other countries.  But that was not the case in China at that time. Not to mention raising funds to build roads, even the wages of laid-off workers were a long-standing problem.

    Fortunately, at least at this time, the country has not become like this, and the situation that will appear in the future may also be changed to some extent.  For Liu Dong, there is at least a chance to remedy such a thing.  But now in the small town of Valkinu, there is no chance of redress.

    He strongly believes that as the Soviet Union continues to decline step by step, the small town of Varkinu, which can at least support the scene now, will become more and more deserted in the future. If there are no unexpected opportunities, this small town will definitely become deserted.  Go down until it finally becomes no man's land.

    Seeing Liu Dong looking around, Levget walked to Liu Dong, took out two cigars, handed one to Liu Dong, then lit one and took a puff.  He said slowly: "Dear Liu, this is the town of Varkinu. Most of the people who live here are senior talents working in the Leningrad Industrial Zone, including engineers, senior technicians, and  There are factory managers. The original intention of establishing this town was to solve the housing problem for some high-level talents. Even though this place only has a history of 40 years, in these 40 years, there are also some big names who have left this town.  Several. It can be said to be very glorious. Even Comrade Khrushchev knew about this place back then."

    "It seems that this town is not as simple as it seems. Since there are so many big shots leaving this town, why don't they try to save the neighbors here? For them, this problem should be very simple, right?  ?" Liu Dong asked in surprise.

    Before this, he really didn¡¯t know that this town had such a glorious history.  Although there are not many small towns like this around Leningrad, there are definitely not few.  Because as one of the important heavy industrial areas in the Soviet Union, there are many factories in Leningrad. If there are more factories, there will definitely be more workers in the factories.  As an industrial city, building large-scale residential areas in the city is obviously not in line with the positioning of an industrial city.

    The Soviet Union can be said to be the country with the least land shortage in the world. They inherited all the legacy of Tsarist Russia and continued to expand their territory after that.  Therefore, in order to provide those workers with a good place to live, their senior officials would never mind establishing many satellite cities or satellite towns around Leningrad.

    In this regard, China cannot compare.  In China, the most common method is to establish residential areas for workers within the factory area. Basically, there is no talk of setting aside a separate piece of land to build residential areas specifically for workers.  Whether they are ordinary workers or senior engineers, their remuneration is almost the same. At most, there is only some difference in the area of ????the housing.  But the Soviet Union was different. Ordinary workers mightIt's the same as Huaxia, but the treatment for high-level talents will be much better. Just like the town of Valkinu, it was built specifically for those talents.

    Therefore, the towns and small cities established around the heavy industrial area of ??Leningrad can be said to be densely packed.  With so many places, if any small town can reach the top, especially in the eyes of a person with Khrushchev's status, it itself proves the strength of this place.

    It is precisely because he knows something about such things that Liu Dong is surprised.  Since those big shots all came out from here, they will definitely be familiar with the town. Now that the town is in such a situation, won't the people still in the town react to the big shots?

    If it were in China, such a matter would have been brought to the top by long ago.  After all, there is a saying in the old Chinese tradition that walking in brocade clothes at night is not as good as returning home after becoming rich.  Where can big people best reflect their own value?  Isn¡¯t it in the eyes of old neighbors that you can best reflect your own value?  If you don't let people who knew you before know your abilities and don't show off, how can you be worthy of all the hard work over the years?

    But what Liu Dong sees now doesn¡¯t seem to be the case.  If there are really important people who care about this place, then no matter how depressed the Soviet Union is, this place will never become like this.  If the people above miss a little bit, it is enough to save such a small town.  Where can it be so lifeless?

    "Why should we save these people? Can these people bring any benefits to those big shots?" Levget was also very surprised by Liu Dong's words.

    After hearing this, Liu Dong knew.  This is probably due to different national conditions. Europeans are more rational than Asians, which is why science has become popular in Europe.  But in Asia, the main idea is more emotional, and more emphasis is placed on feelings.

    Liu Dong does not intend to go into depth on these issues that require philosophers to discuss.  He came to this town not to discuss these boring things to him, but to take advantage of the fire. Whether this town is brilliant or not is not very important to him. The important thing is that this  Whether there are talents in the place that meet his requirements.

    "Okay, let's get down to business. Didn't you say that there are talents here that I would be satisfied with? Let's go now and don't waste time here. I don't think you will be more willing to work here.  Can you stay here longer?" Liu Dong said.

    "Yes, the atmosphere here is not that good. Although it is very quiet, it does not suit my taste. Maybe when I am old and like quiet places, I will fall in love with it here. But now, I still like it  Noisy, not dull. Okay, man, come with me. I have inquired clearly before, and there is an old guy in that street who should meet our requirements." Levget said, holding his hand  Just point to one of the paths.

    Looking at the path pointed by Levget, Liu Dong didn't say much, greeted his group and followed them.

    Speaking of Levget, although he is very greedy and loves money, he does not have much morality at all.  But for the sake of money, his work ability is still worthy of recognition.  Let's just say that the place where the person Levget is taking Liu Dong to live is really remote enough. If he hadn't done a careful investigation, he would have definitely fainted due to the back and forth paths.

    But Levget seemed confident. Although he still had to stop from time to time to look at the map in his hand, he still walked firmly towards the goal.  After a roundabout route, Levget stopped in front of a group of relatively high-end villas.

    Then he turned around and said to Liu Dong: "My friend, this old guy named Serov who I asked about before should live in this villa area. But which villa I went to, I will  I really don¡¯t know. Because there is no house number in this villa area, and it¡¯s my first time here, so I have to ask someone.¡±

    Levget seems to have a headache about not having a house number.  This happened not because the Soviets were careless, but because the villa was originally designed to have no house number.  God knows why!  Probably for safety reasons, but now it is obvious that it is causing Liu Dong and the others more trouble.

    Levget was able to bring Liu Dong to this villa area at once, which can be regarded as a very good job.  All that's left is to ask the passers-by here. If it had been a few years earlier, this matter wouldn't have been a problem at all.

    At that time, the small town of Valkinu was full of people coming and going, and I don¡¯t know how lively it was.  But now, due to the downturn in the big industry, the popularity of the small town of Valkinu has ceased to exist.  Even in the daytime like this, it's hard to see a human figure, if I hadn't seen it outside a few times before.If one or two people walked by in a hurry, Liu Dong and the others would even think that this place was a ghost land.

    (The end of the world has passed. For the sake of honest updates, those who haven¡¯t collected the children¡¯s shoes should collect them.)
