In the early 80s, low-degree bulk liquor was about four or five cents a pound (distilled liquor, undistilled two cents and a pound are available), which was slightly cheaper than pork, and there was no need for a ticket.

The quality of the relatively guaranteed high wine is only eight cents to two pieces.

According to the goods of the villagers in the winery of Isminaya's family, a production line for cleaning, quality inspection, sealing and packaging, plus materials and transportation, the final cost of one and a half pounds will not exceed 2 yuan.

If you sell it in the market at 5 yuan a bottle, it will be a gross profit of 3 yuan.

Even if the various costs at the management level are removed, half of the final net profit is still very secure.

This year, a total of 40,000 boxes have been shipped, which means that the sales volume is 1.5 million and the net profit is 750,000.

In the era when the first batch of 10,000 households has just appeared, and generally does not exceed 50,000 yuan, this data is very eye-catching. What's more, most of the bold 10,000 households in the early days were in the southeast coast, and the mainland's response was often slower, so this case was even more demonic.

Of course, in fact, Mina's family does not have so much money on their books, because of the upfront investment in plants, equipment and other things that they have to make from all kinds of money at the beginning. If that part is removed, there will be 500,000 net leftovers in the account. (Gu Biao also gave an advertisement with a market price of 300,000 yuan for Mina's house)

In terms of absolute value, Mina's family's small amount of money is only one-fiftieth of Gu Ao's family property.

But Gu Biao is a relatively hidden "invisible rich", and those who know that he is rich are all high-level.

But Mina's family is a "capable person" who has attracted attention from all over the world, and the hatred value drawn is obviously incomparable.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, as a self-employed person, or the most inconvenient place for inland transportation, the first of all, the biggest difficulty is to batch wagons - try all means, white, gray, it is impossible to get enough wagons from the railway bureau to transport goods, so it restricts the further expansion of sales.

Secondly, there are all kinds of people who are smashed and robbed, which are all petty fights, but they are not easy to deal with.

……

"I want to be in the file because I really want to support the ideas and lines of the file, work actively, obey discipline, and be an atheist. Of course, even if I do, I will not be separated from the masses, and I will respect and follow the folk activities of others.

That's what I wrote on my application, and I'm sure the school will look at me as well. But I've always been worried that if I nominally run my family's factory in the future, will I be said to be an atheist for the sake of selling alcohol...... Senior, do you think people will believe in my enlightenment? Do you believe in my enlightenment?"

Ishminaya said this, slightly decadent.

Gu Biao knew that he couldn't talk nonsense, so he carefully chose words and sentences: "What is this, the law will support you." As long as it's your own choice and no one forces you, then do it right? ”

Of course, I did it absolutely voluntarily! Not for anyone! Of course, it was the great truth you made when I was in Iraq that gave me the courage to choose my own path. Isminaya emphasized.

"Then let me emphasize again, no matter what path you are taking, I will always understand and support you, as a friend. Of course, I may not necessarily follow the same path as you, and maybe I will also focus on business in the future, but I haven't seen it clearly yet, and I don't want to make a rash commitment to something that I can't do in the future. ”

That is, to put it mildly, he will not submit the application with Ishminaya.

However, Gu Biao's attitude has already made the younger sister quite excited, and she also feels the backbone.

She's been confused lately.

"Alas, I originally wanted to thank you, but I didn't expect it to beg you for enlightenment and cause you trouble. Mina smiled shyly as she broke the steamed bun, "Let's take it easy, I recently called my family and had a new idea—since it is easy to be hated and made excuses to sell in the mainland, it is not easy to get railway wagons." Next year, we might as well save some money and develop in other directions. ”

Gu Biao listened carefully with great interest: "Oh, will Xiao Mina think of her own plan?" Come and listen, I'll help you check it." ”

Mina plucked up her courage: "Don't laugh when you say it—after all, we are also engaged in diplomacy, and we can still see the situation clearly." The Soviets have been doing their work against Afghanistan for just a few days. The last time you analyzed with me, you said that the Soviets would get into a quagmire, so let's gamble.

For example, if by the middle of next year, the Soviets have not cleaned up Afghanistan, this means that the Soviet Union will, in accordance with the past practice, tilt foreign exchange and state resources toward the military industry, and gradually fall into a state of extreme shortage of agricultural and sideline products and light industrial products.

In the coming years, ordinary people in the Soviet Union will certainly fall into the embarrassment of slowly not being able to buy vodka. At that time, let's not look for wagons that have traveled thousands of miles to the mainland, and ship them directly at Alashankou and sell them to Kazakhstan. There will definitely be Soviet black market businessmen, large and small, who will rush to buy them. ”

Gu Ao's eyes lit up, and he realized that he really underestimated his schoolgirl.

Mina, although she can't do it in other fields, has an absolutely thorough analysis of the culture and folklore of the Middle East and Central Asia, after all, it is her hometown where she grew up. After following Gu Biao to Iraq and broadening his horizons, his ability has been adjusted to a higher level.

To put it mildly, the girl almost understands the main languages of the "Belt and Road" in Central Asia in later generations, and even the history, economy and politics.

Afghanistan will become a quagmire, it was Gu Biao who argued in the international diplomatic situation analysis class, and Mina just believed it unconditionally. And the latter analysis is obviously the result of the girl's own research.

The wine of Elite Qu, in terms of the taste of mainlanders, just feels "bold" and is rough and pleasant to drink. But for the Central Asian steppe peoples of the Soviet Union, it was very much in demand.

However, the Soviet Union did not reform and open up, and the young industry and agricultural and sideline industries in the next ten years were exhausted. When there is no vodka to sell, the liquor made from corn and barley in Central Asia, which has a slightly lower degree, will definitely be in demand.

(Note: Our history books often write about Moscow citizens queuing for two days and two nights to buy vodka, but this was mainly before World War II and even after the start of the war in Afghanistan in the 80s.) Before Afghanistan, the economic structure of the Soviet Union was okay, and consumer goods were not so scarce. ）

At the same time, the original disadvantages of Minajia Distillery, that is, high transportation costs and insufficient capacity, became an advantage after switching markets.

Other domestic liquors had to be shipped to the Northeast first, sold from Manzhou to the Soviet Union, and then transported to the European part of the Soviet Union by the Trans-Siberian Railway, and the railways on the permafrost plateau were often in disrepair and costly.

And Mina's distillery is directly out of the port of Alashankou, which is already a Kazakh Central Asian steppe, and the follow-up will be completed by the Soviets' own Kazakh railway.

It can still earn foreign exchange, although it is a ruble, and the force is a little worse.

However, it is possible to take advantage of the cheap characteristics of the Soviet Union's industrial production equipment, directly barter goods into textile machinery, and then resell them to businessmen who want to engage in cotton spinning in Xinjiang - in the 80s, cotton spinning in the northwest was still relatively poor, and as the most important cotton producing area, most of the cotton was directly transported back to the mainland for processing.

Moreover, as long as it is to earn foreign exchange, it can be better protected by the state, and it will not be destroyed by Xiaoxiao with excuses.

"This is a good plan, it's really impressive. Gu Biao admired from the bottom of his heart.

The school girl is no longer the budding newcomer who moved and moved with him at the beginning, and she has grown so much after only half a year of training with him.

Mina hung her head and played with her hair while being modest: "What's the matter, I learned from you~ That's why I want to thank you." Otherwise, I'll treat you to another movie today. After all, my family has developed, and it is because of the patch advertisements sent by you, seniors, that we don't forget to dig wells when we drink water. ”

Seeing the schoolgirl taking advantage of the situation, a vigilant thought flashed in Gu Ao's heart.

I've already scourged a beautiful writer.

"Of course it's okay to watch a movie," Gu Biao smiled awkwardly and prevaricated, while finishing the steamed bun, "By the way, there is actually another thing that I haven't had a chance to share with you - I had a girlfriend in the few days I went to the United States." Sister Xiao and me...... Together. ”

Ishminaya didn't see any fluctuations in her expression, but the color of her face changed several times.

"That's really congratulations, she knew you first, and you and he are friends in trouble, each of them is very righteous and has been kind to each other, it's really ...... What a natural pair. Mina had already practiced the joys and sorrows of a diplomat, and then she changed the subject lightly,

"However, you are in such a hurry to share with me, it seems a little out of tune - we are just good friends, shouldn't you explain it to Senior Sister Ye first?"

Gu Biao was stunned for a moment: "What do you say Ye Kun? I don't owe her anything at all, and besides, I don't want to be confused with the girls of the high-ranking officials. ”

Mina: "Don't say you don't know that Senior Sister Ye is interesting to you. ”

Gu Biao: "But I made it clear that I wasn't interested in her." She knows, so she knows that her friendship with me has always been a good friend - of course, you must not tell anyone else, for girls, this is a very shameful thing after all. As a good friend, I can't hurt her reputation, it's a basic righteousness. ”

Mina suddenly realized: It turned out that Senior Gu had privately made it clear to Senior Sister Ye that he did not consider the third generation of officials, "She is a good girl, but everyone is not suitable."

In this case, Senior Sister Ye should know that the follow-up intimacy is just between ordinary friends.

Of course, it is not excluded that Senior Sister Ye thinks to herself, "Although you say that it is not suitable, but you don't have a girlfriend after all, maybe everything is possible."

After all, the emotional matter is unclear, as long as the other party is still single, even if the mate selection conditions are clearly stated, it does not mean that the person who does not meet the requirements cannot fight for it, and both parties are wrong with this kind of thing.

It's not a job interview.

"I always thought that it was Senior Sister Ye who was pressing on my head, but I didn't expect it to become Sister Xiao. Isminaya didn't know what kind of mood to make.

She barely cleaned up the mess and calmly asked, "Then how did you come together? ”

Gu Biao naturally wouldn't deceive people: "At that time, our cover identity was originally ambiguous. I'm a young proprietor of a film and television company that praises beautiful writers and beautiful screenwriters? It was also eavesdropped and monitored by the Americans, and he couldn't get down the steps.

Of course, I definitely don't excuse myself, at that time, it was three points of rational thinking and seven points of sperm in the brain. The situation and atmosphere have reached that point, and I can't help it, and I plan to be responsible for her. I know that she is sincere to me, and we do have a bond of kindness and a common language. ”

"It turned out to be a secret mission for the country, and it was conspired by despicable Americans...... "Ishminaya directly filtered out Gu Wei's bad deeds and threw all the hatred on the Americans.

It can only be said that sixteen or seventeen-year-old ignorant otome always has selective blindness.
