"Since everyone is a fellow countryman, why do I only sell 200 yuan for goods that can be sold for at least 50 rubles?" Liang Haiping smiled and debunked Andre's old bottom, and directly shook out the market price.

To Liang Yuan's surprise, Andre, who was exposed, didn't even look the slightest bit unusual, just laughed, reached out and patted Liang Haiping's shoulder, stretched out his thumb and shook it and said: "Looking at Brother Haiping's dress, he doesn't look like an ordinary trader, I really didn't guess wrong." ”

Hearing what the mixed-race hairy man in front of him said, Liang Yuan finally couldn't help laughing, the face of this guy in front of him was really not ordinarily thick.

"Four hundred windbreakers, eight hundred down jackets, really can't be too much, we don't tell lies in front of people who understand. Andrei took out a Soviet ID card full of Cyrillic letters and shook it a few times, and continued: "Brother Haiping doesn't have this, he can't enjoy the preferential treatment of non-trade rubles, even if he takes the risk of setting up a stall, there is no way to exchange non-trade rubles for international currencies, I think Brother Haiping should not have the intention of settling in the Soviet Union and holding rubles for a long time." ”

After World War II, the planned economics of the Soviet Union and the market economics of the capitalist camp were placed side by side, becoming one of the two most mainstream economic theories on the planet.

From a scientific point of view, the difference between planned economics and the current level of human civilization is like an interstellar engine that can achieve curvature navigation on a board car pulled by animal power. The Soviets engaged in an incomparably insane large-scale economic practice.

The non-trade ruble is one of the strange products that the Soviet Union made under the guidance of planned economics, after the Soviet Union established the Warsaw Pact and established the Cold War pattern of the Mutual Economic Commission. Concepts such as markets and capital became ideologically important issues and were abandoned, and the Soviet government began to introduce new ways of trading and non-trading rubles within the Economic and Economic Commission.

Excluding those twisting economic terms, to put it simply, if the goods of the exporting country to the Soviet Union can be sold for eight rubles in the Soviet Union, then it does not mean that the goods of the exporting country have a value of about eight rubles, and these eight rubles can only indicate the price of the goods in the Soviet Union's non-trade rubles, and if it is settled in trade rubles, it is only worth one trade ruble, in other words, don't look at the eight dollars you sold. But you can only take one piece with you, and love will go away.

What's even worse is that the foreign settlement of trade led by the Soviet government only uses trade rubles, of course, private trade in the Soviet Union can be settled in non-trade rubles, but the concept of zĂ i private still exists in the socialist camp.

After all, Lao Maozi did not play the cunning of the United States with hundreds of years of capital, and the United States used soft means such as debt, interest rates, capital, and deflation to exploit its allies, and the exploited ones were still crying bitterly and grateful. The Soviet Union's new trick of trading rubles and non-trade rubles has no technical content, and is basically similar to the open robbery.

After the introduction of the new game of non-trade rubles and trade rubles in the Soviet Union, the ratio between the two fell from 8.7:1 at the beginning to about 2.2:1 by the end of the eighties.

Except that in a few years the Soviet ruble will depreciate into waste paper. The overlord policy of trading rubles and non-trade rubles is also the key to Liang Yuan's failure to invest in shopping malls in the Soviet Union, and the same fifty rubles will become trade rubles in Liang Yuan's hands, and can only be exchanged for 8o dollars in exchange for dollars. In Andrei's hands it becomes a non-trade ruble, but in exchange for dollars it can be exchanged for close to 18o dollars.

It can be said that in the years when Russia embraced the West in full force. The reason why future Russian oligarchs are all native Russians also has a lot to do with the fact that this policy has been maintained since the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Ignoring the smugness hidden in Andre's eyes, Liang Haiping patted Andrei's shoulder with his hand and said: "Big brother is quick to talk, but as far as I know, there are other settlement methods in Sino-Soviet trade besides using rubles, thank you Brother An." ”

"Otherwise?" Andrei repeated in a low voice in Russian, somewhat confused.

"Barter, for example. Liang Haiping said as he took out a black business card holder from his coat pocket, took out a gray business card from behind and handed it to Andre.

"China Town, Suifenhe City, Black Province...... , Brother Haiping, who are you?" Andre had a look of great surprise on his face.

As the forerunner of Russia's downfall, Andrei knows that the current Sino-Soviet border trade is not so much about two countries, but more accurate as one country and one market.

"Take this and go to the group buying office in Chinatown and they'll give you the Diamond level membership. Liang Haiping said with a smile.

A streak of blood rose from Andrei's neck, and in the blink of an eye, it spread across his entire face.

Although the big market established by Liang Yuan in Suifenhe uses the shell of traditional commerce, the internal operation idea uses the framework of Taobao, the Internet hegemon of later generations, and the only difference is that all the current stores are operated by the big market itself.

In addition to lower discounts, annual rebates and other discounts, diamond-level members can also obtain considerable credit points for the purchase of daily commodities in the large market.

Members of this level, if the trade volume of the fallen masters is slowly accumulated according to individual battles, it will take close to two years to obtain, and these things are simply clear to Andre who is rolling in the dumping pile.

I met a nobleman, I walked to pick up money, and I fell a pie in the sky.......

Waving his hand to interrupt Andre's words of gratitude, Liang Haiping laughed and said: "I'm going to the consulate soon, this batch of goods and the eldest brother are inseparable, but everyone is a compatriot, and the big brother has time to return to Chinatown, please take care of it." ”

After refusing to lead Andrei, and leaving Andrei's contact address in Moscow, Liang Haiping and Liang Yuan walked out of Moscow's Red Square.

Because the Republic was extremely important in the socialist camp in those years, the Embassy of the Republic was not far from the Kremlin, and after leaving Red Square, the two men walked for less than 20 minutes to the Chinese Consulate in Moscow, No. 6 Friendship Street, Moscow.

The embassy is a typical powder-gray auditorium-style building, the square building does not have any curves, the surface of the seven-storey building is inlaid with rows of neat windows, the only thing that is unusual is that the building's architect has raised a part of the building's load-bearing frame, making the building more rigid.

Pushing open the revolving glass door on the ground floor of the building, Liang Yuan followed Liang Haiping into the consulate.

Probably because China and the Soviet Union had not yet restored normal state relations, the reception hall on the first floor of the embassy was silent, and only two embassy staff members who seemed to be receptionists sat in their office positions on the left side of the hall.

Liang Haiping took out his passport and the text he brought from China, and explained his intention in the somewhat curious eyes of the reception staff, and after a while, a middle-aged and elderly man in his early forties and three middle-aged and young people in their thirties walked down the stairs on the right side of the hall.

"Welcome Mr. Liang to Moscow for an inspection visit. Far away, the middle-aged and elderly people stretched out their hands to Liang Haiping, and Liang Yuan was startled by the enthusiasm that came to his face.

"After receiving the news of Mr. Liang's trip to the Soviet Union, we confirmed it with China several times, but unfortunately we didn't get Mr. Liang's specific itinerary, and it was a great pity that we couldn't pick up Mr. Liang for the first time. ”

"Ambassador Kong is too polite, he has been handling the company's business in Shenzhen recently, and he can't confirm the time of departure. Liang Haiping said with a smile.

Liang Yuan watched Liang Haiping and Kong Huarong, the ambassador of the Republic to the Soviet Union, clasping hands with each other and touting each other, and after a little thought, he figured out the truth behind Kong Huarong's enthusiasm.

Since the conflict between China and the Soviet Union entered a superficial confrontation on Zhenbao Island, the embassies of both sides have been in name only, and after cutting off official exchanges at any level, they have basically become the target of the other side's national anger.

Only in the 70s, the embassy of the Republic in the Soviet Union was smashed 4 times by the Soviet people who protested and marched, and the glass of the embassy would be completely replaced after each turmoil, and a few truckloads of rotten eggs, bricks, inkwells and other debris could be cleaned out of the yard.

The key to the obvious acceleration of the thaw in Sino-Soviet relations lies in the fact that Gorbachev, general secretary of the CPSU, who has just gained the highest power, has just gained the highest power, and the core work of the embassy at present is to break the diplomatic ice and promote Gorbachev's visit to China, thus paving the way for the normalization of Sino-Soviet relations.

As far as the Soviet Union was concerned, it would have made money as soon as basic exchanges were resumed, and if relations between the two countries were normalized, wouldn't it be even more lucrative?

"Who is this little comrade ......?" Kong Huarong, who had been chatting with Liang Haiping for a long time, finally noticed Liang Yuan, who was standing in the middle of the hall and looking at him idly. (To be continued.)
