Chapter 682: Diana's Ambition
New Bayi Chinese Network - A collection of online novel reading networks
The Russian branch of the new venture group is not so much a new venture as the general agent of products and the main structure of investment business.
The general agency business is naturally a variety of products of the new entrepreneurial department, which are sold as much as possible to the Russian market and the Eastern European market. It's just that at this stage, computers, VCDs, televisions and other consumer goods are too extravagant for hungry Russians, and it can be said that the purchasing power of the former Soviet Union is even worse than that of China, not to mention that the Soviet rubles received now will be turned into waste paper with the collapse of the Soviet Union. It is precisely for this reason that at present, these businesses are relatively small, even if a small amount of layout, it is mainly charged in US dollars, RMB, and Hong Kong dollars, and even if rubles are collected, they will soon be spent locally, and they will not save rubles as much as possible. After all, the dollar is more popular locally, and even if you pay taxes, it is the same to pay in dollars. To put it simply, before the collapse of the Soviet Union, the official acquiesced that the dollar was higher than the ruble, and gave up the sovereignty of the currency, which caused the economic difficulties to worsen to the point where they are today.
However, in terms of investment, hard currencies such as food and daily necessities are mainly paid, and a part of the ruble is paid, but local employees prefer to accept physical goods rather than banknotes, and if they are banknotes, it is more reassuring for the locals to give foreign currency than rubles.
After a month of operation, the new Russian branch has been stable. In the future, the business here does not seek to make money, but mainly to stabilize and continuously send senior talents to China and earn talent resources.
In addition, the development of the Russian market, although it is mainly cautious at present, but after surviving the initial difficulties, there is still a certain profit margin in the future. After all, Russia also has a population of hundreds of millions, and Russia will still be in the trench for a while in the future when the price of oil and gas rises. Therefore, the Russian market is only a part of the global layout for the time being, in order to have a presence in the local market, and to promote the technical standards to the local market, rather than simply looking at short- and medium-term profits.
After the Russian branch gradually stabilized, Lin Qi was about to return to China, and Diana saw that Lin Qi was already packing her luggage, and her eyes were obviously a little reluctant.
As the saying goes, a woman in love has an IQ of zero, and this is similar to Diana, I feel that the more I understand and contact Lin Qi, the more infatuated I am with this man, although there may not be results, but she hopes that she has more use value, so that this man often remembers her.
"I have something to talk to you about, you should know that my mother was in the smuggling business between China and the Soviet Union. Diana hesitated for a moment before saying.
"Hmm. Lin Qi nodded.
In order to develop her business, she was very bold and pulled more and more Soviet Far Eastern troops into the water. Now it can be said that the entire Far Eastern Army is in league with her. The cost of transportation for Sino-Soviet border trade would also be extremely low due to the participation of the Far Eastern army. I think we can take advantage of it. If it is used properly, it can establish a network of cheap goods that covers the Soviet Union, and I personally think that this business can be very profitable, and ...... Very marketable!"
Lin Qi was slightly taken aback, he didn't agree with Liu Cuifang's approach at first, thinking that this deformed trade between China and the Soviet Union was only a temporary excess. In the future, when the Russian order gradually stabilizes, especially when ordinary people come to power, they will definitely be liquidated.
originally thought that these two people should only be a bad man, and they couldn't afford to bribe several troops of the Soviet border guards. Who knows, it's actually ...... The entire Far Eastern Army was their own.
Lin Qi said in his heart, he really underestimated these two people, and actually corroded the entire Far East Army. You must know that although the Soviet Far East Army is not as elite as the legions stationed in Europe, for a long time, the pressure of the Soviet Union's hundreds of thousands of troops and nearly one million troops has made China unable to sleep well for decades. The biggest imaginary enemy every year is not the United States from the coast, but the Soviet Union from the north.
It is precisely for this reason that a large amount of military investment in northern China has seriously dragged down economic development. It can be said that if China and the Soviet Union do not turn their faces, China's economic development after the founding of the People's Republic of China will be much better than it is now.
The bigger problem is that the largest amount of military resources have been invested in the defense of the Soviet Union for a long time. This has led not only to the sluggishness of naval construction, but also to the lack of resources for economic construction.
However, the greatest fortunate thing for decades is that China is ready to fight, so the Soviet Union has always been very cowardly and has not really started fighting. Even Zhenbao Island in the late 60s was a small-scale military conflict, and the two sides quickly stopped expanding the scope of the conflict.
In other words, China is not ready to fight a big war, and it may really be fought. The best way to avoid war is to be ready for a world war, and to show your opponent your determination.
And now the Far Eastern Corps of the USSR, so to speak, has essentially lost its combat effectiveness. Corrupted into such an army, and, even with a large number of advanced weapons, I am afraid that the Soviet Union did not have the logistics to support the normal operation of these armies.
"Diana, illegal business is not okay!"
Lin Qi took the lead in stating his position, he will not waver at this point, although this is also a piece of fat, but it is not in his eyes, it is not worth it to bear an infamy for this bit of wealth.
"I know you won't agree. However, I made some preparations, and the Diana supermarket I was going to open was a regular and tax-paying company. Only in terms of logistics channels, it is cooperation with the armies of the Far East. In addition, the political forces in Moscow, I also listen to you, left and right, but avoid clear sides......"
Before the collapse of the Soviet Union, the entire social order also changed from the previous centralization and order to the current chaos and separation. Theoretically, the current Soviet Union, because of Gorbachev's nonsense for nearly a decade, has completely swept away its majesty. And the later Yeltsin was not a strongman, as long as he respected Yeltsin as president on the surface, he was basically fooled, in essence, after Russia's independence, in fact, the internal local divisions were already very serious. It was not until Putin came to power that the real unification of Russia began.
Of course, you have to be cautious and not be too keen on politics, especially the politics of the Soviet Union and Russia, because if you don't get it right, your life will be in danger. Politics is equivalent to gambling, and moreover, you get benefits from political forces, and if you are liquidated in the future, you will also suffer greater losses because you have made profits!"
In the end, Lin Qi was still a little more concerned, Diana was still very young, and it was difficult for a woman to gain a foothold in such a chaotic situation.
"I know, I'm only going to be a businessman, not going to speculate in politics!" said Diana, who thought to herself, that it was impossible for Russia to do business without cooperating with political forces. Telling Lin Qi like this is just to ask Lin Qi not to worry too much about her.
