Lu Mingyue's words immediately made Fang Mingyuan feel refreshed, and he suddenly remembered that like the Lu family, the Mei family, and the Chai family, the elders are the families of the founding fathers, and they must know some figures in the Soviet officialdom, after all, there was still a honeymoon period between China and the Soviet Union. During that period, China and the Soviet Union were very closely connected both economically and politically, and as important leaders of the country, they would definitely deal with the Soviets because of their official duties.
And the sons and nephews of those Soviet leaders at that time are now in the prime of life, although it is unlikely to become important leaders of the Soviet Union, but it is still possible to be a leader equivalent to our department and minister.
As expected, Lu Mingyue said the names of several Soviets, and from the point of view of official positions, they were all considered to be members of one side, but in Siberia, there was only one named Hesky, who served as an administrative official in Chita Prefecture in Siberia. He is not familiar with Soviet officialdom, and he still can't figure out the level of this person.
Lu Mingyue saw that Fang Mingyuan didn't remember what he said, so she took out a pen and paper from the study and wrote down everything that Fang just said. "There are only a few people I can remember, and I'll ask you again when I go back and see if there are any relationships I don't know."
"That's too much Uncle Lu!" Fang Mingyuan took it with both hands, this was really an accident, why didn't he think about it. I have to ask Chai Yan and Mei Dongze, as well as Old Man Su, to see what they have to do with the Soviet Union. As long as this is human society, interpersonal relationships are indispensable, and it is easy to do things with relationships, which is not a patent of Huaxia. With these relationships, when you go to the Soviet Union, you will have a lot of peace of mind, whether it is traveling or doing errands.
"Fang Shao......"
"Uncle still call me Mingyuan like before, this matter can be regarded as the past, you don't have to be so polite." Fang Mingyuan said with a smile.
Lu Mingyue also smiled dumbly and said: "Okay, Mingyuan, is this Sino-Soviet trade really promising?" As far as he knows, in terms of the number of trade between China and the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union may not even rank in the top five. Not to mention Japan and the United States, even Britain, France and Germany can't compare. And he always believed that the Jishu content of Soviet goods was lower than that of Europe and the United States. Fang Mingyuan has this spiritual head, and Weishenme does not vigorously develop exports to Japan and the United States.
"For now, there's a lot of potential for development!" Fang Mingyuan said, "The commodities that my country currently exports are low-grade products in Europe and the United States, and only those who are not wealthy will buy them." But in the Soviet Union, they lacked light industrial products, but they regarded our products as high-end products, and of course, they also had goods from European and American countries, but those goods were generally expensive. Therefore, in the eyes of the Soviets, our country's goods are synonymous with good quality and low price. If we can build a trade channel between China and the Soviet Union and sell China's unsalable light industrial products to the Soviet Union, on the one hand, it can help state-owned enterprises to recoup funds, carry out equipment transformation, and replace products, and on the other hand, we can also exchange the materials we need from the Soviet Union. Isn't it the best of both worlds? ”
Fang Mingyuan remembered that in his previous life, he had seen an article on the foreign trade exports of China and the Soviet Union, in which he mentioned that because China's goods were of higher quality and cheaper than those of the Soviet Union, at first, in order to limit the influence of China's goods in the Soviet Union, the Soviet government sold most of the goods imported from China in remote places such as Siberia and forest harvesting areas, and it was rare to see them in the shopping malls of those big cities. However, since the relations between China and the Soviet Union eased in the 80s, many of the light textiles, native animal products, and consumer goods exported by China to the Soviet Union began to re-enter Moscow and other big cities. At that time, when Huaxia's goods appeared in the Moscow market, the citizens of Moscow rushed to tell each other, and they were so excited that they immediately lined up in front of the counter, waiting to buy a product from Huaxia.
It's a pity that after the collapse of the Soviet Union, due to the "mixed fish" in the early batch of Chinese "fallen masters" in that year, some people brought inferior products to Russia in order to pursue huge profits, such as "down jackets" with glass ballast in cotton wool. Many unscrupulous traders even use glue to glue the wool to the artificial leather and fill the down jacket with black-hearted cotton. There are still a few days to crack the open leather shoes. These shoddy, shoddy and counterfeit goods have seriously damaged the reputation of Chinese goods among the Russians. For a while, some Moscow shops simply hung signs on their doors: they do not sell pirated goods and Chinese goods. And this incident also directly led to the rapid decline in the volume of trade between China and the Soviet Union.
Later, the Chinese government strictly controlled the export of goods, and the volume of trade between China and the Soviet Union gradually rebounded. However, once the brand is destroyed, it will be difficult to re-establish it. At least until Fang Mingyuan's death in his previous life, Huaxia's goods were still synonymous with low-grade goods in the CIS countries.
Of course, he would never reveal these things to Lu Mingyue and Wu Wei. However, this did not hinder Fang Mingyuan's confidence in the development of the Soviet market, the Nande company's Mu Zhong, no foreign trade rights, no funds, no aviation management rights, but the "karate" to the extreme: with 400 million yuan worth of 500 wagons of daily commodities to exchange the Soviet Union's four Tu-154 aircraft back to China, he wanted funds and funds, and he had a relationship and a relationship, and he also had the advantage of foresight.
"Fang Shao is right, although the Soviet Union's goods are really not very good in terms of function and appearance, not even our goods are inferior, let alone compared with European and American countries, but their things are also good, such as trucks, motorcycles, and their logs, their fur coats, caviar, which are all good things. And, as far as I know, the population of Siberia and the Far East in the Soviet Union is about 30 million, of which 7 percent are urban. Due to the harsh climatic conditions in this region, which seriously affected agricultural production, and the local light industry production was very backward, it was simply unable to meet the needs of the residents. This provided a realistic possibility for our goods to enter the Soviet market. Wu Wei also echoed on the side. At this time, his heart was relieved, and he couldn't think of kicking Zhang Xianli to the Sino-Soviet border, but it led to a new topic and eased the relationship between the two sides. This is Xiao He who succeeds, and Xiao He who fails!
Being able to have a common language with this party, and then befriending him, maybe...... Maybe it's a blessing in disguise!
Fang Mingyuan nodded approvingly, in his opinion, in order to achieve the grand goal of four modernizations by the end of this century, Huaxia must speed up the construction of rural areas and cities, and accelerate the transformation of those old state-owned factories. It is necessary to import a large number of raw materials such as wood, cement, steel, pig iron, and oil, as well as various machinery and equipment, which the Soviet Union can provide in large quantities. Moreover, the military jishu of the Soviet Union, even after two thousand years, is something that Americans dare not underestimate. If we can open up the Soviet market, it is best to delay the disintegration of the Soviet Union for another ten or eight years, then China, which is on the left and right, can obtain the greatest benefits in this war between countries without gunpowder.
Moreover, compared with European and American countries, China and the Soviet Union are connected by railways, highways and waterways, which are convenient for transportation and low in freight, which is very beneficial to expanding trade between the two countries. Moreover, in the 60s, Huaxia joined the railway intermodal transport agreement with the participation of 12 countries, including the Soviet Union, Eastern European countries, Mongolia, North Korea, and Vietnam. This is a trade between the two countries. The transportation of import and export goods has provided great convenience. Fang Mingyuan even had an idea to sell Huaxia's goods to the former republics of the Soviet Union and Eastern European countries. This is a rare opportunity, not only for the other party Mingyuan, but also for Huaxia.
Although this Wu Wei did not get to the point, it would be very good to be able to have this awareness, at least as far as Fang Mingyuan knew, in this era, many people in the government who study Sino-Soviet relations, and Sino-American relations are not aware of this at all.
Lu Mingyue's face became more and more solemn, Wu Wei said that, even if he said so, but Fang Mingyuan also thought so, so he had to pay attention to this matter. Fang Mingyuan's talent in business, he didn't dare to ignore it at all. He was thinking in his heart, if the Lu family would also participate in this matter, he would be able to win a great fortune! And listening to Fang Mingyuan's meaning, this matter is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, I believe that the old man can't say anything, maybe he can get a good impression from the leader.
Lu Mingyue knows that over the years, how to solve the problem of the overall loss of state-owned enterprises and the backlog of a large number of commodities, these leaders of the central government have simply turned their heads white. If this problem cannot be properly resolved, the chain reaction caused by it is enough to shake the country's capital! If, as Fang Mingyuan said, it is possible to export these light industrial products by strengthening trade between China and the Soviet Union in exchange for materials needed at home, this is political capital!
"Mr. Wu, I think that's it, that brother-in-law of yours, heavy punishment can be waived, but it can't be too cheap for him, you have to let him remember it for a long time! Otherwise, it will cause you more trouble in the future. Fang Mingyuan suddenly turned the topic back to Zhang Xianli.
"Fang Shao, in front of you, how dare I call me Mr., you can call me Wuwei directly!" Wu Wei said respectfully, a character who can communicate with Lu Mingyue on an equal footing, even if he is young, is not comparable to him.
Regarding Wu Wei's words, Fang Mingyuan said noncommittally: "Just let him go to Fang's restaurant and do chores for a week!" ”V
