Chapter 712: Buying Cooperation
When Colonel Yuri sat helplessly on his chair and waited for the orderlies to bring the wine and food, a guard platoon commander suddenly broke in and handed the name card sent by Zheng Tao to Yuri. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Because of his years of dealing with Chinese, Yuri, who usually doesn't have much to do, actually learned a mouthful of Chinese, and even most of the Chinese characters he can recognize.
Therefore, in less than half a minute, Yuri finished reading the famous post, and then frowned and said to himself: "Deputy Minister of the Economic Department of the Governor's Office of the Three Northeast Provinces, what is he looking for me, is he here to do business with me." But I have nothing but more than a thousand people in my hands, so does he want to smuggle weapons and ammunition from me? ā
"No matter what, no matter if the other party invites you to eat, if you don't go, you won't go in vain. The food in the barracks is too monotonous, and there is no comparison with the food in the Great Qing Kingdom at all, so let's eat the food first! ā
Yuri, who first frowned, and then quickly made a decision, immediately left the regimental headquarters with a few guards.
After being taken to a restaurant not far away by Zheng Tao, looking at a table of delicacies, Colonel Maozi's eyes immediately shot out two fine lights.
Colonel Yuri was not polite, and as soon as he sat down in his seat, he began to eat and drink.
After a few glasses of spirits, Colonel Yuri, whose face was slightly red, had already begun to call Zheng Tao brothers.
By the time Yuri had eaten almost enough, the dinner table was already in a mess. Zheng Tao directly asked people to clean up, and then took out a few cans of canned food and a vat of spirits that had been prepared a long time ago.
"Minister Zheng, what are you?" Colonel Yuri, who was already a little drunk, asked with a puzzled expression.
After asking his subordinates to open all the cans and wine vats, Zheng Tao replied with a smile: "These things are some small things that my Jiangdong Army has just made, and I want Commander Yuri to taste whether it suits your Russian appetite." ā
Yuri, who didn't have too many doubts, tasted it and replied: "This is canned beef, this is canned mutton, and this is canned pork, the taste is average, and there is no comparison with the dish just eaten." ā
"As for the wine in the tank, it's about the same as the vodka we usually drink!"
This assessment is very pertinent, and it is similar to what I expected. Therefore, the smile on Zheng Tao's face did not change at all, and he continued to ask.
"Colonel Yuri, if we send these cans and spirits to your country to sell, do you think we can sell them?"
"Send it to China and sell it!" Yuri was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted.
After thinking for a while, he replied hesitantly, "I should be able to sell it." Now that there is a shortage of materials in the country, as long as the price is right, the spirits in this vat must have a lot of sales, and it tastes too much like vodka. ā
"As for canned food, there shouldn't be much to sell. Ordinary people rarely eat meat, and those who can eat meat are rich people. And the taste of these canned meat is not very good, rich people would rather buy meat and eat it themselves, and they will not buy these canned meat. ā
Zheng Tao immediately asked rhetorically: "Rich people will definitely not buy it, what I want to ask is, if these canned meat are sent to your army, will anyone buy them!" ā
"The army? Absolutely. "I thought that the logistics department at the higher level had not delivered meat to the troops for several months, and the subordinates were about to fade out of their illness after eating bread every day. Yuri blurted out subconsciously, and then continued to add.
"But there is a premise, these canned meats are not expensive. Otherwise, the soldiers would rather buy raw meat and eat it themselves, and they would not buy these canned meat that didn't taste very good to eat. ā
Zheng Tao asked rhetorically: "I have recommended these canned foods to your logistics procurement department, will they purchase them in large quantities?" ā
Yuri first showed a shocked expression, and then replied: "Minister Zheng, you actually want to fight the idea of our logistics department, is your appetite too big!" ā
"I admit that because of the rise in domestic prices, the logistics department's limited military spending is no longer able to purchase meat for the troops. But you want to market your cans to the back office, which seems to me almost impossible, unless it's given to them for free. ā
"Nothing is impossible!" At this time, Zheng Tao had completely believed Yang Xingguo's analysis of the current situation in Russia, and then said confidently to Colonel Yuri.
Before Yuri could react, Zheng Tao continued: "We plan to cooperate with Colonel Yuri to sell these cans and spirits, and one percent of all the proceeds will belong to you, and we will also take out one percent of the proceeds to let Colonel Yuri have some relationship with you, of course, if Colonel Yuri has the ability to sell canned food and spirits without making connections, then this profit is also yours." ā
As a Russian, Yuri is well aware of the importance of spirits, especially vodka, to every Russian.
Many people even skip meals to save money and buy a bottle of vodka to drink.
Therefore, Yuri is sure that these spirits, which taste almost like vodka, will be able to sell all of them in a very short period of time in the face of the shortage of domestic materials and rising prices, no matter how much he faints in the country.
At that time, as long as the Liaodong Army has enough supplies, it will mean that for themselves, a steady stream of shares will fall into their pockets.
Thinking of this, Yuri's shocked eyes shot out two rays of light directly, and then asked with a look of longing: "Minister Zheng, what you said is true!" ā
"It's more real than real gold. In addition, I will tell you that the spirits I offer you will only be cheaper than vodka. Canned beef and mutton can be eaten directly, eliminating the need for processing, and the price is nearly 20% cheaper than raw meat on the market. ā
"As long as Colonel Yuri can get through the logistics department of the Far Eastern Military District and turn canned food and spirits into military products, I guarantee that in less than a year, Colonel Yuri will become a millionaire."
Although it costs money to get through the relationship, Colonel Yuri knows very well that if these two things can really enter the army, the benefits he can get will definitely be higher than the pay, and much higher.
There are more than 200,000 Russian troops in the Far Eastern Military District alone, and according to the calculation of five cans a month for a soldier, that is one million cans. This is only a month and a Far Eastern Military District, and if all the Russian troops eat this kind of canned food, they may become millionaires according to the proportion of 10%.
Seeing that Colonel Yuri was getting more and more excited the more he thought about it, Zheng Tao hurriedly reminded: "What are you thinking about, do you want to cooperate with us." As far as I know, the current Russian army is no longer the Russian army of a few decades ago, and many officers are nobles, who have come to the army to mix military exploits to make money. As long as we are willing to spend money, there should be no problem in turning spirits and cans into military supplies for your Russian army. ā
Yuri must know the current situation of the Russian army better than Zheng Tao, and after thinking about it for less than a minute, he agreed, and asked his subordinates to pack a large number of samples, and prepare well after they returned. (To be continued.) )
