Chapter 63: Airplanes

As can be seen from the Soviet Union, it is actually quite important for a country to balance its industrial structure and even its economic structure in all aspects. ★

In terms of industrial structure, if there is an imbalance between light and heavy industries, such as the Soviet Union, the development of its heavy industry is obvious to all, which makes the Soviet Union a world leader in many aspects such as tanks, fighter planes, missiles, and astronautics.

Of course, in terms of astronautics, the Americans landed on the moon first, but many people suspect that this is nothing more than a hoax set up by the Americans in order to compare themselves with the Soviet Union.

It is said that it is a hoax not only because of the various loopholes in the moon landing video given by the American side, but more importantly...... When the lunar module is launched from the Earth, it needs a rocket that is so large and loaded with so much booster fuel that it can escape the Earth's gravity and fly into space. So in the same way, when the lunar module escapes from the moon's gravitational pull, does it also need a rocket boost? Although the gravitational pull of the Moon is only one-sixth that of the Earth, it would be a joke if it could escape the gravitational pull of the Moon with only the fuel of the lunar module, as in the video.

From this, it can be seen that in fact, the Soviet Union even surpassed the United States in many heavy industries during this period, so there was a situation in which the Soviet Union attacked the United States and defended in this era. For example, the Soviet Union's strategic missiles are 1.4 times that of the US military, its nuclear power is almost three times that of the United States, and its tanks are five times that of the United States...... 79 The decision of the Soviet Union to go to war in Afghanistan in defiance of the opposition of the United States was made on this basis.

Of course, this is also partly due to the fact that the United States was mired in the Vietnam War, and both economically and militarily suffered.

However, the strength of heavy industry does not explain all the problems in a certain sense, as we see now, because the weakness of light industry caused the Soviet Union to have a shortage of all necessary daily necessities in only a few years after the war. Even I know. In the not-too-distant future, the mighty empire of the Soviet Union will collapse with a bang because of its irrational structure.

So. The right direction of development is based on agriculture. Industry-led.

The foundation of agriculture is a matter of life and death.

No matter how strong a country's industry is, if it does not have agriculture...... As long as the country is surrounded from the outside, the lives of the people will become a problem, and all tanks, warplanes, and warships will be turned into broken metal.

This is also the reason why China will be developing industry in the coming decades while also taking into account agriculture and subsidies.

Needless to say, the exhibition of industry is directly related to a country's economy and science and technology.

Among them, light industry is more related to people's livelihood, such as tobacco, wine, glass, plastics, paper...... If these things were missing in our daily lives, we would almost become an agrarian society.

The current Soviet Union has suffered greatly because it has not paid attention to this point, and it can even be said that the Soviets do not have the wisdom of "eating a trench and growing wiser", and the Soviet Union collapsed because of an irrational economic structure. By the time Russia had not learned this lesson, nearly 70 percent of the country's economy came from energy exports and processing...... Didn't you stick your neck out and slaughter someone? As long as the price of oil is pushed down, Russia will enter an ice age.

Of course, I don't need to care about these things, what I want to care about now is whether Yang Xianjian's deal can be completed smoothly, or whether the money earned is enough to fill the hole of more than one million.

But I think it can be done...... The more time passed, the more uncertain I became, and I was calculating over and over again: the Soviet Union was in dire short supply of food and daily necessities, and our side could be described by the word "flooding", so that we could make a lot of money. On the other hand, the products of Soviet heavy industry were "overflowing", and we were in dire shortage, so we could make another profit. That is to say, one goes back and forth and makes money at both ends. It shouldn't be too much of a problem to earn more than one million in a short period of time.

But before things are decided, I always feel that there is something to worry about, and I don't have the heart to do anything...... From this point of view. My own mental element is not good enough.

Finally, five days later, I received another call from Yang Xianjin from Moscow......

"How's it going?" I can't wait to ask.

"Battalion commander!" Yang Xianjin replied with some excitement and an uncertain accent: "It is not a problem to receive food and daily necessities, the price here is generally more than ten or even dozens of times more expensive than ours, that is to say, if the cost of a trip is deducted, we can make ten times the money, and the buyers here give us as much as we want." ”

"Hmm!" As soon as I heard this, I was a little relieved, if I can make ten times as much money, then we can turn over a million by a hundred thousand in our hands.

"What about the products of the Soviet Union?" I asked.

"So I said I want you to come up with an idea...... Yang Xianjin replied: "We used to contact bulldozers, excavators and the like according to your intentions, it is indeed much cheaper than in China, but it is not close to ship back to Beijing from Moscow, on the one hand, the freight is high, on the other hand, it is a long time, we are afraid that half a year has passed." ”

I understand Yang Xianjian's words, you must know that at this time, China's railway network is not so good, and now because of the war, railway transportation has been very tight, we have to go from Beijing to Yunnan for more than a month, and this is a trip back and forth to Moscow for half a year, which is still less.

On the other hand, we are doing business again, and if the time is too long, there will be many uncertain factors or risks, such as we have worked hard to get the goods to Moscow, what if the price changes, people don't want to break the contract?

Therefore, for the sake of risk reduction, it should be done as quickly as possible.

"I heard that we wanted to trade canned food for them...... One of the Soviets took the initiative to find us. Yang Xianjin continued: "But this one ......"

"What's this one?" Listening to Yang Xianjian's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, I couldn't help but be a little impatient: "If you have something to say, don't talk about it." ”

"Yes!" Yang Xianjin replied: "He said that he wanted to exchange planes with us." ”

"What? Plane?! I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this, no wonder Yang Xianjin couldn't make up his mind like this, this business is so big that people can't stand it.

"What kind of plane?" I asked.

"Figure 154." Yang Xianjin replied: "There are four in total, I have seen the plane, a brand-new medium-sized passenger aircraft." ”

"How much does it cost?"

"One plane, 100 million yuan!" Yang replied.

This number almost choked me, one is 100 million, and four is 400 million...... And we only have a few hundred thousand in our hands.

But on the other hand, I know that the price must be quite cheap, and another attractive advantage is that the plane flies over and doesn't have to take so long to transport.

Sure enough, then Yang Xianjin said: "I have already investigated, under normal circumstances, this kind of aircraft will be sold for 200 million in the Soviet Union, and I heard them say that it will cost at least 300 million ...... to buy such an aircraft in the United States."

Hearing this, I couldn't help but curse in my heart, this is two-thirds cheaper.

"They agreed to barter?" I asked with some difficulty.

"They can't ask for it." Yang Xianxin replied: "The canned food, basins and other necessities we can provide are here at a price per day. And when airplanes are produced, no one buys them......"

"I want to know how much we're going to trade!" I interrupted Yang Xianjian's words.

Yang Xianxin sighed and replied: "We have preliminarily calculated, we need five hundred wagons of daily necessities!" ”

"Five hundred wagons!" I couldn't help but be stunned.

Good fellow, if one train pulls sixty wagons, it will take eight trains.

"That's it." After thinking about it, I said: "Ask if you can go step by step, on average, there are about two wagons of an airplane, let's pull two wagons of things over and come back with a different plane." ”

"Good!"

"On the other hand." I said, "Let Zheng Jiayi immediately contact the unit that has bought the plane, and if so, discuss the price and confirm the contract at both ends." ”

"Yes!" Yang Xian answered and hung up the phone.

When I sat back at the desk, I still didn't come back to my senses, I really didn't expect to do hundreds of millions of yuan of business, if this business can be done, the profit is hundreds of millions, not to mention what competitor Fuxiang Co., Ltd., the national chain store is not a problem.

It's just that this always makes people feel a little unrealistic, on the one hand, I can't believe that there will be such a good thing, and you can exchange canned food for a plane, and at such a cheap price. On the other hand, we only have so many hundreds of thousands in our hands, what if we can't swallow them?

Then I quickly thought...... In fact, that's what happened, we are not afraid of dying on the battlefield and will be frightened by this number? Just do it!

What I didn't know was that Zheng Jiayi's side was busy at this time.

Because their goal here is not only to solve the problem with the contents of a few warehouses, but to contact dozens or even hundreds of warehouses to solve the needs of these 500 wagons.

Of course, because I used the method of trading in batches, that is, two trains for one plane, plus the Soviet side wanted not only canned food, but also all kinds of plastic products, tobacco, etc...... This makes the current task of Zheng Jiayi and others not so heavy.

But even so, it kept Zheng Jiayi and others busy, and almost all over the country had people to contact the goods.

One of the problems that makes it difficult for them is that the funds of hundreds of thousands of dollars are far from enough, and a simple calculation shows that in order to trade an aircraft, we need to put a deposit on the cargo of about one million, and more than 100,000 can only be said to be a drop in the bucket.

But fortunately, Zheng Jiayi was already able to stand alone at this time, and he and his comrades-in-arms tried all kinds of ways to finally successfully complete the task. (To be continued!)
