Chapter 61: The White Wolf with Empty Gloves
"Comrade Yang Xianjian!" When I came back from Commander Zhang, I immediately dialed Yang Xianjian's phone: "How much money do we have left?" ”
Yang Xianjin was silent for a while, and then replied: "If you delay some of the arrears, there are still hundreds of thousands of dollars on hand!" ”
"Only a hundred thousand?" I couldn't help frowning, although hundreds of thousands were not a small number in this era, it was obviously not enough if we wanted to carry out international trade between China and the Soviet Union.
After thinking about it, I said, "In this way, the work of the advanced batch of companies will continue as usual." The number of people who resell corn is divided in two, and some of them are inquiring about cheap food such as canned food and other goods in China and buyers who are interested in importing heavy machinery. ”
"It's not difficult." Yang Xianjin said: "When we were doing corn reselling, we sent people around to inquire about the corn market, and the people in our company are soldiers from all over the country, as long as we let them go back to find out the news." ”
"Hmm!" I believe that there will be no difficulty in this, knowing that the advanced batch of companies also has a large number of scouts who specialize in inquiring about the price of goods such as clothes or valuable business information, and it is not too easy for them to inquire about these news.
"Another part!" I said, "I think you'll be in charge of it, take a few clever and capable fighters, and if possible, find another one who can speak Russian to go to the Soviet Union." ”
"To the Soviet Union?" Hearing this, Yang Xianjin couldn't help but be taken aback.
"What? Having difficulties? ”
"Battalion commander!" Yang Xianjin replied: "It's not difficult to find someone who can speak Russian, several of my old comrades-in-arms can speak Russian, and I can also know some myself." But this went to the USSR ......"
I'm not surprised by Yang Xianjian's words. At his age, it was the Sino-Soviet honeymoon period, when everyone was learning Russian. There are even quite a few cadres who have gone to the Soviet Union for further study. So it's not surprising that they would even be able to communicate with the Soviets for a few words.
"The USSR is still our enemy, right?" I smiled and said, "Now the shape is different again, there are no eternal friends, and there are no eternal enemies!" ”
"I know that." Yang Xianjin replied: "I'm not afraid to go to the Soviet Union, even if the Soviet Union is still an enemy, there is nothing to be afraid of." But this went to the Soviet Union...... What to do? ”
When I heard this, I felt that I had underestimated Yang Xianjian, after all, he also came over as a soldier, and he still had this courage and courage.
"What you have to do is the opposite of that part of the country." I said, "You're looking for buyers of food and sellers of heavy machinery." ”
"Oh!" Hearing this, Yang Xianjin quickly understood: "What does the battalion commander mean to do business with the Soviets?" ”
"Yes!"
"But ......" Yang Xianjin asked with some hesitation, "Can this work?" I mean...... We owe more than one million, and we can afford to pay it back for now. But after a long time......"
I understand what Yang Xianjin meant, he is worried that "far water can't quench the thirst of the near", even if we can make money by doing business with the Soviet Union, but this should be a long-term process, and our current debt is a matter of burning eyebrows in front of us.
But I was very confident in this, and I explained: "Yes, as far as I know, the Soviet Union is mainly based on heavy industry, but light industry accounts for only a small proportion, and there is a saying that scarce is expensive, and if you understand it according to this statement, then the Soviet Union should be related to heavy industry, and products related to light industry are expensive." In China, we are the opposite. At other times, the difference may not be significant. But now is a special period, the reason is that China and the Soviet Union have been at odds for decades, and trade has been interrupted for decades, so this gap is likely to be astronomical! In other words, now that China has just resumed trade with the Soviet Union, it is a once-in-a-lifetime business opportunity. ”
"Oh!" Yang Xianjin quickly understood.
It's not hard to understand that the market is like flowing water.
There is a saying that "people go to high places, water flows to low places", and the law of the market is also like this, the same commodity will always flow from the place with a low price to a place with a high price...... Only in this way can the businessman earn the gap profitably and have room to survive.
Therefore, if the trade between China and the Soviet Union had been normal in recent decades, the complementary system of light and heavy industries between China and the Soviet Union would have minimized profits long ago because merchants ran back and forth in it, circulated with each other, and competed with each other.
However, in the past few decades, the trade between China and the Soviet Union has been interrupted because of the hostile relationship, which is like a sluice gate that forcibly blocks the water level on both sides, so the high water level has been rising, and the low water level has been falling...... Over time, this difference is likely to become an astronomical amount.
"That's a good idea." Then Yang Xianjin replied: "But the funds in our hands are only more than 100,000 ......."
This is also what I was worried about at the beginning, you must know that heavy industry, such as bulldozers, excavators and the like, although the Soviet Union is cheap because of heavy industry, but its unit price is not low, in this era, a bulldozer has to be hundreds of thousands, we can't even buy one, and we still do a fart business.
"You can do this." I replied: "The Chinese side is good to inquire about the sellers of light industry and the buyers of heavy industry, and the Soviet side is good to contact buyers and sellers...... You only do the work of bridging and matchmaking, do you understand?! It's best to be able to barter, and if necessary, it's okay to pay some down deposit or something, so that you don't need much capital. ”
"Hmm, that's a good idea!" Yang Xianjin on the other end of the phone immediately replied: "Don't worry, battalion commander, I will do it immediately, and I will not let you down!" ”
Before he finished speaking, Yang Xianjin hung up the phone...... This guy is also willing to waste no time at all, but as a businessman, he should sometimes have such a degree and efficiency, you must know that at this time it is about "fast", if you let others take the first step to show this kind of good thing and take the lead...... In fact, this kind of trading does not require too many technical problems, it is simple to buy here and sell there, as long as there are funds or even no funds, you can be like us "white wolf with empty gloves".
Therefore, it is conceivable that this kind of trade will soon set off a trend of following the trend on the Sino-Soviet border, and those who make most of the money are those who are ahead, and if they are late, they can only share a little scraps.
When I put the phone down, I felt a little more relaxed. Although I don't know if this business can be successful at this time, at least there is a way out and there is hope, otherwise, I really don't know how to deal with those comrades-in-arms who not only didn't make any money, but also owed a lot of debt.
"Battalion commander." Zhao Jingping asked beside him: "Is there something wrong with the business?" ”
"It's not a big deal." I replied with a pretended lightheartedness, "And it will be solved soon." ”
I didn't know about this with the task people of the synthetic camp, including Zhao Jingping. The reason is that I don't want this to be a burden to them, and as soldiers, it is better for them to concentrate on training without being affected by other things, and if there are any problems, I will take care of them for the time being.
I couldn't help but laugh at myself when I thought of this, I was never the kind of person who would think about others before, and I don't know when I took it for granted now. It seems that there is a saying that is right, "those who are close to ink are black, and those who are close to Zhu are red", I have been in contact with soldiers for a long time in this era, and I have been assimilated by them unconsciously.
But in fact, I know very well in my heart that it is not these warriors who have assimilated me, nor this era, but the old man...... Far away in modern times.
The education and image he gave me since I was a child have long been deeply imprinted in my mind and in my heart, but I have always been unimpressed with these things before, and even have a rebellious psychology that denies all these things, and I don't know these things until now that they are the truth.
But even if I didn't want to, the fighters heard a little bit about the loss of advanced companies...... In fact, this can't be hidden, after all, most of the employees in the advanced company are our comrades-in-arms, and these comrades-in-arms are still in contact with us more or less, and they will definitely mention such a big thing when they call or write letters.
So Zhao Jingping immediately found me: "I said battalion commander, you are not interesting enough, how can you carry the affairs of advanced companies alone?!" ”
"I'm going to carry it alone." I said, "I'm just worried about affecting the training of the fighters!" ”
"How much did you lose?" Zhao Jingping said: "Can our brothers make up for this hole?" ”
I smiled, knowing that I couldn't hide it if I wanted to, so I simply said: "I didn't lose much, it's more than a million ......."
"Oh!" Zhao Jingping responded, and then quickly widened his eyes: "What?" What do you say? More than a million?! ”
"About 1.1 million to be exact." I said, "It's just a big number, and I haven't counted it exactly." ”
"This ......" Zhao Jingping immediately spun around in front of me like a headless fly: "Battalion commander, this is more than a million, what can I do here?!" ”
Seeing this, I couldn't help but be a little funny, Zhao Jingping had never been in a hurry on the battlefield, but now he couldn't calm down when facing this problem.
"Battalion commander!" The instructor also had a pale question: "This money is not a small amount, why are you still acting like it's okay." ”
"Yes, battalion commander!" Zhao Jingping said with some worry: "More than one million, we can only afford it if everyone is a 10,000 yuan household, how can we owe so much?" This Yang advanced ......"
"Don't be nervous!" I said, "Maybe we've already found a solution, and we're arranging it now." ”
"Is there a solution?" Zhao Jingping and the instructor couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this, they really couldn't believe that I was also in the barracks, where to find a way to get more than one million. (To be continued!)
