"A thousand tons of wheat!! Are you kidding me! ”

When Victoria learns that she will have to pay a thousand tons of wheat in order to regain her freedom, she can't help but scream. If it weren't for the iron bars of the cell, the angry lady would have rushed out and bitten a certain immortal to death.

Not only did Victoria fail to accept this condition, but Erikson, who came to visit the prison next to him, also frowned: "This is simply a lion's mouth!" ”

A certain immortal's mood was not excited at all, and he reluctantly corrected: "It's not a thousand tons of wheat, but a thousand tons of wheat every year!" ”

"What!" Victoria clung to the iron fence, glared at an indifferent immortal, and scolded: "It's still a thousand tons of wheat a year, you Bolsheviks just go and rob it!" ”

Such conditions are completely unacceptable to Erikson, "Isn't this too much, Victoria is only in her early 20s, and she still has a long life ahead of her!" If she lives to be 80 years old, it doesn't mean that we have to produce 60,000 tons of wheat, which is simply unacceptable!! ”

Erikson didn't finish his sentence because some angry lady was glaring at him viciously, "You mean to die and not to be saved, do you?" Ericsson! ”

Erikson suddenly shuddered, and quickly waved his hand and said, "I didn't mean that, I meant to say it's too expensive!" ”

However, this explanation did not satisfy Victoria at all, and she snorted heavily: "You mean, my life is not worth 60,000 tons of wheat, is it!" ”

"I'm ......" Erikson immediately realized, there was no way to reason with a woman in a rage. He simply ignored Victoria. Directly asked a certain immortal: "Andre." Didn't you tell your mentor about our contribution to the revolution? It's not appropriate! ”

"Having said that," Li Xiaofeng was still so calm, looking like he had nothing to do with himself, "It is precisely because you have made outstanding contributions to the revolution that you have opened up the net!" ”

"What kind of net is this!" Victoria in the cage was crazy again, and she roared like thunder: "I didn't cooperate with you if I knew that Lu Dao wouldn't have cooperated with you!" You Bolsheviks are a bunch of white-eyed wolves! ”

"That's how it speaks!" Li Xiaofeng was suddenly unhappy, and said: "If you are unhappy with this kind of good thing, forget it, and scold the street." Do you know how good it is? ”

"What!" Victoria roared violently: "What a good thing this bullshit, this is blackmail at all!" It's blackmail! ”

Li Xiaofeng shook his head and asked rhetorically, "In other words, you resolutely disagree?" ”

Victoria screamed at the top of her voice, "A fool would agree!" ”

Li Xiaofeng shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly: "Since this is the case, then it's better to refuse, I thought you were interested in mining meetings!" ”

Saying this, he pretended to be a flashman, but he was immediately stopped by Erickson: "What? Mining? ”

A certain immortal shook his head and said, "That's right, it's mining...... Asbestos, graphite, fluorite mines, etc., Comrade Lenin said. If you are willing to supply a thousand tons of wheat a year, you will be allowed to mine these minerals in Russia! ”

As soon as this statement came out. Not only Erikson, but even Victoria, who was still raging just now, gasped, knowing that some time ago, the Bolsheviks had nationalized all the industrial and mining enterprises in the country. And now, someone has gone so far as to say that Lenin gave them permission to open mines, even if they could only choose one, it would be big business!

Victoria couldn't wait to ask: "Isn't it that no matter which one we choose, the right to mine this mineral in Russia will be ours......

Li Xiaofeng sneered, "Aren't you dreaming!" It's just that you're allowed to mine a pit. ”

"Just a pit?" Victoria pouted, "What's the point?" ”

"If you want to mine more, you can do it!" Li Xiaofeng said with a smile, "Anyway, a pit has a thousand tons of grain a year!" As long as you can afford to produce food, you can mine more! ”

Victoria snapped her fingers and began to calculate, while Erickson asked, "Is there a time limit?" ”

This question is a point, if you can only work for one year, it really doesn't make much sense, but Li Xiaofeng can't agree to this kind of request from the tutor, "For the time being, it is limited to ten years, and after expiration, if you still want to renew the contract, the conditions will be discussed separately!" ”

"That's pretty much it!" "That is, if we only mine one pit, we will have to pay 10,000 tons of wheat...... Uh, is this wheat a year, or is it ......"

"Twice sexually paid! Pre-pay for five years at a time! ”

To be honest, Li Xiaofeng still has a lot of complaints about the tutor's insistence on paying off five years' food at once, and after handing over the food, what should you do if your old man turns his face in two years? The spirit of contract had a certain effect on the bourgeoisie, and it really had to be discounted against the Bolsheviks.

Sure enough, both Victoria and Eriksen had concerns about this, and the two thought about it for a long time before asking: "With you, the Bolsheviks won't take the grain and not abide by the agreement, right?" ”

Li Xiaofeng sighed and said, "I can only say that I will try my best to help you dredge." ”

"Well," Victoria said, touching her chin, "that's fine, but ......"

"But what?" Li Xiaofeng asked.

"But asbestos, graphite, fluorite or something, how interesting is it?" Victoria puffed up and said, "You have to help us fight for steel, coal, and oil!" These are the things that make a lot of money! ”

Li Xiaofeng is very disdainful of this, fools know that steel, coal and oil come quickly, how can the mentor hand over such a pillar industry to private capital, and even the power to open mines He is not willing to hand over to private capital, this is still something he has to work hard to get.

"You Bolsheviks are too picky, how big of a deal can it be to give us an oil field or coal mine? Could it be that we can still pack these minerals and take them away? Erikson complained, "However, it is good to be able to mine asbestos and graphite." It's not a big deal to make money if you get it right! ”

Victoria agrees. "Russia's asbestos reserves are among the highest in Europe. Refractory bricks for boilers, thermal insulation and fireproof materials are indispensable for it, and it should be profitable! ”

"Graphite isn't bad!" Erikson seems to be more interested in graphite, "The asbestos thing is so polluting that it makes the workers get pneumoconiosis, and with the urine of the Bolsheviks, we will not be punished to death." It is still safe to mine graphite, and a large number of lubricating equipment in the industry is used. Now it is the war years, which country's factories are not running at full capacity, how can there be no graphite. And it's really not good, let's open a pencil factory, and we won't lose money selling pencils! ”

When Victoria heard this, she thought it was safe, and felt that it was safe to get graphite, anyway, she didn't want to enter the class room again. However, Li Xiaofeng sneered at the foresight of these two goods, and they were really a group of leopards who had never seen the world. What kind of shit asbestos and graphite, what's the point of that. Brother has worked so hard. Just for this little fight?

Hmph, if you want to do it, you have to do it a little bit ahead, even if you can make money by doing things in this era, it's just a little hard money.

Li Xiaofeng sighed and asked, "Haven't you ever thought about mining fluorite?" ”

"Fluorite? What's that? Victoria asked, puzzled.

Erikson is a little better, after all, he comes from an engineering family, and he is more or less clear about chemical matters, "Fluorite, also known as fluorite, seems to be a material used to make optical glass, right?" ”

Scratching his ears, he continued: "It seems that it is also used in steelmaking, and it seems to be used to remove impurities such as phosphorus and sulfur in iron ore...... What kind of money can this thing make? ”

"You earth leopards!" Li Xiaofeng complained disdainfully, "I really haven't seen the world, fluorite is an important raw material for the manufacture of hydrofluoric acid, what is hydrofluoric acid?" ”

Victoria and Erickson looked at each other, they really didn't know what hydrofluoric acid was, and they didn't know what it was about. In fact, Li Xiaofeng didn't know anything before, but when he watched the American drama "Deadly Poisoner" later, the section in which the body was treated with hydrofluoric acid, and the part that burned through the bathtub and the floor made him extremely shocked.

Of course, the most important role of hydrofluoric acid is not to do this kind of, in fact, this goods have an extremely important role in the chemical field, the production of alumina is inseparable from hydrofluoric acid, and what does aluminum mean to the aircraft industry in World War II, it is naturally nonsense. And not only alumina uses hydrofluoric acid, but also refrigerators, air conditioners and other refrigeration equipment that are closely related to our daily life are also inseparable from hydrofluoric acid, which is an important raw material for the manufacture of freon. Not only freon, but also this thing can be used to make fire extinguishers for halides, and even for the nuclear industry, because it can purify uranium ore, it can be said that the use is quite extensive.

Because the application is too wide, so fluorite ore is very important, and the main fluorite producing areas in the world include Russia, especially in this year, the industry of a large country in the East is still blank, as the most important fluorite mineral area in the world, she basically does not produce fluorite, Russia's fluorite mine is of great significance to the production of hydrofluoric acid.

It is precisely because of the great significance that mining fluorite mines can make a lot of money, of course, what Li Xiaofeng wants to do is not a simple raw material dealer, selling some basic raw materials is also to make some hard money. For an immortal like him who pays attention to the content of technical skills, it is really not shameful.

What an immortal wants to do is to thoroughly explore the importance of fluorite, and he has preliminarily set two directions, one direction to manufacture freon, as the best and safer refrigerant, much stronger than the ammonia, sulfur dioxide and propane refrigerants used in refrigerators in this era, at least after the freon leak, it only destroys the ozone layer, and will not explode.

Anyway, didn't you buy Nokia, it seems to be a good idea to come out with a Nokia brand refrigerator, you can consider focusing on the American market, anyway, this year, only comfortable and rich American tyrants buy refrigerators and cars, maybe you can also get a Nokia brand air conditioner?

The second direction is the halon fire extinguisher, which is commonly known as halon fire extinguishing agent, which is an epoch-making invention, compared with dry powder fire extinguishers and carbon dioxide fire extinguishers, halon fire extinguishers are clean and efficient. After a century of development, the safety has also been greatly improved, and there will never be a tragic situation of suffocation when using halon 104, halon 1001, and halon 2402 in the early days.

Of course, the words are said at two ends, for the strange USSR. However, they have been using halon 2402, a fire extinguishing agent that can cause suffocation. For example, in 2008, the Freon leak occurred on board the Akula II nuclear submarine of the Russian Pacific Fleet. The essence of this is that halon 2402 is doing the trick.

Our protagonist naturally does not make such a low-level mistake, and he is ready to produce halon 1211, which is four times more efficient than carbon dioxide extinguishing agent, and much safer, at least much higher than halon 2402.

Some comrades may say, what kind of big business is a fire extinguisher? It's too ordinary, too ordinary, and it doesn't have the magic of getting up early to walk through the glass in YY's novels, and it's even worse than selling arms and selling drugs. That's not true. For example, the profit of some goods may be as high as 2000% or 3000%, but you also have to see how much it can sell, how much money can you make by selling ten or eight pieces a year?

What really makes money is the kind of product that has a large sales volume and is a unique business, even if the profit of a single piece is not particularly outstanding, but the amount has gone up, it is quite amazing. And fire extinguishers have such a possibility, with the process of human industrialization. The hidden danger of fire is increasing, and the frequency of fire is also increasing. Why don't you have a fire extinguisher?

And the fire extinguisher also has a shelf life, generally three or five years, at most ten years must be replaced. Think about how many fire extinguishers are needed in all of Russia, or all of Europe? How much business would it be if we could take over the market with a new and efficient product?

Of course, that's in the long run, and if you want to occupy the market, you have to take your time. Anyway, Li Xiaofeng feels that mining fluorite ore is definitely profitable, and it is definitely better than mining asbestos and graphite.

"According to you, it's really good business!" Erikson touched his chin, through the explanation of a certain immortal, he immediately realized the business opportunity of fluorite, but to do a good job in this business, it still needs investment, after all, fluorite to become hydrofluoric acid, it must have a considerable chemical foundation, "But this business, only the three of us can't do it, we must cooperate with Henry!" ”

Li Xiaofeng also understands this, Sweden's industrial base is much better than Russia's, and from a promotional point of view, Sweden, which remains in mainstream European circles, is much stronger than the marginalized Bolshevik Russia.

"Of course I know this, so the job of convincing him will be left to you!" As soon as Li Xiaofeng made this decision, he was strongly resisted by Victoria: "You can't hand it over to him!" ”

Erikson was suddenly a little unhappy, "What are you doing?" Do you think I can't convince Henry? You know, I'm his brother-in-law! ”

"It is precisely because you are his quasi-brother-in-law that this job is not suitable for you to go!" Victoria said very politely, "Such a good project, even a pig can convince him, I am very worried that with your ability, Henry will take advantage of us!" ”

Erikson was speechless for a moment, Victoria was really right, and such a matter of negotiation was really not suitable for him. Because he is not good at bargaining in the first place, and he is also Henry's quasi-brother-in-law, the family always can't save face, and it is inevitable that they will suffer.

"This matter can only be done by me, and I can guarantee that the interests of the three of us will be safeguarded!" Victoria said confidently.

Li Xiaofeng quickly agreed to Victoria's request, because in business, this money-worshipping lady is indeed the most suitable, and only she can maximize her interests. What's more, a certain immortal has no time to go to Sweden, he has a lot of things to do recently, someone can't ask for it for him, and he is sure that neither Victoria nor Eriksen will dare to lose him.

As for Eriksen, he quickly figured it out, he was indeed not as capable as Victoria, and he also vaguely felt that it was more appropriate for Victoria to come forward in this matter, because in the four sides of cooperation, the Henry family was too strong, and if it weren't for a Li Xiaofeng to support the three families on their side, even the belt bones would be swallowed by the Eugen family.

For example, some time ago, he received a letter from his old man, bluntly saying that the world is cold and people's hearts are not ancient, and with the largest industry of the Nobel family in Russia, Huawei, the Eugen family's attitude towards cooperation with the Nobel family has undergone a significant change. It is obvious that they began to despise the Nobel family and began to be perfunctory. The old man had asked the Eugen family to help put pressure on the Swedish government to defend the rights and interests of the Nobel family in Russia, but Henry had been playing harness.

Erikson knew very well that if he went to negotiate this deal with Henry, it was very likely that the goods would just leave him and Victoria and find some immortal to do it alone, wouldn't it be five thousand tons of wheat? Nothing to the Eugen family.

And now, Victoria volunteered to take the errand, and a certain immortal generously chose to share the profits to give them business interests, compared to the snobbery of the Eugen family, he felt very comfortable.

"The negotiation will be left to Victoria," Li Xiaofeng didn't care about what Erikson was thinking at all, this kind of small favor was nothing to him at all, although the benefits of freon and fire extinguishers were large, they were far less important than building a close-knit interest group, "The most realistic problem in front of us now is, where to get 5,000 tons of wheat, without these grains, everything is empty talk!" ”

It is indeed a very real problem, because although these three companies have stolen and sold a lot of grain, they really have no stock on hand now, and if they want to get grain, they can only find ways in foreign countries.

"Or, let Henry help dredge the relationship......"

Before Erikson's proposal was finished, it was rejected by Victoria, "This is absolutely not good, if he knows that food is the basis of this business, we will be more passive in the distribution of benefits!" I think we should look for another way! (To be continued......)
