Chapter 13: To add insult to injury

Although Moutai is the medium, and Chinese and foreign literature is the yeast, when it comes to it, the cooperation with the Russian Siberian company was too smooth at the beginning.

On the first day of the landing of the Russian chartered flight at Tianjin Airport, both sides paid special attention, which indicated a pleasant cooperation between the two sides. Knowing that the plane arrived, the goods from Beijing were immediately loaded into the car, and the driver drove to Tianjin at the fastest speed, regardless of winter or summer, rain or shine. The distance between Beijing and Tianjin is relatively close, a total of more than 130 kilometers away, and it usually takes more than an hour to arrive, so at the beginning of the cooperation, it can be said that both parties are happy.

Especially when passing through the customs, the Russian side is according to the total number of people on the charter flight carry-on baggage declaration, generally go through the travel inspection procedure, as many people as there are to declare as many goods, almost all of them are tourists by plane, and some people do not buy so many goods. The rest of the quota went to Inovich's company, which saved them a lot of tariffs and made an astonishing profit.

Every time I recall the cooperation with foreign businessmen in the heyday of Yabao Road, those who have done this business will be a little excited. At that time, it was too easy to make money, and there were customers from East and West Europe everywhere, because the currency of their country was too hairy, so they came to Yabao Road to buy goods with a lot of US dollars in their hands.

At that time, the entire Yabao Road area, along the streets and alleys, was full of stores and stalls, especially the hotels next to it, which benefited most directly. Originally, there were no guests, and the hotel was very light, but since these foreigners came, "Okay", the hotel was full of people, and the house was full of goods.

At that time, the habit was to use the largest black plastic bag to pack the bag, and then wrap layers of yellow tape on the outside, just a random pile - that is, not afraid of pressure, not even afraid of drenching, bags stacked together, like a hill.

The taller and larger rooms next to it have almost all become warehouses, and there are yards of goods inside.

All the houses facing the street here have opened the walls, all the business revolves around clothing, shoes and hats, all around eating, drinking and living, and the people walking here, the leather shoes on their feet are covered with dust, which is all walking here, because "there are people one after another, and the car walks like a snail", and then smart people know that if they want to go to Yabao Road, they park their cars outside, because they can't get in at all.

At that time, the conditions were not good, the so-called foreign trade company is a packaging company, is a large warehouse, all the goods are bought and sold by Party A and Party B, as long as they are packed in woven bags. A package costs tens of yuan to more than 100 yuan, think about how many goods go out here in a day? The turnover is quite impressive.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as you have a little money, as long as you can rent a house on Yabao Road, you are guaranteed to make a fortune.

Even the playground of the nearby school was rented, and a canvas was directly spread on the spot and began to pack, one by one the yellow tape wrapped in bulging bags and piled up on the playground, like a hill, it is not an exaggeration at all. Who didn't wonder at the time? - "Why does this foreigner need so many clothes and shoes"?

"Can we develop a European train together"? Inovich's words woke Chang Jianming up, if it wasn't for the need for more goods, how could he think of such a question?

In fact, this is also what Chang Jianming is most interested in, and it is also the question he has been thinking about, but he still wants to paraphrase Inovich's words.

"Isn't it nice to charter a plane now"? He asked,

"The flight is good, but it can only run to Russia",

"And where do you want to run"? Chang Jianming came to be interested,

"Hehe", Inovic smiled secretly, "haven't you ever thought about how our order can be so big?" How can there be so much volume"?

"Oh, I had this idea, but I don't know it very clearly", Chang Jianming smiled, not hiding his interest in this issue at all.

"Have you ever thought that so many clothes and shoes, we don't sell them in Russia alone, we don't sell them to other countries"?

"I can guess this, some Eastern European countries, you must have more channels than us, from a geopolitical point of view, they are close to you"!

"Well, actually, we still have an advantage, which should not be hidden from you, and that is the former Soviet republics. Because, and these countries have always been inextricably linked, so some of the goods are indeed sold to neighboring countries, they come to us to get the goods is more convenient, in addition, language is also a favorable condition, in these countries, Russian is almost universal, speak a common language, common living habits, clothing and wear similarities, so, the demand is naturally larger. In addition, there are some countries, such as Yugoslavia, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Poland and other Eastern European countries, we also have channels there, they also need high-quality and low-cost Chinese goods, which are not a small market"!

"Oh, that's a good point", Chang Jianming was very excited, it can be said that Inovich is "a person who wakes up from a dream".

"So, it would be great if we could jointly develop a European train, at the beginning, we could first go through Mongolia to Belarus, and then to Russia, and then we could develop in depth and directly reach the hinterland of Europe, with great potential. Moreover, railway transportation is not subject to climate constraints, it can be said that rain or shine, as long as the transportation is convenient, the freight volume goes up, the price will naturally be cheaper, if we can do it directly door to door, the volume of goods will increase, not to mention the profit, I don't know if you have this idea"?

"Yes", Chang Jianming is very sure, "I won't tell you, in fact, I have thought about it a long time ago, and I have already discussed it with the railway department",

"Oh, how? Are they interested"? It can be seen that Inovich is looking forward to it,

"There is definitely interest, but there are also many problems, especially the track gauge problems between different countries, carriage problems, customs problems, return cargo organization problems, etc., which involve many countries and are not very easy to coordinate",

"It's easy to do, I'll come", Inovich took care of it,

"Really? If you can help coordinate, then the problem will be solved", Chang Jianming knew Inovich's ability, so he had great hopes for him, how did he know that he would encounter such a thing? He was killed by the robbers, and Manokov did not know where he had gone.

"Alas", this made Chang Jianming very discouraged, "What a capable person is this?" How did you come across this kind of thing......?
