Chapter 121 Pack and sell it to you
At the beginning of the nineties, the Republic of Vera, like many African countries, had little industry in the country. It's even worse here, not even mining. The main industries are traditional agriculture and animal husbandry and offshore fishery resources.
Another major source of income is the port of Sokir. Since there are almost no tariffs here, it is an important ...... in Central and Southern Africa. auxiliary channels, so the transportation service industry is also relatively developed.
To put it simply, it's similar to the situation in Yutouao Village. The land is vast and sparsely populated, and with a little effort, you can live quite chic. But if you want to make money, it's not so easy.
But on the other hand, Sokir is the capital of a country after all, and there are actually many wealthy people here, as well as some foreign businessmen, seafarers, and .......
In addition, almost everything needs to be imported, so there are several very high-end places to consume. And the prices inside are extremely expensive, even more than similar places in developed countries.
The place where Li Yuan was entertained tonight was such a French restaurant. The chef here is indeed from France, is the French cuisine authentic? Li Yuan didn't know. But at least he knew that the price was expensive.
In addition to Pip, there were two other guests at the table. One was a young black man named Harden, who was about the same age as Pip, probably under thirty, and dressed as a Western elite. The other one is more strange, he is a tall white man with blonde hair, named Yin Wan?
The name Yin Wan, just like the British name John, the German name Hammer, and the Chinese name Zhang San, which is the real name? Or is it a pseudonym? But this Mr. Yin Wan should be the Soviet Union...... Russians, right?
Pip took the initiative to introduce: "Lee, Harden is my classmate. His father was the Grand Chief and the newly elected Undersecretary of Defence in the current Government. Harden himself is the chief of his own tribe. Mr. Wan Yin is a friend of Harden's. ”
That Yin Wan seems to speak good English. He introduced himself with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Li. I am from the USSR. I'm the liaison adjutant to the commander of the base here. ”
Li Yuan glanced at Pip in surprise, could this be some serious business? Even the military base has popped up?
In a restaurant, it is also inconvenient to do anything in-depth conversation. The four of them chatted about some interesting topics.
That Harden was more talkative. From his mouth, he learned that he came from a certain big tribe here, and his father was the big chief of the big tribe. And that big tribe is divided into many small tribes, and Harden owns one of them, so he is also a chief......
Anyway, the relationship is a bit messy. To make a simple analogy, Harden's father is a township chief, and Harden is the village chief below. In order to win over his father, the new president gave his father the post of deputy head of the county armed forces.
Since Harden's father had many sons, his status was a bit inferior. The future Great Chief will definitely have no play, but at least he has his own tribe.
But either way, Harden is a second-generation Chieftain after all, so he has a good education and has studied abroad like Pip.
In addition, Harden is also not interested in this, after all, he has been to developed countries and has broadened his horizons. That's why we're always looking for opportunities to make a difference in my home country.
"Li, the biggest advantage we have here is that the labor is very cheap. If you have a good project, be sure to help introduce it. ”
"Definitely, definitely."
“……”
Finally, when they were full, several people moved to the bar next to the side and found a private box. As soon as he took his seat, that Yin Wan made it clear what he meant:
It turns out that the USSR didn't collapse? A full-scale retreat began from the overseas military bases of the former Soviet Union. In the Republic of Vera, the former Soviet Union also has a military base, which is mainly responsible for the transportation of logistics materials. It is also currently on the list of withdrawals.
However, back then, they were desperately trying to transport here, lest the supplies be insufficient. Now that I'm dumbfounded, do I still have to spend money to ship it back? To be honest, if there is really so much money, who will be full to play a handful of Heavenly Demon Disintegration?
So the most realistic way to deal with it is to dispose of it cheaply, hoping to find a pick-up man.
Harden on the side helped explain: "Lee, Major Yin Wan is an old friend of mine, and I also hope to help him solve the problem. However, our countries simply do not have the money, and they are used to receiving military aid, so it is impossible for them to come up with this additional expenditure. ”
Looking at what Harden means, they don't want to offend death completely...... Russia it! But there really is no money. So I found Li Yuan, the wronged leader.
Li Yuanle said: "I'm sorry, I should have told Pip that I'm not interested in the arms business. ”
Yin Wan hurriedly explained: "Li, listen to me finish speaking. We have a logistics base here, and there are not many arms at all. And we are short on time, so the price is negotiable. Everything is packaged for you, and you only need to pay $500,000. ”
(⊙?⊙)
That's a bit off at the price, isn't it? You're a military base, and an armored car is more than $500,000, right? If there can still be a helicopter, wouldn't it be crooked?
Although Li Yuan would definitely not touch this very sensitive business, he couldn't help but have curiosity: "Yin Wan, pack 500,000?" Can you tell us about the supplies in it? ”
Yin Wan had already prepared, so he took out a few lists of supplies from the briefcase beside him: "Li, you can take a look at it first." ”
Holding the list of supplies, Li Yuan read it carefully.
Sure enough, there were no heavy weapons in it at all, not even recoilless guns or RPGs. That's just as well. No matter how messy you are, you can't just buy and sell heavy weapons, right?
Of course, there are still quite a few small number of light weapons. But the more abundant are canned food, blankets, military blankets, military boots and other logistical supplies. Yin Wan didn't lie, this is a logistics base.
But...... 27 trucks, 2 off-road vehicles, and a whole bunch of spare parts?
Li Yuan found himself a little moved. As long as these vehicles are transported back to China, whether it is for personal use or for takeaway, this is okay?
If the memory of the previous life is not wrong, it was during this period, taking advantage of the collapse of the former Soviet Union, that more than 20,000 Soviet trucks were imported into the country?
"Yin Wan, I don't know if I can sell it for free? How many of these items do I need? ”
Yin Wan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "We really don't want to make things difficult on purpose. But at most half a month, we all need to withdraw to the country. There's really no time left. ”
Li Yuan thought about it for a few seconds. Since you don't want to take it apart and sell it, then be a little flexible?
"Yin Wan, is this okay? I don't need arms, you should be easy to handle, right? ”
Unexpectedly, hearing this, Yin Wan and the others were stunned for a moment, and then laughed......
