In the small conference room, Xiao Manyao, wearing a gray ol outfit, looked full of surprise, obviously shocked by Chen Hongtao's thoughts.

Seeing Xiao Manyao's expression, Chen Hongtao was sitting on the chair at the top of the conference table and lit a cigarette, as if waiting for her to digest her arrangements.

As Xiao Manyao, who graduated from a business school, still has some understanding of the export trading system.

The Soviet Union's national trade conditions were very closed and foreign trade was pitifully rare. Although there was a huge temptation in commerce, the tariffs were scary.

Xiao Manyao had thought before that Chen Hongtao might do trade with the Soviet Union, but he did not expect that Chen Hongtao would have the idea of ​​treating North Korea as a trade transit place.

For a long time, the Red Empire has been committed to building an economic and trade system of the "socialist camp". This economic and trade system not only covers all the franchise republics of the Soviet Union, but also covers almost all socialist countries in Eastern Europe.

In the East, North Korea also received trade care from the Soviet Union based on this system.

In this socialist economic and trade system, the Soviet Union and its allies enjoyed the most-favored-nation treatment in trade. Not only were the conditions for trade exchanges extremely relaxed, but the tariffs on various commodities were also astonishingly low.

However, Xiao Manyao only knows so much. If you want to know more specifically, Xiao Manyao still needs to verify it before understanding the trade rules between the three parties.

"Mr. Chen, I thought you would choose border ports like Heihe and Suifenhe to carry out normal foreign trade exports to the Soviet Union. I didn't expect you to actually want to trade transit! If you do what you said, the joints in it may take a lot of energy to open up!" Xiao Manyao calmed down slightly, but the tension in her beautiful eyes could not be completely concealed.

Seeing Xiao Manyao's exploration, Chen Hongtao smiled slightly: "This kind of trade transfer is not troublesome, and North Korea's good trade conditions between our country and the Soviet Union are really mouth-watering! Do you know that North Korea and our country and the Soviet Union have always enjoyed extremely preferential treatment, and the tariffs only float between one percent and five percent, which is basically equivalent to tax exemption."

"Is this low? Then the profits of this kind of trade transfer are amazing!" Xiao Manyao couldn't help but stand up from her seat.

Although she knew that North Korea had a special status in international trade, she did not know that the trade-favored-nation treatment given to North Korea by the Soviet Union would be so low.

No wonder Xiao Manyao couldn't hold back her anger. In her impression, North Korea is just synonymous with poverty.

But after hearing the tariffs mentioned by Chen Hongtao, Xiao Manyao had already keenly realized the huge business opportunities contained in trade transfers.

Chen Hongtao smiled and seemed very calm: "If there is no profit that makes people crazy, who will go to exploit loopholes and risk entering the 'gray zone'. We want to choose the border port for foreign trade exports, neither Heihe nor Suifenhe. Do you know the place of Huichun County?"

Xiao Manyao's beautiful eyes lit up slightly: "Huichun County is located in the northeastern border, located in the lower reaches of the Tumen River in the southeast of Jilin Province. It is the junction of China, North Korea and Russia. There should be a port there, but I just don't know whether it will be open to the public!"

"It doesn't matter whether the national port in Huichun County is open to the outside world. Aside from the Soviet Union, small-scale commercial exchanges with North Korea have always existed. Everyone is tacitly aware of this kind. I am here to protect you. There will be no problems in export business carried out in the nature of a personal trading company." Chen Hongtao said with a confident smile.

"Are you sure it's not smuggling?" Although Chen Hongtao's temptation was amazing, Xiao Manyao still seemed a little cautious.

"You are wrong. We are just conducting normal foreign trade exports, and it is reasonable and legal. If you insist on saying that there is any problem, it is just a matter of exploiting some system defects and loopholes. Huichun County has a special geographical location. There is almost no difference between conducting foreign trade exports to North Korea there and directly exporting to the Soviet Union. It will greatly facilitate the operation of the foreign trade company we will set up in the future." Chen Hongtao smiled faintly and said carelessly.

"Mr. Chen, since you have chosen to be the port of Huichun County as a foreign trade company, you should know very well, right?" Although Xiao Manyao knew about Huichun County, he did not know much about the details of foreign trade exports.

Even college students may not have a deep understanding of China's geography, not to mention that this kind of foreign trade export involves North Korea and the Soviet Union.

"Huichun County is the geometric center of Northeast Asia, and is the closest point for China to reach the east coast of South Korea, the west coast of Japan, and even North America, and Northern Europe. Although our country has most of the river sections of the Tumen River, it does not have a port to sea. Moreover, it goes directly from the Tumen River to the sea. The silt water level of the river channel is very shallow. In addition, the Su-Chapter Railway Bridge across the two sides of the Tumen River is blocked and cannot travel large transport ships, which lacks actual value for long-distance voyages. However, for our foreign trade company exports, whether it is the border between the Su-Chapter or the water transportation of the Tumen River, it is extremely convenient conditions." Chen Hongtao explained to Xiao Manyao thoughtfully.

"I remember that our country has always had controversy with the Soviet Union and North Korea because of Vladivostok and the right to go to sea. We must find strong agents from North Korea and the Soviet Union. Even the local relationship between Huichun County may require a lot of energy to coordinate." Xiao Manyao hesitated and reminded Chen Hongtao.

Vladivostok is the capital of the Soviet coastal harbor and the largest city in the Soviet Far East. It is also known as Vladivostok by the Soviet Union. It is located at the junction of the three countries of the Soviet Union, China and North Korea, borders Qingjin, North Korea, and faces the sea on three sides. It has an excellent natural harbor and has a superior geographical location. It is the most important port of the Soviet Union on the Pacific coast and the location of the Pacific Fleet Command.

Chen Hongtao knew very well that the controversial issue Xiao Manyao mentioned refers to the territory east of the Ussuri River, including Sakhalin Island, about 400,000 square kilometers, including Vladivostok.

However, Chen Hongtao, who has memories of his previous life, also knows that such problems left over from the country and history are far from easy to solve.

Sino-Soviet relations went from "honey" in the 1950s to "fight" in the 1960s, and then to "fight" in the 1970s, and finally transitioned to "slow" in the 1980s. During this process, the high opening and low closing and then returned to normal Sino-Soviet relations, which have experienced almost all variations of various forms of national relations in the world today.

The two countries have changed from general national relations to strategic alliances that are as close as brothers, and then they have transformed into strategic opponents that are incompatible. Then they have gone through a difficult normalization process and returned to friendly national relations. There are quite a lot of twists and turns!

By this 1985, although the relationship between the two countries eased and the economy and trade were reopened, Chen Hongtao knew that the huge red empire of the Soviet Union was already setting, and the days of disintegration were not far from each other.

For Chen Hongtao, who wanted to achieve a commercial dynasty, sharing the benefits brought about by the disintegration of the Red Empire is a very important piece of cake.

Relying on the port of Huichun County to carry out foreign trade exports was just a springboard for Chen Hongtao to squeeze into the corrupt Soviet economic system. In the face of this major opportunity, he valued the capital feast formed by the collapse of Vladivostok, Sakhalin Island, and even the entire Red Empire.

"We are just businessmen, and there is no need to think so much. You just need to establish the thirty foreign trade companies as per my instructions. As for the strong business agents from Su Chao and the relationship between Huichun County, I will clear them." Chen Hongtao did not mention his real thoughts to Xiao Manyao, but comforted him with a smile.

There is a big reason why Chen Hongtao is so confident and has connections with his parents in Huichun County.

As for the agents from the Soviet Union, Chen Hongtao had already had a suitable candidate, so he was just about to have actual contact with him.

Until this time, Xiao Manyao not only couldn't see through the man in front of him, but was also shocked by Chen Hongtao's thoughts.

All aspects involved in foreign trade transit are not something that ordinary people can easily clear.

If foreign trade transit can be successful, the profits that can be generated will reach an amazing level.

At this time, Xiao Manyao was still in a vague understanding of the Soviet economic system. As Chen Hongtao explained to her in the conference room the key to the export of foreign trade to North Korea and the Soviet Union, Xiao Manyao was even more shocked Chen Hongtao's grasp of the economic system and capital operation.

As early as 1800, the ruble had already established a price comparison with gold.

In 1897, the gold content of ruble banknotes was 0.774234 grams. By January 1961, the Soviet Union implemented monetary reforms, and the gold content of ruble was set at 0.987412 grams, and the exchange rate against the US dollar was set at 1 US dollar to 0.9 rubles.

In 1985, the exchange rate between the ruble and the US dollar reached an unprecedented 1:4. In terms of RMB, 1 ruble is equivalent to 12 yuan!

The Soviet Union was originally short of daily necessities, so under the influence of the seller's market, it is natural to have high prices.

On the other hand, the monetary austerity policy implemented by China and the Soviet Union's long-term, highly centralized planned economic system have caused a huge price gap between the Soviet Union.

It is precisely because of the Soviet Union, medium-to-high exchange rates and high price gap that Chen Hongtao can implement gray trade transit and provide rich profits.
