A storm is coming in the country, and a large group of literati are gearing up. They are ready for an all-out war with Brother Yuan.

But a certain soul had already flown abroad and landed at Moscow International Airport.

"Jiaojiao, are you okay? Is the baby obedient in the belly?" Li Yuan called Huang Jiaojiao as soon as he got off the plane.

"Not everything is fine." Huang Jiaojiao seemed a little impatient, "Don't bother me. I'm going to Chongqing soon!"

"Ah? Why are you going to Chongqing City?" Li Yuan was shocked. Why didn't he raise his baby at home?

"Do you know, the national football team lost. I'm so angry!" Huang Jiaojiao gritted her teeth on the phone.

Li Yuan became even more puzzled. The national football team participated in the 1994 World Cup Asian Qualifiers. They lost two games in a row in the first stage of the group stage. But that was already May or June. How come so many games have passed?

Yue, is Huang Jiaojiao angry now?

This reflex arc is too long... No, no! Isn't it normal for the national football team to lose? What's there to be angry about?

"Jiaojiao, what happened if they lost?"

"Li Yuan, you don't care about wild mountains and clear springs at all. We are still sponsors of the World Cup. I was invited to Yin Erbid before, but I didn't go because of the bad guy in my belly. That's why the national football team lost. This time

I invited a master, and he gave me a jade pendant, which guaranteed smooth sailing! Hum!"

Li Yuan felt a little confused in his mind. How could the national football team trigger a mysterious war? But even if the master had reached the Nascent Soul stage and the national football team had mastered the laws of planes, would he know how to fight?

With caution, Li Yuan reminded: "Madam, even if we win the second stage, the chance of the national football team qualifying is very slim?"

"Why? You can't qualify even if you win?" Huang Jiaojiao seemed to understand.

Li Yuan was almost angry: "The first place in the group stage will qualify! The national football team has already lost two games!"

"I don't understand this, I don't know what they are kicking about. Anyway, I am going! They invited me to sit on the podium. Hehehehe. And Xiao Yuanzi, you are not patriotic!"

"Okay!" Li Yuan is too lazy to talk to this stupid woman. As long as she is happy, that's fine.

"Hey! Have you arrived in Moscow?"

"I just got off the plane. Oh, the person to pick me up is already here. No more words."

"..."

…

Since the disintegration of the former Soviet Union, foreign goods have flooded in, almost reaching the level of dumping. In fact, it is actually dumping.

Nowadays, the goods in the past have changed from being expensive and sparse, and the stores have become dazzling. The only drawback is that ordinary people cannot afford them!

Since now is the implementation stage of shock therapy, you should all know that inflation and the depreciation of the ruble have reached an alarming level. Therefore, you cannot afford to buy high-end goods in the store. Especially those imported goods, most of which need to be paid in US dollars.

Settlement!

Against this background, the Li Yuan-Yin Wan trade line highlighted its advantages.

First of all, there is a large domestic supply of small commodities;

The second is large-scale shipping, which greatly reduces transportation costs;

Finally, there is the option of barter trade, which solves Russia's most troublesome foreign exchange problem. Moreover, the exported items are all "junk goods" that Russia does not need, so Yin Wan and the others can make money from both ends.

In the original history, even the self-employed individuals in the domestic gangs could live up to the myth of being bankrupt. Now they have become large-scale and group-based, minimizing costs, so they can easily become bigger and stronger...

This time Yin Wan came to pick him up in person, and he drove Li Yuan to a manor on the outskirts of Moscow.

Looking at the size of the manor, it's obvious that Yin Wan is doing well. And here, in addition to Yin Wan's family, there are five or six business partners. The barbecue grill has already been set up and the preparations are lively.

A party.

"Yin Wan, what should we do with Thorkill's arms?" Li Yuan complained with a smile, "There is still a market for light weapons and bullets, but who would want heavy weapons and artillery shells? You can't just put them in a warehouse until they are scrapped."

Yin Wan and his companions burst into laughter immediately. As superstitious stuffed bears, they had too many heavy weapons here. Unfortunately, the black sorghum in Africa didn’t know how to use them?

"Just stay with you! Why don't those *** in Africa stop fighting?" Yin Wan shrugged helplessly.

The stockpile of arms in Russia has piled up like a mountain, and they are constantly being shipped back to the country from the CIS and other Eastern European countries. Do they still need to be shipped back from Africa? Where can I find the transportation fees?

Li Yuan was also a little puzzled. In his previous life, wasn't Africa a mess? Why is it so peaceful now except for some tribal conflicts?

Someone next to him smiled and said: "Li, originally we wanted to sell more military supplies in stock through you. From what you said, it should be very difficult. So what do you want?"

"It's better to have trucks! If possible, we also need general-purpose machine tools. Second-hand ones, in stock, as long as they can be used. Let's get 100 units first!"

Few people know that after the disintegration of the former Soviet Union, the most imported products into the country were various types of machine tools, and there was no need to worry about not being able to sell them.

However, European and American countries do not need it at all. Dezi and Benzi are both major machine tool production countries. On the contrary, due to the economic boom in China, there is an urgent need for a large amount of machine tool equipment.

"Then we want all kinds of canned food. At least half of them are canned fruits."

"Canned fruit? Don't you have any in your army supply warehouse?"

"It's been emptied out a long time ago. Now I can't even find a mouse. Hahaha!"

"No problem. I asked them to ship the goods this week. It will take more than a month to reach St. Petersburg. Are two ships enough?"

"Don't worry! We all have our own sales areas. We can all sell out soon."

Everyone should know that Russia has a vast territory. But from the perspective of product sales, this market is very unfriendly.

The largest city in Russia is Moscow, with a population of more than 10 million. The second largest city is St. Petersburg, with a population that has dropped to more than 5 million. The other large cities are in the early 100s.

Due to the long distance between cities and poor traffic conditions, it is very inconvenient at least in winter, right? So it is equivalent to separate independent markets with millions to tens of millions?

This is one of the reasons why the light industry in the former Soviet Union was very underdeveloped. Because the light industry needs a market population to support it. How can a market of several million compare to a market of tens of millions? The manufacturing costs are sky-high.

Not to mention, there is a huge market with a population of more than one billion in the east?

On the other hand, even in Russia, it is difficult to develop another domestic market. The transportation cost is too high. And without local people, it is impossible to even product distribution, payment settlement, etc. Likewise.

It increases the cost of sales in disguised form.

To be honest, just like St. Petersburg, if you want to develop the market in the Russian mainland, it is better to ship directly to other countries.

Therefore, there must be help from local snakes like Yin Wan.

After discussing business matters, Li Yuan and Yin Wan began to discuss immigration.

The main reason why I went to Russia first this time was to meet with Yin Wan's companions. Several of them are very interested in immigrating to the United States.

"...The basic situation of this movie project is this. I can't guarantee how much you will make, but I can guarantee you 80% of the bottom line."

"Then we don't need a guarantee? Just follow the normal movie investment?"

"Then you can earn more. I can also guarantee that there will be no Hollywood traps. We are all friends, so we will give you this opportunity. If you go to the United States in the future, you can definitely inquire about it. Okay

It is almost impossible for Hollywood to agree to such conditions. Let me introduce the situation when I first arrived in Hollywood! I invested in two projects, one is..."

"Li! We absolutely trust you, but investment is definitely risky. Especially this kind of movie investment is extremely risky? Isn't that right?"

"Yes! But the money you get is very clean. And you can use this clean money to invest in immigration."

"Is this okay? We are here

What else do you want? Just quick money that can be easily converted into cash?”

Yin Wan and the others burst into laughter. They were all planning to immigrate anyway, so why not sell? Besides, they could also save the cost of immigration.

Li Yuan thought about it for a few seconds: "Let's do this! Are there any scrap ships or scrap steel? I'll take as much as there are."

After the disintegration of the former Soviet Union, abandoned factories were everywhere, and there were many abandoned vehicles along the roads. Even scrapped tanks were reclaimed from the sea. Where would there be a shortage of scrap steel? It was like picking it up for free.

It's just that others either don't have the ability to do it, or they don't like this kind of small business, so no one does it at all.

"Hulk ship? Scrap steel?" Yin Wan and the others were puzzled.

Li Yuan made a gesture and made a phone call in front of them: "Haden! Do you want a ship-breaking yard and a steel plant? A steel plant is a small electric furnace for making scrap steel? There should only be hundreds of thousands of tons per year.

output?"

"Ah?" Harden was stunned for a moment, then said happily, "Li, of course! Do you know how expensive it is to import steel now? And it can provide at least 10,000 jobs! And it doesn't matter if the steel plant loses money, I will

Let the old man and the president buy shares, and the government will subsidize it in the future."

"How is it possible to lose money? All raw materials are scrap steel!"

"Li, if you don't lose money, where will the subsidies come from? Hahaha!"

"..."

Li Yuan hung up the phone and said to Yin Wan and the others with a smile: "Did you see it? Thorkill can solve part of it, and the rest can be shipped to us in China."

In fact, the current domestic demand for scrap steel is also unlimited. For the sake of environmental protection, it is better to dismantle fewer ships!

Yin Wan and the others smiled, and the atmosphere became more relaxed:

"Li, can you give me some advice? This kind of business won't last long after all. It's better to have a stable industry?"

Anyone who is not an idiot can see that squandering the assets left over from the former Soviet Union will sooner or later sell them all.

Li Yuan was a little surprised: "Stable industry? It's in Russia? Aren't you ready to immigrate?"

Yin Wan smiled and said, "Have you ever heard of dual citizenship?"

Li Yuan suddenly realized that the United States and Russia are both countries that recognize dual nationality.

But what industries will Russia have in the future? In addition to resource export, it will also be resource export... right?
To be continued...
