Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 25 Hailanpao’s experiences (please collect and recommend)

The visitor was a Russian from the Soviet Union, but he spoke fluent Northeastern dialect. After Zhang Guanhua introduced him, the man hugged him, which caught Li Weidong off guard.

"Hello, Boss Li. I heard you have good stuff here, so I'm here!" Although he spoke fluent Mandarin, his tone and movements were still standard Soviet-Russian style.

The next step was much smoother. This Soviet Russian named Demirit Kiribel was a businessman and a nobleman of Soviet Russia. His father was a high official. As for what official, Zhang Guanhua didn't know.

Kiribel mainly relies on goods shipped in from various ports in the Far East, then sent to Moscow via the Siberian Railway, and then sold to similar people at a high price. He earns more than them.

I heard from Zhang Guanhua that there are only a few businessmen like him in the Far East. They are not short of money and have connections. As long as they have good goods, they will take them.

It's such a good name, it's just worse than Mr. Bei.

After bargaining, nearly eight tons of sugar were paid for US$16,000, which was an increase of five times.

Those clothing and daily chemical products are only given three thousand US dollars, plus two additional trucks.

This truck is not expensive, four to five hundred US dollars is not bad in this area, but you have to pay taxes when crossing the border, and the taxes are not cheap, but no matter how you calculate it, it is a huge profit.

"I think we will definitely cooperate happily in the future!" After the transaction, the two shook hands and hugged.

Li Weidong was not in a hurry to leave. He now had support, at least four bodyguards. Although they were not completely trustworthy, they were more courageous.

This Soviet version of Mr. Bei was very enthusiastic. Li Weidong was puzzled. Zhang Guanhua told him that Mr. Bei was very polite to useful people. If you brought him so many goods every day, he would treat you as an ancestor.

You see, this is capitalism, where money comes first. We don’t talk about anything else but money. If you can make money for me, then we are good friends and brothers. If you can’t make money for me, then you can go wherever you want.

I heard that Li Weidong wanted to visit Hailanpao, so I immediately arranged for someone to be the tour guide. He was also a Soviet Russian who could speak Mandarin, Bex.

"Can I visit your factory here?"

"Factories, what's there to see? Now almost all factories have stopped working. Workers are on vacation. Who can still work if they can't eat? They are all trying to make money to buy bread!"

Although the Soviet Union and Russia are now in a special period, their prices are very high, almost equal to the level of developed countries, otherwise they would not be qualified to compete between the two hegemons.

It's just that the light industry was very poor, and in the later stages it couldn't even supply basic daily necessities.

Bakers took Li Weidong to look at several factories in Hailanpao. Hailanpao's main industries are transportation equipment and wood processing, and naturally there are various industries and equipment supporting the shipbuilding industry.

Li Weidong was passing by a factory. The factory didn't look big, with just a few workshops. There were no workers at all. There were only two or three security guards hiding in the communication room warming themselves by the fire.

The heating had already been turned off, and there was no one in the factory. Naturally, there was no need for heating. In the weather that was tens of degrees below zero, Li Weidong was bundled up tightly when he went out, not to mention the janitor who was short of clothes.

This was the case after visiting several factories in a row. Only a few of them were still working. Maybe it was because of the cold weather or the recession.

The scene he saw made Li Weidong sigh. This is the old big brother, but now he looks like he is in economic depression.

Walking to a small factory with only two workshops, Li Weidong suddenly asked if he could go in and take a look. Bakers was speechless, but for Jefferson's sake, he still agreed.

Now that the ruble has depreciated so much, everyone would rather use RMB or even barter, and barter is a better transaction method.

For five dollars, the guard happily let people in, and he also acted as a tour guide and introduced them.

This is a machining workshop with seven or eight lathes, including turning, milling, and planing. There is even a very high-precision milling machine, but the stroke is not very large. You can tell at a glance that it is used to process small equipment or non-standard parts.

Li Weidong once had such a small workshop, so he was naturally very affectionate towards such an environment. He touched the dusty sleeping car through his gloves.

For this kind of equipment, when he started his business, his father-in-law borrowed 80,000 yuan and his parents gave him 20,000 yuan. It cost 70,000 to 80,000 yuan to buy three second-hand small machine tools. One of them was very similar to this sleeping car and was in good condition.

It's better not to have this.

"Bex, please help me ask if these machine tools are for sale?"

Although Bex was puzzled, he still agreed to ask. The old man wanted to make the decision directly and sell it secretly, but Li Weidong insisted not to agree, so he had to call and ask the leader.

The leader was delighted when he heard that there were Chinese people doing business everywhere in Hailanpao. It was not that he had never thought about it, but when people saw it, they were unwilling to do so.

Not to mention how to get such a bulky thing back to China, if anyone wants this thing in China, they will be given the price of scrap metal, one or two hundred US dollars. Their leaders will not be happy, and they will not be happy if it is too expensive.

The manager said he could sell it, but he had to wait for him to come over to negotiate the price. He looked at the sky and saw that the winter night in Heihe came very early. Although it was only after three o'clock, the sky was already getting dark. If Li Weidong was still a guerrilla, he would naturally not

Dare to spend the night outside.

After discussing it with Bex, we finally decided to wait and see if the leader was red or black.

The factory director is not far from here, he arrived in half an hour, a small car whose name Li Weidong couldn't pronounce. It looked to be quite old.

The visitor first said hello to Bex, and then glanced at Li Weidong and others. Li Weidong expressed his intention to buy those pieces of equipment.

Li Weidong couldn't understand Russian, so this man started to argue with Bex. As for what Bex said, Li Weidong couldn't understand. At least it seemed that he was trying to gain benefits for him.

Finally, Bakers told Li Weidong that the four pieces of equipment he chose would cost eight thousand US dollars. Li Weidong shook his head after hearing this. It seemed that the leader was a smart man. He could tell at a glance that Li Weidong wanted to buy the equipment and deliberately asked for the price.

If the price of these pieces of equipment in China is not to mention 8,000 US dollars, but twice as much, Li Weidong also believes that he has the ability to sell them, but this is Lao Su.

"Bex, tell him three thousand dollars, I want these four pieces of equipment, or we'll just leave!" If you dare to ask for it, Li Weidong naturally dares to bargain. The four pieces of equipment total about ten tons. How much scrap iron is there in the country?

Mao per pound, the price is quite generous.

The factory director yelled, but Li Weidong didn't take it seriously. Li Weidong insisted not to increase the price. In the end, the factory director had to add an additional $500 to the deal, and it was paid to him personally.

Li Weidong readily agreed, but he had to add a few small equipment.

Li Weidong paid a deposit of US$500, and the boss called four workers overnight to start dismantling the equipment. All the equipment will be loaded and taken away before noon tomorrow.

Li Weidong drove with his bodyguard to find a decent hotel, and checked in with Bakers' repeated assurances. Bakers left with a large tip, saying that he would serve Boss Li tomorrow.

Despite Bex's repeated assurances, Li Weidong had a huge sum of money, so he asked Master Shi and others to take turns to rest and wait for dawn. A long night passed, and it was already eight o'clock at dawn, which was at least an hour behind Qizhou.
