Chapter 285 The thoughtful Luo Jin

According to historical records, the GAZ 67 jeep was a domestic jeep equipped by the Soviet Red Army during the Great Patriotic War. It fought with jeeps aided by the United States. It was nicknamed "Ivan Willis", according to statistics from relevant Soviet departments

, a total of nearly 100,000 vehicles were produced before and after. The GAZ 67 Jeep was also provided to the Chinese and Korean troops and participated in the campaign to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea. The GAZ 67 Jeep's off-road performance on hard wasteland is better than that of the American Jeep, but its disadvantage is that it is reliable.

It has poor performance, poor brake system design, and inconvenient repair and maintenance; especially fatal is the poor economy, not only low power, but also high fuel consumption. Therefore, after the end of the Patriotic War, the Soviet Union began to develop newer jeep models, such as the Ga

Si 69.

The reason why Fang Mingyuan was impressed by it was because he once saw a post on the forum, which mentioned that the GAZ 67 Jeep occupied a place among the top ten military vehicles in the world during World War II, and it even mentioned that

, although the GAZ 67 Jeep was exported to China and participated in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, it can no longer be found in China, not even in military museums and film studios. Whenever movies and TV shows of that period were shot, GAZ 67 Jeeps were used.

Replaced by Sri Lanka type 69.

"Master Fang, are you interested in this car? These are two broken cars. Even if you add one piece to it, it won't be half of the value of your car." Luo Jin said with a smile. This car was brought from Vishen, Amur Region across the street.

I found it in the warehouse at Skidi Port. The road conditions here in Huhe County are not good. Driving a car here is just a waste of money. And his original two Beijing jeeps happened to be sent out for something, and they won't be able to come back in the next two days.

, so it was temporarily used as the worst. Fortunately, he and Wuwei were old acquaintances, and he didn't care about this face issue. However, looking at Fang Mingyuan's two imported off-road vehicles, and then looking at his own car, it was indeed a bit...

Fall share.

"Mr. Luo, I heard Mr. Wu mention you a long time ago. This time I came here to disturb you and caused trouble to you, Mr. Luo. My surname is Fang, Fang Mingyuan." Fang Mingyuan patted the body of the jeep, "You know what this is?

Is it a model of a Jeep? It looks a little unfamiliar. I don’t think we’ve ever seen one in China.”

"Hahahaha, to be honest, Mr. Fang, I dug this out of the warehouse at Veshenskdi Port. The road conditions here are not good, and the county's finances are also tight. There is no money to build roads, and there are often trucks.

The transportation of goods here has become like this year after year. Domestic cars can't travel very far here, and the two domestic jeeps I have here have been sent out for work, so I received you

After the call today, I remembered that I had seen these two cars in the warehouse at the Veshenskdi Port. They were well maintained and could still be driven. They were driven out now, which made Fang Shao smile.

Yes. This car is an old car, well... I think about it, I think I heard someone say, this car is called GAZ... 67, yes, yes, GAZ 67!" Luo Jin is a cheerful man,

He speaks with the cheerfulness of a Northeastern man.

"Sure enough, it's GAZ 67!" Fang Mingyuan was delighted, but he didn't show any expression on the surface.

Wu Wei also came over and circled the car a few times, shaking his head and saying: "It is indeed an old car. It is quite shiny despite its appearance. Look at the workmanship and the configuration in the car. It is quite boring. Brother, what a shame.

If you can buy it out, it will almost become an antique."

"Ahem! Aren't we here to pick you up, brother? We are all a family and don't care about this. If outsiders come, although Huhe County is small, I, Luo Jin, can still afford to borrow two decent cars!"

Luo Jin laughed.

Fang Mingyuan patted the body of the Jeep and said with a smile: "Mr. Luo, can I buy this car?"

"Buy? This car? What's the use of this car? In addition to consuming a lot of fuel, it's also not comfortable. It's just for short-distance running. It's not as good as your car for long-distance!" Luo Jin showed a surprised look. Wuwei on the side

The others also looked surprised.

In China in the 1990s, there were still only a few people who could privately own cars, and the country had just opened, and they still lacked understanding of European and American fashion. It can be said that they had no concept of the term classic car. They also had no idea what would happen in the future.

, the value of classic cars.

The so-called "classic cars" refer to old cars that were used in the early days and are still working. The concept of classic cars began in the 1970s and is said to have first appeared in a British magazine, although its literal translation should be "

"Classic old car", but due to the strong anthropomorphism of the word "classic car", this statement was quickly recognized by classic car enthusiasts. It quickly spread and became the unified name for vintage cars by enthusiasts all over the world.

In the following more than ten years, more and more people around the world paid attention to classic cars, causing the value of classic cars to increase dramatically. For example, Fang Mingyuan remembered that a 1933 American Qushenberg car was sold in

The auction house sold for $1 million, and a classic Bugatti car sold for $6.5 million.

Fang Mingyuan doesn't know whether these two GAZ 67s can be officially included in the ranks of classic cars and have recognized collection value. However, if these two GAZ 67s that can still be used normally can be brought back to China, they may be able to send them out in the future.

For what purpose?

"Anyway, I'm just interested in this kind of Soviet jeep that appeared in the Great Patriotic War. Can Mr. Luo help me and sell it to me at a reasonable price?" Fang Mingyuan laughed.

I can't explain this thing clearly.

Luo Jin and Wu Wei looked at each other in confusion. Although they couldn't explain what Fang Mingyuan meant by doing this, since he insisted...

"Okay, since Mr. Fang has this request, I will talk to the other side and buy it for you. I guess it's not a big problem. These two cars have always been stored deep in the warehouse, except when they come out for a couple of laps later.

I've never seen it useful except for other people!" Luo Jin responded immediately. This Fang Mingyuan is the young owner of Carrefour Supermarket and has a rich family. If he builds a relationship with others, he may be able to ask for them anytime in the future.

Of course, I couldn't refuse such a small thing, such as a simple effort.

"Young Master Fang, Brother Wu, please don't stand here anymore. I have arranged a place for you in the county. After a long journey, you should take a shower first. Then I will treat you to the authentic Russian braised chicken with cream."

Beef patties, Russian-style steaks, Shashili, and Subaru soup, although they are not as delicious as our hometown dishes, they still have a different flavor!" Luo Jin greeted the crowd. As he spoke, he pulled Wu Wei into the car where he was.

Everyone also got on the bus one after another.

"Mingyuan, this Luo Jin is very thoughtful!" Lin Lian whispered in Fang Mingyuan's ear, her breath making Fang Mingyuan's ears itchy, and a faint fragrance would drift from his ears.

"Huh? Why do you say that?" Fang Mingyuan said a little strangely.

"Think about it, he has been running transit trade here for many years, and he must be very familiar with the people here. How could he not even be able to borrow two cars? He has to go to the Soviet Union to use old cars from other people's warehouses. Here,

Didn't you think more about it?" Lin Lian said with a faint smile.

"Damn!" Fang Mingyuan slapped his thigh. He was so distracted by the two GAZ 67s that he didn't see Luo Jin's intention. If he and Wu Wei could be considered dragons crossing the river, Luo Jin was.

It's a waste of time. Although everyone has some kind of connection, this shopping mall is like a battlefield. Luo Jin may have other plans. This time he drove two Gass. He didn't have any cars. He took this opportunity.

Show Wu Wei and himself his connections in the Soviet ports.

Fang Mingyuan really guessed it right. When Luo Jin came out today, he really planned to take this opportunity to show Wuwei and the others his connections at the Veshenskdi Port. He has been operating in the sea for the past few years, although it is not

He has accumulated a lot of wealth and is somewhat famous in the Hua-Su border trade. However, as more and more people in the country pay attention to the huge benefits brought by the Hua-Su border trade, many capitals are bigger than him.

Strong companies have also joined the ranks.

Although Luo Jin's revenue last year still maintained an upward trend, compared with the growth rate of the previous two years, it has slowed down significantly. A very important reason for this is that there are more people engaged in this industry than before.

A lot of it was due to lower prices among peers. The cunning old man was enjoying the benefits. Moreover, Luo Jin himself was becoming more and more dissatisfied with this kind of petty business. So when Wuwei expressed its intention to participate in the Hua-Su border trade,

Luo Jin was interested in joining forces with Wuwei. The two families had been in contact for many years and knew each other well. This was naturally more attractive to Luo Jin than cooperating with outsiders.

And more importantly, Luo Jin also intends to borrow the political resources of Wuwei's father. Although Wuwei's father is just the future district chief of a district in the capital, which does not sound like a big official, but this official in the capital is naturally more powerful than those from other provinces.

Officials at the same level in the city are one level higher than him. If Wuwei's father were to be released, he would have to be an official at the provincial or departmental level, and it might even be even higher.

For these officials from other provinces and cities, if they can have a relationship with department-level cadres in the capital, they will value it very much. If they join forces with Wuwei, Wuwei's status will be enough to make many people rush for orders.

Always think twice before acting, so as not to get into trouble. The department-level cadres in the capital may stab you at the local provincial and ministerial-level cadres in a sudden move, leaving you unable to bear the consequences.

Although he plans to bring Wu Wei in to join forces, he has no intention of giving up the company's dominance, so he appropriately demonstrates his influence here to facilitate subsequent negotiations.

But the appearance of Fang Mingyuan caught Luo Jin off guard. The identity of Shaodong from Carrefour Supermarket was worth hundreds of millions of yuan. How could he compete with others when he only had 18 million people selling iron and steel?

Luo Jin secretly prayed that it would be best if Fang Mingyuan is young and fun, and comes to see the exotic customs, but is not also interested in this border trade, otherwise, a predator will appear here!
