Chapter 3 Sino-Soviet Trade
Several B0-specification drawings were laid on the ground and formed an extremely large floor plan. Zhang Yi looked at the building on the drawings and murmured: "Xiaoyuan's market is too big, it looks bigger than the city department store. Isn't this the mall you want to build?"
Liang Haiping and Liang Yuan have been running to the Municipal Design Institute these days. He knew some of Liang Yuan’s ideas and said, “How is it? I said that I asked you to have a good rest in the morning, right? If this thing is built, you will be busy with your work.”
"Xiaoyuan, where are you going to cover this thing?"
Looking at Liang Haiping and Zhang Yi's puzzled eyes, Liang Yuan smiled and said, "Uncle, let's go to H Province the day after tomorrow."
"H Province?" Liang Haiping and Zhang Yi repeated in a daze.
Liang Yuan said while pulling out a "L Provincial Daily" from the file bag on the table, dated December 1986, and turned to the second page, pointing to the title of "30 Years of Ice Thawing of Watermelon Diplomacy" and said to the two people who were still a little stunned: "Go to Suifenhe, my uncle will read this article carefully and know what's going on?"
Liang Haiping looked carefully at the text message from the "L Provincial Daily": This year, the people of Suifenhe knocked on the trade door between China and the Soviet Union with "watermelon diplomacy" in June. The 30-year cold confrontation was replaced by the smiling faces of border residents. The border crossings between the two countries, which had been silent for many years, quickly heated up... According to the local government, in the second half of the year, Suifenhe completed a trade volume of 10 million Swiss francs with the Soviet Union's Pogranichine area...
Liang Haiping smacked his lips and handed the newspaper to Zhang Yi and said to Liang Yuan: "Xiaoyuan, you asked me to go to the Canton Fair mainly to plan this matter, right?"
Liang Yuan nodded and took out several copies of "Reference News" in his file bag that ordinary people had the right to read two years ago. He turned to the fourth edition and pointed to the "Bucharest Citizens Buying Down Jackets for Christmas" and "Leningrad in the Snow" and other messages, saying: "I remember when I was a child, my father told me that when he was serving in the army, he confronted the Soviet Red Army on the border. There were always loudspeakers over the Soviet Union shouting socialism. The Soviet Union beat three beef potatoes a day. Everyone wore down jackets and every family had cars. My father also said that at that time he was very envious of the Soviet Red Army's winter clothes, which were not bulky and warm."
"Uncle, you see, the news from Romania to the Soviet Union all say that light industrial products have caused rush to buy them. According to what my father and I said, "this should not happen with the living standards of the Soviet people. I suspect that it is likely that the output of light industrial products is far from enough to meet people's needs."
"When my uncle went to Guangzhou, I called Suifenhe Station in the name of the railway group. They said that the port passes the customs basically all daily necessities such as clothes, shoes, etc.."
Liang Yuan pointed to the architectural drawings on the ground and said, "Then I had this idea."
After reading the newspaper that Liang Haiping and Zhang Yi looked at each other but didn't say anything. They silently packed up the newspaper.
Liang Yuan asked curiously: "Uncle, don't you ask?"
"What are you asking? The reference information can still be fake." Liang Haiping raised his hand and pointed to the sky and continued, "That's the newspaper that the big leader reads. These are all foreign affairs. My uncle doesn't understand. Don't look at my uncle's graduation from junior high school, Xiaoyuan is much better than my uncle's school. Xiaoyuan can understand the things of the big leader. Whatever you say is, what should I do."
Liang Yuan ignored the sacred status of "Reference News" in the minds of ordinary people at that time. The founder of the Republic and 286 mentioned the words to "Reference News". The first prime minister of the Republic even personally reviewed the manuscript for it. During the national movement in the 1970s, being able to have a "Reference News" almost became a symbol of identity. In the minds of the people, the "Reference News" at that time was much more awesome than the "Xinhua Insider" in later generations.
Shocked by 50 million and the mysterious and authoritative "Reference News", Liang Haiping instinctively chose to believe in Liang Yuan.
It was Zhang Yi who smiled and said with a refreshing smile: "Auntie is not as smart as your uncle. Anyway, I will believe whoever gives me 100,000 yuan."
Liang Yuan let out a long sigh, thinking that his uncle and aunt had finally settled it. He would not read it as a child by themselves. For Liang Yuan, the newspaper was just to convince Liang Haiping. Liang Yuan, who has memories of his previous life, knew clearly that the annual transaction volume of Suifenhe Port on the Sui Francs doubled every year from 35 million Swiss francs in 1987, until it reached its peak in 1992. The cumulative transaction volume in six years reached 1.3 billion Swiss francs. In Liang Yuan's opinion, there is no easier way to make money than eating this piece of fat.
Before the collapse of the Soviet Union, China and the Soviet Union traded more by barter. At that time, the weak domestic private enterprises had no capital to stir up trouble at the Suifenhe Port, and basically controlled the Soviet trade in the hands of state-owned enterprises. At that time, Chinese goods were very popular in the Far East of the Soviet Union and could be sold for as many as possible. Therefore, Liang Yuan was preparing to take a bite on the fat piece of Suifenhe before the domestic private enterprises were strengthening and intervening.
Liang Yuan said to Liang Haiping: "I happened to catch up with my mother to go to Peking these days. While she was not at home, I happened to go to Suifenhe with my uncle."
Liang Haiping pointed to the underground drawing and asked, "But where do we build such a large market? How to operate? How to settle with the Soviet Union, my uncle doesn't understand."
Liang Yuan smiled and said, "After arriving in Suifenhe, I was looking for a suitable place for building a market with my uncle. My aunt didn't have to go to H Province. In recent years, the city's commercial system has been rectified, and many people are waiting at home. My aunt can choose hardworking and willing to work among those people, and those who are skilled in business will recruit one or two hundred people first. At that time, we will set up a large collective enterprise to manage this newly built market."
"In addition to part of the transactions with the Soviet Union settled in Swiss francs, most of the transactions were bartered. My uncle also knows what the price of fertilizers has increased in recent years."
"It's already 700 yuan per ton." Liang Haiping said with some emotion: "This price may not be available."
"When I first started, we just changed the fertilizer. Didn't my sister-in-law come to visit me the family two years ago and say that the Soviet fertilizer was better than the domestic ones."
"As for retail, we only charge RMB, Swiss francs, US dollars, and don't have other currencies."
Liang Haiping pointed to the drawings on the ground and said, "I have contacted this construction unit for color steel. They also want to send someone to the construction site to check it out, and then make an accurate budget. Will Xiaoyuan notify them to go to Suifenhe together this time?"
Liang Yuan nodded and said, "That's the best. I'll handle everything at once. I don't know when I will go with my uncle next time."
Zhang Yi suddenly interrupted, "Xiaoyuan, can you come back before the 20th when you go to Suifenhe the day after tomorrow? I heard from Jiajia that you will go to Shengjing to participate in the provincial selection of the Qingke Competition on the 20th?"
"I definitely can't come back. Fortunately, I reported Jiajia and Feifei as personnel who invented the air conditioner fan a few days ago. Otherwise, the selection in the province on the 20th would be a disaster. Aunt, after I left, you are notifying Jiajia and Feifei that I won't participate in the competition if I have something to do."
Zhang Yi suddenly laughed and said, "Even if someone participates in the selection for you, Xiaoyuan, you are so miserable. I only heard the two little girls discussing several times, saying that three people have a good day in Shengjing. This time you secretly run to Suifenhe..." Zhang Yi smacked her lips and looked at Liang Yuan with sympathy and continued with a smile: "I really want to see you come back and how to deal with that little girl Feifei."
