Chapter 1380 Military Trade
The effect of this lottery draw was quite great. For three or four days after the draw, the legend of it was still circulating in the streets.
But Wan Feng has completely put this matter behind him.
September is the harvest season. The land is full of roaring machinery, and farmers are busy harvesting the year's crops.
The surface of the Longjiang River was also busy. In less than two months before the closure of the river, all transactions that required transactions were carried out quickly and nervously.
The Soviet side knew that the port was getting closer and closer to the closure date, and knew the consequences of not having this shop in this village. Therefore, the steel mills suddenly burst out with great enthusiasm, and the amount of steel coming over increased significantly.
The amount of steel coming through Heihe Port every day has exceeded 1,000 tons, reaching 1,500 tons at the peak.
The steel consumption at Sijitun Port and Fuyuan Port is also close to 1,000 tons.
The steel materials in Wanfeng's hands are almost all high-quality steel materials. Although the profit from the transaction with the military is less than one-tenth of the profit from Heihe Port, the average profit per ton is still more than a thousand yuan, which is enough in a month.
There are hundreds of millions of profits.
These three piers are extremely busy every day.
At this time, another major event happened in China. Soviet President Gorbachev was going to visit China in the golden autumn of October.
This is a big event that shocked the world.
Since China and the Soviet Union turned against each other in 1960, this was the first high-level contact between the two sides and the first official visit by a Soviet leader.
Wan Feng actually looked down upon the intelligence of the top Soviet officials. If the Soviets hadn't planned to build a long-wave radio station and a combined fleet, how could such a large ally turn against itself?
If the Soviet Union had not acted so hegemonically and unreasonably, and one of the two sides had been the boss and the other the second child in the big socialist family, respecting and helping each other, what else would have happened to Western countries in the world?
Now that the Soviet Union is in trouble, Gorbachev has to rush to visit China, hoping to get economic relief.
This visit was advanced by more than half a year in Wan Feng's memory. It was originally supposed to happen in May of 1989, but now it was advanced to October of 1988.
During this negotiation, the Soviet Union, forced by economic pressure, opened up arms sales.
That is to say, with the opening of arms sales this time, China purchased the Su-27, Kilo-class submarines, Sovremenny-class destroyers and other national artifacts, which suddenly brought China's national defense to a higher level.
"You brat! Give me back my phone."
Zhu Guoxiong's first words when he saw Wan Feng were this.
"Grandpa, I haven't returned my cell phone yet. My wife used it as a toy."
"Ah! Being treated as a toy? You are a member of society. If you are a member of the army, I will not punish you."
"Haha, if I were in the army, you wouldn't buy me a mobile phone at all."
Zhu Guoxiong felt sad when he thought of this: "More than 30,000 yuan is used as a toy for your wife. How wasteful it is."
"Grandpa, what need do you have when you come to Heihe? Even if there is a need now, I'm afraid it's too late. The river will be closed in the middle of next month. After the river is closed, there will only be half a month left until the port is closed.
, I started to finish things off at that time, and it was too late to do anything else.”
"If I don't do anything this time, I'm going to Heihe to do some errands. Come and have a look."
I believe you are evil. You are not in charge of border defense, and there are no military-industrial companies here. Why would you come to this remote place with nothing to do?
"Boy! The leader opposite is going to visit our country. Please express your opinion."
Wan Feng frowned: "Grandpa, have you thought this through your brain? The leader from the other side of the Taiwan Strait came to our country to visit you and asked me for my opinion. Even if you are my grandfather, I have to say that your idea is very wrong."
"You bastard, how dare you call me second?"
"Of course I dare. You don't ask the Ministry of National Defense about this kind of thing but you come to ask me. You are no longer a second-class person, and you are already a second-class person."
"Don't bullshit me. Your views on some things are very unique. What you think in your head is fundamentally different from others."
Is there no essential difference? The answers are all in my head and there is no need to guess. You can get straight to the point. Of course it is different from other people's thoughts.
"Tell me, what is the purpose of that husband called Geerba?"
"Grandpa, aren't you making things difficult for me? Of course he has a lot to do when he comes. How should I answer your question like a map cannon?"
"Then you can give a general idea. Considering that you have been dealing with the Soviets for so long, I found that your previous judgment was very accurate."
Wan Feng didn't understand. Both high-level officials and the military had think tanks. This old man didn't ask those think tanks but came here to fight with him.
"Grandpa, since you insist on asking, I'm just going to make some nonsense. That's it. Just treat it as a joke and don't take it seriously, okay?"
"Come on, there are so many things going on."
Can there not be too many things? What if I say something that I shouldn't say and you send me to work as a laborer?
"Let's just pick the topics we are interested in and talk about all the nonsense. The fact that Gorbachev hurriedly visited China at this time shows that the contradictions and problems in the Soviet Union have reached the point where they cannot be resolved. Political problems
Let’s skip it and just talk about the economic aspect, which means that the Soviet Union will now be unable to uncover the pot.”
"We also know that the Soviet Union's economy is in bad shape right now, but is it so serious that we can't open the pot?"
"Don't look at things at face value. If the president of an empire hurriedly visits a country that has been hostile for almost thirty years, what can he do? It's like in a village when you encounter difficulties and don't get any help from other people's homes, you just
If you can be so shameless as to go to the house of someone you have not dealt with for the rest of your life and humble yourself, what do you do? It’s very simple: borrow money!”
Zhu Guoxiong nodded: "It makes sense."
"Don't listen to those nonsense eight-legged articles in the news about China-Soviet friendship and the long-standing friendship between the two peoples. Bachov just comes and borrows money! His younger brothers' families are too small and not rich.
Nian and the Soviet Union were also at odds with each other. Even if they had money, they would not lend it to the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union could only turn to China if it wanted to tide over the difficulties."
"It seems like we don't have much money either."
"Don't ask me if the country has money now. I don't know. But it's been ten years since we started reforming. We can't be better than the Soviet Union."
"Do you think we'll lend them money?"
Wan Feng shook his head: "The possibility of borrowing is unlikely, but if Maozi is willing to do business, we can buy something from them."
"Xiao Wan, you have been dealing with the Soviet Union for a long time. Can you tell us what we can buy from the Soviets?"
"Except for one area where the Soviet Union has something of interest to us, the other areas are worthless."
"Military trade!"
