Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 1585 Spiritual Totem
Facing the great opportunity presented by the Soviet Union, Duan Yun was busy "robbing people", while his wife Cheng Qingyan was busy "robbing money".

Cheng Qingyan was not very interested in the fact that her husband frequently invited Soviet experts to visit and exchange in the country. She was interested in how to use this opportunity to expand trade with the Soviet Union.

The strength and financial resources of Tianyin Group are far from those of Mou Zhong and his Nande Group. In terms of asset scale, the total assets of Tianyin Group are hundreds of times that of Nande Company, which means that Cheng Qingyan has More capital to carry out this kind of international trade.

Moreover, the trade with the Soviet Union does not need to be done by Cheng Qingyan himself. The only thing he needs to do is to recruit some talents who have studied abroad in the Soviet Union, and then send them to the Soviet Union to inspect the Soviet Union to see what items are in short supply there and make a detailed list. , and made a relatively complete assessment of the shortage and demand of each commodity, and the rest is to contact the buyer in the Soviet Union, organize the supply of goods, and engage in large-scale cross-border trade in the form of barter.

Moreover, compared with Mouzhong, Tianyin Group, which is invested by Poly Group and Shenzhen State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, has a formal foreign trade license, which makes Tianyin Group's cross-border trade completely legal, and the scale can also be very large. big.

Almost overnight, Cheng Qingyan and his team contacted hundreds of domestic state-owned manufacturers of food and textiles through their members of the chamber of commerce. Since they had just experienced the turmoil of the previous year at this time, most light industrial enterprises were facing capital shortages. On the verge of debt repayment and bankruptcy, there is a large backlog of goods in the factory, which allows Cheng Qingyan to buy these inventory goods at a very low price, and then these goods are quickly transported to Suifenhe and other border ports through the powerful logistics system of Tianyin Group. Prepare to send a large number to the Soviet Union.

Cheng Qingyan is good at calculating. She gave these domestic light industry state-owned manufacturers the lowest ultra-low prices, and many products were even lower than the cost price. But even so, Cheng Qingyan's move still made many domestic manufacturers "grateful".

Because compared to other businessmen, Cheng Qingyan has never defaulted on the payment of goods, and basically settles in cash. As long as the goods are in good condition, the money will be credited into the other party's account on the same day. To put it bluntly, it was like sending charcoal in the snow, and many companies were "resurrected" because of this, and some manufacturers even sent the pennant to Cheng Qingyan's office.

But at this time, Cheng Qingyan had another plan in her heart. She never did business at a loss, and all trade processes were carefully calculated. Even the sales of the Soviet products she bought in exchange had already been found in advance. .

Corruption is serious in the Soviet Union now. If you can bring them a large amount of light industrial products and food, you can even exchange some sensitive technologies in the heavy industry field. For this reason, Cheng Qingyan went to BJ specifically and found a representative from the Poly Group. The executives specially discussed the list of goods exchanged for this trip to the Soviet Union, including some urgently needed heavy industry parts and products in the country.

At the beginning of May, the logistics company contracted by Duan Yun’s two apprentices, Erhu, under Tianyin Group began to operate at full capacity. Hundreds of freight vehicles drove to state-owned factories in various provinces across the country. At Suifenhe Port, it was put into storage and packed, ready to be sent to the Soviet Union.

"My dad used to tell me that the Soviet Union was the spiritual totem of their generation, but now it has become so weak..." On the balcony of her home, Cheng Qingyan, who had just had dinner, looked out the window and said to her husband Said.

"No dynasty is eternal. For 5000 years in China, the long-term division must be united, and the long-term union must be divided. This is an inevitable historical law." Duan Yun pondered for a while, and then said: "What little people like us can do is to follow the trend and work hard. Avoid the dangerous shoals, but it is impossible to swim against the current."

"You're right, I'm afraid my dad would never have imagined that we can also take the corner of the big brother of the Soviet Union now." When she said this, Cheng Qingyan chuckled, and then said: "But I always feel that you spend a lot of money. So much money to invite Soviet experts to work in our country is somewhat worthless, with just a few of them, can we make back our capital?"

Cheng Qingyan naturally knew that her husband had recently invested a lot of money in discovering Soviet experts, and even planned to increase the annual research and development expenses to 1 million US dollars. This somewhat puzzled her, because in her opinion, those Soviet experts were not available in China. To build their country well, and the technology of the Soviet Union is not as good as that of the United States and Europe. It is still unknown how much commercial returns they can bring when they come to China. Cheng Qingyan is not optimistic about this.

"Ordinary Soviet experts are indeed more than the price we offer, and the things they develop may not be able to obtain commercial returns. Hiring these experts with high salaries is basically a loss..." Duan Yun said.

"Then why are you still..."

"There is no difference between technology research and development and business. It is also a kind of gambling in essence. Most technicians are mediocre, but as long as one or two of them can develop technologies beyond this era, we will be able to maintain our business. Earn money with interest." Duan Yun paused, and then continued: "As a technology company, it has always been people-oriented, and you should not underestimate these Soviet experts, no matter what, they were once the superpowers of the Soviet Union. The smartest group of people, if my plan can be implemented, our company's technological level can quickly shorten the gap with the world's advanced technology, and even surpass it in some aspects. This is only a short-term dividend that can be seen. With the continuous investment of funds, I believe they will bring us more and more surprises."

"I'm only interested in the profits I can see. Nothing means risks. I won't do that," Cheng Qingyan said.

"This is the difference between the two of us, but the two of us run this company together, so we can learn from each other." Duan Yun smiled, and then said: "I plan to buy a state-owned enterprise next, and I plan to spend 5 About ten thousand yuan."

"Acquisition of a state-owned enterprise? What kind of enterprise?" Cheng Qingyan asked in surprise.

"It's an automobile company in Northeast China." Duan Yun glanced at his wife and continued, "Now that we have the license to enter the automobile industry, this is a great opportunity for me. In addition to opening a branch factory in Shanghai and establishing R&D Center, in addition to cooperating with the localization of Santana cars, I also plan to acquire a state-owned car company to develop and produce the first truly high-level domestic car!"
