industrial overlord

Chapter 369
The place where Chen Tian asked Lin Zhenhua to meet was at Donglaishun in Wangfujing.When Lin Zhenhua arrived, Chen Tian and the person he wanted to introduce had already arrived, and were sitting at a table chatting.The man was of medium build, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and looked like a successful person, but from his dark complexion, Lin Zhenhua could still see that this man must have suffered and suffered.

"Sorry, both of you, I'm late." Lin Zhenhua stepped forward and said apologetically.

"No, no, we've just arrived." The person brought by Chen Tian quickly stood up and greeted Lin Zhenhua.

Chen Tian didn't stand up. With his friendship with Lin Zhenhua, there was no need for such politeness.He pointed to that person, and introduced to Lin Zhenhua, "Wu Jie, the general manager of Shenyang Dawa Trading Company."

"Haha, my general manager is a polished commander. Compared with a general manager like Mr. Lin who commands thousands of troops, he is simply a small soldier." Wu Jie said with a laugh.When Chen Tian introduced Lin Zhenhua in advance, he said that this person is an international loser, and now it seems that he really has that meaning.It was the first time he and Lin Zhenhua met, but they were extremely enthusiastic. It was obvious from a glance that they were used to dealing with all kinds of people.

After a little humility, the two sat down respectively.The waiter came over and asked, "Everyone, what would you like to eat?"

Wu Jie looked at Lin Zhenhua and said, "President Lin?"

Lin Zhenhua waved his hand and said, "Don't make me decide, I'm the worst at ordering food."

"Boss Lin is too polite." Wu Jie said, then turned to Chen Tian, ​​and said, "How about, let Boss Chen decide? I'm done talking today, and I'll pay the bill at the end. Don't rob me, whoever robs me , who am I in a hurry with?"

Chen Tian laughed and said, "I won't fight with you. Both Zhenhua and I work for the country. No matter how much money the company has, it's not ours. Only you, Wu, always earn and spend by yourself. Don't let us You pay the bill, who else can pay the bill?"

"Mr. Chen's words are really too polite. It is because you two are working for the country that I can't compare with you. No matter how rich a person is, can he be richer than the country? However, today I sincerely Please, both of you, if you can appreciate it, I think it's smoke from the ancestral grave, so I dare not ask you to pay the bill." Wu Jie said very humbly.

As a second-generation official, Chen Tian never knew what it means to be polite.From his point of view, being able to contact Lin Zhenhua for Wu Jie and having dinner with Wu Jie in his busy schedule is indeed a great deal of face to Wu Jie, and there is no reason to rush to pay the bill.He raised his head and said to the waiter: "You don't even need to ask. When you go to Donglaishun, you will naturally eat boiled mutton. Half a catty of mutton is a plate. First, 10 plates, if it is not enough, add more."

"Two more bottles of Erguotou." Wu Jie added.

"Uh... well, it's up to the owner." Lin Zhenhua was speechless, since he had no money or color anyway, so everything was arranged by Chen Tian.

The wine and meat were served soon, and the charcoal fire in the copper hot pot was burning vigorously. The three of them ate the meat while drinking Erguotou. After a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere of chatting became lively.

"I heard from Brother Chen that Wu always does trade, what kind of trade does he do specifically?" Lin Zhenhua tentatively asked Wu Jie.

Wu Jie said: "What kind of trade do I do? I'm just an international loser, mainly in the Soviet Union. Look at my company name, it's called Dawa Trading Company. In the Soviet Union, my company is called Dawalixu Company. Valish means comrade in Russian."

"It turned out to be such a Dawa." Lin Zhenhua nodded, "Did Mr. Wu work in the foreign trade department?"

Wu Jie shook his head and said: "I was born as a worker. Both my parents were workers, workers in the steel factory. I first entered the factory as a substitute. I get more than 300 yuan a month, which is just enough to feed myself, plus smoking and drinking. I didn’t even dare to buy good cigarettes, and once I bought good cigarettes, I would overspend. Later, I couldn’t take it anymore, so I quit my job and did it myself.”

Lin Zhenhua couldn't help laughing, he remembered Xiong Lijun's appearance back then, and he really had a fight with Wu Jie.Xiong Lijun's going into the sea was encouraged by Lin Zhenhua, but now it seems that even if Lin Zhenhua didn't have a traversing group like Lin Zhenhua, Xiong Lijun would eventually go into the sea, just like Wu Jie in front of him.

"When I first went to sea, I just bought some electronic watches, toad mirrors and so on. At that time, I was still catching speculators, and I didn't dare to sell them publicly, so I found a small street and alley and sold them on my hand. That's it. , worked for several years, and saved some money.” Wu Jie continued to talk about his family history, “In the past two years, the relationship between our country and the Soviet Union improved, and a few buddies went to Manzhouli to fight with the Soviet Union. The Soviets made a lot of money doing border trade. I saw that this was a way out, so I followed them."

"Then you registered a trading company?" Lin Zhenhua asked.

Wu Jie said: "Yes, the business is getting bigger and bigger, and it's not decent without a company. I started as a border trader, and later I got a visa with the help of Soviet friends I met when I was doing business, and directly brought the business to the Soviet Union. I went. In the past two years, I have traveled a lot in the Soviet Union."

Hearing what Wu Jie said, Lin Zhenhua's heart moved, and he couldn't help casting a look at Chen Tian.Sitting there, Chen Tian seemed to be concentrating on boiling the mutton. When he saw Lin Zhenhua looking at him, he smiled slightly and nodded calmly, meaning that he introduced this friend to Lin Zhenhua for a reason.

As early as a few years ago, Lin Zhenhua was thinking about the Soviet Union. At the Frankfurt Equipment Exhibition three years ago, he deliberately contacted several Soviet military experts, and even accidentally met Piuzin, who would become an all-powerful fighter in the future.Afterwards, he introduced these Soviet military experts to Liu Xianghai, and told Liu Xianghai to keep in close contact with them.

In addition to channels in the military industry, Lin Zhenhua also wanted to open up business contacts with the Soviet Union. For this reason, he specifically discussed this matter with Chen Tian.However, in the past few years, he has been running around and taking care of everything, and he really doesn't have time to devote himself to implementing his own strategy for the Soviet Union.Now that Chen Tian introduced Wu Jie to him, he actually had the idea of ​​helping him establish contact with the Soviet Union.

"President Wu trades with the Soviet Union. What kind of products do you mainly make?" Lin Zhenhua asked.

"Light industrial products." Wu Jie said, "I used to think that our light industrial products in China were inferior, but when I went to Lao Maozi's place, I realized that their light industrial products were worse than ours. Let's just say that semiconductor radios are considered inferior to us. Pretty common stuff, right? In the Soviet Union there was a shortage of such things. I was staying in a hotel in Moscow, and I sent a semiconductor radio to the waiter when I arrived. Good guy, she was so excited when she received the radio. Here, it’s as if a foreigner gave us a big color TV.”

"Is that an exaggeration?" Lin Zhenhua couldn't believe it. In later generations, he had heard many rumors about the backwardness of the former Soviet Union's light industry, but it seemed a bit too exaggerated to say that they couldn't even make a semiconductor radio.

Chen Tian's mouth was full of mutton, and he said casually: "Zhenhua, what Mr. Wu said is very normal. The Soviets used all the country's resources to engage in military industry. They have a joke, say a Aerospace experts in Moscow can receive signals from satellites far above the South Pacific Ocean, but they cannot receive TV programs from Moscow TV.”

"Isn't it?" Wu Jie felt quite honored when he heard Chen Tian's support for his statement, and his mood became even higher, "I live in a hotel in Moscow, and the TVs in their hotel can't receive programs, they are all snowflakes .”

"And then?" Lin Zhenhua asked.

"Then I didn't watch it, anyway, I don't understand the Russian very well. Lao Maozi's domestic TV programs are not as good as ours, and there are not even any colorful ones." Wu Jie said disdainfully.

Lin Zhenhua scratched his head: "Uh, I'm asking what kind of business you do with the Soviets."

"Oh, you ask this." Wu Jie said, "I just dumped our Chinese light industrial products to the Soviet Union, such as household appliances, clothing, tableware, anyway, those things that we can buy on the street. , in the Soviet Union, they are all in demand, and the price is two or three times that of ours. By the way, there is also spirits, which are the favorite things of old Maozi. The taller the better."

"Then after you sold the goods, did you bring rubles back and exchange them for RMB?" Lin Zhenhua continued to ask.

"That's not going to work." Wu Jie said, "Take the ruble back to exchange for RMB. First, it's not easy to exchange, and second, the exchange rate is low, and the loss is huge. I used the money I got from selling light industrial products to buy them in the Soviet Union. The things that are sold are shipped back to the country to sell.”

"What can the Soviet Union sell to China?" Lin Zhenhua asked.

Wu Jie said proudly: "Yes, the fur coats and binoculars of the Soviet Union are quite cheap, so I will go back and forth. However, there are more and more people going back and forth on these things now, which is a bit uncomfortable. Good shot."

"Then you can't find a way to expand other channels?" Lin Zhenhua asked casually. So far, he hasn't figured out how to use Wu Jie. However, considering that the Soviet Union will disintegrate in a few years, Lin Zhenhua still I feel that I need some people who are familiar with the situation in the Soviet Union so that I can go to the Soviet Union to pick up some foreigners.

Hearing Lin Zhenhua's question, Wu Jie paused for a moment, and then said: "Mr. Lin asked this question. In fact, I asked someone to contact Mr. Chen this time because I wanted to expand some other channels. Do you know that, The cheapest things in the Soviet Union are not fur coats, but..."

Speaking of this, he deliberately paused, observing the expressions of Chen Tian and Lin Zhenhua to decide whether he should continue talking.

Lin Zhenhua looked at Chen Tian, ​​and Chen Tian pointed at Wu Jie with the chopsticks that were holding the meat, and said, "Mr. Wu, if you have anything to say, it's okay to say it, we are friends chatting today, there are no outsiders here, no one will treat you crime."

This is what Wu Jie was waiting for. With Chen Tian's promise, he lowered his voice and said, "Actually, the cheapest thing in the Soviet Union is arms."

　The fourth update, 12000 words, do you want the fifth update tonight?Why don't you bet on Chengzi's character.
