Since 1979 I have been in the tide of the times

Chapter 192 For the Stomach, Everything Is a Waste That Can Be Exchanged for Money
"Have you brought a business invitation letter with you? If not, what should you do when you arrive in Vladivostok?" Wang Weidong asked.

Hearing Wang Weidong's question, Adlov thought it was funny, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "Of course not if it was five years ago, but who cares about that now!"

Yes, it's March of [-], who cares about that?

Adlov directly sent Wang Weidong to the fish company. Although the off-duty time had already passed, Larimov was still waiting for him in the office.

"Verton, you are finally here! Now I need your help urgently!" Larimov said while holding his hand.

"The workers under me don't have clothes for ocean fishing, and now they lack everything, including bread, butter, clothes, shoes and socks!" Larimov complained.

Although the fishing time is when the weather is relatively warm, workers who go fishing in the Sea of ​​Okhotsk and Bering Sea still have to wear thick and warm clothes, which cannot be solved by chicken feather down jackets.

If it is impossible to catch fish, the entire fishing company will stop operating completely, including hundreds of workers, who will have no food to eat, no fish to eat.

It is March now, and the fishing boats are about to go to sea. This problem must be solved as soon as possible.

"I can't solve the problem of food. Exporting food needs government approval." Wang Weidong said.

"Then help us solve the problem of clothes and shoes first, we need the warmest!" Larimov said.

"I can help you with this, but what do you exchange for?" Wang Weidong asked.

"Cod, of course! We'll have fish in a month!" Larimov replied.

Wang Weidong knew that Larimov would give this answer, so he immediately shook his head.

"No, I can't sell cod." Wang Weidong said.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, cod is not easy to preserve, and there are a lot of fish in the market, Wang Weidong does not have Ou Xiaoyang's energy now, he can't sell the cod all at once.

Not just cod, he can't have other fish, including crab.

But the fishing company led by Larimov has nothing but fish at all.

The two sides suddenly fell into a stalemate.

In another year or two, there will be a large amount of scrap steel and wood that can be exchanged, but now is not the time.Those factories have not been abandoned yet, so there is no scrap steel to be dismantled and sold. The fishing company led by Larimov cannot log, and there is no time.

"How about sugar, I can get it!" said Larimov.

Wang Weidong immediately shook his head. There is a lot of white sugar in the big northern country, but there is no shortage of white sugar in China now.The most important thing is that Wang Weidong has no ability to send white sugar into the supply and marketing system in China.

Wang Weidong suddenly looked up and saw the bookshelf behind Larimov. There were rows of books on it, most of which were hardcover books.

He had seen it when he came here two years ago, but he didn't pay attention to it. It seemed that Larimov was just using it for show and didn't read it.

"Waste paper is also fine, you can exchange it with waste paper. For two tons of waste paper, I will help you get [-] pieces of warm cotton clothes and [-] pairs of cotton shoes." Wang Weidong said.

The northern country is rich in forest resources, and the price of paper is not expensive. Wang Weidong felt that it would not be difficult for Larimov to get two tons of waste paper.

"Okay, I can finish this matter within two days, Verton, you have to help me get the clothes within half a month, don't want the down jacket like last time!" Larimov said.

Larimov asked Adelov to arrange for Wang Weidong to live in the dormitory of the fishery company. Adelov came back and asked, "How to deal with two tons of waste paper?"

"This matter is too easy. The torn books and various newspapers and magazines that have accumulated in the company library for decades have been sent to Wilton as waste paper! Anyway, no one has read them for so many years, and it just helps us solve a big problem! So It’s more cost-effective than changing clothes with cod, and we’ve earned it!” Larimov said with a smile.

According to the regulations of the higher authorities, the fishing company must subscribe to several newspapers and magazines, and after a few years of accumulation, there will be a large pile.

"Let them pack up the rags tomorrow and let Wilton take them away." Larimov continued.

Two tons of waste paper is not much in terms of volume, and what Wang Weidong saw at noon the next day were two small wooden boxes.From the palm-width gap, you can see that most of them are newspapers and magazines, and there are a few books.

"Verton, you are my most sincere friend. These waste papers can go through the customs first. I will be waiting for those clothes within half a month. Don't worry, I can transport these waste papers to the River Finn." Larimov Said.

Two days later, Wang Weidong received the two wooden boxes of waste paper in Fenhe from a Chinese who often does business on both sides.

Wang Weidong didn't take the railway, he hired a truck to take the waste paper directly back to Harbin, and took it downstairs to Yao Qiming's house.

Going upstairs and knocking on the door of Yao Qiming's house, Wang Weidong went straight into the kitchen to find an axe.

"Weidong, what are you doing?" Yao Qiming asked.

"Follow me downstairs!" Wang Weidong said.

Walking downstairs, Wang Weidong split a wooden board with an axe, and he reached out and took out some newspapers and handed them to Yao Qiming.

Yao Qiming knew the Russian language above, it was Pravda!
He bent down hastily and flipped through the newspapers. They were the most important newspapers and magazines in the northern country, and there were many books published by the northern country from the 40s to the 80s.

Yao Qiming studied Russian and studied Russian literature. Seeing so many newspapers, magazines and books, his heart beat faster.

"Weidong, where did you get these things?" Yao Qiming asked.

"Didn't I tell you to go there? That's where I got it, and it's the price of waste paper." Wang Weidong replied.

Yao Qiming looked at the newspapers and books in the wooden box and murmured, "Why did they sell such good things as waste paper? This is too, too..."

Yao Qiming said two "too" but couldn't continue.

That country can no longer take care of culture, it is important to fill the stomach first!

"Weidong, you can't sell these newspapers and books as waste paper. I'll contact Hei University's library immediately, and they will definitely be willing to ask for these things," Yao Qiming said.

"I also think it's a pity that these good things are turned into pulp, so I want to sell these two tons of newspapers, magazines and books for 3 yuan!"

"It's worth it, it's worth it! I'll give you 3 yuan, and I'll buy these newspapers and books!" Yao Qiming said.

Two days later, there was a small advertisement posted on many utility poles in the oil city west of Harbin City: "Buy labor insurance wool shoes over size 42 at a high price, 30 yuan per pair! Large set of labor insurance cotton clothes, 60 yuan each! Interested Please go to such-and-such hotel in such-and-such a room to trade, it’s foolish!"

　I can’t look at the early 90s from today’s perspective. I’ve heard that there were many miraculous things about crossing the border at that time. Was waste paper imported? Of course, there were many mistakes in the writing process. lost.
