Return to the exciting era of 1999

Chapter 2175: Years of Struggle Is Not as Good as One War

"Don't be surprised. They've been keeping an eye on our layout in several places in Europe, especially the houses in Tashkent. They'll buy the ones in good locations if they can, and they'll even raise the price!"

"The same goes for the properties in the Caucasus. Don't let go easily. Don't sell them if you can rent them out. Don't be in a hurry when they triple in value. Take your time..."

This conflict, which was actively promoted by several forces, was inevitable, and Ji Donglai had already anticipated it.

Ji Donglai has now taken over most of the repair factories in Afghanistan. The Koreans are now in a state of confusion. Although they have a father named Sam, no one expected that so many large orders would suddenly appear.

The closer to the battlefield, the larger the orders in the factory.

Several processing plants of Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing in Azerbaijan are now beginning to be flooded with Chinese engineers. Local workers have started working in three shifts, and all kinds of materials are beginning to rush in all directions.

It was at this time that people were surprised to find that those now crucial factories had all been bought up by Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing, leaving almost no chance for others.

It is a sign before major social events that the elites of Da Mao and Er Mao are now starting to leave, with Er Mao heading to Europe and Da Mao heading south. There is almost no suspense.

The price of renting a house in Tashkent alone has more than doubled. The agent at Yiyuan Zhizao is also a local, and he began to explain the benefits of housing to these outside elites using his skilled tactics.

Unlike the locals, these elites from Moscow and St. Petersburg pay the most attention to the quality of the network. All the properties purchased by Yiyuan Zhizao are equipped with Yiyuan Zhizao's network system, which is both secure and fast, and immediately won the recognition of these customers.

"At least two years?"

The agent looked at these social elites with confusion in his eyes.

"We need to work here for two years. How long can you rent it out?"

As the hinterland of Russia, these people have almost no cultural conflicts with the locals, let alone any adaptation.

"We only rent it out for a year, or even shorter. You can get used to it. Just in case you have other ideas next year, you should still rent it for a year!"

What a joke! The rent is still rising, so we don’t accept any long-term lease offers from Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing.

In this way, a steady stream of funds began to flow back to Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing, and Hu Xinyu's tight days were finally over. With the influx of various funds, Hu Xinyu continued to buy large amounts of resource-based assets in Central Asia.

Many people have now realized what is happening and have begun to frantically purchase physical assets, causing prices throughout Central Asia to soar.

"Boss Ji, how did you anticipate this conflict?"

Western media have begun to accurately predict the time when the conflict between Big Mao and Second Mao will break out, and various media are taking action.

The factories at the port of Piraeus are now operating 24 hours a day, with all kinds of equipment continuously heading towards the Black Sea, and the workers are exhausted.

"Both the US and European debts have reached the brink of exploding. Without this conflict, their debts will never be resolved. As the saying goes, a hero is innocent, but he who possesses a treasure is guilty."

"It has the second largest area in Europe and the second largest black soil in the world. There are so many high-quality assets in the country and beautiful women everywhere! With such abundant resources, your military is so weak. If nothing goes wrong here, who else will?"

"This is like the European version of the Sino-Japanese War. No matter who wins, there are only two winners in the end: Europe and the United States! Now Europeans are so indebted that banks dare not lend them money, and negative interest rates are running."

"The U.S. debt is $38 trillion! How long will it take Americans to pay it back without eating or drinking? As long as a conflict breaks out here, I mean a protracted one, as long as World War II. The second largest country in Europe will quickly collapse, and at that time the world's best resources will become the debt holes of many countries."

"Remember, we are still the same as before, only making civilian products. They are free to use them wherever they want after they buy them. Our company does not enter conflict areas, remember that!"

There is no justice or injustice in this conflict. The domestic media generally label these people. In fact, it is a four-way war.

It was also this war that made this generation of Chinese people understand why Northeast China has not been able to abandon military and heavy industries over the years, and even though there has been a large-scale outflow of talent, it has remained steadfast in focusing on military and heavy industries.

Without the support of these military heavy industries, the conflict would not have broken out in the Black Sea, but in the Pacific Ocean.

"I see. Will our people continue to output?"

At this time, Jiang Haokun and Xin Li also came online. Several people looked quietly at Ji Sanchuan, the company's top leader who was much younger than themselves, with admiration in their eyes.

According to the classic economic model, Yiyuan Zhizao should have rushed into the eastern part of Ukraine two years ago to buy up goods, but Ji Donglai firmly opposed it.

Domestic economic bloggers and media celebrities are all leading the trend. Now almost all domestic companies that entered Ukraine have gone bankrupt, and everyone is selling their assets.

As for Ji Donglai, he resolutely avoided these places and found a retreat route in advance.

"We will continue to move forward and take more of our companies overseas. But we must stick to the bottom line. Any low-quality junk must not be exported through our channels. From now on, we will connect to the Internet and build a large channel from Horgos to Port Said." "In addition, our data center should also be approaching its peak period. The elites from Europe and China will collectively move south. You must be prepared and don't be manipulated. Many people are shameless in order to settle accounts."

Thinking about the upcoming international situation, Ji Donglai began to assign tasks to his younger brothers.

"Boss Ji, Boss Deng from Guizhou contacted us and wants to sell us synthetic paper equipment. Should we continue the discussion now?"

Then Hu Xinyu mentioned another thing, and Ji Sanchuan's mouth curled up.

"The price of scrap iron, just pretend you don't have the electronic control system. There's nothing else over there now. And as far as I know, those scraps have been taken over by the local state-owned assets. Let's talk!"

When talking about the equipment in Guizhou, Ji Donglai's eyes were full of smiles.

After all the trouble, I gave the other party so many opportunities, but the other party just didn't cherish them. Now it's 2022, and there have been no customers there for a whole year. Only a fool would care about it.

Besides, it’s too far away. Only a fool would go there to buy goods without subsidies.

In this way, Hu Xinyu transferred the business to Xin Li.

The person in charge of negotiating with Xin Li this time was Mr. Gao from last time. He thought Xin Li would be easy to talk to, but when Xin Li finished visiting all the equipment, she directly quoted a price that made the other party go crazy.

"One hundred and five hundred thousand. If you want to sell it, contact us. If you don't want to sell it, forget it!"

Xin Li walked around the equipment, more than a dozen lines, all stopped. The overall appearance of the machine was still good, but the middle roller was bulging due to a design defect, and the other party had not been able to solve the problem, and it was still the same now.

Some equipment looks new because they have not been produced since the start of production and are just decorations.

"Boss Xin, we have invested over 1 billion yuan..."

Mr. Gao wanted to say something, but Mr. Xin just waved his hand.

"It has nothing to do with us. We are just buying scraps now. President Ji has given us instructions. Since President Deng contacted us last time, we can still do something."

"If you think my offer is unreasonable, go find someone else. I'll make it clear that I won't come here a second time. The car is just going around in the mountains for more than two hours. Can't we make some money somewhere else? Why do we have to make this little money?"

"It costs a lot of money to transport these equipment out of here, and it's very laborious! And the roads here are so narrow, how can we transport them? A lot of things here are made on site, and it's too expensive to transport them up and down the hill."

"I'll rest here tonight and leave tomorrow. If we can't reach a consensus before then, don't look for us next time you want to buy equipment. We will never come here a second time. Who is so stupid as to put these projects here?"

"By the way, if we buy it, none of the equipment you see now can be missing, including the wires. If anything is missing, we will deduct money. I have video footage!"

Xin Li said this as she and her assistant walked out of the factory building. The secretary followed closely behind them and they stayed in a hotel next to the factory.

Mr. Gao is now in tears. Initially, Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing was able to offer a price of nearly 20 million, but now the person has suddenly changed and the price has dropped to the floor price, which is difficult for the other party to accept.

The other party immediately contacted their leaders, and several leaders expressed their firm opposition. After all, there were several hundred million yuan in the account, and if they sold it directly like this, they would be held accountable later.

"Boss Xin, can we still negotiate the price..."

Mr. Gao found Xin Li again. Faced with the local food, Xin Li had a hard time eating.

"No room for negotiation. If you insist, we will leave tomorrow! If it weren't for President Ji's order, I wouldn't want these junk at all. It's fine for you to keep them in your inventory as ballast. Why rush to deal with them? Who knows, maybe someone will come to restore the factory in a few years, right?"

"Find the right person and do the right thing. We don't have time to waste on this kind of thing now. Why bother yourself with it, everyone..."

Xin Li wiped her palms and put down her chopsticks. The local food was salty and spicy, and Xin Li couldn't eat it anymore. The other people were still eating, especially the local driver, who was eating very happily.

"Boss Xin, Boss Deng is friends with Boss Ji. Last time, Boss Ji gave Boss Deng a very high price..."

It really doesn't make sense. Mr. Gao is planning to play the emotional card.

"So they are friends. I would rather sacrifice my own interests to complete my friend's request. I can only give you a fair price. If you think it's okay, please find our assistant to sign a contract. I will arrange for someone to disassemble and ship the machine. If not, forget it!"

Xin Li didn't waste any time talking to the other party. Anyway, this was not the main business of her company now. They could have discussed it a few years ago.
