Return to the exciting era of 1999

Chapter 2227 Absolute Strength Achieves Cooperation
Just as Ji Donglai was constantly trying out new technologies and processes, Lu Jinqiu also met the person he wanted to meet in St. Petersburg. His straight suit, white shirt, red tie, deep eye sockets, and eagle-like eyes all indicated his other party's position.

"Mr. Lu, we are very interested in your settlement method, but we cannot devote all of ourselves to your blockchain. This method means that our settlement is completely dependent on your accounting method."

"So if you want to impress us, you need to give us a recognized, effective, and feasible payment method now, so that we can all be happier."

"We are currently lacking the necessary foreign exchange. Whoever can help us achieve this is our best partner. Before you came here, some Asians also came to us and tried to make the offer more favorable than yours, but we did not adopt it because we felt it was not suitable for us. You know what I mean."

As the representative of the Settlement Finance Minister, the other party's words were condescending.

So many developing countries in the world need oil and natural gas. Russia is eager to export and these countries are eager to import. Therefore, there is a need for an intermediate settlement institution that is strong and stable enough.

Many people are doing Lu Jinqiu's blockchain settlement, which has caused a lot of controversy in China, but it is still a new practice in the international settlement system.

Although Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing has already had a sufficient share in the entire Central Asia, it does not mean that it has reached the pinnacle in the world.

Everyone wants to cooperate with capable partners rather than people with low presence.

"Boss Lu..."

Just when the negotiations between the two reached a deadlock, the assistant approached Lu Jinqiu, said something in Lu Jinqiu's ear, and then handed the smartphone to Lu Jinqiu.

Lu Jinqiu showed no change on the surface, but he was extremely excited. He flipped through a few pictures and then put his phone on the table.

"Mr. Secretary General, what if we use this to settle the bill?"

"This is……"

Looking at Lu Jinqiu's cell phone, the Secretary-General narrowed his eyes and quickly took the phone.

Above are some of the cryptocurrencies that are skyrocketing in the world. These digital currencies not only have currency attributes, but also have investment attributes. Their financial significance is greater than anywhere else.

"To tell you the truth, Mr. Ji has reached a cooperation agreement with a mining owner. We are responsible for all the hardware and mining operations. Strictly speaking, we have a lot of this cryptocurrency in our hands."

“So as long as you and the client reach an agreement, we can act as the most appropriate intermediary between the two of you. In this way, neither of us will violate the law, and you can choose to keep your cryptocurrency in our hands or invest it in other places in the world!”

"I think our counterparts do not have the same dual settlement qualifications or even multiple settlement qualifications as us. As long as this part of the transaction is completed, I think your country will no longer worry about this restriction."

"Let me tell you one more thing. Yiyuan Medical has an absolute controlling stake in the YD Group in India. As long as your customers are willing to buy YD's drugs, we can turn the funds into blockchain settlement. My partners are not qualified for this. What do you think?"

For a long time, India has been purchasing Russian oil and gas in rupees in a very rogue manner.

In order to sell its oil, Russia has no choice but to accept these payment methods against its will.

Lu Jinqiu's words provided the secretary-general in front of him with multiple pieces of information. Not only would the other party be able to adopt Yiyuan Zhizao's blockchain and cryptocurrency in the future, but even the rupees in his hands now could be converted into foreign currency for the YD Group, and then he could get what he needed.

"Mr. Lu, you are a very worthy partner, and I think the Kremlin will agree. I will bring your list to the Duma, and we will give you the results tomorrow!"

The Secretary-General took the list of companies to be acquired provided by Lu Jinqiu with a bright smile on his face.

Since hundreds of billions of dollars of Russian assets have been frozen in Europe, Russia has also taken corresponding countermeasures and confiscated the assets of some large European companies in Russia.

Some of these are automobile manufacturers, energy refineries, and light industrial product processing plants...

These assets can be obtained at almost bargain prices now. The most important thing is that the other party needs to open a hole in the Internet to allow goods from China to enter.

The reply came much faster than Lukinchu had imagined. In the afternoon, Lukinchu met with the Secretary-General at the Uzbek Embassy in St. Petersburg, and this time the other party brought a detailed contract.

Except for some factories involved in OEM military products, all the other parties agreed to Lu Jinqiu's acquisition, and the means of payment were cryptocurrency and goods from China.

"Phew, it's finally done. We've been waiting for nearly ten years... Mr. Hu, please do your best to distribute the products quickly. Our compatriots are very fast! In addition, we need to produce automobile products as soon as possible. Russia has opened up its market, and the five Central Asian countries will also fully open up their markets. This is our best opportunity."

The younger brothers all follow the big brother's operations. Since 2005, Ji Donglai has been waiting to open up the Russian market, but it has never been allowed.

You should know that the GDP of Moscow alone is equal to half of the GDP of the five Central Asian countries! This time, Ji Donglai finally completed this mission with his years of accumulation. This is a big deal not only for Yiyuan Zhizao, but also for all Chinese merchants.

"Got it, Mr. Ji, have you calculated everything? I now doubt that you can predict the future!"

Holding the phone, Hu Xinyu looked at Ji Donglai with admiration in her eyes.

I thought that if I gave up the European business, my income would decrease. After all, Lu Jinqiu is getting a big piece of the pie now.

Duwanglian has always been in Hu Xinyu's hands. She didn't expect happiness to come so quickly. This export will allow Hu Xinyu's income to reach a new high in the first place.

"Just think so, don't spread it around. What if I'm misunderstood?"

Ji Donglai tapped Hu Xinyu through the screen and waved his hand.

The next things will be done by this group of people. Neither Hu Xinyu nor Lu Jinqiu can slack off at all. The team members going to Russia will use Zhang Yu's original team as the framework, and then some will be gathered from Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing's Central Asia headquarters, and the vast majority will be drawn from Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing's headquarters.

In addition, most of the personnel will be hired locally in Russia, and this time Sun Zhengfa also went north to Moscow.

"I want to open a one-dollar supermarket in Moscow and let them see what Chinese standards are!"

Sun Zhengfa wiped his nose, his eyes full of desire.

A large supermarket in Europe was confiscated due to shareholder relations, and Lu Jinqiu also took it over. This time, Sun Zhengfa brought a large team with him. The other party’s ranch staff alone occupied half of the plane, and the rest of the personnel were the rest of the staff of Yiyuan Zhizao.

"Boss Sun, are you too impatient? Boss Lu just took it down, and our people are in charge of that place. Why are you so anxious? You still have a cold now, how about recuperating at home for a few days?"

Faced with Sun Zhengfa constantly wiping his nose, the other staff members tried to persuade him in various ways.

"No, many of them don't have experience in Central Asia and Europe. You know where I started from. President Ji sent me to the desert pastures in Central Asia. I started from a handful of sand there."

"The market in Russia is different from that place, but the culture is similar. I have to see it with my own eyes. I also have some friends there. It would be difficult for us to expand without the help of local people."

"Young people, don't think that our lives are easy. The high-tech you make is what the world needs, but the food and drink we make are the basics for ordinary people. Food represents the absolute culture of a country, not your high-tech. Learn it..."

Sun Zhengfa is now in charge of Yiyuan Ranch, and he has a certain stake in Yiyuan Supermarket, and he has been taking care of both.

Ji Donglai has absolute trust in Sun Zhengfa. From the starting point to the end, Sun Zhengfa has fully demonstrated his ability. The current One Yuan Supermarket is much more well-known in China than Walmart and Carrefour, and is also among the top two among national brands.

According to the plan sent by Sun Zhengfa to Ji Donglai, half of the products going to Moscow were produced in Russia, another quarter came from the desert pastures in Central Asia, and a part came from China.

Food is the most important thing for people, this is an absolute in Chinese culture.

"Boss Sun, you guys are so desperate that you went to Europe with a runny nose. Boss Lu, you guys should pay more attention over there. We can't fail before we die. We absolutely can't do that!"

Thinking of Sun Zhengfa's desperate look, Ji Donglai felt helpless.

From the time he was discovered by Ji Donglai until now, Sun Zhengfa has truly practiced the concept of "a gentleman will die for his friend" and has remained consistent over the years. Even though Ji Donglai has given him independent space and business, he has never given up on repaying Ji Donglai.

"Okay, I'll definitely pay attention. Mr. Ji, are some of the smuggled drugs from the YD Group also heading to Russia? The local people are in urgent need of these drugs now!"

"The sanctions are far more severe than you think. They are all-round sanctions with no humanitarian spirit at all. The locals are still abiding by some international laws, and the people are having a really hard time..."

While speaking, Lu Jinqiu sent Ji Donglai a few photos taken locally. Ordinary people on the streets were selling their daily necessities, and there were even some World War II veterans selling medals.

Some old ladies also huddled in the street corners, wrapped in old clothes, waiting for someone to buy the old items in their homes.

During the mask-wearing period, some elderly people died while squatting on street corners waiting for buyers. By the time the police found them, their bodies were already completely cold, with no possibility of rescue.
