Rebirth: the fiery age of Mori Gong's children

Chapter 533 Big Toy

Zhou Qinglan and Sheng Xiping stayed in the provincial capital for a few days. After the meeting, Zhou Qinglan returned to Songjianghe, and Sheng Xiping drove straight to Bingcheng.

When choosing the location of the branch factory, Zhou Mingyuan and Sheng Xiping considered many factors and finally settled on the Tieli Forestry Bureau in Yichun.

The main reason is that it is not too far from Bingcheng and the transportation is more convenient than Heihe.

Heihe has already taken advantage of the border trade, and it is impossible for the superiors to give Heihe another good opportunity to invest in and build a factory.

On October 14th, the branch held a groundbreaking ceremony.

Many cadres from the province and Yichun locals came to support him. The forestry bureaus of Heilongjiang Province also arranged for people to come over. Wu Yucheng even rushed from Shencheng.

The groundbreaking ceremony was grand and solemn, and Sheng Xiping also took advantage of this to get closer to the leaders of various forestry bureaus.

For the construction of the branch factory, Sheng Xiping found the best engineering and construction company in Bingcheng.

Thanks to the Sino-Soviet trade, a large number of construction machinery has entered the country, and construction is now much faster than before.

The Yu brothers are calm and conscientious in their work, and now they have experienced it, so Sheng Xiping has nothing to worry about.

By the time the banquet was over, everyone was drunk. Sheng Xiping and Wu Yucheng supported each other and finally went upstairs to their room to rest.

"Sheng, Wu, cheers to our friendship."

You know, the Su-27 only entered service in . Can it be sold now?

"Long time no see, my friends." Sheng Xiping and Wu Yucheng also returned the warm embrace.

Sheng Xiping knew as soon as he heard this that this guy had gotten something good again.

Various machinery is on the construction site, working day and night, trying to erect the main body of the workshop before freezing.

When Wu Bingzhong heard this, he almost jumped up with excitement, "I will report to the superiors right away. You guys wait over there."

A few days later, there was a reply from Alexander, inviting Sheng Xiping and others to go to Chita for a small gathering.

While everyone was drinking, they talked about the next direction of cooperation.

It was densely written in Russian and had serial numbers. Sheng Xiping couldn't understand it, so he threw it directly to the translator.

Coke is of course no problem. Sheng Xiping has already made an arrangement with Guo Shouye to produce as much as he wants, and the storage will not delay things.

The first time he returned to the Manzhouli company office, Sheng Xiping quickly took out the paper and looked at it.

The superiors held an emergency meeting to study all night, and finally decided to mobilize all available foreign exchange. No matter what the conditions, this batch of goods must be obtained.

Fighters and main battle tanks, how could Sheng Xiping dare to handle these things casually? We need to find someone from the military.

Alexander didn't even look at the purchase catalog. He waved his hand and agreed directly.

"Yu Cheng, hurry up, call your uncle quickly, we can't make the decision on this matter."

He only told Sheng Xiping to prepare goods and beautiful knives, especially the Coca-Cola, which he wanted to buy in large quantities this time.

At the branch factory, Sheng Xiping arranged for many veterans who had just been recruited this year, and also transferred brothers Yu Haibin and Yu Haiyang.

"Holy shit, is Alexander crazy? Are you willing to sell anything?" Sheng Xiping and Wu Yucheng were shocked when they heard this.

Alexander co-founded a trading company here and also purchased real estate.

In this way, the two parties easily concluded a business deal, and then they celebrated with ease over a drink.

So after laying the foundation, Sheng Xiping and Wu Yucheng returned to Ice City and tried to find a way to contact Alexander and Ivanov.

Wu Bingzhong hung up the phone and immediately reported to his superiors. This time, he directly alerted the highest level.

A distinctive Russian-style building, beautifully decorated and with servants inside, it is clearly an aristocratic style.

When the translator took a look at it, he was shocked.

Sheng Xiping and others were settled in the room upstairs. In the evening, Alexander held a small banquet to entertain guests from afar.

"Sheng, Wu, long time no see, friends." When Alexander and the others saw Sheng Xiping and the others, they came forward to hug and say hello very enthusiastically.

Sheng Xiping and the others stayed in Chita for three days, and Alexander took them around.

So Sheng Xiping, Wu Yucheng and others completed the exit procedures, took a bus to Manzhouli, and then crossed the border to Zabaikalsk, a small town on the border.

"Mr. Sheng, what is written here is the model and price of the Su-27, as well as the MiG series fighter jets and T80 series main battle tanks."

The staff on the Heihe side take shifts and take vacations, go home to visit their relatives, and then return to Bingcheng or Manzhouli to continue working.

Alexander and the others raised their glasses again and again, finding various reasons to toast.

Sheng Xiping was entrusted by others to purchase another batch of machine tools, this time with more comprehensive models.

"Sheng, I think you may be interested in what is written here. If necessary, you can contact me and we can discuss everything."

Wu Yucheng also understood the importance of the matter, so he quickly called the capital.

Since it is a banquet, food and wine are indispensable. Most men are good at drinking. How can we skip drinking on such an occasion?

So he carefully put the piece of paper into his coat pocket, and then gave Alexander a hug. "We look forward to cooperation."

Alexander and Ivanov arranged for people to wait in the town and sent Sheng Xiping and his party to Chita City.

Before leaving, Alexander stuffed a piece of paper into Sheng Xiping's pocket.

It was already the end of October, and the upper reaches of the Longjiang River began to freeze and seal the river, and ice flocculation also began to run in the middle and lower reaches. The river surface was not suitable for boating, so the Heihe River border trade was suspended.

Two days later, Wu Bingzhong, Mr. Yang, and a leader rushed to Manzhouli with about ten people and met Sheng Xiping and Wu Yucheng.

"Xiping, have you really found a toy for grandpa?" Mr. Yang asked Sheng Xiping with a smile as soon as they met.

"Grandpa, the toy you want is incredible. It's very expensive." Sheng Xiping touched his nose and said with a wry smile.

There was a quotation on the piece of paper. Sheng Xiping read it carefully and found that nothing was cheap.

This was after Alexander had given a considerable discount. Otherwise, just one Su-27 would cost a lot of money.

"You naughty kid, is this a question of dignity? This is a rare opportunity.

If it can be done this time, we will have military industry experts lead a team to study and improve it. Do you know how much it can improve the combat effectiveness of our army? "

Mr. Yang glared at Sheng Xiping, then smiled again.

There was no way, from the day he learned the news, the old man couldn't hold back his lips, and he was happy from morning till night.

Sheng Xiping was right when he thought about it, that is, in this turbulent period of Maozi, a few years ago, no matter how high or low you were, no one would care about you no matter how much you paid.

"Okay, here's the list. Leaders, please go and study it yourself. Once you've done your research, let me know and I'll contact them."

The matter was so important that Sheng Xiping didn't want to get involved too much.

At best, he is just a second-rate dealer, the kind who doesn't make a penny. If he mixes too much, he will easily lose money.

How could Mr. Yang and others ask Sheng Xiping to leave, so they sat him down and discussed together. Everything on that list seems to be rare and everyone wants it all.

But the prices of these things are too high, and my budget is limited, so I can only buy the best ones.

After picking and choosing what he wanted to buy, Sheng Xiping stretched his head and took a look, good guy, fifteen million US dollars.

"Uncle, how much foreign exchange did you apply for this time?" Sheng Xiping looked at the price and felt uncertain.

The last time I went back to the machine tool, I applied for one million US dollars, and it was Sheng Xiping who helped me buy it.

This time, I guess I won’t be able to get much, right?

The key is that Sheng Xiping doesn't have many beautiful swords in his hands.

At the beginning of the spring, I spent a lot of money to buy machine tools. The Fusong branch spent some money on purchasing machines, and a batch of machine tools will be purchased soon. The quantity and model are larger than those in the spring.

All these things require dollars, and no matter how much money the company can make, it can't help but spend so much.

"I applied for five million this time." Wu Yucheng looked at the list and said with some guilt.

"Xiping, I need your help in this matter to push the price down.

Furthermore, can we pay in batches? All the foreign exchange that can be mobilized has been mobilized, and the relevant departments are trying to raise the rest. "

Hearing this, Sheng Xiping could only sigh heavily, "Uncle, I'll try my best. As you know, the price is almost as good as picking it up for free.

Not to mention anything else, just a Su-27 may not be affordable for US$ million. "

Maozi's prodigal sons are just bastards who don't feel bad about selling their land. They can sneak out anything.

"Okay, okay, I'll leave everything to you. If this happens, you will definitely be credited with a great contribution." Wu Bingzhong was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly.

"It's a small matter of remembering merit. Uncle, just remember to allocate more veterans to me."

The country is also a home, and we have to handle our own affairs no matter how difficult they are.

After the discussion was completed, Sheng Xiping immediately thought of a way to send a message to Alexander and others, inviting them to come over for discussion.

On November 13, Alexander, Victor, and Ivanov crossed the border with others to discuss matters in Manchuria.

When the two parties met, they didn't make any detours and went straight to the point.

Sheng Xiping handed over the list and bargained with Alexander and the others.

After all, they are all partners, and Alexander must give Sheng Xi some face.

When he handed the piece of paper to Sheng Xiping, he said that everything was easy to talk about, so he took the initiative to lower the price by two million.

Even lowering the price by two million wouldn't work. The difference was still too much, so Sheng Xiping kept grinding down.

In fact, both parties also understand that on this list, new fighters and main battle tanks are the focus, and the others can be used as supplements.

After some bargaining, the two parties finally came up with a price of 11 million U.S. dollars.

Alexander has a condition. This transaction must be all American knives and cannot be exchanged for goods.

Sheng Xiping knew very well that in this business, Alexander was the same as him. They were all doing things for the people above, running errands and talking.

Therefore, Sheng Xiping did not embarrass Alexander and agreed directly.

Since the items I want this time are too sensitive, I definitely cannot go through customs.

Therefore, regarding the transportation method, both parties agreed that after the Longjiang River was completely frozen, they would find a secluded place, and both sides would withdraw their border patrol personnel and trade at night.

Longjiang is completely frozen, and it must be mid to late December anyway. There is still more than a month left, so we can raise as much foreign exchange as possible.

If this is not possible, then it will be possible to remit most of the cash and a small amount to an overseas bank.

After the two sides reached an agreement, Alexander and others did not stay long and immediately returned to Zebelgask.

They have to go back to prepare the goods and clear some joints in advance to avoid mistakes in the transaction.

Here, Mr. Yang and others were very happy when they learned that the final price was US$11 million.

"Xiping, you are a good boy. Grandpa thinks highly of you." Mr. Yang happily patted Sheng Xiping on the shoulder and said with a loving smile.

"Grandpa, I bought you a toy this time. You have a lot of fun playing with it." Sheng Xiping and Mr. Yang didn't show up and said this deliberately.

When everyone heard this, they all laughed.

The deal was settled, and the goods could only be delivered on a certain date. There was nothing else to do here, so Sheng Xiping and others returned to Ice City with Yang Lao and his friends.

After spending two days in Ice City, we flew back to the capital together.

After Sheng Xiping arrived in the capital, he first went to the shopping mall to check the construction progress, and then had a long discussion with the person in charge of the shopping mall project.

At present, the main body of the shopping mall has been completed, and only the interior decoration is still unfinished. According to this progress, it will almost be able to open before the year.

When he first applied for the shopping mall project, Sheng Xiping proposed one thing: the shopping mall needs to introduce a large number of well-known foreign brand merchants to build the first super shopping mall in China.

With the help of Mr. Yang and the Wu family, this proposal was finally passed. All merchants entering the mall can simplify the approval process and go through various procedures.

Therefore, when the shopping mall building was about to be topped out, Sheng Xiping called the staff in Hong Kong City.

Ask them to send emails to major foreign merchants and introduce them to them about the planning and purpose of the mall.

This mall can be said to be the first comprehensive super mall in China that integrates shopping, leisure and entertainment.

After receiving the email, many foreign businessmen were very interested and sent people to contact the project department.

After Sheng Xiping and others held a meeting to study, they decided that the mall is scheduled to open on January 24, which is the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Therefore, the shopping mall project department immediately contacted the previous merchants and invited them to come to the capital to participate in the shopping mall's investment meeting to discuss cooperation on December 2nd.

The five-story shopping mall has two floors reserved for foreign merchants, one floor for domestic manufacturers, one floor for catering and entertainment projects, and one floor for supermarkets and furniture and home appliances.

The investment promotion meeting was held in a good hotel in the capital. Hundreds of businesses, including well-known foreign brands, came to participate in this investment promotion.

People from the mall operations department introduced the mall planning, investment guidelines, related fee collection, procedures and other aspects to everyone at the meeting.

At the same time, there are also dedicated people who review merchant qualifications to ensure that cooperation is honest and effective.

All merchants who settle in will draw lots to determine the location of their stores according to the floors that have been divided in advance.

Then sign a settlement contract and pay various fees such as security deposit and rent.

Over there, the industrial and commercial administration departments are working on-site.

Anyone who has signed a contract can fill in the form and submit the information, and within five working days, they can receive the business license, tax registration certificate, health license and other relevant procedures.

Next, merchants can decorate the store according to their own needs, recruit clerks, prepare goods and other matters.

As the first large-scale comprehensive shopping mall in China, in fact, no one has much management experience, and everything is being done by trial and error.
