Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 1000 Arrangement
"Tell me what's on your mind. I'm afraid the walls had ears in the restaurant just now, so I didn't let you speak. Now you can speak."

After returning to the big boss's office, the big boss lit a cigarette, threw it to Jiang Yan, and then spoke.

"You are so wise, leader." After taking the cigarette, Jiang Yan flattered him a little and used figures to illustrate the imbalance of light and heavy industries in the Russian bear.

"According to available data, in its first five-year plan, the Soviet Union clearly stipulated that heavy industry should grow by 211% and light industry by 130%. By the end of 1932, the Soviet Union's industrial output accounted for 70%, of which heavy industry increased from 1928% in 43 to 53.3%. In terms of total industrial output, the Soviet Union has ranked second in the world."

"After the second five-year plan, this proportion rose to 57.8%. By 1937, the total industrial output had increased five times compared to 1913. There is no doubt that these actions of the Russian bear have enabled it to quickly become an industrialized power."

"However, the development of light industry has lagged behind and can no longer meet the needs of the people. Therefore, as early as 1930, the leaders of the Russian bear pointed out the need to "develop both ends", that is, to develop light industry while developing heavy industry."

"So, in the second five-year plan, the Russians deliberately increased the growth rate of light industry, but the actual result was that heavy industry exceeded its target, while light industry failed to meet its target. This situation led to the heavy industry developing more and more vigorously, while light industry could not keep up with the pace."

"However, the leaders of the Russians also noticed this situation and planned to change it. But the next accident caught them off guard - the Great Patriotic War. However, it was the powerful heavy industry of the Russians that defeated the fascists."

"But later on, they were competing with the Eagle Sauce, so the proportion of the Russian bear's heavy and light industries continued to expand, and now it has affected domestic life."

"Our country is different. Although we have developed heavy industry, we have not given up on light industry. In fact, light industry has developed better than heavy industry. This has led to a large amount of surplus."

After speaking such a long paragraph, Jiang Yan took a sip of water and continued speaking.

"Since Russia is short of light industry and we have a surplus of light industry, and the relationship between the two countries is now easing, why don't we use our light industrial products to buy their heavy industrial products?"

When the leader heard Jiang Yan say this, his eyes lit up. What Jiang Yan said was a very good idea.

"That's an idea, but we haven't done it yet." The big boss walked around in the office and then spoke.

"Boss, let's set up a foreign trade company with our company as the capital. We will first go to the Russian bear to open a channel. I will give you feedback if you need anything. What do you think?" Jiang Yan said cautiously.

"Of course, of course. Do you want to go there in person?" the leader asked

"After all, I have studied abroad in Russia and have certain connections. We should make use of them. After all, it is safer to go on the ice-breaking trip alone." Jiang Yan said.

"I guess you must have more than one purpose, but I won't ask about other things. Anyway, as long as it is beneficial to the country, don't worry, the country is in charge of everything. I will discuss it with a few leaders first." The big leader spoke.

After coming out from the big boss, Jiang Yan directly called Xu Damao and his future son-in-law Xia Tian. After seeing the two of them come in, Jiang Yan spoke.

"Da Mao, I am going to set up a new foreign trade company, and you and Xia Tian will be in charge of it."

"Boss, what kind of company is this?" Xu Damao asked.

"I just went to see the big boss and discussed with him about setting up a company specifically to trade with Russian bears. You and Xia Tian will be in charge. To be precise, the three of us will do it together." Jiang Yan thought for a moment and spoke.

Xu Damao knew Jiang Yan. As long as Jiang Yan took action, it would be a big deal, so he agreed immediately.

"Boss, what do we need to do?" "First, you need to find some Russian translators."

It is not difficult to find a Russian translator. If we go back ten years, Russian was the most widely used foreign language in China. Many old experts, scholars, and even some technicians could speak fluent Russian, and there were countless Russian translations.

"Boss, this is not difficult. I'll give you as much as you want."

"Don't worry. I have specific requirements. First of all, you must be good at Russian. It would be best if you have lived and studied in Moscow for a period of time. In addition, people have to follow me to Russia, and the time will be very long, probably more than three or four months. You need to explain this to them in advance. And they have to be prepared to endure hardships."

"I'll tell them clearly that I'll pay them on a daily basis, 100 yuan a day. If they do a good job, I'll give them a big red envelope after the work is done. If they make special contributions, they'll get bonuses."

After hearing this, Xu Damao didn't feel anything. Xia Tian, ​​who was standing next to him, took a breath of air conditioning. The salary of 100 yuan a day was also very good. After working for three or four months, he would be a millionaire. You know, a millionaire in China is quite a sensation now.

"Don't worry! Boss, given our conditions, it's easy for us to find people, but how many people do we need?"

"Recruit two people first and see what the specific situation is." Jiang Yan said.

"Also, you are quite familiar with the railway department. After our company is established, I will talk to the senior leaders and arrange a train with carriages. You will be in charge of this."

"Understood, boss."

"In the summer, you are responsible for purchasing. Buy more alcoholic beverages, especially spirits. Also, buy clothes, food and drinks. The more the better. Just purchase a trainload of cars."

Generally, a train freight car is 15.5 meters long, 2.8 meters wide, 2.8 meters high, weighs 24 tons, and has a load capacity of 60 tons. If this train has twenty cars, it can carry millions of tons of cargo.

After the information was released, someone came to apply for the job at noon, and Jiang Yan actually had room to be selective. He thought that once they heard that they were going to the Russian Bear Country, no one would be afraid to come there.

After all, it is money that moves people.

In addition, the Chinese have been the bravest people in the world since ancient times. This can be seen from the migration to Southeast Asia. The history of Chinese immigration to Southeast Asia can be traced back to the Han Dynasty. From the Han Dynasty to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, whenever the old and new regimes changed, the people who could not bear the war and the declining dignitaries would emigrate overseas.

Later, hundreds of thousands of Chinese built a large number of railways and did a lot of logistical work in Eagle Sauce and European countries during World War I.

Also, although the various chaos caused by the desire to go to developed Western countries is not glorious, it also illustrates the fact that no one can stop the Chinese from making money.

Jiang Yan finally selected two people as interpreters for this trip. In fact, this interpreter was prepared for them, because Jiang Yan knew Russian.

Next, Jiang Yan took Xia Tian to start shopping, including light industrial products for train cars, canned food, sausages, instant noodles and other easy-to-preserve foods, as well as toilet paper, various writing papers, pens, hairbands for girls, clips, skin care products and a whole host of other things.

And there is wine! This is the most important thing. Jiang Yan directly commissioned the Erguotou manufacturer to produce it. The requirements are very simple. The alcohol content must be high, at least higher than that of Laobai Gan. However, the quantity Jiang Yan wants is too large, and the winery does not have that much inventory.

However, Jiang Yan's dirty tricks began. Jiang Yan directly asked the winery to add industrial alcohol into the lowest quality wine. The only goal was to make sure that the wine would not kill people. In this way, they could barely make up the number Jiang Yan needed.
