Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 1011 Prepare Again
When Xu Damao and Xia Tian heard Jiang Yan's words, they took a deep breath and looked at him in disbelief.

Ten train cars of supplies, one train car is 60 tons, and ten train cars are 600 tons of goods.

"Boss, isn't this business a bit too big? How about reducing it a bit? Don't spread it so wide. Don't always say that taking big steps can easily lead to setbacks," Xu Damao asked awkwardly.

Xu Damao had been following the cargo all the way before, and he knew the price of a carload of cargo. Moreover, this time they brought two cars of supplies, strictly speaking. Overall, if one carload of cargo costs three million yuan, then ten cars of cargo would be worth thirty million yuan. With this amount of money, leaving aside other things, there are basically few companies in China that can afford it.

And calculated according to the selling price, it is even more amazing, almost 20 million rubles. Even if converted according to the black market exchange rate, it is 160 million Chinese yuan. The impact of this is quite huge.

"You've seen the situation here. According to the agreement we signed with them, we will only have five train cars of these materials, which is only more than 300 tons. Have you ever calculated how long it will take to sell them? You also know how big Moscow is. This amount of stuff is far from satisfying our appetite. It can be said that it can't even cause any waves. Moreover, the country has given us the biggest discount. These ten train cars are worth at most more than 10 million yuan, and only 40 or 50 million yuan after they are sold. If you count the freight, as well as the red envelopes and benefits given to others, we actually only get about 30 million yuan. The bold ones will die and the timid ones will die." Jiang Yan said calmly.

After hearing what Jiang Yan said, everyone was stunned. How could the amount be different from what they calculated, and it shrunk several times in an instant?

"Boss, how did you calculate it? After today's calculations, our train car with three million worth of goods should have 1.5 to 60 million rubles if we sell them all. For these ten train cars, shouldn't the money be 30 million, or 15 to 16 million rubles in revenue?" Xu Damao said in surprise.

"You can't count it that way. Many of our goods are clothes and other things, which don't sell well."

Although the amount of clothes and other items in Jiang Yan's trainload of goods was not large, they accounted for nearly one-third of the payment. In other words, out of the three million yuan in payment, about one hundred of them were these things.

Originally, Jiang Yan thought that the entire Mao Xiong was at a relatively low latitude, and the winter was quite cold. He still felt scared when he thought about the weather in Moscow during those years. He felt that these things should be out of stock, but unexpectedly, these things, it can't be said that no one is interested in them! However, compared with other goods, the sales are quite unsatisfactory.

The idea is good, but Jiang Yan just ignored the current situation. The darkness before dawn is the darkest. This is the situation of the Russian bears now. Now their people have to make a choice between being well fed and well clothed.

But it is obvious that most people now choose to eat until they are full. In fact, to put it bluntly, it should be so. If you don’t have clothes, you will be cold at most, or you will stay at home. But being hungry is a matter of life and death. You can’t just eat whatever you can get! After all, you don’t have a stomach of steel.

So the best-selling products are some food, canned food, sausages, flour and the like. Then there are some daily necessities and school supplies like toilet paper, pens, notebooks, and clothes, which are basically unsalable products. Because Jiang Yan knows very well that the situation of the bear will only get worse and worse, and people will have to work harder to fill their stomachs. To put it simply, after the disintegration, the ruble will depreciate exponentially on a large scale.

In 1991, the bear market collapsed and was divided into more than 10 countries of all sizes. At the same time, 100 US dollars could be exchanged for more than 17000 rubles. After half a lifetime of hard work, the middle-class families of the bear market have accumulated hundreds of thousands of rubles. According to the standards of the time, this financial strength was already very good. If you have to compare, you can think of the class of people in my country's first- and second-tier cities who own several houses and millions of cash. But after the collapse of the bear market and the continued financial turmoil, the hundreds of thousands of rubles accumulated with great effort may only be equivalent to less than 200 US dollars. The wealth of one's lifelong hard work has vanished in an instant.

Why is it that Russia is always trying to pit India? This is what happened at this time. However, India is asking for trouble. As early as the 50s, Russia provided India with various assistance, including various industrial infrastructure equipment, without adding any political conditions. It treated India with all its heart. Of course, this kind of kindness is not given for nothing. On the one hand, Russia wants to gain India's support in many international affairs. Once India supports it, a large number of third world countries will support it. On the other hand, Russia has always wanted to find an outlet in warm waters, from the Middle East to China, and India is the only one that is easy to talk to.

In 1980, Russia gave India a loan of 16.3 billion US dollars. The 80 billion US dollars in the 16.3s was much more valuable than it is now. Although different statistical methods have reached different conclusions, it is enough to buy dozens of advanced fighter jets today. In 1985, Russia was even more generous and directly gave India 51 billion US dollars. At that time, Russia's own situation was not optimistic. This 51 billion US dollars can be said to be a huge sum of money given to India.

Throughout the history of aid, the Russians really have nothing to say about India. Although the Russians have their own purposes, they are really good to India. Later, the Russians collapsed and the ruble depreciated significantly. At this time, the smart Indians came. They were the first country to repay the loans during the Russian period. They seemed very kind, right? At that time, the Russian economy was very difficult. If India had repaid the money as it was, it might have saved many of Russia's military-industrial enterprises. However, India really used worthless rubles to repay the money. The real value has shrunk significantly. With the reputation of being the first to repay the money, he did something that would kill Russia. Because of this incident, Russia completely remembered India.

These two examples show that the entire Russian bear will have a hard time in the coming period, especially due to the lack of supplies.

"But if we purchase from Bingcheng, the price of the goods will be 20 to 30 percent more expensive than from Sijiu City." Xu Damao said.

All the prices are basically in Xu Damao's mind, so he can calculate them immediately.

"It's okay if it's a little expensive! Time is the most important thing now. We can get everything by making a few more trips." Jiang Yan said.

"Also, remember this saying: greed is the enemy of mankind. Excess is as bad as failure. Do the math. With over 10 million worth of goods, we can make 20-30 million per trip. The profit margin is already over 200%. That's how much profit we make from our business, so we should be content. Another thing is that although reselling is the easiest way to make money, industry is the key to a country's prosperity. I'm reselling part of the business to make some quick money, and the other part is to sell some surplus houses for the country, so I won't be able to do this for a few years. You should be prepared."

In order to prevent them from falling into traps later on, and also to unify their thoughts, Jiang Yan said so much today. Of course, it is impossible to tell them Jiang Yan’s ultimate goal.
