Reborn as the richest man in India.

Chapter 57: The Indian?

"Foreigner?" Senao was a little puzzled, he didn't know any foreigners, and he had never done any business with foreigners.

"Uncle Fuda, since someone is looking for you, you should hurry over there, maybe it's a business deal?" Qiao Ge laughed.

"Ah~~Yes, maybe it's my luck?" Sen'ao laughed, "Then Jogo, I'll go first~~Why don't you go with me too?"

"I?"

"That's right, isn't there a foreigner on the other side? I think you know English, maybe you can communicate directly."

"Okay, then go and meet." Qiao Ge originally wanted to contact Zhao Rui and the others to inspect the goods, but it shouldn't take long to meet that foreigner.

"Hey, Senao, you don't seem to be in a good state of mind, are you sick?"

"I've been busy doing a big business recently, so I'm a little tired." Senao laughed.

The two quickly introduced each other.

Only then did Jogo know that the Indian in front of him was Gup Mahesh, Senao's business partner for many years.

Mahesh is mainly engaged in foreign trade, so all the cotton cloth produced by Senao is sold to him.

The foreigner he brought was Yuri Kosdor Ivanov from the Soviet Union, who belonged to the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, which would later become Russia, and looked less than thirty years old. According to Mahesh, Ivanov Vanov is his foreign business partner.

Russian names are generally divided into three parts, Yuri is the personal name, Kosdo is the father's name, and Ivanov is the surname.

In Russia, the person you are talking to is someone you are familiar with and who is older than you, and you use your first name plus your father's title to show respect, that is, Yuri Costo.

If the person you are talking to is familiar with you and is about the same age as you, you can call them by their first names or nicknames to show kindness.

Of course, this is the first time Jogo and the other party are meeting, and they are not very familiar, so they should still be called Comrade Ivanov (Mr.).

"Sen'o, I want to talk to you privately about business." Mahesh glanced at Jogo and said to Sen'o.

"This is my nephew, my own. If you have anything to say, just say it." Of course Senao trusts Jogo, and he will give himself the benefit of 50 yuan, so there is nothing to worry about.

Besides, he didn't think there was anything wrong with Mahesh's words for Jogo to know, and Jogo definitely didn't like his own business.

Sen'ao was relieved, but Mahesh was obviously still a little hesitant, silent, thinking about whether he could say it in front of Jogo.

But Ivanov beside Mahesh couldn't help but said in Hindi: "Didn't you say that he is a friend you can trust? What else is there to say?"

Jogo looked at Ivanov in surprise, knowing that Sen'o and Mahesh were speaking in Marathi just now.

Seeing Jogo looking at him, Ivanov smiled at him and said: "I can understand Marathi, but I don't know how to speak it. I have studied at Delhi University and stayed in India for many years. An Indian hand."

"No wonder your Hindi is so standard." Jogo laughed.

"Of course Sen'o can be trusted." Mahesh took a deep breath and said, "Okay, Sen'o, if you don't agree to this matter, please don't spread it."

Senao shook his head and agreed.

Djogo was listening to Mahesh's words, and the more he listened, the more surprised he became.

Smuggling.

Although Mahesh's trading company also did legitimate business, when they traded with Ivanov, they were smuggling.

He smuggled goods such as cotton cloth to the high seas, and then traded them to Ivanov, who gave dollars directly.

The foreign trade of the Soviet Union was monopolized by the Ministry of Foreign Trade, and the republics or factories were not allowed to trade alone, let alone private individuals.

Ivanov bought the goods privately and sold them in the Soviet Union, so he could only do it secretly.

Mahesh has worked for so many years and made a lot of money. He is ready to wash his hands and retire.

But Ivanov still wanted to continue, so Mahesh had to agree to help him find another one.

So Mahesh thought of Sen'ao. For such a thing, he must first find someone he trusts, otherwise it will be bad if the news spreads.

Of course, he must have cleared the tail, the smuggled funds have already been laundered, but if the news is really leaked, it will always bring a lot of trouble.

Senao's first reaction was to refuse. He is a serious businessman, and besides, he has never done foreign trade.

Jogo was thinking a lot.

The Soviet Union was a big topic in previous lives, and such a behemoth collapsed suddenly.

Of course, whether the Soviet Union collapsed or not has nothing to do with him. There is only one thing in his mind, and there is also the word "Dao Ye", that is Dao Ye.

After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, there were a lot of reports on the news in the previous life that Chinese losers went to Russia to make a fortune, so it should not be too easy to make money.

Pork was exchanged for tanks, hot water bottles were exchanged for motorcycles, and Boss Mou became the richest man by exchanging canned food for airplanes, which is simply a legend.

Jogo can't help but wonder if the same applies to India.

Although it is 1986 and the Soviet Union has not yet disintegrated, Jogo knows that the Soviet Union's economy is starting to go wrong.

Mainly since the 80s, international prices of oil and natural gas plummeted, and the Soviet Union mainly exported these resources in exchange for foreign exchange such as US dollars. When prices fell, foreign exchange income decreased.

If the Soviet Union and the United States and other European and American countries trade, they can only use foreign currencies such as US dollars, and they do not recognize rubles.

The decrease in foreign exchange income had a great impact on the supply of many goods in the Soviet Union.

Coupled with the fact that it is now mired in the quagmire of the war in Afghanistan, the Soviet economy has become even worse.

The heavy industry in the Soviet Union was extremely developed, and the light industry was another extreme.

Therefore, what the Soviet Union lacked were daily necessities, such as clothes, soap, and even toilet paper, which were in short supply.

It is certainly not as miserable as it was when it was disintegrated, but these daily necessities have begun to show signs of shortage.

Therefore, if these daily necessities can be sold to the Soviet Union, it goes without saying that the profits will be made.

It's obviously not that easy to be a bad guy in India.

Compared with those traitors in China in his previous life, the most important thing facing Jogo is two difficulties.

First, geographic location.

China and Russia share a border and can carry goods by train.

Let alone India and Russia, even those republics that have no borders, usually by sea, which takes a long time. If it is fast, it will take a month, and if it is slow, it may take more than 40 days.

Second, the time is wrong.

When China was prosperous, the Soviet Union had already disintegrated, and it was normal trade for them to go to Russia.

Now the import and export of the Soviet Union is controlled, and this kind of private transaction is not allowed and is illegal.

In this way, the risk is very high.

"Gap, I don't think I can do it." Sen'o sighed.

"Uncle Fuda, I have something to tell you." Jogo immediately tugged on Senao's sleeve and said in a low voice.

"Two, please wait a moment." Senao apologized to the two.

Sen'ao followed Jogo out of the room and walked far away.

"Jogo, what do you want to say?"

"Uncle Fuda, how about the Mahesh people, are they really trustworthy?" Jogo asked.

"Of course, I have been doing business with Gup for more than ten years, and there has never been a single problem, and the payment has never been in arrears." Sen'ao paused at this point, and his face suddenly changed, "Jogo, you don't think so. What do you think about what he said?"

"Yes, I have this idea." Jogo shook his head.
