Reborn as the richest man in India.

Chapter 58
Qiao Ge came up with the idea of ​​being a loser, not on a whim, but just now desperately scraping away the memories of his previous life, thinking that although this matter is risky, the profit is very considerable.

How can a business with fast money come without risk?

As long as the risk is controllable, Qiao Ge thinks it can still be done.

Because what I sell here are some daily necessities, such as cotton cloth, these prices will not be too high, and the amount of the first transaction will not be too large, even if he is cheated, he can still afford it with his current funds.

The situation in the Soviet Union is a bit special. Domestic commodity prices are actually a dual-track system. How to put it, it is actually similar to the time when China used food stamps.

The prices of various commodities were very problematic in the Soviet Union. Some commodities were sold far below the cost, but the Soviet Union had a planned economy and was a state-owned enterprise, so they had to produce even at a loss.

Therefore, some people in the Soviet Union saw business opportunities, and they secretly smuggled these products abroad, and the price increased several times and dozens of times.

After all, within the Soviet Union, these commodities could not reflect the real price.

These commodities are what Jogo is aiming at.

The industrial products in the Soviet Union are well developed, and they are very cheap in China, but if they go to India, the price will increase many times.

Of course Sen'ao is against it, and he doesn't want Jogo to participate, he thinks the risk is too great.

However, Jogo still persuaded Senao, and Senao reluctantly agreed to let Jogo talk to the other party.

After returning, Sen'o told Mahesh Jogo that he was interested, he was a little surprised at first, this is still a teenager.

But when they knew that Qiao Ge was the hot boy in the news recently, they calmed down a lot.

At least they know that Jogo does have a sum of money in his hands, then there is no problem.

"What? There are no dollars, and you still ship first?" Senao couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard Mahesh's words.

If the object is Mahesh, Sen'ao will not hesitate. After so many years of friendship, he is trustworthy.

But now these things are to be given to the Soviets, even if Mahesh introduced them, he would find it difficult to agree.

Jogo thought for a moment.

Just now Ivanov mentioned some of the commodities he needs. In fact, there are no specific commodities, such as clothes, cotton cloth, food, soap and so on.

Jogo knew that these were in short supply in the Soviet Union, so it was not surprising that Ivanov imported them.

Because he shipped these goods back, it was also a huge profit.

"Mr. Ivanov, I don't need dollars." Jogo said.

"Oh? Do you want rupees?" Ivanov was stunned for a moment and said, "I'm really ashamed. I bought a large amount of goods a while ago, and almost all the US dollars in my hand have been used up. Recently, domestic supervision on foreign exchange has been strengthened. It is difficult to And then exchange it to US dollars, so there is not much to say in rupees. Please also believe that Mr. Mahesh and I have a good reputation in business for many years, and I will definitely make up the payment afterwards, which can be calculated as interest."

Jogo smiled.

Now that he was ready to do business with the other party, Jogo still believed in them.

The worst plan is to be cheated of this sum of goods. In terms of the total price of the goods, Qiao Ge must control it. The amount should not be too large, after all, it is the first time.

It should be true that the Soviet Union increased its supervision of foreign exchange. The price of energy exports plummeted and foreign exchange income decreased, so it could only be saved in other ways.

"No, I want to exchange goods for goods." Jogo replied.

This made Ivanov a little surprised.

"I don't think this should be a problem. Mr. Ivanov, if you can transport the goods back, there must be a way to get the goods from your country. Wouldn't it be better for everyone to exchange goods at sea?" Qiaogo continued. .

If he is capable of this job, Jogo can be sure that Ivanov is quite capable, and he should have a deep government relationship and background in the Soviet Union.

Compared with directly denominating in U.S. dollars, Jogo feels that this can make him more profitable.

After all, the industrial products in the Soviet Union were cheap, but in India the price was several times or even dozens of times higher. If you really traded in US dollars, you could do legitimate foreign trade. Why would you take this risk to do business with him?
"That's a way." Mahesh laughed from the side.

To be honest, he was still a little embarrassed when he suggested that Qiao Ge should supply the goods first.

I feel a bit in the pit of Senao.

Although he believed in Ivanov, Qiaogo and Ivanov were separated by a layer after all, and the relationship was different.

So when Qiao Ge proposed this idea, he agreed very much. It would be more fair for both parties, and no one would suffer.

"So what do you want in exchange?" Ivanov asked.

"Of course they are lacking in India, such as watches, bicycles, motorcycles, cameras, televisions, etc." Jogo laughed, "Oh, no color TVs, black and white ones are fine."

Hearing Jogo's words, Ivanov's eyes flickered slightly.

"Boss Gupta, you seem to know a lot about the Soviet Union?" Ivanov asked.

"I don't really understand. The relationship between India and the Soviet Union is so good, so I paid more attention to it." Jogo replied.

The relationship between the Soviet Union and India was indeed very good. It can be said that India's industry was basically established with the support of the Soviet Union.

The Soviet Union's total aid to India exceeded its aid to China.

You must know that the Soviet Union used to be China's big brother, and it was also a socialist country, but India was not. It can barely be called a capitalist socialist country.

During Nehru's period, he also followed the Soviet Union's five-year plan. After all, the great success of the Soviet Union at that time was imitated by many countries.

India, which is not a purely socialist country, has received more aid from the Soviet Union than China. It is conceivable how close the relationship between the two countries is.

India provided some raw materials to the Soviet Union, such as cotton, tea and other agricultural products or minerals, etc., while the Soviet Union exported industrial products or military equipment to India.

The two countries generally settle by exchanging goods.

When the Soviet Union disintegrated, India used the greatly depreciated ruble to pay off its debts. Although Russia later cheated on selling aircraft carriers, the relationship between the two countries is still close.

Many people think that India has a lot of stupid people and a lot of money in the aircraft carrier incident, and it is unnecessary to be tricked by Russia. The continuous increase in the price of second-hand aircraft carriers can build new aircraft carriers.

There must be some inside story that we don't understand, and there must be some high-level Indian army kickbacks.

In addition, India's repeated overpayment is also due to national considerations.

In the previous life, India’s weapons and equipment came from all over the world, and it was said that it could hold the world’s weapons expo, but Russia’s military equipment still accounted for the majority, so this relationship must be maintained, and paying more money is a kind of protection fee.

Otherwise, Russia will make a fuss about military equipment, such as delaying after-sales maintenance, or some parts are no longer sold, so you can’t stand it?

India is not stupid. Its international environment is much better than that of China. It can take advantage of both sides in the international arena and take advantage of the United States and the Soviet Union.

As for Jogo's specific mention of color television, there's a reason for that.

The industry in the Soviet Union was developed. In this era, basically every household in the Soviet Union had a TV, while the penetration rate of TV in China was only about 15% at the same time.

It can be seen how powerful the Soviet Union was at that time and how high the quality of life of the people was.

However, the color TVs in the Soviet Union were very problematic. Due to the imperfect production technology, it was common for color TVs to explode when they were left on.

During the five years from 1980 to 1985, explosions of color TVs caused nearly 2 fires in the Soviet Union, killing and injuring nearly 2000 people.

Of course, Qiao Ge didn't know the specific damage caused by the explosion, but in his previous life he had heard of the terrible Soviet color TV on the Internet, which was called a small bomb.

There is no such problem with black and white TVs, so it is impossible for Jogo to import color TVs.

Besides, for India, black and white TV sets are luxury goods, enough.

That's why Ivanov said that Jogo knew the Soviet Union very well when Jogo specifically asked not to use color TVs, because ordinary Indians don't know this at all, especially a young man like Jogo.
