Go back in time and be a chaebol

Chapter 530 Taking advantage of the loophole (fourth update, please subscribe)
The fate of people often depends on the degree of drastic changes in historical development; this category determines the fate of many people - no one can avoid this power! The vast majority of people can only go with the flow. This is inevitable, not accidental.

If World War II had not broken out and if Germany had not invaded, Ivanovich could have become a scientist. Indeed, as the son of a railway engineer and a Tangshan woman, he mastered the languages ​​of his parents in his childhood. At a very young age, he easily learned German, English and Chinese, and was admitted to Moscow University. His life The road was supposed to belong to a scientist or an engineer.

However, when he was twenty-three years old, the war broke out. Like many people, he became a soldier. Originally, he was likely to die on an extremely cruel battlefield, but because of Huidewu and his background Reliable, he became a member of the Internal Affairs Service.

It was this that changed his fate. Unlike many of his friends and classmates who died on the battlefield, he never went to a real battlefield, although he experienced the entire war. Finally, he entered Germany with the army, and later entered Manchuria. Two years ago, he came to Nanyang as a businessman and became the head of a trading company. He came here to engage in sugar, rubber and other businesses, while watching this Everything that happened in the new country. Even based on his experience, this is still a very magical country, and the kind of changes that have taken place here are something he has never heard of or seen before.

Of course, none of this is important to him. He comes here just as a person - of course, he buys various commodities that Russia needs from here.

The most important product is imported electronic computers - in the past few years, through trading companies, they have purchased more than 20 electronic computers. Now those computers are used in various aspects. Although the price is high, they are very useful for various industries in Russia. It was helpful in all aspects, and for this, Ivanovic was even commended.

But now, it's all over - Nanyang is also a member of the "Paris Coordinating Committee".

In a restaurant in Chang'an, Ivanovich looked at the guests in front of him and said slowly.

"Chief Zhao, I think that in the past two years, we have not only established a profound friendship through business contacts, but the business contacts are also beneficial to both of us,"

Then he specifically emphasized,
"No one understands the full benefits of strengthening business ties between Russia and South China as well as you do."

"I think so too, Ivan, we are very willing to carry out normal trade with you." After saying this, he began to play with the steaks on the plate, and at the same time looked at the wine glass. The vodka in the wine glass was Russian. , in addition to vodka, there is also caviar from Russia - caviar is also an important product exported by Russia. Ivan spent money on this meal... Actually, there is no cost at all. After all, the caviar itself is the product of his trading company. In Southeast Asia, Russian caviar is very valuable because of tariffs - —200% tariff on luxury goods, making it a luxury product that only a few people can afford.

"Moscow authorized me to discuss with you the possibility of increasing trade between our two countries. In a sense, the economic and trade cooperation between our two countries is mutually beneficial. I have accurate statistics, figures and forecasts - we have What to expect from the development of the trade, which will guarantee you huge profits. ”

As the head of the Russian and Eastern European Section of the Foreign Trade Division of the Ministry of International Trade and Industry, he knew that a problem was coming.

"no doubt."

Ivanovich coughed, lit a cigarette, and asked:
"Can I speak very frankly in front of this table, Chief Zhao?"

"That's true,"

Zhao Peide replied,
"And I think so too."

"Then I would like to know why the Ministry of International Trade and Industry banned the export of computers to us? Is this influenced by the Paris Coordinating Committee?"

Nodding, Zhao Peide said.

Zhao Peide said,
"We can definitely be honest with each other."

"I'm glad you think so,"

Because the establishment of the "Paris Coordinating Committee" is still an open secret, but the Russian side has obviously obtained the corresponding information. After learning that a variety of products, including new computers like the Imagine 101, were embargoed, Moscow asked Ivanovich to communicate with Nanyang.

"I don't know that. I don't even know what you are talking about."

Shrugging, Zhao Peide said: "The revocation of the export license was only stopped at the request of the official residence. I don't know the specific circumstances."

"I think,"

Ivanovich pointed out,
"We should pay more attention to the vast space for trade cooperation between the two countries in the future, which will definitely bring considerable economic returns to our two countries. What do you think?"

The economy must give way to safety. On the way out of the restaurant, Zhao Peide's mind flashed to the speech of the deputy minister at the confidential meeting of the Ministry.

Now the ministry has not only revoked all export licenses to Russia and Eastern European countries, but is also formulating a list of banned goods. Zhao Peide is not sure what impact this will have, but one thing is for sure, as it did in the past, The era of casual exports to Russia and other Eastern European countries is over.

A few days later, on January 1, the Ministry of International Trade and Industry announced a "sensitive material export ban" and implemented a comprehensive review system for exports from Russia and Eastern European countries based on the ban.

Li Yi'an, who was inspecting Yong'an, just sighed and said after approving the ban.

"This is just the beginning of an era."

"From the perspective of the ban, except for electronic computers, aircraft and other equipment, the Batumi agreement seems to have little impact on us."

Yu Xiangdong asked curiously.

"It may not seem big, but it is actually very big. The only thing we are leading now is electronic computers, but what about the future? In the future, including oil extraction equipment and petrochemical equipment, they will definitely enter the international market. Russia itself is a big oil country. They will definitely need to import advanced petrochemical equipment and oil extraction equipment, which is a piece of fat! "

Li Yian said after glancing out of the car window.

"Coupled with other complete sets of equipment, whether we can eat this piece of meat in the future is a matter of choice."

People today don't know the power of the Batumi Agreement, but his experience in another world made Li Yi'an very clear that with the increasing blockade measures of the Batumi Agreement, it will eventually form a comprehensive information and technology attack on Russia and the Eastern European Group. The blockade has directly caused Russia's continuous technological lag. Normally, if the country cannot manufacture it, it can be purchased through imports. However, the Russian East Group is unable to do anything in this regard - they have long been subject to the "Batum Agreement", Unable to purchase the core technology products they need. In the long run, the Paris Coordination Committee imposed high-tech transfer restrictions on Russia, which opened up the technological level between the United States and Russia.

"The key is the intensity of the implementation of the agreement, capital is profit-seeking!"

Yu Xiangdong's words made Li Yian smile. He did not refute this. The famous "Toshiba Incident" was because Toshiba exported high-end CNC machine tools to Russia in order to obtain huge profits, and was almost killed.

It is true that capital pursues profit, but the key issue is...capital is also fatal.

"Your Excellency, the implementation of such a trade ban does not seem to be beneficial to us. Although the annual trade volume is only tens of millions of dollars, in the long run, the blockade of the Russian East Group by various countries will inevitably bring new business opportunities. "

In this era of all-out economic development, as the head of the official secretary office, Yu Xiangdong also attaches great importance to the commercial interests of Nanyang enterprises.

Li Yian nodded and said.

"So, we have to find a way around all of this, well, we also have to find a way to get around this."
