Rebirth to 90s: Start from Scratch

Chapter 518 Missed

Valery said: “I think they might be operating behind this.”

“What’s the reason?” Zhang Qianxiu asked.

Valery said: “I know that some U.S. merchants are buying our food.”

Zhang Qianxiu asked: “When did it start?”

“Last year!” Valery said: “Last year, the global food production was not high. It was also the year before. Our domestic foreign aid grains decreased, but our domestic grains were not enough.”

“Therefore, our country has liberalized the trade of grain and can trade freely.”

“It is precisely because of this that American merchants came to collect grain.”

“This year’s grain output should be higher than last year, but because of a domestic problem, the grain problem has not been properly handled.”

“But in terms of foreign aid this year, there has been no increase.”

“Even if our output is about the same as last year, the domestic grain should be sufficient, but the purchase by American merchants and the problem of our economy directly caused the price of grain to skyrocket.”

“If the United States did not take away that part, our domestic situation should not have been so bad.”

Zhang Qianxiu’s head turned quickly, analyzing whether Valery’s words were true or not.

Zhang Qianxiu didn’t think Valery deceived himself, but was afraid that Valery was deceived by some appearances.

In the end, after thinking about it, Zhang Qianxiu still felt that behind this incident, there was a greater possibility of American influence.

Zhang Qianxiu asked, “Valery, when will the grain you mentioned be evened out?”

Valery said, “If you want, you can do it within a week.”

“Can you get in touch with people from the United States?” Zhang Qianxiu asked.

Bervska spread out and said: “In this regard, I don’t have too many contacts. I know a few merchants in the U.S., but I don’t know anyone in the food business.”

Valery said, “I can find a few.”

“Try to get in touch with them, just say you have a lot of food to sell.” Zhang Qianxiu said, “Let them take over.”

Valery said: “It’s not cost-effective, right? We didn’t raise the price. We sold the food directly to them. The price they gave would certainly not be very high.”

Zhang Qianxiu smiled lightly and said: “Just ask them to accept the price twice higher than the market price. If they don’t accept it, we will throw them all on the market and keep the price down.”

Bervska was a little anxious: “Mr. Zhang, if you do this, we won’t make any money.”

“You came all the way to the Soviet Union just to make money, not to do good deeds.”

Zhang Qianxiu said: “As long as we throw 10,000 tons, the price of food on the market in Moco will be suppressed.”

“As long as we continue to sell, we will continue to fall.”

“If there are really Americans behind them, they will definitely come to me to talk about the acquisition.”

Valery said, “What if they don’t come here?”

Zhang Qianxiu asked, “How much higher the price you gave me than the price in your domestic market?”

“At least quadruple,” Valery said.

Although sales in the country can quadruple, Valery and the people behind him have never considered selling in the country because it is easy to be investigated in the country.

Moreover, they have such a large amount that no one in the country can eat. The Soviet Union is a planned economy. There were no grain merchants in the past. Only the Soviet government can buy so much food from them.

With such a short period of freeing up grain trading, the merchants of the Soviet Union were still unable to make a difference.

Finally, Valery’s food is originally illegally sourced, and it is impossible to sell it at market prices.

Zhang Qianxiu said, “Even if I sell these grains at a low price, I can make a lot of money, right?”

“Mr. Zhang, does this count as our shared profit?” Bervska cares most about money.

Zhang Qianxiu nodded: “Forget it!”

“Then I have no opinion!” Bervska said cheerfully.

He naturally doesn’t have any opinions, and he can make money if he doesn’t pay a penny.

Zhang Qianxiu said: “Then let’s change our strategy. When the grain arrives, we will immediately throw the grain on the market. Don’t throw too much at the beginning. Throw a thousand tons, and then gradually increase.”

“The newspapers still have to contact, don’t let them say that the food will skyrocket, let them say that the government has begun to rescue the market, and the price of food will fall back. Ordinary people are advised not to buy food on a large scale.”

This is completely contrary to the news that Zhang Qianxiu said that the grain is going to skyrocket.

“Mr. Zhang, don’t you get in touch with Americans in advance?” Bervska said: “If we really push down the price, it’s not a good deal.”

Zhang Qianxiu said: “Let Valery get in touch. We only need to sell food.”

“The Americans will come to us by themselves.”

“Officials should also contact them to tell them that they have taken measures. As for what measures have been taken, let them make up for themselves.”

“If they are afraid that what they say can’t be realized and there is no way to deal with them, then give them a thousand tons of grain and let them do it by themselves. One thousand tons of grain will not make any difference, and the official people just want to behave. They don’t care if the price doesn’t come down.”

“Two people, do you have any comments?”

Valery said, “I have no opinion.”

“Neither did I!” Bervska said with a smile.

Zhang Qianxiu finally made a final conclusion: “Good! If everyone has no opinion, within seven days, you should contact the newspaper and the official people, let them cooperate with us in acting, and promote food prices everywhere.”

“At the same time, let them publicize that Lu Yuan is strong again, and various measures to rescue the market have come out.”

“In addition, by spending some money and getting the media to promote it everywhere, Su Guo has found a way to overcome the difficulties.”

“All in all, it’s bragging that the country of Su has passed the cold winter and is heading for a warm spring, and it is thriving.”

Bervska smiled bitterly: “No one will believe this, right?”

“Our officials are talking about this every day. The situation is getting worse and worse. Although ordinary people don’t know what the official leaders are doing, they are not stupid.”

Zhang Qianxiu said nonchalantly: “It doesn’t really matter, you can help build momentum.”

“We don’t have to expect these reports to make Su angry. Our purpose is to make the United States nervous and come to us to buy food at that time.”

The United States is looking forward to the disintegration of the Soviet Union. At this time, they will never allow any accidents to happen, and they will definitely come to Zhang Qianxiu to disrupt the situation.

“Mr. Zhang, although I think these are useless, but I will take care of these things.” Bervska said.

“Thank you, Mr. Bervska.” Zhang Qianxiu turned his head and looked at Valery: “Valery, can you solve the official people to cooperate with us? And that is, can you find a way to catch up with the United States? Those merchants who bought grain revealed to them, intentionally or unintentionally, that I was tossing about this, and that I was suppressing the price of grain, so that they would come to me on their own initiative.”

Valery agreed very happily: “No problem.”

Zhang Qianxiu confidently said: “Then there will be no problem. I was worried that so many grains could not be sold in the Soviet Union. If the United States is willing to take over, there will be no problem.”

In fact, Zhang Qianxiu didn’t have much confidence in his heart, but he thought about it for a while. If he was a US country and couldn’t predict the future, he would definitely spend money to buy peace of mind.

For a country, buying 10 million tons of grain is not a big deal.

The only possible problem is that the U.S. merchants are not officially arranged by the U.S. They just come to the Soviet Union to make a fortune. They are very pure merchants, and they may not receive their own food in the end.

Even so, in the end, I just made a little less, anyway, I “get the price” very cheap.

Zhang Qianxiu talked to the two about purchasing factories and finding talents.

They have no interest in acquiring the Su Guo factory because they have to invest money, but Zhang Qianxiu wants to buy it. They will introduce suitable ones, and Zhang Qianxiu will give them generous rewards.

Recruiting talents is even simpler, counting by head.

Bervska and Valery had a simple idea. They used their contacts to find the money. If they didn’t find it, they had no interest in helping Zhang Qianxiu to find it.

Zhang Qianxiu also understood the two people’s ideas, but he couldn’t find a more suitable person in Su Guo.

Those true patriots would not be able to cooperate with Zhang Qianxiu; other people who can betray their own country only have interests in their eyes, and they will not be any better than Bervska and Valery.

This chat is at night.

Because of the time difference, many people have already gone back to rest early.

Zhang Qianxiu was in good spirits, but it didn’t come early, so he returned to the room.

Shortly after returning to the room, there was a knock on the door.

Zhang Qianxiu thought it was a waiter, and got up to open the door, only to find that it was Song Pingyun.

“Old Song, I haven’t slept yet! Come in and sit down.” Zhang Qianxiu greeted Song Pingyun into the room and closed the door.

After the two sat down, Song Pingyun said, “Boss Zhang, I do know some people in Su, and I can help you.”

When Zhang Qianxiu heard this, he suddenly smiled: “That would be great, Lao Song, what do all the people you know do?”

Song Pingyun was silent for a while, and said, “Boss Zhang, I’d better tell you about me first.”

“I wonder if Zhihua told you about our family?”

Zhang Qianxiu said: “I have said something, saying that your old man was a bandit before, and was later recruited and assigned to work. Because he couldn’t stand the atmosphere, he didn’t do it and ate nothing at home.”

“Your generation is not even willing to inherit the work.”

Song Pingyun said: “It looks like this on the surface, but my dad is actually patriotic in his bones. Our family has been going back and forth between the borders of the two countries. It’s not that we were lucky and didn’t get caught.”

“But we didn’t catch us deliberately. We basically only need to avoid Suguo’s patrol. People in the country who see that they belong to our family will deliberately avoid them.”

Hearing this, Zhang Qianxiu frowned immediately and looked away.
