Well, people always ask questions like this, and Li Xiucheng is also helpless.
He had no choice but to tell everyone the reason he had given before, but the difference was that at the end he also said: "Actually, this batch of goods is a small business and a stepping stone.
My purpose is to have deeper cooperation with them. "
This last sentence made Zhao Xueyao and the others a little surprised, and Zhao Jishan was even more direct: "Oh? What kind of cooperation?"
"Special equipment, technical talent export and financial industry cooperation."
Zhao Jishan frowned. The scope of these three aspects was not small, and he did not think it was possible to export technical talents.
"It's actually possible to get equipment with a little effort. I don't know much about the financial industry, but Yimo's mother knows more about it. If you go there, you can ask her.
I don’t think it’s possible to export this kind of technical talent.
Although we have restored diplomatic relations now, it is only limited to light industry and trade. I don't think the Soviet Union will allow technical talents to flow out.
This is a bit unrealistic. In addition, the treatment of technical talents in the Soviet Union is much higher than that in our country. I don’t think they are willing to come to our country. "
This is indeed impossible for the time being, but when the Soviet Union disintegrates and the new government has not yet established a firm foothold, technical talents will be rootless and poor people who hold devalued rubles in their hands and beg for a piece of bread but cannot get it.
But of course Li Xiucheng couldn't say it now, it was impossible to explain.
He smiled and said: "It depends on human effort, how will you know if you don't work hard.
Besides, once diplomatic relations are restored, our relationship will gradually get better, and no one can predict what will happen in the future.
Moreover, the situation in the Soviet Union is now turbulent and unstable. Maybe the technical talents are willing to leave? "
Zhao Jishan had to admit this. He nodded and said: "It's just a possibility! But Old Gore has come to power and is vigorously promoting reforms. The situation in our country may soon improve slowly, so now those who want to enrich the Soviet Union's national crisis will People are very positive.”
These words sounded a little off, and Zhao Xueyao said angrily: "Brother Shan, what are you talking about?"
"Ha, I'm sorry." Zhao Jishan responded, waved to Li Xiucheng and said, "Brother Li, don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about you."
Li Xiucheng smiled nonchalantly and said, "I understand what Brother Shan means, but I don't agree with what you said, Brother Shan."
"Oh? What do you say?" Zhao Jishan asked curiously. He didn't know where he said it wrong.
"First of all, I want to explain that although the reputation of 'traitor' is not very good, strictly speaking, what he does is beneficial to both countries."
As soon as Li Xiucheng opened his mouth, he successfully aroused the interest of the three people. Even Zhao Yimo, who didn't like doing business, straightened his back and looked at him curiously.
In an instant, the guest Li Xiucheng became the center of attention.
"Although the term "traitor" has only appeared in recent years, I believe Brother Shan knows best. In fact, these people have appeared a long time ago."
"Yes." Zhao Jishan nodded and recalled with a sigh on his face: "During the period when our two sides were at odds, although official trade was prohibited, private trade was actually very frequent.
Of course, it is actually smuggling, and you will be sentenced if caught.
But the profits are high, so high that no one can refuse.
A bottle of liquor costs one or two yuan here, but as long as it is delivered to the other side, there is actually only a river across the border. As long as you swim to the other side of the river, you can sell it for more than 20 yuan! "
"Twenty times profit? Is that so profitable?" Zhao Xueyao exclaimed. She guessed that she might make money, but she didn't expect that the profit would be so terrifying. Then wouldn't Li Xiucheng's batch of tens of millions of goods be able to make billions?
Li Xiucheng saw her unfinished words and smiled: "It's not that exaggerated now, and it's only limited to special products. In addition, I follow the formal foreign trade route and have to pay taxes, so I can't make that much money."
Zhao Xueyao stroked her chest and said with a frightened expression: "Oh, that's not bad. It scared me just now and made my heart beat."
"Okay, I'll go on.
First, let’s talk about what is most lacking in our country?
It’s foreign exchange!
Although foreign exchange reserves have exceeded 2 billion in recent years and coastal trade has also prospered, in fact, these are orders from national ministries and commissions, and there are not many private companies.
In previous years, it was even worse, with annual foreign exchange reserves of only a few hundred million US dollars!
Then the Soviet Union was the victor in World War II and a world giant. It was a high-welfare country.
In the 1960s, we here received a salary of 40 yuan, while others received a salary of several hundred rubles.
The conversion is twenty or thirty times that of ours.
We were poor at that time and lived an unhappy life.
But if they have money, do they live happily?
No, they are equally unhappy, because they also follow a planned economy. If you want to buy things, you don’t just have money, you also need tickets.
Like us, sometimes it’s hard to get a ticket.
Later, we implemented reform and opening up, the economy began to improve, and light and heavy industries developed together. Although we were still poor, our living standards improved.
Looking back at the big brothers of the Soviet Union, they are fighting wars everywhere, competing for hegemony with the United States, and engaging in military competition. Their domestic industrial development is seriously biased.
All the money was invested in military industry, and some life-related light industries were also given priority to the military.
As a result, ordinary Soviet people became poor and rich people!
Rich people can't buy anything, but poor people really only have money. "
Having said this, Li Xiucheng took a breath, picked up the cup and took a sip of water. Zhao Jishan took the initiative to refill it for him and praised: "Even if I have lived here all my life, I can't see the other side as clearly as you.
Just relying on this analysis and argument, it shows that you are really extraordinary. "
Li Xiucheng was about to say a few polite words when Zhao Xueyao shouted dissatisfiedly: "Brother Shan, don't interrupt. Listen to Xiucheng continue."
Li Xiucheng and Zhao Jishan looked at each other and smiled.
Okay~
This curious woman is like a cat, just untouchable.
He continued: "Actually, going back to the topic just now, the result is very obvious. What I earned from the Soviet Union was the foreign exchange that our country urgently needed, which can be regarded as a contribution to the country.
The goods transported were all the living materials that the Soviet people were in urgent need of. Although they made money from them, they solved their living problems.
I think they must be very willing to take out the waste paper in their hands in exchange for food and wine. "
"Not bad!" Zhao Jishan said with appreciation: "Nowadays, there are many Soviet people waiting at the station along the railway line every day in order to buy the goods we transported there.
When you put it this way, I think what we are doing is very meaningful. "
"Gee, why do you feel like Mrs. Wang is selling flowers and boasting about herself?" Zhao Yimo smiled sweetly while holding the edge of the bed.
Everyone: "..."
Zhao Xueyao slapped her on the back: "Dear sister Yimo, please don't show off your Chinese talent!"
