"Sheng, thanks to you, I've been promoted again."

"Really? That's wonderful, my friend." Sheng Xiping was also happy for his old friend.

The higher Alexander's position, the greater his authority, and the more secure his deal with Sheng Xiping became.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Alexander invited Sheng Xiping and the translator to his study for a private discussion.

At this moment, Sheng Xiping finally understood Alexander's true purpose in summoning him.

The two major Coca-Cola companies have a history of cooperation with Russia, investing in factories there and selling Coca-Cola.

Because of Russia's currency controls, it cannot be exchanged internationally or taken abroad, so they use commodity swaps as a means of exchange.

Pepsi traded Coca-Cola for Russian vodka and then sold the vodka to the United States.

Coca-Cola, in turn, would exchange its cars for Lada sedans, which would then be modified and sold to various European countries.

Because of this

Over the years, Russia's economic situation has deteriorated to the point that it no longer has enough food to produce vodka, and naturally, it cannot afford to buy Coca-Cola.

"The higher-ups intend to exchange a batch of decommissioned submarines and warships for Coca-Cola."

We had been in talks with Pepsi about this matter, but for various reasons we were unable to reach an agreement.

Sheng, I called you here to ask if you're interested in this.

"If you can guarantee to pay us a large amount of Coca-Cola concentrate, we'd be happy to discuss this business with you." Alexander finally revealed the purpose of his trip.

The partnership agreement between Russia and Pepsi has expired, and they are now negotiating a new collaboration.

If it weren't for the partnership with Tengyue, the Russians and Pepsi would have already reached an agreement.

Now that the Russians have other options, they naturally want to gain more benefits from them.

After all, Sheng Xiping has so much to offer, not just cola concentrate.

Moreover, the Russians' cooperation with Sheng Xiping's side has been very pleasant several times, and they have gained considerable benefits from it in every aspect.

Therefore, when Alexander proposed to try cooperating with Tengyue Company, some leaders at the top thought it was feasible, which led to Alexander's initiative to invite Sheng Xiping.

Sheng Xiping listened to the translation with excitement in his heart.

It was thumping loudly.

I'd only heard of the idea of ​​trading cola for a fleet before, and I thought it was a joke.

Unexpectedly, this was actually true, and it even happened to me.

“Alexander, thank you so much for trusting me and giving me this opportunity.”

Sheng Xiping tried to calm himself down and smiled at Alexander.

"Then let's discuss the specific terms of cooperation, and then we'll each report back. Regardless of the outcome, I'm very grateful to you, my friend."

There was no time to report to his superiors, so Sheng Xiping could only talk first and discuss the matter further once the terms were agreed upon.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; you'll regret it for the rest of your life if you miss it.

Sheng Xiping believed that if Elder Yang and the others were present, they would have agreed without hesitation.

Alexander has worked with Sheng Xiping so many times, and what he admires most about Sheng Xiping is his straightforwardness in getting things done.

So he took out a few sheets of paper from his briefcase and handed them to Sheng Xiping. They listed the types of goods and prices they could currently exchange.

Having worked with Sheng Xiping for several years, the translator has become very experienced and can remain calm when faced with the contents of the list.

So, the translator explained each item to Sheng Xiping one by one.

The list includes seventeen submarines, ten heavy cargo ships, one frigate, one destroyer, and one cruiser.

Although it's labeled as retired junk, based on Sheng Xiping's understanding of the Russians, these machines are definitely still in good working order.

In its previous life, PepsiCo also became the world's sixth largest naval force thanks to this collaboration.

Of course, businessmen are businessmen after all. PepsiCo wasn't interested in these "junk pieces" and didn't want to pay large sums for maintenance and repairs anymore.

So, they later took all of these to Sweden and dismantled them.

In response, they joked with the United States that they were the first to disarm the Russians.

Sheng Xiping stared intently at the list, his heart pounding with excitement.

If we can close this deal and bring all of these back, it will definitely be a great help to our country's maritime power.

Originally, Sheng Xiping planned to wait until all the aircraft transactions were completed before purchasing a few military transport aircraft from Russia, which would then be dismantled and studied by relevant research departments.

Unexpectedly, before even acquiring the transport plane, they encountered such a great opportunity.

“Alexander, I have seen the list, and the prices are reasonable. However, I have a request.”

Sheng Xiping looked at the list, gritted his teeth, and said.

"What request do you have? Sheng, we are friends. You can tell me what you need, and I will do my best to help you."

Alexander didn't quite understand Sheng Xiping's meaning, but he was assigned by his superiors to handle the matter, and he could agree to any conditions that weren't particularly outrageous.

"I heard that you have an aircraft carrier under construction, currently near the Black Sea, is that right?"

Sheng Xiping had long coveted that semi-finished product, but in the past, Tengyue Company was small and didn't have enough money, so he could only dream about it.

Now that the company's conditions are almost settled, Sheng Xiping can't help but have some ideas.

If we could also bring back that half-finished product, that would be even better.

Alexander immediately knew what Sheng Xiping was talking about.
