The Gagarin Aircraft Manufacturing Plant is a factory that produces Su-27 and some MiG fighters. Even if someone goes bankrupt, they will not go bankrupt for the time being, and there is no possibility of reorganization.
Golbachev was fooled by the West and began to promote privatization.
Unfortunately, the Soviet Union's privatization would not really begin for another five or six years, so Wan Feng could not catch up.
The privatization in the Soviet Union was a very interesting process. Stocks were issued to ordinary people. For every 25 rubles you paid, you would be given a purchase ring with a face value of 10,000 rubles. The holder could use the purchase ring to buy shares in state-owned enterprises.
Moreover, these purchase circles can be transferred and traded.
But the shock therapy implemented by Yeltsin turned these stocks into almost worthless pieces of paper.
At this time, supporters of then Russian President Boris Yeltsin, with the support of Western capital, frantically bought up stocks from the people. When the Russian economy recovered and these stocks became valuable, Russia's state-owned assets were severely lost and a large number of oligarchs emerged.
Alas! Unfortunately, now is not the right time. Even if Wan Feng wants to make a fortune in Russian screws, he will have to wait for six or seven years.
If we let Shamilov buy some of these stocks, can we make a fortune out of nothing?
As an oligarch in Russia, Wan Feng never thought that he could not defeat the future Emperor Putin, but it seemed that getting hundreds of millions of dollars was not a difficult task.
But that was in the future, at least in 1995.
Wan Feng is now thinking about the current business.
Wan Feng began to have wild thoughts.
Using rice and dollars as collateral, I borrowed money from a Soviet bank to buy their products and resell them...
But there is no rice.
Wan Feng felt that even if he could get some rice and dollars, the amount would not be much, and it would be a drop in the bucket and would be of no use.
The country is still short of rice and dollars. Where can he get a large amount of rice and dollars?
Using Chinese currency as collateral doesn't seem to work either. The two sides are now just bartering, and there's not even an exchange rate between the currencies. The Russians can't do that.
Through Shamilov, he borrowed money from the Soviet Union by bribing bank leaders, bought products with rubles, and then repaid them with rubles when the ruble depreciated?
This approach was also not feasible because the Soviet Union would not disintegrate for another three years, and the ports between the two countries were closed when it disintegrated.
If the port is closed, he will have to go back to China. By that time, the ruble has not yet depreciated, so it would be a waste of time.
After thinking for a long time, I decided it would be better to just barter honestly.
Li Mingzhe worked very hard. During the few days he was away, he got along well with the guy named Yakov.
Yakov was the man Alexei had assigned to be his companion.
He also learned every detail about the young Chinese man from Yakov.
Only then did he realize that the young Chinese man was actually a very capable person, and a very capable person.
At this moment, he felt that he should work hard, maybe he would follow this Chinese youth in the future.
Because of this motivation, Li Mingzhe worked very hard. In the past three days, he almost grew up in the fourth plant of Amur Steel Plant.
He made connections with those he knew and asked questions to those he didn't know. In just three days, he had a pretty good idea of the situation at the Fourth Factory.
Three days later, Li Mingzhe returned with great pride.
"The fourth plant of the Amur Steel Plant is currently semi-idle. With no products being processed, workers are only paid half their wages and have two or three days off. Their products include a variety of cold-rolled and hot-rolled steel plates and profiles. They have several specifications of the cold-rolled thin plates you asked me to inquire about, ranging from 0.5mm to 4mm. The ex-factory price is 200 rubles per ton, and thicker plates are even cheaper."
"Also, the second and third plants of the Amur Steel Plant are now open to civilian use. These two plants mainly produce special steel for shipbuilding."
Wan Feng was stunned for a moment. Military shipbuilding steel was sold abroad?
Is it a lucky thing?
Although the Soviet Union's military steel is not top-notch in the world, it is still a grade higher than the steel used by China to build warships.
China is still at a relatively settled stage in terms of special steel and is almost dependent on imports.
And we can't get the best steel.
"Do you know what types of steel are available for civilian use?"
"I'm not sure about this. It seems to be some type of AB series ship steel. It's too technical for me to explain."
Wan Feng doesn’t know much about this kind of military steel, so he needs to go back and ask if China needs it.
If necessary, he wouldn't mind taking one or several batches back, but of course he couldn't show up.
With Mao's character, if he shows up, he will definitely be tricked and swallowed up.
If the Chinese military needs it, let Shamilov make the contact.
No! He wasn't going to do anything even for civilian use. Shamilov had sent a representative, and he'd set the price and let Babulev do it.
Let the Soviets fuck with the Soviets.
Next, Li Mingzhe introduced who was the leader of Amur Factory No. 4 and who to contact to get the lowest price when purchasing steel.
Wan Feng was very satisfied with Li Mingzhe's work: "Brother Li, I am very satisfied with your work. If you are interested, you can serve me in Gongqingcheng in the future. I will give you an engineer-level salary."
The engineer level salary is about 300 rubles a month. Li Mingzhe felt like he was in a dream.
"Brother Li, we want to visit the fourth plant of Amur Steel Plant. Please find a way to arrange it for us."
He took out five hundred rubles from his pocket and threw them to Li Mingzhe: "Take this money. If you have any difficulties, use this money to get through."
"No problem, give me two days and I promise to make sure everything is arranged properly for you."
"No rush. Just ask around for the specifications and prices of the steel products made available for civilian use at the Amur No. 2 and No. 3 plants. That's all."
Li Mingzhe and Yakov embarked on a journey again.
After sending Li Mingzhe away, Wan Feng asked Alexei's men to go out to some factories that he was interested in to learn about the situation.
When they were the only ones left in the hotel, Wan Feng asked Han Guangjia.
"Uncle Chen, how much research do you have on special steel?"
Chen Dao shook his head: "I don't know much. Our domestic production of special steel is not large and the quality is not good. I don't have much contact with it."
It seems that I have to ask this question back home.
"Third brother, can you still contact the military now?"
Han Guangjia was a little surprised: "Why contact the military?"
"Didn't you hear what Li Mingzhe said? Amur Steel Plants 2 and 3 have also begun opening up to the civilian market. These two plants specialize in producing special steel for Soviet warships. I'd like to contact the military and ask if they're interested. If they are, we can discuss it."
"There's no problem contacting the military, but we still have to go back."
"No rush. When you get back, contact the military. If they're interested, they'll send someone over."
First, sell the civilian steel back, and we can deal with the military steel later.
