The ice in the Longjiang River finally cleared, and the port reopened on April 22nd.
Wan Feng was exhausted by this port. It had to be closed when the river was open, when the river was closed, and even during the Chinese New Year.
I don’t have to do anything else this year, I just close it and play.
Apart from these three closures a year, normal trading time is only eight or nine months.
People who had been holding back for more than half a month flocked into the trading hall of Daheihe Island.
Now, not only is the number of Chinese entering Heihe Island to trade increasing exponentially, but Soviet people from the other side of the strait are also flocking in.
After they discovered that they could exchange a hundred or eighty kilograms of steel for a bottle of liquor, a pair of shoes, or a small box of bubble gum, many Soviet people went into business.
Wan Feng looked at the Soviet men and women chewing bubble gum and blowing bubbles in confusion.
He really didn't understand why the Soviets loved bubble gum so much. They were not children, so what was there to blow?
Shamilov's barge arrived immediately, and the two ships directly brought over a thousand tons of steel.
Of course he followed.
"Shamilov, have you gone crazy lately? Why are there so many steel materials?"
"Are you unhappy that more people are coming over?"
"Of course I'm happy. The more you bring in, the more money I make."
Only a fool would be unhappy and wish you could bring in 18,000 tons a day.
"That's fine. It won't be a problem to deliver 30,000 tons of steel a month in the future."
"Contact Li Mingze for me and ask him to come over."
In fact, Wan Feng wanted Shamilov to contact Dimitri directly, but after thinking about it, he decided to let Li Mingze come over.
It is a bit risky to let Shamilov contact Dmitri directly, so it would be better if the two of them do not have direct contact in the future.
Shamilov's work efficiency is quite good.
On the third day after he returned, Li Mingdou arrived in Blagoveshchensk.
Wan Feng did not let him cross the river, but went to Bu City secretly by himself.
"Go back and tell Dimitri that I want to see him." Wan Feng met Li Mingze in Shamilov's villa in Bu City.
"After this is done, you can pack up and settle down in China in two months."
"Really? I can really settle down in China. Then can I still do something with you in the future?"
"Yes, that depends on what you can do. I'll help you get settled in Yanbian, where we speak the same language. If you want to work somewhere, the Chinese government will arrange it for you."
"I'm not working. I'm used to my freedom and don't want to be restricted by others."
"Then you can do some business in Yanbian City."
"good!"
Li Mingze's courage and brains are passable, but unfortunately he is not good at language. Otherwise, it would be nice to keep him around to come up with some small ideas from time to time.
He has made a lot of contributions to China. Although they are not yet indelible, it is still possible for China to accept him and arrange a job for him.
If he doesn't want to work, it's none of Wan Feng's business.
Li Mingze left, and three days later Dimitri came again disguised as a businessman wearing glasses.
In name, we came to Wanfeng to purchase goods.
"Dear Comrade Wan Feng, I am very happy to see you."
"Dear Comrade Dimitri, I am very happy to see you, too."
According to Soviet etiquette, hugging is indispensable.
After the hug, Wan Feng got straight to the point, because Dimitri couldn't stay here for too long.
"My client wants to buy these three items. See if you can sell them."
After Dimitri took the order from Wan Feng, he screamed three times in a row.
"Slava-class cruiser! Kilo-class submarine! Su-27 fighter!"
Dimitri collapsed into the chair and lay down like Ge You.
"Dimitri! Did you piss your pants?"
"Comrade Wan Feng, you think too highly of us. You asked us to trade tanks, infantry vehicles, or even artillery and gunboats—that's no problem. But we can't do anything about the three things you listed above. And I'm telling you, no one dares to sell you these three things."
This means that Dmitri and his colleagues are not at that level, and they don’t have the power or courage to deal with these big things.
"Comrade Dimitri, who can I go to buy these things from?"
"Unless you can find the National Defense Committee, but even if you do, they won't sell it to you. This is a national treasure."
What’s the point of having a national treasure? If you don’t even have food to eat, what’s the point of having a national treasure?
If people starve to death, they are just a pile of steel.
"Dimitri, so you're really not going to sell these things?"
Dimitri thought for a moment and said, "Don't even think about the Su-27. We've only been equipped with it for a short time and don't even have enough for ourselves. The Slava-class cruiser is also out of the question because we only have four or five. What would we do with them?"
Huh? The Soviet Union only has four or five Slava-class ships? So few? I thought there were plenty.
"However, the Glory-class is unlikely to be sold, but the Modern-class is likely to be sold."
Wan Feng knew that China had introduced the Sovremenny-class destroyers in the 1990s, which were the four great kings of the navy at that time.
The soldiers serving on the Four King Kongs at that time were so awesome. But twenty years later, they became outdated, which made the Chinese Navy dissatisfied, so they had to send them for modification.
The world is changing so fast.
"Dimitri, a Kilo-class submarine should be fine too, right? You Soviet Union has so many nuclear submarines, so conventional submarines don't seem to be very useful, right?"
Dimitri curled his lips. "How can it be useless? It has its own value. Are the Black Sea, the Baltic Sea, and the Sea of Serbia and Montenegro places where nuclear submarines can operate? These places are like bathtubs. Only submarines like the Kilo class can operate there."
Holy crap, it turns out the Soviet Union retained a large number of conventional submarines for this purpose.
"But I think if you really want to buy it, I feel like there's a real possibility that the Kilo-class is for sale. You'll have to contact the Soviet Ministry of Defense about this. We can't do anything about these large pieces of equipment."
"Thank you, Dimitri. I will pass your valuable advice on to my clients."
"If you have any needs for small equipment, please contact us. I hope we can have opportunities for cooperation."
"Yes, I'll contact you when we need anything."
When Dimitri left, Wan Feng gave him goods worth three thousand rubles.
A thief never leaves anything behind. Of course, we can't let Dimitri go back empty-handed. He might need us in the future.
Wan Feng attached great importance to Dimitri's opinion and conveyed the information to Zhu Guoxiong through the Heihe Military Sub-district overnight.
This is the contact information that Zhu Guoxiong left specifically.
The message conveyed by Wan Feng was that the Kilo-class submarines and Sovremenny-class destroyers were more likely to be purchased, while the Su-27 was quite difficult to acquire, so if one wanted to buy them, it would be up to fate.
