An Lizhi played the march of pots and pans in the kitchen for more than an hour, prepared eight dishes, placed them on the kang in the main room, and then went to the store in front to invite Zhan Honggui, Wan Feng and Han Guang to have dinner.
Zhan Honggui took two bottles of Xifeng liquor and half a box of beer from the counter and invited Wan Feng and Han Guangjia to dinner.
An Lizhi stayed in the store to look after it, and the two children were also in the store.
Zhan Honggui knew that Wan Feng didn't like drinking white wine, so he let Wan Feng drink beer.
He first had a toast with Han Guangjia.
"Eat, eat, don't be polite when you come to my house"
The three of them ate and chatted, and the atmosphere was very lively.
After a few chats, the topic turned to Zhan Honggui's store.
"So far, my store has been open for about a month and a half. Theoretically, I've made over 3,000 yuan, but I haven't seen a penny of it go into inventory. When I opened the store, I had 2,000 yuan left after building the house, and I spent it all on stock. Now the cost of goods for my store is probably over 6,000 yuan."
Zhan Honggui said with a contented look on his face.
Farmers’ demands for life are really not high. Is Zhan Honggui satisfied with such a small amount of assets?
"Brother, next year, when the port trade stops, you'll have more time to do business. How about selling motorcycles in Fuyuan County?"
Zhan Honggui shook his head vigorously: "I can't do it. I'm not cut out for it."
"What does this have to do with the materials? If you're brave enough, just rent a store and I can sell the goods on credit to you. I'll pay you after you sell them."
"Brother, I'm just a farmer. I know my own limitations. Now I run this small shop and make 18,000 yuan a year. I'm quite content. I have enough food and clothing, a wife and children, and a warm bed. I can't support a bigger business."
"What's he unable to sustain? If you don't dare to do motorcycle business, then how about wholesale? When the port is closed, come to Jiangwei Village, Hongya County, Beiliao County to find me. I'll take you to the Wahou Market. Then you can hire a car to bring goods back from the Wahou Market for wholesale. If you don't make a hundred thousand or eighty thousand a year, I won't say anything."
"What do you have at the Wahou Market?"
"Probably everything except alcohol and tobacco."
"Why would I approve of this if I don't have cigarettes or alcohol?"
Tobacco and alcohol are state-monopolized commodities, and there is no wholesale market except for retail.
I vaguely remember that in the early 1990s, the country liberalized cigarette wholesale for a period of time. Fake cigarettes were everywhere. Later, when the country saw that this was not working, it took back the tobacco.
"Cigarettes and alcohol are state-owned, so there's no wholesale. Besides that, anything you can think of is available at the Wahou Market, and the prices are more than half off. Go check it out. Or how about you come with me when I go back to Beiliao next month? Several people from Heihe want to go with me to Beiliao, and one of them is a woman who's planning to start a wholesale department by moving goods."
After hearing this, Zhan Honggui was a little tempted.
"If I leave, won't there be no one watching over this stall at the dock?"
"It's okay to throw it away for a month. There's nothing to worry about when it comes to military affairs."
"I'll think about this."
In fact, bringing goods back from Wahou for wholesale is definitely a way to make money. Although the journey is long and the freight is high and the damage to the goods is high, the price difference still guarantees that you will have enough profit.
Earning tens of thousands of dollars a year is no problem at all.
The three of them drank until after eight o'clock in the evening. After drinking, they fell on the kang and slept until dawn.
Wan Feng and Han Guangjia stayed at Zhan Honggui's house for two days and left on the third day.
When he left, Wan Feng paid Zhan Honggui his salary for the year until the end of the year, and gave him a bonus of 15,000 yuan.
Zhan Honggui insisted on not accepting it, and finally Han Guangjia said, "Take it. Boss Wan has plenty of money. You will never be able to earn back the money he has squeezed out of his fingers in your lifetime. If it were me, I would still think it is too little."
Rice has raised ungrateful people, hasn’t it?
Dimitri's hovercraft crossed the border at around four o'clock in the morning on June 18th. The border station on the Chinese side had been notified and therefore did not take any obstruction, so the hovercraft was able to enter the Fuyuan Wharf peacefully.
A temporary shed was built at the dock in advance, and the hovercraft entered the shed as soon as it arrived at the dock. People outside had no idea what it was.
Dimitri is a pretty capable guy. He drove a hovercraft weighing over 500 tons here with just himself and two other people.
not simple!
After hearing that the Soviet Union would bring some messy stuff this time, Old Man An and Zhu Guoxiong recruited some domestic military experts.
Wan Feng entered this tent with these military experts.
Originally, he was not qualified to come in, but he was responsible for pricing. Without experts like him, people might have been paid more.
Dimitri also arrived here after breakfast and opened the landing door at the front of the hovercraft.
The first thing that catches your eye and is the most eye-catching thing is the two square launch tubes. These two launch tubes are probably the basalt and the eye-gouging knife.
There was no sign of the missile, obviously the missile was loaded in the launch tube.
Apart from these two things, the most numerous are probably various types of artillery, with more than ten pieces in total, ranging from howitzers to mortars.
These things are not the equipment that China urgently needs.
However, there are a few things that China does not have, such as surface-to-surface missile launchers. China has never been equipped with such things.
There are also RPG29 rocket launchers, RPG43 grenades, and various small radars.
Originally, Wan Feng was very worried that Dmitry would bring some messy things from the Soviet Union, but now it seems that this worry was unnecessary.
Dimitri didn't bring any crazy stuff here. Maybe they knew that some of the weapons made by their army were nonsense.
To put it nicely, the Soviet Union's man-made weapons were imaginative. In Wan Feng's words, they were super-human.
They want to make orders one by one, but they can't move the sharp buttocks.
They had some stuff like the Project 279 nuclear war tank, the 2A3 nuclear cannon, the KV-VI, the Soviet Land Cruiser, and so on.
These things were just made on a whim, and they have no purpose other than to scare people.
As for that nuclear cannon, let alone firing it, Wan Feng was worried that it would even fall over while walking.
If Dimitri brings these things to you, he will at most give you the price of scrap metal, otherwise you can take them back.
Except for the eye-gouging knife, the rest of these equipment are really not of much value. Even if China is backward, it is not by much.
It seems that apart from those big, black and clunky things, there is nothing worth messing around with in the Soviet Union.
So much for what can be carried on a hovercraft.
Wan Feng promised that as long as Dimitri brought the goods, he would give him a satisfactory price.
But how much does Wan Feng pay for these things?
