Wan Feng did not argue with Dimitri about the price anymore. The Russians must have taken a huge risk in promising to deliver the goods to the Chinese coast.
Since the risk was so huge, he gave in. He couldn't say how much money he would get even if he kept arguing.
Synthesizing Chinese currency only costs a few thousand dollars, which is a complete waste of time.
Next we will discuss the method, time and place of the transaction.
The time was October 13th, ten days later, and the location was a ferry called Slow Guitar in Fuyuan County opposite Khabarovsk.
This location was chosen because there were no watchtowers on the Soviet side of the site.
So Wan Feng signed a purchase contract for 60 tons of soybeans with Dmitry.
The Soviet side used the name of Li Mingzhe Ulyanovsky Trading Company, and Wan Feng here randomly filled in a company name.
Dimitri's request was that after the goods arrived, they would first take the 500,000 supplies and then the cash.
Wan Feng was a little confused. Is it necessary to rank them in order?
Five hundred thousand rubles worth of the largest ruble in denominations of one thousand yuan only come in five bundles, which can be carried away in one pocket. Why bother with dividing them into batches?
Wan Feng didn't know what Maozi was up to.
But who cares? It's none of his business since the money will be paid by Shamilov. They can ask for it whenever they want.
After the contract was signed, Dimitri asked for a list of the supplies they needed.
Wan Feng won't play with you anymore, so Zhang Zhiyuan took over the task and accompanied Dimitri to the warehouse to make a list of supplies.
Wan Feng and Li Mingzhe were chatting in the room.
"Li Mingzhe, how did you get in touch with these Soviet military personnel?"
"I wasn't the one who made the contact. You told me not to do it myself, so I sent a reliable subordinate to do it. I hadn't originally planned to contact the military, but who knew that my subordinate's contact introduced him to the military. When my subordinate heard it was the military, he didn't dare to contact them at all, but the military took the initiative to come to him. You know, the Russians are simple and crude in their work. They arrested my subordinate directly. I was so scared that I was ready to run away, but my subordinate came back the next day and said that the Soviets forced him to buy it and he had to buy it. That's how it turned out."
Wan Feng was speechless after hearing this. How could such a thing happen? The military forced people to buy their weapons.
If the Soviet authorities knew about this, wouldn't it be subject to review by a military court?
"They also said that if this deal goes through, they can get whatever they want in the future."
As an ordinary citizen, Wan Feng was extremely puzzled by the collapse of the Soviet Union. How could such a large and prestigious empire collapse just like that?
He did not know the details of the collapse of the Soviet Union. When Yeltsin ordered the bombardment of the parliament, Wan Feng wondered where the Soviet Union's huge army had gone.
But what was happening before his eyes finally made him understand that the fall of the Soviet Union was not entirely the result of the deception of Western countries.
The decay within it had reached an unprecedented level, like a tree completely decayed by time, ready to fall down at the slightest disturbance.
Even the army guarding it has begun to rely on secretly reselling arms to make a living. What a shocking sight.
I guess in two years when Yeltsin bombards the parliament, the Soviet army will probably be watching and applauding.
Following this trend, it is not impossible for him to get back the Soviet submarines and Su-27!
At this moment, Wan Feng's heart finally moved.
Even though he didn't make as much money from trading these things as he did from trading steel, he was able to secretly bring the Kilo-class submarines and Su-27 back to China. Just thinking about it makes one's blood boil!
This is still secondary. It is no exaggeration to describe the national defense in the 1980s as poor and settled.
At that time, many soldiers in the army were transferred to civilian sectors, and the rest had to tighten their belts to make ends meet. Everything gave way to reform.
The weapons guarding the country's sky and seas were just some junk, which meant that China did not have any conflicts with foreign powers during those years.
If there is a conflict, it is impossible to defend the territory by relying on these backward equipment.
Wan Feng felt that what was important was that he could make some contribution to national defense.
However, submarines and airplanes are much larger than tanks, so it is very unrealistic to bring them back physically, but getting the blueprints is still possible.
Dimitri and Zhang Zhiyuan kept walking around in the warehouse.
Zhang Zhiyuan introduced the functions and prices of the products one by one. Dimitri listened carefully, and when he heard a product he thought was useful, he wrote it down carefully in his notebook.
We kept counting until it was getting dark before leaving.
The next day he came again and did the statistics for the whole morning and half the afternoon.
During lunch, this guy no longer competed with the Chinese people here in drinking. He hurriedly drank a few glasses of wine, ate a few mouthfuls of food, and then ran back into the warehouse.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon of that day, Dimitri finally finished the count. He kept one copy of the list for himself and hurried back with another copy.
Before leaving, he said he would go back and discuss it with his leader, and then confirm what goods they wanted on the day of delivery.
Dmitry and Li Mingzhe returned to the Soviet Union.
After seeing Dimitri off, Wan Feng looked at the list of supplies that he had compiled.
After Zhang Zhiyuan translated it, it also contained content on four sheets of A4 paper.
Wan Feng read it through and found that the list of goods listed by Dimitri was very diverse, with everything from hardware and electrical appliances to clothing, shoes, hats, daily necessities, as well as tobacco, alcohol, sugar and tea.
Wan Feng was completely confused. Is he going to take it back to open a department store?
He couldn't imagine how the army would deal with all the mess they had. Would they let the soldiers set up stalls on the streets?
Thinking of this, Wan Feng chuckled. If that were the case, the scene would be so beautiful.
Zhang Zhiyuan thought Wan Feng was having a brain attack and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
"Uncle! When you and Dimitri were counting these supplies, didn't you ask him what he was going to do with all of them?"
Zhang Zhiyuan shook his head: "How can I ask this? Don't you know that this guy is always nagging? He keeps nagging on and on. Even a good-tempered person like me is annoyed by his nagging."
"I just thought they weren't bringing these supplies back with the intention of asking the soldiers to set up stalls on the streets."
Zhang Zhiyuan also laughed: "You're really bold. If the army were to set up stalls on the streets, what would happen? If that happened, the Soviet Union would be on the verge of destruction."
Zhang Zhiyuan thought it was just a joke. Little did he know that four years later the Soviet Union would no longer exist.
After seeing off the Soviets, it was time for Wan Feng to take action. He called Han Guangjia, and then immediately drove Chen Dao straight to Sijitun.
Chen Dao still has to stay in Sijitun, so of course he has to be sent back.
