Chapter 533 Big Toy
Zhou Qinglan and Sheng Xiping stayed in the provincial capital for a few days. After the meeting, Zhou Qinglan returned to Songjianghe, while Sheng Xiping drove straight to Harbin.
When choosing the location for the branch factory, Zhou Mingyuan and Sheng Xiping considered many factors and finally decided on Tieli Forestry Bureau in Yichun.
The main reason is that this place is not too far from Harbin, and the transportation is more convenient than in Heihe.
Heihe has already benefited from border trade, so the higher authorities are unlikely to give Heihe another good opportunity to invest in and build factories.
On October 14th, the branch factory held a groundbreaking ceremony.
Many officials from the province and Yichun came to show their support, and forestry bureaus from various parts of Heilongjiang Province also sent people over. Wu Yucheng even came all the way from Shenzhen.
The groundbreaking ceremony was grand and solemn, and Sheng Xiping also used this opportunity to build closer relationships with the leaders of various forestry bureaus.
For the construction of the branch factory, Sheng Xiping found the best engineering and construction company in Harbin.
Thanks to Sino-Soviet trade, a large number of construction machines entered the country, making construction much faster than before.
Various machines are working day and night on the construction site to try to erect the main structure of the workshop before the ground freezes.
In this way, the two sides easily reached a business agreement, and then they could drink and celebrate without worry.
"President Sheng, this shows the models and prices of the Su-27, as well as the MiG series fighter jets and the T-80 series main battle tanks."
Sheng Xiping was entrusted to order another batch of machine tools, this time with a more complete range of models.
Several days later, Alexander replied, inviting Sheng Xiping and others to a small gathering in Chita.
"Long time no see, my friends." Sheng Xiping and Wu Yucheng returned the hug warmly.
The staff in Heihe take turns on leave to go home and visit their families before returning to Harbin or Manzhouli to continue working.
The Yu brothers are steady and meticulous in their work, and they have now gained experience, so Sheng Xiping has nothing to worry about.
Wu Bingzhong hung up the phone and immediately reported to his superiors, which immediately alarmed the highest levels of government.
Alexander didn't even glance at the procurement list; he simply waved his hand and agreed.
Keep in mind, the Su-27 only entered service in 1985, so how can it be put up for sale now?
It was already late October, and the upper reaches of the Heilongjiang River had begun to freeze over, while ice flakes were also forming in the middle and lower reaches, making the river unsuitable for navigation. Therefore, border trade in Heihe was suspended.
It was a distinctive Russian-style building, beautifully decorated, and even had servants inside, clearly befitting an aristocratic lifestyle.
Upon hearing this, Wu Bingzhong was so excited he almost jumped up. "I'll report it to my superiors right away. You guys wait over there."
Since it's a banquet, there will naturally be plenty of delicious food and wine. Most Russian men are good drinkers, so how could they not drink on such an occasion?
Alexander co-founded a trading company here and also bought property.
Sheng Xiping and the others were settled in rooms upstairs. In the evening, Alexander hosted a small banquet to entertain the guests from afar.
Before leaving, Alexander slipped a piece of paper into Sheng Xiping's pocket.
"Sheng, Wu, it's been a long time, friends." Alexander and the others greeted Sheng Xiping and his friends with great enthusiasm, embracing them warmly.
Sheng Xiping knew immediately that this guy had gotten his hands on something good again.
He carefully tucked the paper into his coat pocket and then gave Alexander a hug. "Looking forward to working together."
So Sheng Xiping, Wu Yucheng, and others completed their exit procedures, took a car to Manzhouli, and then crossed the border to Zabaikalsk, a small town on the border.
Fighter jets and main battle tanks—Sheng Xiping wouldn't dare handle these things casually. He had to get someone from the military involved.
After laying the foundation, Sheng Xiping and Wu Yucheng returned to Harbin and tried to contact Alexander and Ivanov.
Sheng Xiping and his group stayed in Chita for three days, and Alexander took them around to various places.
Alexander and Ivanov arranged for people to wait in the town and escort Sheng Xiping and his party to Chita City.
"Yu Cheng, quick, call your uncle right away. We can't make this decision."
"Holy crap, has Alexander gone mad? He'll sell anything!" Sheng Xiping and Wu Yucheng were also shocked when they heard this.
"Sheng, Wu, cheers to our friendship."
Upon returning to the company office in Manzhouli, Sheng Xiping immediately took out the paper to examine it.
Just tell Sheng Xiping to prepare the goods and US dollars, especially the cola, which needs to be purchased in large quantities this time.
As they drank, the group discussed their future collaboration plans.
The document was covered in Russian text and numbers, which Sheng Xiping couldn't understand, so he simply handed it to the translator.
When the banquet ended, everyone was drunk. Sheng Xiping and Wu Yucheng helped each other upstairs to their rooms to rest.
Wu Yucheng understood the importance of the matter, so he quickly called the capital.
Alexander and the others raised their glasses again and again, finding various reasons to toast.
Coca-Cola is no problem at all. Sheng Xiping has already made arrangements with Guo Shouye. They will produce as much as needed, so it won't cause any delays.
At the branch factory, Sheng Xiping arranged for many newly recruited veterans, and also transferred the brothers Yu Haibin and Yu Haiyang over.
The higher-ups held an emergency meeting and studied the matter all night. They finally decided to mobilize all available foreign exchange and, regardless of the conditions, secure the shipment.
"Sheng, I think you'll find what's written here interesting. If you need it, you can contact me, and we can discuss anything."
When the translator received the document, he was shocked.
Two days later, Wu Bingzhong, Elder Yang, and another leader, along with about ten people, arrived in Manzhouli and met with Sheng Xiping and Wu Yucheng.
