"Brother, I need to discuss something with you?" Long-distance calls are quite expensive, and Sheng Xiping couldn't keep chatting with Guo Shouye, so he got back to the main topic.
Although it was called a meal, most of the time was actually spent drinking. In the end, Alexander and his companions were all drunk, staggering and swaying as they walked.
So they immediately mobilized funds, and Wu Bingzhong led a large group of people directly to Heihe.
Seeing this, Sheng Xiping simply arranged rooms for them to rest at the Longjiang Hotel.
With only two years and a few months left until the collapse of the Soviet Union, it seems we should hurry up and grab as much good stuff as possible.
So Sheng Xiping quickly called the relevant factories to order equipment and machinery, and called Wu Yucheng to ask him to contact the sugar factory as soon as possible, etc.
Alexander and his companions accepted the invitation without hesitation.
"Oh, Sheng, my dear friend, you're too kind. We can buy it ourselves."
In the six shopping malls that have already been built, there are vending machines for beverages and Coca-Cola machines in the rooftop dining and leisure areas.
As for the other half of the supplies, the Soviet side provided the list, and we will gradually send the goods over.
Coca-Cola concentrate is only one part of the production of Coca-Cola. There are also production equipment, Coca-Cola machines, and so on, all of which Sheng Xiping has to coordinate.
"Yes, yes, Sheng, we can arrange this. We can build a few more factories in the Far East, and then we can just transport the concentrate. You can also save on packaging materials."
Alexander and his colleagues had been doing business with Sheng Xiping for so long that they had learned a basic understanding of Chinese.
So your Iceberg Cola sells very well in the Far East.
According to Sheng Xiping, Pepsi entered Russia in the 1970s and established its first Coca-Cola factory in Novorossiysk on the Black Sea coast.
"Sure, sure, Sheng. If this cooperation goes through, whatever you want to exchange, we'll help you with it."
"When I go to Moscow in the future, you will treat me the same way," Sheng Xiping laughed and explained to Alexander and the others.
Unexpectedly, Guo Shouye had taken his men to Guangzhou to attend the Spring Trade Fair. Sheng Xiping could only wait until evening to contact Guo Shouye again.
Finally, Sheng Xiping took them to a supermarket.
"Alright, cheers to our shared future. Harasho."
Having collaborated so many times, the two parties have developed a strong rapport, making business deals a natural fit without much effort.
“Ivan, Andrei, I cannot answer you about this immediately, because I do not have the Coca-Cola formula.”
Sheng Xiping immediately called Guo Shouye to discuss the matter.
"Okay, I'll go back and contact the person in charge to try my best to make this happen, is that alright?"
Just then, the river thawed, and trade in Heihe was suspended.
The factory's production capacity is limited, while Sheng Xiping's Coca-Cola orders have always been substantial, so it's probably impossible to have both.
"I remember PepsiCo built a lot of factories in your area, right? They should have this too, right?" Sheng Xiping asked, puzzled.
Nowadays, Russia is short of money and supplies everywhere. Those at the top are so desperate that they would sell off their entire fortune to get US dollars.
The two parties reached a verbal agreement to sign a formal supply contract after Guo Shouye and Sheng Xiping returned to Songjianghe.
Since Sheng Xiping had already invited them, why would he care about such a small amount of money? He immediately said that Alexander and the others could buy whatever they wanted, and he would pay for it.
"Brother, let me tell you, this time we're really in for a treat."
Coca-Cola machines have been around for many years. Since there are Coca-Cola factories in Russia, there should be Coca-Cola machines there too.
Guo Shouye's Iceberg Beverage Factory was running its production line almost 24/7 in order to supply Sheng Xiping.
Sheng Xiping invited these people over with the intention of finding some good stuff, but he hadn't said it out loud yet.
"Brother Guo, I just found out you went to Guangzhou again. How was it? How much foreign exchange did you earn this year?"
They could understand most of what Sheng Xiping said, and for the parts they didn't understand, there was a translator to explain.
They are all wealthy people who exchanged a lot of money when they entered the country. Why would they need Sheng Xiping to pay for their things?
"This order you requested is too large. The factories that originally supplied us with sugar can't keep up with the demand," Guo Shouye made a request.
"Come on, Sheng, let's drink to our shared future, Harasho."
Subsequently, under Sheng Xiping's coordination, the two parties finalized the transaction plan.
The group spent a long time shopping in the mall, buying many gifts for their families. Afterwards, Sheng Xiping took them to the top floor to rest and have a meal.
"Brother, this business is feasible, but there's one problem: we don't have enough sugar."
Sheng Xiping never expected that Ivanov would actually take a liking to this machine.
As for Sheng Xiping, his business is growing bigger and bigger, he's making more and more money, and he's getting busier and busier.
The cola concentrate was sold by the ton to Tengyue Company, which then resold it to Andre and others.
"Ivan, you said it yourself, let's start with something that flies in the sky."
Guo Shouye was dumbfounded when he heard this, as he didn't understand any of these things.
Twenty-four Su-27s were delivered in two batches, just like last time, flying directly to Heihe Airport, where they were inspected and payment was made.
When they heard that they also needed Su-27s, and at least twenty or so, they were very happy and agreed immediately.
At that moment, Ivanov noticed something. "Sheng, can we order this machine? At least a thousand units for the first batch."
Around 1982, Coca-Cola factories also appeared in cities such as Moscow, Leningrad, and Kiev.
Alexander and the others shook their heads upon hearing this.
