Sheng Xiping used his connections and gave many gifts to expedite the process, and his new identity was quickly processed.
From this moment on, Sheng Xiping became the general manager of Gangcheng Shengjing Trading Company, a true Hong Kong businessman.
After finishing his business in the port city, Sheng Xiping bought a mobile phone, which later became known as the "Big Brother".
At that time, many developed countries abroad already had mobile phones, and in 1987, Motorola had an office in the capital.
However, this thing is too expensive. Just buying the phone costs 20,000 yuan, and you also have to pay an additional 6,000 yuan for network access, so very few people buy it.
Having seen all kinds of mobile phones, Sheng Xiping initially thought this thing was too bulky, too outdated, and inconvenient to use, so he didn't buy it.
Now I don't care about those things anymore. I've bought everything I need, and it's convenient for me to travel around and do business.
Upon receiving the phone, Sheng Xiping immediately contacted Alexander.
Alexander told Sheng Xi
Ping said that after careful consideration, the leaders above felt that Sheng Xiping was a trustworthy partner, so they agreed to sell the semi-finished products to Sheng Xiping.
However, specific details regarding cooperation and pricing need to be discussed in person by Sheng Xiping in Moscow.
Sheng Xiping had anticipated this, so he agreed to Alexander's request and promised to bring his men to Moscow as soon as possible for a meeting.
And so, Sheng Xiping returned to Bingcheng after finishing his business, and just then, the things he needed were transported over from various places.
With everything prepared, Sheng Xiping, along with a large group of people and nearly a container of gifts, set off for Moscow.
This time, Chief Zhao arranged for Wu Bingzhong and several other leaders to accompany Sheng Xiping to Moscow.
If any problems arise that are inconvenient to report back for instructions, then Sheng Xiping and these people will discuss and decide on the matter.
After several days of travel, the train finally arrived in Moscow.
A special person came to greet them and settled Sheng Xiping and his group in. The container of goods was also stored in a warehouse.
Afterwards, accompanied by Alexander and Victor, Sheng Xiping first visited many Russian military and political figures.
These were the people he had met at Alexander's banquet during his previous visit to Moscow.
The conversation went quite well at the time.
Later, Sheng Xiping even visited him with gifts.
So this time, Sheng Xiping once again brought gifts to their door, and the other party was extremely polite to him.
Some people said directly that they would do their best to help Sheng Xiping if he needed anything.
Five days after Sheng Xiping arrived in Moscow, he finally met that important figure again.
This time, the important figure was much more polite to Sheng Xiping.
When Sheng Xiping proposed to buy that behemoth, the other party readily agreed, and the price they asked for was not high, twenty million US dollars.
Taking advantage of the boss's good mood, Sheng Xiping suggested that they could also exchange for another batch of military transport aircraft.
Keep in mind that there are only two years left until the collapse of Russia.
We need to seize this opportunity to fleece them as much as possible before they are dismantled, and deliver them back as soon as possible.
To avoid the trouble of legal battles and disputes that would ensue if the Soviet Union were to disintegrate.
As for how many supplies would be needed to exchange for so many large items, Sheng Xiping didn't even consider that.
Anyway, a lot of lice don't itch, and a lot of debt doesn't worry us. I don't believe that a country as big as ours can run out of supplies even if we go all out to produce.
Of course, Sheng Xiping didn't forget to give the other party a benefit: 10% of the transaction amount was transferred to a designated bank account.
The other party was very happy to see that Sheng Xiping was so cooperative. Since they had already sold so many planes, they figured that selling ten or eight more wouldn't make a difference, so they decided to sell them all together.
Not long after the important figure left, he arranged for someone to come and negotiate and sign a contract.
Thanks to the efforts of Sheng Xiping, Alexander, and others, the negotiations went very smoothly.
Shengjing Trading Company exchanged a large quantity of Coca-Cola concentrate, along with other various supplies, for a total of thirty retired submarines, cargo ships, and warships from the Russians.
In addition, there is order number 106 under construction, as well as six Tu-95s and four Il-76s.
As for the small boat dock and the literary genius in the sky that Old Yang mentioned, let's leave that for now and talk about it next time.
After the contract was signed, Sheng Xiping and his entourage, along with Alexander and others, traveled to Zaporizhzhia, the largest industrial city on the Black Sea coast.
At the same time, Sheng Xiping and others also contacted people in China and rushed to ship the goods here.
Sheng Xiping had done so many business deals with the Russians and had an excellent reputation, so they offered him very favorable terms.
Once half of the cargo is gathered, the fleet and the semi-finished products can be moved. As for the ten aircraft, that will have to wait a while.
Sheng Xiping also needs time to prepare.
Transporting so many large items back is no simple task.
Which route to take, how to get back, and where to stop after returning—all of these must be carefully planned, without the slightest mistake.
The semi-finished product, in particular, was too conspicuous. We had to coordinate with all the countries and regions it passed through along the way.
If something doesn't cooperate and gets stuck, it will cause a lot of trouble later.
Sheng Xiping, Wu Bingzhong, and others rushed to the Black Sea, inspected the submarines and destroyers on site, and even visited the unfinished ship.
Everyone in the group was incredibly excited, looking at this and touching that. The thought that such a huge thing was about to belong to them filled them with boundless anticipation for the future.
Compared to the excitement of Wu Bingzhong and others, Sheng Xiping was much calmer. He wasn't here for sightseeing; he was here to take care of business.
