Especially on Sheng Xiping's side, Sheng Liancheng knew that his eldest son was leading his relatives in Heihe to do business with the Russians.
Sheng Liancheng was afraid that something might happen to them and he wouldn't be able to explain it to the other families, so he naturally wanted to find out as much detail as possible.
"Dad, don't worry, business is doing well. Border trade is just starting out, and the Russians are short of everything."
"One bottle of strong liquor here can be traded for a pair of binoculars or a pair of big leather boots for them; the profit margin is quite high. We've been doing this for about a month before the New Year, and everyone's made a good amount of money."
Sheng Xiping smiled and explained the border trade to his father and brothers.
The four men were dumbfounded. They never imagined that they could exchange liquor and canned goods for steel and timber.
Good grief, this is like a joke! When did making money become so easy?
"Brother, could you contact them over there and exchange some machinery or machine tools for something?"
Although the machine tools in Russia can't keep up with those in the US and Japan, they are still much more advanced than those in China.
"Our country is developing and we lack everything. Foreign countries are embargoing us on high-end machine tools and such," Sheng Xikang said excitedly, his face full of earnestness.
Sheng Xiping had heard a little about this.
In order to limit the development of opposing camps, some developed capitalist countries have established a coordinating committee.

Our country is on the restricted list, so we can't buy advanced machine tools from abroad, especially CNC machine tools, which are simply unavailable.
Sheng Xikang now works at the Ministry of Finance. Although machinery and machine tools are not under his jurisdiction, he has heard a lot about them and knows about the current predicament.
Today, seeing a glimmer of hope in his own brother's presence, Sheng Xikang was naturally thrilled.
"Brother, don't worry. As long as you can help make the contact, someone will help you figure out the rest. You definitely won't suffer any losses."
Upon hearing this, Sheng Xiping sighed, "Third brother, it's not that this matter can't be done, it's that we can't rush it."
Your brother's business is just beginning. My partners aren't at a high enough level to access anything too advanced.
You know, machinery and machine tools aren't easy to find. Give me some time, and we'll take it one step at a time.
