Xu Nanxing was shocked, "You mean... Russia, no, the Soviet Union!"
What Xu Nanxing remembers most about the Soviet Union is that it collapsed in 1991.
During this period, the Soviet economy collapsed and all kinds of daily necessities were in short supply.
There are rumors online that clothing such as leather jackets and jeans can be sold at ten times the price, while food, accommodation and transportation are incredibly cheap.
During this period, many Chinese people living near China and the Soviet Union would bring large amounts of supplies and sell them to the Soviet Union, making a fortune!
This was the famous "smuggler" at that time.
The most famous one is that there was a "smuggler" who was rumored to have exchanged 500 trucks of canned food for 4 airplanes.
This can be called a legendary experience!
Xu Nanxing has read many novels from the 1980s and 1990s, which describe the act of going to the Soviet Union to resell supplies.
The collapse of the Soviet Union at that time was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make money!
In fact, the Soviet Union was a true heavy industrial country.
During the Cold War, the Soviet Union was in a state of war preparedness all year round, focusing on the development of heavy industry, so its light industry was very backward.
The shortage of daily necessities in the late Soviet Union was inevitable.
Things like bread, soap, toothpaste, toilet paper, ready-made clothes, laundry detergent, matches, sugar and cotton thread were all in short supply!
In fact, China is also very short of these things now, but we carried out reform and opening up in time, and things have been getting better and better since then, becoming the world's second largest economy!
That was completely different from the Soviet Union, which had to disintegrate later!
When Xu Nanxing reads novels, he is attracted by the protagonist's behavior of running to the border to resell supplies!
Really, no matter what you bring there, you can easily make a lot of money.
If you make money when the trend is right, even a pig can fly!
At that time, many speculators made their first fortune. In the subsequent period of rapid national development, they followed the pace of national reform and gradually grew into wealthy people.
Anyway, there were so many legendary stories at that time!
This made Xu Nanxing want to take the supplies in her space to the Soviet Union to sell?
After all, she has so many supplies!
She didn't dare to sell supplies in large quantities in China, but when she went abroad, she didn't need to be so cautious. Of course, she could sell off supplies at a high price!
Unfortunately, it’s still very early!
It is only 1975 now, and there are still more than 10 years before the collapse of the Soviet Union!
Xu Nanxing could only suppress this thought temporarily.
But what surprised her was that Zhang Luyao was now setting his sights on her?
Xu Nanxing smacked his lips and said, "You're not planning on attacking the Soviet Union right now, are you? Wait, you know we're on bad terms with the Soviet...Soviet revisionists! We're both done with each other now, it's a little early for you to be thinking of this!"
The word "Soviet Union" is still a taboo word in the current domestic policies, and is generally referred to as "Soviet revisionism."
(“Soviet revisionism” stands for “Soviet revisionism,” which refers to Soviet hegemony and revisionism, or social imperialism. The term refers to the Soviet Union’s deviation from Marxism.)
It was a little unsafe for Xu Nanxing to talk to Zhang Luyao about the Soviet Union now.
Fortunately, their factory is located in a remote area and there are not many people here.
They are now talking at the factory gate, with a wide view, and the surrounding situation can be easily seen at a glance.
Xu Nanxing's five senses were also very strong. She was always paying attention to the movements around her to ensure that her conversation with Zhang Luyao would not be overheard. Then she continued:
"You want to be a profiteer too?"
Zhang Luyao is a successful businessman and must be familiar with many business cases and stories.
She must also know something about the activities of "smugglers" on the Soviet border.
This "smuggler" business can indeed still make money, but how many years will that be?
"What do you have to resell? Don't forget, we're still in the planned economy era! Are you planning to sell dried tofu to the Soviet Union?"
The planned economy period was actually a seller's market.
If you have something in your hand, you can sell it and make money!
Even within ten or twenty years after the opening, this situation remained the same!
Many people who got rich in the 1990s also made their initial accumulation by purchasing and selling goods. This was because many things were easy to sell at that time and the market demand was large, so they made money and developed later.
But the prerequisite is that you have to have something to sell!
Besides, isn’t this a bit too early?
We may have to wait another 10 to 20 years!
"And you have to wait until at least the mid-to-late 1980s! Back then, everything was in short supply there, and we could make a fortune selling anything!"
"Right now... there are massive military deployments on the border between the two countries, and armed clashes occur from time to time! You'd better give up this idea!"
It would be fine if the two countries just ignored each other, Xu Nanxing could still think of secretly driving and smuggling into the Soviet Union to sell things.
Anyway, she hasn’t had the chance to drive the Mercedes-Benz G550 super luxury SUV that she traded from the Doomsday Boss last time!
And the Northeast is not too far from the Soviet Union!
It must be fun to drive this luxury off-road vehicle in the wild!
But now there are troops deployed on the borders of both countries. Even if she had ten times the courage, she wouldn't dare to do it!
That's no joke!
She's not someone who values money over life!
She still cherishes her life!
Zhang Luyao also frowned slightly. It would be really troublesome if these two countries became enemies!
The market needs mutual circulation!
It is really unwise for both parties to not communicate with each other.
Zhang Luyao heard this and said helplessly: "I am planning to go to the Soviet Union, but not now! With our small broken factory, we only produce a few plates of tofu every day. It's useless for me to make plans! How can I sell the tofu we produce to the Soviet Union? I just want to make plans for the future first! The current situation of the Soviet Union is the same as ours. It also implements a planned economy. It's only because of the economic collapse in the later period that people pay attention to it. In fact, the situation over there is not much better now! They are also short of everything. It's a pity that the situation here is not much better. Otherwise, we can just get some things to sell over there, and we will definitely make a lot of money!"
"However, it was precisely because the Soviet Union had abundant energy production that it could earn a large amount of US dollars from exporting oil, and thus support the national economy through imports! However, history has proven that this is not a long-term solution, otherwise it would not have collapsed!"
Xu Nanxing reluctantly reminded: "Given the current situation between our two countries, we can't go!"
"I'm telling you this now so we can communicate with you in advance! Our future target customers will be the Soviet Union. As long as they can still produce oil, we can definitely make money!"
