This time Xu Huizhen didn't come with her, so it was much easier to talk about things.
"As I said a long time ago, I can eat as much as you can transport."
Vladimir said confidently that the market in the Soviet Union is indeed that big.
"Yes, I believe you can eat it, but it also depends on what products you want me to transport back. I can't fool me with all the broken steel."
"Boss Fan, Xueru, I have not been idle during this period. I have contacted many factories and companies, and they have a lot of equipment and products to sell. You guys have a rest first, and then I will take you over to take a look.
"Vladimir said.
Fan Jinyou and Chen Xueru rested in the hotel for one day, and then Fan Jinyou and Vladimir went to the suburban factory together.
Chen Xueru mostly stayed in Moscow and went to the Moscow trading market with Irina.
Learn about the real-time prices of various goods at this wholesale market located northeast of Moscow.
It was the main gathering place for small traders from various countries who came to the Soviet Union to do barter business.
"Vladimir, you are no longer a man with a certain amount of capital. You don't have to take me to see these fertilizers, tractors, etc. If you make sure that I need these materials, you can buy them first and find them."
Store it in a warehouse to save your time and my time. With this time, you can barter one more time and make up for any loss."
Fan Jinyou said to Vladimir that Vladimir did not lie and had contacted many sources of goods.
But after looking at the factories one by one, he found no surprising products, which made Fan Jinyou very impatient.
However, it is still very difficult to exchange materials in large quantities for dollars and francs.
The reason why the transaction was so troublesome was that Vladimir was reluctant to exchange all the cash in his hand.
"No problem. Next time I have these, I will collect them first and store them in the warehouse in Moscow."
Vladimir agreed very readily, but whether he can do it or not is not certain.
When public security is poor, it is not an easy task to take good care of a warehouse that stores materials worth millions.
Fan Jinyou followed Vladimir outside for half a month, and after ordering all the goods, he returned to Moscow.
Seeing Xu Huizhen walking out of the hotel, Fan Jinyou stayed in place in surprise, not thinking of what to say for a moment.
"Fan Jinyou, why, I don't recognize him anymore."
"Xu Huizhen, when did you come?"
"I came here yesterday. You and Xueru have been in Moscow for so long and you still won't go back. As an in-law, I was worried about you, so I flew over here." Xu Huizhen said with a smile.
The reason she gave was quite high-sounding, but it couldn't hide Xu Hui's real purpose. She just wanted to find out business intelligence and what Fan Jinyou and Chen Xueru were doing in Moscow.
"This is not the first time we have come to Moscow. What is there to worry about? I have to trouble you to fly here. How can you make Xueru and I feel embarrassed like this?"
The reason was fair enough, and Fan Jinyou also had to cooperate with Chen Xueru in performing.
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Just tell me what you and Vladimir did when you went out."
"What can I do? Go out with Vladimir to experience the farm life of Soviet farmers."
There was nothing truthful in Xu Huizhen's mouth, so when Fan Jinyou tried to fool Xu Huizhen, he would just tell lies without any burden.
"Oh, tell me about your experience. How is the life of farmers in the Soviet Union?"
"It goes without saying that the most lacking thing in the Soviet Union is food, so you should know what it is like."
After simply dealing with Xu Huizhen, Fan Jinyou used the excuse of being tired and went back to the room to rest. It was quite boring to deal with Xu Huizhen in vain.
When Chen Xueru and Xu Huizhen came back from having tea, Fan Jinyou asked.
"What's going on with Xu Hui?"
"I don't know either. He came here suddenly yesterday and I only called Elena when I got to Moscow. I was also surprised when I saw the person." Chen Xueru said.
"She's launching a surprise attack on us!"
"You and Vladimir were not here yesterday. She will definitely wonder what you two were doing when you went out."
"She might ask Vladimir now."
"Can Vladimir still help us hide it?"
"That might be difficult, not to mention the special relationship between the two people. Of course Vladimir hopes Xu Huizhen, the bigger the barter volume, the better, and the more types of goods he is willing to trade, the better."
Vladimir is also a businessman now, and his reputation is really difficult to guarantee in the face of interests.
The last time I was able to keep Fan Jinyou a secret was because the barter for other products had not yet been completed.
Even if I tell Xu Huizhen, Xu Huizhen is not interested.
There are no ready-made examples. The only products Xu Huizhen likes are cars and motorcycles.
The situation is different now. Fan Jinyou has already made a batch of machine tools.
If you can make money, it is possible for Xu Huizhen to follow suit.
It’s not surprising that Vladimir confessed everything under Xu Huizhen’s “forced questioning”.
"Will Xu Huizhen stop insisting that Barter only make cars and motorcycles?"
"Then it's hard to say. Xu Hui is really so brave. I don't know what she doesn't dare to do. It just depends on whether she dares to do it or not."
"Then Xu Huizhen must do it. This Xu Huizhen has always said that whatever I want to do, she will do."
What Chen Xueru said is indeed true, but it still misses half of the truth. Whatever Xu Hui really wants to do, Chen Xueru will do the same.
"Even if Xu Hui really wants to do it, it will be a matter of bartering next time."
…
The next day when Fan Jinyou and Chen Xueru were eating in the restaurant, Xu Huizhen also sat over and said:
"Cadre Fan, will the machine tools shipped back from the Soviet Union be easy to sell in China? Will the furs shipped back make you a huge profit?"
"The machine tool is good, and it uses good iron and steel. After it is sent to the steel factory to be melted, the steel is really easy to sell. Where do we make money from the fur? The company's clothing factory just needs it, so we transport it back to the clothing factory.
"Last time, there was a lot of goods shipped, so we couldn't change them into US dollars and take them back. We were willing to do it, but the Soviet Union couldn't agree to it," Fan Jinyou said.
Countries with small foreign exchange reserves have foreign exchange control policies. It is okay to take a small amount of foreign exchange out of the country, but you cannot take out a large amount of foreign exchange at all.
It’s not that Fan Jin didn’t want to, he sent the goods directly and then exchanged them for US dollars to take back.
Such a transaction is simple and fast, and Fan Jinyou wishes his business could be done like this.
Being a bad guy and using barter is not only to maximize profits, but also a helpless choice because you can't take the money back.
