Li Yuan hung up the phone. He was still very satisfied with the performance of Zhang Xi and Lucina.
Through the relationship with the Magic City Materials Bureau, the first batch of 3,000 square meters of wood was snatched away. And they also said - we will take as much as you have. As long as a part of the profit is left for the tertiary industry of the Magic City Materials Bureau
, the entire Yangtze River Delta region has an almost unlimited market!
In the early 1990s, this was the last period of material shortage in the country. Especially raw materials such as steel, non-ferrous metals, oil, and wood, almost everything was in short supply.
If you put it a few decades later, this will seem like a joke. For example: steel, just a city in Tang Dynasty, can almost defeat the whole world. So it is not surprising at all. However, in this era, these materials are all
In-demand goods are even more valuable than cash.
Don’t think this statement is an exaggeration. If you have experience in that era, you should know that it gave rise to countless approval documents and frauds, and indeed many people found the first pot of gold.
At that time, in almost all public phone booths, there were always a few people: "...I have 100,000 tons of rebar (tri-plywood, aluminum ingots) here, the price per ton..., we charge per ton...
Introduction fee! The introduction fee is paid in cash!”
Anyway, those aunties looking at the phone are cursing mmp in their hearts! These birdies haven’t made a few successful deals. (laughing and crying)
Okay! If you really have connections and energy, will they go to public phone booths?
But having said that, you can imagine how crazy people were doing business at that time and how in short supply these supplies were.
Why does this phenomenon occur? The reasons are very complicated. I won’t go into details about the dual-track system. Everyone should know it.
Of course, there is another very important reason - due to the booming domestic market economy, domestic raw material production is no longer sufficient, resulting in a huge gap.
So what should we do?
If we wait a few decades, everyone may be able to give an easy answer: Then import it!
However, during this period, if you want to import? There is a foreign exchange problem that you absolutely cannot get around!
Theoretically speaking, if you import goods in this era, there are actually no obstacles. As long as they are not strictly controlled goods, any goods can be imported after paying tariffs and other fees. But the bad thing is that the soft currency cannot be freely exchanged.
You must know that in international trade, there are still relatively few pure imports or pure exports. Domestic countries know about foreign exchange control, don’t foreign countries know about it? Therefore, if you import some goods, you must hope to export some local goods.
For example: timber, or the previous seafood. The country does agree to import, but it will only pay with soft coins. If you want to exchange it for foreign currency? Sorry! Not at all. So over time, importers will have a large number of soft coins in their hands.
currency. They cannot purchase foreign goods at all, and such import trade cannot continue.
This is the situation in the country at this time. On the one hand, several large foreign exchange earners have a large amount of foreign exchange in their hands, but they would rather deposit it in the bank than release it; on the other hand, some importers have a large amount of soft currency in their hands, but they
There is no way to exchange foreign currency.
As a result, the black market price of foreign exchange increased abnormally, reaching an exaggerated U.S. dollar exchange rate of 1:10.
We have to wait until next year, that is, in 1993, when domestic foreign exchange exchange will begin to be limited. That is to say, a foreign exchange exchange center will be established in Hong Kong, providing a channel for internal adjustments.
There is no doubt that this is good governance, which can make full use of foreign exchange resources. It will no longer happen like before - the rich will die rich and the poor will die poor.
Anyway, the whole country is in a game of chess. As long as the overall trade surplus is controlled, there is no need for a certain company to ensure a trade surplus like before. This also stimulates the rapid growth of import and export trade.
It can also correct the distorted foreign exchange quotation. In a short period of time, it fell back to a U.S. dollar exchange rate of less than 1:8.
So, this is a very bad era for others. They know that there is a shortage of wood in the country, but they don’t dare to import it? It’s useless to get those soft coins.
But for Li Yuan? He doesn't care about this at all. In his eyes, Ruanmei coins are more valuable than the US dollar. As long as they can be sold.
This resulted in the fact that only Li Yuan dared to do it, and his handiwork became bigger and bigger...
…
Two GAZ trucks loaded with goods drove into Baixi Town, attracting a group of children to chase them. A large group of people jumped on the truck and loaded and unloaded the goods to the ground hand in hand. In the cab, several dark and thin men
The thin Chinese got out of the car and observed the surrounding situation with a complicated expression.
Among those Chinese, the leader was named Ye Yaohua. He came from Hu Jian and was one of the first domestic businessmen to enter the African continent.
Since Hu Jian is divided into seven parts by mountains, two by water and one by land, it has always been a poor coastal area with less land and more people. Therefore, the local area has a tradition of venturing overseas. Some go to Southeast Asia, some immigrate to other countries, and some simply go abroad to do business.
It has even lasted for hundreds of years. Therefore, overseas, Hu Jianren has already formed his own network of fellow villagers.
It should be said that such a network does have advantages, at least there are fellow villagers to take care of you in a foreign country; but it also has certain disadvantages. For the sake of internal cohesion, it is relatively closed to the outside world. Generally, it is in the small circle of Hu Jianren.
Relatively speaking, Ye Yaohua can be regarded as someone who has "seen the world" because he is a veteran and has comrades in the army from all over the country, so he doesn't care much about regional concepts.
A few days ago, after his elder friends from the same hometown came to the African continent, Ye Yaohua took the initiative to open up new markets. Finally, he heard that there were many opportunities in Central Africa, so he took a few people and a batch of goods with him and never looked back.
Arrive at Thorkill.
It should be said that Ye Yaohua is quite satisfied with the business environment here in Sokil. The only thing that worries him is the Y (Africa) company. They are also businessmen from China and have sufficient supply of goods. It is not a small business at all.
Noisy?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! mmp! How can we compete? Why should the Chinese embarrass the Chinese?
Fortunately, y (Africa) only does wholesale business. After proactive contact, y (Africa) was also willing to provide wholesale services to Ye Yaohua and others, and they got a lot of... leftovers.
Having said that, although it is just scraps, it is indeed a relatively popular product in Sokil. Especially since it saves you the trouble of domestic procurement and consignment, you can make quite a lot of money in the end.
However, as Hu Jianren, they are not willing to be subordinate to others. Ye Yaohua and the others have already made a decision. Once the principal is raised, they will sooner or later conduct such wholesale business, occupy the entire sales chain, and earn every penny.
However, at this moment, Ye Yaohua and the others suddenly received an invitation. Y (Africa) was preparing to open up new markets in Central Africa? And they hoped to cooperate with new and old friends?
With doubts, Ye Yaohua and others hurried to Baixi Town...
…
But as soon as they got off the car, they heard bursts of screams, which startled Ye Yaohua and the others.
I saw several soldiers carrying rifles on their backs. They dragged a struggling black young man and threw him directly into a... it should be a military camp, right?
Behind those soldiers, several women, children, the elderly and the weak were crying, as sad as if they were parting from life or death...
What's happening?
Finally someone couldn't help it: "Brother Yaohua, are you trying to attract young men? Aren't you asking us to do business?"
"Is there going to be a war here?"
"Fuck! What are they going to do?"
"..."
Ye Yaohua was relatively calm. He quickly observed around and found that the civilians here seemed to be used to it. They were all pointing, talking and laughing at such scenes, without any appearance of fear.
And it also gives people a very strange feeling. There is no laziness that is unique to the African continent at all. It seems that everyone is busy, and there is always a feeling of doing something big?
"Let's take a look again! I heard that Y's boss Li is here. He is also from China, so he won't harm us, right?"
Before he finished speaking, Ye Yaohua and the others saw several men in suits with briefcases rushing out of the door. But before they could run a few steps, they were dragged back into the house by a group of laughing black men. Then a whistle came out, and a group of beautiful black girls
As they swarmed in, they could faintly hear bursts of screams...
⊙?⊙⊙?⊙⊙?⊙……
…
While Ye Yaohua and the others were trembling, Harden happily came to Li Yuan. He snapped his fingers proudly: "Brother, it's all done! Those souls in the bank still want to take advantage of me? I let them
The little bird can’t fly for a month! Hahaha!”
Li Yuan simply didn't care about Harden's cool moves.
This is the advantage of the local snake. If it were Yutou'ao Village, Li Yuan would also show off his extraordinary martial arts skills, which would leave a deep impression on everyone.
Besides, do you really think that the bank will suffer losses? If they are not optimistic about this loan, why would they send people to Baixi Town?
"Fakeyu! Harden! Fakeyu! Lee! Are you devils?"
Someone in the room was roaring, but along with the laughter of a group of women, there was soon a sound of applause...
Turning around, Li Yuan finally saw Ye Yaohua and the others. He smiled and waved: "Are you Boss Ye? Welcome to White Rhinoceros Town!"

…
Occam comes from a war-torn area in Central Africa. After many hardships, his family finally escaped from their regional hometown and came to the Republic of Vera.
Although he was penniless, Occam still felt that he was a lucky man. At least there was no war or famine here, and at least it could accommodate refugees like himself. And by climbing mountains and wading all the way, his old mother, wife and a pair of children were able to survive.
Safe and sound. What else is there to be dissatisfied about?
At this refugee gathering point, the Occam family was given a tent and some living supplies. I heard that they would be able to obtain the citizenship of the Republic of Vera in the future, and I heard that the tribal chief here was a kind-hearted person.
Occam and the others have no psychological barriers to joining other tribes. They just want to work to earn money and give their family a good life.
You know, like the tribes on the African continent, they are not like civilized societies, and many people have distorted views.
Since there is no education or writing, their knowledge is spread by word of mouth, and it all comes from tribal chiefs, elders, wizards and other high-level officials. In other words, if the tribe is suddenly merged or disappears, that kind of word of mouth transmission will be gone.
, that is, the era of knowledge.
This is not like a civilized society, where at least there are words and deeds from people around you, and at least there is the spread of morals and social customs.
Therefore, they have a very blind faith in tribal leaders. Things that we find inexplicable seem normal to them.
In particular, there is no obstacle to the recognition of this identity. So after arriving here, Occam already considered himself a member of the Haden tribe.
Now that they have become the same tribe, Occam and others are completely unsuspecting.
However, something unexpected happened today. A group of soldiers broke into the refugee gathering place. They specially selected mature men, and then captured a nearby... It should be a military camp, right?
Just when Occam and the others were hiding in the tent and the whole family was shivering, several burly men broke into the tent and dragged him out without saying a word...
At this moment, Occam thought of the tragic situation in his hometown. Many people were captured by the soldiers and forced to fight, and then their families were destroyed.
Hearing the family members behind him crying, Occam also screamed in horror. Unexpectedly, we had just left the wolf's den and entered the tiger's den again. Our lives were really miserable!
Oh my god, are you a bunch of devils?
Occam was crying so hard that he almost peed from fear. Until he was thrown into a large tent in the military camp and found that there were already dozens of Central Africans like him inside. They all looked panicked.
, squatting on the ground obediently.
Fortunately, Occam had also experienced war. He immediately followed the example of the others and crouched in the corner with his head lowered.
At this time, he heard the soldier who captured him joking: "Here comes another one, $0! Haha."
"You guys hurry up and catch a few more before it gets dark."
"..."
The group of soldiers ran out happily, leaving behind a black aunt with a bucket waist, a black man in a suit and ties, and several people with guns.
The black aunt glanced around: "Hello! My name is Kunkun. Congratulations, you got a job!"
"Work?" Occam was even more frightened. Isn't it just to fight as a soldier? If we wanted to fight, who the hell would escape to your Republic of Vera?
"Okay! Let's talk about the rules first. You need to sign a contract and work for us for twenty years. After signing the contract, you can receive a house and many daily necessities. The first month is for new employees.
During the training period, you can only receive a subsidy of 1,000 CFA francs. Now hurry up and get in line! Send the money!"
