Because of Zhou Qingfeng's strong move, the long-distance freight train from the imperial capital to Moscow appeared in advance. Although there is cheaper sea transportation, train transportation with short transportation time cannot be given up.
After all, both Maozi and China are in urgent need of opening up economic liquidity in a short period of time.
There used to be a weekly K3 international passenger train in China, but now the railway department, which is eager to earn foreign exchange, has added a freight train every three days.
The freight locomotive is powerful, with each train carrying sixty carriages. Although it is slower, it can carry 3,500 tons at a time.
Ordinary traders can only rely on human flesh to carry goods, and one person can carry dozens of kilograms. The 'Holy Light' calculates goods in 'thousand tons'.
The railway department has already agreed that as long as the benefits are good, they can send trains once every two days, once a day, or even twice a day. As long as they can make money and earn foreign exchange, they can say anything.
This is the benefit of being generous. How could a poor guy like South Germany be able to leverage ministries and commissions to get so many trains?
When the young girl Megan was angry that the Holy Light rented the Il-76 fleet for smuggling, she got another even more unpleasant news - the freight train of the Holy Light had already clanged into the Yaroslav train in Moscow.
stand.
This train station was built in 1906 and is located in Komsomol Square. The station is small and has two iconic black spiers, which can be called a historical building.
As the representative of the 'Holy Light', Gong Wei is working with Chuikov's men to inspect the first shipment of 120 containers.
Since this was the first handover, there were not enough container cranes prepared at the station, so the loading and unloading speed was extremely slow. The workers at the station were also very unmotivated and could not unload a container in half a day.
But the civil servants of the Ministry of Aviation Industry were very satisfied. They randomly inspected five containers and found that the goods shipped were exactly the same as those on the manifest, and there were no problems with quality and quantity.
"Hahaha, Gong, this batch of textiles is good, very good." Maozi, who was inspecting the goods, temporarily occupied the waiting room and opened the piles of clothing one by one.
Passengers at the station gathered around one after another. Some people asked the price on the spot and wanted to make a purchase.
Gong Wei was pulled by Mao Zi, who was inspecting the goods, and his shoulders were hit hard several times. Although he didn't feel the force, he was quite embarrassed by Mao Zi's enthusiasm.
These guys hug each other at every turn, regardless of whether they are men or women. Some aunties can happily press Gong Wei into their chests - it's really suffocating.
In order to boost confidence, Zhou Qingfeng specially used large transport aircraft to transport high-value goods. The efficient operation indeed made the collaborators more active.
But although tobacco is good, most of the goods Maozi needs are cheap and large-volume common industrial products, and the same kind of goods are sold domestically. The transportation volume and freight price of railway and sea transportation are more suitable.
With railway freight, the goods purchased by 'Shengguang' in the north of the country do not need to go to the seaport. They are directly transported to the imperial capital and put on the train. They go to Erenhot to change the bogies, and then pass through Mongolia all the way to Moscow.
The whole journey is more than 7,000 kilometers and takes more than a week.
When bartering with the Nande Group, Maozi asked for a large amount of textiles such as sheets, quilt covers, shoes, and socks. These products are quite strong in the country.
Now I switch to "Holy Light", which has a stronger ability to collect goods. This special train is all textiles. Clothing, hats, shoes and socks, packed in different containers according to different styles, simple and clear.
After a rough inventory, all the goods were safe and sound, and Gong Wei and other members of the Holy Light breathed a sigh of relief.
This kind of intercontinental long-distance freight has to travel to nearly fifty stations in three countries, passing through the wilderness along the way, and it is impossible to arrange escorts. If it is stolen or robbed halfway, there is no way.
It's really lucky that the first batch arrived safely.
There are sixty carriages on the manifest, but in fact there are sixty-one. The last two containers were temporarily hung up. Anyway, the freight locomotive is powerful, so it doesn't matter if it pulls dozens of tons more.
Taking advantage of Mao Zi who was inspecting the goods to be happy, Gong Wei patted one of the leading civil servants and led him to the container at the end. The container door opened and was filled with cardboard boxes.
Just move a box and open it, and you’ll find bottles of the special stuffed bear ‘Erguotou’.
When he saw the wine bottle, the civil servant Mao Zi who inspected the wine beamed and couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear. Gong Wei said that this was a gift, given to the Alliance's 'Davarish' for the sake of friendship and the future.
No money, just free, let the comrades drink as much as they can. I just want to work more efficiently in the future, work more smoothly, and don't make any mistakes.
When you go out to do business, you still have to find a way to make the local snakes happy. Whether you are working or supervising, having less trouble is more important than anything else.
Civil servant Maozi didn't think too much. He just shouted a few times to his colleagues who were unloading and inspecting the goods at the station, and immediately twenty or thirty people gathered around him.
The unloading platform suddenly burst into cheers. The crowd was crowded, and each person held a box of 'Erguotou' and laughed and started tossing and ton...
Oh my God!
Gong Wei was shocked!
I knew that all these idiots could drink, but I didn't know that they would drink whenever they asked. They still had to work, but they put down all the work at hand and blew on the bottles one by one.
It's over, these guys look like they haven't had a drink in three years. Some people don't have enough for one bottle and are already opening a second bottle. There is no need to unload the goods now, there are a lot of drunks at the station, and there is no need to do anything.
No, this is a station!
Something will happen.
Gong Wei was from the south. He would be frightened to death when he saw gay men from the north drinking. He was completely stunned when he saw Maozi drinking. When he saw an aunt Maozi appear, he thought he was here to persuade her to drink.
Who would have known that Aunt Maozi carried a box of 'Erguotou' on her own and drank tons of tons of it easily? Then she raised her racing arm and shouted: "Comrades, hurry up and work. Today we are going to hold a labor competition.
!”
competition?
Gong Wei almost fainted.
You are all drunk like this, and you still want to hold a labor competition? Do you know what safe production is?
But after drinking, Mao Zi seemed to have just regained his composure, and his originally lazy face turned red - not even red, because the fifty-five-degree 'Erguotou' was stimulating.
The wine is pure and tastes good, there is no unnecessary feeling, it’s just a great experience!
Mao Zi, who originally drove the crane, couldn't unload a container for a long time. When he finished drinking and pulled the lever, the crane engine screamed. The hoisting speed was several times faster than before.
Gong Wei has lived for decades and has never seen anyone who can still work after drinking a bottle of 'Erguotou'. But the scene at the station overturned his cognition.
These idiots didn't seem to be drunk at all after drinking. Instead, they were happy and happy, and their enthusiasm for work was really much higher.
Zhou Qingfeng used "cursed coins" to bribe officials such as Cui Kefu, and ordinary people could only go to "Erguotou". He asked Gong Wei to deliver two containers of liquor to the station when unloading the goods.
After all, the railway station is in charge of the transportation lines, so it is very necessary to make good friends. Otherwise, if there is any random mistake in loading, unloading or route arrangement, the loss will be more than just two containers of "Erguotou".
A dozen porters came out of the train station. They discussed privately with Chuikov's inspection personnel and quickly divided the two containers of spirits.
Tobacco and alcohol are easy to sell in the market. Not only can you drink them yourself, but you can also exchange them for other goods. They are equivalent to hard currency, much stronger than the ruble.
After sharing the "Erguotou", Mao Zi, who inspected the goods, took the initiative to pull Gong Wei into the station office, spread out the cargo list and said: "Gong, you are a good friend. I can give you the greatest convenience within the scope of my authority."
Gong Wei identified the Cyrillic letters on the manifest and soon discovered that it was not the previous heavy truck or the like, but another transportation form.
Gong Wei couldn't understand the model number on it, but he quickly realized what had happened. He took out a stack of dollars from his pocket and stuffed them into the other person's hand without counting them.
"Dear Davarich, thank you very much for your accommodation. Can you tell me what it's all about? Otherwise I don't know how to choose."
Instead, Maozi, who was inspecting the goods, carefully counted the US dollar bills he received. It was only more than a thousand dollars. He smiled more freely and lowered his voice and said...
"In July, the Warsaw Pact disintegrated. Our troops were forced to withdraw. These are the equipment shipped back from several Western countries, and it is only the first batch.
However, our warehouse is limited and we can only store dangerous goods such as ammunition. Vehicles and other items cannot be stored, so they can only be sent to remote storage yards for open-air storage.
I'm sure that once these equipment are stored, no one may take care of them for twenty or thirty years. So there will be wear and tear if stored in the open air. If they are worn out, they can only be scrapped.
If you are an ordinary person, I will not disclose any information to the outside world. But I think you are a friend and you should be interested in these equipment.
It’s very cheap, really cheap. You just need to pay me some freight. I can guarantee you that anything you can get here is worth more than one of your wagons.”
Routine!
Bureaucrats all over the world are one family.
Gong Wei had been a clerk for half his life, and he immediately said in his mind: "I understand this!"
