The beginning of the silly uncle, the true love is full of the courtyard

With the support of the Red Wall boss, the Sino-Mongolian trade was faster than He Pingan had imagined. He originally thought that he would have to wait for seven or eight days. Unexpectedly, in just three days, a train carrying goods arrived in Manchuria. After the transaction was completed and the rest of the matters were handed over to the accompanying staff, He Pingan led his people to the Far East in the north.

With Chao Ketu's letter, He Pingan easily met the chief of staff. The chief of staff was named Boris, tall and strong, with a strong physique. Although his hair was slightly gray, his sharp eyes made people dare not underestimate him. Looking at He Pingan, who was dressed in Outer Mongolia, Boris asked curiously:

"Mr. He, Chao Ketu has already explained your intention in his mind. But I am very curious. Although Chao Ketu is not very capable, he is cautious enough and even as timid as a mouse. Why would he let you, a Chinese, pass on such a letter?"

"General Boris, didn't you just say that General Chaoketu is cautious by nature. The Moscow wind scared the general comrades from Outer Mongolia!" Looking at Boris, who had obviously come from a war, He Ping'an did not feel the slightest contempt for his greed.

"The letter from Chao Ketu mentioned the deal between you and him, and stated that you are a trustworthy person! I can trade with you, but little guy, the great Big Brother is not like Outer Mongolia. I don't need your supplies. If you want to trade with me, you must have real money. As for the price..."

Compared with Chao Ketu, the chief of staff of this group army was obviously more greedy. He actually wanted to sell the grain in his hands at the international market price and also required foreign exchange settlement.

Listening to Boris's request, He Pingan secretly complained: If I had foreign exchange, would I come to you? There is plenty of food in the world, I have nothing better to do than to come all the way to send you money, and act like a philanthropist! Although he thought about it, he couldn't say it like this:

"General Boris, if I didn't know that you are a genuine Slav, I would have doubted that I had met a compatriot. You and I are both soldiers, so let's not do the 'ask for a high price and pay on the spot' trick! According to the international market price, and even foreign exchange, huh..."

"I have the food you need, don't I?" Boris said confidently.

"General Boris, I think you've got one thing wrong! We do have a food shortage, but that doesn't mean we can't buy food. Although the U.S. imperialists have imposed a comprehensive blockade on us, we can still buy food. No force in the world dares to let a country with abundant military power starve."

In both his lives, He Ping'an was not very good at bargaining. But negotiation is nothing more than a game. As a battlefield commander, He Ping'an said that he is good at this.

"That makes sense. So are you here to deliver a letter to me, little guy?" Boris was so confident that he could tease He Pingan at will.

"My name is He Ping'an, and I fought in the Korean War... Now, General, am I still a little guy?" Seeing that Boris looked down on him, He Ping'an recounted his contributions in the Korean War one by one.

"Okay, I apologize for my contempt just now. You are a brave soldier. So Comrade He Ping'an, can you tell me your plan now?" He Ping'an's military exploits successfully won Boris' respect.

"General Boris, I think you are missing one thing. That is, apart from us, no other country can turn the food in your hands into real gold and silver. Not even the United States can do it! But we can use the gold and silver that should belong to you to buy food in the international market."

"In other words, this is a buyer's market, so General Boris, I think you can re-quote now!" Gambling is about exaggerating the opponent's weaknesses infinitely in order to highlight one's own importance.

"No, young man, you are the one who doesn't see the reality! As long as I want, I can easily sell the grain. For example: Outer Mongolia, who just reached a deal with you, as well as North Korea or our own people! And sell it at a high price!"

Although Boris' words were firm, the subtle changes in his facial expression could not be hidden from He Ping'an.

"Then how long will it take to sell all your grain? Three years, five years, or even longer? I'm afraid that the grain of the current year has not been sold out yet, and the new grain of the next year has been put into the warehouse! General Boris, we come with sincerity, and we hope you can be honest with us!"

"Honestly? I wonder what price the warrior from China wants to pay for the food in my hands!"

"Same as Chao Ketu, 50%!" He Pingan spread out his palms and said seriously.

"Hahaha... little guy, you may be a warrior, but your honesty is not worth so much money! And I have already told you clearly that I don't need your goods!" Boris sneered when he heard He Ping'an's offer.

"You really don't need our country's specialties, but what about European and American products? I heard that all your major cities have European and American products, but they require special people to buy them! If we can provide European and American products, do you think I am honest enough, General?"

Facing Boris's sneer, He Ping'an's face darkened and he hesitated for a long time. It was not until Boris became impatient that he took out the chips he had prepared long ago.

In fact, this was also the purpose of He Pingan's coming to the Soviet Union. As for bringing Lou Bancheng, it was just to let him take the credit and go to Hong Kong and Kowloon. He Pingan's idea at the beginning was that Lou Bancheng would buy European and American goods in the free port of Hong Kong and Kowloon, and He Pingan would coordinate in China and sell them to the Far East. Of course, the specialties of the Far East can also be sold to the world through this line.

He Pingan's main goal is to use the geographical location to become a middleman to make a profit. This can not only solve the current food shortage in the country, but also earn foreign exchange for the country. Of course, He Pingan did not deny that he needed these merits to protect himself. Even if he encountered something in the future, he could also use these lines... I hope I won't need them.

The reason why he was so hesitant just now was that he didn't want Old Xu next to him to see his plan. You know, the relationship between the two countries is not very good now, especially the border conflict that will last for several years in the future. It seems to be a good thing now, but it may be used to criticize in the next 'ten years'.

Otherwise, He Ping'an would have been at loggerheads with Boris. Fortunately, Boris' pride gave him a chance to perform. For the sake of the country and the people, he was forced to make a helpless choice, and no one could find fault with it.

"Is this 50% the same as Chao Ketu's?" Boris' eyes lit up.

"You really are...! General Boris, it seems there is no need for us to continue talking. Just consider us as delivering a letter today. Goodbye!" Looking at Boris' greedy eyes, He Ping'an knew that he had been moved, and stood up and made a gesture to leave.

"Young man, you just said that I was a mercenary, but I think you are not bad either! I admit that your proposal touched me. Can you tell me more about it? If I am satisfied, I can sell the grain to you at 50% of the price!" Boris looked at He Ping'an who was about to leave and cursed him inwardly as a little fox.

"We can buy the goods the general needs, but you also know how your store works! Therefore, the price of the goods cannot be based on yours. The 50% this time is simply the price of the food purchased this time!"

"As for the goods you need, we will quote you based on the cost of transporting them. There will definitely be a slight increase. After all, we are still under blockade, and we have worked hard, so we have to make some money, right? Of course, if you disagree, we can also skip the grain transaction and directly buy and sell other items." He Ping'an was not annoyed when he was seen through, he was just pretending.

"No, the grain still needs to be sold! Although there have been some misunderstandings between our two countries, I believe it will eventually pass. After all, we have the same beliefs!" Boris is not stupid. If he doesn't sell the grain to the kid in front of him, who knows what sky-high price he will sell to him.
