Hello, 1983

"Cough, Mr. Li, let's study the machine tool first." Chief Zhao quickly reminded.

The old soldier let go of Liu Qingshan for a while, then lowered his head and started to study the list, and sketched on it with a pen.

Every time he crossed one, his thin cheeks twitched a few times, as if cutting his own flesh.

After careful selection for more than an hour, the old soldier said, "It can't be any less, and no matter how little, it won't be able to form a complete system."

Although Chief Zhao can't read Russian, he can still do the math. He summed up the total price of the selected sets of machine tools:

"Mr. Li, it's still over the limit. It's more than 1.2 million."

"I don't care. Anyway, this is already the most streamlined, and there can be no less."

The old soldier at the moment is just a pranked child.

There was also a middle-aged soldier next to him with a sigh: "Speaking of which, these machine tools are really cheap enough, and they are already the price of cabbage."

The old soldier also took up the conversation: "This thing is not about money. If you didn't have this opportunity, you would have nowhere to buy it if you had money, and they wouldn't sell it to you!"

The chief can't do anything either. Of course he knows the reason better, but as the old saying goes: A penny can suffocate a hero.

At this moment, a young voice sounded again: "I can come up with three hundred thousand dollars here."

Everyone's eyes, with a swish, all turned to Liu Qingshan.

"Qingshan, does your company have foreign exchange?"

Shen Guodong was the first to ask in surprise, if this matter is resolved satisfactorily, then his epaulettes will probably be changed.

Liu Qingshan nodded: "It's not our company, it's our Jiapigou cooperative."

He didn't dare to say that it was his own. If someone came to Liu Bei to borrow Jingzhou, then he would lose a lot.

Even if it is to contribute to the country, there is no reason for individuals to contribute money.

Chief Zhao was also overjoyed: "Comrade Qingshan, can you cooperatives lend us this foreign exchange first, don't worry, you can count the interest!"

"Sir,

Of course there is no problem, but the interest is all yours. "

Liu Qingshan doesn't care about the interest. Although Longteng Trading Company doesn't seem to get any benefit from this business, he knows:

Having a good relationship with the army is in the best interest.

All the soldiers in the room looked happy: This is called helping in the snow,

The happiest was the old soldier. He happily walked up to Liu Qingshan, raised his hand and patted his shoulder:

"The more I look at you, the more pleasing to the eye, don't do business, it's too wasteful, go to the military academy for a few years, and after you come out, follow me."

Everyone was a little surprised when they heard it: this old Li, in the field of military scientific research, is definitely one of the best in the country.

Of course, his temper is also one of the most eccentric.

Listening to the meaning of his words, it is equivalent to taking an apprentice. This young man is really lucky.

Liu Qingshan was also quite surprised, and quickly explained: "Mr. Li, I'm actually still in high school now."

The old soldier waved his hand: "That's right, you don't need to go to college, you go directly to the military school."

But Liu Qingshan really didn't want to be a soldier, so he could only refuse:

"Hey, old man, in fact, doing business can also contribute to the country, isn't it? For example, isn't this an example?"

Shen Guodong next to him was anxious: "Qingshan, Mr. Li is..."

The old soldier raised his palm to stop Shen Guodong's words, and then turned to Liu Qingshan: "Okay, you have the seeds, don't regret it."

"Come on, let's discuss it first. What informatization you said should be used in the military, I have a little different opinion."

Liu Qingshan looked at the watch on his wrist:

"Master, it's already midnight. We have to negotiate tomorrow."

"It's a shame that you are still young, not even an old man like me."

Old Li muttered in dissatisfaction, and then pointed at Liu Qingshan: "I don't need you to take care of this old man. When I was young, I didn't sleep for at most four days and three nights."

He also saw it, Liu Qingshan was full of energy, obviously he didn't want to make him stay up late.

Liu Qingshan just smiled, and he was full of respect for such an old senior.

The next day, Liu Qingshan led Li Xuemei, who acted as a translator, to meet Sergey again.

Only this time, next to Liu Qingshan, there were two more people in casual clothes, one was a middle-aged man in his forties, and the other was an old man in his seventies.

Liu Qingshan said that this is the mechanical expert of their company.

However, Sergey is not easy to fool. When you look at the behavior of the two people, you know that they are people in the army.

In fact, it is the same with him, that kind of temperament is not something you can easily change.

But his purpose is to sell things, and it doesn't matter who buys them.

So I pretended to be confused and shook hands with the engineer Zhao and the old engineer Li.

After sitting down and drinking a cup of tea, Liu Qingshan said: "Comrade Sergey, this is the list of equipment we need, but the price needs to be negotiated."

Sergey took it and looked at it, his sharp eyes swept towards Liu Qingshan: "Liu, our current price is already very sincere!"

Of course, Liu Qingshan is also aware of this. He had already heard from Mr. Li last night that this is simply the price of cabbage.

However, the principle of doing business is to ask for a price and pay it back on the spot.

Especially since the other party is sneaky and can't see the light, of course he will take the opportunity to slaughter a knife.

So he took up the teapot with a smile and poured another cup for Sergey:

"Comrade Sergey, as you said before, this business is just the beginning."

"In the future, we may need more things, such as Su-27, or t90 or something."

Since Sergey can put a long line, of course Liu Qingshan will also catch big fish, and he will also run a fragrant big bait to the other side.

This made the engineer Zhao tremble in his heart: Is this possible?

Needless to say, the Su-27, the 90 tank, is also the most advanced main battle tank in the Soviet Union. Although it is occasionally sold, it is a simplified version.

If you can get these things, with Huaxia's best ability in magic transformation, you can definitely study it clearly. The improvement of weapons and equipment is of inestimable value.

The old engineer Li was also quite moved, but he was a little disapproving: those are the core weapons of others, how can they be sold casually, Xiaoshanzi is still too young.

He is very optimistic about this young man, and he also has a love for talent. Although he calls him "boy boy", he has a kind of elder care for Liu Qingshan.

Sergey's stern face squeezed out a smile, lifted the teacup lightly, and took a sip: "As long as you can make a reasonable price, everything is easy to say."

This sentence made the two engineers' hearts roll with thunder, and the only thing left in their minds was the roar of planes and tanks.

Although Li Xuemei didn't know much, she was secretly shocked when she heard: The boss doesn't know how to do this kind of business...

After some bargaining, Sergey finally gave in, from $1.2 million to $1 million.

Obviously, Liu Qingshan's bait also made him quite tempted.

Five sets of large machine tools cost only one million yuan, which is indeed the price of cabbage.

You must know that when the Soviet Union imported machine tools from the island country Toshiba, the unit price was 2.7 billion. Although it was Japanese yen, it was amazing enough.

Just when Liu Qingshan thought he didn't need to pay for the $300,000, Engineer Li immediately picked up the pen again and added two sets on it.

Well, don't worry about it this time.

The two sides negotiated, but the next thing is more troublesome. Transportation, handover, inspection, etc., all need to be well negotiated.

Obviously, this kind of thing cannot be officially declared, and it must be passed through privately.

Fortunately, both sides have military backgrounds, so you don't need to consider border defense issues, as long as you find a remote place, you can carry out the delivery.

The original plan was: the other party's truck drove over, and then transferred the goods to the truck prepared by Liu Qingshan and the others.

It is these large-scale equipment, loading and unloading, without tower cranes and the like, certainly not.

But those large-scale loading and unloading tools are only available at the pier of the border station.

This seemed to be in an endless loop, and even Sergey was sweating a little.

At this time, Liu Qingshan finally spoke: "Mr. Sergey, we even want trucks, but these trucks are definitely second-hand cars. Our company can only exchange materials."

Engineer Zhao's eyes lit up: Yes, at that time, as long as you bring more than 100 soldiers who can drive, you can directly hand over to the other party's driver, which will save you a lot of trouble.

Sergey also suddenly realized, and immediately nodded in agreement. The most important thing they did was trucks and the like.

In fact, Liu Qingshan wanted to import a batch of trucks for a long time, but he never found a way.

This business is definitely not profitable, and he has no plans to make a fortune from the military.

If you can get a batch of second-hand big trucks, wouldn't there be some room for profit?

The Soviet trucks, like their people, are stupid and dark, and they are relatively resistant to construction. The only disadvantage is that the fuel consumption is relatively large.

Not enough is not a problem now, because before the 1990s, China was an oil exporter, and the oil price was not high at all.

The rest is the specific price of the truck. New Soviet trucks, depending on the model, can be bought here between 50,000 and 60,000 yuan.

Since it is second-hand, Liu Qingshan will directly cut the price in half, and then exchange it for materials, the price will be saved by more than half.

The final standard set is: the price of twenty cases of liquor, to buy a big truck.

For Liu Qingshan, the cost of 20 boxes of liquor is only 300 yuan.

Three hundred yuan for a big truck is not a loss, right?

Finally, there is no need to work in vain, Liu Qingshan is in a good mood, and invites Sergey to the Longteng Hotel for a meal.

But it was rejected by Sergey. This kind of thing is better to be low-key.

After everything was agreed, Sergey left quietly, and Engineer Li patted Liu Qingshan on the shoulder:

"Xiao Shanzi, you are good at bargaining, and you saved 200,000 in one fell swoop!"

Liu Qingshan murmured in a low voice: "It seems that I didn't save it, and it cost an extra $100,000."

"Isn't that there are two more sets of machine tools, not to mention 300,000, even 3 million can't buy it!" Old Li began to stare again.

And engineer Zhao, that is, the head of Zhao, is more concerned about another issue:

"Comrade Qingshan, can you really get the Su 27 and t90 you mentioned?"

Liu Qingshan nodded: "Sir, it should be possible, the people over there are crazy now."

"To make it perish in advance, you must make it crazy first." Old Li also sighed:

"Xiaoshanzi, it seems that your analysis of the dramatic changes in Eastern Europe still makes sense."

After he finished speaking, he turned to Chief Zhao again: "Then hurry up and collect foreign exchange. No matter what, you have to get two back!"

Chief Zhao also smiled wryly: It seems that the top has to be disturbed again.

The stakes are very important. For the next week, they will live in the barracks, and they will urgently call in 120 drivers, all of whom are young and capable warriors.

Seeing that, Liu Qingshan's eyes were very hot: If I had so many people under my command, it would be great!

So he moved his mind: the army will discharge a large number of soldiers every year, in addition to some can be assigned to work, and some have agricultural hukou, they can only return to their hometowns to farm.

If you have a good relationship with the army, will you be able to gather a large number of veterans?

You must know that soldiers are strictly disciplined, obey orders, and have excellent quality. If they have another skill, they are definitely the most ideal employees.

Now on this line, after the two sides have good cooperation, everything is negotiable.

On March 8th of the solar calendar, the twenty-eighth day of the first month of the lunar calendar, at noon, Liu Qingshan and others set off in several jeeps.

The place they agreed on was in the upper reaches of the Longjiang River, a few dozen kilometers away from the Heihe River.

Before that, there were already more than a dozen hooded military vehicles, with a famous soldier sitting in them, who set off ahead of time and rushed there.

Among these soldiers, there are fully armed border guards and drivers in civilian clothes.

Liu Qingshan and the others are mainly technicians who are responsible for inspecting and accepting goods and the head of the army.

Liu Qingshan rode his own pioneer sedan and followed at the end of the team.

Of course, it can't be said that in the end, there are two patrol cars behind, responsible for guarding.

After driving for more than 20 miles, a patrol car caught up, catching up with the jeep of several chiefs, and reporting something while marching.

What, what happened?

Liu Qingshan didn't want to come up with anything.

This transaction is beneficial to the country in the overall situation, and it is also related to Liu Qingshan's millions of income in terms of small profits.

Soon I got the news from Shen Guodong: "There is a jeep following behind!"

The situation became serious immediately, such a secret operation, it is absolutely impossible to leak information.

At the same time, five or six miles away from the convoy, there was a jeep, following slowly and leisurely.

In broad daylight, there are several rows of wheel marks on the snowfield, so there is no need to worry about losing it.

The driver was Wang Qiang, and Xie Hongri, An Chunfeng and others were sitting in the car.

"It's uninhabited, they are still traveling along the river, they must be trying to smuggle goods, and we are caught right now, haha!"

Wang Qiang clenched the steering wheel tightly, and burst into a hearty laugh.

It seems that he wants to release all the suffocation he has accumulated these days.
