Chapter 294: The Unconscious Layout Takes Effect
Siwu Tang beverages and ginsenoside nutritional supplements have been in short supply in the Warsaw Pact region.
The reason is very simple. The Soviet Union alone had 3000 million party members and at least 800 million cadres. Just to provide the Soviet cadres with Siwutang drinks, at least 800 million bottles were needed every day. The Warsaw Pact had at least 6000 million party members and at least 1600 million cadres. What about the families of the cadres? The number would have to be doubled again.
So even though the beverage factory has been expanding its production every year and adding several large-scale production lines, its daily output is still only 100 million bottles. At the factory price of 1 ruble per bottle, that's 100 million per day, and more than 3 million rubles per year.
But this is not the case, because there are not so many raw materials. Many raw materials are seasonal and cannot be supplied throughout the year. It is also impossible to continue to expand the scale because the country is still mainly focusing on ensuring grain production.
But even so, in this time and space, China's loans to the Soviet Union have been offset a lot in recent years, almost 1/4, and by the 60s, it is estimated that it will be offset by half.
In this way, even if there are natural disasters, the country's pressure will be reduced by half because the foreign debt will be reduced by half.
The channel trading company led by Diana and Alexei, in which Wang Deming has a stake, adds 1-1.5 gold rubles to the price of each bottle. It is conceivable how much money this trading company makes.
Of course, they only took a small share, as the big share had already been distributed. However, at the end of the year, they could still make 2 to 3 million gold rubles from beverages, and this share accounted for half of Wang Deming's money.
What is the reason?
Although they had been buying raw diamonds from the Soviet Union and selling them to Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, they only spent more than 1000 million gold rubles a year. Over the past few years, the three of them had deposits in several Soviet banks in the Soviet Union that almost exceeded 6000 million gold rubles.
Having too much money is also a worry. If it weren't for Wang Deming, the two of them wouldn't be able to exchange much American money. What is a ruble? If it can't buy good things in the West, isn't it just paper? This is also the reason why Wang Deming has always firmly occupied the initiative among the three.
So when Diana heard Wang Deming's new business idea that night, she screamed with excitement. She ignored Alexei's sullen face and threw herself on Wang Deming, hugged him and kissed him: "Oh, God, honey, you are really my angel!"
"I'm worried that there are too many rubles in my account! My father told me privately that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has actually noticed several of our accounts a long time ago."
As a gentleman, can Wang Deming make Diana fall to the ground?
No, so he could only endure Diana's kisses like raindrops while holding her elastic buttocks and casting an apologetic look at Alexi, "Alexi, you know I have always been very careful."
"Of course I know!" Alexei took a big gulp of wine. "Our Soviet lesbians are always so passionate and unrestrained, especially when they meet someone they like. I think they have read too many novels by Leo Tolstoy. They always believe that love is above everything else, like Anna Katerina."
"So, I have been delaying the wedding with Diana. I want to at least wait until she realizes that she can be a housewife with peace of mind and have children safely."
Diana jumped off Wang Deming, but still hooked her hands around his neck. She turned her head and glared at Alexei, "Hey, what you said is absolutely disrespectful to women! Why can you keep wandering around among all kinds of women, but require us women to be loyal to you men?"
"Let's put aside the love, but at least we need to respect each other, right? If De hadn't arranged for us to do business together, I could have married you without blinking a eye, and then have two children I don't like, and spend all day around them. Oh, God, it's scary just to think about it!"
"Uh." Wang Deming patted Diana's butt, signaling her to let go of him. "Diana, you know I just had a lovely daughter. You've seen her. I also gave her a beautiful Russian nesting doll on her 100th day celebration."
"Oh, hey, I've never seen such a lovely little girl. She's so pretty at such a young age. Lovely. De, don't you think that with my beauty, I shouldn't be able to give birth to a child who can inherit my looks?"
Seeing that Diana was still hanging on him, Wang Deming could only hold her waist with one hand, put her on the official hat chair, and gently pried open her wrists that were wrapped around him. "Today we are talking about business, you have gone off topic." "Oh De, you are always so cruel!"
Wang Deming rolled his eyes and said, "You should have read the novel Gone with the Wind. You reminded me of Scarlett Johansson."
"Oh, you mean I'm vain and like to release my charm all the time to attract men. I wish all men would like me and keep wandering around?"
"No, I mean you are independent, autonomous, and strong, especially when it comes to business."
"All right."
Finally, the topic was brought back to the point. "Diana is right. In fact, I had a hunch that the Soviet Union's internal affairs department would sooner or later notice our deposits in many Soviet banks, but we just didn't have a good channel to digest them. If it weren't for the leniency of the internal affairs department, we wouldn't be able to transport the raw diamond ore to Hong Kong for processing and sale so smoothly."
"They took at least half of the profits from diamonds. How can we not let them off the hook?" Diana said disdainfully. "I know that Delbees has already approached the Soviet Union's Ministry of Minerals and asked to be the unified agent for the diamond production of several Soviet diamond mines. The Delbees family hopes to monopolize all diamond channels. They are currently negotiating and offering very generous conditions to the Ministry of Minerals."
"Humph, the Americans make money by monopolizing," Wang Deming curled his lips in disdain. "Let them talk. Diamonds are not that important in our business share. Besides, they have a monopoly on diamonds, so we can make more money from smuggling."
"Alexei," he turned to Alexei and asked, "Have you calculated this afternoon how many tractors and trucks you can buy from the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact each year?"
Alexey scratched his red hair sadly with his thick fingers. "Trucks are fine, but you have to know that the Soviet tractor factory also produces tanks. I'm worried that they won't let us sell them to China!"
"Idiot!" Diana yelled, "Can't you just sell the parts and ship them to China for assembly? This is the easiest way, and we can also lower the price! Are you going to drive the tractor directly from Siberia to China?"
"Uh"
"It just so happens that the carriages of Siwutang beverage shipped to the Soviet Union every day occasionally come back empty from the Soviet Union, and we still have to pay all the freight. Now we finally have legal goods to ship to China!" Diana restrained her smile and looked at Wang Deming, "De, so your subsequent arrangements are very important!"
"You worry too much about money, but it's a good thing. I've read the data. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, China has spent 4 million yuan to import 2 tractors from the Soviet Union."
"Don't worry, you two will contact the Soviet Union right away to calculate how much can be exported each year. I will contact the real boss right away. We are like Han Xin selecting soldiers, the more the better."
