Siheyuan: Starting at 52, I, He Daqing, will not run away

At night!

He Daqing told Chen Xueru about Qin Huairu.

Chen Xueru naturally had no objection to this. After all, it was just to let Sha Zhu's wife work as a salesperson in a silk shop, not as a financial manager. There was nothing to hesitate about.

If Qin Huairu was worth training, then focus on training her. If not, then just make her an ordinary employee.

"Okay, I know about Zhuzi's matter, his girlfriend can just come to the store when the time comes."

Chen Xueru said nonchalantly, and then continued:"What I am worried about now is Vladimir's order. Do you think he can raise the money?"

Obviously, the little woman is still more concerned about the order from the Soviet Union.

He Daqing was not very worried when he heard this question, and shook his head and said:"You don't have to worry about this problem. Vladimir can become a Soviet diplomat in China, his family conditions must be very good, not only has connections, but also must have money."

"In addition, do you know how much silk costs per meter in the Soviet Union?"

Hearing the price of silk in the Soviet Union,

Chen Xueru immediately became excited and asked,"How much?"

He Daqing stretched out his finger.

"You mean in the Soviet Union, the price of silk is ten rubles per meter?"

Chen Xueru showed a look of shock on her face.

The current price of silk in China is 2.8 yuan per meter, and it is in RMB.

The silk shop's purchase price to Vladimir is as low as 1.8 yuan per meter.

If the price of silk in the Soviet Union is ten rubles per meter, it is equivalent to 28 yuan in China, which is almost fifteen times the profit.

It's no wonder that Chen Xueru was shocked.

However, when He Daqing heard this number, he shook his head and said,"It's not ten rubles, but one hundred rubles per meter."

That's right.

In the Soviet Union, silk is a rare luxury. The price of one meter (that is, one meter) is not ten rubles, but one hundred rubles, equivalent to two hundred and eighty yuan.

In other words, as long as Vladimir and his team can transport the silk to the Soviet Union, the profit can be hundreds of times higher.

If it weren't for such a huge profit, Vladimir and Elena would not have secretly engaged in the silk smuggling business with Chen Xueru after the Sino-Soviet relationship was severed.

Because the profit here is really too lucrative, so lucrative that it is enough to drive the two crazy and sacrifice their lives.

"Oh my God, how is this possible?"

After hearing that silk was sold at 100 rubles per meter in the Soviet Union, Chen Xueru couldn't help but exclaimed, her face full of disbelief.

She never thought that silk, which was only 2.8 yuan per meter in China, could be sold for 100 rubles per meter in the Soviet Union, a full 150 times more.

He Daqing laughed and said,"Why not?"

"You don't think that the Soviet Union is really developed, do you?"

"In fact, the Soviet Union was well-developed in heavy industry. They were able to produce airplanes, cannons, cars, motorcycles, and various mechanical machines, but in terms of light industry, they were far behind China today."

"In the Soviet Union, the prices of industrial products are not high. The really high prices are for food, clothes, fabrics, etc."

"For example, eggs. In our country, an egg only costs two cents, but in the Soviet Union, eight rubles can buy ten eggs. On average, the price of an egg is about eight kopecks, which is equivalent to more than two yuan in our country."

"For black bread, one ruble per kilogram, which is RMB 1.4 per kilogram."

"The so-called black bread is made of whole grains that are as hard as a stone. It is usually baked with wheat flour mixed with a large amount of bran. In order to save flour, some bakers even add sawdust, sand and other debris into the bread. It is even harder to swallow than the vegetable dumplings in our country."

"White bread costs three rubles per kilogram, which is 4.2 yuan per kilogram in RMB."

"Sugar costs 9 rubles per kilogram, vodka costs 22.8 rubles per kilogram, a pair of leather boots costs 189 rubles per pair, printed cloth costs 6 rubles per meter, silk costs 100 rubles per meter, and wool costs 113 rubles per meter.……"

He Daqing told Chen Xueru about the prices in the Soviet Union in the early 1950s.

Compared with the prices in China, they were undoubtedly sky-high.

After He Daqing finished speaking, he did not forget to tell Chen Xueru about the national income of the Soviet Union.

"Of course, although prices in the Soviet Union are high, the national income level is also high."

"In the Soviet Union, the average farmer earns about 100 rubles a month, while workers generally earn between 800 and 3,000 rubles, scholars and professors earn several thousand rubles, and officials often earn thousands of rubles a month."

"So you don't have to worry that Vladimir can't come up with the money, because 100,000 rubles is a lot for us, but it's not a lot for a Soviet diplomat like Vladimir."

Although the Soviet Union at this time was not the most glorious period of the Soviet Union, it was also a period of rapid development. Not only was its military strength on par with that of the United States, but its economic development was also not much different from that of the United States.

The reason for this is that the Soviet Union is the big brother of the social camp. Not only did it divide the wealth of the entire Western Europe with the United States during World War II, but it also sucked blood from more than a dozen social countries in the name of aiding other social camp countries.

In such a situation, it is difficult for the Soviet Union not to develop rapidly.

However, the Soviet Union's innate conditions are there. Not only are many light industries insufficient in self-production and need to be imported, but even food and cloth are also dependent on imports. Therefore, with the continuous improvement of the Soviet Union's industrialization, the prices of grain, oil, and non-staple food are also increasing. For example, in the early 1930s, when the Soviet Union was just established, the purchase price of the ruble in the Soviet Union was very high.

The purchasing power was still very strong, one ruble could buy ten eggs.

But now, twenty years later, the price of eggs has risen to eight rubles per ten, an eightfold increase.

To be honest, if the Soviet Union had not made major adjustments to its wage levels, the domestic economy would have collapsed long ago. In the early 1930s, the salary of a Soviet minister was only eight hundred rubles a month.

By the 1950s, ministerial salaries had risen to eight thousand. If it weren't for the fact that the highest salary of ten thousand rubles had just passed away, the salaries of Soviet officials would probably have risen.

So He Daqing was not worried at all whether Soviet diplomat Vladimir could get together one hundred thousand rubles.

Because one hundred thousand rubles is not a lot for today's Soviet officials.

Similarly, he told Chen Xueru this not just to comfort her, but also to warn her.

"In fact, I am not worried about whether Vladimir can raise the money. Instead, I am worried about whether his large-scale smuggling activities will implicate us."

"After all, silk is a luxury in the Soviet Union. Once a hundred thousand rubles of silk is shipped to the Soviet Union, it will immediately soar to tens of millions."

"This is no longer a small fight. Once Vladimir has a problem, it will be difficult for us to ensure that we will not be implicated."

He Daqing sighed and expressed his worries.

When Chen Xueru heard this, she was also frightened and said in fear:"How about we tell Vladimir that we don't want to do this business anymore?"

If it was just a small fight of tens of thousands of yuan, Chen Xueru would not be afraid at all.

Who would have thought that the price of silk in the Soviet Union would be so high.

Once the silk worth 280,000 yuan was shipped to the Soviet Union, it would directly soar by more than a hundred times, bringing the transaction amount to tens of millions.

If something went wrong...

Chen Xueru shuddered at the thought of this, and she wanted to retreat.

It's impossible not to be afraid.

Nowadays in China, if a family fortune reaches a million, it can be treated as a capitalist. If it really involves a case of tens of millions of rubles, you can't just eat peanuts.

"Are you scared now?"

He Daqing saw the fear on the little woman's face and shook his head, saying,"It's too late to be scared now. This business has been irreversible since you signed the first contract with Vladimir without telling me."

"A silk order of 10,000 rubles would cost 1.5 million rubles to ship to the Soviet Union, equivalent to more than 4 million yuan."

"If the higher-ups really want to investigate, for us, there is no difference between more than 4 million and more than 40 million." (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

"Otherwise, why do you think I would take out 50% of the profits to drag Zhenyuan Textile Factory into trouble?"

"To put it bluntly, I want to change the nature of this business."

"If we buy silk from the Zhenyuan Textile Factory and then secretly sell it to Vladimir personally, it would definitely be smuggling and harm the national interests. If we are caught, we might be taken to the target shooting range."

"However, if the state-owned enterprise Zhenyuan Textile Factory is involved, all the rubles and foreign exchange will be received by the staff of Zhenyuan Textile Factory, and we will get the money from Zhenyuan Textile Factory afterwards."

"Although this is also smuggling, it has changed from individual illegal smuggling to legal smuggling. We have also changed from being the main smuggler to an auxiliary one, at most acting as a comprador. Even if the higher-ups really want to investigate, I guess we will only be imprisoned for a few years."[]

He Daqing said calmly, and told Chen Xueru about the situation here.

For things like smuggling, you can also look at who is doing it.

If it is an individual, it must be illegal smuggling by the individual.

But if it is a state-owned enterprise, it is actively trying to create foreign exchange for the country, which is a legal transaction. Even if the Soviet Union wants to investigate and investigate, the domestic side will at most deal with it lightly.

The two of them are at most scapegoats for others, stay in for a few years, and come out when the storm is over. It is impossible for the higher-ups to hand them over to the Soviet Union for handling.

"So that's why. No wonder you insisted on giving such a large amount of profit to Zhenyuan Textile Factory. You were not afraid that Zhenyuan Textile Factory would trade with Vladimir privately. It turned out that you knew all this a long time ago."

Chen Xueru suddenly realized and looked at He Daqing with admiration.

But she was still a little indignant and said,"However, we took such a big risk and only made tens of thousands of yuan, and Vladimir's money was not even enough. Isn't it too much of a loss?"

Originally, I thought I made a lot of money, but I didn't expect that the clown was actually myself.

The tens of thousands of yuan I made by taking such a big risk were not even enough for Vladimir and others.

This made Chen Xueru very unbalanced.

He Daqing looked at it lightly and said lightly,"There is no loss or no loss. If you really want to talk about loss, the upper level uses a large amount of domestic materials and goods to exchange aid and machines from the Soviet official at a price lower than the market price. Don't you think it's more of a loss?"

"In this world, whether doing business or doing anything else, there is no fairness."

"You feel you are losing out because you feel your efforts are not proportional to your gains. You are jealous of your business partners who earn more, but you don’t know what risks they are taking."

"Or do you think that Vladimir, a small diplomat, can reap such a huge profit alone?"

"Do you really think it is a simple matter to transport silk to the Soviet Union?"

"Moreover, in doing so, he had to bear the pressure and blows from the Soviet government and the original silk merchants of the Soviet Union, and he needed to clear various channels and relationships."

"Unless his family background is really strong and he can deal with the military on the border, even if he really sells it for 10 million rubles, he will not get more than 1 million."

"To put it bluntly, the profits here are too huge for a small diplomat like him to handle, and the real big money must be handed over."

"He took the biggest risk, and even the capital was paid by himself. He also had to find the source of goods, smooth the relationship, etc., and in the end he only got a small share. Do you think Vladimir lost money or not?"

He Daqing shook his head and said, he didn't think Vladimir could make much.

Even if this deal could really be done, the silk worth 100,000 rubles was really sold for 10 million rubles.

He Daqing didn't think Vladimir could make much money. After deducting the cost, it would be at most a few hundred thousand rubles. The real big share must go to those in power.

If the other party is reluctant to part with the money.

The outcome is not worth talking about. After

He Daqing finished speaking, he looked at Chen Xueru and warned:"Xueru, you must remember that illegal businesses like this can definitely make money, but the risks behind them are beyond your imagination."

"Besides, do you think that the tens of thousands of dollars you earned are too much after working so hard for so long and taking such great risks?"

"To put it bluntly, it's only 40,000 or 50,000 yuan. If my bun shop really allows the sale of Tea 833 Eggs, it will take less than ten days to earn this much money, and it's a fair, legal way to make money."

He Daqing is not bragging.

But the current city of Sijiu has a population of four to five million. There are more than a dozen old-fashioned restaurants alone, and there are hundreds or even thousands of restaurants and bun shops.

If He Daqing really wants to recruit dozens of workers and provide an unlimited supply of tea eggs every day, he will probably be able to sell tens of thousands of them a day, and earn forty to fifty thousand yuan in just a few days.

Small business is small business, but the profit here is really not small.

Just like in his previous life, there was a company selling bean sprouts in the county, the kind that can be fried for two yuan a plate, but their annual profit is tens of millions, and they have monopolized the daily supply of bean sprouts in several surrounding counties and cities, and are the leading enterprises in the county.

From this you can see how profitable this inconspicuous small business is.

At the end of his speech, He Daqing said slowly:"So, the real money is definitely not smuggling and illegal business, but technological products and technological monopoly!"

"I have the technology and the products, but the current domestic situation is not suitable for us to do this."

"In two years, when the domestic environment improves, we can directly set up factories and run businesses. We don't need to smuggle or break the law. We can make money openly."

"So, just keep your silk shop running, and don't worry too much about Vladimir."

"Because this foreign exchange earning business is not a good thing for us, we can just hand it over to Zhenyuan Textile Factory for coordination. I hope they can do it without us."

He Daqing said with a smile, and told Chen Xueru his idea.

Of course, two years later, the domestic business environment will definitely not be good. If you want to really open a factory or run a business, you can only go to Hong Kong Island or abroad.

It just so happens that the situation abroad is more chaotic these days, coupled with all kinds of discrimination and exclusion, Hong Kong Island is more suitable.

That's why He Daqing wanted to go to Hong Kong Island.

As for Chen Xueru?

His words were just a prelude. After two years of public-private partnership, even the silk shop and the bun shop were taken away.

With Chen Xueru's temper, she will definitely not be able to sit still. By then, He Daqing probably won't need to persuade her much, Chen Xueru will think about developing in Hong Kong Island.

After all, this woman is strong in her bones. If she wants to... To make a career.

If she were in the future, she would definitely be a strong woman in the business world. How could she be content with being ordinary?

Chen Xueru didn't know He Daqing's calculations.

After listening to He Daqing's consolation and persuasion, she finally didn't care much about Vladimir's order.

Or rather, she no longer wanted Vladimir's order.

Not only did she feel that the order was too hot, but she also felt that she was at a great disadvantage. She made so much effort but only made so little money, which was not even as much as the two-month profit of He Daqing's steamed bun shop.

Thinking of this, Chen Xueru felt a little annoyed and said depressedly:"Okay, I just hope that it's really like what you said, that our domestic business environment will get better in two years."

Obviously, she was not optimistic about the domestic business situation..
