Capital Diaoyutai State Guesthouse,

"This is the agreement you negotiated. You are treason to the country. You are treason to the country. You know, you will be sent to the gallows." Looking at the negotiation agreement presented below, Mihayiner from the Maozi Aviation Industry Department was furious.

Almost vomited blood.

What kind of bullshit agreement is this? It’s so deceptive.

"Minister, we also know that this agreement is unreliable, but there is no way. The other party has no foreign exchange and only agrees to barter. We have to sell it, but minister, you also know that the Tu-154 cannot be sold at all.

It's just scrap metal in your hands, so you might as well take it out and exchange it for some daily necessities. After all, planes can't eat it. In exchange for some material, even if it can't be sold, it can be distributed to the following, so that everyone can barely survive."

The leader of the negotiating team lowered his head and said.

He also knew that the agreement was unreliable, but there was really nothing he could do.

"Why!"

The leader's words made Mikhail sigh heavily and helplessly shake his head.

He knew that what the leader said was true. This was the situation now. Although there was no money in cooperating with the Nande Group, it could be exchanged for some materials. Now that the domestic supply of materials was no longer available, it was better than nothing.

This makes it extremely sad. How could a powerful empire become like this? Even the people's lives cannot be guaranteed.

"Minister, head of the group, two people came outside, saying they were from the Eastern Group and wanted to discuss the aircraft business with us." Just when Mihayiner sighed secretly and felt sorry for himself, his secretary came in from the outside.

"Eastern Group?" Mikhail was a little unfamiliar with this name.

"Minister, Oriental Group is Rabbit's largest private company. It is headquartered in Hong Kong. Not only does its assets exceed tens of billions of dollars, its affiliated trading companies are also closely related to us. In the past two years, more than half of the trade between Rabbit and us has been

It was operated by its trading company."

Unlike the high-ranking Mikhail, the head of the delegation, who had stayed in the capital for several months, knew him very well. He couldn't find a way out, and he had already negotiated with the South German Group, otherwise he would have found Dongfang.

The group promoted it.

"In that case, let them go to the reception room, we will be there in a minute." Minister Mihail asked the secretary to take them to the reception room.

"Mr. Xu, do you think Maozi will cooperate with us? You must know that they have been discussing cooperation for a long time." After being brought to the conference room, the secretary looked at his leader Xu Lei and asked in a low voice.

"How is it impossible? As for Nan De's conditions, no one would agree to it unless it is absolutely necessary." The secretary said that Xu Lei was the person in charge of the Eastern Group's office in the capital.

It is under the jurisdiction of Huayihan.

Despite his young age, he is only 27 or 28 years old, but he is very capable. He is a top graduate from the Renmin University and was recruited from a public institution by Hua Yihan with a high salary.

"Indeed, Nande's conditions are really weird." Thinking of the conditions offered by Nande Group, the secretary smiled.

Because there was no foreign exchange, a goods-for-goods trade agreement was reached, stipulating that after the contract was signed, both parties would ship goods at the same time.

It doesn’t look like a problem, though!

The Tu-154 flies over from Maozi and can arrive in just ten hours.

The same cannot be said for the goods from Nande Group.

Even if the goods are shipped uniformly, it will take half a month for 500 freight trains to arrive in Moscow, and this can only be achieved if the goods are shipped uniformly.

The key is!

In the 1990s, the exchanges between rabbits and bears were far less than a few decades later. At this point in time, the trains sent from the mainland to Moscow every year were mainly from the northeast, and there was not even one freight train a day.

There are only a few dozen trains a year, so it can be said that trains are in extremely short supply.

Given the capabilities of the Nande Group, it would be quite good to get at most two or three trains a year. Otherwise, the Nande Group in the original time and space would not have delayed five years in sending 500 wagons of goods.

Five years, the Anti-Japanese War has only been eight years, and it took five years to deliver 500 pieces of goods.

It's not a bad thing if it takes too long.

The worst thing is the cargo.

Because the payment had already been received, Nande Group was indifferent to the goods sent. It was okay at first. Although the goods sent were all domestic backlog products, the quality could still be guaranteed.

Later, in order to save money, Nande Group issued whatever was cheap and didn't care whether Maozi was suitable or not.

In the end, money was made, but the reputation was ruined, and the reputation of domestic products was also ruined in Maozi. The businessmen behind them spent no one knows how much effort they had to reverse the reputation of their products in Maozi.

The amount of money lost is far greater than that of a few planes, which is also the main reason why Lei Weidong wants to intercept Hu.

As for the negotiation terms between Nande Group and Maozi, why did the two of them know about it?

The reason is simple, you spend money to buy it!

Although the negotiations between Nande Group and Maozi are conducted in secret, the terms of the negotiations will not be announced to the outside world.

But money can make all the difference, let alone a leather company like Nande Group.

Strictly speaking, except for Lao Mou, no one else in the Nande Group has much confidence in the aircraft transaction.

Because the Nande Group did not have the foreign exchange to purchase the aircraft, nor did it have enough cash to purchase the goods, most of the 500 wagons of goods were purchased on credit.

This is why the goods traded are so scattered, except for cans, sheets, quilts, quilt covers, pillowcases, nylon socks, and even pot bladders.

It's because the Nande Group has no money, so anything they can get on credit is given to Lao Maozi.

In this case!

The Eastern Group sent people to buy them with cash, and there was nothing they couldn't buy.

Even the lowest price of the Tu-154 was obtained by the Eastern Group. The price is really cheap. It is not a little bit cheaper than the same type of passenger aircraft in the West. Four aircraft are not as expensive as one Western aircraft.

"Hello, I am Pavlovich, what do you want from me?" Mikhail was a minister, and even the deputy had to worry about his identity. He hid aside and was led by Pavlov, the leader of the negotiating team.

Vicki came forward to understand the situation.

"Hello, I am Xu Lei, the person in charge of the Beijing office of Oriental Group. I heard that you are discussing aircraft with Nande Group. We at Oriental Group are also interested in aircraft. Come and see if there is any opportunity to cooperate."

Xu Lei got straight to the point, and while shaking hands with Pavlovich, he explained his purpose of coming.

"I'm sorry to buy an airplane, Mr. Xu, you're late. We have reached an agreement with the Nande Group and will deliver it soon." Pavlovich shook his head and said.

"Mr. Pavlovich, I know you have reached an agreement, but there is a problem with your agreement. If it is really implemented, not only will you suffer a big loss, but we will also suffer a big loss. The only one who will benefit is the South German Group.

.”

"How do you say this?" Xu Lei's words made Pavlovich frown. If he hadn't known that the other party was from the Eastern Group and had a big background, ordinary people would have kicked him out.

"There is something wrong with the agreement you signed. It only stipulates the exchange of goods and does not stipulate the arrival time of the goods." Xu Lei smiled and exposed the loopholes in the contract.

"What's the problem with this? Isn't it just an exchange of goods?"

"The problem is huge. It takes a dozen hours to fly from Moscow, but even if everything goes well, it will take half a month for the train to arrive in Moscow."

"Half a month, although it's a bit long, it's not unacceptable." Hearing that the goods would take half a month to arrive, Pavlovich was a little panicked, but as long as the goods arrived, half a month later was acceptable.

"Half a month is the ideal situation, but it is actually impossible." Xu Lei continued to shake his head and took out the prepared information and handed it to Pavlovich, "Mr. Pavlovich, you may have forgotten something.

That is, the trains sent from the mainland to Moscow are mainly passenger cars, and there are only 300 freight trains every year. Among these 300 freight trains, 260 are from our Eastern Group.

The number allocated to the outside is only forty columns, forty columns a year.

Do you think that given the strength of Nande Group, how many trains can it grab in a year and how long does it take to supply 500 wagons? I estimate that three years is short."

As a subordinate of Hua Yihan, Xu Lei also participated in the transaction of the bear, so he knew how nervous the wagons were.

It turns out that there are fewer trucks going to Maoxiong. This is also because Dongfang Group trades a lot of goods and earns foreign exchange that is scarce in the country. In addition, it has a deep background, so the number of trucks has increased several times.

But this is not enough. A large amount of goods need to be transported by sea from the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta and Bohai Sea to Europe or Vladivostok.

"Are you telling the truth?" Vice Minister Mihail had been eavesdropping next door. When he heard that it would take three years for Nande Group to deliver the goods, he immediately became anxious and rushed over to ask.

"Whether it's true or not, you will know after you investigate. The number of trucks sent to Moscow every year can be checked." Xu Lei shrugged, indicating that he was not lying, so go ahead and check.

"Go check it out quickly." Mikhail ordered with a gloomy face.

"Yes!" Seeing that the minister was anxious, Pavlovich was frightened and quickly mobilized his strength to verify.

As one of the superpowers, even if the Mao Xiong is at its end, a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse, not to mention that what Xu Lei said is not confidential, just call and verify.

The results of the investigation were soon sent to Minister Mihail.

Seeing that the investigation results were almost the same as what Xu Lei said, Mihayin angrily tore the investigation results into pieces.

"Hello, I am Mikhail from the Ministry of Aviation Industry. You just said that Eastern Group is interested in purchasing aircraft?"

If we say, there is only one choice for Nande Group.

For the sake of material, Mikhail held his nose and admitted that something was better than nothing. But with a better choice like the Eastern Group, Mikhail naturally kicked the Nande Group aside.

"Yes!" Xu Lei nodded, "As the trade between us and you increases, a problem arises, that is, the goods supplied by us continue to increase.

And your side has always been dominated by minerals, timber, oil and other things, and you already have a bit of a surplus. After all, our country's heavy industry is not good enough and we can't use too many minerals.

So we are preparing to expand our trading catalog, from basic materials such as minerals, to finished products such as Tu-154."

"Is it just Tu-154?" Mikhail asked.

"Definitely not. In addition to the Tu-154, we also need maintenance and other services, so that it can be repaired in China. Of course, this is the basis, and we will need more later.

It’s just that these are not decisions that I, the person in charge of the office, can make. It requires a team of experts from the head office to make decisions.” Xu Lei replied.

"If we cooperate with the Eastern Group, how will you deal? Is it barter?" Mikhail asked.

"Of course!" Xu Lei nodded.
