Hello 1983

  Chapter 462 Nineteen eighty-six, Shao Hara! (seeking a monthly ticket)

   After chatting for a while, Zhang Long said: "Qingshan, my comrade-in-arms Xu Guoqiang has been transferred to the Economic and Trade Bureau for more than half a year, and he is doing well now."

   "He said that in half a month, the border trade will start trial operation. We have dozens of goods here. Do we have to set the price uniformly?"

   Of course, Liu Qingshan has an impression of Xu Guoqiang, and he is also a person who values ​​love and righteousness. He helped them find this big venue.

  Of course, Liu Qingshan did not treat him badly. He took 2,000 yuan and asked him to work in activities. It seems that the effect is not bad.

  As for the price, it’s hard to decide.

  Because China and the Soviet Union have been isolated for decades, there is no trade between them, and even the currencies of the two countries do not have a clear exchange ratio, so the most primitive barter trade is adopted.

   It is also for this reason that the period when the border trade started was the most chaotic, and of course it was also the most profitable stage.

   After pondering for a while, Liu Qingshan spit out another bubble: "It's like this piece of bubble gum, I have to change to a pair of big leather boots anyway."

   After finishing speaking, he felt that the atmosphere in the room was a bit weird, so he looked around, and saw that everyone looked at him as if they were looking at fools.

  At this moment, when the door opened, Hou Sanzhi slipped in, shouting:

   "Boss, you want to exchange for bubble gum worth 20 cents for at least 10 yuan worth of big leather boots. Do you really think all the idiots are fools?"

  With the arrival of Hou San, Liu Qingshan's team at Longteng Company is basically complete.

   Only Li Xuemei and Xiaomei are left, and they are still contacting customers at the big hotel.

  When things are traded back, they have to be sold to realize cash, so they have to win over a bunch of distributors.

  Hou San smiled and hugged Liu Qingshan: "Boss, everyone is looking forward to your hosting."

   After finishing speaking, he blinked his eyes a few more times: "That's right, it's the price you just said, isn't it a bit outrageous?"

   "How bold a person is, how productive the land is." Liu Qingshan replied cheerfully.

   "Qingshan, you have been criticized a long time ago, and it doesn't conform to objective laws at all." Yu Guangming immediately pointed out Liu Qingshan's mistake.

  Liu Qingshan nodded: "It's definitely not good to put it in other places, but it's just right for me right now. Let me ask everyone, do you know the price of the things at Maozi's side?"

  Everyone shook their heads together.

  Liu Qingshan continued: "In the same way, Maozi doesn't know the price of our goods here. They are all blind people trying to figure out the elephant. There is too much room for manipulation here."

  Hou Sanyi slapped his thigh: "I understand a little bit. For example, Maozi likes to drink, so liquor is hard currency, right?"

   "On our own side, we must also have a pricing standard internally, and then we will use liquor as a reference."

   For Liu Qingshan, the most well-stocked product is baijiu, and it's all high-grade wine.

   It will be easy to set up the regulations. The liquor they come in is basically low-grade, and the cost price is about one yuan.

   With this reference, other goods can be priced better.

  For example, bubble gum, five pieces of bubble gum can support a catty of liquor, and so on.

  Everyone is gathered together, and of course they have to have a good meal at night. In winter, there are basically no vegetables except radish and cabbage, but fish and meat are still very rich.

  Especially the big fish in the Longjiang River, after being stewed, the taste is very delicious.

   It was Xu Guoqiang's parents and one of his younger sisters who were in charge of cooking. When it was time to eat, Xu Guoqiang was called over.

  Seeing that Xu Guoqiang is now wearing a cadre uniform with four pockets, his comrades joked.

  Xu Guoqiang first thanked Liu Qingshan, and then talked about trade, and revealed a lot of internal information.

   These are very helpful for the upcoming border trade.

  Having been on the road for several days, Liu Qingshan wanted to rest early, but someone called.

  Hearing Director Zhou’s hearty laughter from the phone, Liu Qingshan’s dark face appeared in front of his eyes.

  The voice of the big boss came over: "Manager Liu, you came to Heihe and didn't make a sound, it's so embarrassing!"

  Obviously, Da Laohei is in a good mood, this point, Liu Qingshan can also predict.

  He saw it all the time when he passed by. The business of the big hotel is booming, and it is naturally rich in money. Of course, the director, Da Laohei, is in a good mood.

  So he said with a smile: "Zhou Ju, congratulations."

   "It should be the same joy and joy. I will let you go today, and let's get together tomorrow." Director Zhou on the other end of the phone also knew that Liu Qingshan had just arrived, chatted for a few words, and then put down the phone.

  He is at the Longteng Business Hotel at the moment. In a conference hall of the hotel, the leaders of the city and the representatives of the city of Blagoveshchensk opposite are conducting the final consultations.

   "This Little Comrade Liu really has a business mind."

  Director Zhou said to himself, when he invested so much to build this hotel, he was always on the go.

  If you lose money, it will be miserable.

   But unexpectedly, before the border trade started, customers from all over the world gathered here, the hotel rooms were full every day, and the food and beverage department could not be ranked for dinner.

  And the representative of Bushi, who is facing the city, is also very satisfied with this big hotel, saying that people from their side must stay here as well.

  In this, there is the sudden increase in the floating population, and the strong signboard of the big hotel: it is opened by the police, and the safety is absolutely guaranteed.

   Those who come out to seek money and do business are most worried about safety issues.

  In addition, the design of the big hotel is relatively advanced, and it provides one-stop service for eating, drinking, having fun and discussing business.

  Director Zhou is completely convinced now, that Comrade Xiao Liu is definitely a money-giving boy.

  So when I met Li Xuemei and Xiaomei just now, and heard them say that Liu Qingshan came today, Director Zhou hurriedly called.

  After putting down the phone, Liu Qingshan chatted with everyone for a while, and went to bed early on the kang.

  It’s cold here in winter, so of course we have to sleep on the kang.

  Liu Qingshan was indeed a little tired, and slept until dawn.

  I also had a dream at night, dreaming of a big white bear, always dangling in front of my eyes...

   January 1, 1986 was the day when China and the Soviet Union officially restarted border trade.

  Two big countries that have been in love with each other for decades finally hold hands again.

   There are no eternal enemies, nor are there eternal friends.

   It’s just that time has passed and the circumstances of each other are completely different: the former younger brother is developing rapidly with each passing day;

   And the former Big Brother is already in decline.

  After breakfast, Liu Qingshan and his party set off for Daheihe Island carrying big and small packages.

  In the team, most of them are veterans, like a team of warriors going to the battlefield.

  Perhaps for them, this is indeed a battlefield without gunpowder.

   Creaking, the soles of the shoes stepped on the snow, making a pleasant sound.

  Just had a light snowfall, and the air was exceptionally fresh. Everyone was huffing and puffing, with clouds of white air coming out of their mouths, and a sheet of hoarfrost soon condensed on the top of the hat.

  Their warehouse is not far from the river, and the distance from Daheihe Island is less than three times away from the ground, and the distance from the river must be counted.

  Liu Qingshan walked in front of the team with two big burdens on his shoulders one in front of the other.

   Another new year, and he will embark on a new journey.

   Taking a deep breath of the cold air, looking at the big island standing in the middle of the river not far away, a confident smile appeared on the corner of Liu Qingshan's mouth:

  Hello, 1986!

   Thinking about the Maozi he was about to face, Liu Qingshan smiled again, maybe he should say this: 1986, Shao Hala!

   There are some vendors walking in the direction of Dadao.

  One by one, they all carry umbrellas.

   Those who dared to do business with Maozi when the port was first opened were not ordinary people.

  As a pioneer, among this group of people, it is unknown how many millionaires, multi-millionaires or even billionaires will be born in the future.

   It's just that now, apart from excitement, most of the people's faces are a little bit confused.

   They haven’t dealt with each other for decades, and they don’t know what kind of goods they need.

  Liu Qingshan even saw a person carrying two large baskets, one containing frozen pear eggs, and the other containing frozen fish.

  If you want to talk about frozen pears, maybe you can change something. Frozen fish, you have to pick them out no matter how you pick them out. The most indispensable thing in Maozi is fish.

  I came to the riverside without knowing it. There is a border guard station here to conduct a preliminary inspection.

  Liu Qingshan and the others had already been completed with the help of Xu Guoqiang. When it was his turn to pass the post, the team of soldiers saluted him with a slap.

   Liu Qingshan was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that when he came last year, he went to the border defense station and sang a song "Little Baiyang", so these soldiers should all know him.

   It’s just that there were too many soldiers at that time, so of course Liu Qingshan couldn’t remember all of them.

  He is not from a military background, so it is not easy to return the military salute, so he can only nod his head: "Comrades have worked hard."

   All the businessmen looked at him with surprise: Why does it feel a bit like the head of the army inspecting?

  Xiao Wu grinningly took out a small box of bubble gum and stuffed it to the monitor who led the team, but after saluting, he said that he could not accept things.

   "We are all one family, this thing is for chewing and blowing bubbles." Xiao Wu said in his mouth, and demonstrated it, spitting out a bubble.

   It’s just that it’s a little cold outside, the bubbles are a little small, and then burst with a snap, sticking to Xiao Wu’s nose.

  The soldiers suppressed their laughter, but they also recognized Xiao Wu, so they accepted the bubble gum.

  After walking a few hundred meters, I went to Dadao, where the inspection is stricter, and all the packages brought in have to be opened for inspection.

  Seeing the person in front, he checked alone for more than ten minutes, Liu Qingshan and the others couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

  But when it was their turn, it didn't take five minutes in total. It turned out that Xu Guoqiang happened to be in the inspection team.

  Finally entered the trading floor, which is similar to an open-air shed, and there is no heating equipment, but it can block the wind, so it is warmer than outside.

   It is probably the first time, no one has any experience, the trading area is messy, there is no classification, and even the location is not divided, people are all wandering around with bags on their backs.

  Some furs also came from the opposite side, covering each one like a big bear.

  Both sides looked at each other with curious eyes, a bit staring at each other.

   It’s not just people here who are curious about Mao Zi, the same reason, Mao Zi is the same.

  Look at the products they brought, they are also very strange, such as big Lieba, kvass and so on.

   It is estimated that the same is true, and I don't know how to exchange.

  Everything is just beginning, just getting in touch, and both are in the trial stage.

   Only Liu Qingshan and his group are exceptions. They are well prepared, and they are holding back the fire.

  Liu Qingshan first occupied a space in the trading hall, and asked everyone to display all kinds of goods. There were no shelves, so he could only spread dark green canvas on the floor, and then place the goods on it.

   There are two big signs standing behind it, which introduce Longteng Trading Company in Chinese and Russian.

   At the top is the company's license and various documents, and below are pictures of various products.

  This simplest publicity board, if it is at the Canton Fair, no one is willing to take a second look.

  But this kind of grass-roots team, in the hall, is already considered relatively high-end.

  Brother Gang Zifei, Li Xuemei and Xiaomei are looking at the stall here. They can speak Russian and are responsible for soliciting business.

  Liu Qingshan told them: When you see a Maozi coming, you can talk to the other party in Russian. Regardless of whether you want to exchange goods or not, first hold a small wine glass, give the other party a glass of high-quality liquor, and then present a ham sausage.

   If you want to quickly form word of mouth and expand the popularity of Longteng Trading Company, you have to play like this first.

  Liu Qingshan picked up a bottle of liquor, threw it in the air, and then caught it again: "This tactic is called a grenade offensive."

   "Is it okay to do this?" Gangzi was a little confused.

  Anyway, if he went to Yangcheng to buy goods, and someone offered to bring him food and drink, he would not dare to move. What if something was done inside?

   Just as he was talking, two tall and round men approached him, one with a big bald head and the other with a big beard, with two pairs of rebellious eyes, looking around curiously.

  Xiaomei was about to say hello to Master Hara, but when she saw that these two guys didn't look like good people, she didn't dare to say anything.

   It was Li Xuemei who was the most courageous girl, and greeted her in a whisper.

  The two boys immediately stopped in front of Liu Qingshan's booth, lowered their heads to look at the products, and their eyes kept flickering with surprise.

   "Hey, Maozi is blind." Xiao Wu poked Liu Qingshan.

  Liu Qingshan chuckled twice: "Maozi's eyeballs are originally flowers."

   And Brother Fei had already opened a bottle of wine, those two brats immediately twitched their noses.

  Brother Fei poured two small glasses of wine, handed them to the two boys, and poured a small glass himself, but he didn't drink it, but handed it to the professional bartender beside him: Comrade Li Tieniu.

   "Come on, make one!"

  Li Tieniu picked up the wine glass and drank it down.

  Brother Fei smiled and said, "Ta Di Na!"

  In fact, he didn’t need to say cheers, the two boys had already poured the wine into their mouths eagerly, and they were also stuffy.

   After finishing the drink, they kept smacking their lips, with a look of aftertaste on their faces.

  The originally fierce and unruly eyes were also a little more intoxicated, as if they had been softened by the alcohol.

  Everyone couldn't help but be overjoyed: It seems that the grenade offensive is effective!
