Hello 1983

  Chapter 465 Calm down, please calm down

  Liu Qingshan still took out two pieces of bubble gum from his pocket and threw them to the big bald head and the bearded man. How does this feel like when he was at home, going up the mountain every morning to feed the big bear?

  The two of them chewed with a smile on their faces, and then blew big bubbles very ostentatiously.

  Don't say it, this level has improved, and the bubbles are blowing quite big.

   This is also very good, it is free advertising.

   It’s okay to be idle, so Gangzi chatted with them. The bald head is called Dadlov, and the bearded one is Andre.

  It is similar to what Liu Qingshan expected. Both of them are gangsters in cloth city.

   "I said big carrot, you are addicted to collecting protection fees, aren't you? Every day we come to collect protection fees?" Gangzi joked after getting acquainted with them.

  Liu Qingshan couldn't help laughing beside him: he even called a big bald head a big carrot, and this guy nodded cheerfully in agreement.

  The big radish wiped his bald head:

   "My friend, the economy is in a recession now, and our life is not easy. We can't even drink vodka. Well, let's have another glass of wine. Your wine is quite strong."

  Liu Qingshan said to Gangzi: "Tell him, now that the border trade is open, if you drag something over there, you can come to our place to exchange wine and bubble gum."

  He doesn't care what the identity of the other party is, as long as he can bring him the goods he needs, he is a good comrade.

  Dadlov's eyes lit up: "Then what goods do you all need, we, the Black Bear Gang, will definitely be able to get them."

  Bear Gang, isn’t this a litter of bear bags?

  Everyone couldn’t help laughing, but in Maozi’s eyes, the bear is a symbol of bravery and strength, so it’s justifiable to call it this name.

  Just after receiving Liu Qingshan's instruction, he asked: "Big Carrot, can you get steel?"

  Steel is Liu Qingshan's favorite material, because at the moment, their production of steel is insufficient, as long as they can get it back, they don't have to worry about leaving home.

  Dadlov shook his head after hearing this: "I can't get steel. I have to go to Komsomolsk Amur. It is the largest industrial base in the Far East. It can even produce steel for warships and tanks."

  Aren't we building warships and tanks? As soon as Liu Qingshan heard it, he knew that this guy had misunderstood, so he said: "Just tell him, we are talking about scrap steel."

  As soon as he heard that it was scrap steel, Dadlov's eyes lit up immediately: "Can the tank work?"

   You are a waste of ammunition, right? Why did you fight with tanks?

   You try driving a tank over here, we don’t have to do business, let’s fight the war first, then you are considered aggression!

  I just heard the bearded Andre add from the side: "We have a lot of abandoned tanks and armored vehicles over there, all of which have dismantled the power system and weapon system, and they are thrown outside the city. Do you want it?"

  When the border between China and the Soviet Union was tense, troops were stationed on the opposite side. Later, in 1979, the relationship eased and the troops withdrew.

  Those old and bulky weapons were simply discarded.

   On Maozi's side, everything else is lacking, except for steel, and they don't want to pick up junk.

  After listening to these two guys finish their speech with signs and gestures, everyone was also taken aback for a while.

  Especially veterans like Zhang Long, they think it’s a fantasy: Tanks are thrown away as soon as they say, isn’t this a prodigal?

  The old squad leader hurriedly said to Liu Qingshan: "The steel that can be used to make tanks is definitely a good thing, and it must be!"

  Liu Qingshan nodded to him with a smile, and then said to Gangzi: "Tell them, they must be cut into steel plates, and they can't just bring the tanks over."

   "The price, you tell him first, a case of wine is exchanged for a ton of steel."

  Everyone turned their surprised eyes to Liu Qingshan: they have been busy buying goods these past few months, so they know some market conditions.

  The price of steel is about 2,000 yuan per ton, and the price of scrap steel is nearly 1,000 yuan per ton.

  And the steel used to make tanks, can it be considered scrap steel?

   How much is your box of liquor, only a little over ten yuan, okay?

  Gangzi tugged at his earlobe: "Did you hear me right, a ton of steel and a box of liquor?"

   "Didn't you listen to what they said, those things are thrown out of the city and no one wants them, so they just pay for shipping, and we have to pay taxes here."

  Liu Qingshan felt that it seemed quite appropriate for the gangsters of the Black Bear Gang to do this job.

  As for the cost of customs clearance, it is currently in the trial operation stage, and only some tariffs are charged symbolically, which is almost negligible.

  Gangzi could only shake his head helplessly: Well, you are the leader and you have the final say.

  So he took two steps back and told Dadlov about the transaction plan.

  He was really worried that the other party would become angry and smash the wine bottle on his head.

   Sure enough, the bald head and the bearded man went mad with anger, dancing around with the wine bottles in their hands, and screaming strangely.

   Now even Li Tie and the others became nervous, fully on alert, ready to strike at any time, and subdue these two crazy big bears.

   "Friends, you are indeed the most trustworthy friends." Dadlov hugged Gangzi fiercely and started to circle on the ground.

   Li Tie and the others were also stunned: To fight or not to fight?

   "Don't worry, the first batch of steel will definitely arrive in three days. My friends, get the wine ready!" Andre also danced.

   Then everyone realized: It turned out that they were not angry, but happy.

   "Happy cooperation!" Liu Qingshan said cheerfully, everything is under control.

   "Dear Comrade Liu, you will always be a friend of our Black Bear Gang."

  Andrei and Dadlov bowed to Liu Qingshan together.

  For them, those scrap steel materials have no capital at all, and a box of white wine is worth at least a few hundred rubles. Of course, they have made a lot of money from this business.

   These two guys are still action-oriented, and they didn't procrastinate at all. They left directly, probably in a hurry to go back to dismantle the tank.

  After Maozi left, Yu Guangming went to Liu Qingshan's side: "Is this business still possible?"

  Liu Qingshan nodded: "Everyone takes what they need."

  Yu Guangming understood a little bit, and asked in a low voice: "Can we get special steel, I think our troops will definitely need it?"

   "Don't worry, take your time, everything is possible." Liu Qingshan knew that someone would be able to replace the plane in a few years, let alone special steel.

  Everyone started to pack up their things, preparing to close the stall early, and it was meaningless to lean here.

   It’s just that there are a lot of goods in exchange and on credit, and it is estimated that they have to go back and forth several times.

  I was putting things away when I heard an excited voice: "Hou, I'm coming!"

  Liu Qingshan turned his head and saw that it was Ivanov who was hugging Hou San warmly.

   "Comrade coward, I thought you ran away." Hou San was also very happy, because it proved that he had good eyesight and saw the right person.

   "My friend, even if my legs are broken, I will crawl over." The expression on Ivanov's face was full of excitement and determination.

After this guy returned to the city of Buenos Aires yesterday, he stood on the side of the road and yelled a few times, and then a large box of goods was robbed, leaving only Ivanov holding a thick stack of banknotes in his hand, dumbfounded. .

   More than a thousand rubles, just got it like this, which made Ivanov feel unreal.

   You must know that the ruble has not depreciated at this time, and it is still very strong.

  Internationally, it is said that the exchange rate with the US dollar is one to one. Of course, it is unknown whether anyone has exchanged it in this way.

  Even if it cannot reach this level, it can still be compared with the current Huaxia currency.

  So the impact of the thousand rubles on Ivanov can be imagined.

  Back home, Ivanov was up half the night, so he came a little late today.

  After hugging Hou San cordially, Ivanov bowed to thank Liu Qingshan, and then took out a handful of rubles: "My friend, I want to use all the money to purchase goods."

   It was the first time for everyone to see rubles, and even most of them saw foreign money for the first time, and they gathered around to look at it strangely.

  Liu Qingshan waved his hand: "We don't need rubles."

  Ivanov was immediately stunned: "But, but I really can't come up with any supplies?"

   "Friend, we don't need your supplies, we just need your information." Liu Qingshan issued the first task to Ivanov:

   Ask him to investigate the price level of the cloth market and the situation of industrial and mining enterprises, the more detailed the better, the reward is a box of liquor.

  Ivanov heard this, and immediately left happily. He knew that his fate might change because of this, so he had to seize this opportunity.

  Liu Qingshan and the others left the big island early, and today there are even more second-hand traffickers waiting by the river.

   At the end of the calculation, today's income broke through 50,000 yuan in one fell swoop.

   This is the second transaction. If you follow this trend, you can easily break through one million in one month, and you can completely pay back in two months.

  Everyone couldn't hide their excitement: It turned out that doing business with Mao Zi made so much money.

   "Calm down, let's all be calm, okay, this is just a small fight." Liu Qingshan also looked at the excited crowd with a smile.

  Everyone thinks about the upcoming steel trade, which is even more lucrative, so they become even more excited. As for calmness, it is good to have calmness like you at the helm.

  In the evening, Liu Qingshan led Zhang Long, Hou San and Li Tieniu and drove to Longteng Business Hotel.

  Since it is the client introduced by Xu Guoqiang, it must have a certain influence in the cloth city, and it may be a big business.

  It seems that Xu Guoqiang's line is now starting to play a role, and the original investment is still very worthwhile.

  Drove to the downstairs of Longteng Hotel, only to find that it was full of all kinds of vehicles and there was no room at all.

  Liu Qingshan and the others got down and asked Li Tieniu, who was driving, to park the car opposite.

  As soon as he got out of the car, he saw Xu Guoqiang getting out of a Volgar, with a tall and thin middle-aged man beside him.

   Unlike the scruffy guys you see on the trading floor, this guy is clean and well-fitting.

   There is an imposing manner in every gesture, especially a pair of gray-blue eyes, which are very sharp.

   Seeing Liu Qingshan and others, Xu Guoqiang also showed joy, and quickly introduced to both parties: "Comrade Sergey, this is the Manager Liu I told you about."

  Liu Qingshan came forward to shake hands with a smile. Unexpectedly, this Sergey had an indifferent expression.

  Liu Qingshan didn't care either, Maozi had a sense of superiority that Lao Tzu was number one in the world.

  That's why in the international community, popularity is so mixed up.

  However, Liu Qingshan has the confidence to use his strength to conquer his opponents, because the whole world has begun to enter an era where capital is king.

   A group of people entered the hotel lobby, Zhang Long whispered beside Liu Qingshan: "This Sergey should also come from the army."

  Liu Qingshan nodded. Although he didn't know how Zhang Long observed it, he believed that Zhang Long's vision must be correct.

  Because that Sergey also paid close attention to Zhang Long and Li Tieniu, and his peers were sometimes rivals, especially when they belonged to different countries.

  Longteng Hotel, the interior decoration is still very high-grade, the lobby is very spacious and looks resplendent.

  Enter the reserved box, seat the guests and the host, and the waiter hands over the menu.

  The menus are marked in the languages ​​of the two countries. Liu Qingshan asked Sergey to order first. After all, he is the real master here.

   "Comrade Sergey, please don't be polite. This hotel was invested and built by Manager Liu and his Longteng Company."

  Xu Guoqiang put the menu in front of Sergey, and praised Liu Qingshan, which is the benefit of his own people.

  Sergey's face is slightly calm. It seems that he has some strength to be able to run such a big hotel.

  So he casually ordered two Russian-style dishes, and instead of handing the menu to Liu Qingshan, he handed it to Zhang Long who was sitting next to Liu Qingshan.

   Obviously in his heart, he needs to recognize Zhang Long more.

  Zhang Long also handed the menu to Liu Qingshan, and Liu Qingshan waved his hand, indicating that they can order.

   Hou San stood up and poured tea for Sergey, but his wrist was grabbed by Sergey's fingers, and then he heard Sergey mumble something, Hou San immediately blushed with anger.

   When the other party let go of his hand, Hou San's wrist had already been clenched with a blue mark.

  Liu Qingshan patted Hou San on the shoulder with a smile, then took the water bottle in his hand, and asked him to help translate:

   "Mr. Sergey, our custom here is to treat guests with tea, please!"

   That Sergey also shot like lightning, and his slender and powerful fingers also grabbed Liu Qingshan's wrist.

  But Liu Qingshan is not Hou San, Sergey tried his best, the chair under his buttocks creaked, but he still couldn't stop Liu Qingshan's arm from moving forward slowly.

  Huh, huh, a stream of amber tea was poured into the tea bowl, and Sergey's face was suffocated thicker than the black tea.

   This pleasant buzzing sound was so harsh to Sergey's ears.

   "Tea, please."

  Liu Qingshan slowly withdrew his arm, still looking at the other party with a smile.

   To deal with an arrogant guy like Maozi, sometimes you need to show off your muscles, otherwise, they will really look down on you.

  The arrogant arrogance on Sergey's face was really extinguished by the tea. He glanced at Liu Qingshan in surprise, then picked up the tea bowl in front of him angrily, took a sip, and grinned from being scalded.

Should!

  Hou San felt much happier immediately: You don't know, our boss has bears in his house, and he is best at training bears.
