Hello 1983

  Chapter 740 Ten tons of gold

  After breakfast the next day, Liu Qingshan returned to Heihe, preparing to communicate the situation with the border guards and Sergey.

  If there are no problems, take Dongshan Village as the base.

  When getting into the car, Lao Wang and Lao Guo also got into the car, and a few good guys from Dongshan Village also squeezed into the car, almost crushing the two jeeps.

   This period of time is the busiest time for importing and exporting goods, so Wang Yufeng and the others definitely cannot stay at home.

  Those new boys came here to see the situation, and secondly, there was a shortage of manpower anyway, so they worked for two months first.

  In addition, each family also sent a strong laborer, led by village head Guo, to the village first to take a bus to the county, and then to Heihe.

   "Wait for me, I haven't got in the car yet!" Li Tieniu saw that the car was full, and immediately became anxious.

  Liu Qingshan pulled the car window: "Your physique is worth two by yourself. Just stay in the village. In a few days, someone will be sent to clean up the house and install the equipment. You should come here to help."

  Liu Qingshan didn't intend to take Li Tieniu back at all, he had already thought about it: it was rare that a girl and Li Tieniu saw each other's eyes, and they happened to have more contact.

   Anyway, Tie Niu is not the second senior brother, no matter how much he drinks, he will not show his original shape.

  The two jeeps quickly disappeared from the sight of the villagers, and Village Chief Guo waved his hand: "Let's go!"

  There are more than 20 strong laborers behind them, all carrying luggage rolls, walking towards the countryside in the south.

   It took me a long time to run for more than a hundred miles before I got home. The car drove directly to the warehouse and unloaded Wang Yufeng and the others.

  These people were dumbfounded as soon as they got off the car: the warehouse door was coming in and out, and the big trucks were lined up, and the trucks were full of all kinds of goods.

  Even the open space outside the warehouse is full of logs, as well as various steel products, fertilizers...

   "Don't look at it, go in and put the salute away, and start working. Remember the precautions I told you halfway, and be sure to pay attention to safety."

  Wang Yufeng led several people into the warehouse, and soon got into work.

  Liu Qingshan also came down, ready to take a stroll around the courtyard, mainly to look at the batch of gold in the warehouse, and the Russian jade that was shipped over this year.

   I saw a lot of vehicles parked there, waiting to be unloaded.

  During this period, both sides seized the time and delivered the goods like crazy. There were no stevedores in the whole city.

  It seems that it is a wise move to call Village Chief Guo of Dongshan Village to support them.

   There was a bang, and the bottom of the big cardboard box that a porter was holding was cracked, and the goods inside were scattered all over the floor, all of them were nesting dolls.

   Fortunately, it was relatively low from the ground and did not break.

  These large carts are filled with matryoshka dolls of various colors and styles. They are traded and ready to be transported to the capital. They will be sold inside after the mall opens.

  Liu Qingshan's plan is to set up a special Russian goods area to sell Maozi's goods.

  Clothes like woolen coats, big leather boots, and Bragi;

   There are also matryoshka dolls, Bogorodsko carvings, birch bark crafts, various silver and crystal ornaments, etc.;

  Of course, the telescope is also indispensable. As for food and the like, let’s forget it for the time being. There is not enough food for Maozi, and the price/performance ratio is not high.

   Therefore, these items should be stocked more. I believe that for Chinese people in this era, the name of foreign products is still very attractive.

  Liu Qingshan was helping the workers clean up the matryoshka dolls on the ground, when he heard Mandarin with a strange accent behind him:

   "Oh, Liu, my friend, I really want to kill me!"

   Liu Qingshan looked back, and saw Medvic, who was like a big brown bear, followed by several strong men.

  Medvic ran over with open arms and gave Liu Qingshan a big hug.

   This guy was really excited, and wanted to hug Liu Qingshan for a few laps, but Liu Qingshan turned him like a windmill instead.

  When Liu Qingshan put him on the ground, this guy was walking straight, and he was still muttering:

   "How come there is a feeling of drinking too much vodka?"

  Medvic followed Liu Qingshan to the office like this, and he finally recovered, and then put on a bitter face:

   "Oh Liu, I'm screwed, I'm screwed!"

  This guy has a fierce face, and now he deliberately puts on a look of wronging Bara, which looks very funny.

  Liu Qingshan didn't speak, just watched his performance with a smile.

  Medvic became manic again, wandering back and forth on the ground, like a **** bear with nowhere to go:

   "Liu, the port is closing, we can no longer do business, it's too bad!"

   In the past two years, Medvic's Black Bear Gang has had a full belly.

   Now suddenly, he strangled his neck and was not allowed to eat anything. He really wanted to die.

  If he hadn’t done border trade business before, Medvic would have felt that grabbing territory every day and merging with other gangs was the whole of life.

   But after tasting the sweetness, Medvici realized the great charm and even greater power of money. Fighting and killing is a game played by fools.

  But following an order from above, he was about to lose this blow, so the black bear became irritable.

   After venting, Medvic took a peek at Liu Qingshan, and then stopped his performance:

   "Liu, why are you not in a hurry, do you have a better way?"

   This guy can become the leader of the Black Bear Gang, of course he has some brains.

  He originally wanted to use his anger to ignite Liu Qingshan's emotions, and then take advantage of the situation to discuss big plans together.

   As a result, the other party just sat there and watched him perform alone.

  Liu Qingshan spread his hands: "The port will be open in a few years, so why not just take a few years off?"

   Rest, no, of course you can't rest. When you lie on a chair to rest, can rubles drop from the sky?

   "Liu, we have to think of a way. Our cooperation has always been good and pleasant. How can we terminate it casually?"

  Medevich finally sat opposite Liu Qingshan, then stared into Liu Qingshan's eyes, and said with a serious expression:

   "Liu, I can handle the border inspection on our side, but I can't pass your side."

  Although on the surface, the border defenses on both sides are similar, and the conditions on Maozi’s side are even better. At least there are many watchtowers, which can be sheltered from the wind in winter.

  However, on Maozi’s side, the people’s hearts are unstable, the society is in turmoil, and they are already on the verge of collapse, so they are easy to buy.

   This is not difficult for Medvic, who is now rich and powerful. The wine bottle in his hand is more effective than a grenade.

   Throw it out with a swish, swish, and the opponent will be broken immediately.

   But this trick, when used on the border guards here, doesn't work at all.

   Liu Qingshan looked back at Medvic quietly: "My friend, if you can't handle things, I can't do anything either."

   Oh, **** it, Medvic put his head in his hands, looking hopeless.

  Liu Qingshan is not going to agree to Medevich, stretch this guy first.

  Because Liu Qingshan knows that the next two or three years will be the most difficult time for Maozi, and the supply of food and daily necessities will be extremely short.

   If you don't take advantage of this rare opportunity to squeeze the wool hard, you will be sorry to Comrade Woodcutter.

  So kill Medvic's fantasy first, and then give him hope in the end. Presumably, in future transactions, he can lead Medvic by the nose.

   The depressed Medvic left in a hurry without even eating.

  Of course he will not be reconciled to this, and must seek other ways.

   But on the Heihe side, apart from Liu Qingshan's Longteng Company, he probably couldn't find any other partners.

  The border guards are like the Great Wall of China, lying in front of Medvic, making it impossible for him to cross.

  Just after seeing off Medvic, Liu Qingshan welcomed two old friends: Ivanov and his wife Katyusha.

  Obviously, they couldn't sit still any longer, and went to Liu Qingshan's side to discuss.

  For these two, Liu Qingshan is more willing to regard them as friends. After hugging each other, Liu Qingshan pours hot tea for them.

   It can be seen that the faces of these two are also a bit bad, but they are not as strong as Medvic.

  Especially Ivanov, from being penniless at the beginning to now being considered a rich man in the city of Buenos Aires, so he is relatively content.

  Since Liu Qingshan regards them as friends, he doesn't hide anything from them. After chatting a few words, he directly cuts to the topic:

   "Although the port is closed, we, Longteng, have other channels, so the shops over there should be able to continue to open."

  Unexpectedly, Katyusha shook her head: "Liu, thank you, our friend, but we may have to leave the city for a while."

  Ivanov also got up and bowed to Liu Qingshan: "Liu, thank you for taking care of me these years, you are my forever friend."

   This was a bit unexpected for Liu Qingshan, he thought for a while, then frowned:

   "Katyusha, according to my judgment, the chaos in your country is likely to intensify, so at this time, it is not suitable to go to big cities, especially the capital, which will be the center of the whirlpool."

   "As a friend, I need to remind you that it is safer to stay here in a remote town like cloth city, where the mountains are high and the emperor is far away."

  Reminiscent of Katyusha's grandfather's identity, Liu Qingshan already knew where they were going, and going to the capital now was really the worst choice.

  Katyusha also stood up and hugged Liu Qingshan: "Thank you, Liu, but we have no choice. This is my grandfather's wish. He wants to stand up for the last post for this country!"

  Liu Qingshan could only sigh in his heart, and he could no longer dissuade an old man from his heart for the motherland.

  Because if you put yourself in his shoes, if it were him, he would make the same choice.

   "Then I wish you good luck, if you need help, you can contact me at any time."

  Liu Qingshan also patted Katyusha on the back lightly, and he was also full of respect for this brave girl.

  After thinking about it, Liu Qingshan added: "Katyusha, you must remember that we are friends."

   After seeing off Ivanov and Katyusha, Liu Qingshan was in a complicated mood. There would be no eggs under the nest, and I hope there will be a day to see you again.

  It was getting dark, Hou San came in and suggested to go and see the treasures in the warehouse, Liu Qingshan calmed down and followed Hou San to the warehouse.

  It was the warehouse where Russian jade was stored last time. The guard unlocked the door and turned on the lights in the warehouse at the same time.

   Liu Qingshan suddenly felt a little dazzling, and saw small wooden boxes placed one by one on the shelves in the warehouse.

  Under the light, the gaps in the wooden boxes emit golden light.

  Looking at the pine wood strips used for packaging, Liu Qingshan couldn't help shaking his head: This packaging is really rough enough.

   But the better thing is that these wooden boxes are strong enough, all made of thick pine boards.

   This is more in line with the usual style over there: rough but durable.

  It seems that when transporting to the capital, it is best to add another layer of packaging on the outside, at least you can't just take a look and know that it is filled with gold.

   Money touches people's hearts. If that's the case, I'm afraid this journey will not be peaceful.

  One ton of gold, but in terms of volume, it is actually not much, only a little over 0.05 cubic meters.

   It may be more intuitive to make a comparison, which is roughly equivalent to the size of a microwave oven.

   But you can easily lift up a microwave oven, but you can never lift up gold of the same volume, even Liu Qingshan's strength is useless.

  There are a total of nearly ten tons of gold here. In fact, it is only a small pile, but it is filled with dozens of wooden boxes.

   This is also a helpless thing. If you pretend too much, manpower will definitely not be able to lift it.

  Gold is in front, and Hou San's small eyes are staring at gold stars, he has to pry open a box and take out the gold nuggets to have a look.

   "Brother Hou, with your small physique, don't miss your foot."

  Liu Qingshan didn't stop him either, but just reminded him.

  Hou San took a crowbar, and after a lot of effort, he pried open a box, then stretched out his hand, and took out a gold nugget: "It's really heavy!"

   Liu Qingshan looked at the scale printed on it, 12.5 kilograms, can it not be heavy?

   "It's really a good thing. No wonder people love gold since ancient times." Hou San sighed, and put the gold nugget back.

  He clapped his hands: "But if I take this thing away, I can take away two dollars at most."

  Liu Qingshan smiled: "That's not necessarily true. Anyone who sees gold will be tempted, and if it is not complete, the potential will be stimulated."

   "It's like Hou Ge, when you married your wife, you can still hug Anna."

  Hou San laughed: "It can be the same, the daughter-in-law can stay with you for a lifetime, and the gold will always be spent."

   While talking, Hou San shook his hands: "It's still so easy. Although gold is a good thing, you can't carry it on your back all day."

  Liu Qingshan also laughed, stretched out his hand and patted Hou San's shoulder vigorously:

   "Hahaha, okay, brother Hou, congratulations, you are finally not crushed by gold."

  He doesn't want his brothers and subordinates to be blinded by money. Such people are destined to have limited achievements.

  Hou San was slapped short by him, muttering:

   "Boss, I wasn't overwhelmed by money, I was almost knocked down by you."
