After Black Lotus became a reborn person, he went completely crazy

Chapter 607: Transportation

After some bargaining, Xia Ran exchanged two leather jackets, a pair of sneakers, two bottles of white wine, two bars of soap and two tubes of toothpaste for this half-used motorcycle.

Xia Ran gave the two bars of soap and two tubes of toothpaste to the other party as gifts after she negotiated the price and learned that the other party was a veteran of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.

Regardless of their nationality, these ordinary soldiers are still worthy of respect.

It's just that there are too many people and it's not convenient to chat more, otherwise Xia Ran really wants to have a good chat with them to see if there are any good business opportunities.

In response to the extra gifts Xia Ran gave him, the other party kept praising Xia Ran as a good person and a trustworthy international friend.

Xia Ran accepted it with a shameless smile.

Later, Xia Ran exchanged for a lot of telescopes, electric shavers, ice skates, cameras, etc.

All new.

If you ask the reason, it is that the overall prices in Dasu are very low and extremely cheap.

There really is no goods that are available at the current price in Dasu.

If there are any, they are surplus products that are not needed locally and have extremely large production volumes.

In addition, in order to maintain the stability of the social welfare system, their countries implement subsidy policies on various prices.

This results in all prices being exceptionally low.

For example, the cost price of one kilogram of oil is more than 8 rubles, but it is sold to the outside world for only 3 rubles.

The cost price of beef is more than 5 rubles, but it is sold for only more than 1 ruble.

The cost of a loaf of bread was a little over one ruble, but it could be sold for dozens of kopecks.

This means that the country is selling at a loss, and the difference in price is filled by fiscal subsidies.

They not only subsidize food, but also public transportation, rent, and agriculture.

In the mid-to-late 80s, various financial subsidies alone accounted for 15%-18% of the total Soviet state budget expenditures.

It is not so much the collapse of the political system as the collapse of the economic system.

Their countries are completely unable to make ends meet and can no longer sustain themselves.

Originally, things like telescopes were not allowed to be sold outside.

But in the face of the cruel reality of life, the border guards responsible for inspection just turned a blind eye.

This behavior was accepted by everyone.

These Russians have been in our country for a long time, so they know that these things are popular in our country.

Whenever they come here, those who have enough money will buy some goods from them and bring them over.

By trading goods back and forth like this, you can exchange them for more food and daily necessities.

Of course, those who are not well-off can only exchange with us the things they used and wore when they were in their heyday.

During the transaction, someone asked Xia Ran about food, but unfortunately Xia Ran didn't have any.

After working until after ten o'clock, Xia Ran closed the stall.

The two large bags of things she brought, along with all the small items she had smuggled out when no one was paying attention, were all exchanged out, leaving nothing behind.

She wanted to continue, but she couldn't go too far and treat everyone like fools, so she had to stop.

The group of people led by Lao Peng were almost the same as Xia Ran, all of them had been replaced.

Finally, they all gathered around Xia Ran and told each other about their battle situations.

After comparing the accounts with each other, it was found that Xia Ranhua's price was the highest under the same circumstances.

Who said that we should ruthlessly harvest the other side's border residents and asked everyone to work hard, but in the end she herself was dragging her feet.

If this wasn't their boss, they would definitely make fun of each other.

Xia Ran was also helpless. She felt that she was cruel enough and found that the current market was far more cruel than she thought.

Lao Peng said: "It's okay, you are the boss, just direct us from behind."

Xia Ran:……

I thought to myself, it would be better if you didn’t comfort me.

Xia Ran changed the subject, "Does the motorcycle need to be registered at the customs?"

"If you need it, just give it to them to process. We have exchanged two more cars today besides yours, so we can go and process it together."

At the same time, we arranged for someone to find a car because everyone had too much stuff and it was difficult to get it back.

Xia Ran: "I'll leave this one for you all to ride, but there is one requirement: you must drive at a low speed unconditionally, and you can't race."

"We took note of it."

Xia Ran asked: "Should we get a big truck specifically for transporting goods?"

"Boss, does the funding allow?" everyone asked.

If there is a truck nearby to assist, they can bring back more stuff.

"Okay, when Manager Wang Jun comes back tonight, we'll discuss which model of truck would be more suitable. We'll then give everyone a small truck that's more convenient for hauling goods.

I took a quick look at the big truck when I was in the capital the other day.

The cheaper Yuejin 131, the mid-priced Dongfeng EQ140 and Jiefang CA141, and the more expensive JAC HF150 all have good load capacity and performance.

"Boss, are we going to build such a big car all at once?"

"Well, once all the personnel are in place, we can also take care of the transportation as well. Otherwise, if we rely solely on rail transportation, we will be easily blocked."

The profits have not yet been realized, but once the news of the astonishing profits of barter spreads, there will definitely be people from all links rushing in and getting involved.

People don't need to do much, just delaying your goods for a few more days is enough to miss and lose a lot of opportunities and things.

Not to mention other problems during transportation.

For example, if the clothes you are transporting are piled next to smelly things and transported together, the clothes will be pickled with the smell.

How can we sell it? Who can we sell it to? These are all unstable factors.

The main reason is that Xia Ran also wants to take advantage of the large number of people to set up a few transportation lines of his own.

Others worry about their safety on the road, but she doesn't need to worry.

"Sure, Boss. Wouldn't that make us even more powerful in the future?"

"Yes, that's my plan. I'll try my best to make it easy for everyone to pick up goods without any worries."

"Boss, are there enough people?"

"Not enough, but we have already contacted them and they are on their way."

Wang Lei asked: "Boss, do we still need anyone?"

"Yes, why, do you want to introduce someone?"

"Is it okay, Boss?"

Xia Ran: "I have no problem with introductions, but please think it through before you introduce me. If there are any problems with the person you introduced later, I will directly hold you responsible."

"That's no problem. Also, Boss, is it okay if he's a little less skilled? He can cook, and he cooks pretty well. Do you want him? He's quite smart, and he's my childhood friend."

"Okay, if you're good at bartering, then barter. If you're not good, then become a chef and cook for everyone."

Xia Ran's words were the beginning of the conversation, and everyone started asking, who didn't have any relatives, friends, comrades-in-arms, etc.

"Boss, what about us? Can you introduce someone to us?"

“People can be introduced, but let me be frank. The people we use here are all people we know well. For example, Wang Lei and his colleagues were introduced by their former leaders.

I hope that when you recommend someone, you will do so with an objective and fair attitude, rather than based on how close you are to that person.
