Song Yunping and his wife took Xiaohui and Cheng Kaiyan to visit all the scenic spots in Beijing. Due to the many things in Jinzhou chemical plant, Xiaohui was also in a hurry to go back.
Shortly after sending Xiao Hui and Cheng Kaiyan away, Lei Dongbao specially ran to Xu Huizhen's tavern.
It was still three o'clock in the afternoon, before dinner time. When Lei Dongbao came to find him, there were only a few customers in the tavern. Lei Dongbao said that he had something important to discuss with him, so Xu Huizhen asked Cai Wuwu to look after the tavern and brought Lei Dongbao to the backyard.
Last month, Xu Huizhen and Cai Wuyou secretly registered their marriage and only invited Lei Dongbao, Master Niu, and some other trusted friends to their house for dinner.
"Huizhen, you let Cai Quanwu stay alone in front while we stay in the backyard. Aren't you afraid that he'll be jealous?”Lei Dongbao teased.
Xu Huizhen said calmly," Dongfang Bao, you're being petty. Our Cai Quanwu can't be blind. Besides, your wife, Song Yunping, is so good-looking. Why would she mess around?"”
"Huizhen, I have good news for you." Lei Dongbao quickly said.”
"What good news?" Xu Huizhen looked at Lei Dongbao with bright eyes.
Lei Dongbao smiled and said," The border trade of the Soviet Union will be opened next week. I think this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Do you want to do it with me?"”
"Is that true?" Xu Huizhen obviously sensed a business opportunity.
"Don't you know who I am?" Lei Dongbao asked. Have I ever lied to you?"
Xu Huizhen thought for a moment. Lei Dongbao was indeed a loyal and reliable person. She asked again,"Then why don't you do it yourself?"
Lei Dongbao sighed." I don't know anyone in Russia. Besides, I don't have much money now." I remember that Russian people used to come to your tavern.”
"Yes! Previously, there was a Russian diplomat called Flamiquil. He often came to my tavern to drink. Now, he seems to have returned to Russia.”Xu Huizhen said excitedly.
"Is he reliable?" Lei Dongbao asked doubtfully.”
Xu Huizhen said," He's reliable. Besides, we're only looking for him to help us translate and contact the local government. We just need to pay him more for his hard work."”
Lei Dongbao nodded." That's for the best. If we have the help of the locals, we can suffer less in Russia."”
"What kind of business do you plan to do?" Xu Huizhen asked again.”
"We'll go to Russia to sell clothes and daily necessities. Then, we'll bring in steel, motorcycles, and bulldozers to sell!" Lei Dongbao said.”
"Are you sure this will work?" Xu Huizhen asked. Bulldozers and motorcycles are very expensive. What if we spend so much money and it's not easy to sell them in the country?”
"Huizhen, don't worry. I guarantee that it'll sell well!" Lei Dongbao said confidently. How much savings do you have now? Let's pool together. Once the border trade policy is implemented, we have to be the first to enter the market.”
Lei Dongbao had come from that era, so he naturally knew what things were easy to sell and earn money.
Xu Huizhen was silent for a while." I'll discuss this matter with our Cai Wuyou first. Can you come over again tonight?" she asked.”
"Alright! Huizhen, you seem to be the one in charge of this family, but Cai Wuyou is actually your strategist behind the scenes, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have married down." Lei Dongbao was not in a hurry for these few hours. He joked.
"Dong Bao, you understand. Cai Wuwei is my military officer. I must discuss major matters at home with the military officer.”Xu Huizhen also smiled.
Lei Dongbao followed Xu Huizhen out. He looked at Cai Wuyou and said,""Huizhen, I guess your family's military will definitely agree.”
Cai Wuwu was left behind, clearing the table with a blank expression.
......
In the evening, Lei Dongbao arrived as promised. As expected, Cai Wuyou also strongly supported Xu Huizhen and Lei Dongbao to do border trade together after hearing the news.
Cai Wuwu was a man who appeared honest on the surface, but was actually modest and wise. He read newspapers and books every day and knew the policy direction of many countries. Naturally, he knew that opening up border trade was an extremely rare opportunity.
Xu Huizhen and her husband discussed for a while and decided to temporarily close the tavern. They took out 100,000 yuan from their savings and went to Russia with Lei Dongbao for an inspection.
The three of them packed their luggage and boarded the plane to Moscow the next day.
Chen Xueru, who was also a neighbor, soon found out that Lei Dongbao had gone abroad with Xu Huizhen and Cai Wu. Chen Xueru speculated for a long time, but she still couldn't figure out what they wanted.
After the three of them arrived in Moscow, they quickly contacted their old friend Flamiquil. Through him, they got to know the boss of the steel factory, the owner of the motorcycle, and the bulldozer.
After several rounds of negotiations, both parties quickly confirmed their intention to cooperate.
Russian down jackets were very expensive, and Lei Dongbao had a supply company in Guangzhou that could buy them at a low price. Therefore, after each down jacket was sold in Russia, excluding the shipping costs, he could earn more than 500 yuan.
A motorcycle worth 5000 yuan produced in Russia could be sold for more than 9000 yuan in China. A bulldozer could only be sold for about 50,000 to 70,000 yuan in Russia, but it could be sold for more than 150,000 yuan in China!
Such a shocking trade balance also made the people who did border trade in the early days rich.
Lei Dongbao relied on his foresight to register the first private border trade company in Manchuria, Inner Mongolia.
The company's business covered wood, steel, daily necessities, food, cars, and other projects. Together with Xu Huizhen, he became the leader of this wholesale border trade.
After Chen Xueru discovered the two people's business, she was very dissatisfied and quickly joined the craze. The three bosses on Zhengyang Street made a lot of money in this international trade.
