The next day, Chu Yue went to the telephone and telegram office to call Tan Bing.
The call was connected to Tan Bing.
"Chu Yue, I've settled your matter!”
"Big brother, the situation here is really serious. The food shortage is too big, and the livelihood materials are also lacking. Not to mention the ordinary people here, even the army is lacking all kinds of materials!”
"I've contacted a very powerful buyer in Big Brother's military. He's willing to trade!”
"However, the army here doesn't have money either. The other party proposed a barter trade. They would use motorcycles and cars to exchange for canned food, clothes, and daily necessities.”
Tan Bing asked over the phone.
"Alright! That's exactly what I want!"
Chu Yue felt a little surprised!
He originally wanted to do barter trade, exchanging food, clothing, and daily necessities for industrial machinery.
Big Brother didn't have any money either. The ruble didn't keep its value at all, and international trade could only be exchanged for US dollars.
However, it was a huge loss.
Barter trade…
Although there was an additional procedure, the profits were high!
It was now 1989, and there was a shortage of industrial products in the country. The most popular motorcycle on the market was the Changjiang 750, the kind with a tipper on the side. The ex-factory price of one was about 3,000 yuan, but the actual market price was about 3,500 to 4,000 yuan.
The imported Yamaha motorcycles were already priced at more than 30,000 yuan.
If he went to Big Brother's place, he could exchange for a motorcycle…
It was a bit of an exaggeration to say that two thermos bottles were exchanged for a motorcycle. It was a coincidence. The age and model of the motorcycle were not mentioned, so it could not be used as a general standard.
However, twenty thermos bottles could be exchanged for almost one car.
If he used canned food, 30 to 50 cans of braised beef could be exchanged for a motorcycle, which was equivalent to buying a motorcycle for less than 150 yuan.
Even the cheapest motorcycle could be sold for at least 3,000 to 4,000 yuan in China.
Once they returned to the country, they would earn 15 to 30 times the profits!
It was eight times more profitable than directly exchanging it for US dollars!
Moreover, motorcycles were pretty good goods in this day and age. There was no need to worry about selling them!
"Alright, as long as you can accept it. How many goods do you plan to ship over?”Tan Bing asked.
"I want to transport a wagon full of goods!" Chu Yue replied.
"F * ck! You're really going too far!" When Tan Bing heard this, he was a little surprised.
Chu Yue recalled.
After his rebirth, Chu Yue realized that his memory had sharpened. He could recall many things in his memory with just a thought.
According to the information he had read in the future, he knew that the current market price was about 30 to 40 cans of meat for a motorcycle.
However, the big brother in the north was very rough in doing business. There was a lot of room for change in real transactions.
"Tan Bing, I plan to exchange 30 cans of meat, 15 shirts, or 20 thermos bottles for a motorcycle. You can negotiate with the buyer according to this price!”Chu Yue said.
"Chu Yue, you're a little ruthless!" Tan Bing was shocked. This price was too low for the people on Big Brother's side!”
"This is my base price. If you have the ability, you can negotiate a price lower than this. How much space can you negotiate?”Chu Yue used his trump card!
Tan Bing was obviously shocked!
"Chu Yue, you're good! Why do I feel like you've become so mature?”Tan Bing said.
Chu Yue smiled and said," Brother, I can't let you work for nothing. That's not fair. You should pay more attention."”
"I understand. You have the courage and ability, so I have to help you do it beautifully. Don't worry, I'll try my best to help you lower the price!”
"Good!"
Chu Yue hung up the phone after confirming the train number and the time of delivery.
He smiled in his heart.
This cousin of his, Tan Bing, was definitely one of his own and was quite reliable.
However, Tan Bing was not a person with a pure heart and few desires.
Chu Yue's base price was actually lower than the market price, and the benefits were huge. He might not be able to negotiate with Big Brother's people. The extent to which Tan Bing could negotiate with Big Brother's people depended on his ability.
Besides, they couldn't use their relatives for free. They had to give them some benefits.
Chu Yue handed this matter over to Tan Bing and did not think about it himself.
"I'm going to Big Brother's place to keep a wagon full of goods. This era isn't peaceful. I don't know if I'll encounter bandits on the road.”
Chu Yue thought.
He left the telephone office and went to find some people he was familiar with.
……
Two hours later, Chu Yue met with the five people gathered in an abandoned factory in the factory compound.
These five people were all Chu Yue's childhood friends and factory children.
Chu Yue was the king of children when he was young. These five had played together since they were young and knew each other well.
Chu Yue went straight to the point and said,""I'm going to do something big. I'm going to deliver a train full of canned food and clothes to Big Brother. I've arranged the goods and the train. I'm short of people to escort the train, so I'll pay for the tickets.”
"I won't lose you guys if I earn money. You don't have to force yourself if you don't want to go.”
Hearing Chu Yue's words, his childhood friends had different expressions.
"Damn it! Hahaha, I haven't been abroad before. I'll go to Big Brother's place to broaden my horizons. I'll go even if I don't have money!”Hou Yong said.
"I'll go too. This is your business, Brother Yue.”Hao Dong, who was slightly thin but looked very smart, also said.
The other two, Wang Shen and Zhao Xiaodong, were also willing to go after some consideration.
" This…I'm a little worried. My family probably won't agree to let me go. Besides, I have to revise for the college entrance examination this year. Otherwise, I'll have to repeat it…" Liang Zhuo, who was wearing thick glasses, hesitated.
"You're the one who's full of nonsense." Hou Yong could not help but curse.
Chu Yue stopped Hou Yong from continuing. He patted Liang Zhuo's shoulder and said,""I won't force you. If you have something to do, don't go. I understand that you're under a lot of pressure from your studies.”
Liang Zhuo felt a little awkward, and for some reason, he suddenly felt a strong sense of loss.
It was as if he had lost the most important opportunity in his life.
However, Liang Zhuo thought that it was an illusion. He tried his best to recover his emotions.
"I still have something to do at home, so I'll leave first.”
Liang Zhuo also felt awkward, so he found an excuse to leave.
Chu Yue chatted with the remaining four about the train's departure time.
