Chapter 808 Barter
After this very fierce and exciting business war, Major General Oprah's side has obviously become much more honest. After all, a partner like Ningyuan Group is irreplaceable. Of course, Suning also does not believe that Oprah really knows nothing about Ivan's behavior, but just wants to hide behind the scenes and control everything. Regardless of the final success or failure, he will be able to stay out of it, and he can also clean up the mess in a high-sounding manner like now.

Facts proved that Suning's guess was not wrong. In order to ease relations with Ningyuan Trade and further deepen cooperation between the two sides, Oprah tried her best to meet all the needs of Ningyuan Group, which formed a sharp conflict with her previous arrogance and arrogance. She soon helped Ningyuan Group contact a large number of agricultural machinery manufacturing technology experts.

Although there are many AI robots in his own space world that can serve as technicians, Ningyuan Group now has too many businesses around the world, and his AI robots will have more important things to take charge of. Moreover, such overt business operations will attract more attention. After all, the main purpose of Suning and Ningyuan Group is to attract the attention of the mainland, so that it will be convenient for the next large-scale investment in the mainland market.

Now the agricultural machinery technicians contacted by Major General Oprah have already set off for Hong Kong to perform their duties. The next step will be to set up the Ningyuan Agricultural Machinery Planning and Development Department together with a small number of AI robots. After that, they will go to Brazil and Thailand for on-site inspections and site selection. In addition, Suning has instructed the publicity department of Ningyuan Group to publicize the project on a large scale and to spend a lot of money to hype up Ningyuan's agricultural machinery manufacturing project. This will not only increase the stock price of Ningyuan Group, but also attract the most anticipated partner.

Brazil and Thailand naturally welcomed the new project of Ningyuan Group with open arms. The two countries tried their best to build this super large production base. Important leaders of the two countries rushed to Ningyuan's Hong Kong headquarters for inspection, and wanted to meet and negotiate with Ningyuan Group Chairman "Suning" in person. Naturally, this investment project of Ningyuan became the talk of the town, and all major mainstream newspapers and magazines across the country were dominated by the front page headlines of Ningyuan agricultural machinery manufacturing project.

"Zhen Ting, why is the Ningyuan Group making such big moves recently? Don't they always like to keep things secret when doing business?" An old man in a luxury house in Mid-Levels, Hong Kong asked the middle-aged man beside him.

"Father, our company's public opinion department is also a little confused. We guess that the technology this time may come from the Russians, and the Russians are eager to take the opportunity to promote themselves, which is why the Ningyuan agricultural machinery manufacturing project has become well-known." The middle-aged man at this time was also confused, and he could only try to contact later and guessed.

"Yeah, that makes sense! I heard that Ningyuan Group's initial investment this time will be 20 billion, and the total investment will reach 100 billion after the completion of the third phase of the plan. This is a super large project! No wonder the prime ministers of Brazil and Thailand are visiting Ningyuan headquarters." The old man couldn't help but say with emotion when he thought of the publicity of Ningyuan Group.

"Father, I feel like the Ningyuan Group is bragging. A scale of 100 billion? That would account for 30% of the global agricultural machinery market." The middle-aged man retorted with some disapproval, because such behavior was too common. In ancient times, an army of 100,000 could be boasted as an army of one million.

"Zhen Ting, based on my investigation and research on Ningyuan Group, I found that they really have this strength. Hong Kong's real estate industry alone can provide them with sufficient funds, not to mention the white goods and automobile industries. This is a true world-class giant enterprise!"

"Father, it would be great if Ningyuan's agricultural machinery manufacturing project could be settled in the mainland. The technology and funds it brings alone would be enough to benefit mainland companies, not to mention the series of chain reactions that would follow." At this moment, the middle-aged man couldn't help but think of the mainland market that had just been opened. He believed that such a super investment project would be welcomed.

"Yes! But the reality is very difficult. After all, the mainland market has just studied this policy, and it is difficult to accept this project without any concerns." The old man certainly agreed with such a suggestion that had only benefits and no harm, but he still shook his head helplessly and expressed his opinion.

"Father, everything depends on human efforts! The main thing is that this piece of cake is really too big. Even a small share of the mainland market will be very good." The middle-aged man at this time saw it very clearly. After all, it involves a complete industrial chain, and even a small link in it is extraordinary.

"That does make sense! For such a large super project, the supply chain alone will be an astronomical figure. Maybe we can really get a piece of the pie." After hearing his son's analysis, the old man couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised.

"Father, how about we contact Ningyuan Group and feel out their attitude first?" With the approval of his father, the business tycoon in front of him, the middle-aged man was so excited that he danced with joy.

"Zhen Ting, you're wrong! This matter still depends on the attitude of the mainland market. As long as the mainland market is willing to accept this project, it will definitely be a sure thing. So help me contact a special plane to Beijing as soon as possible."

"Okay! Father, I'll go down and ask someone to contact a special plane right away."

China is a country full of charm, and every Chinese son and daughter is striving for rejuvenation. Seeing such a superior super project, they are of course ecstatic. Many people thought of fighting for it at the first time, and then the following plot became more and more interesting.

At this time, Suning had been invited to Moscow, and the one who invited Suning was its new partner Andre. Since Suning met Andre through Li Hui's secret matchmaking, he gradually became familiar with Andre, who had a strong background. In addition, Suning and Major General Oprah later eased the tension between the two sides, and gradually formed a situation in which Andre and Oprah competed to "compete for beauty" to please Suning.

Andre probably heard that Major General Oprah had helped Ningyuan Group hire a large number of technical personnel, so he invited Suning to visit his own castle in Moscow and introduced his wife Olya to Suning. It can be said that he was 100% sincere in entertaining Suning, which naturally made Suning feel like he was at home.

"Mr. Zhou, welcome to Moscow." Olya shook hands with Suning in front of her gracefully, giving Suning the feeling of a wealthy lady.

"Hello, Ms. Olya! Nice to meet you." Looking at the Olya in front of him, he felt that she looked very ordinary, but she gave people an intellectual and gentle feeling, which was far from the wild ocean horses he was used to seeing.

"Mr. Zhou, please sit down first! I'll go see how the kitchen is preparing." Olya, the hostess, said politely, then turned around and went straight to the kitchen.

"Ms. Olya, I'm sorry to trouble you."

"You're welcome." Then Olya turned around and went directly to the kitchen of her own castle. As a wife, she knew her husband's preferences very well. She couldn't help but look back at the two men behind her, but she found that Suning and Andre were sitting very far apart, like the kind of distant sitting posture in a very formal official negotiation. Olya couldn't help but feel strange at this time, and she also realized that Suning was not Andre's "boyfriend" as she had imagined.

"Mr. Zhou, as far as I know, when Ningyuan Trading cooperated with Oprah, the settlement methods were both US dollars and Japanese yen, but this has invisibly increased the difficulty of trade between the two sides." Andre obviously did not have a good relationship with his wife, and the two had never had any normal communication between husband and wife.

"Mr. Andre, actually this is also a helpless move of our Ningyuan Group. The ruble is simply not in demand in the international market. In addition, you are unwilling to sell the goods that Ningyuan needs, so we can only use US dollars and Japanese yen as the settlement method." At this time, Suning certainly knew the purpose of Andre's words, and then he looked at Andre with the same regretful expression and explained.

"Mr. Zhou, I still hope that your Ningyuan Group can accept transactions in rubles, or directly adopt the barter method. After all, we intend to increase the trade volume between the two sides in the future." You must know that the trade between the two sides will become larger and larger in the future, and the old Russians, who are in a difficult situation, really cannot come up with so much foreign exchange.

"Mr. Andre, since you have already said this, there is no need for us Ningyuan to hide it. Our Ningyuan Group wants to acquire the Tupolev Aircraft Design Bureau. If you can help to facilitate this matter, we can discuss it." At this time, Suning immediately made a huge offer. After all, he wanted to let Andre see his appetite, and even if he bargained, he couldn't bargain too much.

"Ah? Impossible! How could your Ningyuan Group come up with such an idea?" At this moment, Andre was indeed frightened by Suning's big appetite. His loud shouting attracted the attention of Olya who was busy in the kitchen with the servants.

"Mr. Andre, our Ningyuan Group has now set its sights on the Tupolev Aircraft Design Bureau and aircraft manufacturing experts. Next, our Ningyuan Group plans to enter the large commercial aircraft industry." Suning had anticipated Andre's shock and astonishment, so he continued to explain with a calm smile.

"Mr. Zhou, even if my wife's grandfather came forward, there would be nothing he could do, because this is simply not something that can be done by one or two people." Seeing that Su Ning in front of him was not joking, Andre shook his head with a wry smile on his face.

"This is a bit troublesome! But we can only try to conduct barter trade with mineral resources such as oil and coal and grain." Suning was of course well aware of the Russians' desperate situation, so he took a step back and took the initiative to propose the goods he liked.

"Mr. Zhou, aren't you interested in those "big treasures"? You should know that what we Russians are most famous for are various military "big treasures." However, at this time Andre began to promote the traditional Russian products. You should know that this traditional product has always been their flagship product.

"Huh? This is not something we can get involved in. What's more, the price is very expensive and not cost-effective. Even if we get it and sell it without making a profit, it will be a big trouble." Suning had long anticipated this wave of sales promotion from the Russians, and then he shook his head with a look of disgust, but in fact he was already very happy in his heart.

"Hehe, this is actually very simple. Every year, the Russian military scraps a large number of "big treasures". You just need to sell them to your company at the price of scrap steel." As if Andre had anticipated Suning's worries and rejection, Andre said with a cunning smile at this time.

"Scrapped? Why would we want scrapped ones? We can't sell them anyway!" Suning certainly understood what Andre meant, but he still made an ignorant expression.

"Oh! Don't these things all depend on operations? The Russian military said they are scrapped, so they are definitely scrapped. Anyway, they are all new goods pulled out from the reserve warehouse." Seeing that Suning knew nothing about the arms business, Andre slapped his thigh and explained in frustration.

"Oh? Can it really be based on the price of scrap steel?" Then Suning no longer had to pretend, and looked at Andre in front of him with a questioning expression.

"Don't worry! All the procedures are complete." Seeing that Suning really couldn't help but be moved, Andre immediately patted his chest happily and assured him.

"Mr. Andre, in this case, you will have to pay for the goods with oil, food and scrap steel in exchange for various light industrial products from our Ningyuan Trade." Suning then agreed to the barter method, but still added oil and food to offset the payment. If all they wanted were arms, they would immediately go crazy.

"That's great! Mr. Zhou, recently the Russian government wants to purchase one thousand Ningyuan 3 Series cars. This is a very big deal!" Seeing that his persuasion was finally successful, Andre mentioned a big order. As usual, if Suning did not agree to use arms trade, it would really not place this order with Ningyuan Trade.

"Oh? These are all small matters. Just place the order normally. Also, can you help me contact a group of technical personnel from the Volga Automobile Factory? Our Ningyuan Group's automobile factory is planning to expand production recently." At this stage, Suning is most envious of the various technical talents of the Russians. Being able to compete with the giant countries in the entire Western world, the technical content they possess is really awesome.

"How much do you need?" Andre asked casually without any concern. He didn't think there was anything wrong with trading technical talents.

"The more the better! There's no upper limit." You know, Suning has a huge appetite and will not stop until it takes the opportunity to empty the Russians' pockets.

"Alright! I'll help you figure this out. I guarantee it'll be better than the talent that Oprah introduced."
