My Realistic Simulation Game

Chapter 137 The Seven Oligarchs
Drop drop drop drop.

The system screen kept displaying a signal.

Or rather, ever since that server-wide announcement, these noises have never stopped.

However, Qin Yuan had already blocked it.

He doesn't have that much time to satisfy other people's curiosity.

However, there was one exception: the Crown Prince.

Qin Yuan marked it as a matter of special interest.

News about the Crown Prince is not going to remain silent.

Therefore, as soon as the news broke, Qin Yuan knew that it was a message from the Crown Prince.

He waved his hand, letting Ivan and Magan go about their own business.

He then went to Ochakov's conference room.

He opened the information panel.

It was indeed news from the Crown Prince.

[Prince of Yanjing]: The first batch of two hundred truckloads of supplies has departed from Yanjing. I'm just letting you know.

[Prince of Yanjing]: According to the catalog you gave me, canned goods make up 80%, and the remaining 20% ​​are various daily necessities. I mobilized the reserves of thirteen factories to gather this batch of supplies, which should arrive in the Soviet Union in about six days. Please remember to sign for it upon receipt.

Upon seeing these two messages, Qin Yuan's eyes immediately lit up.

The Crown Prince is indeed worthy of his title; his efficiency in handling affairs is astonishing.

He quickly opened the detailed goods list in the attachment:

Canned goods (80%): Braised beef, luncheon meat, fruit (peach, orange), fish...

Daily necessities (20%): thermos flasks, enamel mugs, towels, soap, toothpaste and toothbrushes, toilet paper, work gloves, school bags, toys, candy, tea...

It differs somewhat from the catalog he previously provided, with a few items missing, but the main items are still plentiful.

It also includes the prices of various products.

However, due to the enormous amount involved, he was unable to immediately estimate a specific price.

But it is undoubtedly much lower than the price offered on the market.

"The Crown Prince is an honest man!"

Qin Yuan sighed.

Although the Crown Prince certainly made a profit from it, this price undoubtedly left Qin Yuan with a huge room for maneuver and profit!

In the cutthroat world of business and fierce competition, it is truly rare to find a partner who understands the rules and keeps their word.

With a thought, he quickly wrote a string of words on the screen.

[I am Jingye]: The message has been received. The goods are well prepared. The proportion of the next batch of 300 truckloads of supplies should be consistent with this goods catalog.

[I am Jingye]: Notify Xiamen Airlines and Sichuan Airlines that Tu-154 passenger planes will arrive at Chengdu Airport and Xiamen Airport respectively in ten days.

The moment the message was sent, the Crown Prince saw it.

The plane will be here in ten days!

The crown prince was very excited.

[Prince of Yanjing]: Master Jing, don't worry, I've already been urging the factories in China to start production of the supplies.

[Yanjing Prince]: They are very enthusiastic. This time, the demand emptied all the inventory in their factories. Now all thirteen factories are working overtime to catch up. Let me put it this way, as long as it can be produced domestically, we can produce as much as the Soviet Union needs.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yuan's heart stirred.

These factories are so enthusiastic, we can't let them go to waste!
Doing business, especially international trade, inevitably involves coming and going.

The "canned goods for airplanes" deal is a one-time, highly profitable transaction, and it's difficult to replicate this business model later.

Because both the domestic demand for aircraft and the material needs of aircraft manufacturers have an upper limit.

But what if we take a different approach?
Are these massive domestic production capacities that have been activated only meant to serve one-off transactions?

He immediately typed a line of text on the screen.

[I am Jingye]: Prince, could you ask these factories for me what their needs are for Soviet products? What do they want to switch to?

The Crown Prince, far away in Yanjing, had his eyes light up the moment he saw the news.

What is the demand from domestic factories?
Isn't that just asking him what his needs are?

He immediately called his secretary over.

"Secretary Wang, you're quick-witted. Think of something! What kind of business is good to do in China right now?"

The Crown Prince's sudden question left Secretary Wang somewhat bewildered.

"President Lin, could you elaborate? The scope you're referring to is too broad." The prince paused, then asked again, "It's like this, besides airplanes, what else does the Soviet Union have that we currently desperately need and that has huge profit margins?"

"Especially the factory managers who cooperate with us, what do they want?"

"Things from the Soviet Union?" Secretary Wang hesitated for a moment. He was a top student who graduated from Beijing Institute of Technology and was assigned to BAIC after graduation. Later, without his knowledge, he was transferred to a trading company.

After several twists and turns, she ended up working as a secretary for this "young master".

He was initially reluctant, feeling that as a college graduate, he should at least shine in his professional field, if not rise to great heights at BAIC!

But after spending more time with this Mr. Lin, he found that it was actually quite good; at least he was living a comfortable life.

The recent allocation of supplies has also given him some insight into its value.

Now, hearing what President Lin said, his mind was racing.

Eliminate one option after another.

'It needs to have a domestic market, high profit margins, and be a product unique to the Soviet Union.'

'Products unique to the Soviet Union, military industry? No way, that's too risky; they can't handle it.'

'Civilian'

Secretary Wang had a flash of inspiration and immediately said, "President Lin, it's cars. Right now, the most in-demand product in China, and the one with the highest profit margin, is cars."

"A carriage?" The prince was taken aback.

"Yes, the car!" Secretary Wang said with certainty.

"A Volkswagen Santana from Germany sells for over 200,000 yuan, and it's still hard to find one! Why? It's about prestige and demand. Which private business owner or company leader doesn't want their own car?"

He became more and more excited as he spoke: "Although Soviet cars were not as refined as German cars, they were sturdy and durable!"

"A Volga sedan cost only twenty or thirty thousand US dollars in the Soviet Union, which is equivalent to a little over one hundred thousand yuan!"

"Ladas are cheaper. If we bring them back to China, we can make several times the profit by reselling them."

He paused, then his thoughts broadened: "And there are trucks, large trucks, and passenger vehicles."

"Isn't Mr. Wang, the guy who helps us transport goods, always wanting to expand his fleet and contract long-distance passenger and freight routes?"

"He had money, but he couldn't buy enough good vehicles. Soviet Kamaz heavy trucks, Ural off-road trucks, and Lada Niva off-road vehicles were all things that domestic transportation companies and engineering teams dreamed of!"

"If you could get a batch of large trucks and passenger buses from the Soviet Union and then resell them to that Mr. Wang, wouldn't we make a fortune?"

The crown prince's eyes lit up after hearing this.

This Mr. Wang is a top 50 player, owning a large fleet of vehicles that monopolizes transportation in North China.

It is truly the "King of Transportation in North China".

This time, he coordinated supplies from various factories and sent them to the train station to be transported to the Soviet Union.

It was thanks to this person's transportation capabilities that they were able to gather three hundred wagons of supplies in such a short time.

Now it seems like this is a chance to make a lot of money.

He quickly looked at the screen.

[Prince of Yanjing]: Lord Jing, I need a vehicle, a sedan, a truck, or even a passenger vehicle. Can you get these?

Qin Yuan, who was in Moscow, saw this message sent by the Crown Prince.

To be honest, there was nothing unexpected about it.

Zhao Shanhe was thinking of acquiring a batch of construction machinery vehicles to expand his infrastructure capabilities and improve his bidding skills.

The prince has considerable resources at his disposal, and with so many factories, his demand for cars is certainly not small.

As for why Soviet cars were rarely seen in China in my previous life, the reason was most likely because there were fewer international supercars like him.

How were Soviet cars managed on such a large scale by those scalpers who operated the K3 route?

That's just overthinking it.

But he is different.

His skill level far surpasses that of ordinary resellers.

Thinking of this, Qin Yuan picked up a fountain pen from his office.

He wrote a name in the notebook in front of him.

Berezovsky

One of the seven Russian oligarchs who became rich overnight.

His first pot of gold came from reselling cars.
