My Realistic Simulation Game

Chapter 140 Changes in Life's Circumstances

As the time drew ever closer, the harsh winter of January was particularly cruel in Moscow.

The storm swept up the heavy snow, which pounded against the solemn and heavy dome layer by layer.

The invitation has been sent, but the "King of Thieves" has yet to respond.

Qin Yuan didn't just wait around; he got busy with his own things.

Because the students had all started their winter break, Qin Yuan didn't keep any of the Jeanswest inventory. He distributed it all to the local students so they could buy it in bulk and take it back to their hometowns to solidify their market position.

This time, they really became their own bosses.

Chinese students studying abroad are also preparing to go home for the Chinese New Year.

Apart from Wang Haiyang, Zhang Wei, and Li Xiangqian, all the international students are taking the same train back to China today.

Qin Yuan didn't go to see it off; it was Binzi and Wang Haiyang who went.

As for Wang Haiyang and the other two, they are still waiting for Chen Jianhua to return.

Chen Jianhua went to Harbin and called back a while ago, saying he encountered some trouble, but it would be resolved soon.

What was revealed to Qin Yuan was that Qiu Lin was being targeted.

He is Lu Guoxin, the chairman of Acheng Sugar Factory.

Others might not know who Lu Guoxin was, but Qin Yuan did.

This Northeastern hawk took over the Acheng Sugar Factory, and its ranking rose rapidly.

Now the idea is to integrate the food industry in Harbin, combining the sugar and food industries into one group, and then listing it on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, and then take it a step further.

Qin Yuan was well aware of this little scheme.

Therefore, Qin Yuan's only instruction to Chen Jianhua was to acquire only Qiulin Candy Factory, and to relinquish control of Qiulin Company, which held the department store and sales channels.

The brief struggle for control of Qiulin Food Factory created a false impression, and it could be discarded at will.

He had made plans long ago.

He had registered trademarks for both Qiulin Kvass and Qiulin Lidaosi Sausage, and he also had Zhong Zhaomin as an inside man.

Even if Lu Guoxin acquires Qiulin, it will all be for naught.

He is now waiting for the 300 truckloads of supplies that were shipped from Yanjing to Moscow a few days ago to arrive at the station.

Waiting for the approval of the huge loan from the Moscow State Bank.

Looking out the window at the vast expanse.

Scattered around are one or two pedestrians, holding strong vodka, completely drunk.

Several people were also holding Tsar Gevas, supporting each other.

I wonder how many people this snow will bury.

Qin Yuan sat in the car, with the beautiful blonde Elena Shayk beside him.

"What's wrong, Qin? What are you thinking about?"

Elena was driving, her hands on the steering wheel, when she casually asked a question.

"I'm wondering how many people will die in Moscow today?"

Qin Yuan turned around, looked into the other person's azure eyes, and answered truthfully.

Upon hearing this answer, Elena was visibly taken aback, then smiled slightly: "Qin, you really know how to joke."

Qin Yuan didn't explain, but instead asked, "Elena, you said the Moscow State Bank has approved the loan. How much do you estimate it will be?"

When discussing her area of ​​expertise, Elena's smile faded, and she said seriously, "According to Ochakov's asset statement data, coupled with the surge in Tsar Kvass's production capacity during this period, under normal circumstances, we can borrow at least 500 million rubles in cash."

“But now,” she hesitated, “it might only be around two or three hundred million rubles, and that was only achieved with the help of Natasha’s father.”

"Two or three hundred million rubles?" Qin Yuan muttered to himself. Besides paying the final installment to the Industrial Bureau, Qin Yuan also planned to invest this money in purchasing construction machinery vehicles and various large trucks and cars.

These cars, when sold in China, will fetch far more than just double the price.

This also reflects the spread of influence. The first payment in China for "buying airplanes from canned goods" has already been received.

Qin Yuan decisively had Uncle Zhang transfer everything to the Crown Prince's company.

After all, the Crown Prince had advanced the payment for all 500 truckloads of supplies, and now it was time to settle the accounts.

But most of the remaining 300 million from Xiamen Airlines is now profit.

As the two talked, they unknowingly arrived at the Moscow State Bank.

Braving the wind and snow, Ivanovic stood at the door to greet them.

As soon as Qin Yuan got out of the car, the seasoned banker immediately stepped forward.

"Haha, Brother Qin, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

He held Qin Yuan's hand, behaving especially affectionately.

This enthusiasm far surpasses that of the past.

“Mr. Ivanovich, I consider Natasha my younger sister, but you are my elder.”

Qin Yuan was somewhat puzzled; this Ivanovich had never given him such a friendly look before.

“Brother Qin, let’s each talk about our own things. Natasha is Natasha, and I am me.”

Ivanovich said with a smile, looking at Elena, "Shayk, our bank president highly approves of the asset quantification assessment report you provided. He said that you and Brother Qin saved a large factory on the verge of bankruptcy, involving thousands of people."

Elena could naturally see the real reason for Ivanovic's change in attitude.

She smiled and said, "Uncle Ivanovich, let's go inside first, it's snowing heavily outside!"

“Yes, yes, let’s go in first.” Ivanovich patted the snowflakes off his clothes and said as he walked, “Brother Qin, this time you used Ochakov as collateral, not only the Industry Bureau inquired about it, but the Ministry of Trade also found out.”

"They saw the asset quantification assessment report made by Shayk and were very satisfied with the adjustments and reforms you have made to Ochakov during this period. Not only has it greatly improved production efficiency, but the Tsar Kvass and Far Eastern Kvass produced have also greatly satisfied the people's ever-increasing material needs."

"In a few days, the newspaper will also do a special report on your company."

As the person in charge of the two loans, Ivanovich not only received a generous bonus, but was also promoted one rank.

He was more excited about his promotion than the meager bonus.

He's almost fifty years old this year. If he doesn't get promoted soon, he'll likely stop here and retire.

But now, things are completely different.

He is very likely to be transferred to a large city as a branch manager, and if he does well, he may even return to take over as the president of the Moscow State Bank.

Therefore, how could he not treat Qin Yuan, this important person, with such courtesy!
Upon reflection, his life had been constantly changing ever since his daughter Natasha introduced Qin Yuan to him.

Increased income and promotion.

All of this is because of Qin Yuan.

Moreover, if he were to be transferred to another city as a branch manager...

Building a good relationship with Qin Yuan will greatly benefit both deposit-taking and lending in the future.

So what's the big deal about calling each other brothers?

He now wished he could become sworn brothers with Qin Yuan on the spot.

If it weren't for the fact that Qin Yuan now has an even prettier Elena by his side, he would have wanted to break up his daughter and that Wang Haiyang, and let Natasha be friends with Qin Yuan instead.

But if I can't be your father-in-law, then I can only be your brother.

Ivanovich held Qin Yuan's hand tightly and said, "Brother Qin, your loan has been approved. The bank originally planned to approve 300 million rubles for you, but after my strong argument, the loan was increased to 500 million rubles. The repayment period is two years, and the interest rate is the lowest it can be."

"Five hundred million?" Qin Yuan didn't react much when he heard the number, but Elena's eyes widened.

This was completely unexpected for her.

But Qin Yuan remained very calm: "Mr. Ivanovich, will this money be transferred to our company's account immediately, or in installments?"

"It'll be transferred right away," Ivanovic said immediately. "We're just waiting for your signature."
