My Realistic Simulation Game

Chapter 237 Money Surges In
"Brother Yuan, good news."

Wu Weiguo walked quickly into the office with steady and powerful steps.

"I just received news from Liu Jun that Pan Shiyi has acquired the Baltic Brewery in St. Petersburg."

Liu Jun is now under his command.

The reason I accompanied Pan Shiyi to St. Petersburg was partly to protect Pan Shiyi's safety.

On the other hand, it also maintains two-way communication and facilitates information exchange.

After Pan Shiyi successfully signed an acquisition contract with brewery director Mikhail, Liu Jun immediately relayed the good news back.

"I already know about this." Upon hearing this, Qin Yuan didn't show much surprise on his face, and simply responded with a light reply.

"You know?" Wu Weiguo asked in surprise, then quickly realized, "Brother Yuan, is it achievement points?"

Qin Yuan nodded. "In addition to achievement points, they also gave a buff."

He briefly explained the buff attribute called "Oligarch's Favor".

Wu Weiguo's eyes widened; this was something that had never appeared in the game before.

"Brother Yuan, do you think this is a different kind of protagonist's halo?"

Qin Yuan was slightly taken aback. The protagonist's halo?

That's quite a apt description.

Being able to influence the "rules" to a certain extent and increase the probability of specific events has indeed gone beyond the scope of ordinary skills or items, carrying a hint of fate.

But now is not the time to consider that.

"Weiguo, go to the Ochakov beverage factory immediately,"

Qin Yuan composed himself and issued the order, "Have Ivan immediately dispatch a highly capable management team and technical backbone, along with the core strains and production technology of 'Tsar Kvass,' to the Baltic Brewery as quickly as possible to fully implement the Tsar Kvass production line!"

Since its launch, "Tsar Kvass" has been highly anticipated due to its unique taste and high-end glass bottle packaging.

However, production volume has always been its bottleneck.

Now, the Baltic Brewery has a more advanced and larger production line.

It is entirely possible to achieve large-scale mass production, starting from St. Petersburg as a bridgehead and radiating to Eastern Europe and even a wider market.

Kvass, a unique beverage that lies somewhere between alcohol and soft drink, has deep roots in Slavic culture and is definitely a powerful tool for opening up markets.

"Understood! I'll go right away!" Wu Weiguo turned to leave.

"Wait," Qin Yuan called out to him again, "Call Andre in, I need to talk to him."

"Andrei?" Wu Weiguo's mind raced, and he immediately realized the key point.

What is the most distinctive label on Andrei?
Soldiers, veterans.

What lies behind the soldiers?
army.

The facts were indeed correct as Wu Weiguo had guessed.

Qin Yuan needed to contact the special forces colonel at the Senets base again.

The Senets base is one of the closest military bases to Moscow.

This special forces unit played a crucial role in the turmoil that occurred in August.

Making peace in advance at this time is tantamount to purchasing a safety insurance policy for important assets such as the Far East Group and the Ochakov factory during a period of chaos.

Xenophobic sentiments are most likely to arise during periods of turmoil, and he must prepare for such a scenario.

His bargaining chip, of course, is money.

And, beer specially supplied to the Senets base.

In an era when prohibition was not yet fully lifted, how much would a military unit's morale and cohesion be boosted if it had a stable and high-quality supply of beer?
How many people can win over with this?

The newly acquired Baltic brewery provided just such an excellent opportunity.

An opportunity to gain the friendship of an army unit.

Moreover, the military's stable needs can provide the Baltic brewery with a stable sales channel.

With the future collapse of the Soviet Union, Prohibition will be abolished.

That will usher in the true golden age for Baltic breweries.

In Qin Yuan's memory, this brewery had quite a reputation.

Not only is it one of the top 30 Russian companies in 21, but it is also a major Russian beer manufacturer and exporter.

Not only have several of its beers won gold medals, but this beer also has a certain market share in Northeast China.

He remembered drinking this beer when he traveled to Northeast China.

To be honest, it's quite flavorful.

Therefore, controlling it is equivalent to holding onto a significant cash flow for a considerable period of time in the future.

As Qin Yuan's orders were relayed down through the ranks, management and technical teams were dispatched to St. Petersburg.

Meanwhile, secret cooperation with the military was also quietly progressing.

It was at this time that the news that "Far East Group successfully acquired the Baltic Brewery" was widely reported in the media newspapers controlled by Chen Jianhua.

Under a massive financial offensive.

Far East Group's first shot in its expansion outwards was undoubtedly fired, and it was a resounding success.

In St. Petersburg, all of the several thousand workers who were already there have returned to their posts.

They are also continuously recruiting workers. The equipment and machinery operate 24 hours a day.

Cases of beer and cases of Tsar Kvass flowed continuously from the automated bottling line.

Subsequently, through the channels established by the Far East Group throughout the Soviet Union, the products were quickly distributed to various parts of the country via local distributors.

Soviets loved to drink alcohol; in winter, strong vodka could burn their lungs and bring them warmth.

In the Soviet Union during June and July, although it wasn't as hot as other places.

However, the temperature continues to rise.

Malt beer has undoubtedly become the best drink.

With the protection of various licenses and permits established by Catherine.

Baltic beer has been a bestseller all the time.

Almost immediately after being put on the shelves, they were snapped up.

Against the backdrop of this prohibition, it is remarkable that some companies were able to produce so much beer and distribute it through such a vast network of channels, reaching every household.

In the Soviet Union at that time, this was unimaginable.

As a result, sales at the Baltic Brewery experienced a surge.

Meanwhile, the middlemen and the Soviet-based distributors were ecstatic.

This is definitely a blockbuster product that can bring huge profits!
In Kharobavsk in the Far East, a group of traders from various regional republics gathered together.

The three most powerful among them are Wang Laizi, Pan Ge, and Li Hu (Brother Northeast Tiger), a top player.

Because Wang Laizi and Pang Ge participated in the operation to expel the Caucasian gang, Qin Yuan gave them a chance.

When expanding the number of distributors, the two of them were assigned to the Far East region.

Li Hu is also known as the Northeast Tiger.

He led a group of players and rose to prominence rapidly.

With its strong foothold in Northeast China, it has established a firm foothold in the Far East and become one of the most important distributors under Far East Trading.

They gathered together for two main purposes.

First, we need to secure a larger share of the beer market next month; second, we need to report last month's sales data.

This is a common practice in Far East trade, used to precisely control the distribution of goods in various regions and maximize profits.

"Old Pan, how much did you earn last month?"

"Wow, Wang Laizi, this is more profitable than lending money at exorbitant interest rates in Yanjing, isn't it?"

"Brother Li Hu, I heard you've even started selling beer in Harbin? How's it going? Is it selling well?"

These distributors gathered together, each trying to find out what the other was up to.

But as the conversation went on, it was inevitable that Qin Yuan and the Baltic Brewery would come up.

"To be honest, Master Jing is really awesome."

"The Baltic Brewery is such a large enterprise, and they acquired it so quietly. How much influence must they have to do that!"

Pan Ge, smoking a cigarette, expressed his sincere admiration.

Nowadays, any middleman from Yanjing likes to call Qin Yuan "Master Jing".

I don't know where it came from.

And then it just spread naturally.

Players like Li Hu were well aware of this nickname.

He chuckled to himself and said, "I don't need to say more about connections. I took a few of my brothers to Moscow the other day."

"I saw it with my own eyes. In just one month, an 'ant market' was approved. It was a project directly approved by the mayor of Moscow. Just from this market, Jingye made a fortune."

Wang Laizi chimed in, "Master Jing's vision is on a completely different level from ours."

"They're dealing with banks and capital!"

"Those of us who did well this year only made a few million. But do you know what? Just last month, I made over ten thousand in net profit from beer alone!"

He used to be a lender, so he knew all too well the exorbitant profits in finance and monopolistic businesses, and his eyes were full of envy.

While he drooled with envy, he was also looking at even bigger projects.

"Everyone, have you heard? Far East Trade is launching a new project next month. Whether you participate or not, I'm definitely going to."

They chatted and laughed as they handed over their past accounting records.

Meanwhile, similar scenes were playing out across the Soviet Union.

And they converged in Moscow.

When they gathered on Natasha's desk.

As she continued pressing the calculator buttons, the Baltic Brewery's first-month financial report was released.

The brewery benefited from the stable demand for Tsar Kvass, as well as the high profits and broad market demand for beer.

It achieved huge profits.

When the financial report was handed to Qin Yuan, he looked at the long string of zeros representing net profit.

Even with his composure, his pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly.
