When I went home for Chinese New Year, I spent a million times more money on my foreign wife.

Snow Palace International Global Center, top floor command center.

The red band on the large screen represents the industrial output of the entire northern province.

At this moment, most of those lines are in a slump, and some factories have even turned off their red lights.

"Brother, the statistics are in."

Chen Yue pushed open the door and walked in, holding an encrypted document in her hand. She stopped lightly beside Chen Yang.

She has long since shed her naiveté; having finished her university studies, she is now working and will graduate once her internship ends.

Wearing a sharp, dark gray haute couture business dress, she exuded the decisiveness of a top venture capitalist in every gesture.

"There are 3,200 manufacturing companies around Harbin, including several surrounding prefecture-level cities. Due to export difficulties and rising raw material prices, 70% of the production lines are operating at half capacity."

Chen Yang took the document and glanced at the densely packed list.

"What about the inventory in these factories?"

Chen Yue replied, "The warehouse is overflowing. Canned goods, winter clothing, basic medicines, dehydrated vegetables, and large quantities of daily toiletries. Because of the poor foreign trade market and domestic overcapacity, these things can't be sold, and the bosses are practically jumping off buildings."

Chen Yang closed the document and walked towards the panoramic floor-to-ceiling window.

"Since they can't sell them, I'll buy them all."

Chen Yue turned to the second page of the table.

"Take it all? Bro, that's no small amount. A rough estimate is that clearing this inventory will require at least 20 billion US dollars in working capital. If we also want to maintain subsequent production, half of our cash flow will be drained."

"Money is just a number when you keep it; it only has meaning when you convert it into tangible goods."

Chen Yang turned his head.

"Lei Zi."

Lei Zi pushed open the door and entered, his white gloves spotless.

"Boss, the Black Kite Group's land escort team is fully assembled, and three thousand heavy trucks are ready to depart at any time."

"it is good."

Chen Yang looked at Chen Yue.

"Issuing a notice in the name of the Snow Palace Group. From this moment on, the Snow Palace Group is launching an unlimited procurement campaign across the entire province. Regardless of size, as long as the quality is up to standard, we will take as much as there is in stock. Once the contract is signed, payment will be received within half an hour."

Chen Yue quickly pressed the confirmation button on the terminal.

"How is the price determined?"

"We're giving them a 20% markup on the highest market price. This is to get them to push production to its limit within three days. What Russia is lacking right now isn't gold, but essential supplies."

The instruction has been issued.

The long-dormant Northern Industrial Network was instantly activated.

One minute later.

At a cannery on the outskirts of Harbin, the owner rubbed his eyes as he looked at the Snow Palace Group's announcement that popped up on his phone.

"Full payment? And full prepayment?"

Ten minutes later.

Fifty million Chinese dollars instantly flowed into his corporate account. The boss rushed out of his office and shouted wildly down the corridor.

"Get to work! Everyone back at your posts! Triple pay, full production!"

Similar scenes are playing out in every industrial park in Harbin.

In just a few days.

Like a flood bursting its banks, funds poured precisely into every company on the verge of collapse through the Snow Palace Group's financial pipelines. Production lines that had been shut down began to smoke again, and warehouses were emptied of excess inventory.

The influx of hundreds of billions of yuan triggered an economic earthquake in northern China.

The previously sluggish market sentiment was given a shot in the arm and took off.

"Brother, something terrible has happened."

When Chen Yue entered the office again, her tone was somewhat amused.

"Because we had so many trucks, several highways leading from Harbin to the western border were completely paralyzed. They were all heavy trucks fully loaded with supplies, and the line stretched for thirty kilometers."

Chen Yang walked to the large screen and brought up the real-time monitoring.

In the footage, a long, dark convoy winds its way through the snow, resembling a giant steel dragon. Each truck bears the Snow Palace Group's blue-and-gold logo on its side.

"What did customs say?"

"Director Li has already made the arrangements. All checkpoints will have 24-hour green channels open. Vehicles from Snow Palace can pass through without inspection. But the current problem is that road transport is too slow, and the loading capacity is still insufficient."

Chen Yang pointed to the railway line on the map.

"Contact the railway authorities. I'll pay ten times the freight rate and charter all northbound trains for the next month. All passenger trains will have to give way to my freight trains. Anyone who has a problem with this, let them come and talk to me about compensation."

"clear."

Chen Yue nodded and turned to make contacts.

A few hours later.

At the Harbin freight station, the sound of train whistles pierced the sky.

The first train, fully loaded with 3,000 tons of supplies, began to slowly start moving.

Chen Yang stood on the platform, with Lei Zi holding a black umbrella behind him.

"Lei Zi, tell Mo Cheng to change the packaging of the supplies."

Lei Zi bowed slightly.

"Boss, please give your instructions."

"All the outer packaging will be printed with Katyusha's portrait. That's the totem of the Snow Palace. Let's name this batch of supplies 'Katyusha Care Packages.' I want everyone in Mo City to remember clearly who is supporting them when they receive these supplies."

"Yes, this kind of cultural export is more effective than simple trade. Miss Katyusha's approval rating in the Russian Empire is expected to break through its peak."

The train roared and accelerated.

Chen Yang looked at the huge shipping containers with Katyusha's image printed on them, picked up his phone, and dialed the number in Mo City.

"Wife."

The video call connected, and Katyusha, wearing a deep purple haute couture trench coat, stood on a cold street in Mo City. Behind her were ordinary people queuing up in a long line to buy expensive flour.

"Yang, the supermarket in Mo City has been emptied out, and old Ivan is furious."

Katyusha stopped in her tracks when she saw the train on the screen.

Chen Yang switched cameras.

A long line of trains sped past him, stretching as far as the eye could see.

"The first batch of 10,000 tons of 'Katyusha Love Packages' has passed through customs. They contain beef, bread, cotton-padded clothes, and all the snacks you could want. In 24 hours, this train will go directly to Mocheng Railway Station."

Katyusha looked at the shipping containers on the screen, each bearing her image.

"Is that for me?"

"That was your gift to Mo Cheng."

Chen Yang's tone was cold and stern, carrying an air of unyielding authority.

"Distribute these. Set up all the churches and squares in Mo City as distribution points for Snow Palace. The Black Kite Group's mercenaries will protect you. Anyone who dares to steal them will be physically eliminated by Lei Zi's men."

Katyusha stood in the wind and snow, watching the man in the video.

"Honey, how much will this cost?"

"In my eyes, money is just a stone to pave the way for you. Since those old-school tycoons want to play the blockade game, I'll use money to smash that wall down."

hang up the phone.

Chen Yang withdrew his gaze.

"Lei Zi."

"exist."

"Notify the next batch. I want to put up the Snow Palace logo at every gas station and every pharmacy in Mo City. I've taken over Mo City's energy; I've also taken care of Mo City's food supply."

The train cut through the snow-covered plain.

Those shipping containers bearing Katyusha's beautiful image, carrying vast amounts of Eastern wealth, surged westward like gods descending from the heavens.

Chen Yang turned and walked towards the convoy, his steps extremely fast.
