Selling small motorcycles in mid-air to kick off the Southern Heavenly Gate Project?

Once you miss this opportunity, it's gone forever.

Kazakov was right; after "doing a few jobs," they could retire on the spot.

According to Nikolai's own prediction, once he embarks on this "broad road," no one will notice for at least five to ten years.

Even if he were discovered, Nikolai believed that the forces behind him would take pity on him because of the large amount of "earnest money" he had handed over.

We will also try our best to buy him time.

If they fake their death and leave this world, they can live a wealthy life in other countries.

Instead of living in fear and trembling in the Soviet Union.

One wrong move and you could be purged.

Nikolai didn't want to live like that.

Of course, before making a decision, you should still look for the forces behind you.

At least let them accept that they "do this kind of thing".

It doesn't matter if you don't promise, as long as you assume you'll do it.

After Nikolai opened his mind, he felt completely enlightened, as if the bright green US dollars were beckoning to him.

When Nikolai's backers found out, they actually showed a hint of eagerness.

In the early stages, they only traded four types of aircraft engines and were able to generate sales of over 500 million US dollars.

If they can't disclose these sales figures, then they can just divide up the five hundred million dollars directly, and then...

Just thinking about it makes me happy.

And this is just an initial trial cooperation. If the cooperation goes smoothly, the order amount will become larger and larger.

Even without payment in US dollars, Yan State possesses a large quantity of light industrial goods.

This is also a very popular product in the Soviet Union.

It used to be cheaper, but now the price changes every day.

Today's price is even higher than yesterday's.

Therefore, there's no worry about selling the goods once they're brought in.

Instead, they're worried about how much to price it today.

It doesn't matter, they'll help "build connections," as long as it allows them to make a lot of money.

Everything is very easy to discuss.

And you don't have to bear much responsibility.

Even if things are eventually exposed, everything can be blamed on Nikolai and Kazakov.

They were made their "scapegoats".

In any case, they won't be implicated in the end.

This is a good thing with no downsides, so why don't they do it!

You can make money while lying down.

All we need to do now is acquiesce.

And under certain circumstances, it provided some assistance to Nikolai and Kazakov.

……

After receiving tacit approval, Nikolai met with Kazakov in his office.

At this moment, Kazakov felt a sense of gain and loss.

What should I do if my uncle Nikolai doesn't agree?

Can I go it alone?

Will trade between the two parties be disrupted if we are unable to help Dong'an International Trading Company introduce four types of aircraft engine technology?

These are all issues that Kazakov needs to consider.

From frugality to luxury is easy, from luxury to frugality.

It's not that easy to earn money that you couldn't earn before.

Who would want to go back to the "miserable" days of the past?

Seeing the expression on his nephew's face, Nikolai guessed what he was thinking.

A slight smile played at the corners of his lips.

"Uncle, is it really possible for us to do this?"

"The profits we've made are enough to allow us to live a wealthy life for the rest of our lives."

Kazakov doesn't want to go back to his old life.

Nikolai frowned and scolded in a low voice, "You don't even have this much self-control?"

"I think you don't need to do it anymore!"

Sometimes a certain degree of composure is required.

Even when facing yourself, you must be shrewd and not let others figure out your thoughts.

Otherwise, you will face all sorts of targeting.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Kazakov's mind.

Instantly grasp what Nikolai was saying.

"Uncle, did our superiors tell us to do this?"

Kazakov probed in a low voice:

Nikolai nodded, a slight smile on his face: "Looks like you haven't been blinded by profit yet; you still have your head."

"The higher-ups have tacitly approved it!"

In Nikolai's view, tacit consent is the same as agreement.

As long as the benefits are handed over at the appropriate time.

That way, their businesses can receive some protection.

Upon hearing this, Kazakov felt an instant surge of joy.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Once the cooperation is achieved, a flood of profits will follow.

"Five hundred million US dollars is too low. You need to negotiate a higher price. We can't afford to take such a big risk for such a small profit."

Having agreed to do this, Nikolai began to discuss it with Kazakov.

The prices of the four aircraft engines will be increased based on those of Dong'an International Trading Company.

If not double, it should increase by at least 30% to 50%.

After all, this counts as smuggling!

No, this is already smuggling.

This could cost you your head.

The procurement amount needs to be increased.

Otherwise, who would dare to do it!

"Uncle, this five hundred million US dollars is already an overpayment, then..."

"Are you out of your mind? How can smuggling compare to legitimate channels? We're taking such a huge risk to help Yan Country get four types of aircraft engines, and we're the ones who bear all the risks."

"So what if we add a premium?"

"You should talk higher. Five hundred million US dollars is just the minimum. We need to raise the price further on that basis."

"As long as it's not too outrageous, the Yan Kingdom will definitely agree."

Nikolai ate more salt than Kazakov ate rice.

You agreed without even discussing it?

What's the difference between that and a novice?

Kazakov still has a long way to go.

Upon hearing this, Kazakov nodded, instantly understanding his uncle Nikolai's thoughts.

Five hundred million US dollars is just the most basic price.

Kazakov could also go further on the existing basis.

How much can be negotiated depends on Kazakov's abilities.

"You liaise with Yan Guo's Dong'an International Trading Company. As for those aircraft engines, I'll give you a list of a few people later. You can take them out for food, drinks, gambling, and entertainment to strengthen the relationship between the two sides."

"Our actions have been tacitly approved from above. As for how to proceed, that depends on your negotiations with those people."

Nikolai took out a list from his safe, which included executives from several major military industrial companies.

In short, get in touch to strengthen your relationship so that others can help you with things later.

It's easier to get things done if you know someone!

This was also Kazakov's job.

It's easier to see the King of Hell than to deal with his underlings.

This requires Kazakov to "open up" the connections.

Kazakov took the list from Nikolai but didn't open it immediately; he would look at it later.

"How much of the resources you can get here depends on your own abilities."

Nikolai gave a meaningful warning.

"Uncle, please don't worry. I'm quite skilled at eating, drinking, and having fun, especially since we have money. I can arrange everything perfectly."

Kazakov was deeply moved by his uncle Nikolai's strong support.

This would have been unthinkable in the past.

Nikolai: If it weren't for the substantial profits, I wouldn't have invested so many resources in you.

Everything is driven by profit.

If there's no benefit involved, then there's no point in discussing anything.
