Rebirth in 1970: I work as an educated youth in a forest farm

The investment fair was successfully held, and the occupancy rate of the first phase of stores reached about 75%.

Then more merchants signed contracts and settled in. According to the current situation, around New Year's Day, the occupancy rate will reach almost 80%.

Sheng Xiping stayed in the capital for a month or so. After finishing the investment promotion and follow-up matters, he went to Heihe with Wu Bingzhong and others.

In fact, the cooperation with Alexander and others was on the right track, and Sheng Xiping was not needed at all for regular goods transactions.

But this time the things were too special, so we had to be careful, so Sheng Xiping also went with him.

After everyone arrived in Heihe, they first made contact with Alexander and others.

Then it was agreed that on the evening of December 23, the transaction would take place in a secluded place in the upper reaches of Longjiang River, dozens of kilometers away from Heihe River.

On the afternoon of the 23rd, Sheng Xiping and Wu Yucheng, accompanied by Wu Bingzhong, Yang Lao, several leaders of the army, and the technicians responsible for inspecting and accepting the goods, got on several jeeps and set off.

Before they set off, a dozen covered trucks had been arranged to transport a group of soldiers who had changed into civilian clothes.

Behind the crowd, there were several military jeeps following far away, responsible for security work.

By the time everyone arrived at the agreed riverside, it was already dark.

This place is very remote. There are no watchtowers on both sides of the river bank. The river bank is also covered with reeds that are as tall as a person. It is very desolate.

Both sides have withdrawn their patrol posts here in advance, so no one will disturb them tonight.

It had just passed the winter solstice, the temperature was extremely low, and the wind on the riverside was strong. Everyone was wearing thick clothes, covering them tightly from head to toe.

Everyone waited anxiously in the cold wind, and the sky became darker and darker, until finally everything was pitch black.

At nine o'clock in the evening, there was finally light on the opposite side. The strong military flashlight flashed on and off several times, which was the signal agreed upon before.

On Jiang's side, Sheng Xiping also quickly turned on his flashlight and sent a signal to the other side.

Then, I heard the roar of the engine coming from the opposite side, and countless car lights came on one after another, looking like a long dragon from a distance.

"All attention, stay alert." The leading soldier whispered the order, and then a group of soldiers quickly dispersed and lined up along the river to maintain fighting status.

Alexander and others sat in the first car and came over. Sheng Xiping stepped forward and shook hands with everyone. "Thanks for your hard work."

"In the cargo boxes at the back are the things you want. Each box has a number. Just go back and assemble it."

Alexander pointed to the extended trucks behind him and said.

If it is a normal transaction between the two countries, the best way would be direct delivery.

It's the opponent's fighter pilot who drives the plane directly to the airport here. It's simple and convenient.

But now it is obvious that this is not the case. Alexander and the others did it in private without telling their superiors. The target of direct flight delivery is too large and can easily attract attention.

Therefore, this transaction uses land transportation.

On Alexander's side, the wings of the fighter jets were disassembled, and the fuselage and other components were packed into cargo boxes with specific specifications, and then transported over in extended trucks.

This method is actually very common and is mostly used during ocean-going cargo transportation.

After the recipient receives the goods, the container is transported by truck to the air force base, and then the wings are assembled.

After Alexander finished speaking, he waved his hand to signal the people behind him to open the cargo box.

The technical experts here stepped forward and carefully inspected the goods in the container with a flashlight. After checking that they were correct, they came out of the container and gestured towards Mr. Yang and others.

The soldiers here immediately stepped forward, took over the truck cab, and then drove the truck away.

Sheng Xiping had made an agreement with Alexander in advance that this batch of extended trucks was also within the scope of the transaction, and he exchanged supplies for them.

This eliminates the need to unload and load the truck, saving both parties peace of mind.

Trucks passed by one after another in front, and behind them, several big vehicles with cannon barrels also drove closer.

After the technicians checked and confirmed that there was no problem, the well-trained soldiers here immediately handed over to the other party, drove the big guy to the river bank, and drove directly back to the border defense camp.

Seeing that the delivery of the goods was completed, Sheng Xiping waved his hand, and someone carried seven or eight large sacks from a truck.

When the sack was opened, it was filled with bundles of green bills.

The total value of the goods is eleven million U.S. dollars. Previously, the superiors had specially approved five million U.S. dollars, but there was still a shortfall of six million U.S. dollars.

Sheng Xiping didn't have that many beautiful swords in his hands. He could only support one million, leaving the remaining five million with nowhere to go.

It just so happens that the authorities above are currently rectifying the blind introduction of wind.

Since 1985, there has been a wave of equipment introduction across the country.

The machinery introduced by most of the factories has indeed played a role in upgrading and promoting production, but some of them were blindly introduced without planning and order.

For example, there is a steel rolling mill that has imported equipment worth tens of millions of dollars, but it has been idle for a long time because of power problems.

There is also a province that spent 800 million to introduce a complete set of vinylon production equipment from Dongwa. After it was completed, it was discovered that the natural gas supply could not be solved and the construction could not be started at all.

There is also a fertilizer factory that introduced a production line from the United States and reduced the original number of more than 1,500 employees to more than 300.

Afterwards, management problems arose one after another, and the quality of technicians could not guarantee professional cooperation. In the end, it had to be changed back.

In December, China's "Business Weekly" estimated that the value of idle equipment in domestic factories at that time was about 20 billion yuan.

For this reason, the country has specially issued policies to suspend the introduction of equipment.

Those that need to be imported must undergo strict examination and approval, and foreign equipment must not be blindly introduced and waste foreign exchange reserves.

Such a card immediately freed up three million US dollars, which were all brought over to Mr. Yang and the others.

The remaining two million, as agreed, can be remitted to Alexander's bank account abroad.

Alexander randomly pulled out a few cards, checked their authenticity, then waved his hand, and several people came over from behind to count the money in the sack.

You don’t need to count them one by one, just count them clearly one by one.

After all the money was counted, Alexander ordered people to take away the sacks and load them onto the truck. Then several people hugged Sheng Xiping and Wu Yucheng goodbye.

"Sheng, it's a pleasure to cooperate with you. I wish you all the best and look forward to our next cooperation."

"It's a pleasure to cooperate. I'll transport the remaining supplies in a few days. Let's have a drink together later." Sheng Xiping patted the other party on the back and said with a smile.

The transaction was successfully concluded, and Alexander returned to the other side of the river with his men.

Sheng Xiping also took the time to get in the car and return to the border guard station.

After all this trouble, it was too late by the time they returned. The resident leader specially asked the cooking team to prepare meals for everyone to eat and keep warm.

"We will make an exception tonight. You can drink alcohol. This is our celebration drink and you must drink it."

Mr. Yang was so happy that he didn't know what to do. He shouted for someone to bring a few boxes of wine, and he insisted on having a celebratory drink with everyone.
