This very abnormal situation is actually not shown in the official documents of both China and the Soviet Union. In the Soviet Union, many interest groups are involved in such matters. For them, customs taxes and other matters do not fall into their hands, so why should they care?
¡°Anyway, money can only be considered money when it is in your own hands. The country¡¯s money belongs to the country. In addition, the military also occupies a major interest in this, and the Soviet customs defense side has also been bribed. Therefore, even though most parts of the Soviet Union have become popular with Chinese products, they cannot be seen in official Soviet information. No matter how much evidence there is of importing Chinese goods, as for the tariffs obtained because of these Chinese goods, it is even less. The entire Soviet customs defense received treasury tariffs on goods from China, which was less than 10 million US dollars. Even Gorbachev and Yeltsin, two people who did not deal with it, found it very ridiculous.
But even if it is something ridiculous, because it involves Yeltsin himself, he can only continue to be ridiculous. As for Gorbachev, although he wants to control it, but with so many powerful people involved, as long as he dares to control it, let alone He is the General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. Even if he is the Tsar of Soviet Russia, he is still useless.
It is because of this stimulation that Gorbachev believes that those in power are not good people. Only by resolute reform and getting rid of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union can the Soviet Union be restored to a prosperous future. As for whether such a thing can be truly accomplished and whether the current ruling class has changed its view on the Soviet Union's status quo after overthrowing it, Gorbachev has no control over it.
Since the Soviet Union has Yeltsin and his interests, smuggling and other matters are not a problem for them at all. But the Chinese side also didn't say anything, so it was more particular.
In the final analysis, this kind of smuggling is of great benefit to China as a whole. Whether it is the export of light industrial products to earn foreign exchange, or the machines brought back to be updated by domestic factories, it is a great benefit to China's overall strength. Good thing. Although there will be huge losses due to tariffs, in terms of actual benefits, those tariffs will simply make the bosses look down upon them.
It is for this reason that the bosses above would rather Liu Dong and the others smuggle more than talk about tariffs. Of course, if the machinery trade declines year by year in the future, Chinese officials will still recover these smuggled taxes based solely on those light industrial products. After all, the main reason why they can turn a blind eye is still because of those Soviet machines.
Even if these things are brought to China through formal channels, it is not that easy. If smuggling can be obtained, that would be great. Just assume that these things are made by China itself. Anyway, generally speaking, this matter is China has taken advantage of it, and the issue of tariffs has become a trivial matter under such a major premise.
While the barter transaction was going on in full swing, Liu Dong and his team gathered together. In addition to Taro Nagashima in Japan, Lao Wang in China, and several other people were basically here. , especially Ren Dadao, who usually doesn't show up at all, arrived in Moscow early. The main reason for being so positive is that the main purpose of this gathering is to discuss their Huanya Mining issues.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡ With this project, Huanya's rate of making money immediately soared. But when it comes to the fastest growing subsidiaries during this period, apart from Ren Dada¡¯s Huanya Mining, the others really don¡¯t count.
Although the main projects of newly-established domestic enterprises have begun to be completed, they still need at least one or two years of running-in period before they can officially make a profit. Although Huanya Special Steel is also developing, because the total volume has reached a certain height, although it is expanding all the time, it still seems not so conspicuous. As for Daxing Tool Factory, although it has expanded, it has not yet completely occupied the domestic high-end tool market. Although those foreign companies have been defeated by Daxing Tool Factory, if you want to clean them out of the domestic market, you can only rely on Daxing Tool Factory. Factory is not that easy.
And there are some projects that Daxing Tool Factory simply can¡¯t get involved with. It is simply impossible for those foreign companies that bundle equipment to sell domestically to provide such lucrative after-sales services as knives. With the obstruction of these companies, even though the companies using the machines are domestic state-owned enterprises, Daxing Tool Factory still cannot grab their orders.
By comparison, only Huanya Mining has the fastest development speed. Although Huanya Mining has not been very profitable until now, with an investment of one billion US dollars, the annual net profit earned is only less than 10 million US dollars. But Liu Dong knows that when China breaks out its strong industrial strength, Huanya Mining, which still seems to only use money but not make money, will be able toThe horse racing project has become a profitable project of Huanya Group.
It is precisely because of knowing this that even when the main players of Huanya Mining were working on large projects in the Soviet Union, Liu Dong still attached great importance to Huanya Mining and asked Huanya Mining to swallow up some other mining companies and integrate existing ones. H.
Ren Dadao is very grateful to Liu Dong for his strong support to Huanya Mining. Those who are engaged in the mining business these days are not said to have an easy life, and even those coal mines in China are not said to be making a lot of money. The generosity of those coal bosses in a certain province in later generations is definitely not seen now.
Nowadays, if anyone has a coal mine, not many people will envy it, because for ordinary people, it is equivalent to a bottomless pit. Even large state-owned factories are losing money, let alone small bosses. This is just about coal. A mineral. The current value of iron ore is not very high, plus some other minerals, except for gold, silver or diamond mines, which are equivalent to hard currency, other minerals are not very prosperous.
In the lobby of the office, Liu Dong sat on the main seat and asked Ren Daodao beside him: "After delaying so much time, we have obtained the shares of BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto, and Vale." How much?"
"Well, although our Huanya Mining has money, and the mining industry in general is not very prosperous now, those guys still don't let go. If money matters are easy to handle, our cash flow of Huanya Mining is not small. The key is They don't talk to us about this matter. Even if they talk about it, we don't get many shares. Our company has more shares from BHP Billiton, about 5.23%, and Rio Tinto has more shares. A little less, there is also 4% of the shares.
But the key lies in Vale. After a lot of effort, our company finally got only 1.03%. This small amount of shares is of little use at all. In this way, it is not as good as Japan and the others to get more. Yawata Steel and the others have 13% of the shares in Vale, and I heard that they want to acquire more shares, even the ones in our hands. They are all concerned about the shares.
The Japanese today simply don¡¯t treat money as money, and spend money more generously than us. "Speaking of this, Ren Dadao felt depressed for a while.
"The Japanese at this time were very arrogant. They even had a hand in the Rockefeller Building. As for the layout of the world, they are waving money everywhere. As long as it is valuable, even if it is dog shit, they have to lick it. Otherwise, it would not be able to prove the domineering power of their Yamato nation. Of course, compared to the later universe empires, the Japanese are not that crazy. At least they know that the whole world does not belong to Smecta.
"Japanese? They will stop laughing soon. By the way, Sanshui, how much are our current industries in Japan worth?" Liu Dong said to Huang Sanshui again.
When it comes to familiarity with Japan, apart from Taro Nagashima, the one who is most familiar with Huanya¡¯s senior management is Huang Sanshui. Although he still manages the intelligence on the Soviet side, in many cases, matters on the Soviet side are directly handled politically.
Just like the current friendship between Liu Dong and Yeltsin, it will definitely last forever. Even a large part of Yeltsin's assets are stored in Bank Asia. Being able to safely put money in SAIB proves that the friendship between Liu Dong and Yeltsin, or in other words, the friendship between SAIB and Yeltsin is unbreakable. At least Gorbachev has never put his money in SAIB. Inside the bank.
You know, for many high-level officials in the Soviet Union, the first choice for storing their private assets is naturally the Swiss Bank, but the second choice is definitely the Bank of Asia. When it comes to status, the Bank of Asia is among the big banks in the Soviet Union. In their hearts, it is definitely more reliable than their own central bank.
Thanks to the support of these big shots, SAIB¡¯s storage business has reached new heights over the past year. Just in Soviet rubles, the Bank of Asia has more than 200 billion stored in it. This does not include additional dollars, gold, diamonds, and other valuable items. Even in order to preserve this wealth, Bank Asia built a new treasury in the Soviet Union. In terms of defensive strength, even if it is not as good as the Central Bank of the Soviet Union, it is not much different. Compared with the development of other foreign companies in the Soviet Union, SAIB is more like a local bank in the Soviet Union.
Even many things from the military are placed in the Asia Bank. With dual guarantees from the military and local governments, Liu Dong really didn't know who would target SAIB in the Soviet Union.
