After Black Lotus became a reborn person, he went completely crazy

Chapter 720 Hunting

There are so many guns and ammunition in their warehouses that I estimate it would take one for every person on Earth to distribute them all.

What we have to do is to take advantage of their corruption to get things done in a big way.

The more corrupt they are, the more opportunities we have.”

Someone below shouted, "We all know this."

“I know you know.

But a normal trade transaction is to exchange one dollar worth of our goods for one dollar worth of goods from the other party.

If you can get something worth 5 yuan in return, it would be considered a huge profit.

But this is not a skill.

If we can exchange something worth 1 yuan for something worth 10 yuan, or even 100 yuan or 1000 yuan, that's real skill.

So, what we should think about is how to make a small investment to gain a big return, how to use the cheapest things to exchange for things worth a fortune."

This must be made clear to prevent these people from acting rashly, disrupting the market and affecting her subsequent plans.

"how is this possible?"

"That's right, this is absolutely impossible!"

"Yeah, what you said is simply impossible. Dasu is corrupt, but he's not stupid or foolish."

"Only a fool would want to do business like this."

"That's right," everyone started talking at once.

……

Xia Ran waited until everyone had discussed enough before speaking again: "Anyone can do equal exchange, it doesn't have to be you and me.

If that were the case, we wouldn't be here today.

They are indeed neither stupid nor foolish, on the contrary they are quite clever, and what we need to use is their cleverness.

We can get in touch with a big Soviet businessman or a high-ranking official.

The channels and methods they use to obtain goods are not open to the public.

We are the next buyer for their stolen goods.

For goods that are of questionable origin and cannot be presented to the public, the price will naturally be lowered as much as possible, and the price will be as low as possible.

Only a fool would buy it back at full price.

Think about it again: do the things we exchange for belong to them personally or to the country? "

Xia Ran couldn't say any more, this wasn't the right occasion.

If I continue, it will become sensitive.

"Why don't we just barter with them honestly? Why make it so complicated?"

"Why don't I understand?"

Seeing that many people still didn't understand what he wanted to say, Xia Ran could only speak more bluntly:

“I hope everyone can do whatever it takes to get all kinds of things back at the lowest possible prices.

The means are not important, the methods are not important, and the ways are not important.

What is important is what useful things we have brought back that can contribute to the modernization of our motherland.

Don’t you want to make contributions to the country?”

"Of course I want to make a contribution, but it's not a good idea to do this.

This is not how we do business. Shouldn't we be honest and trustworthy?"

"That is, can such a business last long?"

It was obvious that everyone disagreed with Xia Ran's statement.

Xia Ran suddenly felt that it was impossible to communicate with these people.

Long-term business, who requires us to do long-term business with Dasu?

Xia Ran hopes that our country can join the upcoming hunting event so that we can get a bigger share of the pie.

Instead of enriching Old M himself, it made others earn a fortune.

Only a fool would do business honestly with Dasu.

Maybe everyone has a fixed mindset.

Forget it, it seems that these people can’t be relied upon. It’s better to do it myself and save trouble.

After figuring this out, Xia Ran said, "Everyone should just do what they are good at."

She can't talk too much in public.

Otherwise, an unintentional word said today will become a boomerang and be thrown back at her by someone with ulterior motives one day in the future.

Next was the question-and-answer session. Since Xia Ran had given up hope on the matter, his answers became more concise and efficient.

Anyway, she said everything she knew and could say, so she did her job well.

Just let things take their course from now on, it’s not something you can control.

It is true that it is better to rely on yourself than on others.

Minister Wu and Commander Chen remained silent, watching Xia Ran's change of attitude thoughtfully.

After answering all the questions from everyone, Xia Ran felt relieved and prepared to go home.

A secretary came over and said, "Comrade Xia, Minister Wu and Commander Chen would like to see you and are waiting for you in the reception room."

Xia Ran could only return to the reception room where she had been in the morning.

The two leaders were talking and communicating about something, and they stopped talking when they saw Xia Ran arrive.

"Comrade Xia, please sit down!"

Commander Chen pretended to be curious and asked, "I didn't expect you to know so much about Dasu. How do you know so much?"

“I’ve read several books about the customs and people of Dasu.

Plus, I like to inquire about information, so after careful consideration and connection, I can guess it almost exactly.

After all, if you don't know anything about someone else's territory, you'll easily suffer losses. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle."

Minister Wu asked, "What do you think of the people we have selected?"

Xia Ran's answer was also very official, "Everyone is excellent."

Minister Wu: "I feel like you're not very satisfied with them. Is there something they haven't done well?

If there is anything inappropriate, you must point it out and I will correct it if necessary. If not, I will encourage you to do better.

After all, you have more experience in this area than us.

We are all armchair strategists, but you are the one who has actually participated in actual combat."

Xia Ran thought that no one who could become a leader was a simple one.

Even her slightest change in mood was noticed.

Fortunately, I don’t have to deal with this kind of people for a long time, otherwise I would have a 200% unhappy life.

My little cleverness wouldn't last more than a few months in this circle of people.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Maybe the expectations are different?"

Commander Chen was afraid that Xia Ran might be hesitant to speak the truth, so he took over the conversation:

"Why is it that the you I met today are different from the you that Director Liu described? Why are you still hesitating and timid?

Oh, what are your expectations? Feel free to speak up, don’t worry.”

Xia Ran looked up at Commander Chen. Was he familiar with Director Liu? Or was he deliberately trying to trick her?

But if you think about it, just because some things can’t be said in front of many people doesn’t mean they can’t be said in front of few people.

Instead of holding it in, I might as well throw this idea out there and let others worry about it, so I’ll try it one last time.

"What I'm looking forward to is that we can organize a group of people to hunt Dasu, rather than simply bartering. That would be so boring."

Minister Wu thought it was a bit novel to use this word here.

"Hunting? Tell me in detail."

Xia Ran: "The only place that the officials of the Soviet Union dare not sell is probably the Kremlin.

As long as the benefits are sufficient, they dare to sell anything else.

As far as I know, merchants from Central Asia and Eastern Europe have set their sights on the mountains of military supplies and weapons in the Dasu warehouse.

And someone has already taken the contents of the warehouse and sold them.”

This news was extremely important. Minister Wu asked, "Are you sure? Is your information reliable?"

Xia Ran: "This news is absolutely reliable. The Dasu army has long been unable to pay their wages. In order to survive, they dare to sell anything.

At the end of the previous Afghan war, when there was no food or fodder, the generals tried their best to feed their troops.

That's why they were fighting the enemy while exchanging guns and ammunition for daily necessities.

So the war dragged on and on, dragging on for ten years.”

Commander Chen: "How did you know?"

Why does this sound a bit far-fetched? Are you sure you're not kidding?

Xia Ran: "I specifically learned this from the veterans who retired from that war.

This is a true story and it couldn't be more true.

I personally met an old soldier who sold his gun for a bite to eat.

It’s a pity that our country does not allow wooden guns, otherwise I would definitely buy one to keep for self-defense.
