Chapter 2204
Action
He Yuzhu doesn't plan to tell Wang Zhenggang his true background for the time being; giving him a hint is enough.
Once things are settled here, I'll find an opportunity to tell him.
I believe he won't have any objections.
Wang Zhenggang was a smart man and did not press He Yuzhu for details about his identity.
With official backing, he felt even more confident.
"For normal business, the goods we have stockpiled are enough."
To win over the truly high-ranking officials, material goods alone won't suffice. Gold and US dollars are necessary.
He Yuzhu said confidently, "I'll handle the gold and US dollar issues."
Knowing that the state was behind He Yuzhu, Wang Zhenggang had no doubts whatsoever.
"Don't worry, Mr. He. I happen to know a few people whose families are descendants of high-ranking officials."
He Yuzhu told him that someone would come to find him when needed, and then left the coffee shop.
Meeting Wang Zhenggang alone was only one of my purposes; the other was to obtain some free gold and US dollars.
He Yuzhu just received a lot of intelligence from Wang Zhenggang, including information on Westerners doing business in the Soviet Union and information on major Soviet corrupt officials.
He Yuzhu, combining the intelligence from Lin Jingcheng's side, selected a group of suitable targets.
These people have hidden large amounts of gold and US dollars in their hands.
He Yuzhu's goal was to borrow their gold and US dollars.
He wandered around Moscow, found several targets, and acquired large amounts of gold and US dollars.
There are also some targets that are not in Moscow, and He Yuzhu is temporarily unable to reach them.
When He Yuzhu returned to the hotel in the evening, Lin Jingcheng greeted him anxiously.
"Brother-in-law, something's happened?"
"What's going on? Did the KGB find out what you were doing?" He Yuzhu asked nonchalantly.
The KGB was indeed powerful, but the Soviet Union at that time was in utter chaos.
If the KGB wants to investigate them, they will definitely be able to find out.
However, there are countless people who steal and sell national resources, and they simply cannot control them all.
If those at the top take the lead, how can those below stop them?
Lin Jingcheng said, "That's not what I meant. According to my intelligence, the secret bases of the United States, Britain, and Japan in the Soviet Union have all been raided."
He Yuzhu wasn't surprised that the news spread so quickly.
Lin Jingcheng has many elite men under his command. Those men have been in the Soviet Union for several years now.
It's not surprising that they knew this information.
"So what if it was stolen? What does it have to do with us? Do we even know who did it?"
Lin Jingcheng said with a puzzled look, "The information is very confusing."
The Americans claimed to have found evidence that the British stole it.
The British, on the other hand, presented evidence to accuse the Japanese.
The Japanese produced more evidence, claiming it was the Americans who did it.
The families were blaming each other, and they almost came to blows.
He Yuzhu secretly rejoiced.
It would be better if they fought.
When he took action, he casually dropped some evidence, letting them fight like dogs.
They drew the Soviets' attention away, making it easier for Lin Jingcheng to take action.
"Let them draw the Soviets' attention, and we can take the opportunity to do our own thing."
By the way, I've already contacted Wang Zhenggang, and he will fully support your actions.
You arrange for someone to contact him, and then, posing as his employee, make contact with the target.
Lin Jingcheng naturally knew Wang Zhenggang and had even met him.
However, Wang Zhenggang was unaware of his identity.
"It would be even more convenient if he could cooperate. However, if the Soviets come to their senses, it will be difficult for him to do business here in the future."
He Yuzhu said, "He wanted to take over a car manufacturing plant in the Soviet Union."
I have already agreed.
You can contact your friends and see who's willing to invest. Building a car manufacturing plant in China is still very difficult.
Without the approval from above, don't even think about it.
Only by uniting with a group of people can approval be obtained smoothly.
By allowing those people to invest, they are essentially giving their endorsement to the car manufacturer.
Lin Jingcheng said, "That's not a problem. I'll just tell my friends back home later."
After spending a few days in Moscow, He Yuzhu went to other places.
Faced with a nation on the verge of collapse, those who once held high positions of power abandoned their faith and began to plan for their own future and that of their families.
They were blinded by the gold almost without any resistance.
These national treasures, which are usually unknown to others, were sold off to mysterious buyers in the East at bargain prices.
On Wang Zhenggang's side, the supplies he had previously stockpiled were being hauled away truckload after truckload.
The truck didn't come empty; it was carrying huge wooden crates filled with design blueprints.
"That felt great. After going through this, my life has been worthwhile."
This is the sentence that Wang Zhenggang said most often.
He Yuzhu poured cold water on his enthusiasm: "Don't be too happy yet. These things will only belong to us if they are shipped back to China."
"It's not considered a done deal until it's back in China."
Wang Zhenggang said, "Don't worry, Mr. He, I've arranged everything with customs."
As you instructed, I rented warehouses near the customs and checkpoints, and the warehouses are filled with all sorts of supplies.
Once customs officials let them through, they can go to the warehouse to collect the supplies after their shift.
This is also a helpless move.
The Soviets now only recognize commodities, gold, and US dollars; they do not recognize their domestic currency.
He Yuzhu had limited gold and US dollars, and even after his trip to Japan, he was still somewhat strapped for cash.
Using company funds is risky, as it risks being discovered by other countries and impacting the company's business.
Finally, He Yuzhu had a flash of inspiration and thought of distributing supplies.
These supplies were all transported from China and were paid for in Chinese currency.
This is not a problem for He Yuzhu.
Back in China, many factories have been mobilized to produce the supplies needed here at full capacity.
These supplies were all in high demand in the Soviet Union.
Something that sells for ten yuan in China will be worth at least ten US dollars here.
He Yuzhu then distributed the goods to the customs officials at the normal market price.
Customs officials preferred the supplies to the money.
They obtained the supplies, went to the black market, and were able to sell them for even higher prices.
Because of this, customs officials can basically give them free passage.
The most advanced tanks were displayed conspicuously on the train, yet everyone ignored them and treated them as scrap.
Of course, there are also some people with conservative ideas who step forward to obstruct it.
But these people are a minority, and when faced with the plight of their families, they ultimately have no choice but to compromise.
To avoid future criticism, Lin Jingcheng only acted secretly, while Wang Zhenggang handled the public affairs.
He Yuzhu said to Wang Zhenggang, "News has come from the country that the leaders above are very satisfied with your actions and have even said that you are a patriotic businessman."
Wang Zhenggang's face turned red with excitement: "Is this true?"
He Yuzhu said, "Would I lie to you?"
"No, no," Wang Zhenggang exclaimed. "I was just a small-time hoodlum, I never thought I'd end up like this."
My cousin came back from China yesterday and told me that my dad got promoted to the rank of director.
I know this must be because you helped me.
He Yuzhu smiled and said, "This isn't a favor I did for you; you earned it yourself."
So many of our trains, transporting goods to the rest of the country, all pass through your hometown. How could the leaders of your province not know that?
I just had someone give me a hint. (End of Chapter)
