Kirilenko had asked Feng Yu this question, and Feng Yu was surprised. Kirilenko had always felt that although Kirilenko was not a strong-minded person, he had his own plans for the future. He did not expect Kirilenko to ask Feng Yu for advice today.
Feng Yu was willing to give Kirilenko advice and even be his mentor. Kirilenko did not want to blame him if Kirilenko fell into a trap.
"Brother Ki, didn't you say that you are not going to enter politics in the future? You also do not want to continue serving in the military. You will still be doing business."
"I will definitely be doing business to make money. The military is too tough, and politics is boring. How can it be as comfortable as now? But didn't you say that the Soviet Union is disintegrating? If what you said is true, then our current business will be greatly affected. "
Feng Yu understood that Kirilenko was afraid of the Soviet Union's political situation. Kirilenko's biggest source of income was from selling the Soviet Union's technologies and equipment. Once the Soviet Union disintegrated, then the country will need to rebuild its industries. It will not be easy for him to sell his technologies and equipment.
Although he can continue to import Hua Xia's products, he will not be able to make money from selling the equipment. From a few million Rubles a month to only 1 million Rubles a month. The difference was too big.
"Brother Ki, do you remember that I mentioned to you before? This is the stage where you need to accumulate funds. The Soviet Union will disintegrate, and it will take at least a year. Your best option is to buy minerals. For example, iron ore, oil, coal, rare metals, and anything else is fine. The development of any country is inseparable from minerals. In the future, with the development of science and technology, the demand for these will increase day by day. You might even become one of the richest people in the world.
Before the disintegration of the Soviet Union, there were many mining tycoons. These tycoons had close relationships with the military or government officials. These were all tricks played by these tycoons. The state-owned mines were sold to private individuals at low prices. Anyway, all they needed to do was to sign the contracts.
After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the prices of these mines increased, and the tycoons' pockets were filled. But later on, they were taught a lesson by Putin.
"Buy mines? Are you sure you can make money from this? But even if you can make money, the price of a mine is not low. Coal is still fine, but iron ore, oil, etc. will be very expensive. "
Feng Yu said mysteriously, "What if the price of oil plummets early next year?"
"What? Oil prices will fall? How is that possible? Oil is the most important mineral resource, and now Iraq owes a lot of debts. I heard that they are preparing to cooperate with Kuwait to reduce their extraction to increase the price of crude oil. "
Feng Yu couldn't help but think highly of Kirilenko. He didn't expect Kirilenko to know about this. Seeing Feng Yu's surprised expression, he couldn't help but feel proud.
"Oil prices will drop a lot at the beginning of next year. This is a good opportunity for us. If you trust me, then work with me on oil futures. I guarantee that you'll get double the profit in one month! "
"Double the profit in one month? How is this possible?! " Kirilenko could not believe what Feng Yu said. Even if the futures contracts were leveraged, the profits would double in one month, and Feng Yu still said the oil prices will fall. Doesn't that mean the oil prices will fall by at least 10% in one month?
The international oil prices had stabilized, but there were signs of rising. Even the Soviet Union's economists estimated that the oil prices will rise to more than 30 USD per barrel after the New Year. How dare Feng Yu say that it will drop?
"Fine, Brother Ki. You can't do anything if you don't believe me. Let me give you another suggestion. Who is the one who has the final say on the mineral reserves? Technology? Wrong. It's people! You can buy some low-grade mines that are about to be depleted. But you are lucky, and those mines will become high-grade mines! "
Kirilenko slapped his thigh. Why didn't he think of this? If it was the mines that were about to be depleted, then it would not cost much. As for how to change the mineral reserves, Kirilenko was very familiar with this tactic.
"Then we will continue to trade in industrial equipment during this period?"
"Now, the Soviet Union's normal industrial equipment is not selling well in Hua Xia. And general industrial technical information is no longer popular. Do you remember the business I told you about? "
Kirilenko stared at Kirilenko: "You still want me to sell firearms?"
Kirilenko had considered before. If he were to sell firearms, he would have an advantage over many people. His father was in charge of logistics. When he entered those military factories, the armory was like his own home.
Also, after Feng Yu told him about this, he asked around. There were a few 2nd generations who were doing this business. If those 2nd generations dared to do this, then they must have gotten permission from their families. If others can do this, why can't he do it?
But now that his father was supporting Yeltsin, he could keep a lot of the firearms, but they were going to be given to Yeltsin's army. Even if he wanted to resell them, he couldn't let it affect his father's plan to become the next leader.
If his father was promoted, even if he was promoted from a Major General to a Lieutenant General, his status would be different. But if his father failed, even if he had a lot of money, he could only be a rich man. If he was unlucky, he might not even be a rich man. He could only bring his money to Western Europe.
Feng Yu waved his hand to ask Kirilenko to calm down.
"Brother Ki, firearms does not mean that it is a weapon. It can be something else. I am only referring to military products. For example, I know you have an airport. You manufactured a lot of airplanes. They were originally for the military, but there was an overproduction. Hua Xia's aviation industry is developing fast, and we need some passenger planes. Do you understand? "
"You want me to convert the military passenger planes to civilian use and sell them to you?"
Feng Yu nodded and said: "That's right. Many of the military factories' products are not only for military use, but also for civilian use. You can also use this as a test to see if the government is strict with this industry. If the government is strict, you are only selling a few civilian airplanes. What can happen? If the government is not strict, then you can even sell missiles to me as fireworks! "
Hiss ~ ~ ~
Kirilenko took in a deep breath.
Selling missiles as fireworks? How can this work?
Feng Yu was not lying. In his previous life, some crazy businessmen in the Soviet Union also did this.
The bullets were sold as scrap copper, and the guns were sold as scrap iron. They were all sold at a price per catty. Missiles and landmines were sold as ordinary explosives for mining. There was even a rumor on the internet that a leader had instructed him to sell missiles as fireworks.
The Soviet Union's main battle tanks were stripped of their gun barrels and claimed that they were chain-rail tractors. Even China bought some of the tanks and dismantled them to study the structure of the tanks.
These people did all sorts of crazy things for money. Feng Yu asked Kirilenko to sell airplanes. It was the same as in his previous life.
Canned food for airplanes. This was real.
A plane full of canned food and other small items were traded for 4 large passenger planes. Those canned food and other small items were only worth the price of one plane.
Feng Yu had a relationship with Kirilenko, the second generation of the Soviet Union's military. Why can't he do this?
Of course, Feng Yu's target was not only 4 passenger planes. Since he was going to do this, he must do it big. Large passenger planes were rare in Hua Xia.
Many airlines in China were setting up or increasing their international routes, and they urgently needed large passenger planes. Just Sichuan Airlines alone, Feng Yu was confident that he could sell more than 5 planes, let alone Bing City, Guangzhou, and Shanghai.
Feng Yu did not believe that he could not compete with those European and US aircraft manufacturers if his prices were low. Also, Feng Yu did not only want to buy airplanes. Since he could manufacture airplanes, then he should be able to manufacture airplanes.
