Chapter 1231 Arms deal!

Su Lian has no money.

It can be said that since Gore came to power in 1985, Soviet Union's original economy has been messed up by him. If Gore hadn't acted haphazardly, the Soviet Union's economy might have continued for a while.

However, after four years, under the changes made by Gore and others, the advantages of the planned economy have been lost, and it has not really received the support of European and American capital. As a result, the Soviet Union still looks very strong on the surface, but in fact, it is empty internally. .

Gore hopes to get the support of Sir Yang and the Imperial Group. On the other hand, he also hopes that Sir Yang will communicate more with Europe and the United States, hoping to truly support the Soviet Union's economy.

Gore didn't sleep well last night.

Even today, he was anxiously waiting to see Sir Yang, but he couldn't show it in front of Sir Yang.

"Sir Yang, did you sleep well last night?" Gore stood up and asked.

"Mr. Gore, I had a good sleep last night."

Maybe it was because of the weather, but Yang Ming did not sleep well last night due to jet lag. On the contrary, he slept very comfortably last night.

When Yang Ming sat down, Gore greeted Huo Jianning and Li Jun respectively.

At this time, Gore had met these two people many times and knew that these two people were the persons in charge of the Imperial Group and Sir Yang in Sulian.

"Sir Yang, that's it. I wonder if I can repay the loan in advance?"

really.

Gore brought it up anyway.

However, the issue of early repayment was originally proposed by Sulian's banks and the Imperial Group, but now it was Gore who proposed it.

"Mr. Gore, when it comes to bank cooperation, we have always followed the contract."

The contract was signed for fifteen years at that time, so it was fifteen years. How could it be repaid in advance?

Of course, Gore himself may not have thought that Su Lian might not be able to survive for three years now. Otherwise, he would definitely ask the Imperial Group to repay the loan in advance.

According to the contract?

This is indeed the case in the West, especially in financial cooperation.

Over the years, these Sulian banks have obtained a lot of interest from the Imperial Group, which is actually not a bad thing for Sulian now.

It's just that the current internal situation in Soviet Union is that there is a lack of funds, especially in foreign exchange.

After the global crude oil price plummeted in the 1980s, Sulian's economy was particularly affected, especially in terms of foreign exchange. Originally, Sulian relied on crude oil exports to Europe for most of its foreign exchange. However, global crude oil prices have plummeted and have never returned to their original peak.

Without exchanging crude oil for a large amount of U.S. dollars, Sulian would not be able to purchase many items from abroad.

Yang Ming seems to be well aware of Gore's difficulties.

"Mr. Gore, I understand your difficulties. Although we are temporarily unable to repay the loan in advance according to the contract. However, we can still continue to cooperate in other aspects."

Continued cooperation?

"Sir Yang, tell me."

"I know that the Soviet Union has a large amount of arms, especially some second-hand arms. I think they can be sold to the Imperial Group."

Second-hand arms?

It can be said that since the founding of the People's Republic of China, most of Soviet Union's expenditures have been spent on military industry.

Is this why Soviet Union is one of the top superpowers in the world?

Su Lian has a lot of munitions, a lot of various weapons, and many of them are even piled up in the warehouse.

Before that, in addition to some exports to other countries, some were also given to some countries. Countries such as Vietnam also had a lot of Soviet arms.

What Gore and Grachev didn't expect was that Sir Yang would actually buy Sulian's arms.

It's not that Su Lian doesn't have any weapons, on the contrary, it has a lot of them.

If it was in the era of Soviet Union's prosperity, it would have been impossible to think of trading arms, unless it was a normal arms export.

Now Sir Yang actually directly proposed an arms deal, even second-hand arms.

Gore and Grachev seemed shocked indeed.

However, when Gore heard it, his eyes lit up.

He thought it was good.

Now Su Lian is short of money. It is the lack of money that has led to Su Lian's current shortage of food imports, not to mention other aspects, such as Coke and even Red Bull.

"Mr. Gore, we can trade tens of billions of dollars in arms. Moreover, whether it is US dollars, grain, or even Coke, Red Bull, etc., we can exchange it."

For Yang Ming and the Imperial Group, they no longer need the ruble.

However, Su Lian is in great need of dollars, food, and even Coke and Red Bull.

Especially in recent years, after a large number of Red Bulls entered Sulian, they have cultivated a large number of loyal consumers, and these consumers have become accustomed to the existence of Red Bull.

Tens of billions of dollars in arms?

Gore and Grachev were even more surprised.

This was definitely a huge deal in the late 1980s.

The most important thing is that Su Lian now has these arms that can be traded.

Especially second-hand arms.

"Sir Yang, second-hand arms are also okay?"

"Of course, we will sell it to other countries." Yang Ming said directly.

Gore didn't know if it was excitement or something else.

He did not agree directly, but said: "Sir Yang, we need to discuss it first before confirming it."

"no problem."

Yang Ming and Gore finished their preliminary talks.

Yang Ming will then leave it to Huo Jianning and Li Jun to negotiate with Su Lian.

As expected, Su Lian will definitely sell those second-hand arms.

Because Su Lian is really short of money, and now he needs money in all aspects, and they can just use it to trade with the Imperial Group.

When Yang Ming, Huo Jianning, and Li Jun went out, Grachev personally escorted them out of the Klinin Palace.

Watching Sir Yang and others leave in the car.

Grachev hurried back to Gore's office.

Gore was milling around there.

Before Sir Yang came, he had guessed that Sir Yang and the Imperial Group might not repay the loan in advance. Unexpectedly, Sir Yang now proposed other trading methods.

This has never happened before.

"Mr. Gore, are you sure you really want to trade arms with the Imperial Group?" Grachev asked in disbelief.

"Of course. We have a large amount of arms, especially second-hand arms, which are piled up in the warehouse. Instead of treating them as scrap metal in the warehouse, it is better to sell them to Sir Yang and the Imperial Group."

"Are you afraid that others will object?" Grachev asked.

other people?

Can other people get the money now?

At this time, Su Lian was asking him for money from all sides. Where could he go to ask for money?

If Sir Yang hadn't proposed arms deals, it would have been difficult for Gore to think of other ways to get money.

"You call some people to a meeting to discuss this matter." Gore said.

When Grachev followed that list and called those people to inform them of the meeting.

Yang Ming, Huo Jianning, and Li Jun have returned to the villa.
