Chapter 1232: Coke for warship!

Prior to this, the Imperial Group obtained a large amount of rubles by borrowing from banks in Sulian and harvesting wool, and then exchanged those rubles for a large amount of mineral resources in Sulian.

Then it can be realized by selling to other countries or the Imperial Group's own companies.

This time, Yang Ming entered the global arms trade by hollowing out Sulian's large amount of second-hand arms.

In fact, Yang Ming knew that new arms and weapons were still very expensive, but second-hand arms were much cheaper.

Second-hand arms worth US$1 billion now may have originally cost US$10 billion, or even more.

Yang Ming knew even more.

If he had not conducted an arms deal with Su Lian in advance, Su Lian would soon sell Su Lian's second-hand arms with European and American capital in this way.

Now, Yang Ming and the Imperial Group are just one step ahead.

same day.

Yang Ming, Huo Jianning, and Li Jun talked secretly in the study for half an hour.

Yang Ming left the rest to Huo Jianning and Li Jun.

He took time out to meet Bashir.

In recent years, Bashir and others have poached many talents for the Imperial Group.

Talents from various industries in Sulian gradually left Sulian and Eastern Europe for Xiangjiang, and Bashir and others made great contributions.

When Yang Ming, He Chaoluo, Lin Xiuzhi, and Alina came to where Bashir lived.

After not seeing each other for a few years, when Yang Ming saw Bashir again, he found that Bashir had gained some weight.

"Mr. Bashir, nice to see you again."

Yang Ming got off the car and immediately shook hands with Bashir.

Bashir looked outside cautiously. No one else was watching, and he went in to welcome Yang Ming.

This is also the house Huo Jianning bought for Bashir's family.

At that time, Bashir knew very well that if Sir Yang and the Imperial Group had not come to help, he would have died in the hospital. Originally, he had great feelings for Su Lian, and it was absolutely impossible for him to betray Su Lian.

However, he found that Sulian's situation was getting worse and worse, and that the Imperial Group valued computer talents, so Bashir began to recommend those computer talents to join the Imperial Group's companies.

From then on, Bashir already knew that there was no turning back. Later, through his connections, he introduced more professors one after another, and the talents immigrated to Xiangjiang and joined the Imperial Group.

From the first fifteen people, to dozens, hundreds, and thousands of people immigrated to Xiangjiang.

On the one hand, Bashir felt a little tormented in his heart. He pushed all the elites of Sulian to Sir Yang and the Imperial Group.

On the one hand, he felt that Su Lian himself did not value those talents at all.

Moreover, even if the Imperial Group and Sir Yang did not poach those talents, these people would not be able to stay in Xiangjiang. Instead, they would go to Country M, Europe, or even Japan and Korea.

Because Bashir discovered that as Soviet Union's economy became worse and worse, Europe and the United States penetrated Soviet Union more and more strongly, and more and more people left Soviet Union and went to those countries.

“Imperial is very grateful for the talent you have to offer.”

At present, many laboratory talents in the Xiangjiang Science and Technology Park, as well as many senior professors and talents at Eastern University, Eastern University of Science and Technology, and Xiangjiang University of Science and Technology, are from Soviet Union and Eastern European countries.

In fact, Soviet Union can become one of the top powers in the world, and it is indeed very strong in science and engineering.

But before, Su Lian only paid attention to the military industry, but ignored the development of other aspects.

Nowadays, the Imperial Group has sufficient funds. Under the circumstances, these Soviet talents are really not inferior to those in Europe and the United States.

For the Imperial Group, the Xiangjiang Science and Technology Park and even many secret researches basically come from these Soviet talents.

With the push of the old Mr. Bashir in front of him, as well as Brooke, Yuri Luojiachov and others, those Soviet people left the Soviet Union together with their families.

From the beginning, it was carried out quietly to the gradual and direct public departure. At this time, Su Lian couldn't control at all, and he couldn't control these people.

Just like in history, the most powerful Soviet elites almost went to Country M.

"Sir Young, I hope their talent is not buried," Bashir said.

Yang Ming met Bashir and still respected Bashir very much.

In addition, Yang Ming once again persuaded Bashir and his family to go to Xiangjiang.

Of course, Yang Ming knew that Bashir's family was still safe now, but in a few years, it would be difficult to tell.

Bashir said: "Sir Yang, let me think about it again."

Yang Ming did not stay with Bashir for dinner.

After watching Bashir.

Leave here and go back to the villa.

That afternoon.

Huo Jianning and Li Jun have already started discussing the second-hand arms deal with Su Lian on behalf of the Imperial Group and Yang Ming.

When Gore first started talking about this matter with other subordinates, although some people objected, the vast majority supported it because they also felt that the second-hand arms were useless and that they would be better off selling them to the Imperial Group instead of piling them up in the warehouse. In exchange for U.S. dollars, grain, and even Coke and Red Bull.

These are what they need most.

That night.

Huo Jianning and Li Jun came back to discuss the matter with Yang Ming.

"This is the first arms list."

17 Z-class Type 611 submarines!

1 cruiser!

1 destroyer!

1 frigate!

10 heavy cargo ships!

. . .

Historically, this was the list of barter exchanges between Soviet Union and Pepsi-Cola, also known as the famous Coke-for-warships list.

In fact, this was done by Europe and the United States to dismantle Soviet arms.

However, now Yang Ming is also negotiating based on this list.

This list, according to historical negotiations between the two parties, is worth more than 2 billion U.S. dollars. If converted into Hong Kong dollars, it would be more than 10 billion Hong Kong dollars.

At this time, in the late 1980s, arms worth more than 10 billion Hong Kong dollars were indeed very valuable.

If it were not second-hand arms, but new arms, this transaction might be more valuable.

Huo Jianning and Li Jun were surprised. How did the boss know about Su Lian's weapons?

"Boss, how did you know that Su Lian was willing to sell these arms?" Huo Jianning asked in surprise.

"These are sold first. The Soviet Union has shrunk its power. On the other hand, in order to please Europe and the United States, it deliberately sold these arms in exchange for their support. Of course, this is the first batch of arms cooperation we have discussed with them. Next, there will be a large number of other arms, such as tanks and guns. As long as they sell them, we can collect them, just like collecting junk, and we will sell them again."

Of course, with this first batch of arms transactions, the Imperial Group can become the sixth largest maritime military force in the world with these arms.

This is the scariest thing.

However, Huo Jianning and Li Jun were still a little surprised. These second-hand arms were still very expensive. After the boss got them, who would they sell them to?

It is really difficult for ordinary countries to swallow such arms.
