Take Arada back to the past

Chapter 845, Without Hesitation

Liu Qing's words have already explained the general meaning.

Yang Xiaole naturally wouldn't force herself too much.

"Alright, if there's nothing else, I'll head back now."

Seeing this, Feng Guanhua opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything and just watched him leave.

"Old Feng, we need to have a serious talk about this!"

Upon hearing Liu Qing's words, Feng Guanhua snapped out of his reverie and nodded slightly.

There were some things we couldn't say directly when Yang Xiaole was here, but now that he's gone, we naturally need to discuss them properly.

This matter is extremely important.

……

Yang Xiaole returned to the hotel, where Ivanka was still awake and waiting.

“Ivanka! The deal is done. Go and discuss it with them. The money can't be paid all at once, but we can guarantee it will be paid in installments over five years. Do you want US dollars or rubles? If you want rubles, we can exchange them at 8 rubles to 1 US dollar. Of course, we can also provide supplies.”

He can pay for this money himself first.

However, if things continue like this, no matter how much money he has, it won't matter if he does all these things in the future.

A virtuous cycle is still needed.

"8 rubles?"

Ivanka was surprised: "So high? The black market rate was only 6.8 rubles before, but today it has risen to 1:5. Isn't 8 rubles too much?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaole raised an eyebrow.

It went up?
So fast?
It's likely that Huang Qiujing's side has already started making moves.

He pulled himself together and smiled, "It's alright, we'll just use 8 as the standard, but the cycle will be longer. The latest batch will be given out in five years."

Such large-scale transactions, even those between countries, are usually settled over several years.

It's not particularly strange.

The amount of foreign exchange that needs to be paid will be reduced many times over.

Some foreign exchange plus supplies—this is the path from my past life. I wonder if my involvement will make the negotiations a little easier.

Ivanka naturally agreed.

……

For the next few days, Yang Xiaole didn't go anywhere and stayed in Irkutsk.

Ivanka, on the other hand, went ahead to inquire and scout out the route.

After several days of communication, they agreed.

The payment method is divided into three parts.

The first batch was 30%, the second batch was paid for with supplies, and the third batch was paid for with rubles.

Yang Xiaole calculated that this one move netted him around 20 million US dollars.

Because the third batch of rubles would be practically worthless five years later.

The $20 million ruble will only require a payment of $5,000 or $6,000 five years later.

This is the result of their negotiations.

At that time, the mainland will still need to use this condition to negotiate and see which option is more suitable and whether there is a need for changes.

……

A few days later, Ivanov was released as scheduled.

At this moment, in the hotel room, Ivanov was standing respectfully in front of Yang Xiaole.

"Sir! Thank you for rescuing me!"

Yang Xiaole waved his hand dismissively and calmly said to him, "I won't get involved in the Mafia's affairs. If you need funds, Ivanka will provide them. If you need weapons and equipment, you can solve them yourselves. If you can't solve them, I will provide them. If you need combat personnel, Ivanka will also provide them."

"If I want you to make this place big and strong for me, especially in terms of infiltration into local businesses and government personnel, you must do it quickly."

Anyway, he's only causing trouble for people here and abroad, so he doesn't feel any psychological pressure.

Even without his control over the Mafia, the Mafia will still follow the same path in the future; that cannot be changed.

However, he still added, "But one thing is certain: for ordinary people, it's best not to go too far if possible."

Ivanov listened quietly, of course.

The next step was naturally to let Ivanov handle it, and Ivanov gave him his strong support.

The collaboration between Ivanka and the other person will likely accelerate his plans here.

It can be described as a powerful alliance.

Unless there is official physical suppression, no one can do anything to them.

……

With the matter in Irkutsk resolved, Yang Xiaole boarded a plane bound for Moscow.

It was already completely dark when Yang Xiaole got off the plane.

Yang Xiaole knocked on the hotel door.

"Who!"

The door opened, and there stood Huang Xintong.

The other person was wearing an oversized bathrobe, clearly having just taken a shower.

Hello!

Yang Xiaole looked at the other person and greeted them with a smile.

Huang Xintong smiled at him and said, "Hello, long time no see! Come in!"

Yang Xiaole followed him inside with a smile.

Huang Qiujing was already lying in bed at this time.

After Huang Xintong came in, she went straight into bed.

"Are you all getting ready for bed?"

Yang Xiaole looked at the two of them and asked with a smile.

Huang Qiujing smiled and said, "No, we were just chatting. Have you eaten yet? Would you like to order something to eat?"

"No need, I've already eaten!"

Yang Xiaole declined the offer, looked at Huang Xintong, and smiled, "When did you arrive?"

Huang Xintong pulled the blanket up and smiled, "I came over as soon as I got Jingjie's message, it's been a few days. How's your business going?"

Yang Xiaole lit a cigarette, took a puff, and chuckled, "It's alright, things are almost settled. How about you? Has Qiu Jing told you about it?"

"Yes, I did. I went to the vicinity of Kyiv to do some research these past few days, and I just got back today."

Huang Xintong said with a smile.

He then said, "The black soil there is of very good quality and is indeed very suitable for developing agriculture. However, most of the farms there are state-owned now. Private farms have started to increase in the last two years, but they are still relatively few. If you want to achieve the results you want, it may take a long time."

Yang Xiaole nodded gently: "You're right, but that's only for now. In a while, there will be many private farms, and even many state-owned farms will gradually be transformed into private farms."

Huang Xintong nodded: "There is indeed this trend now. The state-owned farms are no longer living up to their name."

He paused for a moment and continued, "Since you want to develop that area, I will arrange for people to come and invest, introduce technology, and build an agricultural center here that integrates seed, fertilizer, and grain procurement, including the deep processing of grain and oil."

Yang Xiaole smiled and nodded: "Yes, that's exactly what I want! However... you can take out loans as much as possible to buy a lot of agricultural land here and use mechanized planting. The loan term is 5 years, and the loan will be repaid in rubles when it expires."

Developing agriculture does not necessarily mean buying land and farming yourself.

But with such a great opportunity, it's impossible to let it slip by.

It's just a lease now; in five years, we can gradually turn all this land into our own.

Huang Xintong had already heard Huang Qiujing talk about exchange rates.

Although he didn't really believe it, Yang Xiaole said that he would do it even if it meant losing money.

"Okay! I understand. I'll have my team come and check it out later!"

Yang Xiaole hummed in agreement, then looked at Huang Qiujing with a smile and asked, "Has the black market forex market been quite active lately? Could you be losing too much money?"

The exchange rate is roughly the same across the country.

He could sense it in Irkutsk.

These past few days, long and short positions have been locked in a battle.

At least in the short term, it's a loss.

Huang Qiujing smiled and said, "Don't worry, they won't be able to hold back for long! If it's really as you say, and their goal wasn't entirely to make money from the beginning, then they'll have to drive down the exchange rate. Besides, we still have some backup plans we haven't used yet!"

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole was puzzled. "A backup plan? What backup plan?"

He wasn't good at finance, so he wasn't very clear about the specific details of the operations involved.

Of course, he wasn't a complete novice because of what he had been exposed to all along.

Suddenly, he had an idea.

He asked with a smile, "Are you referring to public opinion?"

When people talk about the collapse of the Russian bear, the first thing that comes to mind is the economic collapse and the dragging down of competition, but the truth is far more complicated than that.

The most fatal blow actually came from the ideological and public opinion system.

The Russian bear has done a lot of things that undermine the foundation of the wall.

One of the most serious mistakes was loosening news control.

How can things improve when public opinion is controlled by foreign capital?

This is impossible.

Huang Qiujing smiled and nodded, "Yes! Our media company entered the market as soon as it was opened up, and now our free daily newspaper has the largest circulation in the country."

Yang Xiaole smiled upon hearing this.

This model of free newspapers originated in later generations.

The newspaper is free, but you have to pay to advertise in it; that's where the profits come from.

Free means widespread availability.

Even illiterate ordinary people would take a copy home, just to wipe their bottoms!

When foreign capital enters Russia, most of it does not sing praises of the leader of the white bear.

By reporting on the dark side of this place, the people gradually develop resentment towards the leaders on the White Bear side. When this resentment accumulates to a certain point, it will naturally erupt.

Then, smiling, he asked, "So, how do you plan to proceed?"

Huang Qiujing smiled and said, "Explaining it too clearly to you would be too complicated. There are people handling it below! You don't need to worry about it. We don't need to win. As long as we stabilize the Russian base here, that's not a loss. Those people won't be able to sit still."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole rolled her eyes: "You mean, even if you told me, I might not understand?"

He naturally knew the principle; in later generations, bald eagles were used to remotely breed many "public intellectuals."

Overall, they're about the same.

Huang Qiujing's goal was not to defeat the opponent, but simply to hold on and disrupt their plans; that would be victory.

These people will automatically come to him to discuss this matter.

"Pfft!"

Huang Xintong's voice came from the side.

Seeing that both of them were staring at her, Huang Xintong quickly explained, "Don't misunderstand! I didn't mean to mock you!"

Huang Qiujing pouted and laughed, "You can't blame us for this! Who told him to be a hands-off manager for so many years! We had to handle everything! The actual operation is not that simple, it's exhausting to explain!"

Huang Xintong just smiled and didn't comment.

Yang Xiaole rolled her eyes: "Fine, you're right! I'm just too lazy."

The three then started chatting there.

We talked about things from the past, which involved work.

After a while, Huang Xintong checked the time and said, "Then I'll go back first. You guys chat, and we can talk about it tomorrow!"

Huang Qiujing stopped her: "Don't rush, let him go take a shower, you still need to change your clothes! Go and wash up!"

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole shrugged: "Okay, you guys chat, I'm going to the bathroom and take a shower."

After saying that, he stood up.

I went to the restroom.

Yang Xiaole smoked a cigarette and read the newspaper for a while before going to the toilet and taking a shower.

When he came out after washing up, the main lights in the room were already off.

Huang Qiujing was lying in bed.

"Fell asleep?"

Yang Xiaole called out softly, and when there was no response, she muttered, "She really fell asleep quickly!"

I thought Huang Qiujing was just too tired.

After drying himself off, he crawled straight into bed.

"Honey! Have you missed me?"

Yang Xiaole chuckled and bypassed the high ground from behind, directly taking control of the area.

Sudden.

He sensed something was wrong.

The person inside the bed was completely naked, wearing nothing at all.

He was very familiar with Huang Qiujing's body.

Something felt off as soon as I got it.

It's not Huang Qiujing.

He doesn't usually keep his scanner on all the time, and the room was dimly lit, with the other person's back to him, so he didn't react for a moment.

He felt awkward at that moment.

The woman in his arms was trembling slightly, clearly not asleep.

Yang Xiaole slowly withdrew her hand.

But before he could pull it out, a soft little hand pressed it down on him.

Yang Xiaole pondered for a moment upon seeing this.

He asked, "Was it Huang Qiujing's idea?"

The person in his arms was Huang Xintong.

Huang Xintong would never have done such a thing without Huang Qiujing's encouragement.

Moreover, Huang Xintong's cooperation is also required.

"No...no, it was...it was my own idea!"

A trembling sound came from under the covers.

Yang Xiaole sighed upon hearing this. These two matters had just calmed down, and now another one had arisen.

Qu Ying will probably be furious then.

"Do you know what you're doing?"

It's impossible for him to have no reaction; he's not some saint.

Huang Xintong fell silent for a moment upon hearing this.

She rolled over in one go, staring straight at him, biting her lip as she said, "I'm so old and still not married, don't you really understand at all?"

Yang Xiaole was silent for a moment.

Yes!

Although he looks like a young man, he is actually 41 years old.

Huang Xintong is the same; she still looks like a young girl, even though she's already over forty.

Huang Xintong is a few years older than him!
He then asked, "Have you thought this through? They can't give you a marriage certificate in Hong Kong now."

"I know!"

Huang Xintong hummed in agreement, then sat up halfway and wrapped herself around him.

A red lip print was left on his lips.

Which man could withstand such stimulation?

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole abandoned his attempt to be a virtuous man and responded enthusiastically.

……

Huang Xintong bit her lip, and a tear rolled down her cheek.

She didn't know whether she was happy or in pain.

At this moment, she had already decided to go all in.
