Take Arada back to the past

Chapter 861, Good quality at a low price, large portions to satisfy.
After having dinner at the restaurant, Yang Xiaole drove a pre-prepared bus, taking his family to the beach.

This place was specially found by Yang Xiaole.

The beach and rocky area are adjacent to each other.

"Everyone assemble!"

On the beach, at Yang Xiaole's shout, everyone lined up with smiles on their faces.

"Count!"

“1, 2...11”.

After watching the count, Yang Xiaole said, "I've distributed all the items to you. Go play by yourselves in a bit."

"But you all better behave yourselves. No one is allowed to go into the sea without my permission. You're just playing on the beach. If anyone dares to run around, I'll give you a good spanking later!"

"Ha ha!"

Upon hearing this, the children burst into laughter.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole said seriously, "This is no joke. I will take you out to sea in a while. Anyone who misbehaves will not be taken."

He'll be away for a while, and if we don't take care, things could get messy.

That's why he didn't mention bringing all the children at the beginning.

Taking care of children also involves responsibility.

Don't be fooled by the fact that these are all teenagers.

Only then did everyone start to take it seriously.

"Alright, go play! I'll take you to catch razor clams!"

At his words, the children let out a chorus of screams.

Wang Qiuju and her husband naturally wouldn't go out to play, but they would follow behind and watch over the child.

Normally, the children aren't allowed to go in the pond at home, let alone the ocean.

Yang Xiaole then started to go crazy with the children.

"I'll teach you how to catch razor clams; you can figure out the rest yourself."

Then they started digging up the mud and sand and spreading salt.

Amid the children's screams, razor clams were pulled up one by one.

After Yang Xiaole taught him, he stopped paying attention to him.

The children were playing there excitedly.

"Ah! Crab! Crab!"

"This seashell is so pretty!"

"I caught this, give it back to me!"

"I saw it first!"

"Dongdong! Come back here right now! Don't go into the sea! You're being disobedient, aren't you? If you don't behave, your uncle will beat you up!"

Excited screams, bickering, and Wang Qiuju's roars could be heard from time to time.

Yang Xiaole and Qu Ying strolled along the beach, following behind the group, mainly to keep an eye on the children's safety.

"With so many children, if you leave, will your parents be able to manage? Please don't let anything happen to them!"

Qu Ying felt a little worried looking at so many children.

This is not the riverside inland.

Yang Xiaole looked at the children helplessly and said, "I know! I made all the preparations when I went back. What can I say? It's okay, nothing will happen as long as I'm here. I'll make arrangements after I leave."

Upon hearing this, Qu Ying gave a soft "hmm".

"Mom, come quick! I caught a mantis shrimp!"

As I was lost in thought, Yueyue's excited voice came over.

"Hey, here we come."

Qu Ying agreed and went over with the bucket.

Yang Xiaole followed behind with a smile.

After playing on the beach, we went to the rocky area, where a group of kids had never seen anything like it before.

It wasn't until high tide that the children, still reluctant to leave, headed towards the beach, drawn by Yang Xiaole's shouts.

The mother and father were carrying two bags of shoes.

There was nothing they could do; the kids got carried away playing and threw their shoes down, leaving the two of them to pick them up.

The group got into the car and started comparing who had the biggest find.

Back at the hotel, we asked the hotel owner to help us with the meal, ordered some more dishes, and had a late-night snack.

After everyone had eaten their fill, they returned to the hotel.

He didn't go home either.

"Are you asleep?"

In the corridor, Wang Qiuju, the mother, checked each room one by one.

Yang Xiaole looked at her and asked in a low voice.

Wang Qiuju nodded gently: "Yes, they've all taken a shower and gone to sleep. They've been up all day. You should sleep too. Your dad and I are here!"

Yang Xiaole smiled upon hearing this.

Indeed, these people usually get up early, and it's already close to midnight. In mainland China, it's rare to go to bed this late.

He then smiled and said, "Okay."

Yang Xiaole agreed.

Only then did he go back to his room to sleep.

On the double bed, Qu Ying was holding Yueyue.

Seeing him return, I asked, "How are things? Are you all asleep?"

Yang Xiaole hummed in agreement: "Everyone's asleep! It's getting late, let's go to sleep!"

Qu Ying hummed in response and found a comfortable spot to go to sleep.

There is a double bed in the room.

Yang Xiaole naturally squeezed in with Xingxing.

……

The next day, after getting up, Qu Ying ate breakfast and went to work.

The rest of the people were taken by Yang Xiaole to have fun.

Wuzhizhou Island, known as the "Maldives of China," boasts crystal-clear waters and coral reefs. This area is shallow water, so you can swim there.

We went to the Wuzhishan Tropical Rainforest, traversed the primeval forest, and climbed to the top to overlook the entire island.

We also visited the famous Tianya Haijiao (End of the Earth).

Qilou Old Street is the best-preserved cluster of arcade buildings in the Nanyang style.

He took these people to play all the games that were available.

……

A few days later, after Yang Xiaole had settled things in Hong Kong, he boarded a plane to Guangzhou and then flew to Myanmar.

I did not stay in Yangon.

Instead, they went to Mengdu.

At the camp, Yang Xiaole found Victor and Ivanka waiting for him.

The two seemed to be discussing something.

"gentlemen!"

Viktor and his companion, who were lying in bed, quickly stood up when they saw the figure beside them.

Yang Xiaole nodded slightly: "Yes, have a seat! When did you arrive?"

He had sent a message in advance, telling Ivanka and Victor to arrive here ahead of time.

"We arrived three days ago."

"Yes, the main thing I'm doing this time is talking to Viktor. I've asked you to come here because I want to use your channels to sell a batch of goods to the Middle East!"

Yang Xiaole gestured for him to sit down and told him what had happened.

He then lit a cigarette and smoked it.

It's impossible to explain the specifics clearly when delivering a message.

The goods should have arrived long ago, but since he's not here, no one can open them.

Viktor asked in confusion, "What goods? What's the quality like? And the price?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaole looked at Ivanka and asked, "A shipment of goods came from Hong Kong. Has it arrived yet?"

Ivanka nodded slightly: "The goods have arrived, but they haven't been unloaded from the ship. Their people are watching over them."

Yang Xiaole nodded and looked at Viktor:
"The goods have arrived, you'll see soon enough. I don't have the list or prices here, I'll find someone to make contact later. Ivanka, is the testing site I asked you to find ready?"

The experimental equipment definitely needs space.

However, Ivanka's people have been doing quite well here in recent years.

They have conquered a considerable amount of territory.

Ivanka nodded, "Everything is ready. We can take people and supplies over anytime!" "That's good. Take me to the dock first."

Ivanka agreed.

The two then went out together and drove to the pier.

At a hotel near the dock, Yang Xiaole gently knocked on the door.

The door opened a moment later.

"Old black!"

The familiar voice answered the door; it was Feng Aijun.

Yang Xiaole walked in with a smile and gave him a hug.

He already knew who it was as soon as he entered the hotel.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. In the vicinity of Myanmar, the most convenient military region is naturally the one in Yunnan Province. This trip is actually a way to gain experience.

After the two entered, Feng Aijun laughed and said, "Oh, it's you again!"

Yang Xiaole chuckled: "Why can't it be me? Why is it you again this time? Given your rank, it shouldn't be you!"

Feng Aijun smiled happily upon hearing this.

He then said, "The situation is a bit special. I have been transferred to another location and am no longer in the front-line troops. I am here with a mission."

"Oh!"

Yang Xiaole seemed to be deep in thought.

However, he knew the rules and didn't ask any further questions.

Even though we know each other, we still need to use a secret code.

After exchanging the code words, Yang Xiaole asked, "What did you bring this time? The negotiation will take place here. How much?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Aijun then said, "This time we mainly brought Type 56 automatic rifles and Type 67 machine guns..."

Landmines, 107mm rockets...

Type 69 main battle tank...

"We also didn't bring the J-7 and H-6D fighters; this needs to be discussed in person..."

Then he stated the price.

Of course, this is the price offered by the mainland, and we'll wait for them to haggle later.

After listening, Yang Xiaole nodded gently.

He then said, "Okay, you wait here. I'll contact the people here, and we'll talk about it together tonight."

"Okay! You go ahead and get busy!"

Feng Aijun agreed.

Yang Xiaole left after seeing this.

In the next room, Yang Xiaole put the two of them down.

Looking at Viktor, she recounted the entire conversation that had just taken place.

Then he asked, "So? Is the price expensive? They're all new! Not used!"

Viktor gave a wry smile upon hearing this: "Cheap, it's incredibly cheap, more than ten percent cheaper than the old equipment we sell. Sir, are you sure? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to doubt it!"

Yang Xiaole shrugged.

"I can confirm it!"

In fact, it is understandable.

Different production costs lead to different pricing methods, resulting in significant price differences.

Domestic products are generally of good quality and inexpensive.

Otherwise, the reason why so much foreign exchange was generated during the reform and opening up period was simply because it was cheap!
Many companies even dare to sell below cost price.

It's because of the foreign exchange reversal.

As long as you don't lose too much, you can make some money. Compared to overseas prices, it's as cheap as cabbage.

After all, the amount of iron ore imported into mainland China is not very large; most of it is mined and smelted domestically.

Viktor sighed upon hearing this: "At this price, I believe it will be very competitive. Where is it? Can I take a look? If the quality is acceptable, then there's no problem."

Yang Xiaole nodded: "Okay, let's do it that way! I'll take you to see the samples later. But there's one thing, I don't care what price we sell it for, but the purchase price can't be lowered any further! Only US dollars."

The current exchange rate of the US dollar is around 3.7, and it is expected to rise sharply to over 8 points this year.

It can hedge against the risks brought about by currency appreciation.

And there's nothing we can do about it now; the ruble has started to depreciate, while only the US dollar has begun to strengthen.

There's no other stable currency to use besides the US dollar.

No, there's actually another one, and that's the Japanese yen.

However, the US dollar naturally has stronger purchasing power.

The euro hasn't been released yet!
Victor agreed: "Okay, let's take a look at the goods first!"

Yang Xiaole agreed and took the two of them to find Feng Aijun.

At this moment, there was another person in Feng Aijun's room.

When the group met, they all looked at each other.

Yang Xiaole then said directly, "They want to see the goods. We'll have someone transport them to the training ground so they can inspect them!"

Seeing this, Feng Aijun nodded slightly: "Okay! We'll go make the arrangements!"

Yang Xiaole glanced at Ivanka and told her to make the arrangements. Then the group took a car to the beach.

……

At the dock, Feng Aijun and the other man boarded the ship together.

After a while, the two of them finally came down.

Feng Aijun looked at the group and said, "The goods can be unloaded now. Is it safe here?"

Upon hearing this, Ivanka smiled and said, "Don't worry, everyone here is one of us."

In order to unload the cargo, all the locals have been dismissed, and those remaining are all Ivanka's large team of personnel.

They were all brave and skilled warriors.

Yang Xiaole naturally translated it.

Feng Aijun was relieved to see this.

However, he found it strange to see that everyone there was from Russia.

But that's someone else's business.

They started arranging for people to unload the goods.

Boxes of goods were unloaded.

The last tank was placed on a wooden frame base, and the cargo was unloaded using the dock's lifting equipment.

Feng Aijun arranged for someone to drive a tank towards the destination.

The car is driving on the road.

Yang Xiaole did not sit with Feng Aijun, but simply had them follow behind.

On the bus, Yang Xiaole was pondering a question.

Victor's business can actually go on for a very long time, even into the year 2000.

After all, the Middle East is likely to remain in turmoil for a long time.

Part of it is because of oil, and another part is because there is a place there, the lair of the bald eagle's father, the giant squid.

That guy fought for many years in later generations.

Hamas, the Resistance Fox, and the infamous Slipper Army—these are all potential major clients!
Without causing trouble for the mainland, it's worth trying to make contact with those people.

We'll send all the most advanced equipment there.

Hmm, it doesn't seem like it's impossible!

But in that case, wouldn't we need a base?

Where should we put it?
Yemen?

That seems quite suitable; this is a being that can directly confront the bald eagle.

Palestine?

Not bad!
Or perhaps Iraq or Afghanistan.

He liked all of these places.

Yemen is actually a very good place.

With the Red Sea's vital passage in hand, we can fight whenever we want—and it's a perfectly legitimate fight!
Tsk tsk.

It seems that Hussein established his organization a few years later. Should he have gotten involved then?
Yang Xiaole thought about it and felt a little excited!

There are very few places that openly and honestly attack bald eagle merchant ships like this.

With this in mind, Yang Xiaole decided to ask Ivanka and Victor to keep an eye on these places sometime.

Let's see if we can get in touch with these guys.

After the Russian bear falls, the bald eagle can do whatever it wants in the Middle East, and then we can do something about it.
