Chapter 391 Making Money While Standing Up! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

The situation in mainland China in the 1990s was extremely difficult.

……

In hindsight, some things do seem unnecessary to dwell on or argue about.

But that was the prevailing environment at the time.

Wu Feng's Hong Kong Island "investment group" stood out at this time, and was simply a model of patriotic Hong Kong businessmen.

They don't fuss over trivial matters; their main strength is their generosity and willingness to spend money.

The key point is that a large number of small and medium-sized state-owned enterprises in the north have been helped by a large number of orders, and have survived the predicament of being on the verge of bankruptcy.

And it seems that these good days will continue for a while longer.

In addition, this group of Hong Kong Island 'investment groups' had clear objectives, and all the businesses they conducted had been reported to the relevant government agencies, so at least there were no procedural problems.

There's nothing more to say; it was a smooth ride all the way.

Although for the Russian bear, it inevitably has the suspicion of taking advantage of the situation.

Compared to other wolves, Wu Feng's Hong Kong 'trade group' at least brought a huge amount of supplies to exchange for goods.

It's much better than those who use all sorts of strange and underhanded tactics to exploit Russia's weaknesses in the international food market.

Although it's easier to make money that way, with any fluctuation potentially yielding tens or hundreds of billions in profits, doing so is simply too unethical.

Wu Feng wasn't some saint; he simply wanted to minimize the risks of engaging in such large-scale international trade.

The Russians have been training followers for seventy years, and they have not lacked loyal and devoted followers.

What if these guys get misled by Western propaganda and blame part of the chaos in Russia's country on the Hong Kong trade mission, then specifically target the Hong Kong trade mission? Wouldn't that be incredibly unfair?
Just in case, Wu Feng hired many highly educated intellectuals who understood the Russian language and had even studied in Russia, through relevant institutions in mainland China, to help him.

How can I help?

Before heading to Russia, prepare relevant communication skills in advance.

The main content is about how those vultures in Europe and America manipulate international food prices and use financial means to leech off the Russian bear.

At first, it was just internal training, but later officials from relevant departments in mainland China came to listen in.

This is a rare opportunity to observe and participate in international trade in food and major commodities, as well as financial warfare.

The effect is quite obvious!

Feedback from those working on the front lines within the Russian side indicates that, influenced by the concise language used by the accompanying interpreters, the hostility, or rather, displeasure, of the Russian personnel involved in the liaison work has significantly decreased.

That's how it should be!

Despite the fact that the Hong Kong trade delegation gained a huge advantage, the equipment that originally cost ten million dollars was now reduced by half or even halved, and the profit margin was considerable.

The problem is that they are all carrying real daily necessities and risking great dangers to come and trade.

It's better than that kind of exploitative financial manipulation that comes with no cost. Even the Russians probably don't realize how their money and resources have been completely drained.

After receiving positive feedback, Wu Feng instructed his frontline staff and trained translators to go a step further. They were to spread the word about how European and American financial groups stirred up trouble in the international financial markets, how they achieved their goals through various insidious and ruthless means, and other shady dealings, all as a form of entertainment.

In this world, what spreads the fastest? Rumors and gossip, gossip, gossip.

It is said that these rumors and stories, based on factual evidence, spread at an astonishing speed throughout major cities and rural areas in Russia.

The Russian people, who have been so well protected by the state, are also experiencing for the first time just how rampant the struggle for profit can be among Western capitalists.

If even a few people make a connection to the current situation with Russia and to their own circumstances, then it's a tremendous victory.

Not to mention others, even the officials from relevant mainland departments who were observing the proceedings were all stunned.

It's truly unexpected that these seemingly glamorous, gentle, and polite foreign capitalists would have so many insidious and ruthless methods used against their chosen enemies and targets.

Indeed, capital is all about getting the meat and the soup; that's their true nature.

In short, after all this trouble, although it took a lot of effort, the result was quite good.

At least, the members of the groups who went to the heart of the Russian bear territory to do business felt that the surrounding environment seemed much more friendly.

That's a Russian bear, after all. Who wouldn't want the other party and the surrounding environment to be more friendly when doing business?

Wu Feng never expected that this whole thing would bring about another benefit.

That is, many engineers and lesser-known scientists from Russia were happy to accept jobs in Hong Kong and voluntarily brought their families to join them.

There's no other reason than the sheer power of rumors.

In fact, Wu Feng didn't do much.

However, some rumors heard online in later generations were embellished and then 'unintentionally' leaked by trained translators during transactions with Russian personnel.

In later years, there were some stories on the internet about the experiences of top Russian scientists after they were recruited by the United States. I don't know if they are true or not.

If it gets out now, the effect will be absolutely phenomenal.

For example, top Russian scientists are generally restricted in their freedom after arriving in the United States, and are no longer allowed to engage in their familiar scientific research.

Anyway, America is rich, and it's perfectly fine to provide for a top Russian scientist's food, clothing, and other necessities for free.

When the knowledge or technology possessed by Russia's top scientists becomes outdated, the United States will proactively cut off supplies.

Once you lose your usefulness, no matter if you're a top scientist or not, you'll be sidelined. Tesla's experience and ordeal back then already proved this point.

Such rumors, with their seemingly plausible details, are bound to make those involved uneasy.

Especially for those lesser-known engineers and scientists, with their counterparts in Eastern Europe paving the way, they naturally don't have high expectations for Europe and America.

Nobody wants to accept that they enjoy the same expert treatment on the Russian side, working in a research lab or factory technical department, but suddenly become someone who needs to personally repair simple mechanical equipment, or even do hard and tiring work like cleaning cars.

No one dares to underestimate the Russian engineers and mathematicians!
Not only was Wu Feng happy to accept these engineers and unknown scientists joining him, but some organizations in mainland China were also delighted to come and poach them.
