My girlfriend is from 1949

Looking around, the warehouse was filled with all kinds of goods.

Next to Yang Yongli, there were 100 dump trucks and 20 excavators lined up neatly.

Ahead, there were mountains of canned fruits and meats, as well as large quantities of dehydrated vegetables.

The wide variety of goods gives it the feel of a large general store.

They have everything, and in huge quantities!

Pointing to the corn kernels packaged in a plastic bag, Yang Yongli asked in surprise, "So many corn kernels, are these African guys going to switch to eating them as their staple food?"

On the side, a thousand tons of corn were neatly piled up.

This corn is not used as a staple food, but rather to make corn starch and extract high-fructose corn syrup.

Corn has a high yield and its fructose syrup extraction is cost-effective, making it suitable for cola production.

That's how Americans do it; Chen Huai'an was just copying it.

Moreover, this technology didn't even exist during the Republic of China era.

It wasn't until the 1960s and 70s that Japanese scientist Yoshiyuki Takasaki invented a technique that used enzymes to convert corn starch into high-fructose corn syrup.

Commercial production began in the United States in 1967, with an initial fructose content of 15%, which was increased to 42% the following year. In the 70s, a product with a fructose content of 90% was developed.

Chen Huai'an is now sending over the data and production machinery, making it a unique product in the world.

Sugar is a hard currency globally and can be an important way to earn foreign exchange through exports.

However, the new China was still in a state of disrepair and needed time to rebuild, and large-scale planting of corn would take time.

Therefore, it is temporarily necessary to transport the corn from the modern world. Once the corn is harvested in a few months, it will no longer need to be transported from the modern world.

Moreover, as long as you pay, you can get neighboring countries like North Korea, Vietnam, and Myanmar to plant it on a large scale, and then buy it back.

They would not refuse such a win-win trade.

The People's Republic of China has just been reborn and is currently in its weakest period.

As long as we avoid advanced weapons and heavy industrial technology, we will not arouse the suspicion of the Soviet Union and the United States.

Even if it vigorously develops light industry, the Big Brother will provide strong support.

Back then, wasn't our strategy to develop us into a major agricultural country and become their stable food supply base?

It can solve the problem of supplementing light industry, but because it lacks heavy industry and advanced weapons, it needs the protection of its brother.

He could only obediently act as the younger brother and listen to his elder brother's orders.

Therefore, on the surface, the new China still needs to keep a low profile and try its best to play dumb while secretly gaining an advantage.

Now is not the time to show our strength.

After all, the Korean War was inevitable, which would lead to conflict with the interest groups led by the United States.

No matter how good the relationship is now, it will still fall apart when war breaks out.

At this time, we also need the support of the elder brother behind us.

Even if you don't support it, you shouldn't stab someone in the back, right?

After this battle is over, relations can be gradually eased.

Combining high-fructose corn syrup and cola is the most discreet way to make money right now.

It's also a way to tie interests together!

Occasionally, due to certain factors, the older brother abandons the high-protein feed clover and instead frantically expands the planting of low-yield corn.

The yields were far lower than those of crops such as wheat, which was one of the factors that led to the collapse of the economy and food supply.

If a large amount of light industrial products could be exchanged at this time, it would make the Big Brother pay more attention to corn.

In addition to providing political assistance, it can also deeply bind us together in terms of interests.

The more cards we hold in our hands, the more courteous they will be to us in the future.

Just as 76 years later, when the great powers faced a powerful China, apart from the Middle Eastern princes with a cloth over their heads, who else dared to speak loudly to us?

Inside the warehouse, forklifts were moving in and out, and the workers were extremely busy.

Yang Yongli was utterly shocked by the enormous warehouse in front of him, which seemed to stretch endlessly.

I had heard before that Brother Chen was a ruthless man with a wide and large business.

Seeing the mountains of goods piled up in the warehouse, I suddenly realized that I had underestimated this young man, Brother Chen.

At the same time, I also felt like slapping myself hard.

If I had known they were so powerful, I should have taken all the good stuff I found earlier.

"It's still too conservative."

Yang Yongli was annoyed, but his eyes were shining as he looked at the God of Wealth in front of him.

As long as you appease him, you'll never have to worry about making money!

I glanced over furtively and saw Lin Wan registering and verifying the generator set fifty meters away.

He quickly extended an invitation: "Brother Chen, I know a place that's really fun. How about we try it out tomorrow? Don't worry, it's absolutely safe, and I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"

He spoke in a very low voice, with a lewd look on his face, making it obvious where he was going.

Chen Huai'an shook his head: "I'm going on a long trip tomorrow to discuss a big business deal."

They're all worldly people; they can easily pick up on the lewd implications.

It's just going to a club; business entertainment all follows this routine.

However, I have no interest in or time to go to such places.

Tonight I'm going to the Republic of China to deliver supplies and discuss the oil issue.

"A big deal?" Yang Yongli raised an eyebrow and asked tentatively, "Brother Chen, you sold so much stuff this time, the deal you're going to discuss tomorrow must be huge, right?"

This is a probe, an attempt to extract useful information from the limited conversation.

To make money, you need to proactively discover business opportunities and find out customer needs through conversations!

After thinking for a moment, Chen Huai'an decided to give this snobbish guy another shock.

After getting to know him for a while, I found that Yang Yongli was a very capable guy and easy to work with.

However, its characteristics are also very obvious, namely, it is extremely realistic and admires the strong.

Only by keeping him under control can you make him obediently follow orders and do things properly.

Chen Huai'an pretended to be nonchalant and said, "This time we're going out to purchase 200 million tons of crude oil for Sinopec, which is about a billion yuan."

Of course, this is the price of oil in modern times, not in the Republic of China era.

However, given the price gap spanning over seventy years, prices are not comparable.

"Two million tons of crude oil!" Yang Yongli's eyes widened, and his mouth was agape enough to fit a goose egg!

I was deeply shocked, and my head was buzzing.

He knew all too well how difficult it was to import crude oil under the company's name.

Just look at the Middle Eastern princes to see how much profit is involved.

As a middleman, I naturally coveted this business.

But he also knew that without a strong enough background, he wouldn't even be able to get a license!

They could only watch helplessly and do some small resale business.

Unexpectedly, the person in front of me has such a powerful background that they were able to secure an order from Sinopec.

At least the famous bosses I know don't have such strong tactics.

At this moment, Chen Huai'an's stature in his heart had risen to an unimaginable height.

Just as he was putting in all his effort to figure out how to be a good sycophant, a van followed by several large trucks drove in.

Lu Tong waved from afar and called out, "Wanwan, I'm here!"
