My girlfriend is from 1949

In another dimension, there is a complete world with a population of 25 billion.

The demand is so huge that it's practically a monopolistic market!

It's like how we, in modern times, have monopolized the entire world.

From clothing, food, housing, and transportation to heavy industry, airplanes, tanks, and artillery, everything was exported from China.

Even if it is known as the world's leading industrial power, it would be difficult to meet such a huge demand.

Therefore, if we want to have enough supplies, we can only purchase from other places.

In the New World, this is precisely the situation they are facing.

Although it wasn't a monopoly, given the situation immediately following the end of World War II, the demand was enormous.

Especially those countries that were reduced to ruins have recovered somewhat after several years of construction.

However, the demand in all aspects remains very high.

As for grain supply, they sold as much as they could.

Moreover, the price can be even more favorable.

With Chen Huai'an acting as a bridge between the two worlds, cooperation with the United States in the modern world became even closer.

They had previously urged us to purchase soybeans, even resorting to various forms of pressure.

Now we don't even need to urge them; we've proactively increased our orders.

In addition to genetically modified soybeans, there are also genetically modified corn and genetically modified rice.

If it's not genetically modified, I wouldn't want it!

The core principle is to take from the people and use it for the people.

Although the United States did not lack food in 1949, and was even quite well-fed.

However, exporting at low prices can still... no, it can help some Americans eat cheap food.

The current relationship between China and the United States is completely different from the historical trajectory.

The establishment of the New World originally led to the United States supporting the reactionaries and imposing various blockades on them.

But things are different now; we are actively doing business with the United States.

Correspondingly, the US should also allow our goods to enter the country.

This is an exchange of benefits.

:

The United States, a country that would betray even its allies for its own interests, has nothing it wouldn't sell.

If they're not selling, it's simply because they don't have enough leverage.

Thanks to the support of the modern world, we are no longer subject to the control of Big Brother.

In many things, they are also able to truly be independent.

It is an equal trade relationship.

American intelligence agencies are very astute.

Upon realizing this, adjustments were made immediately.

We are currently in the midst of a Cold War confrontation, and everyone wants to destroy the other.

What the United States excels at is sowing discord and causing its adversaries to break apart from within.

Decades later, the Big Brother collapsed, and that's how he was killed.

I now realize that there is no intimacy between us.

Or rather, we have a tendency to break away and no longer get involved in the confrontation between the two camps.

The United States is naturally happy to see this.

Although the New World is currently very backward, it is still a large country with a population of 5 million.

No one dares to ignore this enormous, awakening behemoth.

Even in its weakened state, it can still pose a threat to the United States.

Previously, I felt that the East was a staunch ally of the Soviet Union and there was no possibility of division.

That's why there are various sanctions.

But now that they've seen an opportunity for differentiation, they naturally won't miss it.

Even if they can't bring it into their camp, they should still try to separate it from the Soviet Union, depriving it of this powerful ally.

In fact, by becoming independent from the struggle, they have become a threat to their opponents.

This is something the United States is happy to see.

Therefore, the adjustment of its China strategy has sent a strong signal of goodwill.

As for the Kuomintang reactionaries, they have all been driven to an island and are unlikely to achieve anything.

Although the slogan of "counterattacking the mainland" was shouted loudly, the situation changed from "the advantage is in our hands" to a defeat and a retreat to a remote corner of Taiwan.

:

In other words, they were able to survive by taking advantage of the fact that the mainland had no navy and lacked ships.

The US is supporting him because it wants to plant a seed in Asia.

Now that there's an opportunity to win over the mainland, the choice is quite clear.

If we could turn China and the Soviet Union, two neighbors, into enemies, we would be laughing in our sleep.

Therefore, the United States, driven by political needs and a genuine need for some light industrial goods, tacitly approved the trade between the two sides.

Although they do not have official diplomatic relations, they do very active business dealings behind the scenes.

Besides the United States, Britain and France, two other long-established countries, are also having a tough time.

The demand for food and light industrial products is huge!

During World War II, Britain and France implemented food rationing due to war damage, military conscription, and agricultural decline.

Post-war recovery was slow, and rationing was not lifted until 1949.

Basic food items such as bread, sugar, meat, and oils can only be purchased with ration coupons.

The daily bread ration for people in both countries is about 200-250 grams, which is about two loaves of bread.

It is far below pre-war levels.

By the end of 1949, the national economy had basically recovered, and agricultural output had rebounded somewhat.

However, supply stability remained insufficient, and the rationing system was not completely abolished until 1952.

Although both countries have consistently emphasized that they are not experiencing a famine.

However, sufficient supply has not been restored to date.

Therefore, genetically modified food, as long as it enters both countries at normal prices, will be snapped up.

Those invaders used opium to open the doors of the East back then, and now we can't let a single one of them go; we'll poison them all back!

The key point is that even after they were poisoned, they still said: Thank you!

Therefore, the New World's procurement volume was enormous, and the resources were all-encompassing.

The required expenses are also extremely large.

When transporting crude oil and minerals, it would be a good way to earn extra income by also bringing along some antiques and calligraphy.

These things take up no space and are expensive, so why not continue?

:

Moreover, Chen Huai'an's status is different now, so he's not afraid of being targeted when doing these businesses.

When it comes to the fate of the nation, everything else must give way.

After all, the two worlds are connected by the same lineage.

When they're poor, they're really ruthless; they'll do anything and sell anything!

Although the modern world is very wealthy, it is still poor and arrogant when it comes to the fate of a nation!

Chen Huai'an sat in a chair, leisurely sipping his tea.

He even took out his phone and played a round of PUBG.

After working non-stop for six months, I rarely had time to play games.

Feng Chaoyang sat at the table, carefully examining each item.

Although the outer packaging of the items included the name, origin, and estimated price.

However, as the owner of an antique shop, you still need to carefully inspect each item to avoid getting a fake, which would be difficult to explain.

The collaboration over the past six months has earned him a considerable amount of money.

Although in terms of profit, it's not as profitable as slaughtering big bastards, where you can make enough to last three years if you don't open for business for a year.

However, its value lies in its stability and large quantity.

The profits, even with a steady stream, can be quite substantial.

So he even bought the shops next door.

Given Shanghai's housing prices, especially for shops on pedestrian streets, the prices are unimaginable.

The fact that Feng Chaoyang was able to secure the deal in full within six months proves that he has already profited.

After all, Chen Huai'an believes in win-win situations when he does things.

We never try to have the best of both worlds – wanting the horse to run but not wanting it to eat grass.

If you take all the profits, who would want to cooperate?

The best way to cooperate is to ensure that neither party suffers a loss and the other party also profits, with interests aligned.

After half a year, Feng Chaoyang became more and more professional.

Although the sign says "antiques shop," they actually bought the shop next door.

Seal the gate with cement and turn it into a wall.

:

Then the two shops were combined, and the new shop was completely transformed into an auction venue.

They even specially hired two tall female waitresses.

Wearing Hanfu, they greeted guests in the store.

Nowadays, he has made a name for himself in the antique world.

Not just in Shanghai's antique circle, but throughout the entire country's antique circle, everyone knows there are good things here!

Especially after top auction houses were exposed for selling counterfeit goods.

The aura that top auction houses guarantee the authenticity of all items has been shattered, and users have lost trust in them.

Many wealthy people no longer trust these large auction houses.

This incident, ironically, made Feng Chaoyang's auction house famous within the industry.

Collectors from all over the country gathered here.

Therefore, auctions are no longer something you can just attend whenever you want.

It has been changed to an invitation system; only those who receive an invitation are eligible to participate.

Those who are invited now are all genuinely wealthy people.

In particular, the promise that all items in "Treasure Pavilion" are genuine has attracted many big bosses who love collecting but are only half-baked in the field.

Although no compensation was mentioned, his fame within the industry is not without reason.

At least none of the items I bought and had authenticated turned out to be fake.

"Tsk tsk, good stuff, all good stuff!"

Feng Chaoyang smacked his lips, his face full of smiles.

This time, a total of twenty items were sent for auction, each of which was quite valuable.

The cheapest item, according to the notes, is valued at five million.

If all these things were auctioned off, they could fetch three or four small fortunes.

For Chen Huai'an, this money could buy at least 30 second-hand cargo ships of 5000 tons each.

After six months of working together, Feng Chaoyang had become numb to some things.

I had been wondering where all these things came from.

Could it be that some emperor's tomb has been destroyed?

:

However, based on his experience, none of these things had an earthy smell.

It was never buried underground; instead, it was carefully preserved.

After the museum scandal broke, there were suspicions that these items might have originated from the National Museum.

If that's true, then I've also broken the law.

But after living in fear for two months, many people were arrested, and the matter subsided, so it didn't involve me.

Gradually, I finally felt at ease.

What truly put Feng Chaoyang at ease was the reason that his background was no longer questionable and that he was no longer worried about being investigated.

After six months of transactions, the transaction amount has reached tens of billions.

However, Chen Huai'an's bank card was never frozen, and no one investigated it.

This already explains a lot.

The fact that Tongtian was able to achieve this level of success leaves no doubt about his powerful connections.

Otherwise, how can we avoid triggering regulatory mechanisms under today's strict conditions?

After all, even he himself initially used a QR code for receiving payments, but because he hadn't registered it, his frequent payments were flagged as a dangerous account and his account was even frozen.

After several days of going through the procedures, the lockdown was finally lifted.

The amount he received was only a few hundred thousand.

However, Chen Huai'an received hundreds of billions of yuan using the same bank account.

There is no triggering mechanism yet, and it has not been investigated.

He no longer dared to delve into the reasons behind it.

All I know is that this young master has connections everywhere, so following him is definitely the right thing to do!

Feng Chaoyang smiled as he tidied up the items and placed them on the table one by one.

Once the auction begins, the hired female staff will serve the dishes one by one.

Both waitresses were tall and slender, and had received professional training; they had previously worked at other large auction houses.

Even training is unnecessary!

At first, the two waitresses applied for the job because the salary was decent.

At the same time, I was quite skeptical that an antique shop would hire two professional service staff.

:

They were even prepared to work for two months and then switch to another company.

After all, all industries are struggling these days, and antique shops aren't having an easy time either.

Like the shop next door that was just bought; it used to deal in antiques.

Business was bad, so they moved out when the lease expired.

The landlord of the shop posted "For Rent" signs for two months, but it still hasn't been rented out.

Then he was tricked by Feng Chaoyang and bought it directly.

So for the two waiters, this shop might be a profitable business.

But supporting two employees isn't so easy.

Even though the boss said that he would occasionally organize private auctions.

As insiders, they know that some antique dealers accumulate customers and then hold small auctions.

However, such cases are extremely rare and require a high level of sourcing.

So the two of them were just working temporarily for two months.

God knows, this store might lay them off one day because business is bad.

However, my mindset completely changed after seeing the auction for the first time.

The items that Boss Feng brought out for auction were of a higher standard than those from the major auction houses where they used to work!

Moreover, the guests who came were not what was expected.

They're just some old men who like collecting things, or ordinary people who want to find a bargain.

Luxury cars were parked outside; all the visitors were prominent business owners!

If this were in another location, it could be used to organize a large-scale auction!

After the auction ended that evening, the two waiters were having a late-night snack outside when they discussed whether they should quit.

The scene of their auction was terrifying!

One girl, who had a strong sense of justice, even found a public phone to report it.

The next day, several people in uniform did come to investigate.

Boss Feng made a phone call, and a few minutes later the team leader's phone rang.

After saying a few words, he gave Boss Feng a deep look and then left with his men.

:

Chen Huai'an, who answered the phone in the middle, simply made a call and had someone take care of it.

After all, this money eventually ends up in the national treasury.

Just like gambling is illegal, and if you get caught, you'll be fined and imprisoned.

However, buying lottery tickets is a way to win big with a small investment, and it becomes legal after paying taxes.

Rules are rules, but people are flexible.

From then on, the two girls stayed and worked there without worry.

Time ticked by, and before we knew it, it was eight o'clock in the evening.

One of the waiters announced, "Boss, the guests have arrived!"

-

I have a question for you guys: what's the current level of scrutiny?

When people are reading books, they encounter place names such as China, the United States, Japan, Beijing, and Shanghai.

Should it display Chinese characters or just letters?

I had previously seen it displayed in Chinese, but later I noticed that the place name in one of the comments had been changed to letters.
