Chapter Seventy-One: Soviet Business Opportunities

  He stared at Qin Tian for a few more seconds, but couldn't see anything unusual, so Feng Si Zhe shifted his gaze to Guo Zhi and the others. Then, speaking in a calm and unhurried tone, he said, "Hmm, adding it all up comes out to be 390 million. To be honest, this amount of money isn't much, but it seems like that's all we can do. Alright, I'll go ahead and say my decision first."

  After saying this, Feng Siche deliberately paused for a moment, in order to attract everyone's attention. As expected, after Feng Siche did so, all the people were motionless, with their ears perked up and listening intently, the whole room was quiet to the point where even a needle falling on the ground could be heard.

  That's exactly what I wanted. Seeing that everyone was almost ready, Feng Si Zhe pointed to the northeast direction and said, "The place of our opportunity is where Big Brother is."

  Elder brother, this term is not unfamiliar even to people born in the 80s, and it's often heard from our parents. In the early days of the Republic, the Soviet Union indeed helped this country a lot. At that time, people were simple and kind, so they naturally called them "elder brothers". The usual term was "Soviet elder brother", implying a deep relationship like between an older and younger brother. However, later on, due to various reasons, differences in routes, ideologies, pursuits, and ideals all came together, causing the relationship between everyone to gradually drift apart.

  "What? That's your answer?" Guo Zhi was the first to stand up, he looked at Feng Si Zhe who had gone around in a big circle, thinking it would be some kind of great opportunity, but didn't expect him to just point to the Soviet Union and that's it. This... isn't this just playing with people? What kind of opportunities could there possibly be in the Soviet Union?

  As for Guo Zhi's reaction, Feng Si Zhe had already anticipated it. If he hadn't reacted that way, it would have been strange. "Heh heh, do you guys think so too?" He just smiled and shifted his gaze to others, wanting to see if there were people with similar foresight here. But upon looking around, he was disappointed. Everyone, including Qin Tian and Duan Yunpeng, seemed puzzled, thinking that he had suddenly gone crazy by saying something like the Soviet Union might split up and collapse.

  Everyone in the room was puzzled about what business opportunities there were in the Soviet Union now, and heard that it was a bit chaotic there at present. What to do if you go there? The crowd was perplexed.

  It's better if they don't understand, if everyone understands, is this still a business opportunity? Then everyone will go to the Soviet Union to pick up gold, and what can Feng Sizi show off? Hehe smiled, unhurriedly picked up the teapot, poured himself a cup, took a light sip, and said, "Top-grade Maojian, the taste is not bad."

  "Hey, Feng Shao, what are you doing only saying half of what's on your mind? Don't you know that everyone is anxious about this? Come on, come on, just say whatever it is you're thinking! You can't keep torturing us like this!" Duan Yunpeng looked at Feng Sicheng who was still sipping his tea, and couldn't help but speak urgently. These people were all invited by him, and if Feng Sicheng continued to be so vague and confusing, wasn't that just slapping himself in the face?

  I know Duan Yunpeng is anxious, and I also know that everyone is puzzled. Everything has a timing, if the timing is too long it will be overcooked, if the timing is too short it will not be ripe, neither of these are good, the best is to have a moderate temperature, just right, and now is the time to reveal the truth, if we stop here, the effect will really develop in the opposite direction.

  "Cough!" After a light cough, Feng Siche put down the teacup in his hand and began to speak with an extremely serious expression: "I have analyzed various materials and drawn a conclusion that the Soviet Union may not be able to hold on for much longer and will likely disintegrate."

  It's really a matter of life and death. After brewing for half a day, Feng Siche finally came up with this sentence, which was shocking to everyone present. At that moment, no one cared why Feng Siche said such a thing or what his point was. The only question on everyone's mind was: could this really happen? Is it possible? How could the Soviet Union, such a large country, disintegrate and collapse without any invasion or war? This is simply unthinkable.

  Everyone had doubts in their hearts and didn't believe that Feng Siche's words would be true, but no one was the first to speak out against him. No one knew why - was it because of Feng Siche's confident expression? Or was it because he had previously expressed a series of views on future events that had all come true? Whatever the reason, in any case, no one opened their mouth to question him.

  Feng Siche took full advantage of this time and began to speak to several people, "I said that the Soviet Union would disintegrate for a reason. The development and intensification of various contradictions within the Soviet Union, and the influence of Western countries' peaceful evolution strategy on the outside. But the key reason why peaceful evolution was effective was still due to internal factors in the Soviet Union. It was because the traditional model of the Soviet Union had become outdated and failed to be updated in time, which hindered the development of productive forces and led to increasingly severe social crises. Moreover, the reform of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union took a wrong path, leading to the failure of the reform..."

  No matter whether everyone can understand or not, Feng Siche began his analysis of the event that the Soviet Union must disintegrate. In the past, as a social commentator, he had participated in this topic many times and was very clear about the reasons for the collapse of the Soviet Union. Now, let him talk again, it's just a matter of opening his mouth, without any hesitation at all.

  "In summary, I said that the Soviet Union will inevitably disintegrate. As they are in chaos before their disintegration, our opportunity has come. Solving the chaos is like before the war, the country's system management, legal supervision, and everything lost its due effect. In this situation, we only need to bribe the necessary officials and related powerful figures, then we can buy their strongest, most needed, such as steel, heavy industry factories, military factories, even corresponding technologies, and a large amount of oil that has been stored in warehouses without any use, all at a very low price. We can transport them back to our northeastern border by train after train. At that time, no matter whether we sell it to private individuals, enterprises, or even transfer high-tech to the country, we will all benefit from it. Why wouldn't we do such a good thing?"

  Feng Siche said with great excitement, after speaking like a lecture, he continued: "The current Soviet Union is like a shaky building. We can take the valuable things inside before it collapses. This is a profitable business, and maybe at a low price, we only need to exchange a bottle of ordinary white wine for items worth tens of thousands of yuan. Everyone remembers, this is just an ordinary bottle of white wine, which costs only a few yuan in our domestic market. Well, do you think this business is worth doing?"

  Feng Siche's wonderful and exciting speech instantly made Duan Yunpeng and others physically and mentally excited, with agitated expressions. They all knew that if the facts were really as Feng Siche said, they would have made a fortune this time. With just a few yuan, they could get tens of thousands of value, even if there would be necessary consumption such as transportation and traffic in between, but the profit in it was also extremely astonishing. This is absolutely a doable business.

  "Excuse me, Feng Shao, if things are really as you say, why would you tell us about such a good opportunity instead of doing it yourself?" Wang Run's mind was still clear, although he had been presented with a beautiful blueprint by Feng Si Zhe. He still had doubts in his heart. If the facts were indeed like that, then why wouldn't he do it himself and give up such a great opportunity to them? In front of benefits, there was no need for modesty or yielding. From the environment they grew up in, all friendships would make way for benefits.
