After Black Lotus became a reborn person, he went completely crazy

Chapter 613: Exchange for 2 Cars

The next day, Xia Ran prepared a lot of things and went to the trade fair as usual.

Not long after, the Russian man who had been verbally agreed to meet yesterday arrived.

The car he drove over was a red one that looked very much like a Hongqi car and appeared to be about 70% new.

It is equipped with a 2.4L straight-cylinder four-row gasoline engine with a maximum output power of 95 horsepower.

Xia Ran paid the other party for 5 pairs of sneakers, 2 leather jackets, 5 floral shirts, 5 pairs of floral shorts, and a 5-jin plastic pot of white wine.

The unit price of sneakers is 13.2 yuan per pair, the unit price of leather jackets is 32 yuan per piece (pigskin), the unit price of floral shirts and floral pants is 5 yuan, and the unit price of white wine is a few cents per pound.

The total price is no more than 180, perfect.

Of course, this is just the cost price of Xia Ran.

The cost price of other local traders is not that low. Their purchase price is almost multiplied by 3 or even 4.

Maozi was also very satisfied with what he had exchanged today. Before leaving, he was still praising Xia Ran as a good person.

She finally discovered that people in Dasu particularly like to give out nice guys cards.

But one thing Xia Ran can learn is that people especially love to praise others.

Even though we know that this may be due to other people's habit, it is still very happy and wonderful for the person being praised.

She should study more, this is what we lack in our country.

After Xia Ran got the car keys, he handed them over to his own people to register, pay taxes and get license plates.

This car is kept for personal use.

Almost all of the more than 100 people today are at this big fair.

This is the absolute home court of Xia Ran’s team.

When this car was first launched in Dasu, the price was 7000 rubles per car, and later the price increased to 9000 rubles per car.

A family compact car came out in the middle, the cheapest one was 3500 rubles.

This price was not cheap. At that time, the average monthly salary in the Soviet Union was only more than 100 rubles, and only scientists and university professors had a salary of more than 200 rubles.

An average family needs to save money for many years to buy such a car.

Fortunately, education and medical care in Dasu are free, and housing and food are subsidized, otherwise I really couldn’t afford it.

When it first entered our country in 86, the price was only RMB 2 per car.

With the rapid depreciation of the RMB, the price soared to 80 yuan per vehicle by the end of the 9s.

The current price is basically around 7 to 8 RMB, which is a slight drop.

Of course, this price is also closely related to the high export taxes in Dasu and the high import taxes in our country.

The reason why cars are expensive is mostly due to taxes.

For example, the current import tax on automobiles in our country is as high as 180%-220%. What does this mean?

This does not include product tax (value added tax). Fortunately, there is no consumption tax for the time being, otherwise the price would be even higher.

There are policy exemptions for bartering at ports such as Fenhe, which is also intended to promote trade between the two sides.

But this exemption is conditional. For example, if you enjoy tax exemption benefits, then these things can only be sold within the province.

We cannot leave the province. If we do, the cost price will increase a lot.

Logically speaking, with Dasu's heavy industry so developed and with excess capacity, even if it were just selling these products, it would not have ended up in this state.

Due to economic sanctions, the Cold War, and low cost-effectiveness (high selling price), the things they produce are simply not popular in the West.

It is relatively rare in developing countries like us and the Northern Dynasties, but the price is too high and our ordinary people cannot afford it.

The earliest imported ones were used as official vehicles.

It is said that the cost price of one of their vehicles is only 1000 rubles or more than 1000 rubles, and no more than 2000 rubles.

In short, various factors have led to an absolute surplus of vehicles.

Not only do they set their prices too high, but high export taxes also make their cars completely uncompetitive in the international market.

Except that it was popular in our country for a period of time.

Today is a good start.

The most interesting thing is that today she doesn’t need to call out to them anymore, as she already has her own repeat customers.

I don't know which kind-hearted person went back to spread the word, but everyone knows that there is a beautiful lady in this market, and I won't tell you how many things she exchanged.

I can also speak Russian, so they don't have to make random gestures.

The most important thing is that the quality is good, and the Russians are not stupid, especially those who often barter.

They know very well whether something is good or not.

So, what greeted Xia Ran was a rush to buy goods.

There was really a rush to get goods. For small items, many people would choose the items themselves, then drop their items off and leave.

Without even discussing it with Xia Ran.

Fortunately, the Russians are still very honest when it comes to transactions.

The items they throw away or hand over are all of similar price, so those who barter with them will not suffer any loss.

He won’t cheat others either. I don’t know whether he won’t cheat others or he doesn’t want to cheat others.

Xia Ran still collected a bunch of second-hand goods and a few new ones.

There are still a lot of fur products.

In terms of clothes, Xia Ran mainly promotes floral shirts, floral shorts and short-sleeved shirts today.

There is no need to rush for sportswear, and these summer clothes are cheap to purchase and have higher profits.

She was afraid that if she didn't sell it now, it would not be long before winter came.

Their country is different from ours, winter comes especially early.

Then another tank was brought in. Xia Ran had no idea how much it cost, so he just bargained for a while, depending on his mood.

In the end, I got the tank back for less than $120.

Then we can give it to a nearby farm for use as farmland.

You can exchange some food or agricultural products with the farm, which is another business.

During the process, Xia Ran also collected some chocolate, amber, jade, antelope horns and other things.

The chocolate tasted delicious, and Xia Ran took the time to eat a piece.

Everything else was put away.

At the end of the trip, we got back a Moskvich, which is what people call a tin car.

Xia Ran exchanged it for something that cost less than 160 yuan.

But the basic things this Russian wants are toothpaste, toothbrush, toilet paper, soap, and wine.

He would sell them back to other people in his country, and he could sell them at several times the price, so he estimated that he could make a lot of money.

A young man looked at the car and said: "Boss, if we modify the back seat of this car, we can use it to transport goods.

I've seen people welding and modifying it, and it can easily hold ten sacks of potatoes.

I think we don’t need to buy a special car to transport goods, we can just use these few cars.”

"Okay, this can save a lot of costs."

Chengzi: "Boss, you exchanged a lot of things, but you are really lucky.

We have been here for so many days and haven't met many people who changed their cars. But you have only been here for two days and you have already changed two cars.

I’m so envious.”
