Chapter 84 Huge Revenue, Dumping Throughout the Soviet Union

Over the next few days, kvass business operated smoothly and steadily within the framework of Moscow, like a well-wound machine.

The army trucks arrived at the warehouse on time and took away the first batch of 5,000 boxes of plastic bottled kvass, fulfilling their promise.

The Ministry of Trade's convoy followed closely behind, carrying away one hundred tons of concentrated raw material, symbolizing the beginning of cooperation.

The business of state-run stores did not show any signs of decline over time.

On the contrary, the number of people queuing at major state-owned stores is increasing day by day.

For alcoholics, kvass is the best alternative to alcohol.

For women and children, it's a sweet drink that rivals Coca-Cola.

However, what surprised Qin Yuan the most was the sudden popularity of "Tsar Kvass".

This high-end, luxuriously packaged glass-bottled kvass was originally intended to target the privileged class and the gift market.

Perhaps it's the unique smooth texture brought by the addition of hops, or perhaps it's the retro-court style packaging that quickly became popular among the "new elite" of Mosco, sparking a trend of competition.

After being piloted at the National Department Store, the first batch of 1,000 gift boxes sold out in a short time!
Ivan was stationed at the Ochakov factory, his phone ringing off the hook. He was directing the production line to work overtime to fill the bottles and meet the flood of orders pouring in from state-owned stores in Moscow and surrounding cities.

To Qin Yuan's surprise, an order from a government department was also quietly delivered, specifically requesting "Tsar Kvass".

Qin Yuan simply laughed it off. Regardless of which important figure was so fond of the title "Tsar," he would accept any orders and supply them in unlimited quantities.

A group of people gathered inside the Moskochkov Hotel.

Natasha buried herself in a mountain of financial statements, her fingers flying across the calculator as she sorted through the massive and complex income and expenditure of the past month.

Qin Yuan did not urge him. He stood by the window, gazing calmly at the street scene of Moscow outside.

The name "Far East Kvass" is now widely known in the Chinese community in Moscow.

The story of that Chinese man surnamed Qin stirring up trouble in the heart of the Soviet Union is becoming the talk of the town.

A cold smile curled at the corner of Qin Yuan's lips.

He knew that beneath this clamor, the undercurrents never ceased.

Those "creepers" lurking in the shadows—like Kadai and his ilk—could not possibly remain indifferent upon smelling this astonishing wealth.

The bait has been laid.

The line is already taut.

Qin Yuan was certain that greed would eventually triumph over caution.

He intends to use himself as the most enticing bait, patiently waiting for those impatient "big fish" to take the bait.

As for safety, he's not afraid of insecurity; he's just afraid these people won't come.

Now, all we need to do is wait for the wind to rise.

"President Qin, the data is in."

Natasha let out a long sigh, her voice tinged with exhaustion. She pushed a thick financial statement in front of Qin Yuan. "In the past month or so, the sales revenue of sheepskin coats was three million rubles, and the total sales of kvass was six million seven hundred thousand rubles, for a total value of nine million seven hundred thousand rubles!"

This figure was astronomical in the Soviet Union in 1990, especially for a startup!

But Qin Yuan didn't show much joy. He calmly opened the report and quickly scanned the data line by line.

Leaving aside the sheepskin coats, the price alone was six hundred rubles for more than five thousand pieces.

Kvass has three main sales channels.

These include the Moscow State Department Store and its affiliated stores, the National Supply and Marketing Cooperative system, and street vendors selling goods in bulk.

The national department store system had total sales of 180 million rubles, but only 108 million rubles were actually received.

A 40% "accelerated settlement fee" must be paid to the mall management.

The first batch of supplies from the national supply and marketing cooperative system amounted to 100 million tons of raw pulp.

The value of the agreement is 1020 million rubles.

But the actual payment was 0 rubles in cash!

The main payment methods include diesel fuel permits (worth approximately 3 million rubles), steel permits (worth approximately 2.2 million rubles), 100 wagons coordinated by the Ministry of Trade with the railway authority, and the right to use a warehouse covering 2,000 square meters with an annual rent of 6 million rubles. Street sales of bulk wagons amount to approximately 500,000 rubles; calculated at 1 ruble per cup, this channel actually yields the highest profit.

In addition, the ledger also shows 5000 boxes of supplies from the military system, which they did not pay for in cash, but rather with military sugar coupons.

Natasha explained, "Besides the diesel fuel for our own use, the resale value of the steel permits is about 300%, which means we can actually realize 660 million rubles."

"And the military's sugar coupons could be exchanged for three times their market value."

"So we didn't lose money on any transactions we made within the government system, it's just..."

Qin Yuan put down the bill and calmly said, "There's not much money on the books, it's all supplies, right?"

“Yes.” Natasha said with a wry smile, “We only have 458 million rubles in cash that we can actually use.”

She paused, her tone tinged with anticipation: "However, if this pace continues, it's entirely possible that by the end of the month, our total assets will exceed ten million rubles!"

Ten million rubles!

This number made Chen Jianhua, Li Xiangqian, and others present gasp for breath!

His eyes were filled with fervent excitement!
However, Qin Yuan's gaze was unusually calm, even carrying a hint of solemnity.

He closed the report, his fingers tapping unconsciously on the table.

"Cash... is still too little."

Qin Yuan's voice was low and deep, "These millions of rubles are needed to purchase raw materials for kvass fermentation, such as sugar and rye. Ensuring a stable supply of kvass is the most important thing right now."

"But most of what we have is paper wealth—licenses, coupons, and future orders!"

He tapped the table, calmly analyzing, "Given the current situation in Moscow, the ruble is depreciating every day!"

He looked around at everyone, his eyes calm and collected: "You all see what's going on in Moscow right now. Although we've been making money, the ruble is depreciating every day!"

"The value of a permit can shrink overnight! A supply and marketing cooperative's order can be canceled with a single word from a leader! The army's sugar coupons can also become worthless!"

"Gentlemen," Qin Yuan said coldly, "the Soviet Union's economic system is on the verge of collapse!"

"The chaos has only just begun!"

These words were like a bucket of ice water, instantly extinguishing the fervor in everyone's hearts.

“Therefore,” Qin Yuan said firmly, “we must transform our paper wealth into hard currency and strategic resources as quickly as possible!”

"First, keep your cash and exchange it for US dollars!"

"Natasha, contact your father immediately and use your banking connections to convert 200 million of the 458 million rubles in our account into US dollars and Chinese yuan!"

"The sooner the better, the faster the ruble will depreciate!"

The devaluation of the ruble is like a Damocles' sword hanging over our heads.

It urged him to speed up his pace and make money from money.

"Secondly, we must stockpile more strategic materials!" Qin Yuan's gaze fell on Chen Jianhua: "Jianhua, you are in charge of allocating the diesel fuel permit issued by the supply and marketing cooperative. Prioritize the energy supply of diesel fuel to the Khabarovsk factory. Resell all the steel and get as much money as you can!"

"At the same time, use the sugar coupons given by the army to exchange for large quantities of white sugar!"

"White sugar is a hard currency, with a stable value on the black market, and may even appreciate in value! It is also an important raw material for our future kvass production!"

Chen Jianhua nodded solemnly.

Qin Yuan's gaze fell on Li Xiangqian this time: "Xiangqian, railway transport capacity and storage space are our lifeline!"

"You must personally take Haiyang to ensure the Ministry of Trade's promise of 100 free freight cars throughout the year is fulfilled, and you must obtain the official approval!"

"In addition, process the paperwork immediately for the one-year rent-free period for the 2000 square meter warehouse in the city center!"

"We must ensure the safety of supplies and avoid the risk of requisition!"

Qin Yuan's thinking was clear and ruthless. Faced with tremendous "success," he saw the hidden crisis and opportunity more clearly than anyone else!

"Also," Qin Yuan looked at Ivan, who had just walked in, "how's the situation at the Ochakov factory? Have you found out everything?"
