Siheyuan, don't yell at me

It is worthy of the formula produced by the system. The chocolate produced is almost indistinguishable from the real thing.

At least He Daqing didn't notice anything unusual in the food.

He Daqing immediately took the newly produced chocolate, drove to the Ministry of Public Security, and knocked on the door of Minister Lin’s office.

Minister Lin looked up at He Daqing and said:

"He Daqing, you look so happy.

What good news do you have to report to me?"

He Daqing pulled a chair, sat down and lit a cigarette.

"Hehe, nothing can be hidden from you, Minister Lin.

It’s a good thing indeed!

Minister Lin, do you know what chocolate is? "

"Chocolate?

What the hell?

“The last time I went to Hong Kong, I saw a kind of sweet food eaten by foreigners.

People in Hong Kong take it as a blood tonic and sell it at a very high price.

Foreigners call that thing chocolate."

"and then?"

“Then I tasted some and thought it tasted good.

When I came back, I thought of a way to use other raw materials, further process them, and produce chocolate.

This thing is very expensive when sold to foreigners!

I am just thinking about letting the Soviet Union eat the chocolate produced by our Red Star Distillery!"

Minister Lin looked at He Daqing, who had a somewhat sinister smile, and suddenly had a bad feeling and became alert.

"He Daqing, you are not doing anything again, are you?

Tell me, what is this chocolate made of?

"To be honest, it's cottonseed oil!"

Minister Lin took a deep breath. Oh my god, no wonder he was smiling so sinisterly.

What kind of oil is cottonseed oil? How could he not know?

Ordinary people only eat cottonseed oil in small amounts because they have no oil to eat.

If you eat that stuff in large quantities, you will definitely end up with no offspring.

"He Daqing, are you crazy? You're going to make me sick from eating this. What should I do?"

"Minister Lin, it's not as serious as you say!

I have removed all the poisons from cottonseed oil, so it is absolutely safe.

Even if the Russians eat this stuff for a meal every day, there won't be any problem.

I have eaten it myself, Minister Lin, so don't worry.

This is a lucrative business. The profit from a truckload of chocolate is equivalent to the price of ten truckloads of Flame Vodka.

Mr. Minister, China still owes the Russians nearly 4 billion rubles in foreign debt.

If we don't use something of high value to pay off the debt, are we going to use food and mines to pay off the debt?"

After listening to He Daqing's words, Minister Lin fell into deep thought. It took him a while to make a decision.

"Okay, let's do as you say.

But you can’t let people outside your factory know that you use cottonseed oil to produce chocolate, especially the Soviets, understand?”

He Daqing nodded.

“Minister, you can rest assured that I, He Daqing, will do my job.

In addition, we also sell our chocolates in Hong Kong.

If we sell more chocolate, we can save some food and reduce the burden on ordinary people.

If China wants to gain a foothold in this world, we can't always rely on the aid of the Russians. To forge iron, we must first be strong ourselves!"

Minister Lin couldn't help but look at He Daqing with a higher regard.

"He Daqing, boy, have you figured out something?"

"Minister, let me tell you what I think.

We Chinese are not willing to be inferior to others for long, especially because of the Russians' greed for territory and exploitation of their dependent countries.

I think that sooner or later we will have a falling out with the Russians."

"He Daqing, isn't your point of view too pessimistic?

We are all the fruits of the proletarian revolution and are brothers in the socialist camp. We can discuss everything.

It won’t come to that!"

"Minister Lin, the reason why I, He Daqing, am where I am today is because of me.

In addition to being brave, another aspect is to always prepare for the worst.”

"He Daqing, He Daqing, you actually have such a strong sense of patriotism!

What you said is not impossible, and I agree with your idea. It would be good if we could reduce the burden on the Chinese people.

As for the chocolate, you can just start producing it..."

With the support of Minister Lin, He Daqing immediately set about establishing a chocolate production line.

An air compressor is also needed to produce this thing.

Fortunately, the dozen or so air compressors purchased by Ergou and Monkey have not yet been put into use and are just right for building a chocolate production line.

The production line was built personally by Professor Zheng and his students, while He Daqing provided some theoretical knowledge.

After nearly a month of hard work, the chocolate production line was finally completed.

The Red Star Winery underwent another expansion and became a large factory with more than 3,500 employees.

With this number of people, it is already considered a top-notch large factory in Beijing.

He Daqing immediately organized the workers and started producing chocolate with full effort.

According to conservative estimates, the chocolate production is no less than five tons a day.

As long as there is enough cottonseed oil, working in two shifts, it is no problem to produce ten tons a day.

But He Daqing obviously would not do such a thing. If the quantity is too large, it will affect the price.

If we calculate the wholesale price for a pound of chocolate, selling it to the Russians for 200 rubles is not too much, right?

One ton weighs 2,000 kilograms, and producing five tons of chocolate every day weighs 10,000 kilograms.

Ten thousand jin, 200 rubles per jin, that's two million rubles.

The chocolate alone can sell for 60 million rubles a month, which is an unimaginable profit.

But it remains a question whether the Russians can digest so much chocolate.

It is impossible to lower the price. Chocolate is still a luxury item in the market now, and we cannot make the price of chocolate very cheap.

With this conversion, the chocolate alone can pay off the Russians' debt of nearly 700 million rubles a year.

This is the theoretical price, but how much the Russians can absorb remains a question.

Add to that Flame Vodka, candy, and soda, and it should be possible to offset several hundred million in debt a year.

By this calculation, the foreign debt that China owes to the Russians is not that much. With the capacity of the Red Star Winery alone, it will be able to pay back most of it in a few years.

It turns out that technology is the primary productive force.

Don’t Western white people like marketing and creating some inexplicable luxury goods?

They like to market some unique things at sky-high prices.

It just so happens that whatever they market in the future, I, He Daqing, will fake it.

Chocolate is expensive, and coffee doesn’t seem to be cheap either.

Thinking of this, He Daqing even laughed out loud.

Oh, and let’s have Coke too.

He Daqing immediately called Zhu Dabiao, Xu Damao, Wang Ergou and Hou Erleng over.

"Ergou, Monkey, the air compressor you purchased last time was a great contribution to the factory!

I have always been clear about rewards and punishments. Take these two Huazi and smoke them.

This time, a new task is assigned to you four. Go to Hui Province and purchase air compressors for me.

Xu Damao, you should learn more from Ergou and Monkey. Cheating and deceiving is also your strong point.

Zhu Dabiao, the road is not safe, you are responsible for their safety.

If there is anything wrong, I allow you to shoot first, and I, He Daqing, will take care of all the consequences..."
