138 Breaking the Bank and Avoiding Disaster

"You have a solution?"

The tutor instinctively does not believe the words of a certain immortal. In his eyes, someone may be a little smart, politically sensitive and vision are also pretty good, and he also has a bit of magical luck. However, the theoretical level, whether it is Marxist theory and philosophy, or economic theory level, is not worth mentioning. There is no way for Bukharin, who has made the most achievements in the economy of the party, to do so. Can a young child who has not graduated from a university have a way?

Anyway, Lenin felt that someone might have been so smooth that he was a little lost, so he didn't mind giving someone a lesson so that he could maintain a modest and cautious attitude.

"Tell me, what are you going to do?" Lenin lit a cigarette indifferently, as if he was planning to take a little rest during this period, just to think it was a change of mind.

However, Li Xiaofeng did not dare to tell his own method directly, because it was a bit too shocking, so he had to find himself a gold medal to avoid death.

"That's right," the guy said hesitantly, "my idea may be a little immature. If I say something wrong..."

Lenin was not in the mood or time to talk nonsense to someone. He just said something and said nothing. There was no third person in this office. Besides, you kid is my confidant. Even if you said something wrong, will I still exaggerate you?

Li Xiaofeng was really afraid of this because he wanted to say that in the Bolsheviks of this era, they were simply rebellious and should be dragged out and shot for three minutes. At least he knew that Stalin would definitely do this.

"My opinion is that it is easy to get the Swedish bourgeoisie to import food for us, and it is better not to spend too much money!"

When Lenin heard this, he said angrily: "It's easy to say it's easy? Could it be that the Swedish bourgeoisie have become philanthropists!"

"How can the bourgeoisie be charitable to us?" Li Xiaofeng said flatteredly, "My personal opinion is to benefit them. As long as the interests are sufficient, the bourgeoisie dares to make a deal with the devil!"

Lenin was confused by someone. If he could move it for profit, if he had money, he would not have any idea to spend so many brain cells? He immediately became impatient and urged: "Tell me directly, don't go around in circles, how to move it for profit!"

"It's very simple!" said a fairy very cautiously. "my country is vast and has abundant natural resources, and its coal, iron, petroleum and other mining resources are among the best in the world..."

"Slow! Slow!" Lenin immediately began to stop. He looked up and down at someone and asked suspiciously: "You don't want us to use mineral resources as collateral to the vampires in Sweden in exchange for food, right? I warn you, this is absolutely impossible!"

Li Xiaofeng curled his lips and said to himself: "Of course I know this is impossible. With your old man's urinary nature, how can the bourgeoisie take advantage of this? And even if you agree, the other bigwigs in the party cannot agree! This is definitely the rhythm of betrayal of the relatives and death. How can I not know?"

So he quickly said, "You misunderstood. How dare I open this hole? This is equivalent to giving the lifeline of our national economy and people's livelihood to the bourgeoisie. How could I do such a stupid thing?"

Lenin was only a little relieved. He was really worried about someone having this idea just now, because someone was too young and from a bourgeois family, so he was inevitably making mistakes on some major issues.

Lenin blew up the ashes and asked, "Then tell me what you can do!"

"My solution is very simple, that is, exchange resources for food!" Li Xiaofeng quickly expressed his true thoughts. "Now countries such as Britain, France, the United States and Germany are blocking us, not doing trade with us, and attempting to force us to surrender with blockade. It is undeniable that this move is indeed very poisonous, but I think it is a double-edged sword. While blocking us, they will not be able to obtain some of the resources produced by our country, and this is where we can do things!"

Li Xiaofeng said it well. Although Russia’s industrial foundation is not very good these days, its resources are too rich. Take Hammer’s success as an example. This product took advantage of the Western world blocking the Soviet Union and reselling resources and making a lot of money. And most importantly, you must see that the resources that reselled this product are still the kind of things that are not particularly profitable, such as mining asbestos, mining graphite to make pencils, etc.

With Li Xiaofeng's influence in the Bolsheviks, how could he be attracted by such a small-scale thing? If you want to do it, you have to do a transaction of mediate oil to make a lot of money. To put it simply, the Baku oil field confiscated by the Bolsheviks is one of the top large oil fields in Europe. Just mining crude oil directly exported is no worse than the oil princes in the Arab world in later generations.

"Are you talking about bartering?" Lenin asked. It was too simple and direct to the tutor's economic development. Bartering is indeed feasible, but it is not the best choice.

"Barriage is probably not particularly attractive to the bourgeoisie," Li Xiaofeng said slowly, "We must adopt hunger marketing methods. From now on, we will strictly control the export of strategic materials, severely crack down on smuggling, and ensure that countries such as Britain, France, America and Germany cannot obtain any resources from our country!"

Lenin was becoming more and more confused. In his opinion, strict control was probably a disguised self-blocking. Now that people are embargoing us, we are worried about this. If we can smuggle some food in and resolve urgent needs, will we be able to close ourselves? If we are self-blocking, wouldn’t we wait to die?

"This is not waiting for death, but artificially creating a phenomenon of shortage of materials!" Li Xiaofeng said firmly, "Only when Russia's resources and products in the international market disappear completely, then the bourgeois vampires will feel profitable. At that time, they will take the initiative to seek cooperation with us, rather than asking them to give alms!"

Lenin thought about it, but still couldn't accept this shocking proposal, because it took time to do so. Now Russia is the one that cannot stand the test of time. It's winter soon. If there is not enough food, how can we spend the winter? When the food harvest is coming in the next year, who can't stand it? Moreover, it's hard to say what the situation will be next year. If the negotiations with Germany are not going well, if the food harvest is bad next year, it's definitely going to be a damn death!

"Of course I know that time is tight, so my approach is based on the premise that the negotiations with Germany can successfully reach an agreement and end the war in the first half of next year." Li Xiaofeng spread his hands and said, "End the war with Germany, millions of troops on the front line can be demobilized immediately. Then, through land reform, if everything goes well, agricultural production next year can be greatly restored. Moreover, through the control of more than half a year, the strategy of hunger marketing can basically work. At that time, the food problem will be basically solved!"

It should be said that Li Xiaofeng is completely fooling around. It is very realistic to end the war against Germany. It can be achieved. But withdrawing from the First World War does not mean that Russia will be peaceful. The day when the foreign war ends is the beginning of the civil war. This fight lasted for two or three years. To put it bluntly, Russia's peace came far later than other participating countries in the First World War.

Therefore, it is impossible for agricultural production to recover next year, and even with the outbreak of the civil war, the damage to agricultural production will be more serious than the First World War. At that time, the state was really hungry and ate for thousands of miles!

However, why does someone fool you so much? As mentioned earlier, this is a good opportunity for him. If Russia closes its country and forms a closed market, it will benefit the most. At that time, as long as he uses grain to open the way, he will really have whatever he wants. Not to mention reselling resources, it is possible to buy oil fields or coal mines.

To put it bluntly, someone is preparing to make profits at both ends. In the international market, due to strict control, the main resources that Russia supplies in Europe have basically disappeared, and the prices will naturally rise. In the domestic market, due to famine, food has become the most important strategic material, and the prices are naturally not low. This is the difference between the two ends, so how can the profit not be large? It can be said that the conscience of a certain immortal is greatly damaged. If he is really made, it will be a model for evil to defeat justice.

The tutor pondered for a long time, sighed and asked, "You are talking about the ideal state, but we must make plans for both things. If the negotiations with Germany are not going well, or the reactionary forces in the country are unwilling to fail and launch a civil war, the situation will be completely different. In that case, the food problem will be impossible to solve at all! Even the crisis will be even more serious!"

"There is such a possibility!" Li Xiaofeng admitted directly, but he also had his own set of rhetoric: "But I must remind you that even if we do not control foreign trade, smuggling, and do nothing, the situation of food shortage will not change. Next year, if a civil war breaks out, the food crisis will still exist objectively, and there is no difference!"

Lenin frowned, and someone said this was true at all. Even if he did not control trade, the situation still remained unchanged, because Britain, France, the United States and Japan would continue to blockade until their Bolsheviks collapsed, and they could not change the overall situation by just secretly smuggling.

After a long time, Lenin nodded slightly, but he did not fully affirm someone's suggestion, but asked: "If you say, strictly control trade and crack down on smuggling, if we do this, will foreign bourgeois vampires behave in their hands? Will they rush to make a deal with us?"

"No!" Li Xiaofeng gently spitted out this word and said seriously: "It is not enough to do this alone. While strictly controlling it, we must establish an access mechanism! According to my personal ideas, at that time, any foreign merchant who hopes to trade with us must first provide a certain amount of food as a guarantee. Only merchants who provide such guarantees are qualified to trade with us!"

Lenin likes this suggestion, while attracting foreign merchants to trade, he can also pick up a large amount of food for free. This idea is too creative. However, Li Xiaofeng does not think it is anything great, nor does it take the interests of the Bolsheviks.

I can only say that the tutor took it for granted. As the first proletarian regime in history, although the Soviet land contained huge business opportunities, not all merchants dared to trade with the Soviet government.

Who made this regime hostile to the bourgeoisie and had confiscated all the bourgeois property of the country with practical actions. Is there any guarantee to make a deal with such a regime? At that time, there were many merchants with such doubts, or the absolute majority, accounting for 99% in percentage. Only Hammer, the silly and bold, dared to set foot on the Soviet territory alone to do business.

Think about it, even foreign capital cannot be invited. Isn’t it artificially setting a threshold that will keep more people out? You should know that when a large Eastern country was carrying out reform and opening up, various preferential policies were released in a pile, which attracted capital in. According to the suggestion of a certain immortal, the Soviet Union’s foreign trade would be a monopoly feast for a small group of people. And this small group of people, without thinking, was definitely a partner of a certain immortal.

It can be said that his suggestion is ill-intentioned. To put it bluntly, he is preparing to eat alone. However, the tutor is not a fool. He quickly pointed out the question in blood: "Setting such a threshold will scare the merchants who are interested in trading with us?"

A certain immortal had long been confident in this answer. He answered with confidence: "There will not be any such question at all. I will first convince the Eugen family in Sweden, the Nobel family, and the family of my father and the Victoria. With their demonstration role, with the bourgeois desire for capital and money, they will continue to flow towards us with the cheques!"

The tutor sat in his seat and thought about it carefully for a long time. He repeatedly weighed this issue. When the third cigarette butt was extinguished, he seemed to have made a decision: "Comrade Andre, your suggestions are very good. I will submit your suggestions to the Central Committee for discussion."

Li Xiaofeng then breathed a little relieved. Although the tutor did not indicate whether he agreed to this plan, he could ask him to submit the proposal to the Central Committee for discussion. That means he was very interested in this.

Li Xiaofeng was very satisfied with being able to impress him. The old saying goes - too much is too much. So he didn't dare to be too anxious, so he didn't take the iron to strike. According to his idea, today's meeting with the tutor has achieved a complete success, and it's time to flash.

However, Lenin did not intend to let someone go so early. He called a certain immortal again, "Comrade Trotsky is suggesting to the central government to strictly investigate the crime of stealing and selling state-owned assets by your father and the Victorian family. Have you ever thought about how to explain this?"

Li Xiaofeng was asked so stupidly, how else could he explain? I had already made it clear just now. The money for stealing food has supported the party. You, the elderly, can't just take the money, regardless of the guarantor, right?

Besides, I just made it very clear that if you want to engage in grain trade, you cannot do without the first person to eat crabs. I have pointed out my name. For the sake of the future, you can't deal with people now, right?

Lenin didn't know what a small abacus someone made, but this kind of abacus was useless to him. Now that he was so anxious about the problem of food, he had to take the opportunity to blackmail a piece of food.

"Your father and Victoria support for the party is indeed worthy of praise. But the credit is the mistake. It is wrong to steal and sell food, so you have to pay the price for it!"

Li Xiaofeng was a little amused and cried. He understood that the tutor was catching the toad and trying to squeeze out the platinum. If he didn't lose money today, he would not avoid disaster.

He sighed in a bad mood and asked, "What do you want to deal with them?"

"My opinion is very clear," Lenin said steadily. "Just confiscate illegal income and return the stolen food!"

OK, you are opening your mouth! Li Xiaofeng immediately took a breath and said quickly: "Most of those illegal incomes support the party's funds..."

Lenin said without any haste: "That is your contribution to the Party. Now is not the time to make contributions, but now is the time to hold accountable! Don't confuse the two things!"

Now Li Xiaofeng quit. His previous contributions were in vain and he had no benefit at all. Since that is the case, what else is there? You can search your house directly.

So this guy simply didn't give up, "Then you can handle it according to the law. Just hold the responsibility accountable!"

There is a reason why this guy is a bachelor. Victoria and his father's assets have been transferred long ago, that is, Victoria is still in China and has lost her life. If she hides abroad like someone's cheap guy early, even if the truth is really revealed, the mentor will have no choice but to do anything to her.

In fact, there is no way. If Victoria and someone’s cheap dad insist on refusing to admit it, the mentor would not be able to squeeze out a dime.

"If you directly hold someone accountable, the problem will be quite serious!" Lenin began to scare someone.

Someone replied heartlessly: "If it is serious, it is serious. Anyway, it's just being shot!"

Lenin was stunned by this, because the fact is that if someone acts like he wants money or death, then he is really helpless. So, he had to relax his tone: "What's your attitude? This is the organization saving you. Do you understand? It's no harm to accept the punishment honestly!"

Someone's head was shaken like a rattle, asking him to spit out the fat meat he had eaten. How could this be possible? There are still more places to spend money behind him! Anyway, he also knew that the tutor would not really do anything to him, it was just to scare him and squeeze more food.

"Let's do this, Comrade Andre, one thousand tons of wheat!" Lenin stretched out a finger helplessly, "You will provide one thousand tons of wheat emergency immediately, and the organization will not pursue this matter!"
