Chapter 695: Field Investigation

After arriving in Mosk, Cai Ande and Ying Xiaolian didn't even find a hotel. They came directly to Li Yi's company. Li Yi booked a hotel for them. The landlord's friendship should at least be paid attention to, and this The hotel owner next to me was very familiar with Li Yi, and even the room fee was waived.

After all, Li Yi rented many rooms for a long time.

What happened after that was very simple. Li Yi took Cai Ande and Yuan Shengxing directly to the direction of the state-owned supermarket.

"The owner of the state-owned supermarket is called Joseph. He has a good relationship with me, and we can be considered friends through business contacts. As one of the largest supermarket chains in Moscow, the state-owned supermarket sounds quite impressive. In fact, it is similar to our domestic supermarket. Supermarket chains are simply incomparable..."

"At least since the disintegration of Big Brother, there is no comparison."

Hearing this, Yuan Shengxing nodded and said:

"I know about this. It's indeed similar. Although I have never been to Mosk, I have many friends in the Federation and often hear them talk about the situation here... But I didn't expect what they mentioned. It’s all a drop in the bucket!”

Li Yi sighed and said in a deep voice:

"Those of your friends are probably businessmen with high status. Even if such people are in the Federation, it is difficult to find something wrong. After all, the food they eat and the place they live are all high-end. I want to show you It’s not just the development potential of the market, but also some things you don’t usually see!”

Cai Ande really didn't know that the situation on Mosk's side had become like this. He had never met anyone from Mosk when he was studying abroad before, and he knew nothing about the situation here.

After arriving at the entrance of the state-owned supermarket, Li Yi took Yuan Shengxing and Cai Ande and walked in. They found that there were many people in the supermarket, but they didn't buy much. Basically, they mostly bought cans, and the rest The only ones are some foods like bread.

Although the entire supermarket is not small in scale, no matter what kind of goods it is, the price list above is somewhat confusing. The most important point is that the prices are always changing, almost one price a week, because Lu The current value of the currency is really difficult to determine, but no matter how expensive it is, they can only buy it. If they don't buy it, they will starve.

"The goods you see now are most likely brought by me from the Dragon Kingdom. The quality of the bread factory is simply hard to describe. I don't even know how to describe it. And the biggest problem is here, the bread. There is nothing we can do, the road is too far, and the shelf life of some bread will not last long..."

The bread currently on the shelves is still black bread. Although this stuff is hard and difficult to digest, at least it has a long shelf life and is very filling.

Yuan Shengxing and Cai Ande could both tell that the remaining liquor, cans, ham sausages, biscuits, etc. were printed with very clear Chinese characters and were indeed products of the Dragon Kingdom.

"Only this?

What about fruits and vegetables? "

After hearing this, Li Yi looked at Cai Ande helplessly and said:

"vegetable and fruit?

This is not a dragon country. The land here is barren, and only the rich can eat vegetables and fruits... I'm not bragging, this is a fact! "

As early as many years ago, Big Brother had begun to shift its focus from food development to heavy industry. The arms race with Europe and the United States caused everyone in the country to focus on heavy factories and workers. Their status is actually much higher than that of farmers, and they are located in the north. The land is originally very barren, so there is no other way. Everyone wants to be an apprentice in a factory, because this way they can have enough to eat. .

The consequence of underestimating the development of the food industry and agriculture is that food cannot reach the level of self-sufficiency. In fact, in the eyes of many people, this matter is caused by the arms race from beginning to end.

Although there are signs of improvement up to now, the development of agriculture is not a matter of three to five days, nor is it a matter of ten days and a half months. It is a very serious problem that they have to face for a long time. Where to start? Start developing agriculture?

How to develop?

How to solve the problem of poor land?

It is still in an exploratory stage, so during this period of time, importing a large amount of grain has become the only way for Maozi to solve the problem.

For Li Yi, this method is actually very simple. It is almost obvious. I will collect grain for you. It goes without saying that the grain reserves of the Dragon Kingdom are there, and now Li Yi is on the line with the northwest small grain king. This It is equivalent to Li Yi having enough food resources on his hands.

But there is still no solution for the problem of fruits and vegetables. If the fruits and vegetables are shipped here, even if they are not fresh, there is no way to ensure the quality!

So it is not an ordinary difficulty to eat fruits in this place.

Of course, Li Yi is not completely without a solution. He can airlift vegetables and fruits from the north of Dragon Kingdom, but this thing cannot be sold in supermarkets. The cost is simply too high!

Not to mention how much can be transported at one time, the aviation fuel cost alone is a big trouble!

Therefore, in terms of vegetables and fruits, Li Yi does not plan to get involved so soon.

Cai Ande had already walked around the supermarket several times, and could almost check the goods on the shelves with just two hands. When he returned to Li Yi and Yuan Shengxing again, he had a look of sadness on his face.

"It really opened my eyes. I will go out more often in the future. I didn't expect that people in Moscow would live in such an environment! But the people at the airport are obviously..."

Li Yi interrupted Cai Ande:

"They are all in suits and ties, and are picked up by luxury cars, right?"

Cai Ande nodded subconsciously. Yes, at least that's what he saw.

Li Yi sneered and said:

"These people are financiers, entrepreneurs, and businessmen. They are not so poor. They can eat Western food every day, Italian noodles, sirloin steaks, and coffee. They change different dishes all day long. They earn US dollars, of course they are different!"

"I have seen the poorest family. A piece of black bread has to be divided into three meals a day. A family of four can last a whole day with a small piece of bread! The money saved for many years has become like waste paper once Big Brother disintegrated! Originally, I could live a year in peace, but now it's difficult to even live for a month!"

Hearing this, Cai Ande took a deep breath, and then felt fortunate, but also felt a little stuffy in his chest.

Li Yi patted his shoulder and said nothing more.
