Chapter 509 (1/2)

Although Wuhe town is a town, it is only as big as a village. The tallest house is only two floors. It is a supply agency. However, Wuhe town has a wide dirt road leading directly to the border between China and North Korea. Occasionally, you can see passing trucks covered with green canvas. You can't see what's loaded. A group of children will run behind the cars.

The five people didn't enter Wuhe Town, but hid first by a small river outside Wuhe town. They were all fresh faces, had no certificates, and wore prison clothes. Only Qiu Dashan could speak a few Korean. If they were found, it would be too easy to cause trouble.

Chou Dashan said that if he wants to move around in North Korea, he must have documents. He originally had documents, but he was in the hands of an insider at the Sino DPRK border post. Chen Mo asked him about his relationship with the North Korean military. Qiu Dashan said that the station master was from the beggars' sect and was going to meet them in the name of relatives.

Chen Xiaotian said, ”shall we find something to eat first. I'm starving. ”

Chen Mo said, ”wait a minute. In the evening, I'll go to the town to find some clothes, otherwise we'll look too strange.”

Qiu Dashan nodded and said, ”yes. Sinuiju is 300 kilometers away from here. Although it's not far, we can't move a step now. In my opinion, it's better to find the contact person of our beggars' sect first, get some certificates and pretend to be a Chinese businessman. North Koreans are still very polite to Chinese businessmen. ”

Hu Bai frowned and asked, ”why?”

”Because North Korea is short of materials, many things come from home. In addition to accidents between the government and the government, many private people come to North Korea to do business. Private people come to North Korea to do business more generously than the government. In fact, they can't be regarded as generous. As long as North Korea's things are too cheap and some things we despise, they are regarded as treasures, especially ordinary people, If you give them a box of cigarettes, they will die of joy. Of course, the best is food. ”

”North Koreans are so poor? That's not what they say on TV. ”

”Let's say that in the factory opened by the Chinese a few years ago, the boss gave them 10 yuan a month. If the North Koreans want to enter the factory, they have to ask the relationship to go through the back door. Do you say they are poor? ”

”The labor force is so cheap, isn't it profitable to do business in North Korea?”

The five people have to wait until dark to act. Anyway, they have nothing to do. Chen Mo listens to them chatting and passing the time.

”Making money is certain, but there is no legal guarantee. Maybe one day the North Korean government will nationalize all your assets as soon as it is unhappy. Moreover, to do business here, you must go through the government. Through the government, you must have business relations with the government. They buy your things, but they don't give you the money, they don't say they don't give it, they just owe it. What can you do? The person in charge has been transferred, and the new person in charge doesn't admit it. You can't do anything. ”

Chen Xiaotian said, ”isn't this a scoundrel?”

Qiu Dashan smiled and said, ”it's not that they don't want to give, but they really don't have money to give. The key is that North Koreans are not easy to deal with. There is a saying that they are poor and horizontal. Other countries make every effort to develop their economy, and the whole people of North Korea work hard to train their muscles. For example, even North Korean children count. One grenade plus one grenade is equal to two grenades. Can you provoke such a country? ”

Chen Xiaotian sneered and said, ”what you said is too exaggerated.”

”It's no exaggeration. If you dare to speak ill of the North Korean leader in the street, you are sure to be killed. Generally speaking, North Korea is still poor. How poor is it? If you have 500 yuan now, I can assure you that you can choose any girl you like in Wuhe town. I promise she will be your wife. No way, the North Korean economy is basically at the level of the disintegration of the Soviet Union, and there is still some retrogression in many aspects. In the mid-1990s, a great famine in North Korea killed more than 2 million people, which is equivalent to almost one in every 10 North Koreans was starved to death. Can you imagine? ”

Chen Xiaotian smiled and said, ”isn't it the same in North Korea except that there are fat people in Lao Jin's family?”

Qiu Dashan smiled and said, ”in short, North Korea is a country with both opportunities and risks. Seize the opportunity and you can get rich overnight, but it may also make you work hard for decades and return to the pre liberation period.”

Chen Mo interrupted and asked, ”what industry does the beggars' sect run in North Korea?”

Qiu Dashan said vaguely, ”there are many industries involved, mainly bartering.”

Hu Bai said hurriedly, ”it won't be steel?”

Qiu Dashan was stunned, but soon recovered his calm and said, ”I don't know, because I'm not responsible for this“

The expression change on Qiu Dashan's face did not escape Chen Mo's eyes. North Korea is a militaristic country, and steel is a strategic material. Now he wants to get overseas funds from Xue Ziqian. What does that mean?

Moreover, why should the alliance take such a large sum of money? There is a country with such high risk. It is so difficult for people to withdraw money. A large amount of astronomical figures, North Korea will let you withdraw the money? How nice to have Swiss bank!

The more Chen Mo thought about the irrationality, the more complicated he felt.

Seeing that Hu Bai also bowed his head and meditated, Chen Mo asked, ”Lao Hu, what are you thinking?”

Hu Bai said hurriedly, ”no, no, I'm homesick.”

Chen Mo smiled and said, ”Lao Hu, you are so dishonest. I know your details very well. You are not simple. You have embezzled more than 50 million in the army in 18 years. ”

Hu Bai was surprised and said, ”you... You...”
