"It's Romanians. They are snapping up the factories and equipment we selected."
After several days of understanding, Viktov finally knew who did it. But this result makes Viktorv feel a little difficult. Because this is in the United States, those greedy capitalists only have money in their eyes, and those who give high money will naturally sell it to them.
Although the Soviet Union purchases more in the United States than Romania, many of its purchases are for cheap factories, and the number of bankrupt factories with technological capabilities is bound to be only a few. So after being cut off by Romania, Viktov found that in industries such as aviation, steel, petrochemical, shipbuilding, and vehicle manufacturing, there were only two or three kittens left in this kind of factory.
This made Viktorv a little bit blind, after all, this kind of cheap factory was bought and disappeared. And those factories that haven't gone bankrupt unless they pay high prices. And the price of purchasing new equipment is not cheap.
Historically, a considerable share of the Soviet Union's purchases in the United States were those factories that went bankrupt. They dismantled these equipment back to China, which effectively guaranteed the industrialization of the Soviet Union. But now, as Romania is also spending money in the United States and snapping up the better factories to Romania, the only equipment left to the Soviet Union is the equipment that even Romania does not appreciate. Of course, in industries where there is no Romanian competition, Soviet procurement continues. However, the Soviet Union’s current demand for aviation, steel, petrochemical, shipbuilding, and vehicle manufacturing is equally high. This lack of procurement will inevitably affect the industrialization of the Soviet Union.
Therefore, Viktorv has no good way to do this, and can only report the problem to the country. In fact, it is not only in the United States that there is such a performance, in the United Kingdom and Germany, there are also Romanians who are snatching equipment from the Soviet Union. It's just a lot smaller than the scale of the United States. Who makes the United States the hardest hit now?
So soon news that Romania was rushing to buy Soviet equipment came back to Moscow.
"You mean Romania is in the world, and we are rushing to buy equipment?"
Hearing the news, Stalin raised his brows and said, waving his corncob pipe. "Can I understand that, without our knowledge, Romania robbed us of old factories and equipment by surprise?"
Stalin's words made Kubyshev feel his back wet. But he still replied. "It can be understood this way, Comrade General (Harmony) Book (Harmony) Records. In the case of Romania and us, the impact on the first five-year plan that is about to be completed is small, but the second five-year plan that is about to start has a greater impact. In industries such as aviation, steel, petrochemical, shipbuilding, and vehicle manufacturing, it is enough to affect our goals."
After hearing Gubyshev's words, Stalin asked quietly. "How big is the impact?"
"If we still need to complete the set goals, then we need to pay an extra US$400-400 million. This requires my country to export more food and raw materials, but at present..."
Gubyshev's words were dumb and understood as Stalin waved.
I saw the leader who controls the Soviet Union slowly said. "The additional expenditure of US$400-400 million is nothing to the great Soviet Union. The Communist Party (anti-harmony) will not shrink from difficulties. The Second Five-Year Plan must be completed with quality and quantity. This is to build a great Soviet. The inevitable choice. We want the Romanians to know that their little moves are of no use to the Soviet Union."
With Stalin's final word, the tasks of local governments at all levels under pressure have been increased a lot. Especially in Ukraine, which is rich in resources, he got the heaviest part of Stalin's gift.
While the Soviet people complained about more export tasks, in Romania, Edel was also looking at the results of the acquisition.
At present, Romania's procurement is quite smooth, and the Soviet Union was caught off guard by a sudden attack. Many factory equipment was purchased back to Romania at half price.
And Edel is negotiating with Prime Minister Karaturi to deal with these purchased equipment.
"Your government needs to pay more attention to the equipment shipped back to the country. This will greatly promote the development of Romania, and your government cannot relax."
Facing Edel's instructions, Prime Minister Karaturi did not dare to neglect, so he replied. "Your Majesty, please rest assured. Regarding these equipment, the government already has a comprehensive arrangement. Among them, the major state-owned enterprises will pick up what they need and use it to expand production. And we will deal with the rest at low prices to domestic businessmen. "
"However, your Majesty, after the expansion of domestic production capacity, we need sufficient market. At this point, the market we currently have is close to saturation, and if we want to digest its production capacity, we can only expand domestic demand and open up new markets. I don't know your majesty in this regard. , What are your considerations?"
Regarding the way out of Romanian goods, this is what Prime Minister Karatuuri is most concerned about. At present, the only external markets in Romania are the Balkans and Poland. As for Italy, Turkey, and Western Europe, Romanian products currently have a low share of domestic products. Because of the high tariffs, the prices of Romanian products have been raised and Romanian products have always been selling at low prices.
It's not that I don't want to sell at a high price, but the quality is far behind the British, French and German products. Taking the industrial cutter heads currently sold in Romania as an example, the highest quality German products can be used for one month under the same conditions, while Romania can only be used for half a month. This also leads to the current selling price of Romanian industrial cutter heads, which can only reach 40% of similar products in Germany. Because the price is high, others might as well buy German products.
The result of low-price sales is that Romanian companies make far less profits than other countries. This has also led to the fact that Romanian workers’ wages are inevitably lower than those of Britain and France and other countries, although Romanian workers’ wages are already pretty good in the Balkans.
And Karatuuri’s worries about continuing to expand production capacity come from here. At present, Romania’s traditional commodity sales countries are already saturated. What should I do if the production capacity cannot be sold after the expansion?
"Prime Minister, you don't have to worry."
The Prime Minister's worries, Edel knows naturally. But he is not too worried about this. Because this is the time to collect a wave of results.
That's right, if you want to deal with the effect of capacity expansion next, Edel has already selected the target. The friend from the Far East can help myself busy. The cheap and good-quality Romanian products are better than the Japanese ones next door. And who wouldn't be able to dump at a low price, this is the stunt of future rabbits.
