Luo Zin felt that it was not worth taking the risk to acquire the Rhevsk Automobile Manufacturing Plant in order to make Lao Maozi relent on the land lease in Siberia. He had to bear such a high debt and ensure that the workers did not lose their jobs.

You know, there are still many people in the country who can't find a stable job. Why do you hope that when the economic crisis breaks out, you can still retain those positions for those workers, and dare to earn millions of dollars every month in the future?

, the loss is not your money!

Luo Zin has been dealing with Russians for many years. He does not deny the hospitable and friendly side of Russians, but he will never forget the tyrannical, greedy and shameless side of Russians. Therefore, for Russia, on the one hand, he actively develops the two countries

On the other hand, we must be careful about trade between the two countries. The Russian government’s policies often change from day to day. Chinese people have suffered a lot in this area. This also makes Chinese people’s investments in Russia tend to be short-term and quick. If they do not have enough strength for long-term investment,

, it was easy to be tricked to death by the old man. Luo Jin knew that Fang Mingyuan's influence in Russia was extraordinary, and the Russian local government did not dare to trick him. To trick him, the Kremlin in Moscow would have to make a decision, but

Although he knew Lao Maozi's virtue well, he was still a little worried about such a large investment.

"I know, but this matter requires a long-term perspective. This time the land is leased, the lease period will be forty-nine years. The rent has not been negotiated yet. When you go to Russia, you have to pay for the rent and how to pay it.

Let's talk about it together and try to maximize the benefits as much as possible, but we still have to be careful in areas where Russians are more sensitive and don't touch the sensitive nerves of old people. Well, by the way, there is also the matter of labor certificates for Chinese citizens to work in Russia.

, the Russian government has basically agreed that in the future, the labor certificates of Chinese used by Longjiang International Trade Group Company in Russia will be listed separately and will not be subject to the Russian government’s labor quotas." Fang Mingyuan said with a smile.

"Really?" Luo Jin was taken aback and exclaimed happily. He knew well that despite Russia's domestic labor shortage and the need to attract foreign labor, the number of labor licenses issued by the Russian government every year is limited and strictly restricted.

The number of incoming laborers and the types of work they do, and the procedures for applying for labor permits are complicated, take a long time, and charge high fees. Even so, the Russian government has continued to reduce labor quotas over the years.

The continuous reduction of labor quotas has also led to an increase in the illegal status of foreigners going to Russia to work, which has also led to the emergence of an industrial chain in Russia to sell labor status. The relevant Russian departments have turned a blind eye to this and punished those who managed it.

Suspect. Luo Zin just thought that if we want to lease a large area of ​​land in Siberia, Russia, we will definitely need to use a lot of Chinese people. It is also troublesome to apply for a labor permit, and we need to use local people, not to mention the local people who are of appropriate age.

There is not much labor force to begin with, and many Russians simply cannot meet the labor standards they require, and there are many messy requirements.

"When did Lao Maozi become so easy to talk to?" Luo Jin couldn't help but sigh.

"With green dollars, it will naturally be easier to talk." Fang Mingyuan curled his lips and said. Most of the existing shareholders of the Izhevsk Automobile Manufacturing Plant have inextricable ties with the Russian ruling party, and they have acquired it by themselves.

Izhevsk Automobile Manufacturing Plant, although they certainly won't get much advantage, they can throw away this burden that costs more than one billion rubles every month without affecting the employment of workers and triggering local protests.

They were very happy when the society was in turmoil. They naturally had to give Fang Mingyuan face when it came to leasing land for Longjiang International Trade Group Company. What's more, the Russian side also hoped to reach more economic cooperation with the Fang family and even China to help

Survive the economic crisis on your own.

Although there is xenophobia in Russian society and the wariness of China has always been strong, it depends on who you are targeting. The companies owned by the Fang family have penetrated into many fields in Russia after so many years of operation in Russia.

, especially since Fang Mingyuan is now also an important shareholder of Russia's core enterprises such as Gazprom, Novolipetok Steel Company, Yukosky Oil Company, etc. Those Russian politicians must consider using the Fang family as a target.

Let's see if it can withstand the Fang family's counterattack.

Moreover, the Fang family is not just a private capital in Russia, but has close relationships with many senior officials, including the Russian President, and has a natural relationship with the Chinese government, which is important enough to serve as a communication channel between the two governments.

, now that the United States is aggressive and NATO is about to launch its guns at the door of Russia, Russia needs the abundant funds that the Fang family can bring to ensure economic growth and social stability. So Fang Mingyuan is not worried that Lao Maozi will go crazy.

Start with your own business.

"With a forty-nine-year lease, if this is the case, we can invest more money in water conservancy and irrigation projects and plan for long-term interests." Luo Jin calmed down at this time, thinking in his mind, what a good thing it would be to have such a good thing.

It would indeed be a pity not to grasp the conditions.

"Well, it does have to be looked at from a long-term perspective. Some domestic companies and individuals rent land in Siberia, but use pesticides and fertilizers banned by the Russian government, or they do not care about the mistakes of barbaric development of the land. Longjiang International Trade Group Co., Ltd.

You can't do it. Moreover, don't think that the Russians can only rely on us to develop Siberia's agriculture. Japan and South Korea are both eyeing it." Fang Mingyuan filled the coffee cup for him and said solemnly, "Don't underestimate the Koreans and Japan.

Human determination.”

Both South Korea and Japan have small land areas and limited land suitable for agricultural cultivation. In order to protect their own agriculture, they have to set up many obstacles to prevent overseas agricultural products from entering their domestic markets. However, with the growth of population, and other countries' restrictions on the two countries

Dissatisfaction with China's failure to open its own agricultural product market is growing day by day. In order to protect their own food security, the two countries have also turned their attention to their neighboring countries separated by a sea.

As early as the 1970s, South Korea purchased land in Argentina to grow rice in order to ensure its own demand for rice. Subsequent presidents have always regarded the development of overseas food production resources as an important means to ensure their country's food security. And in

After the Russian government lifted the ban on foreign companies leasing domestic land for agricultural planting, Korean companies actively entered Siberia. Just after New Year's Day in 2009, the Korean government established an overseas development fund, including the Russian Far East Agricultural Development Fund.

It is a key project, and the Koreans come forward as a consortium with sufficient financial support. In comparison, Chinese enterprises appear to be a bit over-dispersed, and the support provided by the state is too weak. Compared with the South Korean and Japanese governments,

It’s not on the same level at all!

For example, the South Korean government will provide up to 70% of the financing required by these enterprises for overseas agricultural planting. The financing amount will be calculated based on a low annual interest rate of 2-3%, and can be owed for five years and be carried out over a ten-year period.

Repay. Such a good thing, in China, you don’t even have to think about it!

"Well, actually it was us Chinese who initiated the development of agriculture in the Far East, but after many attempts, it was the Koreans and the Japanese who were more successful." Luo Jin said with some frustration, "Korea and Japan have very strict standards for the import of agricultural products.

They are very tall and do not use pesticides and fertilizers indiscriminately, so Russians prefer them."

"This is what I hope Longjiang International Trade Group Co., Ltd. will do. In the future, not only will we do this, but we will also restrain other domestic companies from making the same mistakes that made domestic products almost disappear in Russia!

"Fang Mingyuan said. Back then, when the former Soviet Union had just disintegrated, Russia's strong demand for light industrial products led to the emergence of a large number of domestic dealers who brought domestic products to Russia for sale. Although these people opened up the Russian market, due to

The quality of the goods they brought was uneven, and some even brought counterfeit and shoddy products to Russia. As a result, the reputation of Huaxia's products was greatly damaged in Russia. At one time, many places in Russia even refused goods exported by Huaxia. If not for later

The Carrefour Group entered Russia and brought high-quality domestic products, which changed Russians' perception of the quality of Chinese products and destroyed a large market in a short period of time.

"I understand! However, I think if we are going to cause these people pain, we have to start at home." Luo Jin pondered for a moment and said, "In Russia, even if we expose their excessive use of banned pesticides, we are still shameless.

Light, and that way, it will leave the Russians with the impression that we Chinese people are fighting among themselves."

"I don't care about this. Brother Luo, you can take care of it." Fang Mingyuan waved his hands. Although the Far East belongs to Russia now, Fang Mingyuan will not forget that it belongs to China. These people are using pesticides and fertilizers indiscriminately in the country. There is no such thing in the country.

There is nothing Fang Mingyuan can do to restrain them according to the corresponding laws, but to go to the Far East and use such methods to destroy the reputation of the Chinese people is to commit suicide.

"Then can I borrow your power from Mr. Fang? In front of the leaders, your reputation is much more useful than mine." Luo Jin asked with a smile.

"Okay!" Fang Mingyuan nodded curtly, "However, Brother Luo, I also want to remind you that although I have a good relationship with the Russian high-level officials, many of the Russian government's shortcomings are also deep in their bones.

There is nothing we can do. Therefore, when developing land in Russia, we must have a good relationship with the local Russians and the Russian government, give them some sweeteners, and prevent them from causing trouble to the company. Also, the Russian government’s policies are unstable, and they often

There are some temporary policies, so companies must also be mentally prepared."

"Master Fang, as long as we really have a forty-nine-year lease, then many things will be easy to handle!" Luo Jin smiled excitedly, "You don't have to worry about gains and losses in one or two years."

"Well, it's best for you to think like this, Brother Luo. You have to remember that this is just the beginning. We have to take a long-term view and strive to turn the Far East into our new food source base. Don't covet those

A temporary gain or loss!" Fang Mingyuan said solemnly. After all, the area of ​​domestic land suitable for farming is limited, and with the development of the economy and the improvement of people's living standards, the demand for agricultural products will further increase, and the area will be further reduced.

And in recent years, the country has realized that the sequelae of reclaiming lakes for farmland and opening mountains for farmland have been too great, and similar practices have been stopped. Some areas have even begun to return farmland to lakes and farmland to forests. But in order to ensure the domestic

Food security. Over the years, the country has been continuously expanding grain production, seeking high grain yields and high reserves. It can be said that the existing cultivated land in the country has been used to its limit, which has also brought about decline in land fertility, serious pollution, and serious land desertification.

and a series of other problems, so in order to give domestic farming time to breathe, it is inevitable to turn our attention overseas.

Russia is adjacent to China, and both are currently facing pressure from the United States. Although there will be some acrimony between the two sides from time to time, on the whole, they still need to maintain a relatively good relationship and jointly share the burden imposed by European and American countries led by the United States.

They are under pressure from each other, so entering Russia to develop local agriculture will not be smooth sailing, but as long as we pay attention to some details, Fang Mingyuan believes that there will be no problems in the big picture.

More importantly, Russia is vast and sparsely populated, with a large amount of undeveloped wasteland. If even 50 or 60% of these wastelands can be utilized, it will be tantamount to rebuilding Beidacang! This is

It has an advantage that other countries cannot match in alleviating China's domestic food pressure. Moreover, Russia is connected to China by railway. Even by sea, it is in the offshore area. With the strength of the Russian Navy and Air Force and the Chinese Navy and Air Force, even in

In wartime, we can also provide escort!

Although Brazil, Argentina and other South American countries can provide sufficient food products, once the war breaks out, European and American countries can unite to completely block this sea route. By then, no matter how much food is available, it will not be transported.

What's the point of coming to China?

Moreover, in the Russian Far East, developing land faster and earlier will be tantamount to squeezing the development space of Japan and South Korea in Russia in disguise. This is also what Fang Mingyuan sees. Needless to say, Japan's attitude is already very clear.

As the United States suppresses China, it has become obvious, and the right-wing forces in Japan are becoming more and more influential. People visiting the Yasukuni Shrine and clamoring to rearm Japan are getting louder, and the friction with China is also increasing.

increase.

South Korea's economic exchanges with China have been growing rapidly in recent years, and the relationship between the two countries has become closer and closer. However, with the strange existence of North Korea, Fang Mingyuan does not know how long peace on the Korean Peninsula can last.

Secondly, South Korea is after all an important ally of the United States in Asia. In peacetime, the South Korean government can still show a certain degree of independence. But once a war breaks out between the United States and Russia or China, the Koreans... will still side with the United States after all.

of one side.

Since ancient times, China has lacked the motivation to expand externally. The central dynasty is often satisfied with the coming of foreign countries, and is not keen on expanding its territory. Otherwise, the Korean Peninsula and the Japanese Archipelago, which are very close at hand, have long been included in China's territory.

.And now, although China's national power has increased significantly in the past two decades, it has also attracted hostility from other countries. As the saying goes, people do not harm tigers, but tigers harm people's hearts. For Japan and South Korea, many

There is nothing wrong with being a little wary, but Russia, although it still has the desire to expand, has no power to do so!

Therefore, Fang Mingyuan has always believed that it is necessary to develop the economy with South Korea and develop relations between the two countries. However, in some fields that can suppress and squeeze South Korea and make Koreans unable to say anything, they must resolutely suppress and restrict them!
