Chapter 275: The Fruits of Victory and a Big Game of Chess

Don't look at the mines in the hands of Vasily and Nowell and others, but the mines will dry up one day. Look at 'Mao's line, Chinese, and net

Although the Far East is endowed with unique resources, in fact, many of them have poor mining conditions and high production costs.

The local almost hereditary official and merchant families are very close. After all, these local tyrants also fished in the Soviet era and Yeltsin era, and Putin came to power to continue to fish. So we all have historical roots and a deep revolutionary foundation, and many of the rules have been tacitly established even in the 90s. Just follow the implementation, how to divide the spoils, how to divide the money, there are rules.

Resources are frantically exploited, sold at low prices, profits are grabbed by oligarchs, and go overseas. In order to reduce the loss of funds, the Russian federal government even enacted a law this year that gray income can be legalized.

It is difficult to say whether the loss of funds has been improved, but it has become inevitable that the remaining funds will find new investment channels.

The pattern of the mining industry has been set, and there is no room for more funds, and the emergence of Jiagu can be said to be opportune.

The agricultural development of Jiagu does not affect the original interest strata, and also opens up new investment channels.

For the first time, the crony capital of the Far East discovered that land, if developed, is also a "rich mine", and it is also a "rich mine" that will not be exhausted.

Of course, if the oligarchs were to develop it themselves, it would be 100 percent impossible to do it, but isn't this the whole process of production management by collaborators? They just need to collect the land and make some connections up and down, and they can sit back and wait for the money to be collected—this can be said to be what they are best at.

In this cooperation, it was the Jiagu and Far Eastern oligarchs who benefited, and it was only Russia and the Maozi peasants at the bottom who suffered.

But who cares? The oligarchs won't care, and Jiagu won't care.

Even Moscow doesn't care too much, after all, everyone has a joint interest relationship, and occasionally they can come over to fight the autumn breeze.

The more they visited the harvest of Jiagu Farm and the more they learned about the benefits that soybeans can bring, the more enthusiastic the crony capital became. See 1 yarn 3 Chinese net

In the days that followed, from Chita Oblast, to Amur Oblast, Khabarovsk Krai, to Primorsky Krai, the crony capital of the Far East fully demonstrated "how landlords are made".

On the one hand, they continue to annex peasant land cheaply and concentrate cultivated land into patches -- what should be done with the peasants who have lost their cultivated land? There is not much else in the Far East, but there is a lot of wasteland.

On the other hand, they even reached for state-owned farms.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the level of agricultural technology in Russia declined seriously, and the grassroots agricultural technology extension system basically collapsed. Qi Zheng found that the equipment of many state-owned farms in the Far East was very outdated and incapable of cultivating large tracts of farmland, and many state-owned farms had been abandoned for many years.

It doesn't cost much money for crony capital to contract these state-owned farms and turn to cooperate with Jiagu.

Although Marubeni Trading's Akio Ota jumped up and down, he was not at all favored by the crony capital of the Far East - the loser was not qualified for in-depth cooperation.

Kaya enjoyed the fruits of his victory. By the time the first batch of soybeans from Far East farms arrived at the Heihe port for transportation back to China, the owners of five large farms had already signed contracts with Jiagu, and eight farms had entered the stage of substantive negotiations.

Marubeni Trading Co., Ltd. identified farms in the Far East for cooperative development, but none of them were available.

Market competition is so cruel. In this homogeneous competition, Jiagu has left them far behind and has been recognized by the local oligarchs.

If all farms agree on a partnership, Jiagu will be able to develop 1.8 million hectares of land in the Far East next year, three times as much as this year.

In the cooperation, the oligarchs of the Far East took shares in the land, mostly between 5155, which was about the same as Vasily's promise, and was responsible for dredging the relationship between the upper and lower levels and the export transportation of soybean cargo.

Jiagu is also invested in seeds, production management, etc., and at the same time buys all soybeans in the market.

......

Khabarovsk.

In the distance, in the wilderness, farm workers drive oversized soil preparers, behind whom fertile black soil rolls down mechanical plough blades – next year, it will be a new soybean field.

Qi Zheng and Zhang Zehong wandered through the 50,000-hectare "small" farm and watched as the abandoned land was redeveloped.

"The Far East is vast and sparsely populated, and there are still more than 100 million hectares of arable land waiting to be developed by foreign investors. To make an assumption, if Jiagu develops the Far East region into a high-quality agricultural raw material planting area, even if it is only one-tenth of it, it will have 1.5 billion mu, which is equivalent to two-thirds of the cultivated land in Hei Province. Judging from the current output value, the output value of 1.5 billion mu of soybean is more than 60 billion yuan. If deep processing is carried out, the output value can be roughly tripled, reaching nearly 200 billion yuan. Zhang Zehong said longingly.

Qi Zheng rolled his eyes: "Thinking too much." Not to mention how much of the so-called 100 million hectares of arable land in the Far East is wasteland, and how much huge investment is needed to develop it? Our expansion in the Far East is not unlimited, and when we expand to a certain scale, we will inevitably encounter greater resistance. ”

"No matter how greedy Lao Maozi is, he will not let us control most of the arable land in the Far East. I estimate that this tipping point is around 5 million hectares. ”

Zhang Zehong smiled "hehe", knowing that Qi Zheng was right.

Don't look at Lao Maozi's welcome to Jiagu now, that's because Jiagu can bring them rich benefits, and Jiagu's strength in the Far East is not as good as that of the local oligarchs.

But when the scale of Jiagu expands to a certain extent, the strength of the two sides begins to be unbalanced, and they will inevitably limit Jiagu's expansion, and even introduce other forces to balance Jiagu.

Zhang Zehong muttered, "Anyway, when we reach the restricted scale, our soybean industry in the Far East is estimated to become one of the pillar industries in the Far East, is this too much of a contribution to the Far East?"

Qi Zheng's eyes were far away: "Is it big? ”

The soybean industry is both a driving force and a shackle to the Far East.

The reason for this is that soybean farming drives the development of many industries in the surrounding area, but the impact is more vertical than horizontal. All urban infrastructure, transportation and export processing industries related to the soybean export economy can develop rapidly, but there is no significant change on the contrary.

As for the shackles......

"Soybeans are still a resource in the final analysis, and Russia can be said to be a resource and a resource to lose. ”

"Most of the soybean export revenues go into the pockets of a few oligarchs, while further strengthening the Far East's path dependence on resource exports. After all, it's easy to make money, and you can make money lying down. However, after making easy money, it is difficult to settle down like my country, break through one industry by one, and finally gradually realize industrial upgrading. ”

At the same time, through this deep trade bundling of agriculture and resources, the Far East will be used as a supply base for high-quality raw materials, and the ports of Hei Province to Russia will be directly upgraded from the traditional small border trade to the import and export and processing base of bulk agricultural raw materials, which will be exported to the whole country and the world, and the industrial structure of the Black Province will undergo great changes. ”

"You say, is this a greater contribution to our country, or is it a greater contribution to the Far East?"

Zhang Zehong was already dumbfounded, ", it turns out that we are playing such a big game of chess!"

Qi Zhengguaner "group has begun to build a special grain wharf and soybean processing plant on the Heilongjiang River in Fuyuan City on the other side, and in the future, the soybean production in the Far East will come up, and the grain will flow back in large quantities, and the waterway will be more cost-effective for large logistics. ”

Jiagu Group plans to use Khabarovsk as the base point and the newly built Fuyuan Wharf as the gateway to open up the river-sea intermodal logistics system, so that the primary and intensive processing soybean products of the million-hectare soybean base from the Far East can be sold to the domestic and southern regions and even the broader international market.

Zhang Zehong is right, this is a big game of chess.

This is a quiet penetration of the economy. The oligarchs in the Far East thought that Jiagu only wanted soybeans, and sooner or later, they would find out that what Jiagu wanted was the "colonization" of the Far East.
