Chapter 232: The Rotten the Russian Far East

Zhang Zehong is not too happy, but it is not false that he mixes like a fish in water in the Russian Far East.

Jiagu Group has had an overseas enclosure plan for a long time, and it was not officially launched until this year.

Zhang Zehong, who is honest in appearance and good at dancing with long sleeves in essence, led the elite soldiers and strong generals selected from the strategic public relations department to inspect the agricultural development market around China's neighboring countries as early as possible in accordance with the principle of proximity.

From Southeast Asia and Central Asia to the Russian Far East, I was tired enough and gained a lot.

To be honest, at the national level, it is very difficult to enter Southeast Asia, Central Asia or the Russian Far East.

Southeast Asia is like a quagmire in which many nationalities live together, and various forces are intertwined; Xinjiang Province faces much better Central Asia than Southeast Asia, and its relations with China are much better, but because it is Russia's backyard, it is not easy to get involved; as for Lao Maozi's Far East, not to mention much more.

But as a private trade, it has a lot to offer.

Personally, Zhang Zehong is not very fond of mature markets, he prefers emerging markets, such as Southeast Asia and Central Asia. Because "emerging" means that the rules are not perfect, and the imperfection of the rules means that he can get up and down.

In Southeast Asia, he tentatively started a seed business for Vietnam, and then completely opened his eyes - the relevant officials were very "enthusiastic", "enthusiastic" enough to take the initiative to ask for kickbacks, and of course, he also increased profits incidentally.

Not to mention, Vietnam's policy of benefiting farmers is better than that of China, because anyway, it is the money of the Vietnamese government, and everyone is not distressed and desperately earns it. Zhang Zehong fully saw what it means to "unite you, me and him, and everyone eats the country".

Central Asia is no slouch.

In Zhang Zehong's view, Central Asia and Southeast Asia are suitable for pioneers, not for regular players.

Because Central Asia and Southeast Asia are mostly "rogue" countries with very poor laws, the contract is torn up when it is said to be torn up. Zhang Zehong learned a sentence in the course of the inspection, whether this kind of local contract is useful, it is just paper, and the key is to look at mutual interests and get along.

But it has to be said that in such a "rogue" country, there are also too many opportunities for development.

Of course, in the end, compared with the Russian Far East, Southeast Asia and Central Asia are really insignificant.

When he first arrived in the Russian Far East, Qi Zheng asked Zhang Zehong what he thought of him, and Zhang Zehong said, "Although the Russian Far East has great potential for agricultural development, the environment is too unfriendly to foreign investment, and it is recommended that the group consider it carefully." ”

Zhang Zehong has good reason to prove this.

First of all, Russia's labor approval policy, tariffs, inspection and quarantine measures are complicated, which inhibits the rapid development of Sino-Russian agricultural cooperation.

Russia is vast and sparsely populated, and there is a shortage of local labor, but Russia has implemented a labor card control policy to curb the import of foreign labor services - this practice of restricting labor indicators has simply led to an increase in the labor cost of enterprises.

Secondly, it is quite difficult for agricultural materials to cross the border.

The yield of crop seeds in Russia is not as high as that of domestic seeds, and materials such as pesticides and fertilizers are still supplied in a planned mode, and the plan needs to be reported a quarter in advance, which is not only expensive, but also needs to be purchased in Moscow - a trip back and forth to the daylily is cold.

As for imports, they must not be allowed.

In addition, do you want to use domestic agricultural machinery? Yes. You only need to get a permit issued by Moscow, and pay a deposit, and you can only work in Russia for 2 years, if you don't return when it expires, hehe, I'm sorry, the deposit is not returned, and the mechanical work is not legal.

In addition to this, the policy of the Russian side is rather unstable.

In terms of agricultural development, Russia does not have a uniform fee standard for enterprises and relevant laws and regulations, and local governments have a large degree of freedom. So, after the change of local government, what happens in this situation? What is the previous policy? I don't care, I'm in a bad mood, so I quickly changed the policy......

Which investor can bear this Nima?

The agricultural development of the Far East is extremely weak, the cultivated land area accounts for only about 3% of the total area, the cultivated land utilization efficiency is low, and a large area is abandoned.

Under such circumstances, Russia is simply unable to realize the development and rejuvenation of the Far East and Siberia by relying on its own financial resources, so it hopes that foreign capital will enter agriculture to supplement the domestic supply of agricultural products; however, it is worried that the Far East will be "alienated" by foreign immigrants.

At this time, Lao Maozi did not have the boldness when he drank at all, in Zhang Zehong's words, Lao Maozi was probably still indulging in the mentality of the former superpowers, and from time to time he regarded foreign investment as protection money.

In short, Zhang Zehong listed one, two, three, four, and five reasons, believing that investing in agriculture in the Far East is purely idealistic, very full, and the reality is very skinny.

Qi Zheng said "I know", and then asked him to continue the investigation.

Zhang Zehong was "ordered" to lead the team to eat, drink and have fun in the Far East. As the saying goes, there is no old man who can't handle a bottle of vodka, and if there is, grab a handful of rubles from his pocket and stuff it, and there is no disadvantage.

Rich and generous, Zhang Zehong gave full play to his talent for long-sleeved dancing, and actually mixed all the way to the social circle of high-ranking officials and children of the Far Eastern Federal District.

In communication, Zhang Zehong can be regarded as seeing how greedy Lao Maozi is.

The Russian Far East, which was classified as the Far Eastern Federal District in terms of administrative divisions of Russia, and the Treaty of Nebuchu, a region that had been ceded out during the Manchu Dynasty, became the treaty that the Chinese nation was never happy with.

Lao Maozi can be said to be the most serious people in the world who want land, and we feel that the Nebuchu Treaty is unequal, and they actually feel that it is unequal.

Some drunken officials and eunuchs of the Federal District believe that the scope of activities of the Russians has penetrated into today's domestic black provinces and other places, so the correct posture should be to take the Sino-Russian border as the boundary of Shanhaiguan.

Zhang Zehong just wants to say "hehe" a few times, whatever you do, but the reality is so thin.

In fact, not to mention the Black Province, even the Russian Far East is now gradually vacuumed, and this situation now seems irreversible.

The reason is simple: young adults in the Russian Far East prefer the glitz and glamour of city life to digging in the mud in the Far East, a cold place where peeing and ice are frozen.

So the rapid loss of young people and the concentration of Eastern Europe led to a further decline in the population of the Russian Far East, and there were not enough people on farms, and the population of the Far East had begun to age.

As for these eunuchs of the Federal District, why are they still here?

Why else, make money.

Anyway, if you can make money, you can earn it, and if you can break the rules, it's best, as long as you can make money, they even dare to steal the country's oil - you are absolutely not blind, they even dare to steal oil and gas from the Sino-Russian oil pipeline and sell it for money.

As for the illegal logging of timber with foreigners, and the purchase of fishing products from the Far East with foreigners, and selling them at very low prices, it is simply not worth mentioning. They can even get a deal by handing out how many square kilometers of timber they want to give to whomever they want.

All this, of course, is illegal and absolutely not allowed by law, but ...... There's a fart.

Zhang Zehong called Qi Zheng later, "I was wrong, this place in the Russian Far East is simply too promising, come on, Jiagu doesn't have too many opportunities......"

Tsk, that's delicious!
