663. In the country of Maozi
Maozi's land is very cheap, especially in the entire eastern region, to put it mildly, as long as you are willing to invest, the land is almost the same.
Anyway, Maozi couldn't develop the land himself, and it was deserted to stay there, with little use for anything other than logging and oil extraction. Of course, the land of Maozi has many problems itself. For example, the quality of the land is not good, and for example, the climate is not good, these are important factors restricting the development of agriculture in Maozi. There are many other reasons, such as the radical agricultural reform in the 90s of the 20th century, which turned a large amount of land into private property without compensation, the utilization rate of land has seriously declined, and the state is unable to intervene, restrict and manage agricultural production in many areas...... In short, there are a lot of questions.
But what does this have to do with Zhou Fangyuan? He only cares about his own investment.
In fact, Maozi's agriculture is not completely impossible, at least Maozi's arable land is still very large, the reason why it is necessary to import a large amount of grain from Ukraine every year, another factor is that Maozi's agriculture is an extensive operation, and the utilization rate of the land itself is seriously insufficient. Huaxia can only be said to be okay, but because of the topography, many places cannot be cultivated with large machinery. This problem is not serious in Maozi, but Maozi cannot use modern management methods well, and as a result, the grain output of the land that can be highly productive cannot be increased.
Distant Agriculture Pioneer has sent a delegation of 10 million Maozi to visit Maozi Country, and has contacted Maozi's Ministry of Foreign Affairs in advance, indicating that Distant Agriculture wants to invest.
Of course, Mao Zi was very happy, and sent a deputy minister to receive this non-governmental delegation, which is already a very high standard. That's the deputy minister of the main government department of the state, and the ordinary people can't see it. The fundamental reason why this small delegation was able to meet such officials was that the development of the Yuanfang Group itself was too rapid, and now it has attracted the attention of the European media after being reported by the media in the United States. After the European media reported on it, these European countries learned that Huaxia had a new consortium that invested globally, and now has a very strong power on the Internet, and it is also a very famous large company in Huaxia.
And a very important foothold of this large company is agriculture, Maozi himself knows the problems of his own agriculture, so now Yuanfang Group has come with investment intentions, and it is clear that it is ready to invest a lot of money, Maozi is of course happy. Therefore, such a high standard was used as an exception, which frightened the small delegation at that time.
The person who led the delegation was named Zhao Wen, who was recruited by Zhou Fangyuan through their little-known recruitment network, although she was a woman, she was very capable. At first, he was the deputy general manager of Jinbolo, but because he did a very good job, he was transferred to the agricultural company, and now he is the general manager of the agricultural company. This time, she personally led the team, and she must talk about the land investment. Zhou Fangyuan is the second batch of people to arrive, if Zhao Wen can talk well, Zhou Fangyuan will appear as the chairman of Yuanfang Group. On the contrary, he will appear as an ordinary person, come to Mao Ziguo and go back after a pure play.
In fact, there are many places where Yuanfang Group can invest, Australia can invest, Brazil can invest, but as long as there is a large amount of land, the country implements private ownership of land, and there is no too strong rejection of China, Yuanfang Group can invest. The choice of Maozi, on the one hand, is that Maozi's attitude towards Huaxia is the best, on the other hand, because Maozi is the closest to Huaxia, and there is another point, that is, Maozi's land is cheap enough, which is really equivalent to almost one-third of the domestic land, which is really cheap.
With such good conditions, Mao Ziguo is not the first choice, then there is really a problem.
And considering Maozi's national conditions, Zhou Fangyuan hopes to be able to place the location of the first investment in the West Siberian Plain. The largest plain in Asia and the third largest in the world has enough land to cultivate. However, the agricultural development here is extremely backward, which is completely inconsistent with the identity of its three major plains, and even less in the interests of Maoziguo. After all, in addition to the resources under the land, the agricultural output above the land is also urgently needed by Maozi.
However, as long as you know Maozi's economy, you will know that Maozi's current economy has long been on the verge of collapse, and has been supported by minerals and forests, and other industries are very sluggish, which is completely inconsistent with its status as a big country.
Even in some fields, such as natural resource harvesting, oil, and forests, this is the biggest source of income for Maozi now, right? It is enough to see the current destitude and embarrassment of this country, if it were not for the various legacies left by that huge alliance back then, otherwise such a big Maozi country, such a terrifying resource reserve, but weak and weak development methods, and gradually weakening national strength...... It will inevitably become the target of other major global powers.
When Zhao Wen led the delegation and the leaders of Maozi's relevant departments, as well as the local governments and landowners below, began to negotiate, Zhou Fangyuan also came to Maoziguo. Of course, his purpose is to sign a land contract agreement, but it is still in the negotiation stage, and Zhao Wen has full authority to represent him, and he is happy to relax. The scope of land contracting, roughly selected Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Region, which is located in the central part of Western Siberia, is considered a relatively good land situation, and the autonomous region has backward agricultural development. Agricultural output accounts for 0.2 percent of the country's total, of which crop farming accounts for 0.2 percent and animal husbandry accounts for 0.2 percent. Agricultural production is dominated by traditional fisheries, deer breeding, hunting, fur and animal husbandry. There are 720 production units of rural households, with an average agricultural land of 68 hectares.
There is a lot of idle and abandoned land, which is almost unimaginable.
So the goal of the Yuanfang Group is here, the climate here is actually good, although the winter is very cold, but the temperature in the summer is okay.
While the delegation was negotiating, Zhou Fangyuan led the tour guide and two bodyguards to start his tour.
Although Mao Ziguo is not good in all aspects, there is one thing that is better, that is, the natural features are well maintained.
Zhou Fangyuan took his "entourage" and wandered around this place for several days, saw a lot of very primitive natural features, and took a lot of photos, preparing to go back to his parents. They always like to go to Europe, to France, to the United Kingdom, and they have not been to Mao Ziguo before, so they bring back the photos themselves and let them see if they are interested. If you are interested, you can come here to play, the environment here is really good.
It's time to be out in the wilderness during the day, and it's time to take a stroll around the city at night.
Maozi's city doesn't really have much to offer, except for a large number of buildings with their own characteristics, just a variety of bars.
Maozi's love of drinking is known to people all over the world, probably because of the climate here, which requires a lot of alcohol to ensure the body's heat and vitality. Passed down from generation to generation, even if today's Maozi don't need to drink alcohol to maintain body calories, their love and acceptance of wine in their genes have become very high, so there is nothing wrong with Maozi still loves to drink.
Since I came to Mao Ziguo, it would be too much of a failure not to go to the bar to see the wine.
Zhou Fangyuan is not worried about his own safety, not to mention that he has bodyguards, even if there are no bodyguards, Maozi is not all hooligans, most Maozi is still good, even if he drinks and makes trouble, he will not look for him as a foreign face.
The place I visited today is a small town called Nilgen, a very small town, but because there is a nice lake around, the scenery is quite beautiful. After a day of shopping, Zhou Fangyuan was also a little tired, and after finding a hotel in the town to stay, he turned around and entered the most famous bar in the town.
The bar is not big and there are not many people, but the atmosphere is nice and lively, and everyone is talking about various things.
Zhou Fangyuan couldn't understand Russian, but fortunately he had an interpreter, so he could probably know what these people were discussing.
What to discuss?
It's very simple, let's talk about the distant group.
A consortium from Huaxia wants to invest a lot of land in Maozi country, but this news is nothing in Maozi across the country, and even the mainstream media can't get up. But in this area, this is big news, there are not many people here, development is slow, and the living standards of the people can only be said to be average. Now a large consortium from abroad suddenly wants to invest in the land here, which makes the people here mixed with mixed feelings.
Happily, their land is suddenly valued, and if this big conglomerate really wants to invest heavily in agriculture here, their lives will also improve. But the worry is that they don't know if they will lose their land completely. Since the privatization of land, land has become an important asset for many people to live on and pass down from generation to generation, and they are not sure whether the other party is simply investing or wants to buy the land outright. If it's an investment, of course they're welcome, but if it's a buy, they can't accept it.
Regardless of whether the yield of land is high or not, it is an income after all, and it is a very important income. Once this source of income is gone, even if you give more money, it is useless, Mao Zi obviously understands the truth of "sitting on the mountain and eating empty".
"We can't sell our land, land is the most important thing, it's our life and blood, and it must not be sold!"
Someone shouted.
But there are also people who retort, "The land is essentially state, and the state will not allow the land to be sold to foreign companies, which is equivalent to selling its own land, and the government is not so stupid!"
"They're not stupid? If they're not stupid, why are we like this? Life is so difficult, it's the responsibility of the government. ”
"Don't quarrel, don't quarrel, it's useless for you to quarrel, it's negotiating now, wait for the results of the negotiation to come out. ”
"Anyway, I'm ready to sell the land, and after selling the land, I will have a lot of money, and I can go to the big city to live and stay away from the countryside. ”
Everything, like everyone else in the world. Obviously, the behavior of the government and the state is beyond the control of the people, but they just like to discuss, and they feel that they can make decisions in this way.
It's a kind of self-paralysis, but people want to do it, especially after drinking.
Zhou Fangyuan sat at the bar, listening to the communication of these people through the description of the translation, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional, in fact, it is really the same for ordinary people all over the world, too high-end things have nothing to do with them, they always pay attention to their own lives. That's right, if you live yourself well first and then think about other things, you can't even live your life, and you still worry about the country all day long, then it's purely a prodigal and a model of not being hungry enough.
Zhou Fangyuan listened for a while, felt bored, drank two glasses of wine, and prepared to leave.
At this moment, he suddenly noticed a figure sitting in front of the bar not far away, he subconsciously glanced at the other party, and then, his eyes couldn't be taken away.
It was a woman, and although she was wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses, it could be seen that she was beautiful.
Of course, it is not unusual for there to be more beautiful women, but what is unusual is the figure of the other party.
The other party's figure is really good, convex and backward, plump, plump, plump is not the same as the side, the definition of plump is meat, but it is not cumbersome, it is very symmetrical and proper.
Of course, this is not the most important thing, because he is sitting in the same row, so Zhou Fangyuan can see the other party's long legs. What a pair of slender legs, Zhou Fangyuan dared to swear that if this woman stood up, she would be very tall.
He is also more than 1.8 meters tall, but he feels that his legs are not as long as the other party. always said that Maozi's beauties have a very good figure and long legs, Zhou Fangyuan has seen a lot in the past few days, but he has really never seen a beauty with such long legs. I drank two glasses of vodka today, this wine is very strong, Zhou Fangyuan has already controlled his amount of alcohol, but the strength of the wine itself is very strong, so his head is still a little dizzy. Now seeing such a big beauty, the anger in my heart can't help but be a little high, and I subconsciously got off the stool and walked towards the beauty not far away.
The bodyguards and translators who followed him subconsciously wanted to follow, but Zhou Fangyuan waved his hand and made the two bodyguards stop, and walked to the beautiful woman with only one translator.
"Is Miss alone?"
Zhou Fangyuan asked.
Then the translator immediately translated his words into Russian.
The beauty glanced at him when she heard this, but she didn't say anything.
The scene was a little awkward at one point.
Zhou Fangyuan scratched his head, he regretted his impulsiveness a little, but the person has already come, so he can't talk to him and turn away.
He looked at the translator beside him, then turned his head and spoke directly in English.
"My name is Zhou Fangyuan, I'm from Huaxia, it's a pleasure to meet you, you, um, can you speak English?"
This time there is no need for a translator to speak, Zhou Fangyuan is making a final attempt, if the other party can speak English, then he will say a few words to the other party. If the other person doesn't speak English, he will definitely turn around and leave. Of course, if the other party doesn't answer, he will also turn around and leave, anyway, it's just a small impulse under the influence of alcohol, and he can still control his emotions.
