Most countries in the world have Chinatowns, but not in Russia, where the Russian government does not allow them. However, for security reasons, Chinese businessmen are still very willing to live in a group, and generally rent a building collectively.

Passing by the stall of an elderly Chinese, after chatting a few words, there are many words.

"Boys, you are much better off coming to Russia now than before...... said the old man.

"Much better......" He Zilong rolled his eyes.

"I mean, these problems are actually minor problems now......" the old man seemed to fall into a kind of memory.

In the 6th and 70s of the last century, the Soviet authorities at that time implemented a discriminatory policy against overseas Chinese, and a large number of military and police drove Chinese to the countryside or suburbs.

History has been annihilated in the passage of time, and when you think about it this way, it seems that the old man's words really have some truth.

Today, Russia is half-dead but still impossible to move towards secession, which is something that Western countries may not be able to figure out, right?

Indeed, in just 400 years, this small principality that emerged on the East European Plain expanded its territory 400-fold, becoming the world's largest territorial power with an area of 17.07 million square kilometers.

Even if the predecessor disintegrates, the successor is still amazing.

Russia's weakest time was when the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, and some people buried the red empire of the Soviet Union with their own hands, and they were full of joy that Russia, which abandoned the communist system, would be accepted by the Western world and become a member of the Western family.

However, the reality is cruel, and the purpose of the dismemberment of the USSR by Western countries is not to want a completely new Russia, but a dead Russia.

Just like some people said back then, the dead Indians are good people.

For Russia, the *** that appeared in later generations was a savior-like existence. And the existence of *** also tells all Russians a truth, that is: only hard-liner can save Russia!

In this world, there are those who hope for a second split in Russia, and even more so those who hope that Russia will continue to remain united.

He Zilong alone can definitely guarantee that China, China, does not want Russia to continue to split again.

In the 90s, the international environment facing China was still quite grim, and the encirclement of China by the capitalist countries headed by the United States never stopped for a moment, and the three island chains still lie across the Pacific Ocean, hindering China's pace of going out.

In such a situation, the security of the northern border is particularly important. In other words, we need Russia to ensure the security of the north of our country.

Under the current circumstances, although Russia has partially recovered, Russia's industrial system was completely destroyed after the collapse of the Soviet Union, and the economy of today's Russia is mainly maintained by selling resources, etc., and it is simply impossible to reproduce the glory of the Soviet Union.

Perhaps keeping it as it is is the best outcome, whether for China, Russia, or the West.

Putting aside the ugly phenomena of society, in fact, Russia is also a tolerant nation, and human nature is two-sided, there are good people and bad people, but there are times when bad people become better.

When a Chinese 40 or 50-year-old Russian girl in his 40s or 50s marries and has children, the law only depends on whether the woman is voluntary, which has long been handled in accordance with the law of rape in China. Well, bad rating!

In addition to traditionally operating Chinese restaurants, traditional Chinese medicine, and daily necessities, many Chinese have made full use of the foreign trade situation of the two countries' complementary advantages, actively explored the local market, cooperated with the local government to invest in setting up factories and entities, and engaged in deep processing of raw materials, which is an investment method encouraged and welcomed by the Russian government.

This is also allowed by the policy, otherwise it would be difficult for the relevant domestic departments to come here. When He Zilong really got these benefits and secretly helped, wasn't it the result of someone having a country and turning a blind eye?

"Long Shao, after our things are emptied to the purpose, the size of the convoy has also increased. Then you said that the driver was enough for the time being, so when we went back, what Russian products would we mainly bring back to ......China?"

"Actually, you can make money by bringing anything, but this time I'm going to bring wood back, and some medicinal herbs......" He Zilong took a sip of wine and replied with a smile.

"Timber, Chinese medicinal herbs, ...... we also have a lot of these things in China, right? It is necessary for the whole convoy, just transport this back?" Li Dajun is a novice after all.

"Hehehe, you don't understand this, our China is indeed quite large, but there are few plains, and the demand for timber is among the top three in the world. Timber grows mostly in the high mountains, and there are many people like Russia, and there are rough woods everywhere, mature and old, good quality, and cheap ......"

People who don't do timber business really don't know much about the situation in China.

If it weren't for Wang Chaofeng's reminder, and he happened to be in Moscow at the time, chatting with a timber merchant at a banquet, He Zilong would not have thought of doing this.

China is the world's largest wood processing, wood products production base and the most important wood products processing and exporter, and is also one of the largest timber buyers in the world!

In order to encourage timber imports, since 1994, China has not only implemented zero tariffs on all kinds of imported timber, but also relaxed the enterprises that operate imported timber from units that previously had the right to import timber to units with import and export rights.

Listen, 0 tariffs, preferential policies open the way.

There are more than 120 species of pine, ash, oak, elm, linden, birch and poplar in the Russian Far East, and more than 40 kinds of wood products such as solid wood furniture, blockboard, MDF and laminated timber.

In the past two years, with the reduction of timber resources in the world, especially in Southeast Asia, South America and Africa, restricting the export of logs has become a self-protection policy for countries around the world, Indonesia has banned the export of logs in South Asia, Malaysia has also banned the export of rubberwood, and the development of high-quality timber in Brazil and Africa has become the focus of attention of global environmentalists. In order to curb the trend of environmental degradation caused by the reduction of forest area, China has long implemented the forestry policy of closing mountains for afforestation.

With the rapid development of various industries, the demand for timber market will continue to grow. According to estimates, by 2020, China's timber demand may reach 800 million cubic meters, with a gap of about 200 million cubic meters. How big this market is, it's scary to think about it!!

As for some Chinese medicinal materials by the way, they are all mentioned by the Russian Kimura businessmen, because most of the forests where wood is grown will have some associated Chinese medicine, and this Russian does not pay much attention to Chinese medicine and Chinese medicine. It's almost the price of cabbage, except for well-known varieties, such as ginseng.
