Chapter 255: How is Gold Mine Extracted?
But now that Roman Abramovich is no longer the governor of the country and has emigrated to the United Kingdom, he is not so much a running governor as he was demoted by Moscow, and no one knows whether there is a conflict between him and the president.
"We don't know, but Mr. Abu did invest here, even if it failed. Mr. Jiang, as a good friend of China, we don't want to fool anyone, and we will not be discouraged if you really can't invest after the inspection, after all, the investment environment here is indeed the worst place in the world. No one wants to work here for a long time. “
"Thank you, the environment in Komsomolsk is really bad, but it's not bad here, our equipment can be invested directly in the construction here, and then travel hundreds of kilometers from the underground here to mine the world-famous gold here. I have a lot of confidence in our equipment. After Jiang Lang thanked him, he gave him a general description of his investment plan, he is the head of the military here, and he is responsible for guarding the easternmost territory of Russia.
Jiang Lang took a military vehicle, turned around in Anadyr, and went to the small coal mine on the mountain to take a look, this is a small open-pit coal mine, but even if it is spring now, it is still not so easy to mine, the coal produced here is the only thermal power plant in Anadyr City, the 100,000 kilowatt thermal power plant was built in 2002, which can meet the electricity needs of all people in the entire city, as well as the heating needs, after all, the entire Annadyr City is only 15,000 people, but don't compare him with the city in the impression there, here is even far less than a small town in China.
The city of Anadyr was built at the mouth of a river, and the entire central part of the Chukotsian Autonomous Region is a plateau, only the south bank can still live on this side, and the previous Komsomolsk was definitely built with human lives during the former Soviet Union. Perhaps only the Red Soviets in this world could do such a thing.
The entire Chukotsi Autonomous Region covers an area of 730,000 square kilometers, but there are only 50,000 people, yes, only so many people occupy this vast land, Anadyr is its government station, the government department is on the airport, there is no terminal here, there is only one runway, the whole city of Anadyr is only 15,000 people, there are no regular flights, the population growth is extremely slow, especially all the capital and connections have fled here.
Fishing is the main source of income here, there are several fishing boats in the port, but at this time they are all frozen on the river, every year from October to June of the following year is the freezing period, only from the end of June to the beginning of October can go out to fish, there is a fishery processing industry.
Jiang Lang checked the port, although the port is relatively new, but there are only four cranes, this is used for the fishery processing plant to load ships and transport outwards, obviously can not meet the requirements of bulk commodities such as bulk coal and crude oil, that is to say, the port must be rebuilt, fortunately, the riverbank here is quite wide, the land resources are very rich, Mr. Lieutenant Colonel even said that you can build wherever you want, no one cares about it here, and the government is just exempt from drafting an agreement and signing it.
After inspecting for a while, Jiang Lang and the lieutenant colonel returned to the airport, and after thanking each other, Jiang Lang took 50,000 US dollars in cash to pay the other party fuel and tips. Don't think that they won't take it, they don't say that they don't charge it, and Russia itself is a tipping country, and there are not many countries in the world like China that don't charge tips, although Jiang Lang doesn't go abroad too often, but he has also become accustomed to the habit of going abroad to pay tips.
The tip of $50,000 was quite cost-effective, and the lieutenant colonel asked Jiang Lang to fill up the fuel tank and enthusiastically put Jiang Lang on the plane, and then Jiang Lang's private jet rushed into the sky again after staying for more than three hours, this time going directly to Vladivostok.
Jiang Lang's plane arrived in the early morning of Vladivostok local time, and Xu Zijiao, together with Liu Guohua, commercial counselor of the embassy, and staff of the Far Eastern Federal District, went to the airport to greet Jiang Lang's arrival.
After a brief exchange of greetings at the airport, several people who came with the plane were picked up by the staff, and Jiang Lang arrived at the local hotel where Xu Zijiao and others stayed by car, but what made Jiang Lang a little dissatisfied was that this group of people actually stayed at the Lotte Hotel.
"Secretary Xu, are you not afraid of leaking secrets when you negotiate here?" Jiang Lang saw that the car was about to arrive at the door of the hotel, and couldn't help but be dissatisfied with Xu Zijiao in the car.
"Mr. Jiang, the accommodation conditions here are the best, although it is opened by Koreans, but the formal negotiations are all to the federal government to negotiate, not in the hotel, and now it has basically been negotiated, just waiting for you to make the final decision after you come back." ”
"Mr. Jiang, your vigilance is really big enough, please believe that they are just a hotel, there should not be any discs, many people from China have stayed here, and Mr. Jiang and the Koreans are not very good to cooperate?"
"I'm only familiar with the people in SK Group, and I'm not familiar with Lotte at all, and I even have some misunderstandings about them, so I basically don't choose Lotte, forget it, since I've already moved in, I won't change it yet. Jiang Lang sighed lightly and shook his head slightly, even if it is too late to change it now, Sun Guohua and they have been living for several days, even if it is leaked, it must have been leaked a long time ago.
Lotte Hotel is the only five-star hotel in the entire Vladivostok, and the others are only four-star at most.
got off the car at the hotel, Xu Zijiao led Jiang Lang to take the elevator to the presidential suite upstairs, declined the full-time housekeeper provided by the hotel, after Jiang Lang entered the house, he first took out the thermal night vision glasses and checked every corner, and the system assistant "hairball" reminded Jiang Lang that there was no problem, Jiang Lang then asked Liu Guohua, who had the same name as his employee, to sit down, and Xu Zijiao went back to the room to get a laptop and folder.
"Mr. Jiang, what are the results of this investigation?"
"It's not bad, but I have to say that the Kupol gold mine can't be built directly on the mine, it's completely inside the Arctic Circle, it's too cold, and building a new mine there is a serious problem just for the workers. The second problem is the issue of transportation, where I have more preliminary exploration reserves than Russia says.
Therefore, I still plan to build a new mine directly in Anadyr in the south, as long as the governor of Chukotsia agrees, I will invest in this mine, but the equipment is more expensive. ”
"Now they have agreed that all the minerals in the Chukotsika Autonomous Region can be exploited, but the Russian Far Eastern Federal Government requires the remaining 49% to be owned by the Chukotsika Autonomous Region 5% and Rosneft 44% to jointly invest in the resources of the region.
At the same time, the mined gold can only be smelted in Russia, and the Central Bank of Russia and the Bank of China buy it at a market price of 70% and 30%, and other coal and crude oil, Natural gas and mined metal minerals can be freely sold by the mine, and Qidong Energy operates the mine as a controlling party, but it employs no less than half of the Russian workers and enjoys Chukotsi's preferential tax policy, but Chukotsi's governor Avklinta hopes that Qidong Energy can solve local transportation problems, such as building a road and improving the education of local children.
In terms of tax payment, Afklinta and the federal government agreed to give the largest preferential policy, which is basically equivalent to about half of Qidong Energy's domestic tax revenue. “
"Sounds pretty good, do they agree on the issue of establishing new mining areas and transportation in Anadyr?" Jiang Lang is most concerned about this issue, as for the tax more and less, Jiang Lang doesn't care too much, and he doesn't pay the money he should pay, it's just that he earns more and less.
"All of us doubt this, the Kupol gold mine is in the Arctic Circle, but you built the mine in Anadyr hundreds of kilometers away, so how do you mine this gold mine? You know, Russia invited Qidong Energy to come over, hoping to help it mine the gold with the help of Qidong Energy's advanced equipment, if the gold mine is not mined, then this negotiation will become meaningless. ”
"I knew that Delmar had a device that could do that, so I had the confidence to build a new mine in Anadyr, hundreds of kilometers away. Jiang Lang chuckled, and at this time, Xu Zijiao walked over and handed Jiang Lang the results of the negotiation, and at the same time opened her laptop, ready to record some of what Jiang Lang said.
"Then it seems that you need to take a break, and we will go to the other side in the afternoon to confirm the negotiations, can you recover?" Liu Guohua also hopes that Jiang Lang can take a good rest, this time he went to check on the spot, it must be extremely hard, but dozens of people on the other side are all waiting for him, Avklinta, the governor, came to Vladivostok a week ago, just hoping to be able to confirm this huge investment with Jiang Lang, this is the first company in decades to dare to go to Chukotyi to open a mine, and even Russian companies are not happy to go to the place where birds don't to open mines, although they have huge reserves? Russia is so big that they have a place where they can mine.
"Tomorrow, I need to get some rest and sleep, and tomorrow I'll go over and explain it in detail. "New equipment, Jiang Lang did not talk about it to Sun Guohua and others, but just told them that they have confidence in the new equipment, but obviously the Russian side does not have any confidence, after all, they have never heard of this kind of equipment, even if they know that the equipment mining radius of Qidong Energy can reach 300 kilometers, but even so, it is at most to the Anad Plateau.
