Chapter 293: Can I Open Mines Here?

The Vyshchensk port is located in the territory of the Amur region of the Siberian region of the USSR, between the Starovoy Mountains in the north and the Amur River in the south, with an area of about 360,000 square kilometers. There is the Trans-Siberian Railway, rivers leading directly to the Sea of Japan, airports and roads throughout the Amur Region.

This was originally the territory of the Chinese people, and the Chinese historian Chen Shou, if Fang Mingyuan is not mistaken, he should be the author of the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", and in his writings it is recorded that the Lulou people lived in this area; In the fifth century A.D., it was transformed here, and later formed the Bohai Kingdom, which is the country described in Huang Yi's novel "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty"; In the 11th century, it was ruled by the Liao State, and later by the Jin State established by Wanyan Aguta; After the expulsion of the Mongols, the people here submitted to the Ming Dynasty, and set up slaves to command the envoys; Later, it belonged to the Qing Dynasty.

In the 17th century, Tsarist Russia invaded the east and the Qing Dynasty had a dispute over the sovereignty of the region, and after several battles, the Treaty of Nebuchu was signed, which clearly stipulated that the region belonged to the Qing Dynasty. Later, Russia invaded the region again, and in the Treaty of Aihun the region was ceded to Tsarist Russia. These historical materials are naturally known to Fang Mingyuan, who was once obsessed with alternate historical novels. He also followed the author's characters in fantasizing about the repossession of the Siberian territories, including the Amur Region, which is extremely rich in mineral resources, and in previous lives, geographers had estimated that it could be as high as $400 billion. Four hundred billion dollars! And that's not counting the other resources on this piece of land.

There are mineral resources such as gold, silver, platinum, titanium, coal, zeolite, kaolin, rare earth elements, and even uranium and diamond. There are up to 5 billion tons of iron ore reserves and nearly 10 billion tons of coal. Water resources here account for three-quarters of the Far East's water resources. It was one of the top three gold producers in the Soviet Union, and it was heavily forested, accounting for 70 percent of the territory's area, and exported large quantities of timber to East and Southeast Asian countries every year. Whenever he thought of all this in his previous life, Fang Mingyuan would sigh incessantly.

Now, standing on this hillside, looking at the forest sea with no edge in sight in the distance, his heart is full of feelings. Although this land has been lost, he has to find a way to get the wealth of this land back.

"Are the three bosses here to play? Or are you planning to come and invest? Looking at Fang Mingyuan and the three of them standing on the hillside, looking at the vast land, Khodorkovsky asked cautiously. Today he is rich, after sending the old man Nakhimov home, Fang Mingyuan rewarded Khodorkovsky with a 100-yuan bill, which was so beautiful that he couldn't find the north. The net profit of one hundred and ten dollars is almost the income of a month or two months of his busy work, and this is only a guide for less than half a day, such a beautiful thing is like pie in the sky, which makes him unbelievable.

And the car, he has never seen such a beautiful off-road vehicle, sitting on it is indescribably comfortable, such a God of Wealth, of course, he has to stammer.

Moreover, Fang Mingyuan also gave him a task to help purchase the medals and medals of the Soviet Union, and promised that there would be a reward after the deed, which made Khodorkovsky very happy.

"What do you think?" Fang Mingyuan replied casually.

"I think the three of them are interested in investing here!" Khodorkovsky said tentatively.

"What about Weishenme?" Wu Wei was a little curious.

"I have also been a guide for many Chinese people here, and most of them, when they come to our side, are busy purchasing various things, such as coats, caviar, some souvenirs, or they are busy taking pictures here, which is like the three bosses, and it is different at first glance." Khodorkovsky laughed.

"Good fart!" Fang Mingyuan smiled and said, "Since you think we are here to invest, then tell me what you have here that is worth investing in." ”

"We've got a lot to invest in!" Khodorkovsky perked up and said, "If nothing else, our land here is fertile, and it is the most suitable place for farming in the entire Far East." I heard that there are many people and little land in Huaxia, and each person can only get a small piece of land, but when it comes to us, it is different, as long as you have money, some land can be leased and contracted, and there is no problem to build a farm. Our Amur Region is a well-known granary in the Far East! ”

Khodorkovsky's remarks are not untrue, because the agricultural conditions of the Amur Region are indeed among the best in Siberia, and although it has only 300,000 square kilometers of land, its output of grain, vegetables, fruits, dairy products, and meat accounts for nearly one-third of the Far East.

"Come here to farm?" Wu Wei couldn't help but laugh and said, "Do you think we look like farmers of the fields?" "Don't talk about farming, even if you put the grains in front of him, Wu Yanei can't recognize them all. And how much profit can farming have, with that spirit, it is better to pour a few approvals in the capital.

"So you're going to build a lumber mill here? We have a huge forest here, there are all kinds of trees, and the wood is of good quality, and I heard that even people in Southeast Asia like to use our wood for furniture. Khodorkovsky scratched his head.

Luo Jin's eyes showed a smile, he really had a little bit of this meaning, on the one hand, he wanted to increase the export of domestic light industrial products to the Soviet Union, on the other hand, he wanted to build a timber mill in Huhe County, there is nothing lacking here, and there is no shortage of wood, and it is full of old trees, exchange domestic light industrial products for logs here, and then process them into timber in Huhe County, and send them down the river to the coastal areas of the country, if there are channels, the Japanese also want it. Although Luo Jin hates the Japanese, he will not let go of the opportunity to make Japanese money.

Fang Mingyuan smiled slightly, Khodowsky seems to be a little smart, it is rare that he speaks Chinese well, he came this time, because Luo Jin is here to take care of him, so he did not bring a Russian translator, this Khodowsky may be worth cultivating.

"Khodorkovsky, do you allow foreign capital to open mines here?" Fang Mingyuan said as if nothing happened. When he was in Beijing, he asked the staff of the Soviet embassy on this issue, and the answer he received at that time was that there was a joint venture, and the Soviet side should have the majority. I just don't know if there has been any change in this place.

Khodorkovsky frowned and thought for a while: "It should not be allowed, but according to your words...... There is a ...... on it There are countermeasures, and the next ...... There is a ...... under Policy, right, right, there are countermeasures at the top, and there are policies at the bottom. ”

"There are countermeasures and policies!" Wu Wei slapped him on the back, Khodorkovsky was relatively tall, Wu Wei slapped him on the back of the head with a little effort, and said, "That's called a policy on the top, and a countermeasure on the bottom!" ”

"Hehe, hehe, your Chinese is so difficult to learn, I've been learning it for many years." Khodorkovsky was a little embarrassed.

"Well, if I want to open a coal mine, what do I need to do?" Fang Mingyuan asked casually.

"Coal mines? That's a lot of money! Khodokowsky was taken aback, although he thought that Fang Mingyuan was a rich man, but he was about to open a coal mine, which still startled him.

"Isn't it good to have more money? That will naturally recruit you and reduce your unemployed? Fang Mingyuan picked a stone and threw it into the woods under the hillside, and a few birds flew up immediately.

Khodorkovsky swallowed, his heart beating like a rabbit. This little boss really wants to mine here, right? If I can get his appreciation, even if I work as a translator in the mine in the future, my life will be much better. "You first have to go to Blagoveshchensk, which is the capital of our Amur Region, and discuss with the government department that manages the mining industry, and after getting permission, we usually take a stake in mineral resources, you take a stake in machinery and equipment, and form a joint venture, and we have to take at least 51 percent of the shares, and then we can start mining."

Fang Mingyuan nodded, this is similar to the policy of China's initial reform and opening up, I believe that with the collapse of the Soviet Union and Yeltsin's coming to power, these policy constraints will come to naught, and they will not be controlled until Putin sits firmly on the presidential throne.

"However, if the boss is willing to give some more money to those officials, they will turn a blind eye to the output in the future, and naturally the boss will get the lion's share." Khodorkovsky whispered, "If you feed the people they have stationed, it won't be a problem. Wu Wei glanced at Khodorkovsky in surprise, this kid is a Russian traitor, and he actually helps foreigners dig up the corners of their own country. But when you think about the time when the Soviet Union was just founded, there were millions of white troops, and there is nothing surprising.

"So your country does not allow private investment in the development of minerals?" Fang Mingyuan continued to ask.

"Private investment in the development of minerals? Maybe there is, but people like us don't know. "Khodorkovsky is not sure about the authenticity.

The more Luo Jin listened to it, the more frightened he became, could it be that this Fang Shao was planning to open a mine here? But when the mine is mined, who is it sold to? Nowadays, there is no shortage of coal and iron ore in China, but a large number of them are exported to Japan every year, so it is difficult to ...... Is he going to sell it to Japan?

In fact, Luo Jin really guessed correctly! Fang Mingyuan plans to transport the coal and iron ore here to Japan, and take the road of building a factory on a curve!
