Chapter 456: Big Contract
The barge itself has no self-propelled capacity and needs to be towed by a tug or pusher. It is characterized by simple equipment, shallow draft and large cargo capacity. Barges are generally non-motorized vessels, which form a barge fleet with tugboats or pushing boats, which can sail in narrow waterways and shallow waterways, and can be grouped at any time according to the requirements of cargo transportation, which is suitable for cargo transportation between inland ports.
From Xingyuan County to Songgang City, thousands of kilometers of high-quality Songjiang waterway resources have always been valued by Liu Feng. The navigable mileage of Songjiang is 1447 kilometers, Qi City, Baishan can be navigated steam ships, Jiangbin City can be navigable 1,000 tons of river ships, tributaries and some river sections can be navigable wooden boats, the navigation period is from mid-April to early November.
The abundant products and developed industrial and agricultural production in the Songjiang basin have promoted the development of water transportation in Songjiang, and the transportation business is very busy, especially in the main stream of Songjiang. It is the main water transport artery in the Kanto region, and the freight volume accounts for about 95% of the Longjiang River system. The main materials transported are timber, grain, building materials, coal, steel and its products, daily necessities, etc.
The main ports of Songjiang include Jiangbin City, Tongxing City, Qi City, Baishan City, etc., among which Jiangbin City and Tongxing City are the most important, all of which are equipped with night sailing and mechanized loading and unloading equipment. Jiangbin City is a transit port for railway and water transportation, and the port conditions are relatively good, and ships can still enter the port with full load during the dry season. Due to the influence of the distribution of rivers, the role of the riverside port is mainly limited to the Kanto region.
With such a high-quality waterway not to use, Liu Feng will really look down on himself, he believes that with the barge fleet, the blueprint he drew when he was in Songgang City will become a reality step by step, and it is no longer just a blueprint!
The Russian Far East is rich in all kinds of resources, the territory is vast, and the reserves of important resources such as forests, fresh water, oil, and natural gas are very rich, but due to the lack of labor in Russia and the poor investment environment, they are basically in a state of unexploitation.
This huge complementarity of advantages, coupled with its innate geographical location, determines that if the region wants to embark on the fast track of economic development, it will inevitably choose to carry out in-depth economic and trade cooperation and exchanges with East Asian countries, especially China.
Liu Feng doesn't want to make a wedding dress for others, he wants to use this place as his energy base and raw material base. Since this idea has been made, a smooth traffic environment is necessary. If there are no good transportation conditions, how can the resources here be fully utilized in the hinterland?
Just like the current Jingjiang District, those two automobile companies are monsters that eat steel and swallow iron, and now they are all steel consumed by long-distance transportation from the Guannai, and the transportation cost remains high. This made Liu Feng very heartbroken, if the purchase of primary steel products from Russia and the arrival of Jingjiang District through cheap water transportation channels, it would inevitably play a great role in promoting the economic construction of Jingjiang District.
Of course, not only steel, but also the rich forestry resources of the Khabarovsk region, and the world's fishery production are all salivating for Liu. But obviously, the current Russia seems to be very taboo against China, yes, it is a taboo!
What Russians are taboo about is the so-called Orientalization, which refers to Siberia and the Far East, which will inevitably face in the future economic and social development, the increasingly frequent economic and political ties with Asian countries, and the resulting more contacts and exchanges with Eastern civilizations.
In the long run, this kind of economic and cultural exchange will enable Siberia and the Far East to gradually integrate with East Asia economically and culturally. This is another development that the Russian central government does not want to see, like the word "**" mentioned from time to time in some newspapers of the Russians.
To put it bluntly, in fact, it is the best son who is a thief, the Far East was originally the territory of China, and there are still many Chinese people living here so far. They fear that one day the Chinese will regain their dominance here and become the de facto masters of the place.
It is precisely because of this that Liu Feng asked Xi Jie and Wu Meng to find these second ancestors in Moscow to help with this cooperation. Without the influence of these people, Liu Feng is really not sure how much he will gain from this trip to Khabarovsk Oblast.
Now it seems that there is really no labor, no, with these greedy second ancestors, many difficult problems have been solved very smoothly. It's just that Liu Feng has been worrying about one problem, that is, the security of investment in the Khabarovsk region, this country and this nation are not so trustworthy.
The third contract is for the acquisition of the paper mill in the Khabarovsk region and the investment in the expansion of the integrated pulp and paper project. For such a resource-consuming enterprise, Liu Feng definitely does not want to build in Huaxia, the acquisition of enterprises is not only to shorten the production cycle, but also to use the existing human resources.
Liu Feng finally decided that the Kremlin Trading Company would take the lead and the Dafeng Xingyuan Industrial Development Corporation would not intervene in all investment projects in the Barovsk region. This also includes: oil exploration and exploitation in the Verkhniy Echensk and Olikhovom mining areas; construction of cement plants in the Nilanok limestone mining area and the Sokjiukansk vanadium area; The Urgai thermal power plant was built in the Verkhniy Burensky district.
These projects all have one thing in common, they are all resource-consuming enterprises, and they are all at the bottom of the industrial chain. At the same time, these enterprises have signed a supply contract with Dafeng Xingyuan Industrial Development Corporation, and their products will be sold to Dafeng Xingyuan Industrial Development Corporation on a priority basis.
It's a win-win deal, and it's a wonderful thing for those Nisezu to have an order for a product before the factory is built. For Liu Feng, the above enterprises produce products with very low added value and great energy and resource consumption, and even if they are imported, they are also cheap.
The fourth contract is for the construction of a 400-5 million watt natural gas power plant in Xingyuan County in cooperation with the Khabarovsk Region, which will be officially implemented after the signing of the oil and gas export project.
Liu Feng was fed up with the lack of electricity in Xingyuan County, and when he was taking a shower that day, there was a sudden power outage. As a result, Liu took a cold shower in Xingyuan County in early winter, and almost caught a cold!
The Urgay Thermal Power Plant was built in Verkhniy Burensky District, and all the electricity resources produced will be exported to Hung Yen Province. This agreement will be signed by Xu Jia and the Khabarovsk Oblast Government afterwards, I believe that this win-win agreement will definitely not have any problems, not to mention those second ancestors!
The fifth contract is to set up a Sino-Russian timber processing and wholesale market project in Xingyuan County, and the biggest headache for Secretary Liu at the moment is the lack of people! Thinking that there are only 70,000 people in Xingyuan County, of which 60% are agricultural, Liu Feng, a farmer, has seen it.
Those landlords and lords, one by one, are really consistent with Liu's original ideals, and the wife and children are hot on the kang! Trying to get these people out of the ditches and to work in the city is even more difficult than climbing to the sky.
Therefore, in the future, the passenger and cargo transport fleet will also have to hire crews from other places, and Liu Feng has had a headache for several days. What companies are the most popular, but have the fewest office staff? The market, of course! This Sino-Russian wood processing and wholesale market is truly at both ends!
In this market, the supplier will be the forest industry enterprise of the Khabarovsk region, and the purchaser will be all the counties and cities along the Songjiang waterway. The previously purchased tracked amphibious snow vehicles will become the main force for hauling timber on the Songjiang waterway in winter.
Just this project, Liu Feng believes that Xingyuan County will definitely not hibernate this winter! This is a project that can be operated all year round, and the port of Xingyuan County was opened at the beginning, and it was precisely because of the inconvenience of transportation in winter that it would operate for half a year, and now it no longer exists in this case!
Liu Feng and his entourage stayed in Khabarovsk for four days, not because the negotiations were hindered, but because they were waiting for the approval of their superiors. The Khabarovsk Territory needs the approval from above, and Liu Feng also needs the approval from above, on the contrary, those projects signed in the name of the Kremlin trading company are all passed smoothly.
Governor Xu Jia arrived on 18 November, and he was accompanied by a cadre of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation. There are four major projects before and after, and the total amount involved has exceeded one billion US dollars, which is definitely a big project for Huaxia, which is currently tight on foreign exchange.
Even the leadership of Hung Yen Province has voiced opposition, and many people cannot understand that such a huge amount of money has been invested in that small place in Hung Yuan County. Liu Feng didn't know this, but Liu Feng had always acted carefully, trying not to leave any handle in the future.
This time, Xingyuan County did not use a penny of Huaxia, let alone the money of Xing'an Province, in fact, even if Xingyuan County wanted to invest in Xing'an Province, it did not have it. This time, Liu Feng did not take the loan from China in the end, and he didn't want to tell the truth.
Don't look at Liu Feng is completely for the sake of Xingyuan County, but also for the economic construction of Xingyuan County, but I can't say when, there will be people who find fault and pick bones in the egg, and at that time Liu Feng really wanted to cry without tears.
This time, the funds were entirely international loans, and the bank of the loan was naturally the Osaka Commercial Bank, and the name of the loan was the seller's loan. All loans are made in the name of the Kremlin Trading Company and are secured by the Osaka Commercial Bank of U.S. dollars, and rubles borrowed from the Central Bank of Russia will be repaid in U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate.
Liu Feng has always been based on the principle of maximizing benefits, and since the depreciation of the ruble is still continuing, it is also logical to beat rabbits with grass and earn an exchange rate difference. Now Liu Feng is very grateful to these second ancestors from Moscow, without them, many things would not work at all.
"Old pimple, well done! It took more than a month to achieve such results, and only you, a pervert, can do it. ”
In private, Xu Jia and Liu Feng are already very casual, but the way Xu Gongzi praises people is really weird: "Hey." Brother Xu, don't run on me, no matter who has the money, it's not a problem to do these things. ”
Xu Jia shook his head: "Wrong, I think that even if some people are rich, they would rather use it to buy luxury cars, use it to build buildings and halls, and use it to go abroad for investigation, rather than serve the local economic construction." ”
