Chapter 470: The Matter of Agriculture
Daming still remembers what he saw and heard about tractors on the train, so when he returned from Snow Creek Town, the first thing he did was to take a look at the company's product sales point. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Tracked tractors, the pride of the Soviet era. This is also the type of tractor originally produced in China, which is basically the various data drawings provided by Soviet experts in China, and the production of Chinese workers was completed. The female drag hand pattern on the renminbi is a symbol of that stormy era.
Whether it is the Qing Dynasty or the Soviet Union, or even the current Russian Federation, Tuva is a border area of the country, and the economy is very backward.
Today's Tuvabi has changed a lot a few years ago, and without federal financial assistance, it can develop to its current level, and I am afraid that the role of Pugachev Besika Heavy Industries is very huge.
A lot of infrastructure has been renovated in Kyzyl, a large number of buildings are being built, and the city is expanding its size. Tens of thousands of orphans collected by the Russian Federation were sent here, and the huge living and education expenses were basically contracted by the Tuvan government, although there was some resistance from the people in the parliament.
Some of the older children, who basically don't want to continue their studies, are simply sent to the factory. These children worked as apprentices to work for the masters, so some were even sent to study at a tractor factory in the Irkutsk region.
Every day, the city of Kyzyl is crowded with people, and nearly half of the population of the entire autonomous republic is concentrated in this small city.
The company's agricultural machinery sales point, a three-story building that is not high, the brother and sister came to see the situation here.
More than 20 tractors were neatly stacked, and the price of one was clearly marked at 260,000 rubles.
What is the concept of this price? That's about $10,000. They are indeed worth the price, and star fruit is the production cost of various components of this type of machinery that has been seen firsthand. From the track to the wheel, the most important parts are production-ready stamping and casting. The cost of metal raw materials is actually very low, and the war ruins in Tyumen are piled up with construction waste, and there are countless more steel bars after being extracted, and finally they are rebuilt, and many of them become various parts of tractors.
The body frame of the machine is welded after segmented casting, and various wire components are purchased in bulk.
The power core is a hundred-horsepower engine, which is purchased from the Ural Engine Plant, and the hesitation is very large, and the price they give is also very low.
The fuel consumption of these diesel engines is okay, perhaps because of the problem of the production process, after the tractor works, the oil always leaks a little more, which makes it grinding. For the time being, the company does not plan to build the engine itself, and the purchase of other factories is enough to cope with it.
Carambola sighed and patted the metal shells of these big guys, they should be even better.
In her opinion, in any case, Lao Maozi's industrial products always give people the illusion of being too practical, leading to a stupid and coarse illusion. She didn't design these tractors, so they are really angular in terms of engineering.
"Forget it, as long as it's practical, it's fine, isn't it?"
Comfort yourself that you can sell it anyway.
The owner of the point of sale is not from the company, Uncle Ivan was also a businessman who poured Chinese goods in his early years, and after making money, he did business in Tuva, buying low and selling high to make the difference. In the past, they used to buy, transport and sell agricultural products, but now they have simply switched to selling this tractor.
The two children are one of the bosses of Pugachev Besika Heavy Industries, and it is certainly a major benefit for business to have a good relationship with them personally. So Ivan was very polite and showed his account book to the brothers and sisters.
The book was handed over to Daming, and he went to the freight yard to discuss with the customer.
It's a thick ledger! Da Ming took a closer look, in addition to selling tractors, this Uncle Ivan did not give up on buying agricultural products.
"More than 30 units were sold in August, and the purchase price was 200,000 rubles, and 250,000 rubles were sold, which is the average price. But by September, even now, the price had become 260,000 rubles. ”
This is a bit puzzling.
"Stupid, now the ruble has depreciated against the dollar again. Brother, isn't the People's Bank of Tuva, where you invested, settled according to the dollar? ”
Daming scratched his head, I'm afraid that's it, the ruble has been depreciating anyway, and the businessman will increase the price for the sake of profit. From the account books, it can be seen that the ex-factory price of the company's tractors is equivalent to about 8,000 US dollars, and this Ivan earns 2,000 US dollars each.
"To be honest, I think he made a lot of money, so in August he made $60,000, which is even more profitable than he was selling potatoes." Da Ming closed the ledger and handed it to their staff. In this way, this point of sale is profitable, and he made a lot of money just by reselling, and perhaps the ex-factory price should also be increased.
After discussing with star fruit, sure enough, price increase is the last word. "I was worried that our local farmers couldn't afford it because they were poor, but judging from his sales, there was no problem."
"Let's talk about it again, let's go and see what kind of farmers are willing to buy our tractors." With that, the star fruit pulled her brother and went straight to their freight yard.
There, Ivan was seen talking to a few people. The faces of the merchants were very familiar and friendly, and they seemed to be Chinese. Curiosity drove the two to step forward and listen.
Facts have proved that it is indeed Chinese peasants who buy houses, they are very industrious, and they can rent a large area of land for a little money in Tuva, a vast and sparsely populated place, and hundreds of acres of land for a family are trivial. Because there is a special need for agricultural machinery to participate in production, these cheap tractors are the best choice.
Russians don't like to haggle, and the prices offered by merchants are very much in line with the buyers' wishes. Two hundred and sixty thousand rubles were handed over directly to Ivan, and the buyer personally sat on the tractor and drove it.
It seems that the machine is easy to control, and the star fruit is very satisfied. Even if you don't keep an eye on it yourself, there is no problem with that group of mechanical masters.
The buyer was obviously very happy, and they also noticed that there were two very kind figures standing next to the boss.
After a little conversation, the brother and sister revealed their Chinese identity.
"Are you really compatriots, do you live here too?" Carambola looked at an uncle, and he stroked his head like this, I'm afraid it can be regarded as a love for children.
It's better not to show off, star fruit pretended to be timid and nodded dumbly.
The merchant, surnamed Li Mingteng, rents land on the outskirts of Kyzyl to grow potatoes and some plastic greenhouses to grow vegetables. "Little girl, you are very cute, and if you can, I invite you to visit my farm."
Wanting to see if his company's tractors could handle the heavy task of plowing, star fruit immediately agreed. The brother and sister were invited, so in addition to being a bodyguard, Chu Hua became the father of the two. He is very happy to play this play, and the star fruit is also unambiguous, life is like a drama all depends on acting skills, this left father and father, as if it is really like that.
He definitely can't do security alone, Daming also handed over Yevlov, and the four of them came to Li Teng's "Tengfei Farm".
It is a 500-acre farm that grows mainly potatoes. Potatoes are something that if the tubers are not sterilized, they will inevitably degrade after a few generations, which is why small potatoes are produced in Siberia. It's not that you don't want to plant big guys, but you really don't have the ability to detoxify.
Li Teng brings domestic varieties, and every year he brings new seeds, so he and many of his compatriots can grow fist-sized potatoes.
The Chinese family migrated from the Republic of Khakassia to Tuva, which has more relaxed policies, more than a year ago. For this federal subject, Li Teng showed contentment. "There is no need to worry about the official exploitation of farming here, and the traffic environment has improved by leaps and bounds in recent years."
The tractor was loaded with a heavy plough, and the powerful engine drove the machine forward, and the dirt was turned over even to a foot. The area he chose was very fertile black soil, as if the entire eastern part of the Ural was full of black soil. Originally, they had strong fertility, because the latitude here was too high and the frost-free period was short, and agriculture could not develop naturally.
Winter wheat and potatoes are planted during the short frost-free period, and potatoes are the safest.
Li Teng's family, including his son and daughter-in-law, drove tractors to plough the ground for the last time after the first snowfall.
"We won't be able to grow potatoes until the winter, and we will go back to China for the Chinese New Year, so we will have to continue working in plastic greenhouses."
He is confident in his greenhouse, which is in the Republic of Khakassia, where the winters are even colder, and the land is basically farmed in greenhouses. With the use of chemical fertilizers and intensive farming, tomatoes, cucumbers, loofahs, and green beans can all flourish.
Daming still remembers his involvement in the Tuva parliament, and they are also spraying too many Chinese here. Because he himself is Chinese, the old Maozi did not say too much. There is definitely a little xenophobia, and there are more than 10,000 Chinese working and living in Tuva, which is only equal to about 300,000 now.
Saying goodbye to this hospitable farmer, the brother and sister, after returning to the company, immediately asked the factories of Badikinskaya and Listvyanka to decisively increase the price of various models of tractors. "For the time being, the price will increase by 20 percent, there is no reason, if the turnover has decreased, then return it to me."
is so decisive, Da Ming laughed at himself: "I am really a profiteer." Sister, have I become a little bad and powerful? ”
Carambola smirked. "You're a big profiteer, and you're the biggest profiteer. But there is no treachery and no business, and we are not good old people who can't just get in and out. ”
The company sells oil without stopping for a second, and the oil output has exceeded 100,000 barrels per day. Arms, especially light weapons and ammunition, are produced in large quantities and sold very well. The logistics industry that imports China's light industry products is thriving, and the products of the garment factories and hat factories in Runing are still sold first, and the products of the south's own silk enterprises are also shipped here for sale.
Daming calculated a little, with the current production capacity, the oil revenue is as high as 400 million US dollars per year, excluding taxes and various expenses, there is still 300 million. The tax on arms is very heavy, and the annual income from conventional weapons is about $300 million, and if the overhauled T72 sold well after being bought at the price of cabbage, the benefits would be even greater.
Just waiting for Lao Maozi to see the new product attack drone, the super-large thermobaric bomb that destroyed a town with one shot is already eight million dollars each, and the Russian army has currently purchased ten. Whether they will bomb Grozny or not, there is no such news yet.
The two most profitable brought huge profits, Daming was satisfied. Now that the National Day is not far away, it is indeed time to lead my sister back to China.
