Chapter 119 Agricultural Cooperation
After a business trip in Ulan-Ude, I was ready to return to Novosibirsk. Later, Bart will ship to China, and the domestic company will send an interpreter based in Manchuria to inspect the timber. I thought that Ulan-Oud would have few chances in the future, and before parting, I promised Irina that I would visit her in Irkusco in the future. It would be better if I could go to Irkusco in the summer, she said, and she took me to see Lake Baikal.
After returning to Novosibirsk, Yiqiē began to live a step-by-step life again. Under my acupuncture treatment, Mikhail's body recovered little by little, and he was finally able to walk on crutches. As a result, I suddenly became a well-known Chinese doctor. Many people come to me for medical treatment, and I will go to see people whenever I have time, which not only increases my clinical experience, but also earns some extra money. I feel a sense of accomplishment when I see patients who have been treated. Sometimes I think it's not bad to be a doctor in Russia.
At the beginning of December, Xiao Tao's blankets and our second batch of plastic flowers arrived. As last time, under Sasha's operation, the goods were paid very low customs duties. Sasha took two, one he used to sell prototypes, and he used the other to open a small shop with keys near his company, which was mainly for demonstration, but he didn't expect the business of the shop to be very good. After running around the surrounding cities, Sasha sold more than 20 key-matching machines one after another. As soon as Sasha saw that the business was very good, he organized a special team to sell key-matching machines, and we cooperated with him to deliver the goods. For the Russian market, domestic companies also have to do a factory with a key machine to design a special key machine qì and key embryo, because this business was discovered early, and we really made a lot of money. But slowly this market is saturated, some Chinese inverted masters also found this business opportunity, so they issued key machines and key embryos from China, and the result was that the price of key machines and key embryos was very low, and there were more places with keys in the city. After just over a year, Sasha and we gave up on the business.
I also went to the small shop on the edge of the market to repair the watch and distribute the key, and the owner also bought a key distribution machine that we sent over. I didn't tell him that we sent this machine. I picked up a gold-plated vintage mechanical watch in his shop, and while chatting with the owner, he said it was much easier to use the new key-dispenser. I asked about the price of the key and found that it was cheaper than before. I thought to myself, we have also done a good thing for the Russian people.
During this period, the managers and experts of domestic agricultural cooperatives and Mr. Zhang of our company came to inspect the agricultural cooperation projects. We set up a company in Novosibirsk, and Mr. Zhang came here for the first time. On the first day we arrived, we took them to a Russian dinner, and they were just as unaccustomed to Russian food as I was when I first arrived. After visiting our office and dormitory that day, we made dumplings in the dormitory to make Chinese food. Tanya came back early from buying a lot of food from the mall, and when she saw me and Danya busy in the kitchen, Mr. Zhang, who is good at cooking, and the manager of the agricultural cooperative also went over to help. While helping, Mr. Zhang joked with us, he said that the excellent young men trained by our company have all made sons-in-law in Russia. The manager of the agricultural cooperative laughed and said, "In the future, our cooperative will send a group of good guys to the Russians as sons-in-law." What do we say? I translated it to her, and she said that she must go to Luningna, because there are too many beautiful girls there who can't get married. I translated Tanya's words to Mr. Zhang and the others, and then told Lu Ningna's situation. They said that they must go to Denya's home, Lu Ning, to investigate, and if they could, they would cooperate there.
Brother Chao arranged for the delegation to be in a Siberian hotel. In the Siberian Hotel Valoka hosted a banquet for Mr. Zhang and the delegation at a very high level, and Mr. Zhang met in China and was already very familiar with Ivan. The ubiquitous Valroga has known about our agricultural cooperation project for a long time, and he has some interest in it. Varoga said he could help if we needed to unblock something. If they can in the future, they will also consider buying a farm to work with us.
In the following time, Chao Ge accompanied the delegation to meet with Yuri and the leaders of the Department of Agriculture, who said that the government of the Novosibirsk Region has given strong support to the introduction of Chinese agricultural technology and will give priority to approving some work places. Since the number of jobs for foreigners in Russia is limited each year, it is important to have the support of the regional government. Under Yuri's arrangement, the delegation visited several farms around Novosibirsk. Tanya and I took them on a tour of the Lunina's farm. The delegation was very satisfied with Luninga's conditions, and with the relationship of Tanya's father, our company finally decided to cooperate with Luninga Farm.
A cooperation agreement was signed between our company and Luninga Farm in the Department of Agriculture. The agreement is valid for ten years, and our company is responsible for contributing capital and agricultural experts, and Lunina Farm is responsible for providing land and labor. Profits are divided equally with Luninga Farm, excluding expenses. We calculated that the investment does not need to be very large, only the cost of personnel and the purchase of some equipment and materials. As long as it is a qiē shun lì, it will be calculated according to the price of vegetables here, and the return on investment will be very fast. Our company signed a cooperation agreement with the agricultural cooperative, which is responsible for sending some agricultural experts who are proficient in greenhouse technology, in fact, these agricultural experts are farmers who know greenhouse technology, but in the eyes of the Russians are real experts. For agricultural cooperatives, this is a kind of labor export without the slightest risk, which not only increases the income of the farmers there, but also makes money for the agricultural cooperatives. The manager of the agricultural cooperative said that it may also solve the problem of a group of rural singles being single. I secretly thought that Russia's policy will change at any time, and I wonder if this kind of cooperation can be done for ten years? But it will definitely solve the marriage problems of a group of single Russian women. Maybe in a few years, some Chinese-Russian mixed-race children will be born in Luningna. But think about it, we will soon be able to eat fresh vegetables grown by Chinese, and we are all very happy.
The farm lacked a Chinese interpreter, so under Yuri's Jianyi, we invited his son Andrei, who can speak Chinese, to be the interpreter of the farm in the future, and we paid Andrei three times his current salary. Seeing the people from China, the old man Anton was very excited. He said that when those agricultural experts came, he and Andre went to the farm to work as translators, and he did not need a salary, as long as he could speak Chinese every day and eat fresh vegetables grown by Chinese.
