Chapter 823: Big Project
"Aldridge, you don't have to be too nervous, I don't mean anything else. {}”
I have to say that this Aldeka, as a politician, does have a hand in personal charm, and after seeing Jin Xiaoqiang's face a little unhappy, he immediately called out Jin Xiaoqiang's Russian name to shorten the distance between the two.
If it weren't for Ardeka calling him like this, Jin Xiaoqiang would have almost forgotten his Russian identity, but in this way, he does feel that the distance between the two has been shortened a lot, at least it is no longer as blunt as when Aldeca called himself Mysterkin.
"Actually, there is a reason why I asked you this, we have been preparing several big projects recently."
As soon as Ardeka said this, Jin Xiaoqiang was relieved, he must have another chance to make money, but this guy is short of money in his hands.
But any foreigner doing business in Russia has to worry about some credibility problems in this country, even among their Russian natives, otherwise Abu's rich man would not have run away to England.
This country is indeed full of opportunities, but it is also full of risks, once you make a mistake, then the money you invested in the early stage will be wasted.
Jin Xiaoqiang is still very cautious about doing business with the Russians, and now he has invested billions of dollars in Russia, but now that the two joint venture factories can still provide benefits to themselves, there is only this Yukos company, which can bring huge benefits to himself.
But these returns are not enough to offset his investment in Russia, which is mainly divided into two parts, one of which is Yukos, which is mainly a cash investment. The other part is a joint venture automobile company with a focus on production lines and machine tools.
On the part of car companies. Jin Xiaoqiang is not very worried about the recovery of funds, he is most worried about his investment in Yukos. You must know that in this company, he has invested 3.4 billion dollars in the back-and-forth, which is not a small amount. But it was only this year that he saw his first return.
If Adelka still wants to invest the money in Russia at this time, then he has to consider the issue of this risk. {}
The project introduced by Adelka is good, but what if he continues to ask for additional investment?
Wouldn't the money you earn in Russia be reinvested in Russia in a steady stream? When will I be able to get my money back?
This is the biggest concern of Jin Xiaoqiang, but Adelka obviously did not notice what Jin Xiaoqiang was worried about. He began to introduce Jin Xiaoqiang to Jin Xiaoqiang in a steady stream of the big projects he had just mentioned.
"Aldridge, you know what? At the moment, the situation with Russia's electricity resources is not optimistic. ”
Adelka looked very solemn when she said this. shows an image of worrying about the country and the people. And Jin Xiaoqiang basically understood what this guy meant by this time.
This guy looks like he's trying to get his old job. It's time to go to the construction of hydropower facilities!
Jin Xiaoqiang remembers very well why he knew so well the origin of this guy who was later called by many people as the "invisible czar of the Russian economy".
He remembers very well that he was still a sling in his previous life, and one day when he was watching TV at home and was bored, he happened to see a TV program that introduced the economic development of Russia, and one of the economic interviews happened to be an exclusive interview with this Adrica.
At that time, he had just completed the construction of six large-scale new hydropower stations in Siberia and the Far East of Russia, and the completion of these hydropower stations greatly optimized the supply of electricity and energy in Russia to a large extent, and made a great contribution to Russia's economic development. …,
And he even once shouted the slogan of letting Russia's electricity supply the Celestial Empire and bringing the water of Lake Baikal to the capital of the Celestial Empire.
Of course, these are just slogans, and the introduction of Baikal water into the Celestial Empire was opposed by many environmental experts, and finally it was not resolved.
And the completion of those hydropower stations, their excess electricity, was not sold to the Celestial Empire, for various reasons, the slogans he shouted, for many reasons in that year, did not become a reality, but whether it will form a reality in the future, this is still unknown.
But this guy's guts, as well as some of his ideas, have still been recognized by many people, many people in the Celestial Empire think that he is a friend, and many Russians think that he is very good at doing economics, and his ideas are very unique and operational.
However, there are still quite a few people who think that he is a dreamer, that is, a stupid person who can only sit in the office and talk rhetorically, and there are even a considerable number of Russian chauvinists who think that he is a fool, just a traitor who will sell the country's resources, a cyst.
But in any case, during his current term of office, the vigorous construction of hydropower facilities has brought full benefits to Russia.
At present, President Putin has vigorously sorted out the domestic economy, but his term of office is coming soon, and his successor has already determined his hardcore Medvedev, after Medvedev takes office, he will still return the position to Putin and let him continue to lead Russia forward.
As a Russian politician known for his iron fist and strength, Putin is actually very dissatisfied with Russia's current economic structure, which is currently driven by oil exports, while the rest is also reflected by the export of fishery products, timber, ore and other raw materials.
As the world's second most powerful country, it can now only rely on exporting resources to develop the economy, which makes Putin very sad, he and his team have formulated a series of development plans, the purpose of which is to revitalize Russia's manufacturing industry, so that Russia can once again rely on excellent technology to become a manufacturing power.
But if we want to achieve this goal, one of the biggest challenges we face at the moment is the problem of energy supply in Russia, yes, the energy supply problem in Russia, and this so-called energy source is electricity.
According to the vision of Putin and his team, if the country's economy is to develop by leaps and bounds, and the country and society remain stable, then it is necessary to find new economic growth points.
Putin's team also took into account the conundrum of wanting to revive the manufacturing drones: the economy must grow in order to drive manufacturing growth.
In recent years, with the collapse of the former Soviet Union and the imbalance of Russia's domestic economic development, more and more Russians have begun to migrate from the economically backward Far East, as well as the bitter cold Siberia, to the European part of Russia with a developed economy and a pleasant climate.
Russia's population in the Far East, as well as in Siberia, is already declining year by year, so in order to stabilize Russia's dominance in these regions, there is also a need for remigration to these regions.
Putin and his team have drawn up a series of plans for the large-scale development of Siberia, among which life insurance is to focus on mineral exploration and development, and then start building some new cities in these areas on the basis of these industrial bases to attract population movement.
And the basis of all this is to face the crisis of power and energy.
If you want to develop Siberia, it is necessary to have enough power resources, in the former Soviet era, Siberia was known for its vast land and sparse population, and it was difficult to see a single figure within thousands of square kilometers of vast land. …,
This is very unfavorable for the Russian government, which wants to redevelop Siberia, and a series of developments such as mineral development, road transportation, and new cities are inseparable from the support of electricity.
However, at present, not to mention the vast and sparsely populated Siberia, even in the most elite European region of Russia, because of the rapid recovery of the economy and the development of cities in recent years, it will often face problems such as power supply shortages.
Therefore, if the Putin government wants to really carry out the large-scale development of the east, the first problem they need to face is to solve the domestic power supply crisis as soon as possible.
"According to the National Electricity Administration, in the next five years, if we do not build some new power facilities, then our country will become a country without electricity. At present, Russia's domestic electricity supply is 58 percent hotspots, nuclear power accounts for 20 percent, and hydropower accounts for only 22 percent of the total supply, which is a completely undesirable figure for a country rich in hydropower resources. ”
Adelka began to tell Jin Xiaoqiang some data on the Russian power situation, and Jin Xiaoqiang could only listen to it head-on.
"At present, most of China's domestic thermal power projects are concentrated in the essence of the European part, and the same is true for nuclear power projects, while in the European part of our hydropower projects, 39 percent of the national hydropower projects, 55 percent in Siberia, and only 6 percent in the Far East, this pattern is very unreasonable. During this time, I have been conducting surveys in the Siberian and Far Eastern regions, and it turned out that it is a waste of water resources where there are actually large amounts of water resources that are idle......"
The more Adrica spoke, the more passionate he became, and even a little dancing, Jin Xiaoqiang could only pretend to be attentive, but he was thinking in his heart whether to participate in the construction of these hydropower projects in Russia at this time.
