"Hehe, Brother Li, it's really a bit ......"
Jin Xiaoqiang was a little speechless and stopped, Li Yifeng on the opposite side waved his hand, and then said to Jin Xiaoqiang.
"I know, you think this steel is too little, but you have to think about it, these steels are different from ordinary steel, these are special profiles of steel, the only thing that Maozi can still do in heavy industry, I'm afraid it is their smelting technology. After these tanks dismantle some power and weapon parts, the remaining steel frames are all good materials, turn around from the new furnace, add some molten iron into it, you sell it to the ship company, people have to rush to ask for it! In the past two years, I have seen the domestic economic situation clearly, and some of the steel has risen! ”
Li Yifeng shook his head and said to Jin Xiaoqiang, obviously he has been messing with his cousin for more than a year, and Li Yifeng's vision has improved a lot.
Jin Xiaoqiang is a little crying and laughing, the domestic steel market is bullish, who doesn't know this? If you want to talk about understanding, he may have to say that the one who knows the most, his father's mining company, has made a lot of money in the past two years.
Not to mention making a lot of money last year, this year's first five months alone have already earned the total profit of last year.
And the current domestic steel prices, with the real estate market hot, will also be on the rise, the future profit margin is big, he himself is very clear.
At present, Li Yifeng and the steel refurnace of these scrap tanks mentioned by himself are profitable, but in his opinion, this financial source is a bit too fine, like chicken ribs, and it is a pity to discard it if it is tasteless.
And listen to what Li Yifeng means. These tanks are not a one-time decommissioning. 7,500 units, no matter what, they will have to be retired for several years.
Who knows when it's going to be a head? And with the growth of international steel prices in the next few years, what variables will happen to Russia, in case they also follow the price increase, won't they have to suffer a big loss?
So Jin Xiaoqiang is really not very optimistic about this business.
But listening to Li Yifeng's tone, it seems that there is more to it, so Jin Xiaoqiang decided to test it.
"Brother Li, this deal. I think there is something that needs to be done, but you also know this, these tanks can only make up a total of more than 200,000 tons of steel, which is a bit too little. You must know that now the light is our special steel smelting plant of Huayang Power. One million tons of steel are produced every year! ”
Jin Xiaoqiang threw his words here, and Li Yifeng on the other side really had a few flashes in his eyes, and then he suddenly laughed. Even the small ones are a little leaning forward and backwards, and they look out of breath.
"Hahaha, I know that your kid has a lot of appetite......"
Li Yifeng finally relieved himself, and then said to Jin Xiaoqiang, Jin Xiaoqiang looked at Li Yifeng with a smile, and then said.
"What? Brother Li. Is there a bigger deal? ”
"Hmmm! Let me tell you this, you have seen that Zmanov just now. To tell you the truth, that kid's father is the commander-in-chief of the Pacific Military District in the Russian Far East, and that kid is going crazy thinking about money now, so he pulled me in and came everywhere to find money, and he came up with the idea. In fact, what you said is also right, the 7,500 tanks, it seems like a lot, but it is not retired in the same year, it is very troublesome to get it, in fact, the Russian side is also planning to start replacing T90 tanks from next year, and the plan is to complete all the refitting before 2012, but in fact, there are a total of 10,000 tanks to be replaced, including T62, T64, T80 and other models, as well as military vehicles, and warships and so on. There's a lot of treasure in here that you wouldn't expect, and if you're interested in making this deal, I'll tell you there's quite a lot to do. ”
Li Yifeng explained to Jin Xiaoqiang.
"Huh? That's a bit interesting, Brother Li, can you tell me more about it. ”
Hearing Li Yifeng say this, Jin Xiaoqiang's interest was really hooked, so he asked Li Yifeng to arrive.
"Actually, it's nothing, in fact, the Russian military is now retiring tanks, but there are more than so many, you have to know that before this, in the era of the former Soviet Union, before the large-scale replacement of T72, Russia's main battle tank was still T62, and T64 in the world, plus some old tanks left over from World War II, these are a lot! Some were sold by the former Soviet Union, and some were leftover, and the labor cost of the former Soviet Union was not cheap at that time, and those tanks were more expensive than smelting new steel if they were recycled from scrap iron and rebuilt in the furnace, so those tanks were thrown in the tank cemetery. There are more than 3,000 of these messy tanks, armored vehicles and the like, and there are also some retired aircraft, and you know that there are more than 1,000 broken planes lying in the aircraft cemetery near Calgar in Chita State? Those are all treasures when you take them back, how many aluminum alloys do you have to provide? ”…,
As soon as Li Yifeng said this, Jin Xiaoqiang really became interested, and in the next few years, it will not only be the price of steel in the Heavenly Empire, but also the price of steel, because of the needs of large-scale construction, all kinds of resource metals will rise with it.
To be honest, Russia is not a precious aluminum, and steel, if it is taken to the Celestial Empire, it will be really profitable.
"Well, it's not that you can't think about it, but it still depends on the amount you can provide, as well as the price of these steel resources."
Jin Xiaoqiang touched his chin, and then said to Li Yifeng, if the price is right, this deal can really be considered.
"Cheng, then you wait, I'll go back tonight, and I'll go and discuss with this Zmanov to see how much he can provide you, haha, don't worry, you will definitely be indispensable, even if the amount is not much, but it is enough for you to earn." And don't worry, Xiaoqiang, there are better deals waiting for you in the future. ”
Li Yifeng bought a pass, smiled and winked at Jin Xiaoqiang, which made Jin Xiaoqiang shudder a little, and then went out of the room.
Jin Xiaoqiang had a good night's sleep, and the next morning, when he got up, he happened to see a blonde man. There was also a glamorous blonde beauty standing in the door of her room.
"You're here?"
Jin Xiaoqiang greeted the two with a smile, these two were exactly after the accident in Liumei in Germany last time. The CACI Secret Service team that was in charge of helping to rescue them.
The man is the leader of the group, Thomas, and the woman is the beautiful iceberg girl Vera, this trip to Russia, when departing, although this is Li Yifeng's land, Jin Xiaoqiang still feels a little uneasy, so he specially contacted Klaus in Germany and asked him to help connect the team and let them come over to be his bodyguard.
After all, his current identity is not the same as it was in the past. is no longer the penniless poor boy, but the boss of a large company with assets of tens of billions, who belongs to the delicate and expensive type, and there can be no mistakes.
These two years have passed through Putin's governance. The security situation in Russia is much better than before. But the police who extort and take bribes everywhere, as well as those vicious skinheads, still make Jin Xiaoqiang feel that this place is not very safe. And the Russian gangsters are well-known in the whole world, Jin Xiaoqiang doesn't want to come for a walk, and then put his life here, so it's normal to invite a few bodyguards over.
There is no suitable bodyguard company in China, even if there are some bodyguards who can do kung fu. But in Jin Xiaoqiang's opinion, he is not very professional, so he can only contact him last time. These people who are more familiar with me are invited to come over again.
It just so happened that Thomas and they had a mission in Central Asia, so after receiving Jin Xiaoqiang's invitation, they flew to Russia immediately after completing the mission in Central Asia, but fortunately they only arrived one day later than Jin Xiaoqiang.
"Hehe, hello Mysterkin, nice to meet you, how was yesterday? No surprises, right? ”
Thomas never left the bank in three sentences, because he had been in contact with Jin Xiaoqiang before, Jin Xiaoqiang left a good impression on him, he was bold and generous, and he was a rare cool boss, so he joked with him as soon as he saw Jin Xiaoqiang.
"Hehe, it's okay, it's only one night, and there won't be any accidents, when did you arrive, did you have breakfast? If you haven't eaten yet, go downstairs and eat together. ”
Jin Xiaoqiang said while quietly looking at Vera a few times, the look and posture of this iceberg beauty are still so cold, but when she looks at Jin Xiaoqiang, Jin Xiaoqiang can still feel the warmth emanating from her eyes.
"Hehe, haven't eaten yet, okay! Just go down and eat together. ”
Thomas was not polite, Jin Xiaoqiang didn't talk nonsense, the three of them went downstairs and came to the restaurant on the second floor, at this time there were already some hotel guests, and they began to come down to eat one after another, and Jin Xiaoqiang and their group were particularly conspicuous, out of the team of yellow people brought by Jin Xiaoqiang, and a group of black and white bodyguards with big shoulders and round waists and fierce faces, in short, this team looks weird.
However, it is not popular in foreign countries to peep into people's privacy, so after a few strange glances at them, the guests all went their separate ways.
After eating, Jin Xiaoqiang wanted to talk to Thomas and them and learn about their current situation, but at this time, Li Yifeng arrived, and his good friend Zmanov was still behind him. …,
Li Yifeng winked at Jin Xiaoqiang, and Jin Xiaoqiang didn't have time to talk nonsense with Thomas, so he could only lead Li Yifeng and Zmanov up to the third floor and came to the luxurious suite he opened.
A few people sat down, and then asked the secretary to serve them coffee, and that was to the point.
Zmanov said what he said first, but he spoke Russian, Jin Xiaoqiang couldn't understand it, but fortunately Li Yifeng was on the side as a translator.
"Zmanov said that if you really want that steel, he can set up a scrap metal recycling company here and buy it, and he said don't worry, if you want it, he can definitely get more."
When Jin Xiaoqiang heard this, he was stunned for a moment, this Russian guy really felt a little crazy about money. After all, he is also the son of the commander of the Russian Far East Pacific Military District, is he already so short of money?
"Well, well! Mr. Nazmanov, can you tell us how much steel you can get? ”
The business is not small, Jin Xiaoqiang is used to not doing a business, and he has to quantify it, after all, only data can reflect everything truly.
Li Yifeng translated Jin Xiaoqiang's original words, and Zmanov smiled as if he knew that Jin Xiaoqiang would ask like this, and his smile at this time really looked like a fox.
Then a barrage of Russian came out of the guy's mouth, as fast as a machine gun, and the guy became more and more excited the more he spoke, gesturing with his hands as he spoke, apparently his own plan, which moved him personally.
While listening to what Zmanov said, Li Yifeng's face also changed a lot, obviously Zmanov's words made him feel unusually surprised.
Jin Xiaoqiang listened to Li Yifeng's translation of Zmanov's words, and was also shocked by this guy, this guy is really not a brainless person, even this guy was thought of by this guy, it seems that this guy is really crazy about money, and he feels like a bit of a rag king.
This guy meant this, he motioned Jin Xiaoqiang to look farther, not just at the old tanks and planes, in the Far East, there are greater riches than this, such as those towns that have been abandoned because of the population moving back to Europe.
When he heard this, Jin Xiaoqiang was really shocked by this guy's bold plan.
The Far East has always been a major problem for Russia, and during the Tsarist and Soviet era, it was a place of exile for Russian criminals, and Russia relied on such migrants to control these regions.
In the former Soviet Union, with a large number of European prisoners of war, political prisoners exiled here, and towns built up by a planned economy, the Russian Far East flourished for a short time.
However, with the collapse of the former Soviet Union, a large number of people began to return to the economically developed European regions of Russia, so that the towns that had flourished for a period of time were abandoned.
According to statistics, Russia's population is currently showing a downward trend year after year, and in the Far East, the problem is even more serious, so far, in the Russian Far East, about 12 million square kilometers of land, there are only about 10 million Russians living in it.
Many of these people are from the Celestial Empire and North Korea or other countries, and if you don't count these people, the population of the Russian Far East is less than 10 million......
Moreover, more than 13,000 of the more than 20,000 small towns with a population of about 1,000 people established after World War II have been abandoned, and there are still 35,000 small towns with a population of less than 10 people......
There are many resources that can be used in these abandoned small cities, such as the Chita Oblast, the Amur Oblast, the Krai, and the Republic of Buryatia, which are the most economically developed regions in the Russian Far East, and there are more than 10,000 abandoned small towns.
In these abandoned small towns, there are countless reusable resources, including steel that Jin Xiaoqiang values
