"We can set up a Far East scrap metal recycling company, hire people to collect the scrap metal there, and then you can take care of the sales." ”
Zmanov's calculations are very good, he is gushing like Jin Xiaoqiang to describe the future of the beautiful scenery, as if they have cooperated successfully and developed.
Jin Xiaoqiang listened with great interest, indeed this proposal is really very good, Russia is too vast, and the recyclable resources in those abandoned towns are too rich.
In his previous life, he had seen countless photos of abandoned towns on the Internet, and indeed those towns were not too big, and some of them had many factories, but because of domestic supply and demand, as well as the flow of population, those factories had to be abandoned.
Some of the machines that are said to be in them can be used as long as they are connected to electricity, which shows how rich the historical legacy of the former Soviet Union left to Russia at that time.
Of course, it is not that no one has ever had the idea of these scrap metals and machines, but after the calculation, many people have dismissed this idea.
First of all, these small towns are located in the vast Far East of Russia, and many of them are inaccessible, with no railways, only roads, and because of the loss of population, many of those roads have been abandoned due to poor maintenance, and even become difficult to walk.
Second, even if you find someone to demolish and move where to move the steel, it is also a very headache, you must know that the Russian Far East is already sparsely populated and human resources are expensive.
In addition, most of the Russians are lazy, and the women are fine, but most of the men are thugs who like to drink heavily, which increases the difficulty of management, and the local protectionism in Russia is also very serious, if you come here rashly as a foreigner and open a scrap metal recycling company, your results will be miserable.
Instead of being blackmailed by local gangsters and hooligans, they may be harassed by local hooligan police, and the final result is likely to be a tragic bankruptcy, which is also a very important reason why the Russian Far East has been difficult to develop despite its rich natural resources.
The locals are lazy and difficult to manage, but they are extremely gangsteristic and xenophobic, so it is of course difficult for foreign companies to enter Russia, unless you are from a large company with a very hard background like the United States.
Therefore, the scrap steel and machines seen on the Internet, as well as the dismantled tanks and planes, could only rot in the ground and wait to rust, which was really a great waste in the eyes of the people of the Celestial Empire at that time, but they could only stare dryly to express envy.
Now this Zmanov actually put forward such an idea, which really made Jin Xiaoqiang feel happy, but a little surprised, and took 1S.
"Mr. Zmanov, I would like to know, if you set up a scrap metal recycling company, how to solve the problem of transportation, as well as the problem of workers, according to me, the price of human resources in your country is not cheap?"
Jin Xiaoqiang raised his worries, but he didn't expect that after hearing this question, Zmanov laughed.
"It doesn't matter, we have a lot of ash livestock, and you don't have to worry about workers, human resources and transportation!"
Zmanov smiled at Jin Xiaoqiang very strangely, and then patted his chest and promised as if advocating.
Ash Animals.? Isn't this a contemptuous name for the army in Russia during the Tsarist era? What's going on?
Zmanov explained to Jin Xiaoqiang, it turns out that in recent years, although Russia's economic situation has improved, but the problem of corruption in the country is still very serious, although in the eyes of foreigners, Putin is an iron-blooded tough guy president, as soon as he came to power, he purged a large number of disobedient economic oligarchs, as if a lot of good things have been done for the people, but in fact, the reality is not much better than the original.
Over the years, Putin has defeated a large number of economic oligarchs and regained many of the economic privileges controlled by these oligarchs, but this is really just a redistribution.
Many of the industries he took back from the economic oligarchs were divided and auctioned off by him, some of them fell into the hands of the small oligarchs who have been following and supporting Putin, and some of them fell into the hands of British and American companies, and the common people only got some scattered sweetness. …,
Therefore, in terms of the issue of military funds, Russia's military spending has always been facing the problem of serious shortages, although it is much better than the Yeltsin era, when military salaries were often not paid, but now many troops can only barely mix with food and clothing.
For example, the current Pacific Military District in the Far East has always been facing the problem of a serious shortage of military spending, and the generals of the Far Eastern Military District have always been at a stalemate with Moscow over such a problem.
Moreover, with the breeding of corruption, many middle and lower-ranking military officers are using their soldiers as slave soldiers, and often use the resources of the army to do some private work.
For example, officers at the company and battalion level often receive some construction work outside, and then they will let their soldiers work as workers, and then collect money from the contractor, and then distribute some sweetness to the soldiers under them, such things can be said to abound in the Russian Far Eastern Military District.
In particular, many of the second- and third-level units that have not been taken seriously by the above have been listed as being cut because of the problems of funding and the streamlining of the army, so these officers have been even more unscrupulous in doing their private work in recent years.
And Zmanov is the son of the commander of the Far Eastern Military District, so of course he knows that there is a lot of trickery here, and with these soldiers, it is simply very convenient to do such private work.
And you can also use the army's military vehicles to transport, it is simply a double win, you must know that unlike the army of the Celestial Empire, which often runs out of oil and causes oil shortages, Russia's oil resources are extremely rich, and their army will never have the problem of lack of oil.
Even in a few years, when the world's oil prices were high, the price of gasoline in Russia has only remained at about 5 yuan a liter, which shows the abundance of Russian oil resources.
Moreover, Zmanov also said that in the Russian Far East, there are still a lot of black households from North Korea, the Celestial Empire, and Vietnam, and those scrap metal recycling jobs, maybe the Russian natives are really unwilling to do it, but if these people are allowed to do it, as long as they are paid a very low salary, these people will definitely be happy to obey.
In the past, it was not that no one had the idea of beating these black workers, but because the Russian police were so fucked up and often blackmailed them twice in three days, many people did not dare to hire these black workers.
But Zmanov is different, his connections and background in the Far East are extremely deep, and if he hires these black workers, he will ensure that no one will dare to attack his idea.
Hearing Zmanov's explanation, Jin Buqiang immediately relieved his heart, transportation and manpower, in his own opinion, are big problems, and feelings are not a problem in the eyes of others.
"Well, Mr. Zmanov, I would like to ask, how much do you plan to sell a ton of scrap steel?"
Jin Xiaoqiang looked at where this Zmanov was still talking endlessly, so he asked out loud, since this guy has been fighting these scrap iron ideas for so long, then he is willing to calculate the price a long time ago.
"Hehe, it's not expensive, how about thirty dollars a ton?"
Oh my god, this guy. "Really." Jin Xiaoqiang was a little speechless, indeed this is simply too much. "It's so cheap.
You must know the current price of iron ore powder in the world, the Australian ore taste is only a ton of US dollars, and the price of Mexican iron ore powder, the price of the gills is only a ton of US dollars, and the arrival price of Vale may be a little more expensive, that is because of shipping problems, and the taste of silver and iron ore in the Philippines is only about a ton of island US dollars.
But those are iron ore powder, and they have to be refined and refined, and what this Zmanov provides is pure scrap steel, as long as it is returned to the furnace.
Moreover, the price of the above-mentioned iron ore fines will continue to soar in a few years, with Australian ore rising to $100 a ton, Mexican high-grade ore fines rising to $1 a ton, and even broken iron ore in the Philippines rising to $60 or 70 a ton.
If this Zmanov can always guarantee such a price, it is simply giving himself money!
"Okay, deal!"
Jin Xiaoqiang's face has been replaced with a smile, of course such a deal has to be done, people are responsible for purchasing and transporting, and they only need to be responsible for taking back these scrap steel on the national border, and then returning to the furnace and refining can be taken out and bought, this is really a good deal.
"Mr. Jin, there's another big deal, I don't know if you're interested in doing it?"
Zmanov saw that Jin Xiaoqiang was so bold and had reached an agreement with himself on scrap metal recycling, so he asked again.
"Oh? What business? ”
Jin Xiaoqiang is very interested in this Zmanov now, he feels that this guy is like a treasure bag, and what he can't look down on if he escapes casually may be a big opportunity for himself.
"That's right, we may have to dismantle several submarines recently, I don't know what is on this submarine, are you interested?"
"Oh? What kind of clearance boat to dismantle? ”
As soon as Jin Xiaoqiang heard this, he immediately pricked up his ears, thinking in his heart, isn't this guy talking about the big guy?
"Well, it's the Akula-class nuclear submarine!". )
