Chapter 203: Overseas Pure Heart
In the evening of the same day, Counselor Gu came forward and brought in Mikhail, who was in charge of the container transfer station, who was the head of the Moscow Railway.
In fact, Mikhail had the idea a long time ago that the freight railway between Russia and China has been open for many years, but the results are not obvious. Until recent years, the railway freight between China and Russia has suddenly grown explosively, and the freight trains between Europe, Russia and China have increased a lot, which has attracted his attention.
Mikhail then explained in the form of a report on the changes in freight transportation between China and Russia, and how to make the best use of the Sino-Russian railway, and his proposal was to vigorously carry out container transportation.
In his report, he cited specific data, starting with bulk cargo transportation in the 90s, talking about the phenomenon of almost geometric growth of container transportation between China and Europe in recent years, and the idea of building a large container transfer station in Moscow was born due to the surge in transshipment and transit traffic.
Mikhail is very well aware that the establishment of a new cargo distribution location is inevitable, and Russia, as a transit zone, can greatly shorten the transportation time of goods between China and Europe, and Russia can also gain huge benefits from the expansion of the scale of trade between China and Europe.
The report said that last year alone, the number of TEUs passing through Russia between Asia and Europe increased by 60 percent. If the current momentum continues, Russia's role as a major transit hub will become increasingly important, and with a significant increase in the volume of trade between China and Europe, Russia's profits from transshipment will also increase significantly.
Mikhail's superiors must have fully realized this, so they not only actively supported the project, but also ordered him to be specifically responsible for the project.
After seeing Zhang Dong and knowing that he was the person in charge of the train business, he was naturally very happy. He knew that the utilization rate of the container transfer station he personally designed would be greatly improved, and needless to say, the profits would naturally roll in.
Mikhail said that the purpose of his construction of the container transfer station is to enhance the flow of goods between Asia and Europe, which is to serve customers in China and Asia and Europe.
Seeing this new building, Zhang Dong and Chang Jianming looked at each other and smiled, after all, they were experts, and Zhang Dong participated in the design and construction of the freight station almost from beginning to end, so he naturally understood it very well.
This is a modern, fully functional large container freight station, unique design, complete functions, including the command issuance area, receiving area, tally area, storage area, as well as circulation processing area, sorting and distribution area, delivery area, and even the waste disposal area, equipment maintenance area have been taken into account, the most humane, but also added some auxiliary functions, can allow users to better experience, the function of this large container freight station. Among them, the railway container operation area covers an area of not small, and the large loading and unloading equipment is complete, where the container can be shipped quickly.
Zhang Dong was very happy, he said that as soon as the contract was signed, the first batch of containers of the train would arrive immediately, and he hoped that the two sides would work closely together to speed up the transshipment speed and satisfy users.
"Dissatisfied brother said, the first year of cooperation, at least 300 columns, you have to be busy here",
"Haha, great, Counselor Gu, don't wait, let's sign the contract quickly, right?" Hearing that there was such a large volume of freight, Mikhail came to the spirit and hurriedly urged.
Needless to say, things went very smoothly, the last link was solved, and a stone in Zhang Dong's heart fell to the ground. After the contract was officially signed, he happily shook Counselor Gu's hand, "Embassy, this", he gave a thumbs up, "You are really far-sighted, you want to go ahead of us",
"That's that, uncle, you should learn from your new husband, he is a commercial counselor, and he is a pioneer of Sino-Russian trade."
"Haha, okay, the container transshipment problem has been solved, tomorrow we will go to the Russian-Chinese Chamber of Commerce to solve the problem of freight volume",
"Hey, new husband, listen, is this still the former coal boss? Isn't this just a transportation expert"?
"Of course, Shibei should be impressed in three days, as long as you are willing to study, it is never too late",
The next day, they attended a meeting convened by Shen Guofang on time and met friends from the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in Russia, all of whom were compatriots doing business here.
Counselor Gu introduced in detail the "Belt and Road" strategy formulated by the country, which is a new channel for establishing an interconnection partnership with various countries along the Silk Road, building an all-round, multi-level and complex interconnection network, realizing the diversified, independent, balanced and sustainable development of countries along the route, and allowing people from all countries to meet and know each other, trust and respect each other, and share a harmonious, peaceful and prosperous life.
Chang Jianming also told you about the original intention of opening the China-Europe train, and introduced that in order to cooperate with the development of the Belt and Road Initiative, serve the import and export trade between countries, and provide convenience and services for the better development of compatriots doing business at home and abroad, so it is necessary and inevitable to think about the opening of the China-Europe train. His speech received a warm response from everyone, because everyone here is engaged in import and export trade, so they have personal experience of the pros and cons of container transportation.
Zhang Dong focused on the train lines that have been opened and are about to be opened, with a total of 11 lines from Xi'an, which have been opened to Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan.
Iran, Afghanistan, Hamburg in Germany, Kovola in Finland, Budapest in Hungary, Warsaw in Malaszewicz in Poland, Ghent in Belgium, Milan in Italy, Minsk in Belarus, Russia, Latvia and Riga are opening one after another. These international train routes have basically achieved full coverage of the main sources of goods in Central Asia and Europe.
Hearing their introductions and the long-term and short-term plans of the train, the compatriots present were very excited. They have expressed that this is a support for overseas compatriots, and it has also solved their worries. Some merchants immediately said that they were worried about transportation problems, but now that they have solved their worries, they will not only do exports, but also do imports, and put all kinds of local specialties, all kinds of delicious, fun, and easy-to-use, such as Kazakh honey, Hungarian red wine, European cars, Italian kitchenware, Thai pineapples, and Norwegian salmon. All of them are introduced to China, so that the wealthy domestic relatives can enjoy these special products. During the meeting, the compatriots spoke freely, the more they talked, the happier they became, and when it came to the excitement, everyone stood up together and sang enthusiastically, "My motherland and me", this popular song.
Me and my homeland,
Not a moment can be divided,
Wherever I go,
All flowed out a hymn.
I sing of every mountain,
I sing every river,
curling smoke,
small villages,
A rut on the road!
My dearest Motherland,
I cling to your heart forever,
You use your mother's pulse,
Tell me.
My country and me,
Like the sea and the waves,
The waves are the children of the sea,
The sea is the support of the waves,
Whenever the sea is smiling,
I'm the whirlpool of laughter,
I share in the sorrows of the sea,
Share the joy of the sea,
My dearest Motherland,
You are the sea that never dries up,
Always give me blue waves and clear waves,
The song of the heart......
