Chapter Twenty-Five: Lonely Ground Rises
"What are you worried about? I'm worried about medicinal herbs!" Doctor Hua sighed, "You said that in this vast grassland, where can I go to find medicine, the recipe of Dahuo Luo Dan, I told you just now, there are fifty or sixty kinds, but it is not a small number, some things, it is too difficult to find, this old Gu Jing will find me a job", he pretended to complain.
"I've heard that medicinal herbs are produced on the grassland, so how can there be no medicine?"
"Some medicines are our specialties in the Central Plains, and you say that we can't transport them if they travel thousands of miles?"
"Haha, you also have times when you are worried"? Zhang Dong teased him with a smile, "Don't worry, as the saying goes, Jiren has their own heavenly care, don't worry, someone will do it for you in the task of finding medicinal materials",
'Who'?
"Far away in front of you, it's my boss Zhang" He joked, big bag,
"No kidding, what can you do? Is this a lack of medicine, not a lack of money? I know that money can make ghosts grind, but you can't do this medicinal herb!" Hua Guang shook his head,
"Hey, don't believe it, do you? There are no diamonds. I would never dare to take this porcelain job, just because I have two bad money, so I have to come to this job", Zhang Dong is very confident,
"Really? Then I have to give you a cup of medicine", Huaguang was happy,
"After drinking your wine, you can get the herbs, you are fine, hahaha", the two of them laughed heartily.
Seeing the two of them very happy, Chang Jianming's heart couldn't help but be full of questions, "Doctor Hua, when you called me at home, they said that you were in the hospital in Almaty, why did you come here?" How did you get together with Boss Zhang"? He was very strange,
"You have to ask Mr. Zhang, I worked well in the medical team, and he brought me here."
"Mr. Zhang, I heard that you are a coal mine in China, why did you come to Kazakhstan?"
"Do you know anything about Khazaohstan"?
"It's okay, I know a little bit, because I have to come here to do things, so I made some strategies in advance,
"Then what are the characteristics of Kazakhstan"?
"The country straddles the two tectonic plates of Asia and Europe, borders the Caspian Sea to the west, borders Russia, China, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and other countries, and faces Iran and Azerbaijan across the sea. The land area is quite large, and it is said to be the ninth largest in the world. 60% of Kazakhstan's land is desert and semi-desert. The northernmost part is the plain. The central part is a Kazakh hill with a length of 1,200 kilometers from east to west, the southwest is low-lying, and the east is mountainous with large coal reserves".
"Then you know why I'm here, right? What is this Karaganda out of"?
Chang Jianming slapped his thigh, "I know, you are here to run for coal"!
"Hehe, it's worthy of being a businessman, the brain is fast, you can still do a strategy before you come, it's better than me, we went in recklessly, and we almost stuffed it there"! Zhang Dong joked,
"Didn't anyone introduce? Just a few of you"?
"Actually, when I arrived in Kazakhstan, it was me and Xiao San, he was my wife's maiden nephew, you also saw him play karate and played well, he always served as my bodyguard, and after arriving here, he hired two more. I guess I received an invitation from a friend to come here to investigate. As soon as I heard that the coal reserves here are so abundant, and it is known as one of the top ten coal-producing countries in the world, I came to be interested, and the reckless ones came. Of course, people also have other mineral resources, but I am not interested in those things, we are from the background of coal, and I am an expert in coal mines, so I can't hide this from me", Zhang Dong said proudly.
"Then you have come to the right place, Karaganda and East Kazakhstan, these two oblasts are the industrial regions of Kazakhstan, which are very rich in mineral resources, not only coal but also copper ore"!
"People are coal bosses, and they are not interested in anything else"! Dr. Hua teased him,
"Now you can't call the coal boss, the coal mine in your hand is gone, now the environment is protected, it is being rectified, there is no scale of millions, just wait for it to close",
"What about you"?
'So, the money in his hand was idle and uncomfortable, so he invested in a railway transfer station, and as a result, all the repairs were completed, and they were all thrown there again', he smiled wryly.
"Then why"?
"No work, huh? If the supply of goods can't keep up, the mainline railway can't catch it, and this will be wasted without investment"?
"Then your investment is a bit blind",
"Hey, didn't you want to transport coal in the first place? I have a coal mine in my hand, and there is no shortage of supplies, but now the coal mine is gone, the price of coal has also come down, and almost all those who do coal transportation have changed careers, so the project is stranded".
"Hey, I have an idea, I can communicate with you", I heard that Zhang Dong has a transfer station, Chang Jianming came to be interested, "You know that I came to Russia, there are two tasks, one is to ask for accounts, and the other is also an investigation like you",
"Aren't you doing import and export? Come and inspect the coal mines, too? I have to advise you, don't do it, especially in the coal mines here, the situation is not clear, the procedures are not complete, and we can't do it"!
"I don't do this, since I'm in the import and export business, my investigation naturally revolves around this",
"So what are you looking for? Want to import Kazakh horse meat and horse skins"? Zhang Dong joked,
"This still has to decide the domestic demand, and it is really possible to import it in the future, but this time, I am mainly developing China-Europe trains".
"China-Europe Express"?
"Yes, the current situation is that air transportation is too expensive, sea transportation is too slow, so railway transportation is on the agenda, I think your railway transfer station, can be changed to a container yard, specially used for trains, in that way, the supply of goods will not be sufficient? Of course, this work, you have to get the approval and support of the customs, think about it, if you start from where we develop a fixed train to countries along the European route, along the five Central Asian countries directly to Russia, and then to Eastern Europe, Western Europe, and even Northern Europe, do you think about it, the source of goods is still a problem? And for an import and export company like ours, is there anything more important than being safe, reliable, and fast"?
'Hey, that's good, but is there a source of supply back?'
"Yes, the countries along the route are rich in products, so that imports and exports can be combined, and imports and exports can be balanced."
"Okay, yes, I'm interested in this, so that I can revitalize my freight station, and we'll do it when I go back", Zhang Dong came to be interested,
"I can't go back for the time being, the bandits not only robbed our partner company of money, but also kidnapped the financial director, didn't you see that the police came with me? This time I'm mainly going to solve this problem, and when the matter here is over, I can go back to my country"!
"Hey, then I'll help you, there is also Dr. Hua, he is familiar with the situation in Almaty, we can all help"?
"Okay? Then you don't investigate? The coal mine is not going to be done'?
"What? Not only did the investigation fail, but I almost put my life into it."
"Ahh.......h
