Chapter 374: Russia is short of farmers?

Views:

After arranging work for the mining company, Feng Yu was dragged to the hotel by Kirilenko again. It's time for lunch. Didn't you drink beer yesterday? Let's drink some beer today.

Duang~

When a large barrel of beer was placed on the table, Feng Yu's eyes suddenly widened. Why is it that in Russia, beer is sold by the barrel

This barrel of beer is at least ten liters, about twenty kilograms, and twenty bottles! Damn it, is Kirilenko so good at drinking beer

"Director Feng, I heard from the chairman that you prefer beer. The chairman doesn't like this kind of low-alcohol wine, and you know it, so I'm here to drink beer with you. Each of us will get a bucket first. If there is not enough, we will ask for more." Moz Goff raised the wine glass in his hand towards Feng Yu.

Not enough, I want more…

This damn thing is ten liters, one bucket per person? Not to mention beer, even water, I can’t drink it! Feng Yu sadly discovered that even with beer, he was no match for these furry bears!

"Brother Ji, you... well, let's drink beer." Feng Yu was just about to ask Kirilenko to help him share the points, but he saw Kirilenko wave the vodka in his hand at him. Instead of getting drunk with vodka, you might as well choose beer, at least beer won't be that uncomfortable.

With a one-liter cup of draft beer, Mozgov had sex with Feng Yu. Does Moscow also have a wine table culture? Is it also customary to show off one's power first

What's the best way to interrupt a drinking session? Not eating food, but talking so that the other party has no time to raise a glass.

"Brother, are those super electric fans I gave you last time easy to sell?" Feng Yu looked at Kirilenko, determined not to look at Mozgov.

"It's not bad. I didn't expect this electric fan to be able to blow hot air. What's rare is that it has no noise and is small and easy to sell." Kirilenko was a little envious of Feng Yu, who could always come up with such weird things. It's a small thing, but it's very practical and easy to sell.

He no longer has this talent. But he has a friend like Feng Yu. Some sales channels in the former Soviet Union are still in his hands. The important thing is that Feng Yu made the largest investment. Aren't you cooperating with him

Therefore, Kirilenko only envies Feng Yu, not jealously.

"What about agricultural machinery? Are some of the plows newly developed by our machinery company needed in Russia?" Feng Yu wants to promote the machinery company's products if these agricultural machinery can be exported to Russia. That shows that the technology has indeed reached world-class level and can also be exported to other developed countries such as Europe and the United States.

Of course, Russia is the closest to the Ice City, so shipping costs will be much lower and profits can be guaranteed. If exporting to other countries, it is difficult to guarantee this, unless parts and components are sold.

But if you don’t want to, you will never achieve it. Now imagine working towards this goal. Only then can it be possible to sell the agricultural machinery and tools of the machinery company overseas and earn foreign exchange through export.

Kirilenko frowned and said apologetically: "Feng, we don't really need this kind of agricultural machinery. Although the technological innovation of our domestic agricultural machinery is relatively slow now, it is actually no worse than yours. There is another one now. Germany’s agricultural machinery imports are recognized as the world’s industrial power. In terms of agricultural machinery, I don’t think your Chinese products will surpass Germany’s. Maybe you have reached or even surpassed our Russian level. But the price you gave me , there is no advantage, I can help you sell it, but I can’t make much money. Does your company need my help to sell some? If so, I don’t care if it doesn’t make money.”

Feng Yu was a little confused. He thinks that the price he gives is quite reasonable, almost the same as in China. At this price, coupled with the quality, Kirilenko makes no profit? This is impossible, right

"Brother, are you kidding me? Your place is as big as Russia, and the price I give you is not high. Are you going to have trouble selling food?"

"Feng, we have a lot of land, but a lot of farmland is abandoned. Many agricultural machinery factories in our own country have also stopped working. Russians nowadays don't like farming very much." Kirilenko spread his hands.

Feng Yu suddenly realized, and then he remembered that in the Soviet Union, not only the industry was declining, but the agricultural output value was also declining. Otherwise, how could the Soviet people not have enough to eat

At that time, the Soviet Union vigorously developed industry and paid insufficient attention to agriculture, resulting in a serious development bias. It seems that this situation lasted until the end of the century, when Russian agriculture began to grow.

At this time, Russia's grain output was less than 30% of its peak during the Soviet period. It had transformed from a former grain exporter to a major grain importer. It seems that until Feng Yu's rebirth, Russia failed to return to its peak level in the 1980s.

Of course, there are several main factors that restrict the development of Russian agriculture. For example, Russians don't like farming, they prefer to work in factories. For example, Russia's insufficient investment in agriculture will be ruined if there is a slight natural disaster. For example, although there was a lot of land in Russia at this time, it was distributed to more people, so many families had farmland, but the amount was relatively small.

You said that with such a small amount of farmland, we can’t do it without machinery. When buying a tractor, there is not much work to do, and the tractor remains idle all year round. At this time, Russian farmland, just like the Soviet period, partly belonged to the state and partly belonged to individuals, but individuals were not allowed to buy and sell it, making it impossible to gather the land together.

Feng Yu suddenly thought that in his previous life, it seemed that many people in Longjiang were allocating land, reclaiming wasteland, and planting large farms in Russia to the north of Longjiang.

Russians don’t farm, but they can lease land to Chinese people. Is leasing illegal? Privately reclaimed wasteland, as long as there is a little management, is more loosely managed than China. Well, Russia's corruption is world-famous, even worse than that of China. This can be seen from the fact that Brother Ji was able to help Feng Yu obtain so many contraband.

Feng Yu once heard that a tank was converted into a tractor. It was done by these Chinese people. It was much cheaper than buying a tractor, had more horsepower, and was durable!

In this way, what Russia lacks at this time is not agricultural machinery, but farmers. Their many fertile fields have now become wilderness. In China, there are still many farmers who don’t even have land to plant crops.

Including Longjiang, which has a large farmland area and a small population, there are also many people who have no land. If Feng Yu can bring many farmers to Russia, it will not only help Longjiang solve the embarrassing situation of farmers who have no land, but also help farmers generate income. It will also gain the favor of the Russian government, and he will also gain a lot of favor. This seems to be killing multiple birds with one stone.

Feng Yu leaned forward and came closer to Kirilenko: "Brother Ji, if I say that I can provide some farmers to farm in Russia and sell the grain to you, what do you think?"

Kirilenko's eyes widened: "What are you talking about, you can provide some farmers? Farmers who can farm?"

Feng Yu "..." doesn't know how to farm, so why should he be called a farmer

"Of course. But you have to allow those people to contract land, that is, contract farmland from multiple companies, contract farmland from the government, and farm it together. This will not only give some economic benefits to you Russians who have land but are unwilling to farm, I can also sell you some cheap grain from Russia without having to import it at high prices from abroad. Do you think it’s feasible?”

"How many farmers can you find?" Kirilenko asked anxiously.

"There are no less than a thousand people, and each person can contract at least fifty hectares of farmland. That is 50,000 hectares of farmland. It will only be more, not less!"

"Feng, you eat with Mozgov first. I'll go out and make a phone call. It's a very important phone call!" (To be continued.)

PS: The previous chapter was 372, Khan, this is also wrong. Thanks to my love Lingxia for the reward. Now I have a question for you: Should I update it in two fixed times every day, or should I write one chapter and publish it one by one, like I did a few days ago, and update it in five times? The second update today will be around 1:00 noon
