In the world today, the countries with the largest exports of iron ore are Brazil and Australia, but in terms of iron ore reserves, Russia has the largest amount of iron ore. This is affected by the level of economic development and harsh climate conditions.
, most of the iron ore mines in Russia are mined to a very low extent, and some were mined in the former Soviet Union. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, production ceased.
The Dubiago Iron Mine in Chita Prefecture is an iron mine that is currently out of production. Exploration data from the former Soviet era show that the reserves of this iron mine are as high as more than 100 million tons. If the exploration technology of that year is taken into account,
Far behind now, it is entirely possible that its actual reserves could reach 200 million tons.
To get rid of the heavy dependence on Vale and BHP Billiton, it is necessary to open up additional sources of iron ore. Qin Hai took action and sent more than a dozen teams to Africa, North America, South Asia, Central Asia and the Russian Far East to seek iron ore cooperation.
.This team led by Xie Qijin and Heizi is targeting the Dubiago Iron Mine.
Before Xie Qijin and Heizi set off, Qin Hai had already learned that Seryozha had been elected governor of Chita Prefecture. This news made Qin Hai feel very lucky. In any case, it is always better to deal with an acquaintance than to establish a relationship from scratch.
What's more, everyone is very familiar with Seryozha's personality, which can greatly reduce the time and cost of running in.
Seryosha did not expect that China would have such a big appetite and would directly target the Dubiago iron ore. This iron ore is the largest iron ore in Chita Prefecture and was initially developed during the former Soviet Union.
Iron ore is mainly supplied to the Chita Iron and Steel Complex. With the disintegration of the former Soviet Union, industrial production in the Far East plummeted, steel demand dropped sharply, and both the Dubiago Iron Mine and the Chita Iron and Steel Complex fell into a state of suspension.
It has been more than ten years since then.
"The Dubiago Iron Mine is a tough one," Seryosha said thoughtfully.
"Is it difficult?" Xie Qijin asked.
Seryosha said: "There are a group of old guys from the mine who said that the Dubiago iron ore is the most important wealth of Chita Prefecture and they firmly disagree to let foreigners mine it. Before you, there were two Japanese companies.
I once came to discuss the acquisition of the Dubiago Iron Mine. In the end, the deal was not concluded because of these people's troubles. If you want to acquire other iron mines, I can help you contact the Dubiago Iron Mine.
Well, it’s quite difficult.”
Xie Qijin looked into Xie Qijin's eyes, trying to judge whether what he said was true or false. He had some suspicion that Seryozha was planning to ask for an exorbitant price, so he deliberately exaggerated the difficulty. Seryozha felt Xie Qijin's suspicion, and he showed a bitter face.
, said: "Thank you, is my credit so bad? You don't believe me?"
Xie Qijin smiled. He had seen this expression of Seryosa in the past. It was often when Seryosa felt that he had been wronged by others, he would behave like this. It seemed that this time Seryosa said
It is indeed true. Dubiago Iron Mine was considered a large state-owned enterprise in the former Soviet Union. It is not surprising that such a unit has some persistent old people.
"Seryozha, other iron ores cannot meet our needs. What we are interested in is the scale of the Dubiago iron ore. We hope to mine 30,000 or even 50,000 tons of iron ore a year. Chita
Are there any other iron ores that can meet our needs?" Xie Qijin explained.
"30,000 tons a year." Seryosha took a breath of cold air. He was not completely unlearned. He had some understanding of the production capacity of the mine. The Dubiago iron ore was mined in that year.
At that time, the annual output was only two to three million tons, which was already considered the output of a large iron mine. Now Xie Qijin's mouth is 30,000 to 50,000 tons. This is such an ambitious goal.
"Well, since you are so determined, let me give it a try and see if I can do the work of those old men." Seryosha said with some reluctance.
Xie Qijin said: "Well, Seryozha, can you help us pull the strings? I want to talk to those old people in person. If we can reach an agreement, I will find you to complete the subsequent procedures."
"That's fine." Seryozha nodded in agreement.
With the governor's convenience, Seryosha quickly contacted Gege Chikoli, the old manager of the Dubiago Iron Mine, and told him that he had several Chinese friends who admired him very much and hoped to invite him to have a drink with him.
Gege Chikoli could guess the intention of the Chinese people Seryosha was talking about, but he did not refuse the offer to drink together, but happily accepted it.
The place where Gegeqikoli lives is the dormitory area of the Dubiago Iron Mine. After the iron ore ceased production, many young miners left here to work in Moscow or other places. Only some old people are left in the dormitory area. In the iron mine
When it was still relatively glorious, the leaders purchased some mining-owned properties in the urban area of Chita. Now, relying on the rents from these properties, they can barely provide some meager pensions to the old workers in the mining areas, but in general, the old workers
The life of the miners is very difficult.
Seryozha drove a large off-road vehicle and took Xie Qijin and Heizi directly to Gege Chikoli's house. When he knocked on the door and went in, he found that besides Gege Chikoli, there were three other elderly people in the house. According to reports,
Gegeqikeli said that they used to be middle-level cadres at the mine and were among the group of people who had a deep affection for the Dubiago Iron Mine.
"Since we are going to drink, of course the more people there are, the more lively it will be, so I called Chudakov, Wagner and Abegyan. If you want to know about the situation of the Dubiago Iron Mine, no one is better than them.
We are familiar with it." Gege Chikoli introduced to Seryosha and Xie Qijin.
"Miner Gegeqikoli is right. Drinking requires a large number of people and an atmosphere of talent." Xie Qijin said to everyone in fluent Russian, "We have brought two boxes of Chinese-made Erguotou wine. I hope you like it.
."
"Erguotou is a good wine," said the old man named Chudakov. He stepped forward, took out a bottle of wine from the box held by Heizi, looked at the label, and said, "That's right.
My son bought me two bottles of this kind of wine in the past, and I think it’s more powerful than vodka.”
"It seems that following the old mine director is a blessing, but I haven't had a good drink in a while." Wagner also said greedily, and then he snatched the bottle of wine from Chudakov's hand without saying a word.
He said he opened the bottle cap with his teeth and poured a big sip into his mouth.
"Ah, good wine," Wassenaar praised loudly.
"You two, please behave, okay? There are guests here, and they are guests from China." Gege Chikoli was a little embarrassed. He called Chudakov and others. In fact, he wanted to give Seryo
Sha Tian was stunned, but he didn’t expect these people to lose their normalcy when they saw the wine. They had already drank the wine brought by the guests before he said anything. This is really unreasonable. Anyway, I am Chinese.
He can be considered a foreign guest, right?
"You are Chinese," Chudakov looked at Xie Qijin and Heizi with some hindsight, and said, "I thought you were Japanese at first."
"Let's sit down and talk." Xie Qijin greeted. He has been doing business in Russia for many years and is quite familiar with the character of Russians. He knows that they like a straightforward way of communication, especially as long as they drink well.
It's all easy to say. He asked everyone to sit down first, and then started to take wine and various food out of the boxes that he and Heizi moved, and filled the Gegeqikeli family's dining table. Seeing so much food
, several Russians, including Seryosha, had their eyes straightened, and they were all eager to try, ready to feast.
"For the sake of the friendship between China and Russia, let's drink first." Xie Qijin picked up a bottle of wine and extended an invitation to everyone.
After Xie Qijin's demonstration, everyone stopped being polite. Everyone picked up a bottle of wine, popped off the bottle cap, and started blowing on the bottle. Xie Qijin had some drinking capacity, but it was not enough in front of a few Russians.
With his consistent fighting spirit, he fought one against five without losing any of his strength.
In the blink of an eye, everyone except Xie Qijin had already drank more than a bottle of Erguotou, and the atmosphere at the table became lively. Gegeqikeli stared at Xie Qijin with blood-red eyes and asked: "Xie, are you from China?"
Are you coming here because you want to buy our iron ore?"
"Does the director of Gegeqikeli Mine have any ideas?" Xie Qijin asked noncommittally.
"No, absolutely not," Chudakov said in a drunken tone, shaking the bottle of wine in his hand.
"Why?" Xie Qijin asked with an unhappy expression. These guys drink as if they don't need money. At the very least, they have to be soft-spoken and can't handle people with short hands. How can they drink my wine at the same time?
, while also saying "absolutely not".
"The iron ore belongs to us and cannot be sold casually," Chudakov said.
"Mr. Chudakov, you should know that we currently do not have the ability to develop such large-scale iron mines. Rather than letting these minerals lie there and sleep, it is better to sell them at a good price, which can at least improve the lives of the miners.
"Seryozha said.
"But after it's sold out, are we going to let our descendants drink the wind?" Gege Chikoli asked.
"Are they all working in the mines now?" Heizi put down the bottle and joined the conversation. He didn't understand Russian and relied on Xie Qijin to translate for him, but what he said was very sharp:
"Gentlemen, you are all old men of the Dubiago Iron Mine. Are you willing to see such a large mine completely idle? We are not plunderers. We want to develop this mine with you. Develop this mine."
The mine will not only make your lives richer, but also turn Chita into the most attractive city in the Russian Far East. Aren't you willing to see such a result?" To be continued.
ps: I recommended a friend’s new book Preparatory to the Underworld: The left eye sees good and evil in the past life, and the right eye distinguishes birth, old age, sickness and death.
He walked between the realms of yin and yang, mingled among high-ranking officials and nobles, and gained a great reputation through his wide network of contacts.
Metaphysics saves the world, and medicine saves people. Unknowingly, they already have the title of master.
But in fact, he does not belong to the human world. He is a disciple of the Patriarch, the future Lord of Yama, and a reserve soldier of the underworld.
