Agricultural giant since 1983

Chapter 235
"I remember that when you first graduated, you worked as a teaching assistant for Professor Min for a period of time, and you also taught short courses?" Li Lei asked. This was the real reason why he chose Jiang Shuangcheng.

"Yes, there were a few comrades from the north who came to study Chinese at that time. I also learned about the situation in the north from them, so I dare to be a traitor now!" Jiang Shuangcheng recalled what happened back then. Those people were all young people from the diplomatic system in the north. Cadres, because the age difference is not too big, so they have a good relationship with each other, and they often chat and eat together in private. Unexpectedly, the small talk before has become the capital to make money now.

"Then do you remember that there was a man named Kasim Romart Kemelevich Tokayev, how is your relationship with him?" Li Lei immediately asked.

"Not bad. I remember that he graduated from the Moscow Institute of International Relations. His father was a World War II hero and became a writer after the war. His mother was a teacher at the Almaty Institute of Foreign Languages. He is very talented in languages, has a very high level of English and French, and he is also learning Chinese very quickly, and his grades rank first in the same group of students!" Jiang Shuangcheng has a deep memory of good students, and he immediately dug out Tokayev data.

That's right, it's him, Tokayev, Kazakhstan's foreign minister after independence, and a loyal confidant of President Nursultan Abishevich Nazarbayev, who has been in power in Kazakhstan for 30 years. He later succeeded Nazarbayev as Kazakhstan's president after he retired from politics.

Lao Mouzi has his eyes on Lao Maozi's plane, and Li Lei is even more ambitious. He is eyeing a large area of ​​land in Kazakhstan. Since he is engaged in the agricultural industry, it would be a pity if it does not involve staple food. However, in today's China, Grain trading is not open enough, and it is even more impossible to acquire a large area of ​​land. It will take a few more years before we can hope to find opportunities in the Northwest and Northeast.

Since it doesn’t work at home, let’s look at foreign countries. However, there are not many choices abroad. Counting the countries with the highest arable land area in the world, the United States can buy farms, but for a foreigner, it may be okay to buy a small amount. It is unrealistic to want to buy too much.

India is such a strange country, if you invest in their country, you just wait to lose all your pants; the same is true in Russia, the old man is too rough, maybe you will rob it directly that day; Brazil may be considered, but not Now; Canada and Australia are equally unsuitable to wear a pair of trousers with old Americans; Ukraine will be too chaotic in the future; Nigeria and Brazil are similar, and it is not suitable to go in now.

Not to mention Indonesia, Li Lei did not plan to go before the new century, but he will think about it in the future. After much deliberation, Li Lei chose Kazakhstan.

Kazakhstan's arable land area is about 24 square kilometers, ranking No.14 in the world, and the land is sparsely populated. The per capita arable land is 1.26 hectares. The per capita arable land in China is only 1.4 mu, which is less than one-tenth of Kazakhstan. Although Kazakhstan Stan has shortcomings such as insufficient rainfall, but so much land still makes Li Lei greedy, and this problem is not insurmountable.

Kazakhstan has a vast land and few people, and its agricultural management is quite extensive. The wheat yield per mu is only 50 to 100 kilograms, which is almost the level of China when the People’s Republic of China was just founded. With a little improvement, you can get huge benefits.

More importantly, the political situation in Kazakhstan is relatively stable. Li Lei doesn’t care whether Nazarbayev is a dictatorship or not. Just looking at his control of Kazakhstan for 30 years, he knows that this person has a strong ability to control. A stable country is definitely better than a chaotic one. The country is worth investing in.

As for the children of his family who are among the top richest people in Kazakhstan, this is not a problem at all for Li Lei, and it is even a good thing. I am not afraid that they like money. , And if they want to make money, they must give priority to projects such as oil that are easier and more profitable. This kind of young man is definitely not willing to work hard on farming.

"He is currently working at the embassy in China. Do you still have contact with him? If so, wait for a chance to chat with him in two days. I want to do some business in Kazakhstan, and I want to consult him about this. A local!" Li Lei planned to get in touch with Tokayev first.

After finishing his studies at the Language Institute in Beijing, Tokayev returned to the north and worked in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for two years, and then he was sent to the embassy in China as the second secretary and first secretary. He is now a counselor and will wait until next year He will be transferred back to China to study at the Moscow Diplomatic Academy, but Mao Xiong collapsed before he graduated.

However, the downfall of the bear is a good thing for Tokayev. His father was a World War II hero and the most famous writer in Kazakhstan. Immediately became Nazarbayev's direct lineage, holding key positions for a long time.

"I still have a little contact, but not much. You know, the nature of his work is a bit special, and it's not easy for me to get too close to him, but it's okay to have a meal and inquire about something!" Jiang Shuangcheng couldn't help it Reminder, "Why do you want to go to Kazakhstan for business? How good is it to go to the north? There are not many people in Kazakhstan, and the economic level is average. I'm afraid it will be difficult to do business?"

It's not suitable to be a loser, but if he wants to contract land to build a farm, Kazakhstan is definitely Li Lei's best choice now. There is no way, he really can't reach other places!
"The north has the benefits of the north, and the west also has the benefits of the west. May I ask how much money you can make by traveling now?" Li Lei suddenly changed the subject.

"It depends on your luck. If you are lucky, it will be two or three thousand. If you are unlucky, it will be considered good if you can come back." Jiang Shuangcheng reported a number. This number is enough for ordinary people today, but it is still far from completely solving her daughter's illness. very far.

"Let me just say it straight. I came here this time mainly to let Mr. Jiang work for me, specializing in the business in Kazakhstan. Don't rush to refuse, first listen to my sincerity, as long as you agree, your daughter will be treated I will cover the expenses, and I will directly arrange for her to go to the United States for surgery." As soon as Li Lei opened his mouth, he offered a condition that Jiang Shuangcheng could not refuse.

In fact, he can use this as a carrot to hang Jiang Shuangcheng first. As long as he is given a little hope, Jiang Shuangcheng will work hard and do things for him with all his heart; It's better to be more generous.

Through the background investigation and the contact just now, Li Lei feels that Jiang Shuangcheng is not an ungrateful person. He will definitely treat himself as a benefactor after saving his daughter; More at ease, isn't it?

"Go to the United States for surgery?" Jiang Shuangcheng was stunned. Of course he knew that the United States has the most advanced technology and medical technology, but how much does it cost to go to the United States for surgery?He doesn't even have enough money for surgery in China, so how dare he think about going to the United States?

"The best hospital for kidney disease in the United States is the Mayo Clinic, and it is also the number one hospital in the world. Xiao Min's disease is just a small problem for them, and it can be cured when you go there! Of course, if you want Xiao Min You can also go to other hospitals, New York-Presbyterian Hospital and Cornell University Hospital are also the top three in the world!" If you want to give it, then give it the best, if you don't treat others as a gentleman, how can people repay you with a gentleman?
"The best hospital in the world? How much does it cost?" Jiang Shuangcheng murmured. Although he had already guessed that this was a number that he could never bear, but out of love for his daughter, he still wanted to know , anyway, let him have a thought.

"Mayo's surgery for kidney failure ranges from US$12 to US$[-], depending on the specific conditions of the patient, and children are often more expensive; The recovery and so on add up, it is estimated that it will be more expensive than the operation fee." Li Lei has already asked people to inquire.

"Then that's 30 dollars?" Jiang Shuangcheng sat down on the sofa, he felt that the couple would never earn so much money in their lifetime.

"Almost! As long as you agree to come to work with me, I will cover all the expenses for Xiao Min's medical treatment in the United States." 30 US dollars can buy the opportunity to become friends with the future president of Kazakhstan, which is really cheap.

"You're not a spy, are you? No, what's the use of a spy looking for me?" Apart from the fact that a spy wanted to bribe him to spy on state secrets, Jiang Shuangcheng really couldn't think of a reason why he was worth so much money. What else is worth buying?And 30 U.S. dollars, you probably won’t need that much to buy a professor from the National Defense University, right?

"Pfft!" Li Lei sprayed directly, and his imagination was rich enough, but thinking back a little bit, what he said to persuade Jiang Shuangcheng just now was really a bit like a spy.

"That's right, you have resigned from the school, and even if you haven't resigned, what can you buy as a teacher from the language school? Forget it, just wait a moment!" Li Lei went downstairs and asked Xu Zhengyang to buy a bunch of them. I found reports about him in old newspapers, some of which were established by the National Association of Township Entrepreneurs, and some of which he attended the opening ceremony of the Asian Games, and showed Jiang Shuangcheng one by one.

"Look, I'm a serious businessman! And to take a step back, even if I'm a spy of that country, with my current status, they should use it with caution, right? It's very useful for a job like buying you Do you want me to do it?" A spy of this level is definitely the treasure of the intelligence department.

"I'm talking nonsense, I just can't figure it out, what is worth 30 US dollars to me." Jiang Shuangcheng apologized repeatedly, but still did not clear up the doubts in his heart.

"It's normal. I want to do big business in Kazakhstan. There are very few people like you who know Russian and dare to fight, especially in Kazakhstan who have certain social connections! Don't worry, I'm serious about business. Don't do that mess!" Your relationship with Tokayev alone is worth 30!

"You don't need to answer right away. You must think about such a big matter. It's getting late, and your wife is coming back from get off work soon, right? Let's go out for a light meal when she comes back? I asked the chef at the Kunlun Hotel to prepare a The table is suitable for Xiao Min to eat, and it is just right for us to go there now!"

Jiang Shuangcheng instinctively wanted to refuse, but Li Lei's words just now planted seeds in his heart, and he wanted to know more about the Mayo Clinic, so he agreed.

After a while, Jin Xiaohong came back, Jiang Shuangcheng woke Jiang Min up, and the family followed Li Lei to the Kunlun Hotel, and the food was ready when they arrived.

Haiyan’s service is really considerate. He first called the doctor he is familiar with to inquire about the dietary taboos of uremia patients, and then discussed with the executive chef to come up with a high-quality protein food such as fish and shrimp and low-fat vegetables such as lettuce and broccoli. The main menu is the main menu, and we also pay attention to the use of seasonings, making a table of delicious meals that are very suitable for Jiang Min.

Jiang Min was very happy to eat. It was the first time for Jiang Shuangcheng and Jin Xiaohong to eat in such a high-end restaurant, but they were not in the mood to enjoy the food, but they still smiled when they saw their daughter eating happily.

After the meal, Li Lei asked Jin Xiaohong to take Jiang Min to play in the children's play area, and continued to chat with Jiang Shuangcheng. This time, he might as well let go of his words, "Mr. Jiang is a cultural person, must have heard the story of rare goods that can be lived in?"

Strange goods can live from "Historical Records-Biography of Lu Buwei". Lu Buwei was originally a businessman in the Wei state.

Then I went home and asked my father, "How much profit can I make from farming?"

The father replied, "Ten times."

Lu Buwei asked again, "How many times will the profit be made by selling pearls and jade?"

Father went on to say, "A hundred times."

Lu Buwei asked again: "How many times can you make a profit by establishing a monarch of a country?"

His father said "innumerable", so Lu Buwei spent all his family wealth running back and forth for Qin Yiren, and when Qin Yiren ascended the throne of Qin King in the future, Lu Buwei really got rich rewards.

What Li Lei has to do now is not as big as that of Lu Buwei, but the meaning is the same. They all make friends in advance before the other party gets rich, and then when he is in a high position, he will naturally get a lot of benefits.

"Eastern Europe has undergone drastic changes, the reunification of Germany and Germany, and the international situation has changed dramatically in recent years. Not long ago, Kazakhstan also issued a declaration of sovereignty. Maybe in a few years, Kazakhstan will be able to break away from Big Brother like those countries in Eastern Europe. By then, this Comrade Tokayev, who needs connections, connections, and ability, may soon become an upstart in Kazakhstan!"

"Let's establish a good relationship with him now. When he goes up in the future, we can find a good deal in Kazakhstan and ask him for help. Can he not agree?" Li Lei said.

　It seems that there is still a chapter owed to repay the debt before, but now I make it up, and the update at night will remain the same.
