In business, you make an offer and I bargain, it's a two-way street. Li Mingze wants 15 billion, and if the other party really wants to buy it, they have to bargain. It's like a sawing back and forth here, and maybe the final price is what Wan Feng has in mind.
However, Wan Feng felt that this price was a bit mysterious. It seemed that none of the Russian screw oligarchs could afford so much money.
"How many days has this been going on?"
"About a week has passed since I made my offer, and he's gone back to Europe. I think he's going to raise funds, and I have a feeling he'll respond in the next few days."
"Are you so confident?"
"I have bribed one of his men. His men said that Botanin had only recently acquired the shares and didn't receive many. That's why he was in a hurry to acquire the shares."
Before Botanin returns and the details are known, Wan Feng's best strategy is to stay put.
Li Mingze continued to meet with Russian screwmen from Europe in Blagoveshchensk, while Wan Feng wandered around Heihe.
Since he was free anyway, Wan Feng discussed the development of Heihe with Qu Yang.
Heihe is located in a remote area with more mountains than plains, and is covered with virgin forests everywhere.
There are no unique conditions for developing industry. The only things that can be developed are breeding and animal husbandry, and then the grain industry.
This is probably the main reason why the country designated this place as a grain base a few years later.
It is understandable that Longjiang and Linji are positioned as grain bases, but Wan Feng cannot understand why Beiliao is also positioned in this way.
Bei Liao was the ancestor of the country's heavy industrial base, but in the end it became a grain base.
Wan Feng and Qu Yang stood by the Longjiang River and looked at the Daheihe Island not far away.
Wan Feng did not hide his views and spoke frankly about the advantages and disadvantages of Heihe's terrain.
"I think Heihe's long-term development lies in agriculture. The potential for industrial development here is really small. First, there is no industrial foundation. I have a motorcycle production line that I want to sell, but can you produce it if I give it to you? A motorcycle requires thousands of supporting factories. Can Heihe build so many? Even if you do, will there be a market to absorb the products? Without a market to absorb them, you will have to transport the products thousands of miles to the mainland for sale. How much will this cost? Without a cost advantage, how can you compete with mainland companies?"
Qu Yang nodded repeatedly: "What you said makes sense. Does this mean we have no way out?"
"Yes, but not now. It will take 20 to 30 years."
The country has actually seen the current situation in Northeast China and has also formulated a plan, namely the Greater Northeast Economic Circle Plan.
This economic circle includes the three northeastern provinces, Inner Mongolia, Outer Mongolia, Russia's Far East and Chaoxian Hanguo Japan.
Once this economic circle is established, with an area of several million square kilometers and a population of more than 300 million, it will be a large economic circle, and the three northeastern provinces will be revived in an instant.
Qu Yang was extremely shocked by Wan Feng's idea that he was like a fairy from the sky.
"Xiao Wan, are you drunk?"
"I didn't drink, what's the big deal!"
"Then why are you talking nonsense? Even the central government wouldn't dare to have such an idea, right?"
Hehe! This is what the central government proposed. I just leaked it in advance.
"That's a matter for the future. Let's talk about the current method that can quickly boost the Heihe economy."
"No way. If you have the ability to organize the three northeastern provinces to form an internal circulation circle, maybe it would be feasible for Heihe to develop its industry."
"Isn't that nonsense? How can I, a deputy secretary of a prefectural party committee, have such power? I don't even have the final say on some matters in Heihe City. And you want me to organize a circulation circle in the three northeastern provinces?"
"Haha! Then we can only dig for food in the soil. Isn't it good to grow wood ear mushrooms like the ones developed here in Heihe?"
In the past few years, wood ear mushrooms were grown using wood. Now that felling of wood is prohibited, sawdust is used instead. However, the taste of the grown wood ear mushrooms is much worse.
"But what else can we grow besides these two? The climate here isn't good for fruit, so forget it. We can't just plant mountain reds!"
"That won't work. Hawthorns are everywhere now. Who wants mountain red? You might as well mobilize the masses to plant hazelnuts instead of mountain red."
The reason why Wan Feng thought of hazelnuts was that he happened to have a cloth bag full of peeled hazelnut kernels and was eating them.
He bought this at a riverside stall for three yuan per pound.
"Planting hazelnuts? You're eating this now?"
"Yes! It's so delicious! I really like eating this. It's much more satisfying than eating melon seeds."
I can eat melon seeds all afternoon and still not feel full, but hazelnuts can fill me up.
"Hazelnuts have a long storage lifespan and won't spoil even if shipped south. They're not cheap right now. Shelled ones cost over a dollar in the market, and peeled ones are even more expensive."
"How big of a market can this thing have? Don't we have hazelnuts in the South as well?"
"Haven't you heard that only crops from the cold zones are real crops? How can hazelnuts from the temperate and subtropical regions of the south compare to hazelnuts from our cold zones? They're far inferior in size, not to mention the taste."
Qu Yang really had some ideas.
"The greatest benefit of hazelnuts isn't just the nuts themselves, the mushrooms that grow beneath the hazelnut trees are also good."
Mushrooms grown in extremely cold regions have a different taste from mushrooms grown in other hot regions.
People from the south who have never been to the north will probably never understand what chicken stewed with mushrooms is all about, and why it is so highly praised by people in Northeast China?
They must have thought there was something delicious about chicken stewed with mushrooms.
That's because they have never eaten real chicken stewed with mushrooms. Stewing pheasant with real wild hazel mushrooms is the real chicken stewed with mushrooms.
What you see in restaurants in later generations are all counterfeit products.
The height of the hazel tree is about one meter, and the tallest can reach one and a half meters.
"Don't tell me, what you said is a good idea. There are hazelnuts on top and hazel mushrooms underneath, killing two birds with one stone. But I don't know if hazel mushrooms can be planted on flat ground?"
"Then I'm not sure. Can't you do an experiment? This thing has a pretty good yield per mu. If your experiment is successful, promote it and maybe you can lead to a road to wealth."
"I'll think about it carefully. This might actually be a way for farmers to get rich."
Don't think this thing is cheap now, it will cost more than ten yuan per pound in twenty years.
If Quyang can really grow hazelnuts on flat land and plant hazel mushrooms under the hazel trees, it will definitely be a great achievement.
Whether he can succeed or not has nothing to do with Wan Feng, he just came up with an idea.
Qu Yang left excitedly, saying that he would go find agricultural fruit tree experts to study the feasibility.
Wan Feng was so bored that he took Han Guangjia and Zhang Xian with him to get a pass and go to Daheihe Island for a stroll.
I felt a little complicated when I set foot on Wanfeng Mountain of Daheihe Island again. The scene of my transaction here was still vivid in my mind, as if it happened yesterday.
