Resource Tycoon Reborn

Victor knew very well in his heart that the reason why he was able to become the third person in the Party of Regions today, and at his age, he might have the possibility of becoming the number one person in his lifetime, and this also meant that he might become the number one person.

Becoming the Prime Minister of Ukraine. Such a career in life was something he had never dreamed of a few years ago. And part of this is because he has now become an important figure in Ukraine's exchanges with Fang Mingyuan.

Moreover, the Fang family's huge influence in Russia is also very important to Ukraine. For Ukraine, Russia is not only its largest trading partner, but also its most important energy supplier.

Russian oil and natural gas will have a huge impact on Ukraine's economy. Over the years, polar bears have threatened to stop supplying natural gas to Ukraine.

Therefore, Victor has long made up his mind to hug Fang Mingyuan's thigh. Of course, this does not mean that Victor intends to be a "traitor" and sacrifice some things that are not so important and cannot be regarded as the country's core interests.

In his opinion, it is worth it in exchange for the country's economy to quickly get back on track. Although Ukraine is now and has been recognized by countries around the world, this does not mean that Ukrainians can sit back and relax from now on.

The fear and disgust of many Ukrainians towards Russia can be said to have a long history. Especially during the period of Soviet rule, the tragic fate suffered by Ukrainians made them still have great dissatisfaction with Russia even after joining the CIS.

Be vigilant. Although Russia has been honest for some years after the disintegration of the former Soviet Union, Ukrainians do not think that Russian territorial ambitions will disappear. It is just that Russia is currently busy with internal troubles and cannot expand at all!

But even so, rumors of the merger of Belarus and Russia within the Commonwealth of Independent States are still circulating frequently. How can this not make Ukrainians vigilant?

Moreover, regarding the ownership of the Crimean Peninsula. Although the Russians have not publicly claimed sovereignty, privately, voices demanding the return of the Crimean Peninsula have been heard repeatedly. But how can Ukraine cede the Crimean Peninsula to the Russians?

!

The Ukrainians don’t want to suffer the nightmare of being ruled by the Russians again, but they don’t have enough strength to face Russian pressure alone. So they have been trying to find ways to get security guarantees!

Ukrainians are actively looking for opportunities to move closer to Europe, hoping to join the EU. However, this is a long-term project, and we don’t know whether European countries will accept it. We must first pass Russia. Russia now competes with the United States for the West

After these few years, countries can be said to have returned to a hostile position. Both sides dislike each other. The United States wants to continue to weaken Russia and ensure that polar bears cannot challenge the status of the United States for a long time. The Russians

After the dream of European and American countries accepting Russia was shattered, they pursued the rejuvenation of the country!

Ukraine is the poor thing caught between them. It is impossible for the Russians to allow Ukraine to turn around and join the American camp. That means that American power has advanced to the border of Russia's European territory, too close to its core hinterland! So close!

People in Russia have no sense of security at all, so the Ukrainians themselves don’t know when they will be able to achieve this goal.

Although Fan Mingyuan is young, he has good relationships with senior Chinese and Russian senior officials, and he also has amazing influence in the world. Therefore, whether from an economic or political perspective, Victor believes that the future depends on Fan Mingyuan.

Thighs are good for his personal career and the future development of the country.

He didn't expect that just relying on the transfer license of a high-strength alloy welding technology would tempt Fang Mingyuan to do this, but he knew that setting the price too high at the beginning might have the opposite effect.

People's hearts are always insufficient. As long as Fang Mingyuan is interested, then everyone has something to talk about.

And he also heard that the Ukrainian government has made a request to Kowloon Airlines to purchase three to five more An-124 transport aircraft. Because the launch of the production line of the An-124 transport aircraft cost more money than expected.

He believed that given the character of Fang Mingyuan and his assistants, they would definitely have a good talk with the Ukrainian side. Those few were not willing to suffer losses.

In the past two years, Andre also learned a little bit of Chinese because he was also dealing with the Fang family, but he was far inferior to Victor. After listening to Victor's explanation, he nodded and said: "Then you have to

Tell them to be mentally prepared, Fang and his assistants are not easy to convince." Victor smiled, this can be regarded as the heroes having the same opinion.

"Andrei, tell me... is it possible for us to convince Fang to invest in building a factory in Ukraine?" Victor picked up the coffee in front of him, took a sip and said, "For example, an oil pressing plant."

"Oil pressing plant? Soybean oil?" Andre frowned and said, "Victor, the tariff on imported soybeans from China is 3%, and the tariff on imported soybean oil is 9%!"

"Well, I know. However, last year, the Fang family received nearly three million tons of soybeans from us. It took a lot of effort to transport these soybeans to China. If Fang is willing to invest in building a factory in Ukraine, it will

All these soybeans are processed into soybean oil. Wouldn't it be much more convenient to transport?" Victor said, "And I have also inquired that the annual income of workers in China is not high. According to the report of their National Bureau of Statistics, last year their nationals'

The average annual income is almost US$3,000, while the average annual income of our country's citizens last year was less than US$1,600. In this case, building a factory and investing in us should be profitable for them.

"

"Three thousand U.S. dollars? Is it really that much?" Andre said in shock, "Are you sure China's per capita annual income last year was close to three thousand U.S. dollars? God, are they richer than us?"

But...how do I remember that Fang and his assistants always lamented that China was too backward and the national income was too low? Are China's statistics credible? Unlike the former Soviet government, the statistics were very good and the national income was absolutely

You can be among the best in the world, but in fact you can’t buy anything even if you have money.”

Victor hesitated for a moment and said: "Okay, I admit that you have convinced me that China's data is likely to have a lot of water. Their authoritative media has also reported that their farmers can plant on one hectare of land.

Produce seventy-five tons of grain."

"One hectare of land grows seventy-five tons of food? Or is it the authoritative media?" Andrei looked at Victor in disbelief, as if to confirm in this way whether Victor was joking! Ukraine has the best food in the world

The black soil is known as the granary of Europe. But even in the best years of Ukrainian agriculture, it was absolutely impossible to get such an amazing harvest.

"Can food crops mature twelve times a year on Chinese land?" Andre frowned.

"I don't think there are any food crops in the world that can ripen twelve times a year, although I'm not an agricultural expert." Victor shrugged, "I heard that they can ripen three times a year in the tropics. This is already amazing. But

I didn’t lie, this is indeed the news published by China’s authoritative media.”

"Didn't the Chinese government shoot the editor-in-chief of that media? If you are sure this is not an April Fool's Day joke." Andre was even more incomprehensible. How could such incredible news be reported in authoritative media and tabloids?

Pretty much.

"No, no personnel of this media have been punished for this, and many local media in China have forwarded this news. So, you said that there is a problem with their income statistics, and I believe that it is indeed possible.

"Victor spread his hands and said, "However, I think even if this data is very inaccurate, the economy of China's coastal areas is still developing rapidly. I have been to some big cities in China, and the income of people there should still be the same.

Relatively high. So I think, even so, there is still a lot of profit to be made by investing in building a factory here."

Andrei nodded. He believed that some parts of China had relatively high incomes, higher than the average income of Ukrainians. After all, he also knew that in China, due to its huge land area, good areas and those

Compared with regions with poor development conditions, it is normal for there to be a huge gap in income. In Ukraine, the state with the best economic level and the state with the worst economic level have a difference of 1.5 times in average national income!

"Andre, I hope you can work with me to facilitate this matter." Victor said seriously. This is the main purpose of his coming today. If it is just to ask for news, there is no need for him to come in person. Just make a phone call.

alright.

"Huh?" Andre raised his head and looked at Victor. He knew that Victor must have something more to say.

"Our Party of Regions has successfully formed the government, but I can say with certainty that if the country's economy does not improve significantly, it will be hard to say whether we can retain this position after the next parliamentary election." Victor

He said with a bitter expression. Also coming out of the former Soviet Union, the economies of the three Baltic countries including Lithuania have risen significantly. The economic situation of Hungary and other countries in the former Eastern Europe is also very good. However, the Ukrainian economy has never been able to reverse its decline, even if there are an occasional one or two.

The economic situation last year was good, but it could not form a momentum of sustained development.

A higher position means greater responsibility. The Party of Regions has greater power, so naturally it is unwilling to let it go. Moreover, Victor wants to go further, so how to better develop the Ukrainian economy has become a regional issue.

The most important issue that the party leadership needs to solve at present. To develop the economy, the universal method internationally is to introduce foreign capital. For a family that has invested in many countries in Russia and Central Asia, how could Victor forget the Fang family.

"Furthermore, you should also know that in our current import and export trade with China, we are in a serious imbalance of payments." Victor said.

"Yeah, I know." Andrei nodded. Every year, Ukraine imports billions of dollars worth of goods from China, and its exports to China, if you don't count military equipment and technology exports, are only a mere

More than one billion U.S. dollars. Moreover, Ukraine exports primary resources, but what it buys back from China are finished products.

"We hope to increase exports to China, at least keep some profits at home, and solve some employment problems." Victor couldn't help complaining, "Those fools, when they originally intended to acquire the Krisvorog National Steel Plant,

We are still in a dilemma. Could it be said that selling to Indians is now more noble than selling to Chinese?"

"After all, LNM Group is the second largest steel producer in the world." Andre said with a helpless smile. It's no secret that Victor doesn't like Indians. To be honest, he doesn't like Indians either. Between the former Soviet Union and the United States, Indians

The behavior of vacillating between countries and trying to have both sides left a deep impression on many Ukrainians. Moreover, India and Russia, which often purchase large quantities of military equipment from Russia, are very close, which of course makes Ukrainians who are wary of Russia somewhat dissatisfied.

.

"Aselock Group is still the world's largest steel company, and Fang Yiyi has joined the board of directors. And in China, he also has two large steel companies under his name! Maybe Fang is not as good as India in the steel industry.

"People, but if you count all the wealth, I'm afraid that Indian is not as good as the one above!" Victor said angrily. He had contributed a lot to the Klisvorog National Steel Plant, but the Ukrainian government was determined to sell it.

To the "own family"! If it was sold to the "own family", it was sold to the "own family". As a result, it went in a big circle and still had to be sold. As a result, the Fang family lost interest in the Krisvorog National Steel Plant. This time

, Fang Mingyuan himself never came to Ukraine.

"All the automobile companies under Fang's name have already set up factories in Russia." Andrei sighed lightly. He agreed with Victor's idea. If the Krisvorog National Steel Plant had been sold to Fang, maybe

Over the years, more of Fang's companies will come to Ukraine to build factories. In that case, it will not only solve domestic employment and develop the economy, but it will also give a stronger impetus to his and Victor's career!

"Ten years ago, there was no automobile company under Fang's name, and our Zaporizhia automobile manufacturing plant has existed for decades. What is the annual output? A mere 270,000 vehicles!" Victor also said

We know this because the Russians have publicized it vigorously to stimulate the major automobile giants who also want to set up factories in Russia. (To be continued.)
