Feng Yu was also happy to help him . He could help Longjiang solve the unemployed farmers’ issue and could still make some profits . Hmmm…… He could also help Zhang Ruiqiang and Uncle Wen gain some political credits . Of course, Feng Yu would not only gain favors and friendships . He could also get profits from labor supply company and help the Machinery Company enter the Russian market .
4 years? Feng Yu sneered . The first year will be used to cultivate the land . The farmers will still be trying to adapt to their lives there, and they would not have any profits . The second year onwards, the farmers could see some profits . But if they were to buy tractors and other farming equipment, build houses, 4 years will not be sufficient . If the farmers could not make any money, and Feng Yu still collects their money, then Feng Yu would not be considered helping China’s economy . He would be just earning from his fellow countrymen and making his fellow countrymen work for free! The duration should be at least 5 years!
“If we count this year, there will be 9 more years . It is too long . Those politicians will not agree . I can help you persuade the politicians to extend the duration to 5 years . This is the best I can do . ” Kirilenko said . “Brother Ki, I am guessing that after a few years, those officials will take back the land? Although this is good for Russia, I dare to say that your Russian farmers will not be able to make any money . It is not easy to be a good farmer . My family also have a farm . I know more about farming than you . For example, if I ask Mozgov and you to be farmers, are you confident that you can make money?” Kirilenko and Mozgov looked at each other and knew the answer .
Feng Yu raised his half-filled beer mug and knocked on Kirilenko’s full glass of vodka . Without saying a word, Feng Yu chug down his beer . Kirilenko looked at Feng Yu and saw Feng Yu staring at his glass of vodka . Kirilenko had no choice but to finish his drink . He was not as shameless as Feng Yu…… After Kirilenko walked out, Mozgov still wanted to drink with Feng Yu . Feng Yu only had one more mug of beer and used the excuse of having to discuss important matters, to stop drinking . This was a good excuse . Mozgov could tell that the farmer issue, mentioned by Feng Yu, was critical to Kirilenko . Kirilenko and Feng Yu were the owners of companies . He as only working for them . He was also helpless when Feng Yu refuses to drink more . So, he just ate the dishes with Feng Yu . Feng Yu was enjoying Russian cuisine . He loves Russian food . When Kirilenko returns, Feng Yu was almost full and had started ordering desserts and fruits . “Feng, I had made a few phones calls just now to the government officials at the borders . I had discussed with them about the things you told me, and they agree . As long as those farmers abided by the Russian laws, there should not be a problem!” Kirilenko said excitedly .
.
. . Feng Yu was helping him to solve the shortage of farmers issue . Then Russia’s agriculture industry will improve . After a few years’ time, Russians will realize that farming was profitable and they will start to farm . Then they would no longer need to rely on the Chinese . Kirilenko was smart . This way, he could also help some politicians solve this issue, and in return, his business can operate better . He will have more support from the top . Feng Yu was also happy to help him . He could help Longjiang solve the unemployed farmers’ issue and could still make some profits . Hmmm…… He could also help Zhang Ruiqiang and Uncle Wen gain some political credits . Of course, Feng Yu would not only gain favors and friendships . He could also get profits from labor supply company and help the Machinery Company enter the Russian market .
.
. . “Brother Ki, I will set up a manpower supplying company when I am back . I will contact you after it is set up . The fields I wanted, must be good fields . The land must be flat and cannot be swampy or have hills . ” Feng Yu made his requirements very clear . Longjiang province’s farmers were used to farm on flatlands and grow corns, soybeans, and wheat . Hills were not suitable for big farming machinery . “You can rest assured . I promise that all the fields are good fields . There will still be some uncultivated land too . Your farmers can cultivate those lands if they want . The taxes will be very low . ” Kirilenko said . “Then how long can we rent the land? If it is only for 3 years, the farmers will not be attracted . After all, the farmers had to work away from their homes . I think Russians also do not like to work away from their homes . ” Kirilenko asked: “What about 4 years? 4 years should be sufficient for those farmers to earn some money . Our country is now trying to develop the agriculture industry . We cannot rent the land to you for too long . 4 years? Feng Yu sneered . The first year will be used to cultivate the land . The farmers will still be trying to adapt to their lives there, and they would not have any profits . The second year onwards, the farmers could see some profits . But if they were to buy tractors and other farming equipment, build houses, 4 years will not be sufficient . If the farmers could not make any money, and Feng Yu still collects their money, then Feng Yu would not be considered helping China’s economy . He would be just earning from his fellow countrymen and making his fellow countrymen work for free! The duration should be at least 5 years!
.
. . Feng Yu remembered that Russia’s agriculture industry starts to recover after Putin rose to power . Russian’s agriculture reform was initiated by Putin when he was the deputy president . Putin was in charge of Russia’s economic developments when Yeltsin was in power . That would be 6 years later, and there was enough time for the Chinese farmers to make money . “Brother Ki, I think that our contract should last until the year 2000 . The longer the duration, the more focus the farmers will be . They would put in more effort, and their output will be higher . This way, your government will get more crops . We can also set a percentage of the farmers’ crops as taxes and rent . This would be a win-win situation for both the farmers and the government . ” This way, any changes in the prices of the crops will not affect the farmers . “If we count this year, there will be 9 more years . It is too long . Those politicians will not agree . I can help you persuade the politicians to extend the duration to 5 years . This is the best I can do . ” Kirilenko said . “Brother Ki, I am guessing that after a few years, those officials will take back the land? Although this is good for Russia, I dare to say that your Russian farmers will not be able to make any money . It is not easy to be a good farmer . My family also have a farm . I know more about farming than you . For example, if I ask Mozgov and you to be farmers, are you confident that you can make money?” Kirilenko and Mozgov looked at each other and knew the answer .
.
. . Kirilenko was thinking in his heart . That means after 9 years, the fields were returned to Russia, their farmers will still be clueless about farming . They still must rely on the Chinese farmers after this duration . “Brother Ki, it is not up to us to discuss this . I can help you hire farmers from Longjiang province . Why not let the Longjiang government officials discuss with the Russian Officials? We can introduce both parties, and they will still owe us favors . ” Those government officials might be able to get better conditions from the other parties if they sit down and discuss . Furthermore, both Feng Yu and Kirilenko does not want their friendship to sour because of this . Kirilenko thought for a while and nodded . He only wanted favors from the politician . He was also not interested in this land rental business . How much can this business earn? Kirilenko had not calculated the profits from this business . There were a lot of profits . If 10,000 hectares of land were to be rented, the yearly profits would be at least a few million . If it were 100,000 hectares, it would be a few hundred million . But the initial investment will be a lot .
.
. . Feng Yu could also collect the rental from the farmers upfront and use the money to invest . If the farmers do not have money, they can get a loan from the back . Feng Yu can even be their guarantor . “Feng, you have helped me again . Cheers!”
. Feng Yu raised his half-filled beer mug and knocked on Kirilenko’s full glass of vodka . Without saying a word, Feng Yu chug down his beer . Kirilenko looked at Feng Yu and saw Feng Yu staring at his glass of vodka . Kirilenko had no choice but to finish his drink . He was not as shameless as Feng Yu……
