Reborn Resource Tycoon

After the disintegration of the former Soviet Union, many of the former republics, including Russia, faced a sharp economic downturn, currency depreciation, almost no foreign exchange reserves, high domestic and foreign debts, and extremely scarce domestic food and light industrial commodities.

At this time, it was tens of thousands of individual Chinese businessmen who, carrying their backs and shoulders, sent a large amount of Chinese goods to Russia and other former republics, and used the barter method to alleviate these problems. The country’s goods are scarce, and after that, China’s formal enterprises have gradually entered the Russian market. Russia urgently needs high-quality and cheap Chinese goods, and China also needs Russian raw materials and industrial products. Increasing bilateral trade is in line with the common interests of the two countries of.

The first time Fang Mingyuan came to Moscow that year, he took an international train from Northeast China to enter the country. He still had an impression of the scene at that time. Once the train entered Russia, at every stop, the "bad guys" would carry leather jackets and down jackets Waiting swarmed down, and at the train station, there were a large number of Russian businessmen waiting anxiously.It is precisely because of this form of transaction like ants moving that the Yabao Road Market in the capital has become the business district with the most foreign businessmen, the fastest transaction and the most expensive rent in the capital. It has developed from a market with dozens of small stalls to several A commercial building, a well-known business district with an annual trade volume of more than 20 billion US dollars.

It's just that this situation was later caused by the uneven quality of businessmen who came to Russia and many of the republics in China, and some of them sold fake products to discredit China.However, in this life, due to the expansion of the Carrefour Group in Russia, and the fact that Fang Mingyuan and Su Huandong had formally discussed this issue, when the country releases these "defeats", it has stepped up its investigation of counterfeit and shoddy goods. Inspection and punishment of counterfeit products.So here in Russia, Huaxia made this sign.It didn't fall into the miserable situation that the Russians regarded as synonymous with inferior fakes in the previous life.

But this does not mean that there are no problems. Due to the direct attention of the Russian high-level, the imported goods of the Carrefour Group enjoy special treatment during customs clearance. The phenomenon can be said to abound.At that time, the Russian Customs Committee simplified customs procedures in order to encourage imports.Customs clearance companies are allowed to handle imports for cargo owners. The cost of such customs clearance is only about half of the formal customs declaration tariff, or even less, but there is no formal customs procedures.Later, this customs clearance method was extended to sea, rail and automobile transportation, collectively referred to as "gray customs clearance".It's just that although the idea of ​​the Russian Customs Committee is good, in actual implementation, it is due to the collusion between the children of Russian officials and customs officers.Mistakes can be said to emerge in endlessly.

In Fang Mingyuan's previous life, Russia used to clean up the domestic market where Chinese businessmen gathered because of this problem. Of course, this was also mixed with power struggles within Russia, but at least in name, Russia was rectifying the trade environment, which caused a lot of damage. Russia declares war on tariff losses on "grey clearance".The issue is. "Grey customs clearance" is approved by the Russian Customs Committee.The customs clearance company was also established by the Russians, but it was the Chinese merchants who were most hurt.During the Russian attack, Chinese merchants lost billions of dollars!

Although most of these things happened after [-] and [-], it was because of the concentrated outbreak that they attracted the attention of the media. Before that, Chinese merchants were unfairly treated every year for various reasons. The reason is that the voice of the Chinese in Russia is not strong enough, and the country does not pay much attention to the unfair treatment of the Chinese in Russia.

"Fang, I will definitely convey your opinion to His Excellency the President, and suggest that His Excellency implement the policy effectively to change this situation." Belevsky was taken aback and said hastily.If it was said by the Huaxia officials, he would not take it to heart, but if it came from Fang Mingyuan, he had to take it seriously. Fang Mingyuan has a criminal record, so he really dared to do it.The Japanese, Koreans, and Vietnamese have all suffered.Moreover, with Fang Mingyuan's popularity in the international community, it would be a big trouble for the Russian government if he publicly announced that there was discrimination and deliberate suppression of the Chinese in Russia.This will seriously affect Russia's ability to attract foreign investment.

"Well, the Carrefour Group intends to open a trade center in the major cities of Moscow and St. Petersburg for Chinese merchants from Russia to settle in and conduct wholesale sales of goods. You can help to say hello to the managers of these cities. It's convenient. " Fang Mingyuan said again.Many Chinese merchants in Russia are concentrated in several major markets in the city. For example, in Moscow, there is the Cherkizovo Market, the Flower and Bird Market on the Moscow Ring Road, and the Astai Market.These markets have become the focus of the Russian judiciary in the future, and have also caused huge losses to the Chinese merchants who settled in these markets.

Fang Mingyuan intends to build a new trade center to attract these Chinese merchants to the trade center, so that they can be given shelter when Russia cracks down on gray customs clearance in the future.Secondly, it can also reduce the entry of counterfeit and shoddy goods into the Russian market and damage the reputation of Chinese goods. Those unscrupulous businessmen are all trying to make a quick profit, but they don't want to do it at all.Thirdly, he also intends to take advantage of the Carrefour Group’s advantages in Russian customs imports to help Chinese merchants avoid gray customs clearance from now on and achieve normal customs clearance.

Although gray customs clearance means that the taxes and fees paid will be reduced by half, the danger is greatly increased. Once discovered, the Russian judicial department may be charged with smuggling. Not only will the goods be detained, but personal safety will also be threatened.Moreover, as the Russian government is gradually on the right track, it can be said that it is inevitable to crack down on gray customs clearance that causes a large loss of customs revenue. Any government with normal management capabilities will not allow a large loss of customs revenue.What's more, the Russian government is short of money. A strike with legitimate reasons like this can not only detain valuable goods, but also get a huge fine. At the same time, it can also increase customs taxes. Fang Mingyuan will definitely do it.

Moreover, in these markets, these merchants not only have to pay high booth rental fees, but also suffer various kinds of exploitation. In the early days, due to the huge profits of reselling domestic goods to Russia, these Chinese merchants also bear the burden As the Russian society gradually enters the right track, the profits will become less and less, and eventually it will become pitiful Chinese merchants who take huge risks to enter the Russian market to make small money, and most of the profits will be earned by the Russians. go to the situation.

Therefore, Fang Mingyuan planned to plan in advance, and before the Russian government officially started to rectify the gray customs clearance, those Chinese merchants who were willing to do business in Russia would be sheltered under the Carrefour Group.At least Fang Mingyuan believed that in Russia, no one would challenge the Carrefour Group for this matter.Even if you challenge him, the unlucky person is definitely not yourself.

And in this way, it not only protects its own compatriots, but at the same time, the Carrefour Group can also have a good reputation in China. People who can come to Russia to make a living are not simple people. They must be celebrities in their respective hometowns. When the government starts to clean up gray customs clearance, they will understand that Carrefour Group is protecting them by doing so.

"Ah, that's not a problem. I'll greet them." Belevsky naturally didn't know that Fang Mingyuan had so many twists and turns in his heart. In his opinion, this was undoubtedly a good thing.The quality of Carrefour Group's products is absolutely guaranteed. Fang Mingyuan is willing to gather these Chinese merchants into his own business, and Russia will save a lot of worry. If there is anything to do, just say hello to Carrefour Group.

Along the road by the sea, the two chatted while walking. Fang Mingyuan noticed that even in November, there were still many people on the shore of the Black Sea, and many of them went swimming in the sea.

Belevsky noticed Fang Mingyuan's gaze, followed his gaze, smiled knowingly, and said, "Even in winter, the sea here can reach [-] or [-] degrees. There are many people in Russia who like to swim in winter. Even in Moscow, you can often see people swimming in the glaciers." Fang Mingyuan shrugged, he hadn't noticed this before, all he knew was that there were many nude photos taken in the ice and snow in the west, and that photo looked like a shock to him. feel cold.

"Hey, Fang, we also have quite a few outstanding actors in Russia. Hasn't your Hong Kong Kumho Film Group ever thought of using our actors? Their pay is much cheaper than that of Hollywood actors. "Belevsky said.

Fang Mingyuan couldn't help laughing, Belevsky, an important aide to the Russian President, is like a salesman here, either selling this or that.But when he thought about it again, he felt that this was normal.It is very common for important domestic entrepreneurs to accompany important government members of developed countries in Europe and the United States when they conduct diplomatic activities.Even the president of the United States is often charged with the task of selling his country's arms and civilian airliners to other countries.

"In fact, they just don't have a good opportunity to express themselves, and as far as I know, many Hollywood stars actually have Russian ethnic origin." Belevsky said.Soviet film also once occupied an important place in the history of world film, but after the disintegration of the former Soviet Union, although Russia inherited most of the legacy left by the former Soviet Union, the Russian film industry, like many other industries, declined rapidly down.
