Two days after arriving in Almaty, Sha Zhengyang and Youwangang rushed to Akjiubin City, the capital of Akjiubin.

This is a small inland city with a population of 300,000, but it is not small in Kazakhstan.

Although I have already made various mental preparations, I still deeply feel the difference in a foreign country when I got here.

The climate is harsh, a typical temperate continental climate, with long winters, cool summers, and cold spring and autumn weather. The key is that its infrastructure conditions are quite harsh, and the municipal conditions are not even poorer county towns in the mountainous areas in the western part of the country. It is conceivable how difficult it will be to take root here.

The hotel conditions are also very bad, and various facilities are seriously aging. Kazakhstan, which has just begun the privatization process, has obviously not yet been influenced by the market economy. Everything is still in the transition from a rigid planned economy to a market economy, which seems chaotic, but the inefficiency of the bureaucracy still follows the pattern of the former Soviet era.

Eating habits here are also a big problem. Cheese and barbecue are the staple foods here, and vegetables are extremely sparse and expensive, which makes it unbearable for this group of Changhe people who come from China who should have vegetables for three meals a day.

Due to the drought and rainy area in this area, locals do not have the habit and experience of growing vegetables, which leads to a serious shortage of vegetables. Vegetables are basically transported from other places, with extremely expensive prices and even no market prices. However, the large wastelands around the city have not been developed at all, which shows that this country with a vast land and sparse population is still in a stage of being in a state of being in a waste.

The working group that arrived here in advance had begun to collect materials from the Kenkiyak oil field and the Jeannor oil field. After the Americans handed over some of the information they had, they quickly withdrew, and they could not adapt to life here at all.

You Wangang and Sha Zhengyang stayed here for three days with the working group. In addition, the working group had been here for more than a week. Soon the basic bidding information was prepared. After returning to Almaty, it was successfully submitted to the Kazakhstan State-owned Assets Administration.

The most important first step has been completed, and the rest is waiting for Kazakhstan to review and evaluate the bidding conditions for Chinese enterprises.

Texgu and Amoko also submitted their bids one after another. Whoever wins and loses will not be known until more than two months later.

"You Gaoguan, are you getting angry? Your nose is bleeding?" Sha Zhengyang is a young man. Although he is not very adaptable to the climate and diet here, he is not as unbearable as those others.

"Well, Zhengyang, life here is too hard and it is very unfavorable for us." You Wan just touched the beard under his nose and shook his head: "Have you noticed the biggest problem?"

"There are no vegetables." Sha Zhengyang replied with certainty: "I have known the farmers and herdsmen here, and they have a great demand for vegetables, but for Kazakhstan people, vegetables are not the most urgent thing."

Kazakhstan has not yet completely stabilized from the chaos after the collapse of the former Soviet Union and Kazakhstan after the independence of the former Soviet Union. The overall economic situation is still very serious. The living standards of the people have declined a lot compared to before the collapse of the former Soviet Union and are still in a recovery period.

In addition, the former Soviet Union adopted the model of heavy industry as the main body and the cooperation between various franchised republics, which made all countries show a state of breaking industrial chains in the industry. It is quite difficult to restore the integrity of these industries and will be opposed by some nationalists.

Although Kazakhstan should be in better condition than its surrounding countries such as Russia, it is not as valued as Europe's geographical locations as the Baltic Three Kingdoms, nor is it as Azerbaijan's large-scale policy opening to European and American capital, which has quickly revived the economy by relying on the oil and gas industry.

The leaders of Kazakhstan should have a very forward-looking and foresighted attitude. They are aware of the current difficulties facing Kazakhstan's economy and the necessity and importance of opening up to the outside world to attract foreign capital and technology to revitalize the economy. They also know that state-owned oil and gas resources, as valuable assets, cannot be completely faked with others, and the country must play an important role in it.

"It's also very urgent, but they can't do anything about it now." You Wangang sighed, "Zhengyang, it seems you have an idea?"

"Of course, I once said that Changhe Energy Group's strategy of going global should not be limited to the oil and gas field itself, but should also consider driving the entire Hanchuan economy outward. I have also conducted an investigation on the infrastructure construction and municipal facilities construction in Akjiu Pennsylvania these days. It should be said that most of the original foundations are still there, but since the 1980s, it has basically not been improved and repaired. Basic living facilities such as roads and water supply are very backward and are even unbearable to use. Just look at our so-called best hotel in Akjiu City."

You Wangang's eyes lit up and nodded slightly. He had already heard the hidden meaning in Sha Zhengyang's words and signaled the other party to continue with his eyes.

"I observed and found that there are many industries in Kazakhstan that are actually complementary to our country, such as agriculture. Vegetable planting is extremely backward, but the land resources are extremely abundant, large areas of land are abandoned, and they have never even been developed. This may have a lot to do with the small population of Kazakhstan. But more importantly, there is no tradition and history of growing vegetables here, so there is no such technology."

Sha Zhengyang talked with confidence.

"Our vegetable planting industry in Hanchuan is very developed. I originally set up a greenhouse vegetable planting base in the Jiuying area of ​​Zhenyang. It is estimated that it will take shape this year. Many local farmers themselves have the tradition of growing vegetables. With the guidance of the Provincial Department of Agriculture, the construction of this base and the completion of a large-scale vegetable trading market can drive the development of tens of thousands of acres of vegetable bases in the entire Jiuying area. This is also a key planning layout of the Zhenyang County Government."

You Wangang is not in charge of agriculture, so he doesn’t know much about this.

He knew that Sha Zhengyang's reputation in Zhenyang has always been famous for attracting investment and introducing a large number of foreign investment and industrial projects.

For example, the Huatai air conditioning project, even the Provincial Director Wang is very optimistic. For example, the Philips movement project, Sanyo's driver and micro motor projects have all become examples, and of course, it also includes Pepsi and Simplao's agricultural planting projects. This is also very famous, but it is actually a deep processing project for agricultural products.

But he didn't expect that Sha Zhengyang could actually take charge of the greenhouse vegetable project himself, and even won the strong support of the Provincial Department of Agriculture. It seemed that the scale was not small.

"What do you mean is that we can go out to develop in Kazakhstan in the area of ​​agriculture in Hanchuan Province?" You Wangang rubbed his jaw and said slowly.

For You Wangang, he certainly would not be satisfied with his life as the vice-province chief. In his prime, he also hoped to be able to perform his talents on a larger stage. So why did he want to take off his position as secretary of the Party Committee and chairman of Changhe Energy Group earlier?

In the eyes of many people, they can serve as the i Secretary of the Party Committee of Changhe Energy Group. The chairman is a symbol of power and strength. However, for leaders of his level, holding a position in the enterprise is actually not very meaningful, and it will even become a kind of constraint.

Only by throwing away the constraints of corporate positions can he look at problems from a different perspective, and the province will also regard him as a complete provincial leader to play a role, instead of thinking about him being an enterprise leader from time to time, which outsiders do not quite understand the mystery of this.

"Of course, I think so, and I think it is feasible." Sha Zhengyang pondered for a moment, as if he was considering his words, "If we can win the Akjiubin Oil Company project, then there will definitely be a management team here. In addition, if we want to start the exploration and exploitation of the Kenkiyak Salt Oilfield Project, there will definitely be a relatively large engineering and technical team to come. I estimate that the two will have hundreds of people in total. Of course, this is not worth mentioning from the Akjiubin Oil Company's more than 8,000 workers, but their living needs must also be taken into account."

Sha Zhengyang obviously has thought about this issue carefully, so every point is about the point.

"What's more, I also saw that Akjiubin actually has a large demand for vegetables, and even the entire Kazakhstan and even the surrounding Russia have a large demand for vegetables. But in fact, the land and hydrothermal resources here can be used to develop the greenhouse vegetable industry. However, the locals in Kazakhstan may not have the tradition and history of planting, and lack financial and technical experience. Or they are not used to engaging in this industry. I think this is exactly the opportunity and advantage of our Hanchuan agricultural industrialization."

You Wangang nodded slightly, and he was also seriously considering this issue.

In fact, as the leader of Hanchuan state-owned enterprises, Changhe Energy Group, which Sha Zhengyang mentioned just now, not only must shoulder the heavy responsibility of the company itself, but also should also assume the responsibility of driving the entire Hanchuan economy outward. There is no doubt that the current situation in driving the agricultural field to develop in Kazakhstan is a very good opportunity.

Youwangang believes that Kazakhstan is afraid that China's investment and development in agriculture, especially vegetable cultivation will be more popular than Chinese companies' investment in the oil and gas field.

Because they have no worries about investment in the oil and gas field, they belong to the seller's market. However, the vegetable planting industry is the most needed and lacking in the local people, but other countries' capital is not much interested in this area, especially for small and medium-sized investments, the only problem that may need to be solved is the land leasing problem.
