In this way, large-scale steel plates were loaded into containers from Hebei, and as the China-Europe train entered Uzbekistan, various equipment was queued up in Horgos. Xinli's hands were extremely busy every day.
This time Ji Donglai just found a shareholder from Uzbekistan for a symbolic purpose. The Youdusi family holds 5% of the shares, Xinli holds 1% of the shares, and the rest is all Yishi Investment, which is Ji Dong. come shares.
Turning to the pump company, Yuan Dingcheng holds 2% of the shares, and the rest is all invested by Yishi.
"Brother, I really have you. It's better to come early than to come by chance. They say that your brother is the reincarnation of Shen Wansan, which is absolutely reasonable. You can leave the factory and other things to me to build, and there will be no problem."
It took Ji Donglai three months to get the land that so many people had talked about but couldn't get, and everyone was envious of it.
The location is advantageous. After it is built, it will be rented directly to these domestic bosses. Not to mention, the bosses who came here to mine for gold from the south just looked at the renderings and handed it to Ji Donglai. The rent will start in three years, and the initial construction costs will be enough. .
"Brother, I will leave the rest of the work to you. I am completely assured of your existence and don't let our company's shareholders down. Most of my energy still needs to be put on the glass wool factory. Now I study every day. There are a lot of people, please understand and call me if you need anything!"
Looking at the busy construction site, Ji Donglai took a few symbolic glances and simply returned to Jizzak.
After all, as Party A, he is here and the other party can't let go. Ji Donglai can tolerate it as long as it's not a major violation of the rules. This is how they make money with each other.
"Brother, don't leave in a hurry. I have something to ask you to advise me. You are an expert in industry. You are the most capable of the industrial talents I know. I have a small project with a few shareholders. We are not very good at it. I understand, come here and give me a look, please..."
Seeing Ji Donglai wanting to leave, Yu Dahe quickly stopped him with pleading in his eyes.
Ji Donglai didn't think much about it. After all, we were partners. We might work together in many industries in the future, so he agreed directly.
Several people drove off early the next morning, but what Ji Donglai didn't expect was that Ran Bo drove for nine hours before following the convoy to the place.
Although this place is also in Uzbekistan, it is in the westernmost part of Uzbekistan, the Republic of Karakakstan.
According to historical records, this country was originally an independent country. Later, after the collapse of the former Soviet Union, several countries discussed merging together and established the Republic of Uzbekistan.
When Ji Donglai came to Uzbekistan, he felt like he had entered Gansu, but after arriving in Karakapakstan, Ji Donglai felt like he had entered Taklimakan.
There is a large area of wasteland from the east to the west. Only Nukus is a relatively large city in the west, and there are Soviet-style buildings everywhere. The low-rise bungalows and the roads were not good. Residents passing by, driving donkeys and pulling buckets, looked at Ji Donglai's group with dull expressions on their faces.
Occasionally, local children riding donkeys and herds of sheep passed by, but there were very few cattle.
The project Yu Dahe was talking about was originally a walled area. It can be seen that it should have been a factory in this country before. It was abandoned. This time it was taken over by Yu Dahe and others.
There is a row of small bungalows in the yard. When Ji Donglai saw everyone coming in, several people came out of the house. The leader was a tall Chinese man with small eyes, a pointed chin, and a somewhat curled tongue.
"Mr. Ji, this is our Mr. Gu, my partner. Mr. Gu Liping is responsible for the construction and overall operation of this project. From the inspection to the implementation of our project, Mr. Gu has done the most great work. Now Mr. Gu is working with the local government Communication allows us to build various facilities.”
Yu Dahe introduced Ji Donglai and Gu Liping to each other. Ji Donglai was keenly aware that when Gu Liping saw him, his eyes were full of alertness.
But as a friend, Ji Donglai came for Yu Dahe, so he didn't care.
"Mr. Gu, when do we plan to start construction of this project and when will it be completed? Should we Chinese do it ourselves, or should we hire local people to do it?"
Walking on this land with some slopes, Ji Donglai carefully inspected every inch of the land, especially the buckets placed in front of the bungalow, where a few workers occasionally came out to fetch water.
Looking at the local people using donkeys to pull water, Ji Donglai kept thinking in his mind.
"Construction will start in one month and will be completed in April next year. Equipment testing, the entire production line, and trial production are all possible. We have professional people to do it. This papermaking production line is very advanced in our country. , it’s definitely enough to come here.”
Facing Ji Donglai, Gu Liping was full of clichés, and Ji Donglai smacked his mouth.
"How many production lines are there? What are the raw materials for our paper making?"
After lighting up a cigarette, Ji Donglai offered one to Yu Dahe, who didn't smoke. He offered to Gu Liping, who didn't smoke either. Ji Donglai continued to make plans.
"The tentative plan is to set a line and plan to produce 30 tons of toilet paper and toilet paper every month..."
"Well?!"
Gu Liping was talking non-stop. Ji Donglai immediately realized the problem and looked at Yu Dahe. He knew something was going on and came over quickly.
"Brother Yu, have you noticed that people here use water to clean their butts when going to the toilet, and don't use toilet paper? Isn't it a bit difficult for you to produce and sell them?"
Having been here for such a long time, Ji Donglai is fully aware of the differences in living habits between his own nation and those of the other party. When going to the toilet, both men and women wash themselves with water.
Toilet paper? There is no such thing here.
"We also produce napkins. People here eat greasy food, so the amount used is quite large."
Before Yu Dahe could answer, Gu Liping took over the conversation again, and Ji Donglai took a puff of cigarette.
"Have you noticed? People here eat those knife-cut sachets. When eating, they habitually wipe all the grease on the plate with the sachet and eat it. Almost all the grease on their mouths is wiped off with the sachet. Is there anything left about the napkin?"
"If there are more, I don't think the volume is particularly large. It would be a good idea to export to Russia. After all, the tariffs here with Moscow are very low, or even non-existent."
Even though they were friends, Ji Donglai had just stopped, and now Gu Liping's face was already ugly.
Yu Dahe looked at Gu Liping, and his heart began to beat at this time.
"The living habits of the five Central Asian countries are different, and most people are still accustomed to using toilet paper. In addition, we can export to China and export to Europe westward, absolutely no problem, this is not a problem. And our local raw materials are very abundant. , it is very easy to produce, and the price can be as low as the floor.”
No one was happy when questions were raised.
