Struggle in Russia - Vol 3 Chapter 898

Muravyov had heard Li Xiao talk about the investment in Wallachia before, and he took it too seriously. After all, the Russians these days don’t know much about industry, and they think that opening a small workshop is considered a factory. .
Naturally, little is known about the earning power of industry, and it seems unlikely that such a thing could be profitable, but that it was too probable.
Even if the most staunch reformists in Russia are most concerned about the land issue, for a backward agricultural country like Russia, this is the lifeblood.
Therefore, when it comes to the reform of Alexander II, the first thing that comes to mind is the abolition of the serf system, and to put it bluntly, the land issue is also solved.
But is something of this level very abrupt to the great powers in the mid-19th century?
During the same period of Alexander II’s reform, the Civil War broke out in the United States, and slavery was also abolished. It can be seen that the starting point of these two countries is completely the same. It can be said that one by one, the big and beautiful country can hang and beat the backward old Maozi.
After that, the rapid industrialization of the beautiful country gradually caught up with France and the United Kingdom. In the early 20th century, it became a country second to none in the world’s economic and industrial capacity.
And what about the Russians? When the Russo-Japanese War broke out, we could only talk about sporadic industrial capabilities. The Navy had to rely on foreign aid to build ships and even the Army to build rifles. That’s a star and a half.
Lao Maozi is turning into an industrial country, and he has to rely on the iron and steel father, who pushes forward with an iron fist. It is estimated that Maozi is still living around farming and selling food and oil and coal!
Therefore, the industrial thinking is generally backward, even the most radical reformers of this year are only staring at one acre of land, and they have no time to pay attention to it.
People like Li Xiao who went ahead and started to lay out the industry early are very rare in Russia these days. Naturally, the money they made also greatly shocked the knowledgeable Muravyov.
Asked with suspicion and confidence: “So to make money? Remember Wallachia and less farms?”
Li Xiao also said that Boris laughed: “How much money can you make by shaving food in the soil? How much can you make a lot of land in Wallachia?”
Waiting for Muravyov to speak, he explained happily: “All this money is made by investing in railways, oil refineries and arms business, and it has nothing to do with farming!”
Muravyov was stunned, because Boris’s words exceeded his understanding. From childhood to most people, he has been told that land is the most important wealth, but now people tell that doing industry is more profitable than farming, which is less acceptable.
Li Xiao naturally saw Muravyov’s confusion, and Ma explained: “My friend, you need to be too surprised. Running a factory is more profitable than farming. If you take a look at London, Liverpool, Manchester, you will know that the magic of industry is great. Come on… To be honest, these can only be considered petty troubles, compared to the British, it’s like a child!”
Looking into Muravyov’s eyes, he continued to say very seriously: “If we hurry up, I am afraid that the British will be thrown farther and farther away, then wanting to take revenge is nothing short of a fantasy!”
Muravyov took a deep breath, knowing that Li Xiao would deceive and he would deceive, and he was immediately wrapped in a sense of urgency, because according to someone’s statement, the land is now compared with the United Kingdom, and others have stopped resting, while his own motherland But before he still has his feet, it means that the gap will only get bigger and bigger, how can this be achieved!
Immediately asked: “Grand Duke Pavilion, please let me know what kind of factory you are going to set up next, and I would like to invest if it is convenient!”
Li Xiao laughed, Alexei laughed, and Vishniak and Boris also laughed. Sure enough, they misunderstood Muravyov, this man is just like us!
“Don’t worry, the opportunity is very good. We are going to open a new arsenal. If you are interested, you can inspect it and decide to invest together!”
Muravyov is a little strange, because according to Alexei’s bill, the most profitable business in Wallachia is actually refining oil and selling kerosene.

Such a good business has been carried forward, why did someone come back to China to do this business in the first place?
Alexey explained with a wry smile: “We want to do it, but we can, according to the agreement we reached with Duke Mikhail before, we can invest 10% of the annual dividends in our oil extraction and refinery, but we can The kerosene produced in Wallachia is sold in Russia, and oil is extracted and refined in Russia within five years.”
Muravyov immediately understood that this exchange of interests and the current situation in Russia, although a little helpless but understandable, and Duke Mikhail’s food looks pretty good, after all, according to the methods of some domestic uncles, a hair It’s easy to draw a white ticket.
Only Leonid interjected: “Actually, I think this is very reasonable. Obviously, they have the skills and enough funds. They need uncles to do this business. I said before that they need to be cautious. ~www.mtlnovel.com~ When doing business, you should talk about the rules of doing business, I like this way of doing it!”
Muravyov sighed, he knew what Leonid was talking about for a long time, and now it looks really stunned. Doing business in Russia, especially such a profitable business, is not that easy.
To put it politely, even with the technical funds, it would be impossible to do it alone without Duke Mikhail. Only Duke Mikhail can do this kind of business. This is the status quo in Russia!
What to say, because I also like this status quo, although I think Leonid is a little bit more, but I support it.
Li Xiao patted Leonid on the shoulder and sighed: “My friend, thank you for your kindness. But the matter is so simple, only your uncle can handle this business, and only you can do it. To be honest, the point of oil extraction and kerosene production is too low-level, and to the current state of the country, kerosene is a necessary material, let’s do something more critical and meaningful!”
Waiting for Leonid to speak, he hurriedly said: “In addition to the arsenal, the most important thing is steel. We are going to import technology from the United Kingdom to build a large-scale modern steelmaking plant. Are you interested?”
