He graduated from the highest university in Ukraine and has been involved in agriculture for 30 years. He has grown from a young man to a middle-aged man.
Because he has a calm personality and can endure loneliness, he has been working on the front line of agriculture for so many years and has become Ukraine's leading agricultural expert.
What he is best at is rice cultivation, and then some vegetables.
In terms of rice, he is not just good at unique varieties such as Ukrainian triangular rice. He also has profound research foundation on Russian varieties, Spanish varieties, and even rice seeds from China, Vietnam, and Thailand.
However, the geographical environment of Ukraine is not suitable for tropical seeds, so he failed to apply those high-yielding rice seeds to Ukrainian rice.
But with decades of research, he has made considerable achievements in improving rice seeds in Ukraine. On the millions of acres of rice planting land under his management, the yield has increased by 82% in the past fifteen years, which can be described as a feat.
excellence.
It is a pity that although Ukraine is founded on agriculture, agriculture is not taken seriously. Those government officials prefer a very simple and crude business that can make money quickly, and it is the best that can make profits for themselves.
Agricultural production is cumbersome and time-consuming, and it depends on God's grace, and every move is watched, so Ukrainian government officials, who just support agricultural production, don't pay attention to it.
Even agricultural experts like Krarov’s salary is only 2,700 euros per month, less than one-tenth of that of American experts.
Of course, Krarov is definitely considered a high-income earner in Ukraine. The average monthly salary in Ukraine is only 600 euros, so he is living a good life.
But all this life slowly changed after the financial crisis.
Ukraine's economy is already very fragile. Agriculture can only be the foundation of the country. But it is definitely not the foundation of the country's rejuvenation, so once their finances are impacted, various industries will also be affected.
The same is true for agriculture. European countries that have also been hit are not opposed to importing more food, but they are not as picky as before. They are also willing to import cheaper African and Asian food. Not only
I like Ukraine.
The labor costs in Ukraine are definitely much worse than those in Asia and Africa.
In addition to a high basic living standard, what's more important is that people generally have two crops of rice, and those near the equator have three crops a year. Ukraine is originally from a cold area, so having one crop a year is good.
, the output is at most one-third of others, how can you compete with them?
Therefore, in the past two years, Ukraine's agricultural exports have been greatly affected, and even farmers are suffering. Not to mention agricultural experts like Krarov.
The company he works for has been losing money for two years, so the salaries of experts have also been significantly cut.
Krarov is one of the best talents, but as of December 2009, his salary was only 1,200 euros, less than half of what it was before.
Originally, he could still live in such a life, and his life would not be much worse, but he did not expect that in December 2009, just before the New Year, the Fairy Farm Company in China suddenly entrusted his boss to
A friend came to his door and invited him to work in China.
Krarov is no stranger to China. There have been many exchanges between China and Ukraine in recent years, and he has also been to China to see the agricultural production there. But he has never thought of working in China.
After all, he is also 56 years old, so old. He usually dislikes fluctuations in life and prefers stability.
However, what Krarov did not expect was that Fairy Farm would give him a salary of 50,000 euros a month, 20 months of salary per year. If he made outstanding achievements, the bonus would be at least 1 million euros!
Even many experts in the United States cannot get such a high salary. Even the boss of his current company only gets a little more than this in a year.
However, after much consideration, Krarov still refused, not only because he loved his family, but also because the contract required a 10-year contract and he was very unwilling to live abroad for 10 years.
But Krarov's wife and children were moved. His wife was originally a housewife with no income, and his two sons and a daughter are now semi-employed. Their combined salary in one month is less than that of his father.
people's salary.
Not only did Fairy Farm promise to give Krarov such a high salary, it was also willing to let them work and live there. Although the salary was not that high, it started at least two to three thousand euros. Such generous treatment immediately made the family feel that it was too generous.
Already.
Moreover, the situation in Ukraine has been constantly changing in the past two years, and the security issue is also very troublesome. They have long heard that China is very stable and very polite to foreigners. Well, this is what Krarov said after returning from China.
Yes, it seems to be a bit of a cocoon.
The company that China invited them to was not a small company with no credit guarantee, but a subsidiary of Fairy Company!
Who doesn’t know Fairy Company?
The company of Xiao Qi, the world's richest man, has assets worth trillions of dollars and has always been known for its wealth. There is no need to worry about not fulfilling its promise after deceiving people!
There is also a fairy store in Ukraine. All Ukrainians working there are the envy of their compatriots. In addition to longer working hours, their salaries and benefits are among the best in Ukraine. I don’t know how many people want to
I want to be like them and work in the Fairy Direct Store!
Being able to move away from this place that no one misses much anymore and have a new and prosperous life. Moreover, there are only dozens of Ukrainians working in the fairy farm. They will not feel lonely, so they
I started lobbying day and night, with only one purpose, and that was to get my father to accept the contract and go to work in China.
Yes.
The first factor in the generous conditions that Fairy Farm provides to this family is naturally Krarov, an agricultural expert.
If he doesn't go, this family's good life will not be realized!
In the end, Krarov could only succumb to the opinions of his family and signed a work contract with Fairy Farm. After a brief tidying up, he came to China at the end of January after the New Year of 2010 and arrived at Fairy Farm in Caiyun.
agricultural base.
Fairy Farm has its own agricultural bases in China and Southeast Asia, but few people know that although Fairy Farm has aggressively established farms in Myanmar, Vietnam, Thailand and other places, in the final analysis, the focus of Fairy Farm’s development is still in itself.
domestic.
After all, no matter how nice it is outside, it is still other people's land. Although Fairy Farm is not afraid of trouble caused by local governments, when it comes to food security, the Chinese government will never let them run wild, but it is still not so reassuring after all.
Therefore, Caiyun, whose geographical environment is not much different from that of Southeast Asia, has become the key experimental base of Fairy Farm.
In the past two years, in addition to the post-earthquake reconstruction areas that must undertake the task, Fairy Farm has made very big moves in Caiyun.
Caiyun is a good place, with spring-like weather all year round and a subtropical monsoon climate, which is very suitable for the growth of crops.
But Caiyun has one of the biggest shortcomings, that is, it is located on a plateau with very complex terrain, and it was not suitable for farming for a long time.
In this regard, it is different from the Indochina countries below.
Although Caiyun is next to Myanmar and Laos, a little beyond that is Vietnam, and further down is Thailand, but it happens to be under the plateau. The geography is generally rainforest and plains, and there is also the river flowing down from the Lancang River on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau.
Irrigation is perfect for agricultural production.
But there is also one point. Once some areas in Caiyun are transformed into areas suitable for farming, it will be at least worth half of Myanmar or half of Thailand.
In that case, it is already very considerable, and it is more than enough to supply the entire area north of the Yangtze River.
Such benefits are not unknown to the agriculture sector, but China has been developing everywhere in recent years, and every sector is asking for money. Agriculture, a sector with a long development cycle and requiring a lot of investment, is naturally ranked first.
to the back.
Caiyun's development here costs at least three to five hundred billion yuan. After more than ten years of hard work, it has the capital to supply half of China.
Not to mention the manpower and policy support, just seeing so much time and money invested is enough to make the government give up its idea, at least now there is no condition to complete it.
Fortunately, there is Xiao Qi, a super rich man who doesn't care about temporary gains and losses.
From the beginning, when Xiao Qi and Caiyun cooperated, they only rented a part of the land and used it as a vegetable, meat, fruit and vegetable base. Moreover, these land fairy farms were not operated by themselves for the time being, but instead used the original farmers.
Great efforts have been made in agricultural guidance and inspection.
But as the cooperation deepened, Xiao Qi gradually revealed some of his big plan to Wang Zongsong, the deputy governor of Caiyun Province who he was familiar with.
Wang Zongsong was originally ranked around fifth in the Caiyun Provincial Government, but in the past two years due to Fairy Farm's investment in Caiyun Province, his status has risen a lot, and he is expected to be the next executive deputy governor.
But when he heard such a huge plan, he couldn't help but gasped, and quickly reported it to the provincial governor and secretary, asking them to decide what to do. (To be continued.)
