City’s Best Divine Doctor

When Boss Zhong had dinner prepared for everyone, Ye Qiu and Zhou Wenting went over and saw quite a few people there, including Chinese and Russians.

People here value interpersonal relationships the most and are adept at forming connections.

Obviously, the Chinese who came here were the same because, after all, they are not the owners here and would have to consult with the local authorities before doing anything.

"Ye Qiu, these gentlemen are also local officials," Boss Zhong said.

The locals speak Russian fluently, and it takes more than a dozen words to get through.

Of course, writing in Russian takes a lot less time.

Ye Qiu can speak Russian, and yesterday Boss Zhong and his group found out, so Ye Qiu had engaged in a simple Russian exchange with them.

After lunch, since Ye Qiu was not treating people that afternoon, and the weather was relatively good, they decided to go out and have a look around.

"Wenting, do you want to stay in the room or go out with me?"

"I’ll go out with you."

Although wearing such a thick military coat was a bit cumbersome and it was cold outside, Zhou Wenting still followed Ye Qiu out.

"Ye Qiu, if you want to go out, I can take you out for a look."

After leaving the dining area, the local Russian officials had left, leaving only Boss Zhong and a few others.

Now they got into that Toyota Prado.

In Siberia, vehicles like this East Ocean car are most common because of their high chassis and strong power, making them easy to drive. Ordinary cars with low chassis are only suitable for highways; otherwise, they can’t be driven here.

Moreover, in this cold weather, gasoline tends to solidify.

At present, it takes a couple of minutes to start up a car properly.

Once in the car, Boss Zhong prepared to take Ye Qiu and the others to see the mammoth ivory they were excavating.

Actually, this kind of illegal excavation does not have a fixed time.

Of course, in summer when the weather is good and it’s not as cold, the work would be easier.

But mammoth tusks are from thousands of years ago, buried underground, and if they are discovered, they would certainly be quickly dug up. Otherwise, if left for later excavation, others might come and dig them out instead.

Generally, aside from using some machinery to help, the excavation mainly relies on manual labor because much of it is chaotic collapse type.

Ye Qiu was trying to figure out the source of an unknown virus.

"Ye Qiu, now I’ll take you to look at the work site."

"Excavating mammoth ivory?" Ye Qiu asked.

Boss Zhong nodded.

Obviously, Boss Zhong was very familiar with the local authorities here, the Russian officials, and had no concern whatsoever.

Moreover, this place is vast and sparsely populated, with just over 30 million people spread out over tens of millions of square kilometers, so within a few kilometers, or even hundreds of kilometers, one often doesn’t encounter another person.

Aside from this, the area is richly resourced.

Coal, iron ore resources, even diamond resources, etc.

But these resources are monopolized by the Russian oligarchs, so ordinary people can’t participate.

If Boss Zhong were able to involve in these, he wouldn’t have to rely on mammoth ivory to make money.

"There’s really a lot of money to be made here, especially easy, the key is in building relationships. Like the timber here, much of it hasn’t been cut for centuries, generations. Using it for home furnishings is really great; it’s true solid wood furniture. Moreover, there’s iron ore, coal, even gold, diamonds, jade, and more here, but almost all are monopolized by Russian oligarchs."

Timber?

Coal?

Gold?

Diamonds?

There are also large farms, lands, all undeveloped, with black soil underneath.

Due to the lack of sunshine.

So, the land here is very fertile, but crops grown here typically ripen once a year, or two to three times every two years, unlike in tropical regions where they ripen three times a year.

However, due to the undeveloped land, it is very fertile, and these crops don’t need fertilizers; just weeding would suffice.

Now there are many Korean and East Ocean investors renting land here to grow large quantities of crops and then buy them back to their countries.

In fact, there are farm groups from Northeast domestically renting land here to cultivate.

Things like this require significant financial resources.

Boss Zhong has been involved here for many years but is mostly in small ventures; his assets might add up to two or three hundred million.

However, even this sum doesn’t enable much.

Furthermore, things like excavating mammoth ivory are incredibly lucrative; once discovered and excavated, processing and shipping them back domestically for sale within circles, or shipping them back for further domestic processing and sales, for instance.

The issue is that collaboration with locals is necessary, and roughly a third of the profits are earned, while the rest goes to Russians.

But given this situation, Boss Zhong knows that he can’t take it all for himself.

"There really is a lot of business here; the key question is whether the locals can be trusted?" Ye Qiu asked.

"It’s hard to say. Some are very trustworthy, yet there are those who might agree today and change tomorrow. The key is your capability here; knowing high-ranking local officials often means those folks dare not really sabotage things."

If that’s the case, Ye Qiu understood.

It seems similar to the current domestic situation.

Here, without saying it, Ye Qiu already knows the resources are indeed very abundant; converting a portion to products for domestic or elsewhere sales would be excellent.

"How about over in Alaska?"

"Ye Qiu, you’re talking about Alaska; it’s across from Siberia, just over the Bering Strait is Alaska, but it’s America, entirely different from here. Over there, environmental conservation is more stringent, and often, networking doesn’t work like here."

With that explanation, Ye Qiu understood.

Alaska belongs to America and is certainly governed by them.

Of course, there are many mammoth tusks there too, but if Boss Zhong dared to excavate there, it would be self-destructive. Environmental protection organizations would find out, likely resulting in fines leading to bankruptcy, and networking wouldn’t be an option.

Ye Qiu did not say more, and his gaze turned outside, where everything was blanketed in white. The vehicle was running on anti-skid tires, kicking up snowflakes.

Occasionally, wild deer, foxes, and other animals could be seen walking along the road, watching the speeding vehicle with caution.

"Ye Qiu, that fox is beautiful."

There are many kinds of foxes here, like clear fox, white fox, red fox, etc. For instance, the white foxes are truly entirely white.

After so many years here, Boss Zhong has seen quite a few.
