Supreme Golden Eyes - Chapter 457 Ulaanbaatar

After resting in the hotel for a while, several employees proposed to take a good look at the city of Ulaanbaatar before the negotiation officially started, go to the shopping mall here, and experience the consumption and daily life of the Mongolians. Ling Shaonan thinks There is nothing wrong with the left and right now, so he nodded and agreed. He just took this opportunity to buy some gifts for his family to take back, just like he used to do every time he went out. ┗ #_ ┛

Because they wanted to go shopping, the group did not take a car, but chose to walk, and the mighty dozens of people seemed very cool.Walking on the street, Ling Shaonan's thinking still didn't stop, especially when he saw Rolls-Royce, Mercedes-Benz and other luxury cars running all over the street, and then looked at Mongolia's extremely poor infrastructure, he was very impressed by the officialdom here. The level of understanding is deeper.

However, this is a good thing for him. Lingtian Investment Group invests here for sure, but it should be used as a threat to fight for some privileges. For example, the right to fly in the air must be guaranteed at least. Two years after the delivery of his private jet, he will be free to fly over Mongolia.Of course, this is not a difficult task. The government officials in Mongolia are very independent, and they only need to pay a small amount of investment to get these things done.

And once Lingtian Investment Group has gained a firm foothold in Mongolia, what to do is up to him.

…………

Ulaanbaatar used to be called Kulun. The name was changed only after the founding of the Communist Party of China, which is the same reason that the Koreans changed Seoul to Seoul a few years later.

Ulaanbaatar is built on the hilly land between the mountains. The buildings on the main streets have a strong Russian flavor and are very elegant. Generally, they have three to five floors, and the tallest buildings in the city are only a dozen floors.There is a grand square in the center of the city, and there is a shopping mall in the business district that is exactly the same as the Beijing Wangfujing Department Store. Even the stone used for the stair railings is the same, and it is said that the same blueprint was used.

The new residential areas in Ulaanbaatar are rising. In contrast, the buildings in the 80s and [-]s are very similar to the five or six-story buildings built in China at the same time. Although the buildings in the earlier era are very old, they are carefully It looks very elegant, and there are a lot of low houses built on the slopes, with many yurts sandwiched between them.

A little out of the urban area, large tracts of mountain pastures suddenly rush in. The grass is not high, and the livestock are free to eat. The animal husbandry in Mongolia is basically in a state of natural grazing. On weekends, there are often places with good scenery on the grasslands. People drive out to play.

Compared with the 80 population of the capital, there are quite a lot of cars in Ulaanbaatar. All the cars on the streets are foreign cars, especially Korean second-hand cars.

Because Mongolia basically does not have its own manufacturing industry, the three pillars of the economy are mining, agriculture, animal husbandry and retail.Due to the small number of people and relatively rich natural resources per capita, a lot of wood is used for housing here, and trees are cut down casually.

In addition, although the precipitation in Ulaanbaatar is very small, there is no shortage of water. The water in several rivers is abundant and clear.Except in the city center, the land used by Mongolians to build houses is basically unlimited, and it is easy to get government approval.

Ulaanbaatar is a capital with a relatively high latitude and altitude, and is located deep inland, so the winter is long, but its summer is cool and charming. The day is very long, and the sky is still bright at nine o'clock in the evening.It's just that the shopping malls in Ulaanbaatar close earlier, and the department stores get off work at eight o'clock in the evening.

It is difficult to make a conclusion about the living standards of Mongolians. The average monthly salary of Mongolian civil servants is about [-] US dollars, and taxi drivers can earn [-] US dollars a month, but everyone's actual life seems to be better than this figure reflects.

According to Xu Yan, Mongolia’s gdp data and per capita income may be lowered by the Mongolians themselves. The purpose is to get more economic assistance from Western countries. In fact, the Mongolians themselves also think that their current life is relatively low. Previous years were much better.

"The urban population of Mongolia is highly educated, and many people who have traveled abroad are generally well-informed. I once went to a herdsman family in a pastoral area. In addition to the old couple, there were four daughters, two of whom were abroad. The yurt The walls are covered with photos taken by my daughters all over the world.” A staff member who once stayed in Mongolia said to the crowd: “The living habits of people in Ulaanbaatar are greatly influenced by Russia, although the food structure is still the same. Mongolian people, but the tableware and eating methods are all Western style."

Ling Shaonan and the others were strolling on the street. Although they didn't meet beggars, there were many children selling small commodities in tourist spots. Some of them pestered customers to ask for purchases, and they couldn't be chased away, just like in some tourist areas in China.

"This is the biggest shopping mall in Ulaanbaatar?!" Seeing the scene in front of him, Ling Shaonan couldn't help but widen his eyes and the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.

Although he said that he had no extravagant hopes for the people's livelihood in Mongolia, when he saw the largest shopping mall in Ulaanbaatar, Fan Wubing still felt that he had overestimated them.

The building in front of me, although it looks quite big and strong, and the exterior decoration is also marble veneer, but no matter how you look at it, it looks like a Soviet-style building style in the 50s. It is heavy and dilapidated. It was also influenced by the Soviet Union. In Huaxia, which has a great influence, such buildings have already been swept into the garbage dump of history, and have become old photos recording historical changes.

"That's right, this is the largest shopping mall in Ulaanbaatar, and it is also one of the first batch of large-scale buildings that our country assisted Mongolia in the 50s during the friendship between China and the Soviet Union." A little helpless, he explained to Ling Shaonan with a strange expression.

In the 50s, Huaxia sent more than 2 people to assist Mongolia twice. With their help, factories in Mongolia sprang up, and roads ran through all parts of Mongolia. Many economic projects that Mongolia urgently needed to develop were located in Mongolia. It was completed with the help of Huaxia workers.

But after China and the Soviet Union turned against each other, Mongolia immediately stood on the side of the Soviet Union without hesitation, and turned around to deal with China.

For decades, Russia's influence on Mongolia has penetrated into all levels of politics, economy and culture.Take language as an example. After independence, Mongolia promoted Russian-language education, and Russian was widely used in the upper class of society. Children of the rich and powerful went to study in the Soviet Union, and Mongolian culture and traditions were gradually disappearing.

Now, the official language of Mongolia is Khalkha Mongolian, and the Cyrillic alphabet created by the Slavs is used for writing. Those who are familiar with linguistics will know that the Russian language uses this alphabet, and the same family and the same root The traditional Mongolian language is still used in Inner Mongolia. Although the languages ​​of Inner Mongolia and Inner Mongolia still sound similar, translation is needed for real communication.What's more serious is that in Mongolia today, there are not many people who can even speak this "pseudo-Mongolian language", but Russian has become their mother tongue. This is a very sad thing .

The territory of China in the Qin and Han Dynasties stretched from the Altai Mountains in the west to Lake Baikal in the north and the Ergun River in the east.At that time, the Mongolian nation had not yet formed. In the Tang Dynasty, the state capital began to be set up there, and direct jurisdiction was implemented.In the Song Dynasty, a branch of nomadic tribes in the north began to prosper. Genghis Khan unified the tribes in the desert and established a unified Mongolian Khanate. Soon, the Mongolians defeated the Song regime and established the Yuan Dynasty.After that, this sturdy and warlike nation marched into Central Asia, West Asia and even Europe, swept across the Caucasus, the Caspian Sea, and the coast of the Baltic Sea, and established the largest empire in the world at that time.

The establishment of the Yuan Dynasty further integrated the Mongolian and Han nationalities and became an important part of Chinese civilization.Not long after the Revolution of [-] overthrew the Qing government, China entered the era of warlord separatism, and various provinces or regions declared independence one after another. Outer Mongolia also took the opportunity to join this process, and the driving force behind it was Tsarist Russia.

At the beginning, Tsarist Russia also recognized Outer Mongolia as Chinese territory, but only demanded that Outer Mongolia be autonomous. However, during the peace talks between the two sides, Duan Qirui’s government sent General Xu Shuzheng to lead troops into Outer Mongolia, forcing Outer Mongolia to give up its autonomy by force.

Unexpectedly, the Duan Qirui regime collapsed in the second year, and a group of bandits from Tsarist Russia supported the princes and nobles of Outer Mongolia to drive the Chinese army out of the capital Kulun.Another year later, with the help of the Soviet Army, the troops of the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party attacked the Chinese army in the rest of the country. The Chinese army has never entered Outer Mongolia since then, but the Soviet army has been stationed in Mongolia until 1986.

Looking at everything in front of him, Ling Shaonan couldn't help shaking his head: "Our country used to provide too much aid to these white-eyed wolves. When the people in the country were still hungry, we spent a lot of money on them. Now that we are here, it cannot be said that it is not a failure, in fact we have not received any substantial rewards, if it were me, I would definitely not do these big and inappropriate things.”

China is very poor, this is what every leader has said, but at the same time, the amount and amount of China's foreign aid is also jaw-dropping.

Since the end of the 50s, aiding North Korea, aiding Vietnam, aiding Cuba, aiding Pakistan, aiding Cambodian Khmer Rouge, aiding Mongolia, aiding Albania, aiding Tanzania and "African brothers", the government has provided too much aid, and every time All have huge funds.

It is said that the Prime Minister of Pakistan visited China and asked China for assistance.At that time, Huaxia was not rich, so the prime minister decided to give 5000 million after consideration, but when he showed the report to the chairman, he added a zero after it.
