Chapter 12
It just needs to be looked at the digital map of the groundwater occurrence, the hydrogeological map...
Yeah... do we know how much they cost?
So one card will cost you $ 50,000!
What are you with oak fell?
What wild prices?
That we have a monopoly everywhere!
Well…
You need to ask Dilshodu...
Come ask!
...
Hey, Dilshodu, can we make a groundwater map?
In principle, such a function was laid in software, but now I can simply connect to the Obaki s.p.a.ce center there all my own, so in five minutes, you will have this card!
Obaki?
Yes, these are such cute j.a.panese ghosts!
They have their own monitoring center for 22,000 worlds, including Earth!
Cool!
This is all due to magical abilities!
Obaki in some way is also a type of microbes, and people simply see them as some kind of magical essence.
It is interesting!
But by the way, and the map!
This magic is a very useful thing, such a money saving!
Of course!
Well, there are maps on hand, let's see, Bro on the second section of Grandma, maybe we can find water there?
Let's try!
Then I will call the guys so that they come quickly and start work today in the morning.
Aha!
Bro then I will leave you with the work of drilling and placing my office in my house, but will you pay the tax and the communal flat yourself? Good!
Where should I place my office on the ground floor? And you could well build a collapsible office house... you could, but this is a waste of money.
So stir your office in the office, books can be transferred to the bas.e.m.e.nt. Will someone else work in your office? Five people work for me, three from China, two of your guys. One chauffeur and office part-time manager and another translator. But we have a main office in the capital, and in the representative office I will just live, well, sometimes my deputy will come, he is by the way Shanghai, they have their own culture, but in general a good guy.
Okay, settle down, figure it out yourself? Yes, my deputy will help me, you do not mind bro?
Gap nest! I have no words!
Okay then!
You yourself can be located in one of the two rooms on the second floor, they are not large, but you will save $ 1,500 per month for rent!
Already it sounds good. Living in hotels strained, a lot of extra ears and eyes. You know that almost all the hotels in the world have hidden cameras in the rooms?
Of course, this is a common thing! We also practice this.
The mirrors with video cameras, usually the bugs are located in the air ducts, they are masked under motion sensors, switches and sockets, light bulbs, bottles, wall clocks, pens...
You will not carry around with you always carry a portable station for jamming fuels and lubricants. This is unhealthy.
The usual civilian "bug" now writes audio and video remotely for 1-2 km, usually such a "bug" works from 1 to 4 years, without replacing the battery. Not to mention the special-purpose "bugs" that run for tens of kilometers.
There is a special equipment that can read the conversation through the pipes of heating, hot and cold water, through electrical wiring, not to mention the oscillation on the gla.s.s by the laser beam. In principle, already 10 years ago there were also cameras that could photograph a person through a wall 2 meters wide...
I have nothing of this! There is no radiation! Okay well
Not that word! What a good air! The river is near! Clean water will be soon! It's great!
There was a buzz of a motor.
Peace to you! Baraz and you peace!
How did you get there? How are children, like grandchildren? How is your health?
Yes, everything is fine, the children went to the ministry to work, and I took the grandchildren to school too. Now my grandson went to a Chinese school named Confucius, already learning Chinese and English.
Yes, this is a promising direction for the near future. For sure!
They used to think that it was Russian, and then how it became... English came out on top... but the world is constantly changing, the Russians were able to regain interest at least for a while and wiped the nose of the Western world. n.o.body expected this from them. Russian cool guys! They need to be considered...
Well, Baraz will go to a mountain village, let's see how they are doing there?
Of course, let's go.
By the way, Bro, they already put a small hydro? Today we had to bring and install, in fact, I forgot to tell you.
Well, when?
Apparently this morning! At 11 o'clock set!
Cool!
I also sketched a small project on the tourism business. Need to show the elderly.
I went, bye!
Successes you in affairs!
Mutually!
Baraz went.
Of course.
To the village was only 50 km. Baraz put on national music, and Dara worked on a laptop, a GIS software product MapInfo Prof. 16 v, well suited for his purposes.
Convenient program.
Slowly appeared maps of the area, a digital model of the area in 3D format with thematic layers superimposed on top - heights, forests, historical objects. The ruins of medieval caravanserai, feudal fortresses, castles, late medieval underground reservoirs.
As well as groups of petroglyphs of petroglyphs dating back to the late Holocene period. That is about 3,500 years ago, the time of the departure of the last glacier languages in this region, as well as the later period of antiquity, that is, 6th century BC. The drawings on the rocks differed in the manner of the image, such as the contour style, openwork and skeleton, as well as the tools that created these drawings.
On the other layer, there were visible areas with the sites of the fossilized black teeth of the sharks of the Tertiary Sea, which was also in the area, some 300,000 years ago, including the fossilized sh.e.l.ls. They could be found without much difficulty on the slopes of these low mountains.
Each historical artifact was a.s.sociated with an attribute database with reference information. The year of creation, the year of destruction, the destination, the architect on whose money the construction was carried out. How many people could live, what goods were brought, what goods were exchanged, prices for goods, what famous people pa.s.sed through this area. What kind of literature can be read about it. What was the food at the time, what was treated, what height is it, whether its status is included in the catalog of cultural heritage protection or not.
The next window showed a 3D photorealistic model of the terrain with a s.p.a.ce image of 10 meters high spatial resolution superimposed on top. One could have put 1 meter, but alas, there were restrictions on the resolution of satellite images in the country. Mode…
On this map one could see the laid new tourist routes, their degree of difficulty, foot, car, bicycle or horse. Every 5 km were designated food items. The location of the guest houses, the price for the night, the price for food.
Now it was necessary to coordinate these routes with the villagers, to create their own travel agency, which would be focused on educational, eco, culinary tourism. Choose a couple of tour operators, make travel insurance, open your bank account, register as a private entrepreneur, and then it's already village affairs. In principle, there are familiar tour operators in j.a.pan and China, so that they can organize groups of tourists to visit the village.
The main thing is what to see...
... it is interesting, it is useful. Especially now when the reform phase began. Now it is possible to carry out prospecting works on the territory of 1 ha, for this you simply need to register with the quarterly committee, pay state duty and go ahead. That is, the village committee can give permission for prospecting for mines. Tourists simply registering and paying a fee of $ 200 can try their luck. If they find gold, silver, turquoise, grenades or rubies, they can immediately sell them or get permission to export from the country.
By the way, in the mountains, there are such places, old mines for silver and a little further in the mountain gorge "Koni Tillo", which means the gold mine is an old mine, gold, 15th century, it was developed before the end of the 90s of the 20th century. Sometimes the village in the creek find nuggets
In the gorge "Yokity Surkh" which means ruby, sometimes small rubies of 1-2 carats are found at the rocky protrusions. Just at the administrative center near our scientific village, a reception center was recently opened, if you bring them to them, they will buy them for 70 percent of the market price. Very interesting project for tourists. Russian roulette. They can cut a good sum, if they are lucky, but if not, they will gain valuable experience, it is interesting.
You can offer an idea to the village, but of course they will decide everything themselves. Now many opportunities open up, it remains only to use them wisely!
Of course, it would be nice if there was a Roof. But not all at once!
So you can walk along the road on which caravans went from the 9th century AD to the 16th century, carried silk, cotton, armor, horses, precious stones, gold and silver, spices, gla.s.s and seeds, swords and clods, taming and dishes. Part of the Silk Road section of roads that were a.s.sociated with other known paths - Gold, Wool, Wax, Porcelain... The area has already been explored by a man for at least 5000 years! Whom these mountains just have not seen, great and proud emperors, cunning n.o.bles, hard-working peasants, brave mountaineers, brave nomads, they all sunk into oblivion of centuries. Only their descendants still live on this amazingly beautiful and rich land, but like hundreds of centuries ago, the clans inherit wealth, while ordinary people can simply live, but not splash in gold. Hedonism is alien to the common man, well, not all ordinary people live according to conscience, liking. But this is a separate song.
It's also cool to come to the Silk Road region, stop in a guest house in the village, see with your own eyes how people lived in the era of the commercial dawn of Asia. In principle, it is possible to agree with the administration of neighboring villages, the regional governor and the regional one in order to organize it in the foothill zone, but rather to restore the ancient bazaar where trading activities would be carried out, both of steppe inhabitants and of mountaineers, plain farmers and citizens. Tourists would be interested in visiting this ethnographic bazaar. Everything could be arranged in the style of that time, for example, 6-14 centuries AD. And for this, agree with the tax service and go to the legislators, to the bazaar to give the status of "national park", with the permission of the non-tax rate for 5 years. Then the people would have stretched, it would be beneficial to visit this market. But this is only a rough guide for future projects, probably within the framework of the UNDP program. So say dreams for the future!
In the guest house you can cook your dinner together with the host, and thus get acquainted with everyday life, learn about culinary preferences in a conversation, that is, learn about the regional specialties of cuisine. It is thus better to understand the culture of another nation.
After cooking, you can go with the owner and get acquainted with the command of the farm, what methods are used in rain-fed agriculture in the mountains, what varieties and garden crops are grown. What is their crop, what types of fertilizers are used. How do mountaineers live? Now is not a dark age, every mountaineer, somewhere and works. In the farm, grows for example goats for milk and meat, in a procurement company for the collection of medicinal fruits, herbs, roots. In the firm for the collection and drying of dry fruit.
Someone works as a postman, doctor, policeman, fireman, someone through YouTube earns money to pay utility costs. Someone private entrepreneur - grows dogs. Although about 60 percent of the conditional population of the mountains, little is provided with work. The creation of a tourist cl.u.s.ter here will allow dozens of people to get a job right away. To be cooks, guides, guards, sellers, plotters of new tourist routes, workers. Since some sections of the trails need to be put in order, according to the existing guests, the guest houses should be updated. To build a minimal infrastructure, such as medical centers, shops, install cellular and Internet antennas, and improve the throughput of mountain roads and paths. A lot of work. It is not profitable to take builders out of the city, Please entrust it with the fact that it knows a lot about thin places.
In the hands of Dara, there was already a ready-made business plan and a project with maps and new tourist routes. It remained only to get the approval of the grandmother Makhtab and start the tourism business. In the first year, he usually gives not a very big profit, somewhere between 5,000 and 7,000 dollars, a bit, but for mountain dwellers an increase in their wages and I also need 30 percent of this money is also a small bonus for investments. 1500 - 2100 dollars, will help in the management of the farm.
Guest house - garden - mountain village - inspection of mines - cl.u.s.ters of rock paintings - ruins of fortresses and ruins of palaces - ruins of smelting workshops - ruins of old villages of 19th and early 20th centuries - ruins of caravanserais. By the way, it would be possible to restore or create a new caravanserai nearby, at least in style, but by new building standards, as a small private hotel, but this is in the future, when it will be clear that this tourist destination brings steady profit and is growing. As it was in the mountains "Light" two mountain gorges, in one business suffered losses in the other, vice versa flourished in full color. It's all about the presence of historical artifacts. Some barely went into the plus, others had a profit of + 300% per year!
Here we need to develop different areas of tourism, not only eco-tourism, but also informative, culinary, to introduce more master cla.s.ses in cooking national sweets, desserts, their decoration, to talk about the healing properties of products. You can immediately show and check with the help of hand-held household appliances pesticide content and their absence in urban food from supermarkets and private mountain farms.
Very convincing reception. Then, with such a farm, tourists from China and j.a.pan signed a contract for the supply of dry fruits and nuts to their country. That village could earn up to $ 35,000 a year. Which is very profitable! But then they were not so lucky, because in those days, all companies earned foreign currency by private companies were forcibly redeemed by the state at the state and not the market rate.
These are remnants of the old planned economic system yielded their fruits. Therefore, the real profit was not $ 35,000, but about $ 21,000. The difference in the course is minus 40 percent. Therefore, it seems that having foreign currency in a bank account, without special permission from the state, it was impossible to buy equipment for processing in other countries. And only clan companies could get such permission, so ordinary businessmen were the losers. Its particular way of development of the economy was different from the usual capitalist, it was a mixture of a planned, market economy on the manual control of the clans.
Therefore, in those days, being a farmer was not as convenient as it is now in a period of reforms in the economy and the tax system. The latter has become more flexible, plastic and convenient for doing business, it was possible to choose various, convenient, tax plans. What led to the prosperity of the business. It was already possible to directly conclude contracts with foreign companies on the export of products and freely dispose of their bank accounts with foreign currency by 70 percent and sell thirty to the state at the market price.
Therefore, from this year it was already possible to purchase mini-plants for processing and packaging of goods. It was possible to sell not just a product but its processed semi-finished products. What increased profits, allowed to enter new markets for products.
All this gave a chance for the development of a trading product and business expansion. When the business expanded, then the state received more various taxes, the country had more foreign currency and there was no need to impose strict restrictions on its sale and export abroad. Although now, it was impossible to directly buy foreign currency, but significant concessions had already been made. It was possible to make a bank conversion card at the bank, transfer money in national currency to it, buy foreign currency at the market rate, which would be credited to a bank card. With it, it was already possible to cash dollars or euros. However, for these operations, a commission of between one and five percent was charged, depending on the type of bank. Progress on the face! Nevertheless, it was possible to take out of the country no more than $ 6,000 on the nose and with the permission of the central bank all $ 11,000. But getting such permission was also very, very difficult. On the other hand, how would people living from paycheck to paycheck have that kind of money?
What is interesting in the country was forbidden to buy, sell for foreign currency, but the more all the sales of cars and real estate were made in dollars. Something strange was the situation. Where did people with such low salaries of 150-200 dollars have so much money? That they could buy houses and apartments of 30,000-100,000 dollars, houses for 1,500,000 dollars and cars from 9,000 to 90,000 dollars was a mystery for Dara?! Another domestic magic? Who knows?
Of course, our payroll system is also unique. It is necessary to have time to pay for utilities before the 10th of each month, usually people pay in advance, for 3 months, six months or even a year. But now, the monopoly said, this will not work, you will only pay six months in advance, if there is an increase, then the prepayment at the old price does not count. That is, the rules of the game are constantly changing. Conventionally, 60 percent of the urban population lives from paycheck to paycheck. But sometimes it is at the time of paying taxes, to improve the statistical indicators, instead of 2-3 numbers, they start issuing 15 or even 20 numbers. Sometimes they can delay payment at all for 3-4-5 months. This is what they call a market economy. As sometimes forced to work voluntarily for 2-3 days for free, the money goes to the city improvement fund. Is it capitalism? Something hard to believe?
Some companies write - we value your trust, but at the same time, the goods sold are not subject to return. This is also a market economy. But it is somewhat peculiar.
Everyone thought that after the change of formats with a planned economy and manual control 0 there would be full-fledged capitalism, automatic control, alas, some kind of mutant appeared - a monster. This is not a social state, this is not a capitalist state, but in general, some kind of mystery of nature. But never mind, people still somehow manage to live. Of course, only a few can go to the sea, and the rest are swimming in the city ca.n.a.l. But you can still live somehow. Of course the stars do not grab from the sky...
...
Dara here we are in the village, wake up!
Ahhh, something fell asleep. There is a lot to do. Let's go to the village.
...
h.e.l.lo, dear, how did you get there? All is well?
Yes, I threw a plan for tourism, it is necessary that one of your looked!

Yes, your friend, this Chinese... what was his name there? Phil? Headlight? Ah, it seems Fang?!
What?
Fang, I say! In the evening he arrived, his guys worked all night and morning. Now they are engaged in start-up and debugging and in the course they teach our people how to work on equipment! Interestingly, even our grandparents are interested!
But what about the packaging design?
Is everything ready! Our Chinese has already tried!
Wow?!
Dara started calling the iPhone to Fangu...
... he did not take the phone for a long time. Where is he wearing...
there was a sleepy voice in the receiver...
... Hey, bro, what are you calling?

By the way, I have already brought a small HES, you can check whether it will also become a magic ent.i.ty or not. Now I am very tired, I will sleep before dinner, after we will go with you and my guys to drill a new well! Definitely, you need to do, even a small pool, in the summer you will be hot, in the shade +55! You need to put an awning near the house, otherwise we will all burn there!
I love the hot!
Well, I do not! Well, not so that he did not like at all, but our climate is different, more humid than yours!
Well, I hang up, really want to sleep. Until…
