Chapter 4 The Rose Garden Project
"Huh? What's the purpose of it over there?" After seeing the construction of the pig farm, Zhang Mei had forgotten what she was doing. She suddenly found that on one side of the pig farm, it seemed like a garden in a building, and she couldn't help but ask curiously.
Boss Wang glanced at Fan Wubing and explained to Zhang Mei, "It is the botanical garden we are preparing to build. Now it mainly focuses on growing roses. Many other varieties of plants will be added in the future, all of which are more inclined to cash crop types."
At first, Fan Wubing wanted to turn the pig farm and the botanical garden into an ecological park system, similar to the farmhouses in later generations. However, after careful consideration, he found that it was not a big deal. The integration of animals and plants in other places is basically some animals with high ornamental value. I guess not many people would like to come to him to see these stinky fat pigs. Even if your botanical garden is more distinctive, if people know that these beautiful flowers or elegant orchids are irrigated with pig manure, everyone's good mood will be destroyed.
But some things must be done, especially after knowing the huge value contained in them.
The botanical garden on the side of the pig farm covers an area of about twenty acres and is enclosed with a fence. Most of the planted roses on the outside are various colors, or samples of Chinese herbal medicines from crops with higher economic value. In a larger space inside, a large area of Clivia is planted.
"These are Clivia!" Fan Heng was amazed as soon as he saw orchids everywhere.
"Dad, do you know this thing?" Fan Wubing was immediately surprised.
Flowers like Clivia are rare in local provinces. They are currently more popular in the northeast. Fan Heng was able to name this flower in one mouth, which really surprised Fan Wubing.
"I know a little about this thing." Fan Heng was a little proud when he saw Fan Wubing's surprised look. "A colleague used to be from Northeast China and liked Clivia very much. I know something about Clivia from him."
"Oh, so that's it." Fan Wubing nodded, thinking that this was something that could be imagined.
The Plain Factory was originally built by brother units from all over the world. The source of personnel is very complex. It is estimated that except for places like Taiwan and Tibet, most other provinces have people working in the Plain Factory. As an old domestic industrial base, the workers in the northeast are even more likely to account for about one-fifth of them.
"What are you doing if you have nothing to do to plant these orchids? You can't eat them as food!" Although Zhang Mei thought these flowers looked good, her leaves soared into the sky with green leaves, and some blooming yellow flowers were particularly energetic, she could not understand how Fan Wubing, who has always been profitable, would think of planting such beautiful but useless flowers?
Fan Wubing avoided answering her mother's questions, and instead pointed to the rose next to her and introduced to her, "This garden will still focus on growing roses in the future. Clivia is just a variety in a short period of time. It is estimated that it will not be planted again after next year."
"What are you doing for growing roses? Do you want to plant roses as crops?" Zhang Mei felt even more incredible.
Although roses have always been used as a flower of love, under the current domestic situation, only some rich people in big cities will use them. How could ordinary people be willing to spend so much money to buy roses that can only be seen for a few days to give them to others?
Changes in consumption concepts are not only human problems, but also material foundations. However, Fan Wubing has no doubt that such changes will be deeply rooted in people's hearts within a few years.
However, Fan Wubing wanted to plant roses, not because he wanted to vigorously promote this luxury goods in China, but because he knew that the important value of roses in the international market is irreplaceable to other flowers.
In fact, roses, roses and roses are both plants of the genus Rose. People are accustomed to refer to the large and single-born varieties of flowers as roses, small flowers as roses, and those that can be refined with fragrance are called roses.
"I just want to plant it as crops!" Fan Wubing pointed to the nearby wasteland and said to everyone, "If I could take down the thousands of acres of wasteland nearby, I really want to plant them with roses."
Rose is a deciduous shrub with thorns in the genus Rose. Odd pinnate complex leaves, oval, edged thorns, wrinkles on the surface, and most of the supra leaves are combined with petioles. Flowers are single and several flowers are gathered together, purple, pink, yellow, white, and fragrant. The most important is roses. There are many products that can be developed with petals and buds as raw materials. Currently, the main developments are rose essential oils, rose extracts, clean oils, rose sugars, dried rose flowers, etc. These are extremely precious natural products, used as high-end perfumes, medicines, foods, cosmetics, flavors, spices, and handicrafts. Fan Wubing used his hand to pull a rose and said to everyone, "Natural spices can be extracted from roses, which is beneficial to health. Therefore, the source of goods is very popular in the international market. Bulgaria, Morocco, etc., the main foreign rose producers, are restricted by factors such as region, land area and labor.
, there can be no greater development. The international market has seen a situation where demand is greater than supply, and prices are rising steadily. Due to the limitations of climate conditions in other areas of China, artificial planting area is not large and cannot meet the market demand. This provides a good opportunity for us to expand rose planting." "According to climate and geographical conditions, as long as management measures keep up, the requirements for rose growth and development can be well met. The yield per mu of flowers during the flowering period can reach 500 to 700 kilograms. And planting in one year can benefit from ten years, and it is indeed a project to enrich the country and the people." Fan Wubing introduced to everyone, but his fingers were scratched by the thorns on the rose pole. He felt a little painful and added, "Of course, it is also very good to sell roses directly. The so-called thorny roses are used to describe love, and this thing will definitely be popular in the future."
"Can you make sure that all the money you invested can be recovered?" Fan Heng was a little suspicious. He knew that he had to plant so many roses, just labor and fertilizer, and the management cost were quite high, not to mention that to purify the beneficial substances in it, it also required quite complex equipment.
Fan Wubing jumped to a big rock, barely able to follow his father. He said to everyone with his chest, "Everything is risky, but we cannot do nothing just because we are afraid of risks. One of my ideals is to build a rose garden with a scale of more than 1,000 acres in Panshi City. This is my first goal in my life!"
