"Damu, do you plan to go back to Mengdong (one of the small towns in the Golden Triangle)?"
"What are you going back for?"
"But the project must come to an end."
"I plan to spend some money to sign up for an electric welding class and stay here in Taunggyi."
"Like This!"
"I really envy you. I still have a wife and children back home."
"Haha, are you reluctant to part with that half acre of paddy field?"
"Aren't the gangs setting up some kind of cooperative? Just give them the paddy fields. Anyway, you can't make much money from farming all year round."
Fang Xinwu has some understanding of this.
Those gangs in the Golden Triangle that suddenly changed their business operations did indeed have some agricultural cooperatives in the area, and even established a Golden Triangle Agricultural Cooperative Association.
In fact, these local management agencies, disguised as gangs, are also taking advantage of the "convenience" of gangs to engage in violent land annexation.
Currently, 83% of the cultivated land in the Golden Triangle has been integrated and used to grow oil palm, hybrid rice, genetically modified corn and genetically modified soybeans.
Genetically modified corn and genetically modified soybeans are all imitations of America by the Aoba Group. Anyway, as long as the genetically modified products use some different original varieties as the mother parent, even if the other party knows about it, there is nothing the Aoye Group can do.
In fact, the key to genetically modified crops is not safety, but the control of production technology. Without mastery of genetically modified technology, blind promotion of genetically modified crops will only become America's leeks.
The Shan State Plateau, which has a tropical climate and is a sub-plateau, is very suitable for large-scale agriculture.
The so-called large terrace agriculture is actually an advanced version of terrace agriculture, which uses the altitude differences within the plateau and the temperature differences to rationally arrange various crops.
The average altitude of the entire Shan State Plateau is 750 to 1,200 meters, and the total area is about 170,000 square kilometers.
Among them, the valley plain area is about 32,000 square kilometers, the low hills area is about 58,000 square kilometers, the alpine virgin forest area is about 45,000 square kilometers, and the remaining 4.5 square kilometers are difficult-to-use alpine meadows, rivers, and mines.
such as.
Therefore, the large-scale agriculture on the Shan State Plateau can be roughly divided into three terraces, namely the valley plain area, the low hilly area, and the high mountain forest area.
When developing agriculture on the Shan State Plateau, although the terrain will make transportation investment relatively high in the early stage, as transportation catches up later, the development speed will inevitably accelerate.
In fact, this place is truly vast and sparsely populated, with a population of only 6.6 million on an area of 170,000 square kilometers, averaging about 39 people per square kilometer.
If fully developed, at least 100 million acres of agricultural land could be reclaimed.
In fact, Hongsawady is a place with great potential, with a population of only 54.58 million, a plain area of 130,000 square kilometers, and a large number of low hills and sub-plateaus.
Compared with Luzon, which is composed of a large number of small islands, Hongsawady’s agricultural potential can definitely support the food needs of a population of 200 to 300 million people.
Now Qingye Group and Hongsawady Branch are building infrastructure frantically in order to release its agricultural and mineral potential.
Fang Xinwu saw that many workers did not want to return to their hometowns, mainly because they were attracted by the superficial prosperity of Taunggyi. They did not know that Qingye Group was trying to completely divest their land.
As long as they lose their land, these people can only become hard-working workers and work for the Qingye Group for the rest of their lives.
After annexing a large amount of land, Qingye Group can turn these lands into the agricultural production base it needs through mechanization, farmization, and scale.
This behavior can be called "malicious urbanization".
Fang Xinwu didn't know the key. He only saw that Taunggyi and other cities were very prosperous and workers' wages were rising steadily, but he ignored that the land in their hometowns was being rapidly annexed by the Qingye Group.
During the meal, most of the topics these workers talked about focused on work, family, and children.
General Fang Xin kept this information in his heart one by one.
After lunch, take a lunch break until about three o'clock.
Fang Xinwu and his two younger brothers just left the hotel and wandered on the street.
At this time, the sun after noon is still very fierce, but the altitude of Taungzhi Basin is relatively high, and the temperature is similar to that in southern Yunnan.
Arriving at the west side of Taunggyi City, workers are laying railway tracks, which are the railway connecting Shwe Niang Town.
Not far from the railway, there is a parallel road that has been completed.
"Brother, there are a lot of people over there." Maung Heshui said, pointing to a large factory-like building to the south.
Fang Xinwu turned his head and looked over, and saw the sign and name above: Qingye Hospital.
It’s this company again…
Seeing the building at the beginning of Qingye, Fang Xinwu knew that it was the property of the Qingye Group. This company also had a lot of business in the Golden Triangle area, so he also secretly investigated this company.
It’s just that a lot of information is superficial, such as the founder Li Qingye, who was once the son of the boss of a large domestic group, and later went abroad to found the Qingye Group.
With many years of experience in intelligence work, Fang Xinwu knew that there was something very fishy about it.
After all, if you are the heir to a multi-billion dollar company, why would you choose something far away? Come to a chaotic place like Hongsawady to start a business?
Especially when Fang Xinwu saw the other party's parents and his eldest brother died inexplicably, he realized that the water inside was very deep.
But Fang Xinwu also admired Li Qingye for being willing to leave behind his domestic inheritance and go to Hongsawady to start a business.
At this time, the scale of Qingye Group's industry in Hongsawady really surprised him.
From Tachileik Town on the Siam border all the way to Taunggyi City, he saw an unbelievable number of properties with the name "Green Leaf" on them.
For example, Aoba Hospital, Aoba Construction, Aoba Bank, Aoba Supermarket, Aoba Passenger Transport, Aoba Building Materials, Aoba Coke, etc.
This has penetrated into almost all aspects of Shan State. According to his friends in Taunggyi, the Qingye Group moved its headquarters to Taunggyi City this time because of Li Qingye’s irreconcilable relationship with the local General Maungku.
And Fang Xinwu naturally knew Maung Ku, who became the final winner in the Pyinmana incident some time ago. He is now one of the three giants in Hongsawady and controls all the regular army and internal security forces.
Just when he was in a daze, someone tapped him on the shoulder, and Fang Xinwu immediately had a stress reaction.
"Don't be nervous, it's me."
Hearing the familiar voice, Fang Xinwu relaxed, and then complained angrily: "Old Ma, can't you say hello directly?"
A middle-aged man named Lao Ma, with a handlebar mustache and wrinkles on his forehead, joked: "To exercise your reaction ability, do you want to have a drink?"
"Okay! Let's go!" Fang Xinwu was not polite.
The group of people walked towards the city.
Lao Ma led them through many twists and turns until they came to a very lively street, with stalls selling small commodities, daily necessities, and agricultural products on both sides.
"Those inner guards don't care about this place?"
Lao Ma shook his head: "This is the pedestrian street they designated. They collect money from these stalls."
"Advance with the times!" Fang Xinwu said with a smile.
Lao Ma shrugged: "It's better to clear up the blockage. If we can't get along, who would be willing to set up a stall?"
Fang Xinwu did not answer these words. After all, some words always seemed incorrect.
After a while, they arrived at the small restaurant owned by Lao Ma.
