China has a traditional farming culture, and yacht culture is a port culture...
When it comes to yachting, the first thing is money. The second thing is culture...
There are many rich people in China, and many people yearn for yachts, but not many people are willing to spend money on them because it is too troublesome.
The market in Coconut State cannot actually support large yacht marinas. Not to mention the marinas with 400 acres of water, even the marinas with 200 acres of water are very popular.
But Chen Mo is still planning to build a 400-acre yacht dock for future considerations... Coconut State has a port, and the port is quite large. But there is no yacht dock, and the fishing boat berthing areas are not standardized...
This is an artificial island. Reclamation is easy, but restoration is difficult.
Coconut State is developing tourism. It has a large yacht marina and a relatively low berth fee, which may lead to the development of water recreation.
How much money can be made from an artificial island? Chen Mo himself is not short of money. Just do something that interests you and likes...
Moxi hired more than thirty planners and designers from more than a dozen companies and seven countries.
Chen Mo talked about his own requirements, a yacht marina with 400 acres of water, a parking lot, at least 2,000 parking spaces... a warehouse at the marina, a reception center at the marina...
The yacht dock area is designed to be 130 acres. Then there is a fence to block it...
There are several unfinished buildings on the island, one of which has been built to 5 floors and is a hotel apartment-style residence. The foundations of the other three buildings have been laid and built to one or two floors... Chen Mo originally wanted to rebuild these buildings.
Plan it, but the layout of the apartment-style houses is difficult to change, so we will start from scratch and continue the construction. Then we will build two office buildings...
Chen Xiao's company can't keep working in the villa area, and they plan to move here after it is completed. Chen Mo himself is also planning to integrate the industries and resources under his own name and set up an investment company to be responsible for the economic accounting of the industries under his own name.
Production and operation management supervision, financial supervision, and some investment matters.
Chen Mo has many industries and investments under his name.
There are mainly Valley Ranch and Yunshan Ranch. These two ranches are not traditional ranches. Then there is Valley Manor in Napa Valley. The wine produced there has received a very good response after being launched on the market. Chen Mo is also planning to use Valley Manor as a winery.
, run it.
Then there are some investments, Huafeng Group, Hehe Hehe Animal Husbandry, Fulong Company, Yunshan Engineering Company. These companies all have to send their own representatives. There is also the Nestlé Group. Chen Mo holds 13 million shares of the Nestlé Group, which can only be counted.
A small shareholder can be regarded as a private investment and does not need to send a representative...
But these industries and investments have become chaotic under Chen Mo's name and need to be systematically sorted out and taken care of later. It is relatively simple to integrate the industries and resources under one's own name in the name of an investment company, and it also allows one to know in real time what is under one's own name.
What is the state of the industry?
A dock, staff residences, office areas, and then a few villas will be built, and that's pretty much it.
As for the land at the Coconut Corridor, Chen Mo didn't know what to use it for. There was no interest in building a resort, and he couldn't make much money.
Bai Xiaoou really wanted that piece of land, but now he was in debt again and had no money.
Let’s develop the island first. As for the rest, we will make other plans later.
After telling the planners and designers about the requirements, they were asked to complete the design. The budget given by Chen Mo was 3 billion, which was enough money to use their wild imagination.
Go back to Yunshan Ranch.
Chen Mo turned on the computer to check the operation status of Qigu Ranch this year...
As of January this year, the turnover of Valley Ranch is only US$200 million. However, the livestock breeding industry in St. Beni Town has developed...
According to the latest St. Beni livestock industry report, St. Beni raises 150,000 dairy cows. Dairy cows include cows specialized in milk production and cows specially reserved for breeding. Such as Angus cattle, in order to pursue the largest
Economic benefits, Angus cows will also be used as dairy cows...
210,000 beef cattle.
There are 300,000 dairy sheep and 820,000 meat sheep.
And the scale of breeding is still expanding, mainly because the forage production capacity of the valley pasture has expanded... At the current scale, there is still a lot of surplus forage production in the valley pasture.
In Valley Pasture, the current pasture price is 25 US dollars per ton, alfalfa and sweet elephant grass are 22 US dollars per ton. There is no rye grown in Valley Pasture, so there is no need. The nutritional value of ryegrass is not as good as sweet elephant grass... said
It seems that the comprehensive nutritional value of sweet elephant grass is even higher than that of alfalfa... and its pure economic value is also much higher than that of alfalfa, and the yield is large.
Alfalfa grass has high protein content and is mainly used to produce feed for dairy cows and sheep, and the fresh milk produced is of better quality. Sweet elephant grass is mainly used to feed beef, cattle and sheep, and has a better fattening effect.
There are 60,000 acres of sweet elephant grass and 38,000 acres of alfalfa planted in Valley Pasture.
The yield per acre of alfalfa is about 210 tons, fresh grass. The yield per acre of sweet elephant grass, planted this year, so far... There is a 200-acre field dedicated to recording data. The compiled data is, so far, the average
450 tons per acre have been harvested. This is not yet the peak period, and the yield increases with each harvest...
Planting sweet elephant grass, especially if there is an industrial operation model, planting sweet elephant grass is very cost-effective.
For example, the annual output of a well-managed farm in the plains of California's Central Valley is around US$1,500 per acre. There are better ones, and there are worse ones, but they usually don't exceed US$2,000 per acre.
But here in Valley Pasture, the annual output of 1 acre of sweet elephant grass will definitely exceed US$10,000. The economics of alfalfa are not so good, only about US$5,000.
In St. Beni, the output of alfalfa is small and the demand is high. But Chen Mo is not ready to expand the scale of alfalfa planting... The important use of alfalfa is to produce high-quality fresh milk. Anything is worthless when there is too much.
To maintain sufficient profits, we must control production...
Besides, according to the original plan, fresh alfalfa would cost US$50 per ton. And there is still room for price increase because farmers' profits are large enough.
The fresh milk produced in St. Beni Town is sold to the Nestle Group, and the purchase price for high-quality fresh milk is very high. Then there is the step of making it into feed... Chen Mo and the others have calculated it, and alfalfa can be purchased for 100 US dollars 1
tons, valley animal husbandry and local farmers also make a profit.
As for sweet elephant grass, there is also a lot of room for price increases. As long as sweet elephant grass can be used to raise good enough fat cattle and it is more cost-effective than grain feed, it can still increase... 1 ton of sweet elephant grass costs US$50, which should be
Almost. After all, they are not ordinary pastures...
If the scale of breeding in St. Beni Town could completely consume the output of the valley pasture, then... it would be terrifying.
