In Zhang Fan's villa, Ruan Qingshan looked at the information in his hand with shock on his face. This information was about Golden Populus euphratica.
Zhang Fan has already redeemed this information and secretly established a research institute to cultivate the seeds of Golden Populus euphratica.
After exchanging it, I realized why the golden Populus euphratica is so valuable. This thing is so powerful, it is simply the best thing to control the desert and the Gobi Desert.
It is cold-resistant, drought-resistant and heat-resistant, has a well-developed root system and a fast growth rate. It can also store water on its own, and its well-developed root system and thick body can store a lot of water.
Just like a camel, it stores water in the body when there is sufficient water, and can use the water in the body to grow itself when there is less water.
A beautiful picture emerged in Ruan Qingshan's mind. The endless desert turned into a huge Populus euphratica forest with the efforts of Longteng Group.
That is a kind of pride. Once the desert is fixed, other things can be cultivated in the desert. At that time, the desert can become fertile farmland.
At the same time, the economic value of this kind of Populus euphratica is also very high. Especially the golden Populus euphratica wood with a long history is even more valuable.
Populus euphratica is said to be immortal for three thousand years after birth, not fall down for three thousand years after death, and not rot for three thousand years after it falls. Although it is a bit exaggerated, this also confirms the performance of poplar euphratica.
This kind of wood is definitely top-notch wood. Compared with ordinary poplar wood, golden poplar wood is even better than ordinary poplar wood.
This kind of wood is the best material for making furniture and other wood products. By then, just selling these trees will make you weak.
"Baby, this is indeed a treasure."
Ruan Qingshan couldn't help but rub it away. This is indeed a treasure. Once this thing is finished, it can be said to be more profitable than anything under Longteng Group.
"Uncle, the total area of deserts in the world is now as high as 36 million square kilometers. It is almost the same size as four Chinas. Even if we use one tenth of it, we will not have to worry about food and clothing for many lifetimes. Besides, deserts are so cheap. In
In many foreign countries, if we give you some money, they will sell it. Even if China cannot sell it, we can contract it. If we contract it for a hundred years, we may not have to spend a penny, and the state will subsidize us every year."
Zhang Fan's words made Ruan Qingshan nod. The power of desert is still a global problem. Compared with the area managed every year, the area actually increases more.
The world's new desert area reaches 50,000 to 60,000 square kilometers every year, which is equivalent to the size of four Yanjing cities.
Land is a treasure. Even if nothing is planted after it is managed, just planting some grass and raising some cattle and sheep is still an unimaginable wealth.
In China, there are subsidies for desert control. For example, Longteng Group's Longteng Forest manages a very large area of desert every year. The state not only allows Longteng Group to use these deserts for free, but also provides subsidies.
Compared with Longteng Forest, which uses things like sea buckthorn to control the desert, Golden Populus euphratica has greater advantages. Golden Populus euphratica can quickly turn into rows of protective forests.
After reasonable planning, these golden Populus euphratica can divide the desert into pieces, and under the protection of Populus euphratica forest, these pieces of land can be cultivated.
"Uncle, I think we can start from Africa. Africa is rich in natural resources and has a huge desert area. The most important thing is that it is close to Europe. We can build a base here. To convert the raw materials here into commodities, on the one hand, the local Africans
Used, on the other hand exported directly to Europe..."
Zhang Fan opened the world map and said seriously, Ruan Qingshan nodded. Africa is vast and rich in resources but its economy is very poor.
Building a base here has a cost advantage. Not only that, Longteng Group also has a big killer, which is drugs to treat AIDS.
In Africa, AIDS is rampant. If Longteng Group provides free AIDS drugs to these countries, these countries will definitely support Longteng Group.
No matter which country it is, no matter what armed force it is. I am afraid that no one dares to touch the Longteng Group's things, because touching the Longteng Group will cost the lives of countless Africans, and they themselves will resist.
Everyone cherishes their own life, and Africans do the same. With this big killer, Longteng Group can quickly gain a foothold in Africa.
Although no one has bought much of the land in Africa, most of it is barren land. Especially in the north and south of Africa, the climate is dry and mountainous, and they are desert areas.
In these areas, Longteng Group can use very little money to staking out land.
In addition to Africa, let alone the Middle East. Golden Populus euphratica may really be as good as gold to these desert tycoons.
"What are you going to do?"
Ruan Qingshan looked at Zhang Fan and asked curiously.
"I will be responsible for the land purchase. You will be responsible for the group's African strategy."
Zhang Fan's words made Ruan Qingshan nod. Ruan Qingshan is the president of Longteng Group. Ruan Qingshan is naturally responsible for Longteng Group's African strategy. As for the golden poplar and desert, it is obvious that Zhang Fan wants to separate this business from Longteng Group.
This is fine, Longteng Group is already in the limelight. If these lands are purchased in the name of Longteng Group, it will be even more prominent.
If Zhang Fan comes to take charge, he can set up an investment institution, which will control many, many companies.
When the time comes, use the names of these companies to purchase deserts. Although these lands nominally belong to different countries, the world still belongs to Zhang Fan alone.
After confirming the division of labor, the two people began to discuss Longteng Group's African strategy. The matter of buying land was very simple, just set up a company and pay for the land.
However, Longteng Group's African strategy is different and must be carried out in conjunction with local conditions and Longteng Group's current situation.
"I think it would be better to place it in South Africa. In Africa, South Africa's political situation and economy are relatively good. At the same time, the AIDS situation here is more serious. We also have greater advantages here."
Ruan Qingshan pointed at the map and said. South Africa is still very famous, especially for diamonds. Economically, South Africa, as the second largest economy in Africa, has a very good economy.
At the same time, it is also very rich in natural resources and has a population of over 50 million, which is quite large.
The proportion of AIDS in South Africa is relatively high, and in several countries adjacent to South Africa, the AIDS situation is also very serious.
In this way, Longteng Group has great advantages here. With its strong technical reserves and strength, Longteng Group can use all African resources to build a complete industrial system here and directly convert the resources here into commodities. On the one hand, it can supply to
For local use in Africa, on the other hand, it can be exported north to Europe and west to the Americas. This will greatly save the cost of the product and allow Longteng Group to make more money.
