Chapter 753 Farming In The Sahara Desert
"Chenghuang Oasis Company contracts three thousand acres of desert in North Africa!" 》
"The mysterious new company takes advantage of the yellow oasis and rents the Sahara Desert generously!" 》
"How to make money renting a desert?" The motives of the Yellow Oasis Company remain a mystery! 》
These days, as long as the word "Cheng Huang" is attached to it, it will bring traffic. If there is any slight disturbance, the media will rush to report it, and news will quickly appear on the Internet.
Netizens who eat melon gathered to watch and had different opinions.
"Chenghuang Oasis Company? Is it a Pheasant Company with a bad name?"
"Is the desert contracted for mining? I heard that there are a lot of mines in the desert, but I haven't heard of this company? Why aren't big mining companies involved?"
"Reselling sand? The war in North Africa has just ended, and many cities need sand for reconstruction? That's not right, the sand in that place is worth a shit!"
"Isn't it a new way of laundering money? These money laundering companies really need to be controlled!"
"The company information shows that it is an agricultural company. Are we going to farm in the desert?"
"Farming is ridiculous. Farming in the Sahara Desert can only lead to loneliness. Even a fool knows that there is no grass growing there."
Netizens did not pay too much attention. Some people guessed the purpose of farming, but it soon attracted ridicule and the popularity gradually subsided.
At the same time as being on the news, Xia Wansan had completed more than a dozen shots of the vaccine, got on a plane to North Africa, and rushed to the front station all the way.
Ling Yiyi and Pu Songchun also rushed to North Africa a few days later to join Xia Wansan. The three young founders of Chenghuang Oasis Company officially went deep into the vast desert and began a life of drinking sand and farming.
The three thousand acres of experimental fields in the Sahara Desert are not connected together, but are scattered across six countries. Eggs cannot be put in one basket. The yields of sand-converted soil farmland in different locations must be tested to prepare for the next step of expanding the scope of leasing.
Of course, the experimental field will not be in the hinterland of the desert, but at the junction of desert and barren soil. In this location, the sand will not flow like waves. It can be fixed with a little adhesive. There are also towns dozens of kilometers around, and it is already a wasteland. The extreme position of farming.
The sea and land transportation lines for Lingbacteria adhesives have not yet been opened, so they can only be transported by air. Planes set off from China one after another, taking the Middle East route to North Africa. The planes are fully loaded with Lingbacteria adhesives and fertilizers. Pesticides are not needed for the time being. There are currently no swarms of insects eating vegetables near the desert, but there are many snakes and scorpions, so antivenom is needed.
Ling Yiyi, Pu Songchun, and Xia Wansan are the leaders who oversee the overall situation, and there are two teams of people who really do the work.
The first team is mainly composed of college students and vegetable farmers, recruited from major agricultural universities and vegetable bases across the country, and is responsible for Hengchi Hengchi farming.
The other team is mainly veterans, recommended by shareholders of several state-owned enterprises. After landing, they will form a security team with guns and even equipped with surveillance drones and mortars. After all, the war has just stopped, and there may be people fleeing. For gangsters, the security team also helped with odd jobs when there was no enemy situation, such as carrying fertilizer bags, catching snakes, driving people, making fires for cooking, etc.
The first task in the experimental field was to dig a well. There were domestic construction companies stationed in the area. After paying the money, the well was drilled quickly. In just a few days, the deep well was drilled smoothly. There was sufficient groundwater to irrigate the farmland.
As soon as there is water, the sand is converted into soil. Pour the Lingbacteria binder into the yellow sand one sack at a time, add water and stir, turning large areas of loose sand into sticky mud. After two days, observe the soil quality to confirm that the soil is in good condition. , followed by sowing!
The first batch of crops planted were all green leafy vegetables, and some small shrubs were planted on the edges of the farmland to block wind and sand.
White plastic mulch covers the farmland, and water evaporated from the soil covers the plastic film and drips continuously.
The three top picks take a plane every day and fly from one experimental field to another. They sleep when they get on the plane and work when they get off the plane. They are busy.
Song He receives photos and reports from students every day. It can be seen that the conditions are indeed difficult, with yellow sand rolling on a windy day. Ling Yiyi sent a photo of herself carrying a dead snake with a wooden stick, and Xia Wansan sent it The photo is even more striking. Pu Songchun is sitting cross-legged next to a withered skeleton, with his eyes closed and murmuring to save the souls of the deceased.
"Where did the human bones come from?" Song He asked.
"They were dug out during farming. Several bodies were dug out from several test fields, including bones and fleshy corpses. They were all dried and hard like beef jerky." Xia Wansan explained.
Song He called him "good guy," the conditions were worse than expected. No wonder the rental fee was so cheap. Who could withstand the sand full of dead people? Every time I dug it, there was no sound.
When they first arrived in the desert, the students looked like students. After just one week, they were no different from vegetable farmers. Their faces were tanned and red, their clothes were covered with a layer of light white salt grains, and their shoes and pants were covered with mud and sand. Because of their disordered work and rest schedules, He also looked extremely haggard.
However, the three top picks all smiled very happily when taking the photo, because the vegetables in the field grew vigorously, and many of the vigorously growing vegetables broke the mulch. They were so green under the sunlight that they tasted good just by looking at the photos.
Time flies, and it’s one month later in the blink of an eye.
The photos of the scene are almost like a miracle. There are rolling yellow sand in all directions, but in the middle is a large green vegetable field. People who are lost in the desert saw it from a distance and must have thought it was a mirage, or they were hallucinating due to thirst.
The acceptance period is about to come, and the employees of Chenghuang Oasis Company began to do something secretly, killing vegetables!
A large number of vigorously growing vegetables were destroyed, some were pulled out, some were killed by drought, and the leaves of the rest were cut off. In just two days, the yield of all experimental fields dropped by 40%.
The reason for killing the vegetables is simple, in order to get a more favorable price in the subsequent negotiations.
The three thousand acres of experimental fields were a great success, and the yield per mu was close to normal vegetable fields. The whole company was extremely excited. Song He decided to expand aggressively. Taking advantage of the fact that North African countries had not yet realized the potential of sand-to-soil farmland, he quickly rented astronomical amounts of land. The little money you can save is worth it.
Soon, the first batch of vegetables was harvested and statistics were reported.
The second round of desert lease negotiations begins.
Song He expected that this round of negotiations would be long because the land he wanted to acquire was too large. Unexpectedly, the North African countries were really eager to make money. In just three days, the lease contract was approved and officially signed at the speed of light!
The content of the final contract almost made Song He feel like he was bullying others, but if one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, it can only be said to be a win-win situation.
