When had those leaders ever seen such a scene? Even the field personnel who had the most experience in the desert had only seen the scene of yellow sand spreading and sand dunes moving under the power of nature. They had never seen the shocking scene of sand dunes being flattened and yellow sand turning into yellow mud amidst the roar of machinery!
"In an instant, the desert turned into a fertile field!" The leader of the Environmental Protection Agency could not help but grab a handful of "yellow mud" and knead it in his hands, ignoring the dirt.
After the transformation, the yellow sand, which had no viscosity at all, became as sticky as mud and could be molded into various shapes like clay figurines.
"This speed is really terrifying!" The geologist sighed. "Under normal circumstances, it would take at least a few decades to transform yellow sand into mud. But now, in just a few minutes, the soil conditions have completely changed."
"At this rate, this area can completely become fertile for the growth of vegetation!"
"A hundred mu of land, can it really be transformed in three days?" The provincial leader asked again.
"Yes, all of our projects are done mechanically. You see, it's not only the transformation of sand, but also the planting of trees, protection, and other work are directly operated by engineering equipment, which is countless times faster than manual labor! A hundred mu of land, only three days! "Lu Zixin proudly introduced.
"Then it seems that a thousand, ten thousand mu is also a piece of cake!" Someone exclaimed.
"No, no, no." Lu Zixin immediately said, "You see it as a piece of cake, but our Hongxin Group has invested a lot of money in this. The sand adhesive, machinery, the research, design, and manufacturing of these are all solid funds, and we have not received any funding at all! I can say that in the world, only our Hongxin Group has the technological capability to complete this, but in terms of funding, it is difficult for us to bear. "
Lu Zixin had to emphasize the difficulty of the transformation and the necessity of Hongxin Group. This way, they could increase their bargaining chips in the relevant departments and facilitate the application for ten million mu of desert land.
"We have not been managing the desert for a year or two, so we can understand your difficulties." The leader of the Environmental Protection Agency felt the same way and said, "Today, we have also seen the power of the 'sand cement'. How about this, we will come back in three days, and then we will discuss the matter of these lands."
The provincial leader even said, "Don't worry, this is a public welfare project. The province will definitely support it fully!"
They knew very well that such a large desert would only bring them harm and no benefit. Leaving it to them to manage would be like a bottomless pit that could never be filled.
Previously, they had not approved Hongxin Group's application because it was too big. After all, the desert was also a national resource. It was impossible to give such a large area to private enterprises.
Now that they had seen the ability of Hongxin Group to transform the desert, this matter could be discussed.
…
A month later, news finally came from the top that the relevant departments had approved the Hongxin Group's application. However, it was not a one-time approval of ten million mu of desert land. Instead, it was an initial approval of two million mu of desert land. After Hongxin Group carried out the initial transformation and management of the desert, the higher-ups would conduct an examination. If it passed, another three million mu of desert land would be approved, followed by five million mu of desert land. It would be divided into three steps.
Hongxin Group naturally had no objections to this. The initial construction of the City of the Future did not require so much land. First, they just needed to build the core research building.
This news was naturally publicized by the official media and attracted the attention of the public.
Hot News: "Hongxin Group turned into a 'real estate company' and took over two million mu of desert land. Why?"
People's Daily: "Hongxin Group took over two million mu of desert land and wants to turn the desert into an oasis!"
Qiandu News: "Hongxin Group bought half of 'Capital City' at once. This time, it's too big of a deal!"
Hongxin Group's official media also announced this matter. This action puzzled the outside world.
Logically speaking, Hongxin Group's repeated actions were all major changes in a certain industry. This was the time when they were in the limelight. Why did they suddenly give up on commercial interests and turn to environmental protection?
It was fine if they were doing environmental protection. Donating a few hundred million would earn them good reviews. However, Hongxin Group had taken over a large desert land this time. It could be said to be the largest in the world. Even the country could not fork out so much money to complete such a large-scale project. Did Hongxin Group have too much money and nowhere to spend it?
The public did not think so much and unanimously expressed their support.
Netizen 1644494: "Hongxin Group is really a conscientious company. They can spend so much money to protect the environment!"
Netizen 7854645: "Oh my god, are they going to build a city in the desert?"
Netizen 4646114: "Can I donate? I also want to donate some money and plant a few trees or something. "
Netizen 4161616: "We also have a desert here. Why don't they invest in us?"
… …
Meanwhile, those attentive entrepreneurs found an interesting clause in the announcement. With the approval of the government, Hongxin Group not only managed the desert but also had the right to develop the area.
"This is really strange. Could it be that they found oil or natural gas there? Why do they want that kind of place? " Some people were puzzled. There were already rumors on the Internet that Hongxin Group had found fossil energy there and that was why they did this.
However, those in the know did not believe it. They found out from their sources that there was really nothing there. Moreover, Hongxin Group was really transforming the desert and managing the environment. It was said that they were also building some modern buildings. It seemed that they were really going to do something big in the desert!
"This Lu Yan, I don't understand him anymore." At Da Mi Company, Tian Xiangshan frowned and thought. "Doing economic development in a barren land, no matter how you look at it, it's a loss! Could it be that he really wants to manage the desert because of his personal feelings? This area is too exaggerated! "
Even though he had a wealth of business experience, he could not understand Lu Zixin's actions.
Everlasting Real Estate Group was one of the top real estate companies in the country. Because of the Hongxin Group's matter, they also held a special meeting to study it.
"From the perspective of real estate investment, Hongxin Group's investment this time is practically harmless. Although the government gave them the land at a very low price, the cost of managing the desert per square meter is much more expensive than conventional land. I really don't understand why they want to invest in the desert? " Everlasting Real Estate's experienced analyst could not analyze it this time. "This kind of behavior should not be a business behavior."
"Geographically, the transportation conditions here are not convenient and the surrounding economic development is poor. Coupled with the extremely harsh ecological environment, there is no value in developing it. I can only say that this may be a decision made by Hongxin Group's higher-ups on a whim and will probably give up soon. "
"That may be the case, but recently, our competitor, Da Yuan Real Estate also seems to be interested in this piece of land. They have always had a close relationship with Hongxin Group. Is there something we don't know about?"
