Xing Hai Technologies intended to clean up the mess and integrate the chaotic capital market.
As for the nearby desert management agencies that were making a lot of noise, they would send out acquisition applications to shut them up.
However, Xing Hai Technologies was not a fool who had too much money.
For cultivated desert land, Xing Hai Technologies' purchase price was 3,000 dollars per mu.
For uncultivated desert land, the purchase price was 200 dollars per mu.
In the eyes of those investment institutions, these two prices could be described as "bottom-hunting."
Of course, they could not accept it!
"Are you trying to dismiss beggars with such a small amount of money? This is too little! "
"The cultivated land must not be less than 10,000 mu, and the uncultivated land must not be less than 3,000 mu. Otherwise, we will not sell!"
"The right to use the sand we contracted is for 50 years. After 50 years, the value can increase by dozens or even hundreds of times. It is even higher than the huge profits from real estate speculation. Xing Hai Technologies, don't think that I don't know what you are planning!"
"You are offering such a cheap price, no discussion."
The attitude of the investors was very tough. They were not willing to sell the land at a low price.
Hehe.
The negotiator from Xing Hai Technologies sneered. He used a few words to extinguish their illusions and send them into the abyss.
"Have you heard of indoor vertical agriculture technology? It has developed very rapidly in the past two years. It is one of the top ten hot technologies in the future.
Once the electricity bill is reduced to less than 30 cents per kilowatt hour, the production cost of indoor agriculture will be almost the same as the production cost of traditional agriculture.
Because of the indoor environment, there are no pests and diseases. The proximity to the city also saves a lot of transportation costs. All in all, it is already profitable.
In addition, after the improvement of the relationship between the Z and M countries, the Z country can import a large number of agricultural products from the M country. Not only are the prices cheap, but the quantity is also very large. This solves the problem of food shortage.
We are now transforming the desert in the northwest and developing agriculture. First of all, the cost of treatment is very high. The average cost is more than 10,000 dollars per mu.
"After the environmental transformation is completed, fruits and vegetables will grow in the former desert, and the fruits will be plentiful. Then, these agricultural products will be transported to the eastern provinces two to three thousand kilometers away. How competitive will the price be? How much economic value will it bring? I really can't give an optimistic estimate. We only need to understand that agriculture has always been one of the industries with the lowest return.
"Animal husbandry and aquaculture are similar. The gross profit is not high. They are not profiteers."
"Therefore, investing a huge amount of money in the northwest desert, hoping to get a return of several times or even dozens of times, can only be described as a daydream. Sand is just sand. It can't be turned into the so-called gold, and you can't get rich overnight."
"Of course, you spread rumors in the media that Xing Hai Technologies intends to migrate to the desert. You said that you intend to transfer Xing Hai Technologies' R&D center, production base, and headquarters to the desert, and then engage in real estate there to make money by inflating housing prices. I have to say that your imagination is indeed very big."
"But go to the streets and ask those young people if they are interested in migrating to the Northwest Desert."
"Or ask yourselves if you are willing to move to the remote northwest?"
"Xing Hai Technologies is dedicated to protecting the ecological environment, but it's still being discredited, misunderstood, and even slandered by so many people. They don't even think about the feasibility of it."
"Still speculating in the desert? Speaking of which, if Xing Hai Technologies really did this, would anyone buy a house that cost $100,000 per square meter? Would you even buy it? "
"How dare you measure the heart of a gentleman with your own mean measure. You followed Xing Hai Technologies in investing in desert management. You're burning money until the third year. How are you going to survive the next five, ten, and twenty years? Only after 30 years can you achieve a balance of payments or barely make a profit. How are you going to survive these long decades? "
"Can the investors behind you still want to cash out? Can they wait that long?"
"It's better to cut losses in time! Desert management is really not suitable for capital to participate in. Ten, twenty, or thirty years, I'm afraid that only a company like Xing Hai Technologies, which has the future of mankind in mind, can persist. What right do you have to persist? "
"Hurry up and accept Xing Hai Technologies' offer. It's not too late now. In a few years, Xing Hai Technologies' offer will be even lower! If we stop now, we will suffer the least losses. "
The negotiator from Xing Hai Technologies said. He laid out a few cruel realities in front of the capital.
All of a sudden, their minds were in a mess.
That was right.
The analysis was absolutely correct.
There was no obvious advantage in agriculture in the northwest desert. It was far away, and transportation was inconvenient.
Which idiot would live in such a remote place when it came to real estate? Even a house price of $3,000 was considered too expensive. How could it compare to the colorful world of first-tier cities in the east?
Instead of investing money in the desert, it was better for their capital to continue speculating on land in eastern cities or engage in indoor three-dimensional agriculture.
There was simply no cost-performance ratio at all to continue fighting in the northwest desert.
The longer they dragged it, the greater the losses.
Forget it. It was better to stop in time. Xing Hai Technologies had taken advantage of the situation.
After repeated weighing, some of the smarter capital investors made the decision to sell the desert land in their hands at a low price and transferred it to Xing Hai Technologies.
About two months later.
The area of desert land held by Xing Hai Technologies increased from more than 50,000 square kilometers to 300,000 square kilometers. They had contracted more than 30% of the country's desert land.
For the remaining 70% or so, those investment institutions were still clenching their teeth and refusing to accept Xing Hai Technologies' offer. It was like gambling. They wanted to continue to increase the price.
Chen Jin welcomed them. He even hoped that they could persist longer so that Xing Hai Technologies could save more money in the future.
If there were really those who persisted until the end, Chen Jin could only applaud and give them a thumbs up. This was what a true dreamer was. This was what a truly amazing person was.
But overall, Xing Hai Technologies would become the future "King of the Desert."
However.
On a day in September 20X7.
Suddenly, something happened that shocked the world.
The M nation's president, Lanfelord, was assassinated!
In the process of visiting a city in the south, he was attacked by a powerful bomb. The entire bulletproof car made a 980-degree turn in the air and smashed heavily onto the ground. It rolled three and a half times and then slid more than 30 meters on a downhill terrain.
Lanfelord was seriously injured.
He was quickly transferred to the hospital with the best medical technology.
Public opinion was in an uproar. Countless netizens expressed their anger. Who was it that wanted to kill President Lanfelord, who had led the M nation's economic recovery and had a public support rate of more than 70%? Why did they do this? Was he not doing well enough?
"God, please protect the president and keep him safe. His life is not in danger."
"We must find out who the mastermind is!"
"I will not allow them to kill my most beloved president!"
…
In a mysterious corner.
There were a few voices that vented their hatred.
"He has escaped a total of 13 assassinations. This time, he will die without a doubt!"
"The military budget has been halved, and the weapons orders are only 30% of what they used to be. How can we live? How can we live?"
"More importantly, we have lost our hegemony. That bastard wiped out all of our past glory. He deserves to die!"
"We will always be the masters of this planet. We must rule this world! We can't be sheep hiding in our homes. We can only be tigers that dominate the jungle! If we lose our crown, we would rather go to hell! "
…
On this day, Chen Jin also received a strange call.
It was from Moreton Raphael.
"Mr. Chen, President Lanfelord has stopped breathing and his heart has stopped beating. He … has passed away," Moreton said in a mournful voice.
"This … what does his passing have to do with me?" Chen Jin was confused.
"Mr. President is lying in Xing Hai Hospital. We believe in the medical technology here, but now, he is lying in your hospital …"
"What the f * ck!"
Xing Hai Technologies' reputation in the M nation was still not very good. Every day, there were still countless M media that criticized the company. With Lanfelord's death, Xing Hai Technologies was in a bit of trouble.
But then, an idea popped up in Chen Jin's mind.
