Chapter 619: Losing is precious
Considering the importance of environmental monitoring, after entering Shawei Island, Zhuang Haiyang hired several elites who specialize in water quality and soil testing. Their job is to monitor the soil, water quality and even the air on Sand Wai Island.
When the first groundwater well was dug and sent to the laboratory for testing, everyone was excited. According to the water quality report, the water quality of this groundwater well fully meets the drinking water standards.
This has never been the case with water quality tests taken from other places before. This also means that the pollution of groundwater on Shawei Island is constantly decreasing or even improving.
With the completion of the well, the clean and clear water is continuously pumped to the built water tower. The staff, who had suffered from water during this time, instantly became excited and rushed into the bathhouse to take a shower.
Seeing this scene, Hong Wei, who had been on the island with Zhuang Haiyang for a long time, also said with a smile: "I really didn't expect that after coming here, taking a bath has become a happy thing." This may indicate that we are finally off to a good start. ”
Imagine why people living in desert areas attach so much importance to the existence of oases? Without water, no life can survive. With living water on the island, everything will be fine. ”
As Zhuang Haiyang said, the pollution used in the living area is also installed with a corresponding transition system, which can be recycled accordingly. The pipes that had been laid before began to water the sandy soil in the morning, noon and evening.
When the mud boat scheduled by Zhuang Haiyang arrived at the dock, it was transported by mud trucks, and truckloads of mud began to spray into the sandy ground. During the day, when the temperature is high, the mud is quickly dried.
It's just that when the water pipes started to be watered, the mud began to melt into the sandy soil and began to condense with the sand. The mud was sprayed every other week, and after a month, green began to appear in some places.
Finding that green grass had grown in some of the sandy soil, many staff members excitedly said, "Grass has grown! Grass has grown! Great, we can finally start planting pasture." ”
Zhuang Haiyang, who learned the news, also personally inspected the sandy soil that had been covered with thin soil. As the staff said, the presence of these soils is suitable for the sowing of pasture seeds.
When all the desertified areas are covered with green pastures, you can start to bring in the cattle, sheep and even other poultry that you can start raising in small batches. In the early stage, for the sake of soil protection, it is definitely not possible to breed in a large area.
Otherwise, it is easy for the soil that has been difficult to recover to become desertified again. In addition, if you try to raise a small batch in the early stage, you can also test the quality of the first batch of cattle and sheep through trial breeding!
"Yes, tell the farm and bring the grass prepared in advance by boat as soon as possible. The soil in the desertified area is still a little thin, so it is better to transplant the turf with soil directly. ”
"Understood!"
On the side of the heirloom farm, with the help of the built wharf, it will be prepared in advance, and all the grass turf that has been harvested and only the grass roots will be loaded and transported to the side of Shawei Island. What the workers then have to do is spread the turf to the divided desertification area.
After the first batch of about 1,000 acres of turf was laid, Zhuang Haiyang came to Hong Wei and said: "This is the nutrient solution I have concocted, and I will dilute it in the watering bucket." For the next week, the transplanted turf is watered like this. ”
"Okay, I'll take care of this myself. ”
It is clear that everything that involves the nutrient solution needs to be kept strictly confidential. In order to ensure that fewer people knew, Hong Wei also poured the nutrient solution into the irrigation bucket himself. Then let the security team members be responsible for watering the transplanted turf in the morning and evening.
In the process of turning the desertified soil, the mud is also mixed with a lot of organic fertilizer. As a result, the transplanted turf grows at an alarming rate. Looking at the verdant thousands of acres of grassland, everyone felt very excited.
A few months ago, it was a barren land, but now there is a refreshing 1,000-acre pasture. Not to mention that the staff was excited, even if the local leaders learned the news, they also hurriedly came to inspect.
Looking at the grass that grew as tall as the palm of his hand, the big leader who had accompanied the inspection before said very happily: "Mr. Zhuang, amazing! It seems that I have really done the right thing to lease this island to you." In the future, these desertified areas should be planted with pasture, right?"
"Yes! Considering that the groundwater pollution in the desertification area is relatively serious, we are also using mud filling and organic fertilizer to dilute pure groundwater, hoping to solve the groundwater pollution situation as soon as possible.
This 1,000-acre grassland is our first experimental pasture. Next, our testing department will carry out irregular testing of these forage grasses to ensure that the forage grass does not contain harmful ingredients, so that the cattle and sheep dare to eat. ”
"Well, it seems that you are very thoughtful! In other places, if you need our help, you can also say it. ”
Everyone knows that once the ranch on Sand Wai Island starts to operate, it will also be a big achievement for the local area. The island, which was abandoned in the past and even became a cancer, has turned into a beautiful pasture, and the leader is not happy?
The leaders who returned to Sand Reed Island again did not expect that in just a few months, Sand Reed Island, which people did not want to set foot in at all, would change so much. The sand and soil situation has improved dramatically.
But these leaders know one thing to some extent, that is, Zhuang Haiyang has invested a lot of money in transformation in the past few months. If you were someone else, you wouldn't be willing to invest so much money to clean up a deserted island.
It can be seen that Zhuang Haiyang's leasing of Shawei Island is also a sincere intention to build it into a new high-quality pasture. And in the matter of controlling environmental pollution, Zhuang Haiyang is also more willing to do things in a down-to-earth manner than many people who talk about it.
It's just that for Zhuang Haiyang, since Shawei Island has been leased, it is natural to manage it once and for all. If the governance is not clean, it will only cost more money if it is repeatedly managed in the future.
In addition to the treatment of desertification areas, Zhuang Haiyang also has manpower and material resources to rectify the places where seabirds inhabited earlier. Even around jungles and shrub areas, some trees suitable for seabirds have been transplanted.
In the eyes of others, such an investment does not bring any benefits at all. But in Zhuang Haiyang's view, if this jungle can become a paradise for seabirds, then this ranch may also be more sought after because of these seabirds in the future.
Sending off the leaders of the inspection, Zhuang Haiyang also began to arrange the introduction of breeding cattle and sheep. All beef cattle are still imported from foreign breeds. Even if the cattle breed is not bad, but this new ranch still breeds more well-known beef cattle from abroad.
When new marine ranches began to be established in an orderly manner, the marine ranches that had been forced to be resold were officially declared bankrupt. After the transaction, the quality of the plantation vegetables that are still being sold normally is worse than the taste.
Even to the puzzlement of experts, the desertification of pastures is becoming more and more serious. The quality of the grass that was originally planted is also constantly degrading. This strange change puzzled all experts.
According to the test report provided by experts, the culprit of desertification of pasture grass comes more from dry groundwater. Although the aquatic weeds harvested in the pasture can still provide the corresponding groundwater, the water quality is constantly deteriorating.
In addition to this, the lack of groundwater nourishment and the deterioration of the organic elements of the pasture soil. When the ranch first took over, several investors also bought back previously sold calves in an attempt to replicate the top-of-the-line beef cattle previously raised by Ocean Ranch.
Unfortunately, as the quality of the grass deteriorates, the quality of the beef cattle that grows up deteriorates almost visibly. Even if it is not yet the slaughter period, experienced cowboys know that the quality of these beef cattle is only very average.
In particular, when the vineyards are replanted, many of the high-quality vines that were bought at a high price die after transplanting, and it seems that they are not planted at all. Such a result undoubtedly made several investors extremely angry.
But what is really angry is the agricultural and livestock industry sector in New Zealand. With the decline of marine ranches and the news of the government's crackdown on investors, Nyusila's investment and exports in agriculture and animal husbandry have undoubtedly been hit hard this year.
After receiving a call from Jenuk, Zhuang Haiyang also smiled and said, "It seems that I am lucky, right?"
"Boss, you think you're such an amazing guy!"
"Thank you for the compliment! By the way, Nuke, do you want to come to China to be a cowboy for a few years? I'm here, leasing a new island of about 40,000 acres, and planning to build a new marine ranch here, are you interested in becoming a ranch manager?"
Facing Zhuang Haiyang's invitation, Januk thought for a while and said, "BOSS, I need to think about this!"
"Of course! You should have heard Louie say that he was already planning to come over and continue to be the manager of my new ranch. If you come over, you'll be able to partner with him again. If your family wants to, you can move in with you!"
"Thank you for the invitation, I'll definitely think about it!"
Neither Louie nor Janeuk are too old. Although the money they earn now is enough for them to live for the rest of their lives. The problem is that they are not yet fifty years old, and they are really retired, which seems somewhat unaccustomed.
Even if they are not short of money, they need a job in order to provide a better life for their children. Only when their children get married and start a family may they choose to retire.
What's more, if you come to work in China, it is actually a good life experience. At least after Louis returned, he was also obsessed with the food of China. And Louie's wife also seems to like the mountains and rivers of China.
If both husbands and wives come over, they are usually idle, and the two husbands and wives can often take vacations and travel to various parts of China. Even if they can enjoy such a comfortable life without delaying their work, they will naturally not refuse such an invitation.
And Louis knew very well that with this job as a ranch manager, he would also be able to make friends with the heads of well-known restaurants around the world. Such a network will play a very important role for him or his children in the future.
Again, Zhuang Haiyang recruits management personnel, and also hopes to recruit trustworthy ones. People who worked on overseas ranches before have good reviews of Louie and Janouk, and it is easier to work together again.
According to Zhuang Haiyang's decision, when the Shawei Island Ranch begins to get on the right track, perhaps he will continue to build pastures in the country. In that case, there will be more top-quality beef cattle that can be exported every year than expected.
Recruiting professional managers from abroad is also convenient for dealing with international customers. Correspondingly, it can also absorb the experience of more advanced foreign ranches and enhance the brand competitiveness of domestic ranches.
In fact, the bankruptcy and closure of the sea ranch is undoubtedly very angry for the residents of Green Town. In the past, when the marine ranch was prosperous, they could also enjoy the various benefits and benefits that come with the fame of the marine ranch.
Now, because the ranch is bankrupt and closed, it has even lost its value for sale. The originally lively ranch became deserted in an instant, and for the whole town, it undoubtedly lost a bright spot and an additional scar.
Apparently, when the ranch management officially announced the closure of the ranch, the townspeople also organized themselves to march to the seat of government in the South Island. The person in charge of the previous promotion of the ranch transfer transaction also had to resign and apologize.
When someone asked if Zhuang Haiyang could be invited to take over the ranch again, someone quickly said, "Do you think it's possible?"
"Why can't it be, though I don't know why the ranch suddenly decayed like this. But I believe that as long as Zhuang is willing to come back and take over, the ranch should be restored soon. If you don't try it, how do you know?"
On the South Island side, when he wanted to ask Zhuang Haiyang about his meaning through an intermediary, Louis, who had just returned to China, also became the guest of honor of the South Island consul. In the face of the archon's inquiry, Louis also shook his head directly.
He even said very simply: "From the moment you forced the boss to change hands on the ranch, the boss has been extremely disappointed in you and even the whole of New Zealand. Even if you lease the ranch to him for free, he will probably not come again.
And what you don't know is that the BOSS has leased an island of nearly 40,000 acres of pasture in his country, and is ready to take an interest in a new marine ranch there, which is still used to breed top beef cattle.
With BOSS's technology, and the customers we had before, why would he come back? Besides, you can guarantee that he came back to take over the ranch. In the future, when the ranch is really restored, will you be able to stop the greedy?"
With Louie's unceremonious taunt, such an offer was soon shattered. This bitter fruit, the New Zealand side and the South Island side can only eat the fruit. The price paid by those investors is also not insignificant.
Not to mention the loss of hundreds of millions of funds, it also offended the government of New Zealand. In the future, they want to do other business with Nyusile, but they are not as popular as they used to be. Such a fiasco also made many people realize that Zhuang Haiyang is not easy to mess with.
I really hate the fact that a few investors have cooperated with the government of New Zealand, as well as those customers of the ranch. For these customers, the loss of the supply of top-quality steaks is not a cut off from their financial resources? Isn't it normal to be jealous and hated by others?
