Chapter 557: The Impression of a Big Mistake
If you want to understand a country or region, the first priority must be to understand the class composition of the country. For example, in China during this period, the simplest classification was urban and rural people, and the difference between the two was quite huge, and many problems can be found in this classification. Of course, as the countryside continues to migrate to work and settle in the cities, the media spreads more and more rapidly, and the difference between the two will become smaller and smaller.
The same is true for other countries and regions. However, when it comes to sophistication, the Africa region undoubtedly ranks Nan Bowen. There are four classes from top to bottom, and the only country that can be compared to the one that drinks the water of the Ganges River is open. And with everything from primitive tribes to modern cities, it's really hopeless how difficult it is to govern.
And outsiders can't understand the reason for this group of black corn, when you face a certain black corn millet, you don't know what class of people he is. If you judge by the eyes of news or documentaries -- a group of ignorant and backward natives! Congratulations, you are not far from death. For example, the deceived Nulet, would he imagine that the honest-looking His Royal Highness Wright in front of him was actually a first-class engineering bachelor?
Finally after listening to these words, which were half whining and half nostalgic, Jiang Wenyi asked curiously: "How can you say that you are also a country, don't you even have the money to build a small hydropower?"
"It takes more than 20 million US dollars, and the quotations in Europe and the United States are about the same. Wright shook his head, "Even if there is international aid, it will never fall to us." In fact, for you, it is better to be practical first, get an irrigation project, and ensure the water supply of your farm. You don't have to think about reservoirs, hydropower, it should be two or three million dollars. ”
"So expensive?" Jiang Wenyi remembered that in his hometown, when the whole people mobilized to build reservoirs, hydropower and irrigation projects, benefiting most of the county, I heard that it cost millions of yuan. Of course, at that time, it was a project of 10,000 people at every turn, and there was no need for labor, but in Africa, it shouldn't be so outrageously expensive?
Unexpectedly, Wright was also quite strange about Jiang Wenyi's fuss: "Your land is 15.2 square kilometers, and the arable farmland area is more than 560 hectares, and the rest are mines, woodland, rivers, and so on. Let's not talk about anything else, let's talk about the irrigation project of the farmland, the delivery of cement from Europe, the delivery of machinery, pumping machines, etc., and the wages of workers in Europe, two or three million dollars, which is still a saving algorithm. Although we have a large number of locals, we can hire them to do farm work on your farm in the future, but in terms of engineering, we will not need it at all. ”
"No, no, no. Jiang Wenyi seemed to notice what the problem was, and hurriedly asked, "Then why don't you look for China? China not only has cheap labor, but can also manufacture reservoirs and hydropower." ”
"China?" Unexpectedly, this time it was Wright and Altea who exclaimed in unison, "Can you build reservoirs in China? Can you build hydropower equipment in China?"
Jiang Wenyi almost fainted: "Don't you know? China has just completed the Gezhouba project, one of the largest dam and hydropower projects in the world, and all the equipment is produced by China itself. ”
"Really?" Wright and the others were taken aback. Also based on the impression of news and documentaries, they also thought that China was still a very backward agricultural country.
Unexpectedly, the first person who was not calm was Wright: "According to the regulations of the new government, you can lease this land for 99 years, and the income from mineral and forest products will be divided in half with the government, all agricultural products will be tax-free, and you can have your own security company." Moreover, the investment must not be less than 10 million CFA francs (about $200,000) within two years and 30 million CFA francs within five years, otherwise the contract will be voided. Mr. Jiang, Miss Altea, you can completely bring in cheap equipment and engineering personnel from China, and it is nothing more than that the contract documents will be higher, and you will be able to hold on to the development rights of this land by stuffing some money. ”
"Huh?" Jiang Wenyi was a little curious, "Why are you so familiar with the situation of this land?"
"Huh. Wright smiled slyly, "Do you know how many times this land and the nearby ones have been sold? Most of the money I got will also be distributed to my father and the officials of Heilan City." Otherwise, can I still pick up girls in the city?"
Jiang Wenyi immediately understood, it turned out that Heilan City and the Barbaroni Kingdom were cheating investment together from top to bottom. Those formal investments are definitely reluctant to come, the investment is too big, the payback period is too long, and the security is not good, so people like Wright start looking for fools and make up stories to attract pigs like Nulet. Of course, you are really willing to invest, and the formalities are formal and the contract is open, which is completely legal and reasonable.
Seeing that Jiang Wenyi seemed a little tempted, Wright continued to persuade: "If you can solve the irrigation project with a million dollars, you can at least use 200 hectares of farmland." You can harvest about 300 tons of wheat or 400 tons of corn every year, which is about 100,000 US dollars. Add in $40,000 to $50,000 from the forest land, and the entire investment can be recouped in seven or eight years. ”
"Wait!" Jiang Wenyi became more and more confused the more he listened, and hurriedly called someone to bring a pen and paper. Obviously, his math was taught by his PE teacher. Fortunately, the physical education teacher was quite good, although it took a little longer, but it was finally clear.
A few minutes later, Jiang Wenyi raised his head with an expression of disbelief: "The yield per mu here is so low?"
Well, there is no intensive cultivation in Africa, no water irrigation, no chemical fertilizers and pesticides, no intercropping, especially no Jinkela, such a yield per mu is actually very high.
Moreover, in Fossoya, the newly formed democratic government, although a fully liberal economy, was friendly in terms of food self-sufficiency, with a 99-year lease, almost no taxes, and agreed to protect itself by foreign farmers. To tell the truth, it was really those grain merchants in Europe and the United States who deceived people too much, and the black corn was afraid of famine. As for the place, there is no problem at all, the harvest of the farm will be bought by the land snakes, and the price will be increased by one or two times and sold on the market.
It can be seen that if it is really developed, it will not be hundreds of thousands of dollars per year, but hundreds of thousands of dollars. But there are two questions here: Are there farmers who know how to work intensively? And after a bumper harvest, when the surrounding tribes are anarchic, will you be able to keep the fruits of the harvest?
Indeed, for the average outsider, it is simply a dream mansion. But for Jiang Wenyi, is this still a problem? In this era, China may lack everything, and the last thing that is lacking is the militia!
So Jiang Wenyi turned around and asked: "Dajun, has the founding of the country arrived in Germany?
