Chapter 537: Operational Guidelines
Mr. Winter didn't lie to him, the new ten teams were ready to meet with him now, and when they were ready, he asked Sebastian to start calling people over.
A total of 11 groups of service teams, the first 10 groups to talk about the same content, to give them four accounts, each of these accounts has 100 million US dollars, their task is to build two food bases, two security companies and a grain processing plant in designated African countries, after the completion of company registration, land purchase, housing construction, the formation of a basic management team can get rid of it, and then only need to carry out fixed fund management, even financial supervision is not needed, because that will be taken over by a professional accounting firm.
For this part, Chen Dahe considered hiring several accounting firms with a good reputation in Europe to complete, not necessarily the so-called five major firms, one of the five major Arthur Andersen later went bankrupt because of the false report issued to Enron, and the result was that the five major became the big four, so the name is not necessarily reliable, the most important thing is the reputation, as long as it is a reputable old club can be considered, with them to conduct regulatory audits, there should be no problems in accounting.
For the location and main project of the preparation company, there is also a detailed description in the information given to them by Chen Dahe, and they only need to follow the instructions to operate.
With the African agricultural materials provided by Thierry, Chen Dahe divided Africa into four major grain-producing regions after a month and a half of field investigations.
The first is the tropical rainforest area, which includes the Congo Basin and the Gulf of Guinea coast of 100~200 kilometers wide belt area, this area within the perennial high temperature and rain, almost no seasonal changes, this kind of place is certainly not suitable for the ripening and harvesting of annual grains, and various pests and diseases under hot and humid conditions are also a major obstacle to the growth of grains.
In this case, the food crops in this place can only be tropical potatoes, including cassava, potatoes, corn and a small amount of rice, etc., potatoes are native to tropical Africa, with good taste and high yield, but it is labor-intensive and fertilizer-intensive. Cassava has wide adaptability, easy to grow, does not have high requirements for water and fertilizer conditions, and has few flower workers, which is very suitable for planting in sparsely populated tropical areas, but the processing and milling of cassava is more troublesome, but these are not a problem for Chen Dahe, just a little machine, and it is transported over.
The second is the savannah region of Central and West Africa, which roughly covers the area from 10 to 18 degrees north latitude, from south to north, with shorter and shorter rainy seasons and less precipitation. Grain crops are mainly drought-resistant and heat-tolerant crops such as sorghum and millet, among which sorghum has slightly higher requirements for water conditions, so the distribution is more southern, millet is more drought-tolerant, and the distribution is more extensive, the most planted is cereals, followed by hungry rice, the latter is not only drought-tolerant, but also barren-tolerant, and is planted more in areas with poor soil.
In addition to those crops, potatoes, beans, maize and rice are also grown in the area. Previously, crop yields in this area were low and unstable due to a variety of factors, but as long as there are professional agricultural technology and agricultural machinery to support them, these are not a problem.
The third is the savannah region of East and South Africa. The water conditions here are slightly better than those in the savannah areas of Central and West Africa, and the grain crops are dominated by maize, followed by cassava, sorghum and millet.
The fourth is the Mediterranean climate zone, which includes the Mediterranean coast of North Africa and the southwest of South Africa. Barley has an absolute advantage, followed by corn and beans, especially in Egypt because of the guarantee of irrigation water, more rice planting, although the last investigation, Chen Dahe bypassed Egypt, but it does not mean that he will give up this area, but here will be special treatment, he will entrust the last group of service team to the United Kingdom to buy a grain company, and then in the name of this company to invest in Egypt, due to historical reasons, British companies have natural advantages here, so that the operation will be a lot less troublesome.
In these regions, Kenya, Tanzania, Cameroon, Algeria, Sudan, and Zambia are the main grain-producing countries, and they are also the places where he focuses on explaining, but unlike the traditional planting habits of these countries, he will explain to these newly formed grain companies to re-select the planting varieties, because these things they originally planted were more caused by extensive agricultural planting methods, and now they have changed to fine management, so they naturally have to select crops with more economic value.
In addition to these areas, the two companies that invested in Lisa last time can also grow grain in Madagascar and surrounding areas, so that more than 20 grain bases can act together, although large and small, but enough to cover millions or even tens of millions of acres of land.
With the high yield of potatoes and corn, with the support of professional agricultural technology and machinery, the minimum yield of one or five tons is there, and the yield of rice and wheat will be much lower, but this part of the proportion will not be very high, so to make an average, the yield of one ton per mu is still guaranteed, and then these crops are processed and transported out, three or four million tons of flour and rice should be easy, if done well, this estimated amount should be much higher, at that time, as long as the news is revealed to the Soviet Union, or in other ways, such as getting a shell trading company to do a transit or something, it is not too simple to sell it to themγ
Moreover, these grain bases do not mean that they can only grow grain, and the forage produced by planting can be used for breeding, so the relevant farms, slaughterhouses, freezing plants and meat processing plants need to be matched to form a relatively complete food supply system.
It won't take long, and if you move quickly, you will be able to make a big harvest next fall.
After talking with the first ten teams, four or five hours have passed, and now the sky outside has darkened, and the last group, that is, the first group of teams, can call it a day.
"Mr. Sebastian," Chen Dahe said to Sebastian who had just entered the door, holding up a tired smile, "You can invite the last group of people in." β
"Mr. Enzo," Sebastian looked at him with some concern, "you seem tired, do you need to take a break and talk to them after dinner?" β
Chen Dahe was stunned, "Is it time for dinner?"
Saying that, he looked at the sky outside the window, and then raised his wrist to look at his watch, "It turned out to be past six o'clock,"
"That's it," Chen Dahe looked up at him and smiled, "There's no need to rest, I'll invite them to dinner, and we'll talk and talk." β
"No problem," Sebastian shrugged and grinned, "Mr. Enzo, maybe I've discovered the secret of your success, hard-working people are always more likely to come out!"
Obviously, this sycophant is really not of any level, and can only give three points, not more.
Chen Dahe smiled and didn't speak, but he was thinking in his heart, if you are diligent, it will be useful, the 200 million migrant workers in China in the last life have already become billionaires, how many people in the world can be more diligent than them? But how many can really get ahead?
Luck and ability are the keys to success!
