Chapter 194: The Lion Opens His Mouth
A person, a dream?
He Wandong looked at Ling Zikai puzzled, not knowing what he meant.
Ling Zikai said: "One person, referring to Sister Du Juan.
She is a member of the Durenque tribe.
This is a people known as the 'people of the mountains'. They have lived in the Hung Yen Mountains for generations, and this dense forest is their home.
But now, the home has been destroyed. What they have lost is not only a quiet life, but also spiritual sustenance.
Speaking of which, I've known this godsister of mine for less than three months.
She is an orphan whose relatives were buried by a landslide in a flash flood and their bodies have not been found. My father adopted her, and the two of them worked together to contract the farm.
Perhaps, among all the forest farm contractors in Yunhai, they are a wonder.
After four or five years of operation, the forest farms contracted by other families have begun to have more or less income, but our forest farms have been investing. By the time I came to the forest farm, ten years had passed, and people had already reaped millions of millions of profits, while our forest farm was burdened with more than 20 million yuan in debt, and there was no income to speak of, and this predicament will continue in the next ten years.
Do you know why?"
Speaking of this, Ling Zikai stood up and said, "Uncle He, come with me!"
He Wandong didn't know what Ling Zikai was going to take him for, so he stood up curiously, followed Ling Zikai, and walked out of the wooden house.
I walked more than 100 meters along a mountain road next to the wooden house and came to the top of a small hill.
Ling Zikai pointed to the mountains on all sides with his right hand and said, "Uncle He, how about you take a look at the surrounding scenery?"
Looking far away, I saw that under the blue sky, the winding mountains rose and fell one after another, and the green forest sea came from a faint roar. Everywhere you look, it does bring a kind of immensity shock.
He Wandong couldn't guess the other party's true purpose for a while, so he glanced at Ling Zikai with an inquiring gaze, meaning to say: You brought me here, definitely not just to let me appreciate the magnificence of this forest sea!
Ling Zikai smiled and said, "You start from this mountain under our feet and extend it to the north, take a look at the scenery around here, what's so peculiar?"
He Wandong followed the range drawn by Ling Zikai with his arm, and after looking at it several times, he let out a cry of surprise from his mouth and said: "The scenery around here is really a little different! Why are the trees in the surrounding mountains and forests growing extraordinarily luxuriant, lush and green like a green velvet carpet; while these nearby woods are of different heights and types, but they look colorful, which is not bad." ”
"Within this color range is the Yunhai Forest Farm. ”
"Why is this happening? Is it because you lack the funds and invest less than others, so these trees grow slowly? In my opinion, if these trees in the forest farm want to become mature, they will have to be at least ten years later than those of others. It's no wonder that people already have a lot of income, and you are still operating in debt, which really can't produce economic benefits as fast as others!"
Ling Zikai shook his head and said, "Uncle He, what do you think of the current genetically modified crops?"
Seeing that Ling Zikai suddenly turned to another topic, He Wandong couldn't help but be stunned and said, "Why did you ask this question?"
Ling Zikai did not answer He Wandong's question, and only said to himself: "Although genetically modified crops have great benefits for increasing crop yield, improving quality, and improving drought resistance, cold resistance, and resistance to diseases and pests, why is there a great response to genetically modified crops now?"
Some people likened it to a 'mule'.
Because this is a sterilized product, once it is widely promoted, it will have an extinction effect on the original wild crops. Moreover, after the planting of genetically modified crops, the land will be permanently unable to be replanted with the original species. ”
He Wandong naturally understands the dangers of genetically modified crops, but he doesn't understand what Ling Zikai's genetically modified crops have to do with these forests in the forest farm, so he said suspiciously: "I've only heard of genetically modified soybeans, cotton, wheat, etc., but I've never heard of genetically modified trees!"
Ling Zikai smiled: "Uncle He, I'm just using GMO as an analogy. The lush forests you see in front of you are fast-growing forests that we see as genetically modified crops, and our forest farms are all native natural forests. If you had to choose, which way would you choose?"
He Wandong said with some hesitation: "Your question is really a little difficult to answer. From the perspective of economic benefits, the choice of planting fast-growing forests is more effective, but in the long run, it is undoubtedly more sustainable for native natural forests. It should be a matter of people!"
"I once asked Sister Du Juan why she wanted to take the path of development of primeval natural forests, can you guess what she said?"
"How?"
Ling Zikai was silent for a long time, looked up at the mountain forest in front of him, and said word by word in a low, poignant voice: "She said that our people in Durenke have lost the mountain that our ancestors have relied on for generations, and our tribe known as the 'people in the mountains' has gradually disappeared from this world. I just want to have a home of my own here, so that our 'Durenque tribe' can leave one last testimony in this world!"
"A testimony! a testimony! a testimony ........"
Ling Zikai's voice echoed in the mountains and forests, and it didn't stop for a long time!
"I see! That's probably why you've been refusing to work with me!"
He Wandong looked at Ling Zikai, who was a little depressed, and said leisurely: "You want to let the cuckoo girl realize the dream of fulfillment in your heart." ”
Ling Zikai shook his head and said, "Uncle He, the dream I am talking about refers to another person!"
"Could it be that there is another story?" He Wandong asked with interest.
"That's right!"
Ling Zikai nodded and said, "This dream belongs to Professor Lin Xing'an, who made that plan.
At the Northern Provincial Forestry University, people called him a 'forest maniac'.
He used his life savings to start an experimental base. Like a beggar, he went around to raise funds, and spent ten years of painstaking efforts, but in the end, his experimental base faced the dilemma of dying.
Unwilling to let himself fail like this, he resolutely gave up his coveted professorship, resigned from public office, and came to my forest farm to re-establish an experimental base.
I asked him: What are you trying to do with such an unrealizable experiment?
After laughing a little, he said lightly: Isn't it true that people will live for seventy or eighty years in this life, since God has descended on us, we must leave something in this world!
Uncle He, just like you said, how can my small Yunhai Forest Farm develop, and how big can it be? Instead of this, it is better to fulfill the wishes of their hearts!"
Actually, there is another very important reason, Ling Zikai did not say it, as a new generation of shamans, the wish in the hearts of these two people is not the mission given to him by the Great Mountain Ancestral God!
It's just that what he didn't expect was that while he was strongly supporting, he also gained two loyal fans!
He Wandong looked at the young man in front of him with clear eyebrows and a lofty spirit, listened to his simple and sincere words, and fell into deep contemplation.
For those words such as ideals and true feelings, He Wandong doesn't know how many years he hasn't heard anyone say it in front of him.
Almost all of the topics he heard and saw were that someone's company went bankrupt overnight;
In order to make an actress who acted in a tertiary film popular, someone did not hesitate to spend hundreds of millions of money;
But what Ling Zikai said made him involuntarily start to ask himself: What is the desire in my heart?
Is it to develop Tianlong Group into the world's largest * distributor?
Or do you become the richest man in the world one day, then buy an island in the Pacific Ocean and enjoy a life in paradise?
After a disaster occurred somewhere, I once generously donated millions of dollars for disaster relief, but did my heart really come from kindness, or did I want to use this to make a free advertisement?
He Wandong felt that his heart was a little messy, and he could only comfort himself: everyone has their own way of living. In this world, everyone cannot be a gentleman, and it is impossible for everyone to be a villain. If there are no criminals, then there is no need for the police to exist!
Thinking of this, He Wandong suddenly found that he had been talking to Ling Zikai for a long time, but he still failed to achieve his true purpose of coming to Yunhai this time, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Brother Ling, you gave me a clear reply, can we cooperate in building a medicinal material base?"
Ling Zikai thought for a while and said, "It's not impossible for us to cooperate with each other, but you must promise me one condition!"
"On what terms?"
"In the future cooperation, I must account for more than 50% of the shares, in other words, I have the absolute right to speak about the future development of the base!"
"This can't be?"
He Wandong almost did not hesitate, and immediately rejected Ling Zikai's condition, saying: "In business, I took out nearly 3 billion funds, but I can't control it, even if I agree, the board of directors of the group will not approve it." There's only one way to have control, and that's if you're contributing more than I do. You're not trying to tell me that your forest farm is worth more than three billion, unless there's a huge gold mine buried beneath our feet. ”
Ling Zikai had long expected that He Wandong would have such a strong reaction after hearing about his investment conditions, so he didn't show much surprise on his face, and said confidently: "Of course I know how much my forest farm is worth, let alone three billion, even if you gave six hundred million shares before, it is very high." Moreover, there will be no gold mines under our feet, and even if there is, it will belong to the state. ”
Hearing Ling Zikai say this, He Wandong let out a long breath in his heart, thinking, "You are still a little self-aware. Please, even if you want to joke with me, don't open this lion's mouth without bounds!"
However, Ling Zikai's next sentence completely collapsed He Wandong's psychology!
