There are no significant seasonal variations in the Novo Islands, with temperatures ranging from 20 to 30 degrees throughout the year, with slightly warmer temperatures during the day and not too low at night.

There are three reclining chairs on the deck of the large freighter, Gu Kaiwen is lying in the middle, and Sun Fei and Zhang Weihai are lying on both sides.

Zhang Weihai is reporting to Gu Kaiwen the details of the lake's coral reef restoration plan.

"Mr. Gu, according to the latest plan, if we want to complete the restoration of the coral reef of the lake within 12 months, then we must increase investment. Zhang Weihai explained.

Gu Kaiwen looked up at the starry sky, the starry sky here is different from Shengqing, the sky here is very thorough, and the stars in the sky are visible to the naked eye.

"It's not a problem to invest more, you tell me more about it. Gu Kaiwen responded.

Zhang Weihai explained, "Because we want to limit the restoration time of the coral reef to 12 months, for every square meter of seabed area, we still cultivate 10 coral limbs, but for the sake of conservatism, I think we should use a 10-centimeter length and a multi-branch one." ”

Gu Kaiwen was stunned for a moment, and then responded, "Isn't that equivalent to taking a whole coral?"

"No, no, no, just a small branch of polyps. Zhang Weihai responded.

Gu Kaiwen frowned, "If we use this specification of polyp amputation, can we find a supplier? By the way, how much does it cost to use this specification of polyp limb?"

Zhang Weihai first answered the first question, "The supplier can definitely be found, as long as..."

Gu Kaiwen interrupted Zhang Weihai, "Let me first state that although I hope to complete the restoration of the lake's coral reefs within the specified time, I don't want the east wall to be demolished to replace the west wall. ”

The so-called demolition of the east wall and the repair of the west wall is to pick all the coral reefs in other places and then get them to the Novo Islands.

Gu Kaiwen definitely can't accept such a thing!

Zhang Weihai responded, "There is no need to worry about this, not only will you not allow it, but my conscience will not allow it." ”

"That's good!" Gu Kaiwen breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that because of the too big interests, it would eventually lead to a bad result.

"This specification of polyp limbs is a little more expensive in terms of price, and the cost of each leg may reach 10 to 12 yuan. Zhang Weihai explained the price problem.

The price of a one-centimeter polyp's severed limb is only one yuan, but the cost of a ten-centimeter polyp soars directly to 10 yuan to 12 yuan, which is a bit huge.

"Because the size of the coral severed limb is larger, more space is needed when transporting, and there is better maintenance equipment, and the transportation cost is evenly spread, which may reach 1.5 yuan to 2 yuan. Zhang Weihai continued.

"Finally, the labor cost, the planting scheme of large coral limbs and small coral limbs is different, the planting of large coral limbs is more difficult, and the planting process is more, so the labor cost may also be increased to the extent of 1.5 yuan to 2 yuan. Zhang Weihai explained.

Taken together, the price of one square meter has increased from the initial 5 yuan to 130 yuan to 160 yuan, which is a very exaggerated increase, at least 26 times the increase.

Gu Kaiwen frowned!

If calculated according to the minimum cost, the investment amount has risen to nearly 4 billion, and this offer seems to be twice as much as the 2 billion Zhang Weihai said, right?

"The total investment is about 4 billion?" Gu Kaiwen asked rhetorically.

Zhang Weihai nodded slightly embarrassed, this investment amount far exceeded the situation he said at the beginning, this is Zhang Weihai's prediction mistake, because last year's large-scale bleaching of coral reefs around the world, this year's large-scale introduction of polyp amputation prices have increased a lot.

In particular, the price of large polyp limbs has increased a lot, which led to Zhang Weihai's miscalculation.

Sun Fei complained on the side, "This error is too big!"

Zhang Weihai said the reason, and finally said helplessly, "That's no way, last year coincided with a catastrophe, and the time limit is very short, so much investment is indeed needed." Of course, if Mr. Gu accepts a little longer, say three or four years, this investment will drop to about 600 million. ”

Zhang Weihai added, "It's only three years, more than 3 billion, more than 100 million a year, I don't think it's necessary to save this time, right?"

To be precise, save at least 1.1 billion a year!

Ninety-nine percent of the world's people don't make 1.1 billion a year!

However, Gu Kaiwen retorted without hesitation, "No, it must be executed according to the 12-month period." I'll solve the problem of funds, I can take out 1.4 billion now, and the remaining 2.5 billion, give me a little time. ”

Zhang Weihai asked rhetorically, "How long will it take for Mr. Gu to solve the problem?"

Gu Kaiwen thought about it, "Three months at most." ”

"Then there is no problem!" Zhang Weihai responded, "If Mr. Gu can solve the funding problem within three months, the restoration of the lake's coral reefs can proceed smoothly." If... I'm afraid that can only be suspended. ”

What Zhang Weihai means is that if Gu Kaiwen does not solve the problem of funding within three months, the restoration of the lake's coral reefs will probably be suspended.

In fact, Zhang Weihai is not optimistic that Gu Kaiwen can solve the financial problem within three months.

After all, in Zhang Weihai's view, spending 4 billion to govern a lake is still a ghost place where birds don't, isn't this kind of investment a waste?

What if the lake comes back to life?

It's not a hellish place where birds don't!

It's just that Gu Kaiwen has to insist, what else can Zhang Weihai do?

Of course, follow the gold owner's father!

What the gold owner's father said is right!

"No problem, it's only three months, I can fix it. Gu Kaiwen responded with an oath, "Expert Zhang, you get a detailed plan for me, and I will go back tomorrow to raise funds." ”

"Okay!" Zhang Weihai got up from the recliner after agreeing, "I'll make a plan first." ”

After waiting for Zhang Weihai to leave, Sun Fei spoke, "Boss Gu, although I know that you have money, you are too wasteful, right?"

Even if the money is not his own, Sun Fei is still distressed!

If Sun Fei is given 3 billion R&D funds, Sun Fei can guarantee 100% that he will develop an incomparably powerful drone.

But Sun Fei couldn't get 3 billion R&D funds!

"Why is it a waste?" Gu Kaiwen asked rhetorically.

Sun Fei complained, "What's wrong with being two or three years late? It's only two or three years, and that's an investment gap of more than 3 billion." ”

For ordinary people, two or three years is really not a big problem.

But for Gu Kaiwen, two or three years is a big deal!

Although the investment is far beyond the budget, the annual output of 2,500 kilograms of excellent coffee, even at the price of 1.2 million Xia Guoyuan a kilogram, the total annual sales can reach 3 billion.

Besides, how could Gu Kaiwen sell to the local tyrants in the United States according to the conscience price of Xia Guo?

Isn't that disrespectful to the local tyrants?

Gu Kaiwen glanced at Sun Fei, "You don't understand, I don't blame you!"
