Chapter 481: Go to Arabia and Plant Trees
King Salman said: "I hope Vientiane can use technology to help Saudi Arabia improve its natural environment...... Of course, there is a cost to improving the environment, so we are fully willing to pay for a few good oil fields with total reserves of more than 100 million tons. ”
100 million tons of oil, tens of billions of dollars. Greening certainly requires costs, but after all, Vientiane Forest focuses on public welfare, and basically does not make any money, and tens of billions of dollars are indeed too much.
Therefore, Lin Han knows very well that "improving the environment" is not the key.
In fact, it is not difficult to guess, the real purpose of King Salman must be to hope that Vientiane Technology can invest more in Saudi Arabia and promote economic transformation - after all, the current Saudi economy is too bad.
With the "shale gas revolution" in the United States, international oil prices have fallen sharply, and all countries that used to rely on oil for food have begun to enter a predicament.
Don't look at the Saudi royal family's various flaunts of wealth, but in fact, the current Saudi Arabia is almost uncovered. If it hadn't been for the reforms carried out in recent years and the efforts made to save themselves, they might have gone bankrupt.
If it weren't for the financial embarrassment and the fact that he couldn't get anything, King Salman would not have offered to pay for it with a few oil fields.
At present, Saudi Arabia has deeply realized that science and technology are the primary productive forces, and it is absolutely impossible to rely on the mountains to eat the mountains.
When it comes to science and technology, the leading enterprise is naturally Huaxia's Vientiane Group. And the well-known Vientiane Group has a well-known fetish: greening, green wherever you go.
That's why King Salman came to the door in the name of "improving the environment", in order to win over Vientiane to make more high-tech investments in Saudi Arabia and promote the country's economic transformation, at least to take a breather.
Lin Han thought for a moment, then nodded: "We are willing to bring green to any country and help your country improve the natural environment, of course, there is no problem." As for the specifics, we will discuss them in detail with you after the General Assembly. ”
King Salman smiled, "That's so much appreciated. ”
……
After the Green Industry Conference, Vientiane Group contacted Saudi Arabia several times and reached a number of agreements on greening and investment.
During this period, several other countries on the Arabian Peninsula also came to the door, and the process was roughly similar, first on the grounds of greenery, and then on the issue of investment.
According to the results of negotiations with several countries, Vientiane Group mainly got policy support and oil fields, and the overall situation is relatively generous.
Of course, most of these factories and companies have relatively high technical content.
In terms of industrial and commercial affairs, Vientiane Group has a large number of professional teams in charge, but Lin Han does not have to worry about it.
His main concern is the greening of the Arabian Peninsula.
So far, the Vientiane Forest Project has planted more than 50 billion trees in China, which has significantly improved the country's natural environment, collectively improved the country's air quality, curbed soil erosion, and turned hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of desert into a relatively livable environment.
However, 50 billion trees has reached a bottleneck for Huaxia. If the greening continues, the cost will undoubtedly increase significantly.
So it's time to start greening in other countries.
……
A few weeks later, Huaxia officials announced that the new land rising from the bottom of the sea was placed under the jurisdiction of Xiamen City, and Xiamen City was upgraded to a municipality directly under the central government.
In addition, considering the growing influence of Yunzhou City in the fields of economy, science and technology, Yunzhou City has been upgraded to a city with separate planning and a special economic zone, which is similar to Xiamen City before the upgrade.
As soon as the news came out, the housing price level in Yunzhou City rose directly to the third place in the country......
The impact of this involves all aspects, Lin Han was busy for a while, and when the company was almost done with the investment and construction of factories in the Arabian Peninsula, he led people over and prepared to start the greening business.

ps:
Originally, I was going to open the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and the mountains became plains or something...... But after carefully checking the information, I feel that it is still not feasible, and the harm outweighs the good. And there are also a lot of political issues involved, so forget it, after all, a harmonious society ......
