Chapter 0447 is happy to take it

Wang Minyi, the mayor of Binhai City, asked Gu Yu how much he planned to invest in this botanical research institute with a sense of caution, but he was also afraid that his words would be too direct and scare the God of Wealth away. But this can't be left unasked, he has to judge how much place to give Gu Yu according to the amount of Gu Yu's investment. There are many places suitable for investment in Binhai City, and the places are large and small, and the places are small, which will limit the development of the Botanical Research Institute, and if they are large, they will cause a waste of resources.

After Gu Yu obtained the manual of 10,000 kinds of plant cultivation, he planned to set up a botanical research institute in China. Although the manual indicates how to cultivate various plants, Gu Yu cannot be achieved overnight on the basis of the existing plants on the earth, and it must require a cultivation process, which requires manpower, material and financial resources.

Gu Yu directly stretched out a finger, and he made it clear that he intended to invest a total of 10 billion yuan in Binhai City.

Wang Minyi and others were overjoyed when they heard this, to be honest, 10 billion yuan is definitely not the largest amount of investment for Binhai City, and they can develop a real estate project in Binhai City casually, let alone invest 10 billion yuan, even if it is an investment of 20 billion or 30 billion yuan, it is also a very common thing. But the problem is that real estate is real estate, and it doesn't have much reference value. Unlike the Botanical Research Institute, the high-end atmosphere is high-grade, which can provide a lot of employment, enhance the image of Binhai City, and there will be a steady stream of profits and taxes in the future, etc., which are not what a real estate project can provide.

Wang Minyi's face was full of smiles, in the past, in order to attract investment, he was all around to worship the Bodhisattva, hoping that the God of Wealth would open his eyes and scatter the three melons and two dates to their Binhai City, but it was not like now, nothing was done, there was such a big God of Wealth as Gu Yu who took the initiative to invest 10 billion yuan in their Binhai City, if the God of Wealth in the whole world was so good at talking, wouldn't their Binhai City have any hope of jumping into the sequence of well-known big cities in China?

However, Wang Minyi also knows that there is nothing in Binhai City that will definitely leave Gu Yu's investment, and what can make Gu Yu make up his mind to leave the investment must be the friendly investment environment that they Binhai City has created for Gu Yu. As long as it is not to develop real estate, the investment of 10 billion yuan will definitely be not small, and Gu Yu will also become a botanical research institute, and the geographical location is particularly important.

Some of the plants involved in the plant cultivation manual like hotter climates, and some like colder places, and it is certainly unrealistic to put them all in Binhai City for cultivation, in fact, Gu Yu did not plan to do so. There is only one plant that he intends to cultivate in Binhai City, and that is the sea-resistant mangrove.

There are many reasons why seawater-resistant mangroves were chosen, the most important of which is that it is an easy project for Gu Yu to earn prestige.

Today, the whole world is under threat from rising sea levels, and the rising waters are arguably a threat to all coastal countries in the world. It's the same even in China, let alone those Pacific island countries.

Although sea-tolerant mangroves cannot prevent the serious consequences of sea level rise, if planted on a large scale, they can absorb a large amount of seawater each year, which can slow this trend considerably. This is definitely good news for the whole world.

Moreover, the seawater-resistant mangrove grows fast and has a high yield rate, so it is a very good choice for making furniture or low-grade furniture when it grows up. This reduces the demand for other timber to a certain extent, reduces the destruction and deforestation of natural forests by humans, conserves soil and water, and allows more carbon dioxide to be absorbed each year, thereby slowing down the trend of global warming, and in this way, slowing down the rate of sea level rise.

This is a thing of one ring after another, almost all of them are of great benefit to human beings, as long as it is spread, people's judgment of Gu Yu will only be better and better, and it is not too easy to contribute billions of prestige points to Gu Yu.

What's more, if this matter is done well, there will be huge economic benefits. The seawater-resistant mangroves that grow are used to make furniture or paper, and they are very profitable. Moreover, the planting of seawater-tolerant mangroves will inevitably lease a large number of sea fields, and if the comprehensive development and utilization of sea fields can be well utilized, it will be a lot of income.

However, Gu Yu does not plan to do this, at least he will not regard profit as his main goal. He plans to get a piece of dozens of square kilometers of sea field to plant trees for demonstration after successfully cultivating sea-resistant mangroves, and as for other sea areas, he still has to hand over the saplings to other people, he only needs to sell the saplings to these people. He estimated that he could make a lot of money just by selling saplings. There is really no need to stretch the coastline to the whole country or even the world.

Wang Minyi accompanied Gu Yu for a few days, and found that Gu Yu especially likes to run to the beach, he can't help but feel a little strange, although he is not an expert in plants, but some basic common sense still knows, there are thousands of plants in the world, and there are very few who really like to grow in seawater, or near seawater. Moreover, it is close to the sea, and the wind and waves are large and more, which is not conducive to the cultivation and growth of plants.

Wang Minyi kindly said his understanding of this aspect, he has to be responsible for Gu Yu's investment, if he turns a blind eye to Gu Yu's investment and can't even recover the capital, then he will be responsible. If you offend Gu Yu, the God of Wealth, not to mention it, it will also make other investors feel uneasy.

Gu Yu waved his hand, he didn't explain more, but continued to take Wang Minyi around. Wang Minyi has no choice, he can fulfill the responsibility of reminding, and if he talks too much, he may incur Gu Yu's boredom, which is not good.

After a few more days, Gu Yu finally chose a place. It's a tidal flat, with no sandy beaches, and there are very few inhabitants around, if not miles away. There's hardly any investment value here, and apart from the occasional fishing enthusiast who comes back to visit the area, the rest of the time, there's hardly anyone to see.

When Gu Yu chose this place, Wang Minyi was shocked and persuaded again. It's just that his persuasion is useless, and Wang Minyi has no way.

Finally, at Gu Yu's repeated requests, Wang Minyi signed an investment agreement with Gu Yu on behalf of the Binhai Municipal Government. Binhai City handed over this tidal flat with a total area of more than 30 square kilometers to Gu Yu for development.

Gu Yu asked Ye Rou to go to the local industrial and commercial department with the materials to apply for the establishment of the Botanical Research Institute on the same day, and after handling all kinds of documents, he injected a full two billion US dollars into the account of the institute, which was much more than the 10 billion Huaxia coins he originally promised.

Immediately, Gu Yu conducted a national bidding in the face of the Botanical Research Institute. To set up a botanical research institute, it does not mean that you have money and land, but you need to level it, you need to build roads, you need to connect water and electricity, and there is too much work to do.

During the construction of the special economic zone in BX country, the situation encountered was very similar to that of the botanical research institute, but the BX country was not very powerful, and the infrastructure there was much more backward than that in China, and the progress of related aspects was slow. On the Binhai side, from top to bottom, Gu Yu's investment is very important.

On the day the agreement was signed, the local power department sent a professional team to the botanical research institute to carry out power transmission construction, and it took a few days to build a small substation here, and the power set can reach up to 20,000 kilowatt hours, that is to say, as long as the power consumption of the botanical research institute in Guyu does not exceed 20,000 kilowatts per hour, it can be used casually. To put it more colloquially, Gu Yu can use up to 20,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity per hour.

After the power sector, the water company is also actively laying water pipelines and sewage pipes, and the transportation department is also sending people to explore and prepare to start building roads in the near future.

It can be said that all the departments that can take action have moved, and the whole of Binhai City is using substantive actions to show Gu Yu how much they attach importance to Gu Yu's investment.

These details made Gu Yu very satisfied, and he was secretly glad that he didn't choose the wrong place.

Gu Yu made such a big move here, it was difficult not to get noticed. First of all, his father Gu Changsong and his mother Zhao Yajuan came to see their son together, and then Liu Jinyong came over with the company's management team to see if he could help Gu Yu, after all, Gu Yu is a big boss, it is impossible to let Gu Yu do everything himself, what should be done for the boss is still to take the initiative to take over.

After Liu Jinyong, people rushed over one after another, but these people had no affiliation with Gu Yu. The first group of people to come was a delegation from the State Council, led by a deputy director, who said that they had gone to Binhai City to conduct research, and Gu Yu's botanical research institute, which had not yet been built, was one of the targets of their investigation.

Gu Yu didn't receive them, but handed over the matter to his father. Now, his status is enough that he doesn't care about people at the level of deputy director. The delegation did not show the slightest dissatisfaction, and repeatedly expressed its gratitude to Gu Changsong for his reception.

After this delegation, the province where Binhai City is located also organized a delegation, led by a senior official in charge of the economy, he held Gu Yu's hand, assured Gu Yu that if any difficulties encountered in this investment, you can report to him, and he will definitely approve it as soon as possible, so that people can solve it for Gu Yu. In addition, the senior official also expressed to Gu Yu his hope that Gu Yu could go to other cities in the province to see it, and there are still many good projects in the province that are worth investing in.

Gu Yu sent away the provincial delegation, before he had time to take a breath, his hometown also sent a delegation, led by the same senior officials, including Gu Yu's hometown of Zishan City, senior officials and mayors, seeing Gu Yu is a burst of complaints, saying that Gu Yu went around abroad, and forgot about the people of his hometown, did not go home first, and ran to Binhai City, and scattered a lot of money. Could it be that Gu Yu was worried that the people in his hometown would not welcome him and would not be able to come up with better conditions than Binhai City to entertain him, a wanderer?

Gu Yu couldn't cry or laugh, but he couldn't say anything. He repeatedly said that he had not forgotten his hometown and relatives, and that he would definitely go back after he was busy here.

Sending this delegation away, Gu Yu's head was big, and he directly told his father that he couldn't let the delegation come over anymore, he didn't have time to accompany these heads and brains all day long, it was too time-consuming and too energy-consuming.

Gu Changsong nodded and agreed. Now he is also following his son's rising tide, and he already has enough channels to convey Gu Yu's meaning. If Gu Yu really didn't want to receive any more inspection groups, there was a way to stop these people from coming.

However, just when Gu Changsong had just spread the news through the channel, someone handed over a message, saying that he wanted to come to the Botanical Research Institute in Binhai City to have a look. Gu Changsong instinctively wanted to refuse, but the person who delivered the message said that this was not an ordinary expedition group, but a very academic and influential expedition, which included many well-known domestic plant experts, university professors or something, and even academicians of the Academy of Sciences.

Gu Changsong hesitated a little, if it was an official person, it would be better to say something, after all, these official people still hope to get investment from Gu Yu, unless there is a major interest involved, otherwise, they are easily unwilling to offend Gu Yu. However, those who engage in academic research and scientific research are not the same as those in the official face. They may not have so much power, but the influence they have is still quite large, especially when they are united, the influence is needless to say, not to mention, there are also academicians of the Academy of Sciences, and the influence is not weak at all compared to ordinary high-ranking officials.

Gu Changsong couldn't make up his mind, as long as he told Gu Yu about it, Gu Yu would make up his mind.

Gu Yu thought about it, then nodded and asked this delegation to come over. To be honest, Gu Yu also wanted to see what they wanted to do. He didn't forget that when he just got out the dead wood aphrodisiac elixir, when he was treating the feng shui treasure tree in the villa area of Zishan City, there was a so-called professor who fought against him, and then he had a very unpleasant quarrel, and he wanted to see if this was a group of professors who came to scold him. If that's the case, he'd be happy to take it.
