Chapter 222: Niamey Suffers

After the sandstorm, it took more than two weeks for the farm to fully recover. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

But fortunately, at this time, the rainy season has just begun, so they don't waste a lot of time, although the loss caused by the sandstorm this time is very painful, but after all, it has not hurt the root, so Lin Quan can also accept it.

However, this incident still reminded him that he should pay more attention to the weather conditions in the future.

"Boss, this sandstorm actually helped us a lot!"

Lincoln had already returned from France, and when he came back, it was just in time for the farm to clean up the mess, so during this time, he went to the places he had inspected before to see it a few more times, and then found that this sandstorm did not bring all the bad news, and occasionally there was good news, for example, his sand dunes were high in the south and low in the north, so the sun in the afternoon was not very good, and some of the sun would block it, and the scattering of the sand dunes would make the grapes directly face the sun's roasting, and the moisture loss of the grapes would be more serious。

And after this sandstorm, the area he chose completely became a flat land, and the mud swept by the sandstorm from both sides of the Tailu River happened to land in this area, making the sand on his side also mixed with a lot of soil, which is indeed good news!

"Well, I see, but that little bit of soil is not enough, and I'm going to have the workers dig up more soil in the Tailu River, and help you spread a layer over there, and then add a little more fertilizer, so that you have a better chance of surviving after planting. ”

"Well, by the way, you can tell me directly what fertilizer you want, lest I mix the wrong fertilizer by then, and you will have to change places again!"

The grapes in the farm suffered heavy losses, so Lin Quan was ready to replant a batch, so he thought of buying fertilizer, and the land environment on Lincoln's side was even worse, if he didn't use chemical fertilizer, he was afraid that it would be more difficult to survive, so he said to Lincoln, let Lin Quan greet him in advance, and when the time comes, he will come to himself to ask for this and that, he has a lot of things, once he enters the rainy season, everything will start to get busy, and when he gets busy, he can't take care of anything.

"Okay, I'll tell the boss about you then!"

Lincoln nodded, wondering if he would measure the soil composition again before deciding what fertilizer to use.

And Lin Quan had just finished his work with Lincoln's side, and Steiger's phone call came again.

"Hey, Boss Lin, I heard that your farm was hit by a sandstorm, is the situation serious?

On the second day after the sandstorm hit, Lin Quan sent a report to the Ministry of Agriculture of Niger, asking for a certain amount of post-disaster subsidies, but it was more than two weeks before Steiger called back.

"Thanks to you, no one can die for the time being, although the trees are blown down, but people are okay after all!"

Lin Quan was dissatisfied, so his attitude was not too friendly, and what he said was a gun and a stick, which made Steiger's heart feel very uncomfortable after listening to it.

"I know that you are a little dissatisfied with me in your heart, thinking that our side did not react at the first time, sent you support forces, and did not send you material support, but you have to understand us, we are also in trouble!"

Steiger hesitated slightly, but he still decided to be honest, like this kind of misunderstanding, it is best to eliminate it in the embryonic stage, otherwise the more it is delayed, the greater the bad impact will be, and it will not be beneficial to anyone at that time, so he decided to patiently explain to Lin Quan, it is best to eliminate the misunderstanding, otherwise the impact on his next things will only be great.

"Oh, what are your difficulties? What are your difficulties, tell me about them?"

Lin Quan is indeed a little strange, it stands to reason that Steiger's main task during this period of time is to keep an eye on these farms in the north, so that everyone can seize the time to work hard when the rainy season comes, and work hard to complete this year's tasks, so he should have been active in the north for a period of time, and there should not be a situation where he can't see people for two weeks.

And in addition to this kind of thing on the farm, the sandstorm may affect more than Lin Quan's farm, and he didn't come to take a look, no matter how he thought about it, he felt that something was not right.

So maybe it's really like Steiger said, there is really something difficult on his side of this matter.

"Did you know that this sandstorm affected Niamey!"

Steiger said on the other side of the phone, and this news surprised Lin Quan, and subconsciously said: "No, right? Niamey is more than 700 kilometers away from me! This sandstorm is not a typhoon or hurricane, how can it run so far?"

The scope of the sandstorm is indeed very large, but compared with the natural disaster with strong pressure clouds such as the typhoon hurricane, its power and influence are much smaller, generally speaking, after the sandstorm moves for a certain distance, it will be too much because of the resistance and lack of stamina, and gradually disappear, so most of the sandstorm weather in the north will only affect some cities in the north, and rarely affect these areas in the hinterland of the Central Plains, which is called a geographical barrier.

And this time the sandstorm doesn't seem to be very wide, from Lin Quan's farm to Niamey, the distance of more than 700 kilometers is enough to make this sandstorm disappear, so Lin Quan was very surprised by Steiger's statement, he didn't doubt Steiger's words, such a thing must not be fake, and if something like this happened, Niamey must have been greatly affected, after all, this is a metropolis with a population of more than one million, although for China such a city can only be called a small city, but for Niger, Niamey is the largest city。

Every year, when a sandstorm breaks out in Beijing, during the most serious days, factories will be shut down, schools will be closed, the city will carry out traffic control, and the Meteorological Bureau will issue a red warning, which will affect people's clothing, food, housing and transportation.

And Beijing has been plagued by sandstorms for many years, so there are plans in this regard, but even so, every time a sandstorm comes, it will still make Beijing very embarrassed.

Niamey, the capital of Niger, is only a city in the least developed countries, where do they have such a plan, and their organizational skills are really poor, so every time something like this happens, the impact on them is very large.

If it weren't for this, Niger's agriculture would not have suffered such a heavy loss.

Therefore, this time Niamey was affected by sandstorm weather, which will definitely bring a lot of trouble to the city, so Steiger's side did not come to the north to inspect for more than two weeks, and it seems that there is a real reason.

"How's it going? Is the situation serious, and how much has it been affected?"

Niamey has not experienced the direct impact of sandstorms in the past, but the number of such times is very rare, and such things often occur in winter, and sandstorms like this in spring are the first time in the history of sandstorms in Niamey, so they are quite caught off guard.

"The situation is relatively serious, more than 300 people died due to the disaster, most of them died of respiratory failure after inhaling sand and dust!

Steiger's voice sounded a little sad, but the last sentence was very firm!
