Chapter Ninety-Six: Three Requirements
In the end, Steiger's heart was heavy, but Lin Quan was very happy and sent Steiger's to the gate of the farm very warmly. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Mr. Steiger go slowly! Welcome back next time!"
When Steiger heard Lin Quan's words, he stumbled and almost didn't fall.
Thinking of those requests made by Lin Quan, he felt a little troublesome!
It's really troublesome, it's troublesome, it's not easy to do!
Styger left the farm with a heart full of concern.
But Lin Quan's side is happy, someone sent a pillow as soon as he dozed off, and good things came one after another!
Steiger's promise him a total of three things!
First things first: build a reservoir for him!
The matter of repairing the reservoir was not something that Lin Quan came up with with his head, he thought it through.
His farm will definitely expand in the future, and after the scale is expanded, it will need to consume water, and the factory in Qinchuan also needs water, and his factory is built next to Highway 11, not very far from the farm, and the water can be pumped through by installing water pipes, and they can also use it after the reservoir is built.
Moreover, in the future, his farm will develop tourism as a key development project, and the tourism industry needs to arrange for the food and lodging of tourists, which will consume a lot of water resources, and where will the water come from? The well water will definitely not be enough, and there is no need to think about it! Only by pumping water from the reservoir is that this is the only solution.
And to build a reservoir, he can also be used to develop tourism projects, in the desert area to see a forest will be very novel, if you see a large reservoir, you can also do some water sports in the desert to play, that can also be regarded as a selling point!
So repairing the reservoir has become his first requirement, he is currently using workers to dig manually, although it can be repaired successfully, but it is more time-consuming, and Lin Quan has to pay out of his own pocket, this matter is not cost-effective, since Steiger himself sent it to the door, he is a little sorry for himself.
And if the government comes to help, it will definitely use machinery and equipment, which is much faster than they can mobilize the workers to work hard!
Time is precious to Lin Quan, and it is best to build this reservoir before the end of the rainy season, before the water level of the Tailu River disappears, and then the water of the Tailu River can be diverted through the canal, and the reservoir will be ready for use before the end of the year.
The dry season in Africa is getting longer every year, and who knows how long the dry season will last, so it's always good to store more water to be prepared.
And Lin Quan gave a lot of reasons, planting trees requires a lot of water, reservoir water, can feed more people and trees, this is very helpful for this year's tree planting action, and it is also very helpful for future tree planting work, for example! There is a waterhole next to his house, and the trees next to the waterhole are already green, this is convincing enough, right?
The second thing is not so difficult compared to the first thing, before Steiger promised to let the farm's products enter the market, but this is to let Lin Quan do the sales himself, it is very difficult, he has no time and no connections, and he can't sell as well as the locals, so he doesn't care much about this matter.
However, if there is a government matchmaker, sell things directly to the government, or sell them to enterprises formulated by the government, this is very trouble-free, Lin Quan can sell the things that the Qinchuan factory does not want through the government's channels, which is of great benefit to broaden the sales channels of the farm, although it does not account for the majority, but it is always a good thing to make a little more.
The third thing was the most difficult thing for Steiger to do! Lin Quan asked the government to help improve the supporting facilities of the farm.
What are the supporting facilities? Food, clothing, housing, transportation and other aspects involved can be counted in this, including water, electricity, houses, roads, transportation, and so on.
Lin Quan asked the government to help bring the wires over, so that the living conditions of the workers could be greatly improved, the farm has no electricity at present, the electricity used by the farm is all self-generated, the electricity is very small, not enough, at least not enough for 50 people, so it is very inconvenient at night.
At present, they drink groundwater, although the groundwater in Africa is not polluted or anything, but after all, it contains a lot of microorganisms, and it is still very unsafe to drink directly, Lin Quan himself is nothing, he likes to drink boiled water, after the water is boiled once, basically there is no big problem, you can drink it after it is cold, the problem is not big.
But those workers on the farm do not have the habit of drinking boiled water, they all drink well water directly, fortunately their physique is good, plus they usually come like this, so there are few problems, but this is only for locals, foreign tourists they do not drink boiled water (it seems that only Chinese have the habit of drinking boiled water, in foreign countries they do not drink boiled water, and feel that people who drink boiled water are strange), if you directly drink undisinfected groundwater, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no problems, so bring the tap water in the city!
This is very difficult to do, and it is not easy to pull over the wires, more than 100 kilometers!
As for laying water pipes to bring water in, it doesn't even need to be considered, it definitely costs more money than putting up power lines, and the government definitely doesn't have that much money.
Okay! If you have a problem here, then I won't force it, but you have to solve the problem for me! If you can't get the wires, do you want to compensate us for some solar energy, wind generators, or whatever, and let us generate our own electricity, so that it may be more economical.
As for the problem of drinking water and domestic water, it is not difficult to solve, tap water is definitely no play, then you can provide some tools for purifying and treating groundwater! All kinds of water purifiers, disinfection machines and so on, can help us solve the problem.
As for the rest, the road repair is a cliché, the road built by the government before is simply not visible, directly with the roller pressed several times, after the rainy season the sand is loose, but also to re-level, and the farm in the traffic equipment is still not enough, the two trucks equipped before have been off for one, the performance of the pickup truck is too unexpected, good guys, the product of the eighties of the last century, but many years of car age, mileage are more than 80,000 kilometers! This number is so scary that it is equivalent to running around the Earth's equator twice.
Generally, such a car will be scrapped, and it will be sent to Lin Quan's farm, and everyone will not dare to drive it, for fear of an accident, for this matter, Lin Quan has had an opinion on Steiger, and at this time he is just asking for a new car.
After negotiation and consultation, Steiger could only agree to Lin Quan's three things, but these three things were not easy to do, especially the third one, even if it was only to provide equipment, it would cost a lot of money!
In short, these three things are very difficult to do! So Steiger's distress!
