Chapter 164 United Nations Officials
"Mr. Graeme, this is the biggest achievement of our desertification prevention and control in the north, and it is also the largest farm in the north!"
Steiger's face was stacked with a smile and a hint of confidence and smugness. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Of course, the results achieved by Lin Quan Farm can be attributed to his full support and wise leadership, and I heard that the United Nations has not been very successful in several other countries, and the desertification trend of Niger's two neighboring countries is also very serious, and the United Nations has also invested a lot of manpower and material resources here, but the final results have been minimal.
This made Steiger's previous worries completely gone, no comparison, no harm, he was still worried that he spent a lot of money, but only planted 100,000 trees, which would make the people of the United Nations unhappy, but under the trust of these neighboring countries, his side has become a great success.
In this way, the people of the United Nations naturally can't just shake their faces, you must know that their money does not fall from the sky, every penny they spend needs to be explained to the member states above who have paid, and now they can take out the achievements in their hands, there is only this farm in Niger, 100,000 saplings survived, this achievement is not too good-looking, but there are achievements at all, not a complete failure, there is a fig leaf, first save face, more important than anything else.
"Well, it does look very good, what kind of trees are these outside, they look very energetic!"
As soon as they got off Highway 11, and along the farm path of Highway 11, a group of people immediately saw a large row of straight poplar trees, but they didn't see many of these trees that originated in northern China, so they didn't recognize them for a while.
"It looks like a plane tree, right? No other tree can grow that tall?"
One of them looked at it from a distance and thought it looked like a plane tree, but it was certainly not a French plane tree.
"No, the plane tree isn't so straight, and don't you think it's strange?"
Graemm's brow furrowed, because he found a very unreasonable place, this tree should have been planted for a short time, at most only eight months, how could it grow so tall now?
The height of this row of poplar trees in front of several people is almost more than five meters, according to the normal growth rate, the growth of small saplings is actually not very fast, five meters takes at least two years, and it only takes eight months to plant so high, then there is only one possibility left, that is, these trees are dug directly from other places and planted, otherwise there is no way to explain why they grow so fast.
And when he thought about it like this, he thought, is the tree in stock here a fake by Steiger and them, obviously not planted here, but dug up from somewhere else, and then just planted here?
With such doubts in mind, he took the lead and walked to the farm.
"This farm is bigger than we thought! And how can there be so many tourists here?"
Several people had already walked into the farm at this time, and after the farm workers found out about them, they had already hurriedly informed Lin Quan of them, but before Lin Quan and them rushed over, Grim wanted to walk around more, and what he found was more willing to believe in his heart.
"Well, it looks like they're all European tourists, and I don't know why they're here!"
Grim was also strange, but after a spin around them, they gradually understood.
"How many people are here? They seem to be queuing, what is this for?"
In front of them, there was a group of people queuing, the line looked a little long, there were about thirty people in front, and they didn't know what they were doing, so they asked someone to ask.
"Oh, we're here to plant a tree, come here, plant a tree in the desert, and when we come back in the future, we can see it again, this is a very commemorative thing, and it can be regarded as a contribution to the world's environmental protection!"
A middle-aged uncle with his little daughter was also queuing up seriously, and after listening to his words, Grim and the others understood.
"Encourage tourists to plant trees, and then collect a sum of money, but also attract tourists to come back to spend, and there will be repeat customers in the future, this Lin Quan is really a bit of a brain!"
After Graeme and the others understood the reason for this, they still admired Lin Quan's method a little, but a hundred dollars a tree felt a little expensive, and I don't know why these people were willing to spend this money.
"Why don't we line up and plant a few trees!!"
Steiger's has been to the farm many times, and naturally knows that this is a means used by Lin Quan to increase his farm income, and as long as he can help him plant trees, he actually doesn't care much about what Lin Quan does, and at this time he is willing to pull Grim and others to increase Lin Quan's income, and then talk to Lin Quan again, just return the $100 he paid, and sell him a favor!
"Well, no, we've got business!"
Graemm actually has the mentality of $100, plus he doesn't want to stand in line.
"As officials, we naturally want to set an example! And we haven't planted a single sapling here yet, so it's really a bit inappropriate!"
As he spoke, Steiger had already pulled Graeme and the others into the queue, Graemm was helpless, since he was pulled in, it was naturally not good to go out like this, so he had to line up honestly, but he was actually a little unhappy in his heart.
The line of thirty people was actually very fast, and in less than five minutes, they arrived.
Several people walked up to the staff, and after the staff registered their information, they gave them some tools to choose their own saplings, and then choose a random place in a large designated area to plant their own saplings.
Several people didn't study this much, and they didn't know which place was good and which place was bad, so they randomly planted the saplings with tools.
Don't say it, although it was planted indiscriminately, but because it was I who participated in the labor, several people actually had feelings for the saplings they planted, and at this time the staff also sent the nameplates of their saplings.
"Mr. Graeme, the name of this tree you chose is Poplar Tree, this is the nameplate of your sapling, please check it, if there is no problem, we will hang the nameplate of your sapling, and we will not take a group photo for you, if you want to come back to check it in the future, it will be more convenient. ”
As the staff spoke, he handed over an aluminum nameplate to Graemu, who took it and took a look, the information on it was his name and country, and then there was the date of planting the tree and the type of sapling planted, and there was a small line on the back of the aluminum nameplate: The desert is a little green, the world is very different!
He felt very interesting, and touched the nameplate with his own hand, the workmanship of this nameplate is not bad, and it feels very good to the touch.
Graeme looked around and found that several of his companions had also received their own nameplates, and the saplings that had been planted around them also had something about the size of the one he had in his hand.
"It's kind of interesting! It increases the sense of identity of tourists, and if anyone passes by here in the future, they will definitely come and see the saplings they have planted!"
Grim still admires the person who came up with the idea, and it's a good idea.
"Mr. Grim, are you ready for a group photo now?"
A staff member with a camera in his hand walked up to Graeme and asked politely.
"Well, okay, I'm always there!"
Soon, under the arrangement of the staff, he took a photo with the poplar tree he planted, which was now developed and quickly handed over to him, while the other photo was saved by the farm and will be placed on the exhibition wall in this area as a display item in the future, and if visitors come back in the future, they will also see their own photos on the display wall.
"Guys, I'm sorry, I was delayed in some things before, and I'm really sorry to come here now!"
And at this time, Lin Quan was also late.
