"In that case, so Xiaogang, I'm sorry. Although Taklamakan is a barren land, it is also part of the sacred territory of our country, how can it be exchanged for money? If we do this, not only will the church not agree, but even the people will not forgive us! Don't fight its idea anymore! ”

The prime minister said with a businesslike look.

Li Xiaogang smiled helplessly and said, "Okay, since you must know, then I might as well talk about it!" But, after I say it, if any of you say I'm crazy, then I won't say yes! ”

The prime minister laughed and said: "No one will say that you are crazy, you can say anything quickly!" ”

Li Xiaogang sorted out his thoughts and said, "That's the case! At present, our Institute of Agricultural Sciences is embarking on a big plan, which is called "Turning Desert into Fertile Land." Imagine what a magnificent sight it must have been for patches of green crops to suddenly emerge in the endless desert......

Li Xiaogang stopped suddenly, because he found that the three of them looked at him a little differently.

Li Xiaogang smiled bitterly and said, "Look, I knew you would have such a look!" ”

The leader hurriedly coughed a few times to hide his embarrassment, and finally couldn't help but say, "You...... Are you sure you're not kidding? ”

Li Xiaogang said with some annoyance: "I'm not a person who likes to joke!" This is indeed a plan we are working on, and it is up to you to support it or not! ”

"Xiao Gang, are you really sure? You know, this desert is expanding every day, and the cannibalistic territory is like a sword hanging over our heads all the time, and no one knows when it will be cut down! It's not that we all don't believe you. But I have been tormented by this desertification problem for too long, and I hope that there will be a solution all the time, but when the solution suddenly appears, I will inevitably have some doubts in my heart! This is also human nature, I believe you can understand it, right? Lin Chaoran said.

Li Xiaogang nodded and said, "Understood!" Be of good cheer. I'm now at least 70 percent sure it will work. ”

"Seventy!?" The chief and the prime minister shouted out in surprise at the same time. The Prime Minister smiled excitedly: "Great! No desertification expert has ever said that he is 70% sure that he can control the desert, and it seems that your research has almost entered the final stage! Well, our deserts occupy more than one-sixth of the country's land. If it can really be managed well, it will undoubtedly increase one-sixth of the habitable territory, and the living environment of the people can be greatly improved......"

"Wait, wait!"

Li Xiaogang interrupted the premier's excitement and said, "But the problem is. That's the sacred territory of our country, and it doesn't seem to be able to sell it to me! If you can't sell it to me, I won't be able to govern it, and now it seems that a qiē is just a dream! ”

The Prime Minister smiled and said, "Good boy, you're making fun of me, right?" You can't trouble me, the territory of the motherland is sacrosanct. It should not be used for buying and selling, this is an ironclad principle. Even if you can turn the desert into El Dorado, it's the same. However, people always come up with solutions! Although it can't be sold to you, the state can rent it to you, and the lease period is tentatively set at a hundred years. You can renew the lease in the future, so you're satisfied, right? ”

Li Xiaogang laughed and said to the prime minister: "I'm really convinced!" The prime minister is the prime minister, and there are always more ways than others! Then it's decided. ”

Saying that, Li Xiaogang pointed to a map of China on the wall, drew a fist-sized circle on the Taklamakan and said, "I want this part, about 200,000 square kilometers, it should be no problem, right?" The prime minister smiled and said, "What's the problem, we wish you could rent the entire Taklamakan Desert and give us a big oasis in a hundred years!" Hehe......" Li Xiaogang said: "It's still only the experimental stage, if it succeeds, don't say the entire Taklamakan and I will cover up several other deserts in my country!" ”

"Xiao Gang, is it really so big? This is no joke! ”

Lin Chaoran still looked at Li Xiaogang with some anxiety and said.

"The first thing that is needed to control the desert is water! But I warn you that the hydrological conditions of the Taklamakan are the worst of all deserts, and they have no advantage over the Sahara, and unless you grow crops that do not require water, I think you will be defeated! ”

"In my opinion, water is the easiest problem to solve, and the continuous wind and sand in the desert are my biggest headache. But don't worry, what I Li Xiaogang said and did, I will definitely not disappoint you! Li Xiaogang said seriously.

"Well, I don't know how to persuade you, although everything you do is out of line, but the end result is always happy and jaw-dropping! Well, hopefully, you've surprised us again! ”

Lin Chaoran said to Li Xiaogang helplessly.

Li Xiaogang nodded at Lin Chaoran, and then said to the chief and the prime minister: "Then can we talk about the rent now?" 200,000 square kilometers of land, rent for 100 years, how much rent do you think I should pay? But before you bring it up, I have to warn you that this is a desert, a desert with no hair, and you don't want to kill me! ”

Looking at Li Xiaogang's nervous appearance, the leader smiled: "Don't be nervous, we are very reasonable!" In this case, why should we make a one-shot deal? Why don't we cooperate, how about this 200,000 square kilometers of land even if it is the government's investment in you? ”

Li Xiaogang looked at the leader and the prime minister with some caution and said, "You guys...... What tricks are you going to play? ”

The prime minister smiled bitterly and said, "Xiao Gang, what are you doing!" Anyway, we can be your grandfather's people. You don't need to be on the lookout for us like thieves, do you? You must know that we sincerely want to cooperate with you and want to facilitate your take-off......"

"Okay, okay, I fully understand, the two grandfathers just need to explain the meaning of investment clearly!"

Li Xiaogang interrupted the prime minister's words with a wry smile and said bluntly.

Li Xiaogang was very simple, and the prime minister was also very simple, and said with a smile: "In this way, these 200,000 square kilometers are counted as our investment in the project you have carried out in the desert, and I think it will account for 20% of the shares!" ”

Li Xiaogang was stunned for a moment and said, "In other words, you want to get twenty percent of my benefits from the desert every year?" ”

The prime minister nodded and said, "Fair, right?" ”

Li Xiaogang looked at the two cunning and cunning old men with some annoyance, and said, "Twenty percent!" You're greedy! Do you know what I'm going to do in the desert? Do you know how much I will earn each year? ”

The prime minister and the chief each shrugged their shoulders and said, "How do we know this?" Your project hasn't started yet! However, don't worry that we will suffer, even if you don't earn a penny, we won't embarrass you, after all, you also call us grandpa. Li Xiaogang couldn't laugh or cry, and said: "I'm afraid that I will suffer!" After 200,000 square kilometers of desert are successfully managed, it will be 200,000 square kilometers of fertile land, and with the yield of the seeds we have cultivated, it is conservatively estimated that the annual food production value will exceed 10 billion.

And this batch of grain is more used to export to Iraq, so the economic interests represented in it are even greater, and there is even a high political status! Do you know what that 20 percent is? At least billions. I said two grandfathers, you are too ruthless, a small piece of hair does not grow, all day long in the dusty desert, you have to exchange for billions or even tens of billions every year, my God, I have never seen anyone who wants to be a businessman more than you! ”

The prime minister waited until Li Xiaogang finished venting before he laughed and said: "Don't be so excited, you think that we are only investing in those 200,000 square kilometers of desert, then you are very wrong!" ”

"I really hope I'm wrong, but I can't think of anything else?" Li Xiaogang said with a wry smile.

The prime minister smiled: "Young people, you can't always focus on immediate interests. Why do so many large enterprises rush to cooperate with the government and take advantage of the government in vain? What they value is the power of the government. The authority of the government will reduce a lot of trouble and get a lot of convenience for them. Compared to these, those 200,000 square kilometers of desert are nothing at all! ”

"Yes, Xiao Gang! If there is the participation of the government, then you are the future hero of desertification control, but if you do not get the support of the government, in the eyes of many people, you will be a hungry thief who steals the country, you have to think clearly! Lin Chaoran also persuaded.

Li Xiaogang shook his head and said: "Anyway, it seems that I have entered the wolf's den today, if I don't throw away a few taels of meat, I won't be able to get out of this door, hehe......"

"Hey, don't say it so ugly, a wolf like us who is reasonable and thinks about you everywhere, it's your luck to meet it!"

The leader waved his hand and smiled.

Li Xiaogang smiled bitterly and said: "The leader is the leader, everything must pursue fame and fortune, admire and admire!" ”

"Alright, that's all for today, it's time for us to get off work! Xiao Gang, don't think about going out safe and sound when you come today, I have already instructed the chef to prepare a sumptuous lunch, and I will entertain you with your peerless Longquan wine, we will not get drunk and go home! ”

Li Xiaogang said: "I don't care, it's just that the leader and the prime minister are in charge of everything, aren't you afraid of mistakes?" ”

The prime minister said: "Today's biggest thing for us is to entertain you well, so you don't have to worry about us" said and looked at Lin Chaoran and said: "Old Lin, why don't you go back first?" ”

Lao Lin was stunned for a moment, and said dissatisfiedly: "Don't think about it!" Dare you meet the eyes, just kick me, the introducer? Sue you, I'm going to drink this glass of wine today! ”

The prime minister smiled: "It's not that I don't invite you!" I asked you to go back to get a few bottles of peerless Longquan wine, to be honest, we don't have stock here, I heard you still have a lot of ......"

Lin Chaoran shook his head like a rattle and said: "How can there be such a truth in the world, obviously I helped you, but in the end, I had to bleed for a treat, and there was no door!" Besides, everyone was evenly divided at the beginning, and you and the leader took two more bottles than me, and if you want to drink it first, it should be mine, so you don't want to cry poor here with me, and beat my idea! ”
