Chapter 4 The Rose Garden Project
"Huh? What is it for? After Zhang Mei saw the construction of the pig farm, she had forgotten what she was doing, and she suddenly found that on the side of the pig farm, it seemed to be a garden in a building, and she couldn't help but ask curiously.
Boss Wang glanced at Fan Wuxian and explained to Zhang Mei, "There is a botanical garden that we are preparing to build, and now it is mainly planted with roses, and many other varieties of plants will be added in the future, all of which are biased towards cash crops." ”
At first, Fan Wuxian wanted to make the pig farm and the botanical garden into an ecological garden system, similar to the landscape of farmhouses in later generations, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that it was not quite right, the integration of animals and plants of the people, basically some animals with high ornamental value, it is estimated that not many people will like to come to him to see these stinky fat pigs, even if your botanical garden is more distinctive, but if people know that these delicate flowers or elegant orchids are irrigated with pig manure, It is estimated that everyone's good mood will be ruined.
But there are some things that you can't afford not to do, especially when you know the great value it contains.
The botanical garden on the side of the pig farm, covering an area of about 20 acres, is enclosed by a fence, and most of the roses are planted on the periphery, or there are samples of Chinese herbal medicine for crops with high economic value, and in a large space inside, a large area of Junzi Orchid is planted.
"These are Junzilan!" As soon as Fan Heng saw the orchids everywhere, he was amazed.
"Dad, do you know this thing?" Fan Wuxi was immediately very surprised.
This kind of flower is not common in the local province, and it is mainly popular in the northeast at present, and Fan Heng can say the name of this flower, which is indeed a little surprising to Fan Wuxi.
"I know a little bit about this." Fan Heng saw Fan Wuxi's surprised look, and he didn't feel a little proud, "A colleague used to be from the Northeast, and he liked Junzilan very much, and I knew a little about Junzilan from him." ”
"Oh, I see." Fan Wuxian nodded, thinking that this matter could be imagined.
It is estimated that except for Taiwan and Tibetan provinces, most other provinces have people working in the Pingyuan factory, and the workers in the northeast, which is the old industrial base of China, account for almost one-fifth.
"What are you doing with these orchids? You can't eat it as a meal! Although Zhang Mei felt that these flowers looked good, the leaves were green and lush, and some of the blooming yellow flowers were also very energetic, but she couldn't figure out how Fan Wuxi, who had always been profit-seeking, could think of planting such beautiful but useless flowers.
Fan Wuxi avoided answering his mother's question, and instead pointed to the roses next to him and introduced to her, "This garden, in the future, will still be planted roses as the main business, Junzi Orchid is only a variety for a short time, it is estimated that after next year, it will not be planted again." ”
"What do you do with roses? Do you want to grow roses as crops? Zhang Mei felt a little incredible.
Although roses have always been used as flowers of love, but in the current situation in China, only some rich people in big cities will use them, how can ordinary people be willing to spend so much money to buy roses that can only be seen for a few days to give away?
The change in the concept of consumption is not only a human problem, but also has a material basis, but Fan Wuxian has no doubt that this change will be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people within a few years.
But Fan Wuzhi wants to grow roses, not because he wants to vigorously promote this luxury in China, but because he knows that the important value of roses in the international market is irreplaceable by other flowers.
In fact, roses, roses and roses are all plants of the genus Rosaceae, and people are accustomed to call the varieties with large flower diameters and solitary flowers as Yueji, the small clusters are called roses, and those that can refine the essence are called roses.
"I just want to grow it as a crop!" Fan Wuxi pointed to the nearby wasteland and said to everyone, "If I can take down the thousands of acres of wasteland nearby, I really want to plant them with roses." ”
Rose is a deciduous shrub of the genus Rosa with prickly branches. Odd pinnate compound leaves, elliptic, with edged spines, wrinkled surface, most of the leaves and petioles conjugated. The flowers are solitary and clustered, purplish-red, pink, yellow, white, and fragrant. The most important thing is that roses are international fragrances, with petals, flower buds as raw materials can be developed a lot of products, the current development is mainly rose essential oil, rose extract, pure oil, rose sugar, rose dried flowers, etc., these are extremely valuable natural products, used as high-end perfumes, medicine, food, cosmetics, flavors, spices, and handicrafts. Fan Wuxi plucked a rose with his hand and said to everyone, "Natural flavors can be extracted from roses, which are beneficial to health. Therefore, the supply of goods is very popular in the international market. Bulgaria, Morocco, etc., the main foreign rose producing countries, are restricted by factors such as geography, land area and labor, and can not have greater development. In the international market, demand exceeds supply, and prices are rising. Due to the limitation of climatic conditions in other parts of the country, the artificial planting area is not large, which cannot meet the needs of the market, which provides a good opportunity for us to expand the cultivation of roses. "According to the climatic and geographical conditions, as long as the management measures keep up, it can well meet the requirements of rose growth and development, and the yield of flowers per mu in the full flowering period can reach 500 to 700 kilograms. And one year of planting, ten years of benefit, is indeed a project to enrich the country and the people. Fan Wuxian introduced it to everyone, but his fingers were scratched by the thorns on the rose pole, and he felt a slight pain, so he added, "Of course, it is also very good for roses to be sold directly for money, the so-called thorny roses are to describe love, and this thing will be popular in the future." ”
"Can you make sure that all the money you put in will be recovered?" Fan Heng was a little skeptical, he knew that to plant so many roses, the cost of labor, fertilizer, and management alone was quite high, not to mention that it would take quite complicated equipment to purify the beneficial substances in it.
Fan Wuxian jumped on a big rock, worthy of being able to be on par with his father, he puffed up his chest and said to everyone, "Everything is risky, but we can't do nothing because we are afraid of risks, one of my ideals is to build a rose garden with a scale of more than 1,000 acres in Panshi City, which is the first goal in my life!" ”
Seeing that everyone was looking at him with some surprise, Fan Wuxian smiled shyly, "This is my rose garden plan!" ”;
