Chapter 373: Selling Green
At the beginning of July, An Feng flew in the sky.
The addiction to racing is over, and then it becomes playing with airplanes. Helicopters have been proficient for a few years, and recently there has been a trend towards fixed-wing, from single-engine fixed-wing, multi-engine business jets, to supersonic aircraft, more or less in contact.
But this time it's not acrobatics in the air, it's to pick people up.
During this holiday, the bear child in China was restless, shouting that she wanted to come to her uncle to play, the country was too boring, and there were some serious things, so she flew to the United States with her parents and grandparents. After landing at the airport, they took a ride to Santa Monica Airport with a familiar transfer.
An Feng arrived at the airport early, and when his mobile phone lit up, he answered the phone to report his location.
I met the family at the entrance of the airport.
"Uncle, I want to kill you!" Xiaoyu's mouth is very sweet, when she sees him, she turns into a butterfly and pounces, An Feng opens his hands and has a bear hug with her, laughs and picks it up and turns around before putting it down, the girl is jumping around like clockwork, and she is full of energy and not like she has been on a plane for more than ten hours.
An Feng looked at her, who had grown a lot taller: "I haven't seen you for half a year, girl, you have gotten rid of your little ones!" ”
"Of course, I'm growing up, and I'll be taller than you when the time comes." Xiao Yu is taller than him, he is ten years old this year, and the little insect who gave horse urine to An Feng as red wine back then has grown taller now. An Feng smiled when he heard it: "Don't be as tall as me!" ”
Her sister reminded her: "It's you and your aunt." ”
"Oh." The girl nodded understandingly, she wants to be more than one meter eight tall with An Feng, and she is too tall to be a model, how can her husband raise her head and behave in the future?
"My aunt is so beautiful, I want to be like her when I grow up." Xiao Yu followed An Feng and said.
"Eat healthy, eat more greens and exercise. You will. An Feng touched her head, "Let's go, your aunt is also waiting for you!" ”
Arriving at the airport, they each got on the plane, and their luggage was put in the storage area on the side. An Feng coolly wore a pair of sunglasses and sat in the cockpit. After wearing headphones and contacting the control tower, he was allowed to take off. An Feng drove the helicopter to take off very smoothly, and began to speed up after the altitude was suitable.
After the AW139 has been modified, a lot of soundproofing and sound-absorbing equipment have been installed, and as soon as the cabin door is closed, the sound in the cockpit becomes very slight, and An Feng's family has also diverted their attention from the noise, talking about this new aircraft, and then looking at the scenery of the ground under their feet......
Almost an hour after the flight. Arrive above the vineyards.
Xiaoyu stood up, looked at the land below through the porthole, identified the landmark, and muttered whose home this was, whose home it was...... It sounds like the names of some of her former friends, and this friendship has been in touch since An Feng came to live in the United States.
"Wow! Uncle's house is green! Xiaoyu shouted, "What a big labyrinth." And the fountain! ”
Everyone gathered around the porthole, and there were more than 100 acres of green space below. The green is full of greenery, and the center of the green space is planted with carefully pruned evergreen trees, neatly and neatly, and it looks like a symmetrical figure from above, and there is a fountain in the middle, which is very beautiful.
This is the result of recent land transformation. One hundred acres, or more than six hundred acres in the country, is quite a small area, and now it is completely open green space, with trees and flowers at intervals. There are also a few horses strolling leisurely in the distance.
After An Feng stopped the plane, he asked with a smile: "How about looking at the garden and green space I created?" ”
The brother-in-law said, "Originally, grapes were grown here, right?" ”
"Don't plant now, switch to high-tech." An Feng asked them who didn't understand to come into the house.
The first thing Xiaoyu did when she entered the house was to come to her aunt and greet her sweetly, and her English was not bad.
Joanna kissed her on the forehead: "My dear, you're very welcome to be your guest!" ”
After everyone was seated, the maid served tea and snacks, and Mr. Brandon, who had a slightly serious face and a slightly serious face, stood behind the hostess, his eyes paying attention to the details. Seeing these orderly scenes, my mother whispered to my father: "It's like a landlord!" ”
An Feng smiled: "This house is too big, and when do we usually have it, it's better to hire some people to manage it." ”
"If you put it in the country, it will be the unhealthy trend of the landlords." Dad joked that the older generation is used to being diligent and thrifty, and they are not suitable for this kind of scene where someone serves tea and pours water throughout the whole process.
"It's in a star-rated hotel or a high-end restaurant." An Feng said.
"That's all it can be." My sister said.
The lack of adaptation is only short-lived, over the years, An Feng has supported them in many ways, the standard of living has steadily improved, and after seeing a lot of big scenes, it is only a matter of time before they adjust and adapt. After getting acquainted, we chatted about the green grass just now.
But the brother-in-law was particularly puzzled: "Aren't the grapes grown in the hot gravel soil?" How can you grow grass on it and it grows so well? ”
An Feng nodded: "That place is indeed sandy loam, which is not suitable for growing other plants, but I have used a new type of plant that is more adapted to the environment, which can adjust and adapt to this environment that is not conducive to growth." ”
Everyone listened to some of them, and the summary was "science".
After An Feng briefly explained to them, he chatted about something else, and when everyone digested the snacks, the fatigue of the long-distance trip also hit, and the housekeeper arranged for them to rest. Brandon reminded An Feng in his ear at the right time: "Sir, you have a schedule at three o'clock in the afternoon, and you need to go to the ecological base. ”
"I see, thanks." An Feng said.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, An Feng went to the nearby ecological base, that is, the wasteland that he bought by the way, with a lot of gravel, a large cost of renovation, and no one to develop it. Later, because of the needs of the "Green Earth" plan, Anfeng bought it as a large-scale outdoor experimental base for the planning team.
They have achieved very good results, and An Feng's month-long earth-shaking greenfield is the result, and now he needs to participate in the discussion of several company operations. Two months ago, the company registered as "Green Earth" was established in the local area, and the base is located here.
The nature of the company is unique, it is funded by Ann Industries, research centers and the private sector, so that the projects developed are not limited to botany. Green Earth is a big concept, and it also encompasses desalination, adaptable plants, and specialized fertilizers.
An Feng mainly discussed costs and commercialization with Sam, the director of R&D, and the company's management.
In fact, it is to discuss how to "sell green".
Sam introduced to them: "According to the current strategy, after receiving the order, we first test the natural conditions such as the land, environment and underground structure, use the computer to calculate the best plan, and gradually adjust the genes and growth habits of the plants, and allocate the appropriate fertilizer." ”
Commercialization is very complicated, for different land, the company will come up with different plans - this effectively eliminates the possibility of getting seeds on the cottage, there is a saying in ancient times that "orange is born in Huainan is orange, born in Huaibei is orange", the same reason, the growth of plants is adapted to local conditions.
This ensures that the technology must be provided by the company and cannot be stolen. It is very difficult to steal technology, and it is very time-consuming to spot check and test in the early stage of work, such as the greening of more than 100 acres of land in Anfeng, which took two months to observe and record, and only half a month to actually plant.
After Anfeng took the management to understand the process, he began to look for orders.
This time, An Feng gave convenience and took the company's R&D minister and director to talk to the governor.
The environment in California is actually quite harsh, because it is close to the desert Nevada, the northern part of California is very green, but after the central and southern parts of the city are left of the city, it is the desolate Gobi and desert, and the Palm Springs, which is only a hundred kilometers away from Los Angeles, is surrounded by a large area of desert.
So the environment California is important, and they need to be green.
After learning what they were thinking, the governor asked, "Is it harmful to the soil or groundwater?" When coexisting with other normal plants, will it cause alien invasion? ”
Even if it is recommended by An Feng, the governor has to be careful, this kind of thing is done well, it is a glorious political achievement, think about it, how beautiful is it to turn Southern California into an "oasis" with poor conditions? It's not just the governors who benefit. But if you fail, the consequences are just as severe.
In this regard, Sam said: "Each batch of seeds is based on field survey data, which means that it has no fixed nature, and the computer decides what is appropriate, and we use the most suitable seed, and the impact of the seed on the environment is far less than the change it brings." ”
"In southwestern California, for example, where it's almost all desert and uninhabited, we can grow plants with well-developed roots and are drought resistant, while around cities, like San Diego, we grow plants that grow milder and occasionally require manual care."
"On the issue of invasive alien species, please rest assured, Mr. Governor, that we are all focusing on this aspect, and it can be said that we can plant improved species and normal plants together, and the impact between them is not very large. But there is a truth to be true, the laws of nature dictate that sooner or later the good will eliminate the bad. ”
The governor listened to Sam's remarks and considered.
With opportunities and achievements in front of him, he finally made a sound decision: "Try it near Los Angeles first, the government may allocate about 10 million US dollars, and if the results are good, I believe that both residents and legislators will be willing to cooperate with you." ”
The governor is more cautious, but as the first to eat crabs, there is nothing wrong with being careful.
Eventually, Sam shook hands with the governor, and the matter was settled smoothly. Once the council has concluded deliberations and passed a fiscal resolution, a contract can be signed with Green Earth, which is also responsible for greening the land around Los Angeles to prevent sand and clean the air polluted by car exhaust.
……
The first order is a bit small, but it's an opportunity to prove yourself.
When the growth cycle is over, everyone sees a good greening effect, and the order is still worried? There are many deserts in the western United States, and turning the land green is a shortcut for many politicians to make political gains, and they will certainly be happy to participate in this plan by allocating funds from the financial plan.
When the time comes, it will not be tens of millions, but billions.
No matter how Anfeng looks, not only in the United States, but also in China, the Middle East and even other parts of the world, as long as there is a need, greening can be achieved through high technology. As far as he knows, several countries in the Middle East that have oil but no trees have always been looking forward to a green environment. (To be continued......)
