As the majority of netizens and investment analysis agencies said: Governing the desert is unprofitable, is it something that only a saint or a fool is willing to do?

Zero value of business investment?

Of course, Chen Jin is not a fool, he has done sufficient research in advance and let the computer do simulation analysis.

In general, the main costs of desert management are as follows:

First of all, the labor cost of leveling the sandy land and building roads and irrigation facilities is about 2,000 yuan per mu.

The second is the purchase cost of seedlings, fertilizers, and agricultural machinery, which is about 1,500 yuan per mu.

Finally, water is irrigated more than 100 tons of water per mu every year, and the cost of water is more than 1,000 yuan per mu per year.

And you have to stick to it for more than ten years in a row to get some returns, and there is no revenue in the middle.

On the whole, according to the traditional transformation model, the total cost of transformation of one acre of land is at least 15,000 yuan.

After the transformation is completed, it is difficult for the net profit generated by planting cash crops to exceed 500 yuan/mu.

In other words, the payback period is more than 30 years.

It really takes 50 years to make a little money.

It can be called "the most unprofitable industry".

But if Xinghai Technology does this, the situation may be completely different.

The desert contracted by Xinghai Technology does not need to be done manually, and all the work is completed by robots, saving more than 70% of labor costs.

The cost of seedlings, fertilizers, and farm tools is basically the same.

There is also water, the cost of water in the desert area is more than 10 yuan/ton, and the annual water consumption per mu is more than 100 cubic meters, which is difficult to save and is the most important cost.

But Xinghai Technology has several ways to reduce this cost.

Lake Baikal, located in Russia, is the largest freshwater lake in Eurasia and the deepest lake in the world, with an average depth of 730 meters.

Lake Baikal contains a total of 23.6 trillion cubic meters of fresh water, which is equivalent to the total water volume of the five major lakes of the North Mac, more than the entire Baltic Sea, and its absolute reserves of clean water account for 20% of the world's freshwater reserves and 85% of the total water storage of Russian lakes.

Based on the annual water consumption of 100 cubic meters per mu of land, the annual water consumption of 50,000 square kilometers of desert land is only 7.5 billion tons.

The amount of fresh water in one Baikal lake is enough for 3,146 years of sandy land contracted by Chen.

In addition, the lake's water resources are automatically replenished due to rainfall, snowfall, groundwater infiltration, etc., so it is equivalent to "inexhaustible".

In addition, Lake Baikal is only about 1,800 kilometers away from the northeastern corner of the Taklamakan Desert, which is about the same distance as pumping fresh water from the watery areas of the central provinces.

Therefore, Chen Jin's eyes are fixed on the fresh water in Lake Baikal.

"Go directly to Maozi to buy water, and the price of 1 cent a ton should be sold, right? 100 tons is 1 billion, which is really a lot. ”

"Nearly 2,000 kilometers of pipeline construction costs, using high-pressure resistant carbon fiber pipelines, the cost per kilometer is 10 million, 2,000 kilometers will cost 20 billion, plus high-power pumps, relay pumps, high-voltage cables and labor (manual labor is borne by robots), the total cost should be 30 billion."

"The last thing left should be the electricity bill during the pumping process."

"Pumping a ton of water, 10 kilowatt-hours of electricity should be used, assuming 0.1 yuan per kilowatt-hour of electricity, the cost of electricity per ton of water is only 1 yuan."

"Coupled with the cost of water purchase and pipeline construction, it is entirely possible that the average cost of transporting water per ton of water will be reduced to less than 3 yuan!"

"In this way, Xinghai Technology has saved 70% of the cost in terms of water use."

In the end, the cost of Xinghai Technology's transformation of one acre of desert land is only about 6,000-7,000 yuan

The cost is less than half of the traditional transformation method.

At the end of the investment period, after entering the return period, with the technology of Xinghai Technology, the average net benefit per mu is about 700 yuan, which is simply not difficult, so it only takes ten years to return to the cost.

In total, it only takes 20 years for Xinghai Technology to start making a profit and become an agricultural giant.

"In 20 years, no company can accept such a long return period, but I can, I can afford this time, I am willing to engage in this kind of long-term investment, I can afford to play this waiting game."

So Chen Jin called Ling Jundong over again and asked him to go to Russia to discuss "buying water" cooperation.

Ling Jundong's eyes widened.

"0.1 yuan per ton of water?"

shook his head vigorously: "Mr. Chen, Maozi is not a fool, they know the value of fresh water, and it is impossible to sell it for 1 cent a ton for nothing, Mr. Chen, you still don't know much about Maozi's character, they are not so generous!" ”

"I know."

Chen Jin said lightly: "With Maozi's character, if they know that someone wants to buy their fresh water, and only buy their water, they will definitely sell the fresh water at the price of oil, and they will not be soft when they see the fat sheep." ”

"Then you still tell me to offer 1 cent a ton? Maozi can't just away? ”

Ling Jundong shook his head, this is called touching porcelain, or in front of the fighting nation!

But Chen Jin was confident and said: "Lao Ling, in the past two years, Maozi's economic development has been very fast, and he has made a lot of achievements in the field of science and technology, and even made a real fifth-generation fighter. ”

"This shows that our company's smart learning machine, virtual factory, work assistant and other products, they are all using them, right? And some results have been made. ”

"Yes, Maozi is the largest customer, and more than 8 million smart learning machines have been sold in Russia; More than 100 sets were bought in the virtual factory. Ling Jundong nodded.

"There are a lot of Russian players in 100% Science Studio, right?"

"There are more than 2,000 people approaching 3,000, and the most powerful player already has a C-level laboratory." Ling Jundong also cherishes this.

"So I think Maozi will agree to sell us water for 1 cent a ton."

Chen Jin said: "Just ask their leaders, the tree of knowledge extends to the smart learning machine at the university level, do they want to buy it?" A virtual factory with a 99.99% degree of simulation, do they want it? ”

Speaking of virtual factories, the 100 billion supercomputer "Supernova 3" successfully developed by Xinghai Technology has been equipped with "Virtual Factory 3.0", and the simulation degree will be as high as eight 9s, more than two generations ahead of four 9s.

"In addition, the game "100% Science Studio", you ask their leaders, there is a lack of points for withdrawing 'technical data', and now they have a channel to get free points, that is, for every 1 ton of water sold, 0.1 game points are given, and selling 10 billion tons is 1 billion points...... The value of these points, presumably they should be clear. ”

"1 billion points are definitely worth more than 1 billion in cash, they will calculate this account!"

"With a three-pronged approach, the fresh water of Lake Baikal is 1 cent a ton, do you think it can be done?"

Chen Jin asked.

"Uh......"

Ling Jundong thought for a while, "I think normal people should agree, but Mr. Chen, there are some aspects that are not normal, they can't see a loss, and when they suffer, someone will make trouble, and finally make things worse." "He's still not too sure.

"If you can't cooperate, you will block Maozi! In the future, other customers will enjoy the upgrade service, and Maozi will not have a share; The withdrawal price of "Science Studio" is set at the highest for Mao Zi, so that they can starve to death in Baoshan. It's not that fresh water is not available elsewhere, it's just that the cost is high. ”

“！！！”

Ling Jundong was sweating profusely.

This is not just touching porcelain, but directly playing hooligan.

But who let Xinghai Technology master the core technology?

If you have core technology, you can do whatever you want!
