Chapter 328: The Stupidest Investment in History?

"On what terms?" Chen Jin hurriedly asked.

"Minister Shen said that among the eight deserts of country Z, only the Taklamakan Desert covers an area of more than 50,000 square kilometers, and the other seven deserts are all below 50,000 square kilometers, so the only one that can be provided to Xinghai Technology to develop and satisfy our appetite is the Taklamakan Desert."

"Uh, okay, just this desert."

"Mr. Chen, the Taklamakan Desert is the most remote, the natural conditions are the harshest, the average annual rainfall is only a few tens of millimeters, and the development is the most difficult and the cost is the highest!"

"You don't have to worry about the cost, as long as you can buy the land."

"Buy? Land is a state-owned resource, can only be leased but not bought, and can only be rented for a maximum of 50 years, in addition to the rent is not cheap, 50,000 square kilometers of sandy land, 50 years, need to pay 100 billion rent...... This price is clearly a lion's mouth! Who wants to rent that kind of land for 100 billion? ”

100 billion.

Fifty years?

Chen Jin's brows furrowed.

This price is too high.

The years are also too short.

"Fifty years, I'm afraid that the desert has just been transformed, the lease period will be up, and the land will be nationalized again, and the rent may not be rented, and the decision is completely in the hands of the official, Xinghai Technology is a lamb to be slaughtered, and you can cut the meat as you want!"

All the hard work, it is possible to make a wedding dress for others.

"Lao Ling, you go to talk to that Minister Shen again and tell him what I think, there are many deserts in this world, not only in country Z, the Sahara Desert in Africa has more than 9 million square kilometers, Xinghai Technology can contract millions of square kilometers of deserts in Africa at a very or even free price, and the development cost is much lower, and those deserts can be privately owned permanently."

"Xinghai Technology has a lot of choices!"

"If they have the sincerity of cooperation, one, the rent shall not exceed 10 billion; Second, the lease term shall not be less than 100 years, and Xinghai Technology has the right to automatically renew the lease after expiration. ”

"This is my bottom line, if you don't agree, Xinghai Technology can only set its sights overseas."

Chen Jin said, conveying his attitude.

It's even a little annoying, it's just a desert where birds don't poop, and it's worthless until it's not developed!

Some people are like treasures, and they ask for hundreds of billions of rents when they open their mouths, and the lease period is still short for 50 years.

To be honest, some people still feel too good about themselves, hundreds of billions of dollars, they can buy a country, do you really think that Xinghai Technology is only staring at China?

"This ......"

Ling Jundong felt that the boss's attitude was a little too tough, and the effect of communicating with people like this was definitely not good, and said: "Mr. Chen, I'll talk to Minister Shen again, if you can't talk, then give up." ”

In fact, in his eyes, those deserts are worthless, and tens of billions are too expensive! But if you express it properly, it's not good to break up unhappily.

Of course, he is the one in charge of the talks, and Ling Jundong is measured.

The next day, he found Minister Shen, and the two talked again.

"50,000 square kilometers is equivalent to a small province, and the rent of 100 billion yuan in 50 years is not expensive at all, an average of 2 billion yuan per year...... This price can't be lowered. ”

Minister Shen shook his head, and secretly laughed in his heart: Xinghai Technology's nose is really sensitive, and he actually smelled a big business opportunity and wanted to gnaw on a piece of fat in advance.

It's like taking others for fools.

In short, this rent can't be lowered anymore, so many cabbages are sold at a price, and he will regret it in the future, and he will be responsible!

"Minister Shen, I checked the information, there are also many deserts abroad, the Sahara Desert in Africa, with an area of 9.2 million square kilometers, which is equivalent to the ...... of our entire Z country."

Ling Jundong said lightly.

Minister Shen's face changed wildly!

……

They consulted for three more days.

After a few steps back, the two sides finally reached a final cooperation:

1. Xinghai Technology Co., Ltd. contracted a desert land with an area of 50,000 square kilometers in the northeast of the Taklamakan Desert.

2. The average rent per mu is 20 yuan/year, and Xinghai Technology will pay as much rent as many acres of land as it successfully reclaims.

3. The lease term is 99 years, and Xinghai Technology has the right of priority to renew the lease after expiration.

Fourth, if Xinghai Science and Technology has sufficient capabilities, it can continue to reclaim the hinterland of the desert, and the additional land reclaimed is also owned by Xinghai Technology, and the rent is still 20 yuan/year.

And so on and so forth.

For this cooperation agreement, overall, Chen Jin is quite satisfied.

In the early stage, Xinghai Technology needed to spend a lot of money, and when certain results were achieved and the cake became bigger, the country could also share a lot of profits.

Win-win.

No one loses.

"Lao Ling, give a task to the 'Robot Research Center', and strive to develop a robot that can replace manual labor within two or three months, and then mass produce one million units and send them to the Northwest Desert!"

"Robots?"

Ling Jundong's eyes lit up: "Yes, Mr. Chen, I know!" ”

Transforming the desert with robots is a brilliant trick.

"In addition, we will set up a working group on desert management, send them to the Sahara in Africa, and set up a research site, which will be useful in the future."

Chen Jin said.

Eggs can't be put in one basket, and with the technical advantages of Xinghai Technology, it is not difficult to manage the desert, so the eyes cannot be limited to domestic, and there is a lot to be done abroad.

If the Sahara Desert, which is more than 9 million square kilometers, is transformed into a place full of vitality, then a political apparatus and some military forces will be built...... Another superpower, most likely, will be born on the African continent.

They are not nervous by the Minister of Non-Shen!

Of course, Chen Jin will not go that far for the time being, and he still has to be a low-key person now...... Unless the problem of the space portal is completely solved.

……

November 5th.

The news that Xinghai Technology has contracted 50,000 square kilometers of desert in Northwest China has spread rapidly on the Internet.

The majority of netizens and many companies and institutions were very surprised by this action of Xinghai Technology and discussed it a lot.

"The Taklamakan Desert in the Northwest Territories, contracting 50,000 square kilometers of desert, what do you want to do?"

"Could it be...... Xinghai Technology plans to plant trees in desert areas to protect the earth and contribute to environmental protection? ”

"50,000 square kilometers, how many billions of dollars must be invested to complete the transformation, according to the transformation cost of 100,000 yuan per acre, you have to invest trillions to be enough!"

"It's all the credit of real estate speculators, haha, the high housing prices have forced Xinghai Technology to want to hide in the desert, and the speculators are amazing."

"What's the use of buying land where so many birds don't? What is Xinghai Technology's mind dizzy this time, is it stupid to be beaten by high housing prices? ”

"Going to the northwest to control the desert is an investment that only sees investment and no return! Only people with high morals and willing to go bankrupt are willing to do this kind of thing, and profit-seeking capital will never do such a thing! ”

"Xinghai Technology is gone, I can only say that this is the most stupid investment behavior in history, I expect that it will not be long before Xinghai Technology will regret it and give up this dizzy investment." The man was determined, and echoed it.
