In the afternoon, the Phongsali Provincial Land Management Bureau sent two clerks with an off-road pickup truck to accompany Li Yan and Liu Xin to the land he had purchased.

Li Yan didn't expect that Laos had experienced backwardness, but the service was not bad.

Who would have thought, Liu Xin smiled, "Do you know what the total GDP of Laos is for the whole year, which is only about 15 billion US dollars, and the per capita GDP is only more than 2,000 US dollars." ”

"So, the million dollars you invested, converted into the kip of Laos, is close to 9 billion, which is quite the annual income of several megacities in Phongsali, or even most of the provinces, of course, they will give you special services!"

"Not only that, the local newspaper of Fengshali will also publish your investment news, and within a few days, all towns and cities will know that a Huaxia company called Origin Technology has spent a million dollars to invest here!"

In the end, the level of national development is different.

If it is in China, Li Yan's millions are at most to build a real estate in an ordinary second-tier city, not to mention the whole province, the locals can know half of it, which is already good!

"Therefore, I recommend that you hire more sturdy people from local villages as security guards to guard your plantation, otherwise, some armed forces, drug lords, warlords, etc., will often come to harass and even come to rob."

Speaking of this, Liu Xin deliberately glanced at the two office workers in front of the cab, and then whispered in Li Yan's ear.

Li Yan frowned slightly, is it really that messy?

More than half an hour passed.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, several people finally arrived at their destination.

The 260 hectares of land Li Yan bought is a total of 2,900 acres, which may seem exaggerated, but in countries where land is privatized, it is above the average level compared to some large farmers.

Even so.

He still owned three mountains, with a small jungle plain in the middle, crossed by a small river, which belonged to a tributary of the Nanwu River.

In terms of location, it is close to the northwest of Phongsali, that is, it is very close to the border between China and Myanmar.

And next to his land, there are seven or eight villages, large and small, all of which belong to the kind of self-sufficient backward villages.

If Li Yan wants to recruit people to help him farm the land, he can only find a way from them.

In this regard, the two office staff of the government were also very helpful, and directly brought the documents and led them to visit them one by one.

The construction of villages is even more backward than that of towns and villages.

They all live directly in the rainforest.

If there are still some cement brick houses in the township, they can only be turned into wooden houses here, with only a few earthen houses, which should belong to the relatively "wealthy" households.

As soon as Li Yan and the others came, the entire village would stop and watch.

And some of the little ones will catch up in clusters, around the pickup truck, singing and dancing, looking happy.

But after getting out of the car.

He saw that many of the elderly here were basically disabled, either missing arms and legs, or blind.

I asked Liu Xin.

I learned that most of them were coolies who planted opium poppies for drug traffickers and warlords in the last century, and because they resisted or made mistakes, they were chopped off and stamped by drug dealers to punish them.

It was only at this moment that Li Yan understood why Liu Xin had not suggested that he build a site in northern Laos.

In case those warlord forces really know, robbing and smashing shops is a common thing.

Although Laos is a country that restricts guns, due to historical reasons and complex mountain and rainforest factors, it is difficult to manage, and guns are very widespread.

Even the central regions near the capital, Vientiane, such as Luang Pra, have been looted by armed forces, including many of the factories of the Huaa Company.

Li Yan walked around several surrounding villages.

And when he was hiring, he encountered considerable difficulties, because the people here are not used to "office-style" work at all, and they have no concept of money.

At last.

It was the government officials who provided a "trick" to Li Yan to provide the staff with a place to live and build a new house for free.

Because it is too remote and mountainous and jungle, all kinds of building materials cannot be transported in at all, so everyone cuts down trees to build wooden houses, but after all, this is a tropical rainforest climate, and it rains all year round, and wooden houses are easy to rot and damage.

In this way, a few families really agreed.

Most of them are people with dilapidated houses, or no place to live, homeless, 10 in all.

Among them were three old couples, two young men, one young woman, and a small child.

What impressed Li Yan more was that one of the younger men and a woman was named Ledo and Weng Sha, who were in their twenties, with dark skin, but very energetic, and they were a pair of brothers and sisters.

Through Liu Xin's inquiry, it was learned that the two had lived in the township for a while after a child, and later because of a robbery accident, both parents were exiled to the mountains.

I saw that they had been exposed to a little bit of culture.

Li Yan arranged for Weng Sha to be in charge of managing his own territory first, Ledo and another man to protect the territory security, and the three old couples were all old farmers who were born and raised in the rainforest and were in charge of planting.

In this way, he negotiated with these people, and tomorrow he began to move to his own territory.

Anyway, at present, only 150 clover green pear fruits need to be planted at the beginning, and 10 people are enough.

Return to the provincial capital of Phongsali.

The two office workers left, leaving Li Yan and Liu Xin, who were also going to be separated.

After all, the land has been bought, and Liu Xin's work is completed, he is just a land intermediary, not Li Yan's personal translator.

But before leaving, he still accompanied Li Yan to find a circle of construction teams.

As a result, just like the previous situation in the village recruitment, no one wanted to go at all.

In this regard, Liu Xin said that this is too normal.

In addition to agriculture and basic processing industry, Laos's other industries are in a mess, and the quality of workers is poor, so most of the Chinese-funded enterprises that come to Laos to set up factories are their own workers.

No way, who let him buy such a remote jungle and mountain.

The point is that Laos' pristine rainforests are only in the north, the rest of the country has a tropical monsoon forest climate, and the land close to the developed areas is too small and fragmented to be managed centrally because there is no such 260 hectares of land as large.

Since it was impossible to find someone to build a house, Li Yan could only find a way by himself.

That's right!

Alchemy!

He was able to build such a large camp on his own in the Origin World, why couldn't he be in a place like Earth, which was rich in materials?

So, Li Yan asked Liu Xin to accompany him to buy a white off-road pickup.

The geographical environment of Laos is very poor, 70% of the terrain of the country is mountainous, and without off-road vehicles, it is impossible to walk in the mountains.

After buying a car and some basic daily necessities, he separated from Liu Xin and drove to the mountains alone.

After arriving at the Territorial Plains.

Li Yan got out of the car with a bag of chocolate candy.
