Chapter 1005: Said's Rainforest Business

Guided by professionals, Joga and his team took a closer look at the 'Sky Resort' that Saeed had built at great expense......

What appears to be a sky resort built with rainforest trees as pillars actually contains the top technology of the modern construction industry and the imagination of top designers.

What Said is looking for an organic combination of the modern and the original......

Roughly speaking, I want both the original landscape and the modern convenience.

This kind of fucking demand for both wants and wants made the designers rack their brains and finally compromise on a miraculous solution.

The Sky Resort that looks like it is built on trees is actually supported by thousands of solid steel structures at the bottom, but during construction, an organic material was used to camouflage the outside of the steel structure to make them look like trees......

And the bizarre thing is that these 'big trees' actually attract a large number of vines to climb on them, and they have achieved the ultimate in fakeness.

The entire resort looks like a giant spider's web when viewed from the air.

There is a building on each node, and the outermost side of the 'spider's web is the viewpoint and the starting point for various rainforest activities.

In the inner circle is the public service point, which includes a series of service points such as several specialty restaurants, several massage parlors, several specialty department stores, gyms, rainforest meditation and so on.

Then the third floor is the guest room, 150 independent rooms, each of which can accommodate 4~6 people, which can fully meet the needs of a family.

The fourth floor is an ultra-luxury treehouse villa designed specifically for the Broadie, with only 50 in total.

Each sky villa has nearly 160 square meters, and the interior decoration of the villa is not splendid, but the hardware is absolutely first-class.

And near the inner side of the villa, there are two small suites cantilevered like tentacles, which are convenient for the big guys to place their own servants or nannies.

The innermost part is the core of the resort, where a large beam supports a helicopter platform in the center, making it easy to evacuate patients or people in urgent situations to evacuate the resort.

The massive beams and columns are lined with a tropical roof that resembles an umbrella canopy, with a three-story building below.

On the ground floor is the lobby of the resort, which is not only planted with many rare plants, but also has a cafeteria.

On the second floor, there is a small theater that can accommodate 200 people, a movie screening hall, and a conference room.

The third floor is where the resort staff stay and work.

On the fourth floor, the perimeter of the helicopter platform, there is a circular corridor that allows visitors to look down on the surrounding jungle from a high vantage point.

At the bottom is a concrete space for large fuel-fired generator sets.

The entire resort looks like a spider's web from above, but from below, it looks like a giant umbrella-shaped tassel backed by a giant pillar and connected by a covered bridge.

The lowest point is only about 15 meters above the ground on the outside, while the highest inside is 45 meters above the ground, which is about 15 stories high.

Stand at the highest point of the resort and enjoy sweeping views of the surrounding jungle and waterways.

While Joga stood on the observation deck at the highest point and admired the surrounding scenery, he also understood why the drug dealers were in a hurry.

Said said he had only bought 60 square kilometres of rainforest land, but he was actually buying land on either side of the hidden tributary.

A nearly 35-kilometre-long S-shaped meandering tributary envelops several rainforests of nearly 100 square kilometres and serves as the resort's de facto control area.

Moreover, Saeed had a strong desire for control of the private sphere, and he built two checkpoints at the entrance to the tributary upstream parallel channel, which he had assigned to guard.

Except for the local aborigines, no cargo ships or pleasure boats of a commercial nature are allowed to enter this tributary.

Originally, this tributary was not walked, because the two parallel rivers led directly to Manaus, and the Brazilian government, after getting enough money, did not bother with Said's approach.

But now Said's approach has been proven to be that he has cut off key avenues for drug traffickers to evade Brazil's maritime security forces, leaving their cargo ships in and out.

After visiting the resort, Joga could touch his conscience and say that Saeed is definitely a person who can spend money.

In the future, if anyone says that Dubai's local tyrants take money inappropriately, Qiao Jia thinks that person must be a fool.

With the money spent on the purchase of 60 square kilometers of rainforest, 160 square kilometers of rainforest were encircled.

Although there is a clause in the contract that the rainforest cannot be destroyed, this is really not a big problem for global hunting companies.

According to Said, this is an investment in the lungs of the earth.

This guy has the ridiculous idea of taking more of the Amazon rainforest and protecting it as a way to balance the carbon emissions of Dubai's modern development.

Global warming is a global issue, but most of the first-mover vested interests demand that developing countries maintain the status quo and reduce carbon emissions.

Even the last so-called research group, organized by a dozen or so people, could ask developing countries to buy carbon emission shares, without telling the public exactly where the money ends up.

Many parts of Europe have already started to impose carbon taxes on companies, which require companies to buy carbon emission shares before production.

Some of them are free, but the excess part of the carbon tax still makes many companies complain, and finally leads to the outflow of a large number of low-end industries.

There are even some companies in Europe that specialize in reselling carbon emission shares, that is, selling the carbon emissions that some companies have not used up to at a reduced price to those companies in need.

Europe, which is highly modernized and financialized, uses a concept to create an industry and create tens of thousands of jobs, at the cost of low-end industries fleeing and more people unemployed.

But people don't care, because most of the people engaged in low-end industries are migrant workers, and these walking means of production are not included in the unemployment rate, and if you can't survive, you can get out.

Regarding this, the situation of Boss Qiao's old mother's house is also a bit similar......

Enterprises that once sacrificed environmental costs as a factor of development have been shut down on a large scale, forcing them to upgrade their industries, or relocate highly polluting projects to pass on environmental costs.

As a result, many small and medium-sized enterprises have difficulty in operating and have to give up in the end.

This is the only way to upgrade the industry, there is really no way!

Said's statement is quite novel, but this guy doesn't mention the issue of rainforest ownership, so it's a bit of green tea.

You buy rainforests to pay carbon taxes, how can you make those who pay honestly embarrassment? What do those who silently plant trees think?

Joga gave Keno a thumbs up as he leaned his back against the fence of the observation deck and watched Keno harvest a stack of dollars from Said's old butler with a suitcase of mosquito coils......

This kid's brain is definitely enough, and the mosquito coil industry in Sangha Town now feeds a lot of people.

Boss Qiao didn't expect that this kid would actually develop 'overseas customers'.

With a box of mosquito coils, he got $10,000 worth of wool from the hands of a local tycoon in Dubai, and although he never considered the resort having a stake in Boss Joe, the pioneering spirit is still worth encouraging.

The average 14-year-old boy, who would dare to bargain with the butler of the Dubai royal family?

Said saw that Boss Qiao was a little sneering at his 'carbon emission balance plan', and he said unhappily: "Jackal, this is a good plan for me!"

I've talked to them in Tahenoni and they're willing to contribute $200 million each for me to run it, and we're going to set up a 'Lung of the Earth Conservation Fund'.

The money will be earmarked for the acquisition of the rainforests and then the conservation of them will begin.

We spent money, and it was a matter of course to get ownership of those lands! ”

Saying that, Said looked at Joga's still unmoved appearance, he frowned and said, "Why don't you seem to be interested at all?"

You yourself said that as long as you have the ability, you should do more for the world.

We're friends and I'm doing something meaningful......

Why do I think that kid sells some mosquito coils that make you happier? ”

Hearing this, Qiao Jia nodded with a smile and said, "Because Kino earned 10,000 yuan, but he fed many people."

It's good to revive the rainforest, of course, but if you feel your conscience and say, how long can you hold on to such a project with a very low input-output ratio?

How long can you hold back when you hold the title deeds of these lands without financializing them?

Set up a so-called philanthropic foundation, build a concept with environmental protection at its core, and then financialize the rainforest.

Financing is used to acquire land, and those who need to seek profits are brought in to expand the scale of the acquisition.

Unless you buy the rainforests and the contract states that they will never be used for commercial logging, the project will end up deviating from what you envision.

Timber export is an important export project in Brazil, you can't solve the core contradiction, what's the point of just buying land? ”

Saying that, Qiao Jia looked at the princes next to him, and said with a smile: "Of course, if you just want to have fun, it's not impossible.

Buying the land that has been cut down at a low price, and then planting trees with higher added value, orderly management and harvesting, is also a cause that will benefit the present and the future.

As long as you don't have the idea of making money, you can still do it.

The climate in Brazil is really great, 30 years of investment and 50 years of benefits, the predecessors planted trees and the later people enjoyed the shade.

If you can accept it, I will share it......

I'm really not a philanthropist, but I've been through so much that I find it really not interesting to let money roll in the capital market.

That thing is empty, there is no hard waist board, and those big dealers can wipe your harvest to zero in an instant at any time.

It is much better to turn money into assets and then use those assets to do something meaningful than to use finance to do so-called good deeds......

You are not short of money, since you want to be a good person, then be a good person to the end......

For example, the acquisition of large quantities of deforested rainforests and the organization of manpower for multi-planting and orderly harvesting can provide many jobs for Brazilian Indians.

If you do this, not to mention refusing to buy the so-called carbon emission shares, if someone dares to talk nonsense, you can slap what you do in their faces. ”

Of the several princes present, only Said could understand Boss Joe's thoughts.

Several other families rely on the energy industry to survive, and the maximization of energy value is inseparable from the current international financial order.

It's not that they don't understand the truth, but they feel that Boss Qiao's utopian speech deviates from the laws of modern economics......

How many years is a person's life, and it takes decades to invest in a career that I don't know if it will be productive, and it is in someone's home......

Crazy, right?
