Chapter 32: Expansion

Li Qingye took out a document from the drawer: "Xincheng, I have a new project here, you can take a look at it first." ”

Fang Xincheng took the document and looked at it seriously.

The new project is titled: Cultivation and Deep Processing of Genetically Modified Unicorn Vegetables.

Using genetic recombination technology, the genetically modified unicorn cabbage is modified by inserting the genes of other plants with the seaweed of unicorn as the mother, which has the characteristics of rapid growth, huge aggregate strain, high galactose content, high trehalose content and high amylose content.

According to the results of laboratory tests.

The yield of transgenic unicorn cabbage per mu is 3400~3700 kg (wet weight), and the dried unicorn cabbage after removing water is 18~20% of the previous one.

120~130 kg of amylose, 62~66 kg of trehalose, 340~370 kg of carrageenan, and 500~540 kg of plant fiber can be extracted per mu of unicorn.

Moreover, the growth cycle of genetically modified unicorn vegetables is relatively short, and the native unicorn vegetables can only be harvested twice a year in the Luzon sea, and the genetically modified unicorn vegetables can be harvested four times a year.

This is because the plum green leaves enhance the photosynthesis of unicorn vegetables, increase the covering area of the leaves, and form huge leaves similar to the royal lotus, and achieve the purpose of improving photosynthesis by increasing the area.

Of course, this modification is not without its drawbacks, that is, the genetically modified unicorn will absorb a large amount of nutrients from the seawater, while blocking the sunlight from the bottom of the sea, which is simply a disaster for other seaweeds.

It's like in a tropical rainforest, under those towering trees, other plants basically don't have the opportunity to get sunlight, and it is naturally difficult to survive.

In order to avoid this genetically modified unicorn vegetable from flowing into the natural environment, Li Qingye made a lot of preparations in advance.

For example, genetic sterilization, so that the transgenic unicorn can only divide cells to increase algae, and these cells cannot release reproductive spores;

Another example is to limit the life cycle of genetically modified unicorn vegetables, so that they can only grow for 3 years, and after 3 years, transgenic unicorn vegetables will not be able to divide cells and completely wither and decompose.

This means that genetically modified unicorn vegetables, after planting, can be harvested for 3 years and 12 crops.

"Boss, will this investment be too big?" Fang Xincheng hesitated.

Li Qingye's plan is to build a 100,000-acre seaweed plantation pond in Lima South Bay, south of Dart Port, with an investment of 300 million US dollars.

In addition, a supporting refining plant will be built to extract amylose, trehalose, carrageenan and cellulose from unicorn vegetables, with an investment of about 200 million US dollars.

100,000 acres of seaweed ponds, with an annual output of 1.36 million ~ 1.48 million tons of unicorn vegetables, from which 48,000 ~ 52,000 tons of amylose, 24,800 ~ 26,400 tons of trehalose, 136,000 tons ~ 148,000 tons of carrageenan, 200,000 tons ~ 216,000 tons of plant fiber.

These products can be used as raw materials or sold directly.

At present, carrageenan is about 10,000 US dollars per ton, trehalose is about 1,000 US dollars per ton, and amylose is about 250~280 US dollars per ton.

These are actually raw materials in food processing.

Cellulose can be used in papermaking, fuel, and plastics.

The total investment is 500 million US dollars, and the annual output value is about 2 billion US dollars.

Li Qingye waved his hand: "Our company now has a cash flow of 1.1 billion US dollars, and investing 500 million is not too much, not to mention that we can also get a large amount of funds from eel fry and eel breeding next year, and we don't need to worry about capital in a short time." ”

Fang Xincheng asked with some concern: "Boss, will Luzon agree to the cultivation of genetically modified unicorn vegetables?" ”

"Don't worry, I'm good friends with the Fernando family's motors, and he promised to take a stake in the company and help us get out of all the troubles in the local area." Li Qingye is confident about this.

After all, the motor is his person, and the unicorn vegetable planting and processing business, Homo sapiens will not end up directly, but through the subsidiary, and then absorb the funds of the Fernando family, in the form of a joint stock.

In this way, on the surface, the Luzon people have a good face, but in fact, the subsidiary is still Homo sapiens.

Since Li Qingye was full of confidence, Fang Xincheng naturally wouldn't say anything, he asked: "Then you need to set up a subsidiary, why does the boss plan to name this subsidiary?" ”

"Let's call it Haitian Agricultural Company!"

"I see, what is the ratio of the joint venture?"

"We are 70 percent, the Fernando family is 30 percent."

The two discussed some details, and Fang Xincheng took the entire company to get busy according to the plan.

The whole Lima South Bay is not small, the outline of the bay is similar to a cloth bag, the outlet of the bay is on the north side, the length of the north and south is about 38 kilometers, the width of the east and west is about 17~25 kilometers, the sea area is about 900 square kilometers, and the coastline length is about 120 kilometers.

Since the unicorn vegetable planting farm needs to be built near the sea, it can only be near the coastline.

With the help of Motor, Homo Sapiens quickly established Haitian Agriculture, and the two parties completed the cooperation, and Motor became a private shareholder of Haitian Agriculture.

And the motor also has to pay some resources, such as helping Haitian Agriculture get 100,000 acres of coastal mudflats and wasteland for free, and 8,000 acres of land for the construction of a refining plant, and get rid of the local land snakes.

At the same time, with the cooperation of Filip's internal logistics department, Chen Jianxiong remotely controlled the motor and secretly transferred part of the gang controlled by the motor.

The members of these selected gangs were all orphans and members of the most heinous crimes.

These people will be sent to Caragua Island one by one to be genetically modified and biochipped, and finally trained to be put into the Department of Security and the Department of Internal Service.

Through this covert absorption, the power in the hands of the motor is gradually transforming into the power of Homo sapiens.

In order to convey benefits to the motor and enhance his voice in the family, Li Qingye also used the name of engineering contracting to give the planting pond construction project of Haitian Agriculture to an engineering company under the name of the motor.

After all, the money is not earned by whom, but by the company that gives the motor, it rots the meat in its own pot, turns its left hand to its right hand, and a large part of the funds return to its own system.

Moreover, for the motor company, the Homo sapiens company can also use strict monitoring methods, so there is no need to worry about the engineering company cutting corners.

After all, even the other party's boss is his own person, if someone dares to cut corners, then Li Qingye will admire the other party for being a person who wants money and does not want his life, and by the way, prepare gasoline barrels and concrete for them, and let them go to the Luzon Trench to calm down.

Since Homo sapiens is very low-key, and the motor also depresses the information about this project.

As a local head snake, it is quite easy for the Fernando family to suppress some news.

The engineering company that got the funds quickly completed the land acquisition and started construction.

On the other hand, Fang Xincheng also found a related company contracted by the factory to design a comprehensive factory that could refine amylose, carrageenan, trehalose and cellulose.

Moreover, the production scale of the factory is relatively high, and it can produce 200,000 tons of amylose, 400,000 tons of carrageenan, 100,000 tons of trehalose, and 1 million tons of cellulose per year under the condition of full load.

Although the current output of 100,000 acres of seaweed fields cannot meet the needs of the factory, this is a preparation made in advance for the future increase in production.

As long as there are no accidents in the eel industry, Haitian can invest another 100,000 acres of seaweed fields next year.
