Chapter Ninety-Nine: What I Saw and Heard (2)
Inside the restaurant.
The workers at the restaurant chatted chattering.
"Damu, are you going to go back to Mengdong (one of the Golden Triangle towns)?"
"What are you going back for?"
"But there comes a time when the project is over."
"I plan to take out a little money to sign up for the training of the welding class and stay here in Taunggyi when the time comes."
"That's it!"
"I really envy you, I still have a wife and children in my hometown."
"Hehe, you can't bear that half an acre of paddy field, right?"
"Isn't there some kind of cooperative on the gang's side? It's good to directly attach the paddy fields to them, anyway, they can't make a lot of money from cultivating the fields all year round. ”
Fang Xinwu has some understanding of this.
The gangs in the Golden Triangle that suddenly changed their business did run some kind of agricultural cooperatives in the local area, and they also established a Golden Triangle Agricultural Cooperative Association.
In fact, these local management agencies, dressed as gangs, are also taking advantage of some of the "conveniences" of gangs to engage in violent land annexation.
Eighty-three percent of the Golden Triangle's arable land has now been integrated for the cultivation of oil palm, hybrid rice, genetically modified corn and genetically modified soybeans.
Genetically modified corn and genetically modified soybeans are all imitated by the Aoba Group, anyway, as long as some different original varieties are used as the mother parent, even if the other party knows, there is no way to take the Aoba Group.
In fact, the key to genetically modified crops is not in safety, but in the control of production technology.
As a tropical climate, the Shan State Plateau, which is also a sub-plateau, is very suitable for large-scale step farming.
The so-called large-scale ladder agriculture is actually an advanced version of terraced agriculture, that is, using the altitude difference within the plateau and the temperature difference generated by the reasonable arrangement of various crops.
The average altitude of the entire Shan State Plateau is 750~1200 meters, and the total area is about 170,000 square kilometers.
Among them, the area of river valley plains is about 32,000 square kilometers, the area of low hills is about 58,000 square kilometers, the area of alpine primeval forests is about 45,000 square kilometers, and the remaining 4.5 square kilometers are alpine meadows, rivers and mines that are difficult to use.
Therefore, the large-scale agriculture of the Shan State Plateau can be roughly divided into three stages, namely the river valley plain area, the low hilly area, and the alpine forest area.
In the development of agriculture in the Shan State Plateau, although the terrain will make the transportation investment in the early stage relatively high, but the later traffic will keep up, and the development speed will inevitably be accelerated.
In fact, it is a truly vast and sparsely populated area, with a population of only 6.6 million on 170,000 square kilometers, with an average of about 39 people per square kilometer.
If fully developed, at least 100 million acres of agricultural land can be reclaimed.
In fact, Honsavaddy is a place with great potential, with a population of only 54.58 million, a plain area of 130,000 square kilometers, and a large number of low hills and sub-plateaus.
Compared with Luzon, which is composed of a large number of small islands, the agricultural potential of Honsavady can definitely support the food needs of 2~300 million people.
Now the Aoba Group and the Hungsavady branch are building infrastructure frantically so that their agricultural and mineral potential can be unleashed.
Fang Xinwu saw that many workers did not want to return to their hometowns, mainly because they were attracted by the apparent prosperity of Taunggyi, and they did not know that the Aoba Group was trying to completely strip them of their land.
As long as they lose their land, these people can only become hard-working workers and work for the Aoba Group for the rest of their lives.
After annexing a large amount of land, the Aoba Group can turn this land into an agricultural production base for itself through mechanization, farming, and scale.
This behavior can be called "malicious urbanization".
Fang Xinwu didn't know the key to this, and only saw that Taunggyi and other cities were very prosperous, and the wages of workers were rising, but he ignored the land of their hometown, which was being quickly annexed by the Aoba Group.
During the meal, most of the topics that these workers talked about were focused on work, family, and children.
Fang Xinwu kept this information in his heart one by one.
After lunch, take a lunch break until more than three o'clock.
Fang Xinwu and his two younger brothers left the hotel and wandered around the street.
At this time, the sun after noon is still very scorching, but the altitude of the Taunggyi Basin is relatively high, and the temperature is similar to that of southern Yunnan.
Coming to the west side of Taunggyi City, workers are laying railroad tracks, which are the railways that connect the town of Swwe Niang.
Not far from the railway, there is a parallel road that has been built.
"Big brother, there are a lot of people over there." Maung Heshui pointed to a large area of factory-like buildings to the south.
Fang Xinwu turned his head to look at the past, and saw the sign and name on it: Qingye Hospital.
It's this company again......
Seeing the building at the beginning of Aoba, Fang Xinwu knew that this was the industry of the Aoba Group, and this company also had a lot of business in the Golden Triangle region, and he had also secretly investigated this company.
It's just that a lot of information is floating on the surface, such as the founder Li Qingye, who used to be the son of the CEO of a large domestic group, and later went abroad to found the Qingye Group.
In this regard, Fang Xinwu relied on many years of experience in intelligence work, and knew that the trick was very big.
After all, people are good at the end of a 100 billion group, why do they seek the near and far? Starting a business in a chaotic place like Honsavady?
Especially after Fang Xinwu saw the other party's parents and eldest brother die inexplicably, he understood that the water in it was very deep.
But Fang Xinwu also admires Li Qingye, who can give up his domestic inheritance and come to Honsawady to start a business.
At this time, the scale of the Aoba Group's industry in Honsavady really surprised him.
He traveled all the way from Tachili on the Siamese border to Taunggyi City, and saw an incredible number of industries with green leaves on them.
For example, Aoba Hospital, Aoba Construction, Aoba Bank, Aoba Supermarket, Aoba Passenger Transport, Aoba Building Materials, Aoba Cola, etc.
This has penetrated almost every aspect of the entire Shan State, and according to his friends in Taunggyi, this time the Aoba Group moved its headquarters to Taunggyi City because of Li Qingye's relationship with the local Maung Ko General.
And Fang Xinwu naturally knew that Maung Gu was the final winner in the Pyinmana incident some time ago, and now he is one of the three giants of Honsavady, controlling all the regular army and internal security forces.
Just when he was in a daze, someone patted him on the shoulder, and suddenly Fang Xinwu had a direct stress reaction.
"Don't be nervous, it's me."
Hearing the familiar voice, Fang Xinwu's body relaxed, and then complained angrily: "Old Ma, can't you say hello head-on?" ”
The middle-aged man named Lao Ma, with a mustache and vicissitudes of life on his forehead, joked: "Exercise your reflexes, do you want to have a drink?" ”
"Okay! Let's go! Fang Xinwu was not polite.
The group walked towards the city.
Lao Ma took them around the corner and came to a very lively street, on both sides of which were stalls selling small commodities, daily necessities, and agricultural products.
"Those guards don't care about here?"
Lao Ma shook his head: "This is the pedestrian street they have drawn out, and these stalls are all collecting money." ”
"Keep up with the times!" Fang Xinwu said with a smile.
The old horse shrugged: "It's better to be blocked, if you can't get along, who wants to set up a stall?" ”
Fang Xinwu didn't answer this, after all, some words came out, and some of them always seemed incorrect.
After a while, they arrived at the small restaurant opened by Lao Ma.
