Three days later, the train stopped in the canton of Stero, but it had not yet reached its destination, and it had to travel south by steam car.

"In the future, we plan to build the railway, which will be much more convenient." On the steam car, Sharon explained to Luo Yin.

This suitable place for growing tobacco has recently been discovered, and large-scale cultivation has not yet begun, so there is no railway here.

When the scale of follow-up planting is large, the railway will definitely be arranged. As for where the money for the construction of the railway comes from, it is natural that everyone will raise funds, and according to the size of their respective land, they will contribute a corresponding proportion of the money.

Luo Yin naturally has no opinion on this. If you want to get rich, build roads first! The state of Stro is in the southeast of the Caith Empire, and because it is the southern hemisphere, the further south it goes, the colder it gets.

It's not icy and snowy, after all, Caisley is more northerly as a whole, but you can also clearly feel that the temperature in Stro has dropped a lot.

Luo Yin was not afraid of the cold, but Sharon shivered as soon as she got out of the car. Luo Yin took off his coat very gentlemanly and handed it to her.

"Thank you!" Sharon was a little embarrassed, but she wasn't polite, after all, the injury hadn't healed enough to catch a cold.

The last time she came, it was July and August, and it wasn't that cold, so she didn't have much preparation this time. And now it's the beginning of April, and it's naturally a lot colder.

The closer to the northwest the Keith Empire became, the more developed it became, and the closer it was to the southeast, the more barren it became. For example, in the state of Stro, there are still some people in the city, but not a single passerby can see them here.

Sharon brought a lot of people this time, a total of more than 40 people, including more than 30 armed bodyguards alone.

One is that she has been assassinated, so she is naturally more cautious now. The other is that a place like Stro is relatively remote, and the poor mountains and rivers are out of trouble, and it is obviously not possible to bring more manpower.

"Here we are, here it is!" Pointing to a bare piece of land not far away, Sharon smiled and spoke.

This land looks ordinary, but the land is not in disguise, this land is the most suitable for growing tobacco, and there is currently no second place in the Keith Empire.

Not even the land of the Keith Empire, even the lands of several other countries bordering here are not as good as here.

That's why the land here is so expensive, 10 million can buy a piece. However, this is also risky, one is natural disasters, this kind of natural disasters can not be avoided, and they can only consider themselves unlucky.

The other is that it has only been planted on an experimental basis and has not been planted on a large scale. The results of the experiment are good, but this does not mean that large-scale planting is necessarily good, and it is still necessary to take a lot of risks.

However, Luo Yin obviously doesn't care very much, for him, at most, he will only invest twenty or thirty million, and he can afford to lose.

Not far from Luo Yin and the others, there was a camp that had just been built. Sharon walked over with Luo Yin, and there were already quite a few people in the camp at this time.

Luo Yin glanced at it, they were all acquaintances from the last exchange meeting.

"Ms. Sharon, Mr. Jack, you're here!" When everyone saw Luo Yin and Sharon, they all greeted each other very politely.

"Hello everyone, see you again." Luo Yin also responded with a smile.

"Two, please." Inside the makeshift camp there was a large hall with several maps.

Including the Case Empire, Stro and many more. But the most important thing is the map of the tobacco growing area.

The growing area can be roughly seen as an approximate rectangle, with the more middle the better, and the more edge the better.

Of course, even if it is bad, it is not comparable to other lands. The entire cultivation area is 10 square kilometers, or 1,000 hectares.

It is divided into 100 plots, each of which is 10 hectares, which is about a 1,000-meter square by a 1,000-meter square, which is equivalent to the size of 14 football fields.

To be honest, 10 hectares of land sells for 10 million, which is indeed too expensive. Especially in the canton of Stero, where birds don't poop.

But if you consider the value of tobacco, it is reasonable. The Case Empire itself does not produce tobacco, and the land here does not seem to be suitable for cultivation, so tobacco needs to be imported from outside, and the import price is expensive, and the price is naturally very expensive.

Somewhat similar to the white sugar of the United Kingdom of Stokato. Later, another type of tobacco was discovered that was fruiting underground, and two years earlier, this tobacco had naturally been introduced into the Keith Empire.

This thing, called underground tobacco or black tobacco, does not taste as good as traditional tobacco and is produced in a harsher environment, but it can be grown in the Case Empire, and this alone is enough to kill traditional tobacco in an instant.

Of course, this spike simply refers to the price, after all, this does not need to be imported, and the price is naturally lowered.

But the rich still like to smoke traditional tobacco, they don't miss the money, they just want a better taste.

After discovering that black tobacco could be grown in the Case Empire, everyone immediately began various experiments to see where the most suitable place was within the Case Empire.

After all, the production environment of this black tobacco is very harsh, and if the environment is not good, the tobacco will not grow well and the yield will be low.

In the experiments again and again, the Red Pearl Club found a good place, which was the land under the feet of Luo Yin.

The results of the experiments at the time showed that this was probably the most suitable place for growing tobacco in the entire Keyes Empire.

So the Red Pearl Club bought it decisively, and at that time they only spent tens of millions of dollars, which was a big bargain.

After all, now sold to Sharon and them, a total of one billion have been sold. This is not to say that the Red Pearl Club is black-hearted, but the price of land suitable for growing black tobacco is very expensive, and the price of the Red Pearl Club is actually a preferential price, after all, the buyers are their own members.

Black tobacco can be harvested twice a year, and according to other black tobacco cultivation in the Case Empire, the yield per mu is about 50 kilograms each time.

A year, that is, the yield per mu is 100 kg. But this land is very suitable for black tobacco, and it is conservatively estimated that the average annual yield per mu is more than 200 kilograms!

Compared to black tobacco in other places, the production has directly doubled! In other words, these ten square kilometers of land can produce three million kilograms of black tobacco a year, which is more than three thousand tons.

According to the current market price, the price of black tobacco is 100 yuan a kilogram, so the annual output here is worth 300 million!

300 million doesn't seem like much, after all, everyone spent a total of 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

That's a total cost of 2 billion! It is equivalent to barely being able to recoup the cost after seven years. That's really not much. But the point is that these 300 million refer to the price of unprocessed tobacco.

After a certain amount of subsequent processing, the price will rise. How high it can rise depends on the ability and technology of these people.

But the land here is good, and the black tobacco grown not only has a high yield, but also a good quality, and the final processed product will also be better!

It is possible to multiply the price several times. Anyway, all of them combined, there must be more than 300 million sales per year.

If you are lucky, maybe you can pay back in a year, then the follow-up will be pure earning...... However, these are all estimates from the Red Pearl Club, and the estimates may not be accurate, and may be more or less.

And natural and man-made disasters can't be counted in detail. So if you want to grow black tobacco on these lands, there are still risks.

This is also one of the reasons why the Red Pearl Club sells the land, if there is no risk and a profitable business, they would have done it themselves, how could they sell it...... Except for Luo Yin, the other people who bought these lands all have their own tobacco processing factories, and even like Sharon, they even have their own sales channels.

In other words, they can generate much more profits from planting, production, processing, packaging, and sales of one-stop services.

That's why people are willing to buy these lands. Of course, the cost is also high, and the average person can't afford it.

And Luo Yin is different from them, Luo Yin has nothing but a piece of land...... But Luo Yin wasn't worried.

What he thought before was that he would give this piece of land directly to Sharon, similar to renting it to her, and Luo Yin would just eat some rent, he couldn't look down on this money.

But now, Luo Yin has changed his mind. He has a Hengyun company that has nothing to do, and this black tobacco business can just be handed over to Hengyun Company, after all, it is also a listed company, and it is a pity to waste it.

As for the factory or something, it's not a big problem, with his relationship with Sharon, he learned a little basic experience from Sharon, and I believe that the other party should not refuse.

Moreover, the books stored in Luo Yin's storage space can now be regarded as a small library, and there are also books on tobacco, so you can study them later.

It's just that the tobacco in those books is traditional tobacco, which is still different from this black tobacco, and it can't be copied in a rigid way............ Everyone is discussing the future production planning, although the land of each force is independent, and they have absolute control.

But after all, these lands of theirs are all together, and whatever they do will affect other people, and they will affect the whole body.

So they have to discuss the follow-up, no matter what conflicts there were before, now everyone has common interests, they are all friends, and they can't do things that harm others and themselves.

The rules and so on, you have to set them in advance. And they still have a lot of things that need to be cooperated, such as building roads, railways, and so on, and they all have to work together.

Luo Yin didn't participate in the discussion, he only had a piece of land, and he didn't have much right to speak, so he simply asked Sharon to act for the time being, as long as it was something that Sharon agreed to, just help Luo Yin agree.

And Luo Yin himself carefully read the information on these lands and tobacco to get a good understanding, after all, he is really not familiar with this aspect...... The land suitable for growing black tobacco in the country is divided into five levels by professionals, from low to high, which are ordinary, primary, intermediate, high, and top.

In the Case Empire, the land that has been found to be suitable for growing black tobacco is basically ordinary level.

It's okay to have a beginner. Having an intermediate level will make a lot of people scramble. And the land that everyone bought was the most inferior, intermediate, with a total of eighty pieces.

The remaining ten pieces of high-grade land, and ten pieces of top-level land! This is also the reason why Sharon wants to take these lands at all costs.

I don't know what will happen in the future, anyway, so far, this is the most suitable place to grow black tobacco, and the flintstone group must take it.

Luo Yin's piece of land was sold to him by Sharon before, and it was intermediate-level land. It's ordinary here, but it's definitely good in other places, so it should be enough for Hengyun Company.

Luo Yin went to study this so-called black tobacco again, and they have samples here. At first glance, it looks like a potato, but it is brown in color and darker than the skin of the potato.

But after cutting it, I found that it was similar to an onion, layer by layer, and it looked very watery.

It's just that it's not white, it's a layer of yellow and a layer of black...... Doesn't feel very healthy.

Of course, talking about health with tobacco is a bit of a joke. The most important thing about this black tobacco is that it is dehydrated and dried with that layer of black flesh, which is similar to traditional tobacco leaves.

The processing of tobacco factories is to process these. In the Case Empire, there are two ways to use tobacco.

One is smoking, where these processed black tobaccos are put in a pipe and smoked. The other is chewing, directly treating this black tobacco as a fruit, putting black and white together in the mouth and chewing, chewing until it has no taste and then spitting it, and you can't eat it in your stomach.

Generally speaking, tobacco users can be broadly divided into three levels: people who don't have money chew raw black tobacco directly; People with a little money smoke processed black tobacco; The really rich smoke golden tobacco, which is traditional tobacco.

Luo Yin can be sure that this black tobacco is a plant that does not exist on the earth, and it should be a specialty of this world.

It looks quite interesting, but Luo Yin himself is not a smoker and has no interest in trying. However, according to people from one of the forces, these black tobaccos are very punchy and bitter to smoke.

The taste is very different from traditional tobacco, and people who are accustomed to traditional tobacco generally find it difficult to smoke black tobacco again.

"But the market for ordinary people is very large, and if you get it right, it will be more profitable than the high-end market...... Let's work together! The man smiled and spoke.

"Indeed!" For this person's words, Luo Yin agreed. After all, he has a lot of industries that are ordinary people's markets, and the individual profit may not be much, but the amount is large, and the overall profit is very terrifying...... Soon, everyone reached a consensus, and then, it was time to start work.

According to the planting season of black tobacco, it is now the right time to plant. In terms of sowing seeds, Luo Yin asked Sharon again.

After all, he only has one piece of land, and Sharon has so much land, when planting, let Sharon plant it by the way.

Money or something, it's definitely in place. Sharon naturally didn't refuse, she had a total of eight pieces of land in her hands, and she was not inferior to Luo Yin.

Luo Yin didn't stay here for long, and after figuring out the specific situation here, he set off to go back, and before leaving, he got a copy of the manufacturing technology of the Black Tobacco Factory from Sharon, an ordinary version.

But this is enough for Luo Yin, who intends to combine it with the technology on Earth. For example, now that there are no cigarettes here, he may be able to get a cigarette and overtake in a corner......
