I Found A Planet

As the majority of netizens and investment analysis agencies have said: Desert control is not profitable, is it something only a saint or a fool would do?

Business investment worth zero?

Of course Chen Jin was not a fool, he had done sufficient research beforehand and let the computer do a simulation analysis.

Generally, the cost of desert control is mainly as follows:

The first is the labor cost for leveling the sandy land, building roads and irrigation facilities, which is about 2,000 yuan per mu.

The second is the purchase cost of seedlings, fertilizers, and agricultural machinery, which is about 1,500 yuan per mu.

Finally, there is water. Each mu of land needs to be irrigated with more than 100 tons of water every year, and the cost of water use is more than 1,000 yuan per mu per year.

And you have to persist for more than ten years in a row to get some returns, and there is no revenue at all in the middle.

On the whole, according to the traditional transformation model, the total cost of the transformation of one mu of land is at least 15,000 yuan.

After the transformation is completed, it is difficult for the net profit from planting commercial crops to exceed 500 yuan/mu.

That is, the payback period is more than 30 years.

It really takes fifty years to make a little money.

It can be called "the most unprofitable industry".

But if Xinghai Technology were to do this, the situation might be completely different.

The desert contracted by Xinghai Technology does not require human labor, and all work is done by robots, saving more than 70% of labor costs.

The cost of seedlings, fertilizers and agricultural tools is basically the same.

There is also water. The cost of water in desert areas exceeds 10 yuan/ton, and the annual water consumption per mu of land is more than 100 cubic meters. This cost is difficult to save, and it is also the most important cost.

But Xinghai Technology has several ways to reduce this cost.

Lake Baikal, located in Russia, is the largest freshwater lake in Eurasia and the deepest lake in the world, with an average water depth of 730 meters.

In Lake Baikal, the total amount of fresh water accommodated is 23.6 trillion cubic meters, which is equivalent to the sum of the water volume of the five great lakes in North M, and exceeds the water volume of the entire Baltic Sea. 85% of the total lake water.

Based on the annual water consumption of 100 cubic meters per mu of land, the annual water consumption of 50,000 square kilometers of desert land is only 7.5 billion tons.

The amount of fresh water in one Lake Baikal is enough to last the sand land contracted by Chen Jin for 3146 years.

Moreover, the lake water resources will be automatically replenished due to rainfall, snowfall, groundwater infiltration and other reasons, so it is equivalent to "inexhaustible".

In addition, the straight-line distance between Lake Baikal and the northeast corner of the Taklamakan Desert is only more than 1,800 kilometers, which is comparable to the distance to pump fresh water from water-rich areas in central provinces, and is closer than pumping seawater, and saves the cost of desalinating seawater.

Therefore, Chen Jin's eyes were fixed on the fresh water in Lake Baikal.

"Go directly to Maozi to buy water. It should be sold at the price of 10 cents a ton, right? 10 billion tons is 1 billion, which is really a lot."

"Nearly 2,000 kilometers of pipeline construction costs, using high-pressure carbon fiber pipelines, cost 10 million per kilometer, and 20 billion for 2,000 kilometers, plus high-power water pumps, relay water pumps, high-voltage cables, and labor (manual is borne by robots. ), the total cost should be 30 billion.”

"The last thing left should be the electricity bill during the water pumping process."

"To pump a ton of water, 10 kilowatt-hours of electricity should be used. Assuming 0.1 yuan per kilowatt-hour, the electricity cost per ton of water is only 1 yuan."

"Combined with the cost of buying water and pipeline construction, the average transportation cost per ton of water can be reduced to less than 3 yuan!"

"In this way, in terms of water use, Xinghai Technology has saved 70% of the cost."

Finally, after a comprehensive calculation, the cost of Xinghai Technology to transform an acre of desert land is only about 6,000-7,000 yuan.

The cost is less than half of the traditional transformation method.

The investment period ends and the payback period begins. With the technology of Xinghai Technology, the average net profit of about 700 yuan per mu of land is not difficult at all, so it only takes ten years to pay back the cost.

In total, it only takes 20 years for Xinghai Technology to start making profits and become an agricultural giant.

"Twenty years, no company can accept such a long payback cycle, but I can, I can afford this time, I am willing to engage in this kind of long-term investment, and I can afford this waiting game."

So Chen Jin called Ling Jundong over again, and told him to go to Russia to discuss cooperation in "buying water".

Ling Jundong's eyes widened.

"0.1 yuan per ton of water?"

Shaking his head vigorously: "Mr. Chen, Maozi is not a fool. They know the value of fresh water, so it is impossible to sell it for free at a price of 10 cents a ton. Mr. Chen, you still don't know Maozi's character well, they are not so generous. !"

"I know."

Chen Jin said indifferently: "With Maozi's personality, if they know that someone wants to buy their fresh water, and if they only buy water from their family, they will definitely sell the fresh water for the price of oil, and they will not be soft when they see a fat sheep."

"Then tell me to offer a price of 10 cents a ton? Maozi can't just blow me away?"

Ling Jundong shook his head, this is called Pengci, and it is still in front of the fighting nation!

But Chen Jin was confident, and said, "Lao Ling, in the past two years, Maozi's economy has grown very fast, and he has made a lot of achievements in the field of science and technology. He even produced a real fifth-generation fighter."

"This shows that our company's intelligent learning machines, virtual factories, work assistants and other products are all in use, right? And they have made some achievements."

"Yes, Maozi is the largest customer. The intelligent learning machines have sold more than 8 million units in Russia; the virtual factory has bought more than 100 sets." Ling Jundong nodded.

"There are a lot of Russian players in 100% Science Studio, right?"

"There are more than 2,000 people close to 3,000, and the most powerful player already has a C-level laboratory." Ling Jundong is also very familiar with this.

"So I think Maozi will agree to sell us water for 10 cents a ton."

Chen Jin said: "Just ask their leaders, do they want to buy an intelligent learning machine whose knowledge tree extends to the university level? Do they want a virtual factory with a simulation degree as high as 99.99%?"

Speaking of the virtual factory, Xinghai Science and Technology has recently successfully developed the 100-billion-billion supercomputer "Supernova 3", equipped with "Virtual Factory 3.0", the simulation degree will be as high as eight nines, more than two generations ahead of four nines.

"In addition to the game "100% Science Studio", you can ask their leaders if there is a lack of points for withdrawing 'technical information'. Now they have a channel to get bonus points, that is, every ton sold Water, give 0.1 game points as a gift, and sell 10 billion tons is 1 billion points...they should know the value of these points."

"1 billion points are definitely worth more than 1 billion cash, and they will settle this account!"

"Three-pronged approach, the fresh water of Lake Baikal costs 10 cents a ton, do you think it can be done?"

Chen Jin asked.

"Well……"

Ling Jundong thought for a while, "I think normal people should agree, but Mr. Chen, in some respects, Maozi is also not normal. They can't see a disadvantage. Once they suffer a loss, someone will make trouble, and finally mess up the matter." He was still not very sure. .

"If you can't cooperate, Maozi will be blocked! In the future, other customers will enjoy the upgrade service, Maozi will not have a share; the withdrawal price of "Science Studio" will be set at the highest level for Maozi, and let them starve to death by guarding Baoshan. It’s not that you can’t get fresh water, it’s just that the cost is higher.”

"!!!"

Ling Jundong was sweating profusely.

This is not just touching porcelain, but playing hooligans directly.

But who let Xinghai Technology master the core technology?

With core technology, you can do whatever you want!
