Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

At this time, the royal butler came to remind the king that it was time to rest. How can the Saudi King who is in high spirits rest? This is a strategic issue related to the development of the entire country.

Seeing this situation, Bao Zixuan said: "Your Majesty, would you like to take a rest early? We will discuss other matters tomorrow."

King Saudi Arabia said without hesitation: "Don't. If you don't listen to everything tonight, you will lose sleep when you go back."

Then he said to the royal steward: "I'll make an exception tonight. Don't bother us when you come over."

Seeing the looks in the eyes of the other princes, the royal steward glanced at Bao Zixuan and then retreated.

Bao Zixuan continued to operate the computer and saw - Industry written on the screen.

When they see the word "industry", members of the Saudi royal family know it. Now let’s talk about the issue of becoming a powerful country. If we have been talking about the basics before, then now we need to start introducing an industrial path suitable for Saudi Arabia’s development.

The Saudi royal family has also discussed the country's industrial problems before and found that it will be difficult to develop industry until the water and electricity problems cannot be solved. Apart from oil, there is really nothing in the Arab region that attracts foreign investors. There is no need to mention industrial development as it has little to do with them.

If Heiyun Group had not solved the power problem, there is no guarantee that the science and technology town would have been established. Now Bao Zixuan mentions industry. As the head of the most powerful industrial group in the world, this guy will definitely have a solution.

Bao Zixuan: “Saudi Arabia can build an industrial system around technology towns and then find a path suitable for the country to develop into a powerful nation.”

"There is a lot of sand on the ground in Saudi Arabia, and sand is the raw material for glass production. If we receive orders from large glass bottle consumers such as Coca-Cola, there will be absolutely no problem in establishing a glass factory in Saudi Arabia."

At the same time, we can also try to produce chips, and we can start with low-end products in the early stage. Only in this way can the benefits of sand and gravel resources be maximized and the country's industrialization process can be accelerated.

In the previous life, Coca-Cola built the world's largest glass bottle production factory in Israel, and that was because Jewish capital was behind it. At this time, Israel is building a chip production base and really doesn't care about the glass bottle issue.

Who can produce traditional products like glass bottles if they can produce chips with higher industrial grade. This is an opportunity, an opportunity for Saudi Arabia to get orders.

Bao Zixuan also considered doing so domestically, but after the investigation meeting, he found that it would be difficult to achieve. Coca-Cola's largest market besides the United States is Europe, and China is very far away from both places. The transportation cost of production in China alone is an astronomical figure, even more expensive than the Coke bottle itself.

Saudi Arabia and Israel are geographically similar. If the Arabs want to do it, they should be able to do it. Funding is not a problem for Saudi Arabia; at worst, it can acquire a portion of Coca-Cola shares and join the board of directors, and everything will be easy to handle.

Seeing the members of the Saudi royal family nodding, Bao Zixuan continued to operate the computer and said at the same time: "Currently, if you want to establish the Saudi industrial system, you must start from scratch and require large-scale investment from the state."

"As long as the power and fresh water problems are solved, Saudi Arabia can build any factory it wants. However, developed countries will not allow Saudi Arabia to successfully transform easily, so it needs to start from the low end."

"There are many excellent ports in Saudi Arabia, which are very suitable for establishing shipbuilding companies. It is just because of the weak industrial base, labor problems and other factors that it has not been realized. But as long as you work hard and invest huge amounts of money, this will not be a problem."

"The government needs to provide subsidies in the early stage. Only in this way can companies survive. What I mean by subsidies is that even if the price/performance ratio is not high, domestic products must be purchased. Only in this way can companies have a healthy development."

"Heavy industry needs to be planned well, and light industry can be launched directly. There is no light industry production base in the Arabian Peninsula, but Saudi Arabia can be the first to eat crabs."

Bao Zixuan pointed it out and stopped talking. Light industry requires a large number of female workers. Whether Saudi Arabia’s current policy will allow this is a very troublesome matter. Just stop there. If you say too much, people will think you are destroying traditional culture.

Seeing the various industrial layout analyzes that appeared on the screen, the Saudi royal family felt that Bao Zixuan should have lived in Saudi Arabia since he was a child. Otherwise, why are we more familiar with many places than they are? This is too scary.

If Bao Zixuan's plan is followed, Saudi Arabia will definitely become an industrial power in 20 years. Even if it's half implemented, it's a big deal, but you have to take it seriously.

Mr. Bao didn't give them too long to think, and started operating on the computer; the word "agriculture" appeared on the screen.

Saudi Arabia's land has nothing to do with agriculture. The land is so barren that nothing grows. Now Bao Zixuan suddenly mentioned agricultural issues, what did this young man mean?

But after seeing what happened later, the Saudis basically understood what Bao Shaofu wanted. Because the screen says - high-tech agriculture, then everything makes sense.

Bao Zixuan: "If a country wants to avoid being threatened and controlled by other countries, it must develop its own agriculture. Not to mention self-sufficiency, at least it can meet the basic needs of its people."

"It is a fact that Saudi Arabia is not suitable for crop growth, but there is an advantage that many people have not discovered. The temperature here is very high. As long as the moisture of crops can be maintained, the growth rate of crops in Saudi Arabia will be twice that of other regions, or even higher."

Seeing that the royal family members were very curious, Bao Zixuan continued: "I just talked about glass. As long as it is a technological breakthrough. If Saudi Arabia can produce large pieces of glass, then it can build a glass greenhouse."

"In this way, crop moisture will not evaporate easily, and crops with locked moisture will grow very fast. Barren land can also be easily solved. You can go to the Far East of the Soviet Union to find a solution."

Then members of the Saudi royal family saw the words "Humus" appear on the screen. Although I didn’t understand what it meant, I still looked down patiently.

Fortunately, there is a note below; the average particle size of humus soil in the dry state is 223 μm, and the particle size in the wet state is 66.5 μm. The density of dry humus soil is about 2.47g/cm^3, and the structure is loose and porous. When humus soil is fully in contact with water, its organic matter and solid matter are only slightly dissolved. After the humus soil comes into contact with deionized water, calcium and magnesium elements will precipitate. When the contact time is less than 2 hours, the precipitated calcium and magnesium elements will increase with the increase of the contact time. When the contact time exceeds 2 hours, the calcium and magnesium elements will dissolve. The amount is almost no longer increasing. Humus soil contains functional groups such as carboxyl and hydroxyl groups.

The humus soil has been carefully screened to remove waste that is too coarse or too fine, and the parts that have been completely fermented and are most suitable for growing crops are selected, then distilled at high temperatures, disinfected and sterilized before being developed and used.

Except for the humus soil in Northeast China that was acquired by Heiyun Group and Baohuodong Mining Company, the rest is basically controlled by the state. It is no longer possible for Japan and South Korea to find bargains. This is the result Bao Zixuan hopes to see.

Although the shareholders didn't understand why Bao Zixuan bought so much land, they all chose to believe it because Bao Zixuan's decisions had never disappointed anyone.

After seeing this annotation and renderings, the Saudi royal family finally understood what it meant. Purchase humus soil from the Soviet Union and then return it to Saudi Arabia for processing, or process it locally. These humus soils are then combined with ordinary soil and placed in the greenhouse.

It seems that this agricultural route is very consistent with Saudi Arabia’s national conditions, and glass can be produced by itself. All you need to do is buy soil from the Soviet Union and bring it back, so that the Saudi people can eat locally grown crops.

This is the dream of several generations of kings, is it about to be realized at this moment? At some times, agriculture is more important than industry. Now that there is an opportunity to develop the country's agriculture, those in power will not reject it.

The king asked directly: "Mr. Bao, this plan can really be realized. I don't question you, but it is related to the core interests of a country and the survival of the people. There is no room for sloppiness, let alone any mistakes."

The food issue is related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and no one dares to take risks. Food issues have been a top priority since ancient times, and Saudi Arabia is no exception.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "It's difficult to achieve in other places. There shouldn't be much problem in Saudi Arabia."

"Currently, Saudi Arabia has a population of 26 million, but the land area exceeds 2.2 million square kilometers. Many places have not been developed yet, and there is enough space that can be developed and utilized."

"In addition, the two most important points for building a glass greenhouse are raw materials and funds. Saudi Arabia has a large amount of sand and soil resources, which can be said to be inexhaustible. Funds are not a problem for Saudi Arabia. As for the water source problem, it can also be solved through seawater desalination. "

"Go to the Soviet Union to buy humus soil. I believe the Soviets will not refuse. Even the Americans can't say much. After all, Saudi Arabia is not going to the Soviet Union to buy weapons."

After hearing Bao Zixuan's explanation, all the royal family members smiled with satisfaction. If the agricultural problem is really solved, Saudi Arabia's comprehensive national strength will be further strengthened and it will not always be controlled by others.

Next, the royal officials saw concepts and design blueprints for soilless cultivation, comprehensive agricultural production, and sustainable agricultural development plans.

Members of the royal family are reflecting on how agriculture can still be grown in this way. It seems that we really need to go out more and see more, instead of staying at home all the time. The outside world is so developed, and they are always thinking about selling oil. Ideas need to change, otherwise they will easily be eliminated by mainstream society.
