Chapter 498 Destroying the Desert

In 2021, due to the weakening of the entire world economy, foreign trade has been greatly affected, international shipping prices have soared, and many countries' port facilities are old and unable to complete the handling of goods in a timely manner. Ships often need to ship for several days or half a month, which makes it even more difficult.

International trade is not smooth.

Although China is still one of the few countries with positive economic growth in the world, its total GDP in 2021 reached 138.28 trillion yuan, equivalent to 23.44 trillion U.S. dollars, a year-on-year increase of 8.8%. It still occupies the throne of the world's largest economy, but

Compared with the continuous double-digit positive growth in the previous two decades, people are still not used to the fact that economic growth has dropped to single digits now.

In the three reports submitted by Qin Yuanqing last year, the feasibility research funding for the controllable nuclear fusion project exceeded 100 billion yuan, the feasibility research funding for anti-gravity technology was 2 billion yuan, and the feasibility research funding for the 'Double Ring Space Station' was also over 100 billion yuan. The total construction cost

More than three trillion yuan. This has caused various departments in China to constantly emphasize cutting down on clothing and food, advocating frugality and not wasting, and advocating eating and ordering as much as you like when going to restaurants to ensure the progress of the project.

As for the "Chinese Desert Control Project Proposal" this time, the total project cost reaches 800 billion yuan.

However, the desert control project is divided into three phases. The first phase is the Three North Project around Beijing. This will create an ecological corridor for Beijing and other places, which can avoid sandstorms within 500 kilometers of Beijing, which is also an economic benefit.

The most obvious social benefits.

The second phase of the project extends to the Long Province area, covering the Badain Jaran Desert, Tengger Desert, Mu Us Desert, Kumtag Desert, Qaidam Basin Desert and other places, with a treatment area of ​​343,000 square kilometers.

The third phase of the project covers the Taklimakan Desert, Gurbantunggut Desert and other places, with a management area of ​​approximately 409,000 square kilometers.

It is expected that it will take 3 to 5 years to completely eliminate deserts from China. Although these areas will not be able to carry too many people in a short period of time after controlling the deserts and will be over-exploited, it can immediately improve the living environment in these areas, and can also make Chang'an to

This area of ​​the capital will now be freed from the suffering of sandstorms, and it will also accelerate the economic development of these places. At the same time, it will also provide China with more than 2 million square kilometers of livable environment, increasing the living space, which is of great significance.

Both the economic and social benefits are extremely obvious. Qin Yuanqing believes that this project proposal will be approved.

Before the two sessions, Qin Yuanqing participated in a special meeting and introduced to the representatives that the Desert Management Research Institute had spent nearly 6 years and spent more than 70 billion yuan in funds to finally explore a road suitable for desert control and bring desert control to the forefront.

The cost has been reduced from 2,000 yuan per acre to 200 yuan, greatly reducing the cost of desert control.

“Dear representatives, the new desert management will use special aircraft to spread seeds over a large area, supplemented by regular artificial rainfall, special aircraft spraying water, etc., which will greatly speed up the speed of desert control and greatly reduce the difficulty of desert control!

"Qin Yuanqing introduced: "In other words, with an investment of about 800 billion yuan, in three to five years, we can eliminate deserts across the country, greatly improve the ecological environment in the Three North Regions, and also expand the interests of the Chinese nation.

Living space. Therefore, this project is feasible, necessary and urgent!"

Qin Yuanqing knew very well that because desert control was a livelihood project, the superiors announced the departmental content of the project proposal to the public and solicited public opinions. It is conceivable that they wanted to promote the implementation of this project, and it seemed that this was necessary. In this March, we passed this large-scale investment project with far-reaching impact!

Later, some representatives asked questions about some of the contents mentioned in the project proposal, mainly not in terms of investment and technology, but in terms of non-engineering measures.

Qin Yuanqing answered one by one. In addition to the influence of weather, a very important reason for the seriousness of desertification is that human social activities have aggravated the process. Various cutting and burning of trees have destroyed the forest vegetation in these areas, resulting in the current outcome.

Although the country has invested a lot of manpower, material and financial resources in the Three-North Shelterbelt Project, which has achieved remarkable results, there is one lesson worth summing up, that is, some individuals and some places do not pay attention to these shelterbelts and even plant grapes. etc.

It is not easy to control deserts, but it is easy to destroy them!

Therefore, non-engineering measures are particularly important in these areas. How to ensure environmental protection and avoid soil erosion is a top priority. The land department, water conservancy department, environmental protection department, construction department and governments at all levels need to formulate a series of policies and regulations , to defend the fruits of victory.

At this time's Two Sessions, the topic of desert control is the hottest topic, and the real participation of the whole people in the discussion is, after all, a great thing that concerns China. After these years of continuous reporting, everyone knows that our country has the largest desert area in the world. It is one of the countries that is large and widely distributed and has serious desertification hazards. The country has invested a lot of manpower, material and financial resources in desert control and has curbed the pace of desertification. However, the situation is still very serious, and desertification still threatens China's living space.

Therefore, regarding desert control, everyone has a positive attitude. It can be said that there is sufficient public opinion for the adoption of the desert control project.

At the same time, the Desert Control Research Institute also entered the attention of the people across the country from Long Province. Only then did the people across the country know that there was such an institute and a group of people who had been working hard for desert control in China. Xie Daoxin and others He became a shining star across the country.

Not only the Desert Control Research Institute, the Three-North Shelterbelt and many soldiers, researchers, and workers who have been fighting on the front line of desert control have also come into the sight of the people across the country.

After nearly two years, Qin, Yuan and Qing frequently appeared in front of the TV media, using their influence to popularize the situation of desertification in China, the significance of desertification control, and a series of measures to control it.

With the approval of the "Huaxia Desert Control Project Proposal", Qin Yuanqing gradually faded out of people's sight. As the commander-in-chief of three major projects, what Qin Yuanqing needs is not exposure in front of the people, but promotion. The progress of three major projects.

The greater the exposure, it is not a good thing for Qin Yuanqing. After all, there are always some big rats hiding in the dark, waiting silently, wanting to deliver a fatal blow to him.

Since last year, his children have basically stopped going out, and his wife has basically stayed in the capital, going out less and less, and is gradually withdrawing from people's sight.

The "China Desert Governance Project Proposal" has just been passed, and a special window has appeared on major platforms such as WeChat, Weibo, Douyin, etc. It is the "Desert Governance" Charitable Foundation, which was established by a brand-new department to specifically raise funds for desertification.

Governance.

Qin Yuanqing immediately donated 100 billion yuan to the Desert Management Charitable Foundation in the name of his wife. Qin Yuanqing's charitable donation was like an endorsement of this brand new foundation and brand new department. There is no need to worry.

After being tricked, they actively donated money. By the time the desert control project headquarters was formally established, charitable donations had reached 350 billion yuan, almost half of the funds required for the desert control project.

"I won't be at home during this period, so I will leave the house to you. Thank you for your hard work!" Qin Yuanqing hugged his wife and said apologetically.

Qin Yuanqing cashed out 80 billion yuan of the 100 billion yuan in WeChat Group shares, and together with the remaining cash, he finally collected 100 billion yuan in funds.

Although Qin Yuanqing's shares in WeChat Group are worth trillions of yuan, they are calculated based on market value. However, he cannot cash out much in a short period of time by cashing out from the stock market and selling his shares to some institutions.

Otherwise, it will affect the entire stock market.

Although China's stock market has emerged from the previous downturn, it is actually still very fragile. If there is any disturbance, many industries will plummet.

Compared with China's economic aggregate, China's stock market seems very mismatched. The total value of China's stock market is 96 trillion yuan, equivalent to about 70% of its total GDP. The total value of the United States' stock market is equivalent to 1.5 times its GDP. This is

Even after the economic crisis, it was twice as high as GDP before!

To be honest, this era really has a bad taste. In this special era, apart from China, the best performer is the United States. In other places, such as the lira depreciation of more than 100%, there are various instability phenomena in various places.

, causing wealth from other places to continuously flow into the United States, so that the American economy did not have continuous negative growth, but became the only major economy except China with positive growth, and the American stock market did not fall to the bottom.

It’s no wonder that scholars keep emphasizing that this era is an era of comparison, not that you are better than others, but that you are not as bad as others.

"Go ahead, as long as I'm at home, everything will be fine!" Jingtian said. At this time, he was thinking in his heart whether he should enter the professional manager system and transfer more time to his family.

Since the outbreak of the Black Swan, not only the real estate market has been sluggish, but hotels and the like have also been in difficulty. This made her doubt her ability for a while. She relied on the Second Changjin Lake to barely maintain a balance of payments, which made her very frustrated.

.

In addition, Qin Yuanqing shifted more of his energy to scientific research, and the two children at home always needed someone to take care of them.

Qin Yuanqing didn't know what his wife was thinking at this time. He felt more guilty and owed to his family, but now he had to take action. He had to promote the development of the times. Otherwise, if he missed this opportunity, at least the overall situation would be better.

Delayed for ten years.

Moreover, more funds going into scientific research and desert control can also prevent floods from overflowing into real estate, causing real estate to grow against the trend. As a result, ordinary people will take over, leaving many people burdened with heavy loans.
