Chapter 541 Rapid Development

It doesn't cost much to buy a desert, but it costs a lot to control it.

Li Zetian had too much money on hand, so even though it was expensive to control the desert, when he thought of the final benefits, he resolutely decided to develop the desert and turn waste into treasure.

There are many ways to control deserts, such as setting up grass grid sand barriers.The so-called grass grid sand barrier, as the name suggests, is to use bundles of wheat straw, straw, reed and other materials to spread on the sand in a grid shape, and then use a shovel to roll into the sand, leaving 1/3 or half of it to stand naturally on the sand. On the four sides, move the sand in the center of the grid to the roots of the wheatgrass around, so that the wheatgrass stands firmly on the sand to form a windshield wall to weaken the erosion of the wind. The amount of water is conducive to the growth of psammophytes.

On the north bank of the Yellow River in the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region of China, there is a place that was once unknown, but later became a sensation in the world. This is Shapotou.A miracle in the history of human desert control was born here, ending the long-standing dilemma of "sand forcing people to retreat".And the creation of this miracle stems from something so simple as to be unbelievable-the wheat straw square.This simple grass square is famous all over the world, and can not help but be called "Chinese Rubik's Cube" abroad!
Li Zetian believes that this simple and effective grass grid is worthy of vigorous promotion. In the past, Chinese people built grass grids by hand, but he can use machinery to quickly lay grass grids on a large area, and the effect will be amazing! ! !
Of course, there are many conventional methods, so I won’t repeat them one by one.

In addition to these methods, Li Zetian's main plan is to transfer seawater to the desert regardless of cost, and build a seawater desalination plant, so as to obtain a large amount of fresh water and produce salt.

Of course, there is no need to desalinate all the seawater, and seawater agriculture can also be developed in the desert.

Seawater is inexhaustible, and using seawater to irrigate crops is a dream of mankind.In the 21st century, through the efforts of countless scientists, this dream is expected to come true.With the continuous development of agricultural science and technology, in order to effectively solve the problems of fresh water crisis, food crisis, arable land reduction and environmental deterioration, a new agricultural model was born.At this very moment, seawater irrigated agriculture is on the rise all over the world!
In short, without water, desert control is empty talk!
The environment in the desert is very harsh and unbearable for human beings. Therefore, Li Zetian also plans to use a large number of robots and large machinery.In addition, gene technology companies are also actively developing biotechnology to develop drought-tolerant transgenic plants.

At the beginning of the new year of 2014, the plan to transform the desert began, and the project was huge and shocking.Because it is necessary to start construction in Africa, it is natural to hire local workers, which solves the employment problem of a large number of local people and promotes local economic development, especially those countries that have sold their deserts to Li Zetian have benefited a lot.

Africa is a potentially huge market, but unfortunately it is too poor. If Li Zetian wants to sell products, they must be able to afford them...

Helping poor African countries to develop is actually beneficial to Li Zetian, the United States and even countries around the world.

Therefore, from the moment Li Zetian decided to transform the desert, he intended to aid Africa and make it develop rapidly.Li Zetian plans to invest a huge sum of 5000 billion U.S. dollars in business, education, and railway construction.Li Zetian believes that with him taking the lead, other investors will soon turn their attention to Africa.

In fact, many investors have begun to pay attention to the economic development of African countries.In addition, they were very interested in the desert project proposed by Li Zetian.

Li Zetian's movement and determination to transform the desert are so great, it's impossible for people not to be full of fantasy about the future of the desert!

In the past few decades, Li Zetian has created countless myths.In the eyes of everyone, Li Zetian is synonymous with success. His influence and appeal are unmatched!
Since January 2014, along with the start of the vigorous desert transformation plan, more and more people have begun to participate in contracting desert projects.

The area of ​​70 square kilometers is astonishingly large, but by March, nearly half of the desert had been contracted out, and if the remaining half had not been kept by Li Zetian for his own use, I am afraid that someone would be willing to rush to contract it.

Since then, Li Zetian not only paid back the cost of buying the desert for US$5 million, but also earned US$4.5 million.In other words, when these deserts changed hands, Li Zetian not only got 35 square kilometers of deserts for nothing, but also made a profit of 4.5 million US dollars.

The name of a man, the shadow of a tree.

Others are really envious!

This is not a big deal, what is even more powerful is that in the future, Li Zetian will be able to share 10% to 30% of the profits from the contractors here.

There is a saying that "everyone gathers firewood and the fire burns high". With so many people joining in, the speed of desert transformation will become very fast!

The desert transformation plan and the African aid plan are in full swing, and Li Zetian has not forgotten the ocean development.

As we all know, the earth's surface area is about 5.1 million square kilometers, of which land accounts for 29% and oceans account for 71%.

It can be seen that marine resources are much more than continental resources!
Compared with land economic activities, ocean development is an emerging field.In addition to the traditional marine fishery, marine transportation and sea salt industry, due to the development of modern science and technology, the ability of human beings to understand and develop the ocean has been continuously improved, the scope of ocean development has expanded, new resources have been discovered, and economic activities in new fields have been developed. A series of marine emerging industries have been formed, such as seawater aquaculture, offshore oil and gas exploitation, marine entertainment and tourism, etc.There are also some marine economic development activities that are in the process of industrialization, such as seawater desalination and comprehensive utilization of seawater, utilization of ocean energy, development of marine drugs, new utilization of ocean space, and deep-sea mining.

Since the beginning of the year, Li Zetian has invested 5000 billion U.S. dollars to establish the Kronos Ocean Group Company, and then frantically acquired companies related to ocean development, and then formed eight major subsidiaries: ocean transportation, ocean mining, ocean fisheries, ocean salt industry, offshore oil and gas industry, marine energy, marine pharmaceuticals, and marine entertainment.

People can't help but sigh, Li Zetian is so awesome, Kronos Marine Group has become the world's largest marine company since its establishment.

Some people are happy and some are worried. Japan is the largest aquatic empire in the world, and Japan occupies the fourth of the world's nine fishery giants. Is it awesome?South Korea also occupies one.

Li Zetian vigorously developed the marine industry, and the fisheries of Japan and South Korea were greatly impacted.As for the other four major fishery companies, almost all of them have become subsidiaries of marine fishery companies under the Cronos Marine Group:
One is Thai Wansheng in Thailand, established in 1977 by the old Chinese Chen Hanshi, and it is currently the world's largest manufacturer of shelf-stable tuna products;

One is Nutreco in the Netherlands.

One is Marine Harvest in Norway.

One is Cargill Aquatic Products of the United States.

Japan's fishery giants are backed by Japanese consortiums, and Japanese companies like to form groups. Therefore, Japan's fishery is far more developed than other countries.

However, Japan has four major fishery giants, and Li Zetian now also has four major fishery giants. Come on, who is afraid of whom! ! !
