Chapter 279 The Desert Turns Waste into Treasure
"Wow, it seems that only our country is vigorously building super charging stations and super charging piles!"

When several friends passed by a super charging station, one of the women couldn't help sighing, with a touch of pride in her tone.

Foreign countries are still burning oil, but we in China have begun to popularize electric vehicles on a large scale.

Only three months have passed, and the first batch of nearly 100 million Tesla Mini mini-cars has been delivered.

Tesla Mini is popular in China and even the world, and the supply is simply in short supply.

Tesla Mini, Tesla Roadste and Tesla Model S frequently appear in many film and television dramas.

The female companion smiled and said: "There are also super charging stations and impact charging piles in foreign countries, but they have not carried out drastic reforms like China. Once electric vehicles become popular, they will consume a lot of power. I heard that Zhang Jun is working on XZ, XJ, NMG, Gansu, Ningxia West and other places bought land and planned to build photovoltaic power stations. These places have long sunshine hours, and as long as the photovoltaic scale is large, the daily power generation is quite considerable."

"Wow, that's really exciting!"

"That's right, the whole country is paying attention to this matter!"

……

……

There are many desert areas in China, and the desert area accounts for 13% of the total land area of ​​the country. The reason why people seldom feel the existence of surrounding deserts is that these deserts are almost all concentrated in the northwest region of my country, which accounts for about 80% of the total desert area of ​​the country. [-]% of the area, with XJ, NMG, Gansu, and Ningxia provinces as the most.

"The total area of ​​China's deserts is about 70 square kilometers, and the total area including the Gobi of more than 50 square kilometers is 128 million square kilometers. Boss, are you sure you want to spend huge sums of money to improve these lands?" Shangguan Muye heard After Zhang Jun's plan, he was dumbfounded.

Zhang Jun wants to turn waste into treasure in desert areas. He wants to build photovoltaic power stations and plant trees to turn Northwest China into a fertile land.

"My motivation to make money is to spend it!"

"I have earned so much money in my life. If I don't bring it with me when I am born or die, I will do something meaningful and make my name last forever, so that future generations can always remember me."

"The book "How the Steel Was Tempered" wrote, 'The most precious thing is life, life belongs to a person only once, and a person's life should be spent in this way: when he looks back on the past, he will not be ashamed of wasting his time. Remorse, and should not be ashamed of doing nothing. When he was dying, he could say: My whole life and all my energy are dedicated to the most magnificent cause in the world'."

"My most magnificent career is to help the motherland achieve great rejuvenation. This may be my mission in this world..."

When Shangguan Muye heard this, he immediately admired him.

……

Half a month later, Zhang Jun publicized that a huge sum of US$1000 billion was used to purchase and transform the desert.

As soon as the news came out, people were first surprised by Zhang Jun's ambition to transform the desert.

Immediately, everyone couldn't help discussing how rich Zhang Jun is to spend 1000 billion US dollars to buy and transform the desert?
Soon, countless people began to steal Zhang Jun's property.

Just listing the annual profits of the first few companies surprised everyone.

First of all, it is naturally the well-known Legend Technology. The annual net profit of Legend Technology is as high as 1650 billion U.S. dollars, of which only the "i" series products bring about 700 billion U.S. dollars in profits to Legend Technology every year. Other products, such as the Internet, games, and chips , switch, router, mobile communication, 4G, TV, refrigerator, air conditioner, battery, LCD, memory, camera, etc...

In the past six months or so, BMW has launched a Tesla car, and its profits have skyrocketed. Coupled with other income, it is estimated that its annual net profit will be as high as 340 billion U.S. dollars.

Chinese Land owns 5306 "Legend Plazas" and a large number of properties around the world. Its real estate business has grown enormously. It is the largest real estate company in the world. It collects rents and sells houses every year, and its profits exceed RMB 3100 billion, approximately $400 billion.

In addition, China Energy Group, Disney Legend Entertainment Group, Alibaba Group, Standard Chartered Bank Group, Kirin Financial Group, China News Agency Group, Hutchison Whampoa, Wheelock and various investments, etc.

It is impossible for people to fully calculate how much money Zhang Jun can earn every year.

However, $1000 billion may not be a big deal to him.

At this moment, the entire Internet can't help but once again set off discussions on Zhang Jun's wealth.

In the eyes of everyone, Zhang Jun is probably the most profitable businessman in history.

Zhang Jun kept a low-key silence in the face of heated discussions from the outside world.

They sent people to negotiate with the government, and started buying land frantically in the desert and neighboring areas.

At the same time, Alipay and Facebook launched "Ant Forest" at the same time.

Zhang Jun used a huge amount of resources to promote "Ant Forest".

For a while, the entire Internet was full of information about "Ant Forest".

After netizens came into contact with Ant Forest, they couldn't help being shocked.

Ant Forest is jointly launched by Alipay and Facebook. It is a public welfare activity designed for low-carbon users. Its model is similar to the early happy farm. Friends can steal each other's energy, so that their "trees" can grow faster. big.

Happy Farm has become a thing of the past, but Ant Forest can flourish. The reason is mainly due to the public welfare and authenticity of Ant Forest.

In terms of public welfare, Ant Forest is defined as a low-carbon account.Low-carbon behaviors such as walking, cycling, and ticket purchases will be converted into equivalent energy.And when the energy reaches a certain amount, a tree can be planted.Ant Forest is using this method to prove that public welfare is not just donations, but can keep pace with the times and present more ways to make public welfare more interesting and diversified.The tree planting behavior of Ant Forest emphasizes public welfare, and it is the root of goodness that everyone has to do their best to make the world better.

In terms of authenticity, the first is the authenticity of energy conversion, that is to say, the energy generated by the user's daily exercise steps and cycling distance are all obtained through accurate calculation based on real behavior in reality.The second is the authenticity of the trees. These trees planted by users can be seen through satellite cloud images taken by near-Earth satellites.

Therefore, when Alipay and Facebook promoted "Ant Forest" at the same time, this public welfare game immediately became popular all over the Internet.

“It’s the first time I’ve seen an online and offline charity game like Ant Forest. 14 billion trees will be planted! The deserts in our country will definitely be curbed, and the deserts will be turned into oases! By then, the land of China will surely show infinite vitality, green waters will be plentiful, green mountains will be beautiful, and people will be happy!"

"Good guy, we must support you strongly! I said why did Zhang Jun suddenly want to buy the desert, it turned out to be for planting trees! Brothers, stand up, everyone give me to plant trees in the ant forest!!!" Someone Send messages in the QQ group and Facebook group, call friends and friends, and actively promote Ant Forest.

Such a good thing for public welfare should of course be advertised widely.

Seeing this, the leaders of the country and all over the country expressed their support one after another.

For a while, Zhang Jun easily purchased a large amount of desert and Gobi, totaling about 40 square kilometers, larger than the land area of ​​Baodao.Zhang Jun intends to transform these deserts and build them into super large desert economic plantations.

If the country did not dare to sell more land, Zhang Jun would have taken all of them.

The land in the desert is so cheap that it is almost free.

Generally, the contract period is 70 years, the rent per mu is about 50 yuan, and the contract is 70 yuan for 2000 years.

Zhang Jun bought a lot of land, and the price was cheaper. The 40 square kilometers of desert land, which is 6 million mu, only cost 600 billion US dollars, which is less than 5000 billion yuan.

The leaders are also considering using Zhang Jun's power to turn these deserts into oases, so the sales are very cheap, and they are relatively scattered.

In addition, for the government, planting trees can also solve a lot of performance. The tree itself is also a kind of economic crop that can generate income.

The desertification of China's land is becoming more and more serious. If Zhang Jun comes forward, the desertification of the land will be curbed soon.

……

At this time, Ant Forest Company has issued a call to the outside world, sincerely inviting experts, professors and people with lofty ideals to join Ant Forest and jointly transform the desert environment.

As soon as the call is made, it can be said that everyone responds!
All of a sudden, countless people sent profiles to Ant Forest.

Controlling the desert is not that simple, it requires scientific control, and at the same time vigorously develop the desert economy, greening the desert and enriching pockets.

In just one month, Ant Forest has recruited 228 experts and professors at home and abroad, as well as a large number of doctors and graduate students, and there are even more undergraduates.

Research and cultivation of psammophytes, development of desert ecological industries, development of advanced drip irrigation technology, and utilization of characteristic animal and plant resources in desert areas can drive the development of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and processing, storage, packaging, transportation and other related industries, forming a one-two-three A new pattern of industrial integration and development.The desert is also a unique tourism resource, which can be combined with related industries such as culture, sports, medical care, health care, etc., adopt the "tourism +" development model, optimize the regional industrial structure, and form a new format, which is conducive to the development of consumer industries...

Zhang Jun had a lot of ideas in his mind. In the eyes of others, buying deserts was very stupid, but Zhang Jun himself felt that deserts were a huge wealth, but they were not used well.He is confident that with his hard work, the desert will soon bring him unimaginable income!

……

As the scale of Ant Forest is getting bigger and bigger, in the eyes of the outside world, Ant Forest has developed into the world's largest desert control research company with high technology content.

Of course, more ordinary farmers will be recruited for afforestation, which will solve the employment problem of at least 20 people.

The bigger the action of Ant Forest Company, the wider the impact will be.

At the same time, it drove the explosion of the "Ant Forest" mini-game.

Now, even old people who don’t have access to the Internet know that if you plant a tree in the “Ant Forest” game on Alipay and Facebook APP, Ant Forest will plant a corresponding tree in the desert.

At present, the popularity of planting trees together is very high for public welfare.

Everyone is willing to do public welfare and transform the desert.

Many people also went to Ant Forest Company to express their willingness to be volunteers.

Zhang Jun asked someone to count, and there were 13 volunteers across the country.

With so much free labor, Zhang Jun asked these volunteers to plant trees in various desert areas according to the plan of Ant Forest.

Work together, unite as one.

With so many people planting trees, it is conceivable that even in a short period of time, they can achieve extremely good results.

So in less than two months, 1 million trees were planted.

Zhang Jun was very satisfied when he saw it. In his previous life, Alibaba took many years to plant 2.23 million trees, and he only took two months to plant more than 1 million trees.

Alibaba only spends hundreds of millions of RMB to plant trees every year, which is really incomparable to itself.

In the Ant Forest established by Zhang Jun, the trees planted are divided into those planted by users and those planted by oneself.

Zhang Jun can't afford to wait for online users to plant trees, so he mainly needs to plant trees by himself to control the desert, and Ant Forest's public welfare is just a matter of chance.

But I have to say, sometimes, the power of money is really awesome.

With the support of a lot of money, the transformation of domestic deserts is very fast, and a large number of small saplings have appeared in many places, like rows of city walls, which can be seen with the naked eye even through satellite photos.

……

Ant Forest Company, large meeting room.

A man is doing desert economy industry market analysis for Zhang Jun.

The person said: "The desert resources are actually unique, but the local awareness of development and utilization is not strong! The desert has both unique natural landscapes, unique animal and plant resources, and numerous human resources. Moreover, the desert has abundant groundwater reserves. The groundwater reserves in the Taklamakan Desert alone exceed 8 trillion cubic meters."

Zhang Jun was surprised that there are so many of them underground in the desert, which is really surprising!

After a pause, Zhang Jun nodded to the man for him to continue.

The expert continued: "On the other hand, many people don't have enough understanding of the development of desert economy, and some development concepts are lagging behind. They only see the 'harm' of deserts and do not regard deserts as special resources; Little is known about the desert economy and how to develop the desert industry; some people think that the development of the sand industry not only has a long development cycle, a large investment, but also high risks, without the development of industrial projects with quick results, the development of the sand industry in desert areas is a waste of funds and has no practical significance ; These one-sided understandings and concepts have affected the development of the desert economy to a certain extent."

"Furthermore, the desert economy has begun to show results, but the industrial scale is generally small. The planting and processing of XJ sand-growing characteristic economic plants has begun to show results, forming a desert with cistanche, wine grape, seabuckthorn, wolfberry, rose, licorice, blackcurrant, etc. The key desert characteristic industry has developed a large number of sand products such as fruit beverages, medicines, health products, and cosmetics, and has driven the development of related industries such as planting, processing, storage, transportation, and sales.

Especially around the Tarim Basin, a dominant forest and fruit production base based on red dates, walnuts, apricots, pears, pomegranates, apples, and almonds has been established, further accelerating the development of the characteristic forest and fruit industry.

However, the sand industry is still an emerging industry, and the social attention is not enough. It takes a long time from project investment to realize economic benefits. The upsurge of attracting private investment has not yet formed, and the current industrial scale is generally small.Due to their limited financial resources, governments at all levels are not doing enough to support development.The loan amount of the corresponding financial institutions is relatively small, which is difficult to meet the financing needs of enterprises! "

Zhang Jun smiled when he heard the words, and said to the expert: "Haha, after hearing what you said, I am more confident. The land of the desert has huge commercial value, just waiting for us to develop it!!!"
