The richest man

Chapter 289 Super Project
In this life, China's population has grown faster than in previous lives. By 2011, the total population had reached 14 billion.

The larger the population, the more food is consumed.

However, China is self-sufficient in grain production. By 2011, the total grain output exceeded 6.5 million tons, and the per capita grain was 450 kg.The world's per capita grain standard is 400 kilograms, that is to say, 400 kilograms per capita can be enough to eat.

However, China still needs to import 1.4 million tons of grain from abroad every year, of which more than 80.00% are soybeans, and the rest are mainly corn and sorghum.

With the continuous improvement of domestic people's living standards, the consumer demand for meat, eggs and milk is getting higher and higher, so the aquaculture industry is developing rapidly, and the demand for feed is getting higher and higher, and soybean is the best raw material for processing feed.Corn and sorghum are also used as feed and industrial grain.

The import of 1.4 million tons of grain is indeed a large number, which leads to every time a food crisis occurs, European and American countries begin to blame China, saying that Africans cannot eat because China imports too much grain, which leads to Food prices have risen, making food unaffordable for Africans.

This kind of speech can be described as rampant in Europe and the United States.

In fact, it is the "four major grain merchants" that control global grain prices, namely American ADM, American Bunge, American Cargill, and French Louis Dreyfus.

Every time there is a food crisis, they make a fortune.

Zhang Jun is also involved in grain, but after all, he is a latecomer, and his scale is still not as good as the four major grain merchants.

In 2011, regional conflict broke out, resulting in reduced food production.The conflicts during this period were dominated by the Syrian civil war, and Syria is a major grain producer in West Asia. Due to the impact on Syria’s agriculture, this led to a reduction in the supply of food in the international market to a certain extent, leading to an increase in food prices. , leading to the outbreak of the food crisis.

Behind the rise in grain prices is actually the operation of the four major grain merchants, fueling the flames and raising grain prices.

……

……

"The price of imported soybeans has risen a lot. The four major grain merchants are really sucking people's blood. As soon as the price of food increases, Africa will immediately face the problem of insufficient food. It’s so pissing off. Many people in Africa don’t understand it. They simply think that our country buys too much food, which leads to food shortages and rising food prices. They have no money to buy food!” Kan Yuanzhou, CEO of China Grain Company, was furious He said in disbelief, "Besides, when we import soybeans, we hope that the four major grains can lower the price a bit, but their attitude is very arrogant, as if they like to buy or not, as if they will eat us..."

Zhang Jun saw a photo on the news on his mobile phone. It was a photo of a scrawny black African lying on the ground begging for food. His eyes eager to live, those innocent eyes, aroused sympathy.Zhang Jun was furious and expressed his indignation at the inhumane deeds of these grain merchants.

Kan Yuanzhou sighed: "It would be great if our country could have a lot of land to produce grain~ Not only do we not import grain from the four major foreign grains, but we also export grain. If it can be realized, the face of the four major grains must be become extremely ugly."

He does not mean that.

When Zhang Jun heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up!
Although China is very large, China's arable land area is only 20.235 billion mu.

India's land area is not as large as China's, but its arable land area is 27 billion mu.

But if the desert is developed into fertile soil, China will add a lot of arable land and produce a lot of food.

The combined total area of ​​China's deserts and neighboring areas is 128 million square kilometers, accounting for 13% of the country's total land area.The arid region of Northwest China is the most concentrated area of ​​deserts in China, accounting for about 80% of the total desert area of ​​the country.

At this time, Zhang Jun couldn't help but think that the Netherlands is a country with a land area of ​​only 2.5 BJ, but its agriculture is extremely developed, and its grain export is second only to the United States. .

It is simply unimaginable that such a small country has so many agricultural exports, which is really amazing!
It is reported that the output of Dutch tomatoes can reach 100 kg/square meter, which is incredible.

荷兰只有22万农民，前世2015年却创造了820亿美元的农业出口;中国有2.2亿农业劳动力，同期农产品却比荷兰少110亿美元。

The agricultural efficiency of the Netherlands is 1000 times that of China.

The reason why Dutch agriculture is so developed is of course not because of manual work, but because of its highly developed agricultural technology.The distribution of agriculture in the Netherlands is completely different from traditional intensive farming.You will find such a strange sight: Half of the land in this country is used for agriculture and horticultural planting. Next to the farms and breeding farms, there are actually skyscrapers and factories.Most of the agricultural products are actually grown in greenhouses!
"The Netherlands can do greenhouse planting, so can I. Ordinary farmers in China can't manage it by themselves, but I can build a large number of greenhouses on a large scale in the desert, which is possible!" Zhang Jun couldn't help showing a smile, He has seen similar news in his previous life. It is completely feasible to build a greenhouse in the desert!
Planting trees while building desert greenhouses, and going on for many years, the desert will become China's fertile soil sooner or later!

However, whether it is planting trees or building a desert greenhouse, water is needed.

The most precious thing in the desert is water.

Solving the water problem will solve the desert problem.

Water is something that cannot be created out of thin air. It is very difficult to see water in desert areas. Even if there is groundwater, there are still too few water resources.

When Zhang Jun thought of this, he felt a headache.

In the previous life, many netizens expressed their opinions on the Internet. Many people believed that the best solution to the desert’s water shortage was "cross-basin water transfer". There were two relatively feasible solutions. The melting water of glaciers on the plateau enters the Tarim Basin in XJ, but the total amount of diving in this plan is not very large, and the implementation benefits are not very satisfactory.The second plan is the Hongqi River Project, which draws water from the Yarlung Zangbo River in the southeast of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in my country, then goes north along the eastern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and builds dams on the upper reaches of the Lancang River, Jinsha River, Nujiang River, Yalong River and Dadu River to replenish water, and then Continue to the north to enter the Yellow River Basin, and then go west along the Hexi Corridor to enter the Tarim Basin, which can realize the whole artesian flow.The Hongqi River project is extremely large, and the construction is extremely difficult, and it is still in the stage of scientific demonstration.

It is said that the investment in the Hongqi River Project may exceed 4 trillion yuan, and when converted into US dollars, that is 6000 trillion US dollars!

A rich country like Zhang Jun has to think about it carefully.

"Great work in the present age, benefit in the future! Isn't it 6000 billion US dollars? I didn't pay it alone. This is a national project, and the country has to take money! Moreover, investing in magnificent national projects will greatly stimulate the entire country. The economic vitality of the society and the growth of GDP.

Zhang Jun felt that it was necessary for him to invest in this project.

"It's just that the income from investing in this kind of project... just use the land along the Hongqi River project as compensation! If you pay half of the money yourself, the country should approve this project!" Zhang Jun murmured.

Just do it when you think about it, Zhang Jun is not ambiguous at all.

He is a person who can reach heaven directly, so he made a direct phone call.

On the phone, Zhang Jun stated that he wanted to invest in the Hongqi River project to completely solve the problem of water shortage in Northwest China.

The leaders were stunned. Such a huge project cost 4 trillion yuan, which is bigger than the Three Gorges Project. Zhang Jun, an entrepreneur, wanted to invest, but he heard later that the country can use the land along the Hongqi River as compensation. I think it is reasonable, and Zhang Jun is managing the desert, and there is a serious shortage of water resources in the desert, so Zhang Jun is pushing the Hongqi River project.

The leader said he knew it and would hold a meeting to study and discuss it.

The Hongqi River project can only be done by the state, even if Zhang Jun has money.

"I don't know how long they will study and discuss? If I plan to spend a few years, I won't waste such a long time..."

"In the early days, domestic experts proposed to divert the water from the north to the south of Lake Baikal, but it was a pity that it was too far-reaching. In 2010, the relevant staff put forward a bold idea: artificially intervene in the clouds in the sky, Transfer water to the sky. This proposal is incredible, but the experts are not joking, and solemnly named it the 'Tianhe Project'."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Jun shook his head. This Tianhe Project is more difficult to realize than the Hongqi River Project. It has a sense of science fiction. It uses the atmosphere to realize cross-regional water transfer, because there is a large amount of water vapor distributed in the air. Monitoring can be carried out at an appropriate time, and artificial intervention can effectively increase the precipitation in a specific area.

If the Hongqihe project is passed, then the Tianhe project is unnecessary.

However, the Tianhe project gave Zhang Jun a flash of inspiration. He suddenly thought that in his previous life, a research and development team invented the magic weapon for fetching water from the sky——Water seer, buried the water seer in the desert, and used its own special equipment to collect air. As much as 40 liters of water can be taken in a day in the desert area, so as to achieve the purpose of taking water in the desert.This amount can already provide a normal life for a day, but this desert water artifact still has some flaws in its design and has not been put into the market.

"If I let people develop Water Seeer and perfect it, wouldn't it be possible to urgently solve the problem of desert water shortage..."

The water seer is shaped like a mushroom tower, and perhaps photovoltaic panels can be used to make each mushroom tower a power generation device!

In the morning of the next day, Zhang Jun immediately held a major meeting. At the meeting, Zhang Jun raised three topics: the desert greenhouse, the Hongqi River project, and the water seer artifact.

But basically Zhang Jun has made a final decision, and everyone just needs to propose a specific plan for realization.

"Boss, not to mention the greenhouse and desert shed and the water seer artifact, the Hongqi River project alone, our funds may be trapped..." Shangguan Muye frowned.

Zhang Jun said lightly: "To launch our companies that don't make much money to raise funds and cash out, we only need to control these companies. For example, "Qunar", with a valuation of more than 1350 billion US dollars, we only need to sell 20 % of the shares, you can recover 270 billion US dollars!Some companies that are not very important can also sell part of their shares to investment institutions just like Qunar. "

"In addition, although the Hongqi River project costs a lot, the total construction period is relatively long. We only need to spend 200 billion US dollars a year, which is enough for us. This is not a big pressure for us!"

"While building the Hongqi River project, we can also develop the value of the land along its banks, allowing us to pay back a little bit."

"This is the real western development. Once XZ and XJ become fertile soil, it will affect the surrounding countries, drive the economic development of the surrounding areas, and greatly increase the value of the land. Just relying on the land, we can make a lot of money!"

Zhang Jun talked endlessly, even if everyone had doubts in their hearts, they had to support Zhang Jun's decision.

The meeting lasted for more than four hours, and even lunch was eaten in the meeting room.

After the meeting, Legend Technology established three departments at the fastest speed, which were specially responsible for desert greenhouse technology, water seer technology and Hongqi River project.

The Netherlands is the country with the best greenhouse technology in the world, but their greenhouse technology cannot be copied mechanically. Due to climate, rainfall, light, wind and other reasons, Legend Technology must develop a greenhouse suitable for the local environment.

Therefore, this is a very challenging job for Legendary Technology Company.

However, this does not bother the legendary technology company.

Water seer technology is worthy of research and development. In a short period of time, the Hongqi River project is difficult to complete, so water in desert areas depends on water seer.

Building water seers in the shape of mushroom towers in the vast desert will definitely become the characteristic scenery of the desert and drive the development of local tourism.

……

The leader also held a major meeting the next day, at which Zhang Jun's idea of ​​promoting the "Hongqi River Project" was conveyed.

All the leaders were shocked when they heard this.

Immediately, they all expressed their support. With Zhang Jun's money, the country only needs to spend half of the money to solve the problem of water shortage in the Northwest.

Moreover, once this huge project is launched, the economy of the entire country will be strongly stimulated, and many people's employment problems will be solved.

The big leader didn't expect that this matter would go smoothly unexpectedly and almost got the approval of the whole audience.

That night, Zhang Jun received a call. The other party said that the country agreed to the Hongqi River project, but this project is very large. Before the official construction, it is necessary to send a delegation to conduct on-the-spot investigation and research on this project to see if it is feasible. !
The country has not announced the Hongqi River project to the outside world, precisely because the project has not yet been fully determined. If the project is not feasible, it can only choose to give up in the end.If it was revealed in advance, netizens would be disappointed by then, which would cause some unnecessary riots.

Zhang Jun, of course, fully agrees with the country's decision.

Just during the inspection period, I can make a little more money.

Considering that the epidemic will break out in the next few years, it is necessary to increase investment in the medical field.

At the end of September 2011, Legendary Technology Co., Ltd. conducted Pre-IPO financing. This was the last round of financing before going public. With the size and valuation of "Qunar", it is difficult for any investment company to take it alone. Therefore, this There are many investment companies investing in "Where" this time, in addition to Softbank, Sequoia Capital, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, KPCB, DFJ, Carlyle, China International Investment Corporation, GSR Ventures, SZ City Innovation Investment , Morningside Capital, Sinovation Ventures, Legend Capital, GGV Capital, Dachen Caizhi, Matrix Partners China and many other investment companies.

Due to fierce competition, the pre-money valuation of “Qunar” has increased to US$1800 billion!
"Qunar" is a global company, not only in China, so its market value is very high.

This time, the main reason for this financing is that Legendary Technology directly sold 20% of the shares and let these investment companies divide up. "Company $10 billion.Then there is the listing of "Qunar" on Nasdaq. This listing on Nasdaq is the real financing of "Qunar".

The valuation of "Qunar" is 1800 billion US dollars. If 20%, that is 360 billion US dollars, after allocating 10 billion US dollars, the legendary technology company will have 350 billion US dollars left.

This wave of operations allowed Legendary Technology to earn 350 billion US dollars, and all investment companies were jealous when they saw it.

When the news spread outside, there was an uproar in the media and a sensation in the industry, and it quickly became the number one in the hot search list.

Countless people envy and hate.

November 11st is the launch date of "Qunar". For a while, all the people are looking forward to this day.

Time passed little by little, and on November 11st, major media around the world were tracking and reporting on the listing of “Qunar”.

On the Internet, it is even more lively. Countless netizens have speculated about the stock price of "Qunar" and how high the market value has risen!
The opening time for the Nasdaq is approaching.

On the wall, the big screen is counting down.

10、9、8……4、3、2、1、0。

Li Fuzhen, the CEO of "Qunar", was full of excitement and high spirits. Holding a small hammer in his slender hand, he symbolically knocked on a copper bell, which meant that "Qunar" was officially listed.

Many people in the audience were full of envy for Li Fuzhen.

"Samsung princess left Samsung and gave up the competition for the inheritance of family property. Many people thought she was nothing, but they didn't expect that she would become the CEO of Qunar.Judging from the prospectus, Li Fuzhen owns 3.5% of the shares of "Qunar". If the stock price of "Qunar" exceeds 2000 billion US dollars today, then Li Fuzhen's worth is as high as 70 billion US dollars, not much worse than her father Li Jianxi.And she also owns a part of the shares in Samsung Electronics, my God, her worth is not higher than that of Li Jianxi..."

Everyone is not surprised whether the market value of "Qunar" can break through 2000 billion US dollars. If it can't, it's strange!
But at this time, Samsung was affected by the legendary technology company, and many of its products lost in the international competition. Compared with the previous life, the value of Samsung Chairman Li Jianxi has shrunk significantly, which is only 80 billion U.S. dollars.Therefore, many people think that Li Fuzhen may be worth more than her father.

As soon as the stock market opened, the share price of "Qunar" soared.

"I missed Uber before, and I will never miss it again this time! Qunar will definitely go up! ! "

""Qunar" occupies a dominant position in the fields of food delivery, travel hotels, and group sharing social e-commerce. It has great potential for future development and must be bought! "

Major investment institutions hope that the stock price of "Qunar" will be higher than that of Hao, and they have secretly promoted the soaring of "Qunar" stock price.

By the time the stock market closed in the afternoon, the market value of “Qunar” had risen to 2540 billion US dollars, creating the largest IPO history in history.

Countless stockholders and investment institutions can't help but revel in it!
