The strongest peasant city

Chapter 459
"In that case, Xiaogang, I'm sorry. Although the Taklamakan is a barren land, it is also part of the sacred territory of our country. How can it be exchanged for money? If we really do this, not only will we Promise that even the people will not forgive us! Stop thinking of it!"

The prime minister said with a businesslike look.

Li Xiaogang smiled helplessly and said: "Okay, since you all must know, then I might as well talk about it! But after I say it, if any of you call me a lunatic, then I will not agree!"

The Prime Minister laughed and said, "No one will call you a lunatic, just say what you have!"

Li Xiaogang sorted out his thoughts and said: "That's it! Now our Institute of Agricultural Sciences is launching a big project, the topic is called——Desert into fertile land. Just imagine, on the endless desert, there are suddenly neat, uniform, green fields. What a spectacular sight the crops would be..."

Li Xiaogang stopped suddenly, because he found that the three people looked at him a little differently.

Li Xiaogang smiled wryly and said: "Look, I knew you would have such a look!"

The leader hastily coughed a few times to cover up his embarrassment, and finally couldn't help but said, "Are you sure you're not joking?"

Li Xiaogang said angrily: "I'm not a person who likes to joke! This is indeed our ongoing plan, it's up to you whether you support it or not!"

"Xiao Gang, are you really sure? You have to know that this desert is expanding every day, and its man-eating territory is like a sword hanging over our heads. No one knows when it will Cut it off! It’s not that we all don’t believe you, but that we’ve been tortured by this desertification problem for too long, and we’ve been hoping for a solution all the time, but when the solution suddenly appears, we’ll inevitably have some doubts in our hearts! This is also human nature, I believe you can understand, right?" Lin Chaoran said.

Li Xiaogang nodded and said, "Understood! Don't worry, I'm at least [-]% sure that I will succeed."

"Seventy percent!?" The leader and the prime minister shouted out in surprise at the same time, and the prime minister smiled excitedly: "Great! No desert control expert has ever said that he is [-]% sure that he can conquer the desert. It seems that you The research has almost entered the final stage! This is great, the deserts in our country account for more than one-sixth of the country's land, if it can be managed well, it will undoubtedly increase the habitable territory by one-sixth , people's living environment can be greatly improved..."

"Wait, wait!"

Li Xiaogang interrupted the Prime Minister's excitement and said: "But the problem is, that is the sacred territory of our country, it seems that it can't be sold to me! If you can't sell it to me, I can't manage it. Now it seems that everything is just It's just a dream!"

The Prime Minister smiled and said: "My boy, are you making fun of me? You can't trouble me. The territory of the motherland is sacred and inviolable, and it cannot be used for trading. This is an ironclad principle. Even if you can The same is true for turning the desert into an El Dorado. However, people always come up with a solution! Although it cannot be sold to you, the country can lease it to you. The lease period is tentatively set for 100 years, and the lease can be renewed later, so you are satisfied. Bar?"

Li Xiaogang laughed loudly, and said to the Prime Minister: "I am really convinced! The Prime Minister is the Prime Minister, and there are always more ways than others! That's the deal."

Speaking of which, Li Xiaogang pointed to a map of Huaxia on the wall, drew a circle the size of a fist on the Taklamakan, and said, "I want this part, about 20 square kilometers, it should be fine, right?" The Prime Minister smiled and said, "What's the problem? We wish you could rent out the entire Taklamakan Desert and return us a big oasis in 100 years! Hehe..." Li Xiaogang said: "It's still in the experimental stage. If not, not to mention the entire Taklamakan, I will take over all the other deserts in our country!"

"Xiao Gang, are you really so confident? This is not a joke!"

Lin Chaoran still looked at Li Xiaogang worriedly and said.

"To govern the desert, the first requirement is water! But I want to remind you that the hydrological conditions of Taklamakan are the worst even among many deserts, and it has no advantage over the Sahara, unless you don't need to drink Water crops, otherwise I think you will definitely lose!"

"In my opinion, water is the easiest problem to solve, and the constant wind and sand in the desert is my biggest headache. But don't worry, I, Li Xiaogang, can do what I say, and I will never let you down Exactly!" Li Xiaogang said seriously.

"Hey, I don't know how to persuade you. Although everything you do is out of line, the final result is always happy and jaw-dropping! Well, I hope you will surprise us again! "

Lin Chaoran said to Li Xiaogang helplessly.

Li Xiaogang nodded at Lin Chaoran, and then said to the leader and the prime minister: "Then can we talk about the rent issue now? 20 square kilometers of land, leased for 100 years, how much rent do you think I should pay? But , before you bring it up, I want to remind you that this is a desert, a barren desert, you don't want to kill me!"

Seeing Li Xiaogang's nervous appearance, the leader smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, we are very reasonable! So, why do we have to make a one-shot deal? Why don't we cooperate once, and the land of 20 square kilometers will be regarded as How about the government's investment in you?"

Li Xiaogang looked at the leader and the prime minister cautiously and said, "You... what kind of tricks are you going to play?"

The Prime Minister smiled wryly and said: "Xiao Gang, what are you doing! Anyway, we can be your grandfather now. You don't need to guard against us like thieves, do you? You must know that we really want to be with you Cooperation, I want to promote your take-off..."

"Okay, okay, I understand everything, the two grandpas just need to clarify the meaning of investment!"

Li Xiaogang interrupted the Prime Minister's words with a wry smile, and said directly.

Li Xiaogang was straightforward, and the Prime Minister was also very straightforward, and said with a smile: "In this way, the 20 square kilometers count as our investment in your project in the desert, and I think it will account for 20.00% of the shares!"

Li Xiaogang was stunned and said, "That is to say, you will get 20.00% of my profit in the desert every year?"

The prime minister nodded and said, "It's fair, right?"

Li Xiaogang looked at the two cunning old men with some annoyance, and said, "20.00%! You are really greedy! Do you know what I am going to do in the desert? Do you know how much my annual income will be? "

The prime minister and the leader each shrugged their shoulders and said, "How do we know this? Your project hasn't started yet! However, don't worry that we will suffer losses. Even if you don't make any money, we won't embarrass you. After all You also called us grandpa." Li Xiaogang was a little dumbfounded, and said, "I'm afraid I will suffer a loss! After the 20 square kilometers of desert is successfully controlled, it will be 20 square kilometers of fertile land. It is conservatively estimated that the value of food produced each year will exceed [-] billion.

And this batch of grain is mostly used to export to Iraq, so the economic benefits represented by it are even greater, and even have a high political status!Do you know what this 20.00% is?At least several billion.I said, two grandpas, you are too cruel. A small piece of desert where there is no hair and is full of sand and dust all day long, you have to exchange billions or even tens of billions every year. My God, I have never I have never seen anyone who thinks more about businessmen than you! "

The Prime Minister waited until Li Xiaogang had finished venting, then he laughed and said, "Don't be so excited, you think we only invested in the 20 square kilometers of desert, then you are completely wrong!"

"I really hope I'm wrong, but I really can't think of anything else?" Li Xiaogang said with a wry smile.

The Prime Minister smiled and said: "Young people, you can't always focus on the immediate interests. Why do so many big companies rush to cooperate with the government and let the government take advantage of it for nothing? What they value is the power of the government. The authority of the government Sex will save them a lot of trouble and gain a lot of convenience. Compared with these, the 20 square kilometers of desert is nothing at all!"

"Yes, Xiaogang! If you have the participation of the government, then you will be a future desert control hero, but if you don't get the support of the government, you will be a thief in the eyes of many people. You have to think about it." Be clear!" Lin Chaoran also persuaded.

Li Xiaogang shook his head and said: "No matter what, it seems that I have entered the wolf's den today. If I don't throw down a few taels of meat, I won't be able to get out of this door, hehe..."

"Hey, don't say it so harshly, it's your luck to meet a wolf who is as reasonable as us and always considers you!"

The leader waved his hand and smiled.

Li Xiaogang said with a wry smile: "The leader is the leader, and he must pursue fame and fortune in everything, admiration!"

"Okay, that's all for today's business, and it's time for us to get off work! Xiaogang, don't even think about going out safe and sound when you come here today. I've ordered the chef to prepare a sumptuous lunch, and I'll use your unique Longquan fine wine is here to entertain you, we will never get drunk and never return!"

Li Xiaogang said: "I don't care, it's just that the leader and the prime minister are busy with every day, so aren't you afraid of making mistakes?"

The prime minister said: "Our biggest thing today is to treat you well, so you don't have to worry about us." He looked at Lin Chaoran and said, "Old Lin, why don't you go back first?"

Lao Lin was stunned, and said dissatisfiedly: "Don't even think about it! How dare you kick my introducer aside after seeing each other? Let me tell you, I am sure to drink this glass of wine today!"

The Prime Minister smiled and said, "It's not that I don't invite you! I asked you to go back to get a few bottles of the peerless Longquan wine. To be honest, we don't have any in stock here. I heard that you still have a lot..."

Lin Chaoran shook his head like a rattle and said: "How can there be such a reason in the world? Obviously I helped you, but in the end I had to treat you with blood, and there was no way! Besides, everyone was evenly distributed at the beginning. You and the leader took two more bottles than me, if you drink it first, it should be mine, so don't cry poorly here, and play my idea!"
