Chapter 837 Super Seed Price!

In the reception room of the Changying Group, Jiang Hongwei and a Central Asian man with his head covered were sitting opposite Lin Dong.Jiang Hongwei pointed to the person next to him and introduced: "This is Namur, the elder of the Taha tribe in Afghanistan. This time I came here to discuss important matters with the country, but their needs are quite special, so I came to you. gone."

Afghanistan?

Because he often chatted with Jiang Hongwei, Lin Dong knew a little about the relationship and policies between China and neighboring countries.

Afghanistan is a very sad country.Because of its geographical location, Afghanistan's geographical location is relatively important. It is located in Central Asia and around China. It plays an important role in Russia's southward movement, China's connection with Europe and Asia, or the restriction of China.

Therefore, in the last century, the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan and fought for almost ten years. Although it was not defeated in the end, and there was a more classic way of fighting helicopters with RPGs in mountains, Afghanistan was also beaten in a mess. .

In this century, the United States sees that China is going to develop and compete with him for the leadership position, so it wants to surround China and occupy Afghanistan.As a result, the Taliban disagreed, and it had something to do with pulling the lamp, so they fought again.

Originally, many people optimistically thought that the United States might also be caught in the ocean of the People’s War in Afghanistan like the former Soviet Union. They did not expect that the advanced combat preparations of the old United States, surprises, money offensives, and mercenaries would finally directly destroy Afghanistan. It's blown away—in effect, it's changed the government of Afghanistan.

But that's not really useful for many birds.Although there are US troops stationed in Afghanistan and old US bases, it is still a bit difficult to use Afghanistan to contain China.

Afghanistan is not a country in the sense that everyone usually knows, and the rule in it is not like the central to local governments that we are familiar with.Many places are managed through religious sects and tribal systems.And many tribes close to Huaxia actually have a good relationship with Huaxia.

It seems that this Namur should be the elder of one of the tribes.

It's just that Lin Dong is wondering, what does this matter at the national level have to do with him?
"I won't tell you anything about the Taha tribe and the country." Jiang Hongwei still has a strong sense of confidentiality, and he said with a smile: "The Taha tribe has a population of about 4, and it is a relatively large The tribe. The tribe is surrounded by deserts, mainly relying on a lapis lazuli vein near the tribe, and planting some drought-resistant food, as well as devil flowers-you should know this, Afghanistan is actually the world controlled by the old US CIA The largest devil flower planting base. Although they don't want to grow it, it is not worthwhile to grow food in some places..."

Lin Dong understands some things without saying anything.In order to survive in the tribe, some things must be done.And in that kind of place, it is impossible for a large tribe to completely rely on Huaxia, at least not on the surface, otherwise, Laomei's plane bombs will definitely come.

"What does Elder Namur mean..." Lin Dong asked suspiciously, "What do we need to do here?"

"I heard that your Changying Group has a Shennong Group, and the Shennong No. [-] crops that have been cultivated are very good. We hope to introduce a batch of seeds." Namur is naturally an old friend of Uncle Tursun.After learning about the specific situation of Shennong-[-] from Tursun, Namur had this plan.He first found his contact person here, and after reporting the situation that needs to be reported this time, he hoped to change the originally planned assistance from China to the seeds of Shennong No. [-].

It's really hard to make decisions in this country, so Jiang Hongwei was sent to bring Namur to find Lin Dong.Of course, the food aid originally promised by the country is still effective. How to convince Lin Dong is Namur's business.

"Shen Nong No. [-]..." Lin Dong had a troubled expression on his face. It wasn't because he was putting on airs. After thinking about it, he told the truth, "Then Elder Muer, it's not that he doesn't want to help you. Jiang brought you here, so he is a friend. But for Shennong, we only started to plant in batches this year, and the harvest is not very much. On the one hand, we have to leave it to our base as seeds for continued research, and on the other hand, we have already cooperated with it. Many western villages and towns signed contracts and sent most of the seeds to them..."

"I know this." Namur could tell that Lin Dong was telling the truth, "I only made this decision when I heard about the availability of this kind of grain from a Uighur farmer's family in your border area. The other elders also hope to get this seed very much, for this seed, we can exchange it with lapis lazuli—how about one kilogram of seed for one kilogram of lapis lazuli?”

"Hiss—!"

Lin Dong didn't move yet, Jiang Hongwei took a deep breath - this Taha tribe is too expensive!
Lapis lazuli is also called lapis lazuli, and there are four main types, lapis lazuli, lapis lazuli, birthstone, and golden wave.The color is based on blue, of course, there are various blues.In ancient China, it was called Jinbi, Diandai or Bi Liuli, and it was classified as jade.And it is one of the seven treasures of Buddhism, the body color of the pharmacist Buddha in Tibetan Buddhism.

Because of its many functions, the price of lapis lazuli has been rising steadily all the way. Even if the original stone is used again, there are still a dozen or tens of dollars per gram, and one kilogram is more than tens of thousands of dollars. This kind of seed is really valuable!

Lin Dong didn't expect that the Taha tribe would pay such a high price, but now he was thinking about another question.

Taha tribe, why are they so familiar?

Seeing Lin Dong stunned for a moment, Namuer was a little anxious. After he confirmed the information and told the other elders in the tribe about it, the elders of the tribe agreed that they must get these seeds.Only by obtaining these seeds can we get rid of foreign threats in terms of food, and the tribe does not need to rely solely on the mineral economy to survive.

One kilogram of lapis lazuli is exchanged for one kilogram of seeds. From Namur's point of view, it is already a very high price.

What does this young man want?
Lin Dong suddenly asked, "How far is your tribe from the border with China?"

"Basically next to each other. But the tribe's residence is still more than 30 kilometers away from the border." Namur said, Jiang Hongwei knew all about it, so there was no need to hide it, but why did Lin Dong ask this?
"Is that lapis lazuli vein of yours on the mountain next to the tribe?" Lin Dong finally caught the piece of information that came out of his mind, and he felt a little pleasantly surprised at this moment: "And your mine is in a cave ?”

"How do you know?" Namur was surprised this time. Jiang Hongwei absolutely didn't know what Lin Dong said. Even in the tribe, only some important people knew.After all, a lapis lazuli vein means a lot of money, if it is completely exposed, there will definitely be many people who want to grab it!If Jiang Hongwei hadn't said that Lin Dong was someone he could trust before he came, I'm afraid that Muer would have drawn out his scimitar at this time!
