Galactic Tech Empire

Chapter 83 Vertical Farming
On May 2017, 5, the world's first optical quantum computer that surpassed early classical computers was born in Dongtang.

At the same time, the Federal Reserve announced an interest rate hike.

The other is the presidential election in Gaul. Macron, who married a teacher, was successfully elected as the president of Gaul.

……

Huang Haojie was busy in various research institutes of Galaxy Technology, while paying attention to the situation of various enterprises in the galaxy.

If Galaxy Technology relied on Raytheon Group to make profits last year, then other companies have also begun to make profits or break even this year.

The Paper Group benefited from the listing of The Paper, and The Paper also received extraordinary orders.

The orders of surging motors are mainly from CRRC’s orders for self-generating coatings on silicon steel sheets. In addition, auto companies such as Biyadi, Geely, Chang’an, Jianghuai, and Jinlong have also placed a large number of orders for self-generating coatings on silicon steel sheets. .

Lifan even purchased 1 surging [-] motors directly.

In addition, the four real estates of the planetary infrastructure company have also been built. Of the four real estates here, two are for Yinhe Technology's own employees, and the rest are for external sales.

Although you don't earn much per square meter, you can make small profits but sell more.

However, in order to suppress real estate speculation, there are restrictions on the purchase of houses by Planetary Infrastructure.

That is, those who have real estate under their name cannot buy it. Each person is limited to one set. The house cannot be transferred within ten years. If money is urgently needed, it can be repurchased by Planet Company according to the useful life and depreciation.

These are all required to sign a contract agreement. If the private sale is discovered, Planetary Company will use the breach as an excuse to force depreciation to buy back the property.

Huang Haojie's purpose is to suppress the housing prices in Shanmei. If these speculators are allowed to stir up trouble, it will be of no benefit to the people of Shanmei.

Shanmei officials also had to cooperate to suppress real estate speculation.

After all, real estate speculators have speculated Shanmei's houses into the sky. When Huang Haojie gets angry, he will directly learn to move away for the company, and that will be called dredging.

If this happens, it will definitely be a fatal blow to Shanmei.

After all, now half of Shantou's economy is in Yinhe Technology, and this proportion has become larger and larger.

Another large group of Shanmei, Xinli, is transferring part of its factories to Huicheng.

In addition, Truly is engaged in electronic contract manufacturing. As the international economic situation worsens this year, their electronic factory has experienced layoffs and underutilization.

Shanmei officials are now paying more and more attention to Galaxy Technology, and Huang Haojie's every move will even have a huge impact on Shanmei and even Lingnan.

So Shanmei officials had to take action to suppress real estate speculation.

After all, it doesn’t matter if real estate speculation will increase the economy to one trillion yuan. Can real estate speculation also increase employment? Or can it increase residents’ income?
Obviously, the real estate speculators are nothing more than chicken feathers to the end.

Just look at how many empty cities Dongtang has.

……

The three provinces of Zhuge handed over an agricultural development strategy report to Huang Haojie.

Huang Haojie flipped over.

"Zhuge, why are you interested in vertical farming?"

"Mr. Huang, in fact, vertical farming has a very huge advantage for Galaxy Technology." Zhuge Sansheng replied confidently.

"You mean the cost of electricity!" Huang Haojie knew the key when he thought about it.

The wind power generation cost of Yinhe Technology in the eastern part of Lingnan will continue to decline over time.

Especially once the investment cost is recovered, the cost per kilowatt-hour will drop to between 0.1 and 0.2 Wah.

This means that the electricity cost of vertical farming will drop by four to six times, while vertical farming generally consumes about five to seven times more electricity than conventional farms.

The electricity cost of Yinhe Technology has directly smoothed the gap between vertical farming and traditional farms.

"That's right, our power generation costs will decrease year by year, which means our electricity costs will be about 15-25% of others."

"In addition, we have our own construction company. We initially estimate that the construction cost of the vertical farming building is about 5000 yuan per square meter."

With the analysis of Zhuge Sansheng, Huang Haojie felt that this vertical farming can be played.

The pros and cons of vertical farming have long been apparent.

Pros: Can produce very consistent quality products because all environmental factors are fixed.

The entire facility can be placed in the center of the city, on the roof, etc., to avoid the loss caused by logistics and transportation.It can also be placed on ocean-going ships, drilling platforms, and aircraft carriers to provide fresh vegetables.

The cultivation density is very high, and a fairly high degree of mechanization and automation can be realized.

The disadvantages are also obvious: lighting, climate control (mainly refrigeration, dehumidification) electricity costs are extremely high, and it is difficult to be economically feasible.

At present, the light intensity provided by LED technology is not enough to support many crops, such as tomato, cucumber and so on.

Compared with natural light, the produced products have less flavor, and a lot of research is currently focusing on this issue.

The upfront investment is quite large.

Organic production is currently difficult to achieve, and organic fertilizers can easily clog irrigation and drainage systems.

However, Galaxy Technology has a way to lower the cost of electricity and buildings, and other problems will not be too big.

As for the flavor issue, the big deal is that it cannot be sold, and it can be directly fed to pigs or planted with oil crops.

After two days of careful study.

So they summoned Li Jianhua, Zhuge Sansheng, and the president of Star Company, Pang Yi.

"Old Li, I have decided to establish Fengdu Agricultural Group to vigorously develop vertical farming. This is the plan."

Li Jianhua quickly took it over to take a look, and he was immediately taken aback by Huang Junjie's generosity.

Because Fengdu Group not only develops vertical farming, but also enters the agricultural field in an all-round way.

Including agricultural equipment, pesticides and fertilizers, seed cultivation, artificial light sources, cold chain transportation, food processing, catering and retail.

"Companies that can be acquired should be acquired as soon as possible. We want to control all aspects so that the cost will not be inflated."

"No problem." Li Jianhua could only nod in response.

"In addition, Dayi Your Planet Company has also been reorganized into Planet Group, which can acquire steel factories, cement factories, tile factories, etc., and produce these things by ourselves, which can keep costs down."

"Okay, boss." Pang Dayi was very happy. After all, the establishment of Planetary Group meant that his level had been raised.

"Zhuge, your research institute cooperates with Fengdu Group and Planet Group to complete the entire industrial chain."

"Yes." Zhuge Sansheng nodded.

……

Following Huang Haojie's decision.

The Yinhe Science and Technology Business Management Department suddenly became busy.

People from the Social Research Institute are analyzing which parts need to be controlled and which parts can be outsourced.The part that needs to be controlled is the size of the companies to be controlled, whether these companies exist in the country, and how much money they need to consume.

Since May, the business management department of Yinhe Technology has joined forces with the Social Research Institute to buy, buy and buy all over the country.

Galaxy Technology official website.

"What's going on? Why does Galaxy Technology acquire so many agricultural companies?" - The Martian
"Our Mr. Huang may be tired of industry, and wants to play farming and raising pigs." - Suspected Car Without Evidence

"I just discovered that there are many more affiliated groups of Galaxy Technology." - Li Yuanfang
"@李元芳, you just found out." - Di Renjie
"Supernova Industry and Fengdu Agricultural Group have been added, but when was this Supernova Industry established, why is there no news at all?" —Meow Starman
"@喵星人, Supernova Industry is located in Xi'an, Qin Province. It seems to be a military industry with a high level of secrecy. Don't ask me how I know, because I live opposite." —Wang Xingren
"Why do I feel that this Fengdu Agricultural Group has too many subsidiaries." - It's all the society's fault

"Now the bosses, why are they all mavericks? Huang Haojie who farms and raises pigs." —I don’t know his wife

"@不知妻美，不知妻美Liu Jingdong, regretted creating Ali Jack Ma; Wang Wanda, who has nothing, is an ordinary family twist; Peking University is okay, Sa Beining, and Tsinghua's admission ruins his life." ——Small Goal
In fact, Fengdu Agricultural Group has indeed made a big move, establishing eight subsidiaries through mergers and acquisitions.

A subsidiary responsible for the production of fertilizers, pesticides, culture fluids, etc., Rich Chemical Company.

Fengdu Agricultural Machinery Co., Ltd. is in charge of producing and developing agricultural equipment; Xinguang Co., Ltd. is in charge of producing and developing LED artificial light sources; Xiandao Co., Ltd. is in charge of cold chain logistics and warehousing; Yuanmei Co., Ltd. is in charge of food processing;

Then there are Fengdu Vertical Agriculture Company and Fengdu Animal Husbandry Company.

Obviously, the big move of Galaxy Technology is confusing.
