499 Huge benefits. Cost cabbage price

"Boss, this area has a superior geographical location and very good terrain. It is used to build a mechanized farm, which is very suitable for..."

"Boss, the land here is fertile and the climate is good. Look at the potatoes we planted outside the camp, which are growing well, but they are not using any fertilizer..."

"Boss, we have designed the entire plan and made a budget, so the investment will not be too large..."

Seeing that Xie Kai wanted to change the place, everyone naturally refused.

In this area, geographical conditions are indeed a very superior place for them.

"Please be quiet!" Xie Kai pressed his hands and stopped the discussion in the tent. "I understand everyone's thoughts very much. This is not in China, but in Africa. As long as it is not a desert, the land is indeed fertile..."

"This is not to grow grain in our country, not to make our people full. We are enterprises, and we are considering the issue of how much investment and profit, how much time can we invest to recover, and how much profit will be every year..." Xie Kai said while organizing the language.

Africa is rich in land, but Africa is the most food-deficient place in the world, and a large number of people are in a state of inability to eat.

There are reasons for climate and geographical location; frequent wars that make people unable to plant crops with peace of mind; there are reasons for backward agricultural planting technology; there are reasons for abundant supplies and lazy blacks who do not need too much labor to fill their stomachs...

But Xie Kai needs his investment to be recovered quickly and also create profits.

"Boss, we have made a budget. In the early stage, including the construction of water conservancy projects and various equipment for land reclamation, we need to invest about 160 million yuan. It only takes a year to reclaim the plains..." A thin middle-aged man wearing glasses and wearing a white shirt stood up and said.

"How long can there be output? Isn't this hundreds of millions of funds not money?" Xie Kai knew that professional questions should be handed over to experts. "If it were replaced by a place where there was no need to build too many water conservancy projects and the natural conditions were better, how much would it be invested?"

What he thought was not to cultivate even the mountains as in China, but to just plains.

"Along the way, I saw that there were indeed plains around me, but no crops were planted. They were twice a year, and each dry season lasted for three months..." What Xie Kai regretted the most now is why he didn't think seriously at the beginning.

Originally, it was just to build a camp for mercenaries, but the project became bigger and bigger.

It was not that he hadn't thought about it, but that the level of Lake Tanganika was much lower than the land they had obtained.

The investment in water conservancy projects alone will cost tens of millions.

Xie Kai naturally didn't want to get the funds here.

"Boss, we have another plan, which can not pump water from Lake Tanganika, and the project cost will be much lower. Construction machinery transported in China can continue to build various water conservancy irrigation projects after the farmland is reclaimed..." said the middle-aged man in glasses.

Even though Xie Kai was obviously unwilling to do so, they still did not give up.

This land is definitely worth developing for them.

"Tell me." Even if Xie Kai is unwilling, he cannot stop it directly according to his own ideas, otherwise everyone's enthusiasm for work will be hit.

"Boss, please look at this map. The areas marked with red lines on this are all land assigned to us by the Tanzanian government. In these two places, they are gullies. We have conducted on-site inspections and surveys. If a reservoir is built in these two locations, it only needs to be built to build a dam. In the two rainy seasons, the amount of water in the above area can be completely met. And usually, a large amount of water is needed in the rice seedling cultivation process... During the rainy season, as long as the fields are not problematic, these fields do not need any irrigation, and the water can be stored until harvested..."

Glasses took out a homemade map for Xie Kai to show.

Xie Kai did not conduct on-site inspection of the surrounding terrain. Anyway, this area is much higher than Lake Tangenica, but the area near the lake is not much higher.

"We only plant rice for two seasons, and we are used to grow potatoes or sweet potatoes on the mountain. According to our estimated yield, we can raise thousands of cattle and thousands of sheep every year. Potatoes and sweet potato seedlings can be used to raise cattle and sheep, and potatoes and sweet potatoes are used to make feed, etc...." said another consultant. "The prospect is very big."

In the eyes of Chinese agricultural names, land can be recycled infinitely.

"The weather here is hot, can you grow potatoes?" Xie Kai didn't know about farming, but he still knew some basic common sense.

Potatoes, that is the most common thing in the entire base during winter.

"Just because of the good climate here, we can continue sowing after harvest, and we only need to irrigate during the dry season..." said another consultant. "In addition, various miscellaneous trees can be cut down on the mountain and replaced with tree species to produce fruits. The weather here is hot and difficult to preserve, but it can be produced into canned fruits. That thing is also a rare product in China, and in Africa, it is all high-end things..."

It’s just that this consultant is from a farmer.

Seeing that everyone supported building a farm here, Xie Kai was a little confused for a moment.

I decided to stop the discussion for the time being, go out and have some breath and think about it.

"This place is indeed very suitable for building training grounds. In the direction close to the lake, there are some low mountains. The terrain conditions are complex, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is also the most ideal terrain for special operations..." Liao Dong came back and said to Xie Kai.

Xie Kai looked at him, "Don't Tanzania say that it is providing military camps? That may be a lot less investment."

Now everything has to be spent on money, the problem is that he still has too little money.

"Their military camps? There are only a few barracks in the playground. They were all learned from China, but they failed to become dogs... That thing is, even the militia training grounds in our country are much better than theirs." The rabbit looked contemptuous.

Xie Kai didn't understand when they saw the Tanzanian military camp.

"This place is not far from Kasanga, and it is relatively convenient for mountain training or water training. We lack diving and other training." Liao Dong lit a cigarette. "The Iraqis handed over those weapons and ammunition to the soldiers guarding the station here."

"Let's not care about weapons trading for now. But you may have one more mission at the moment." Xie Kai said to Liao Dong.

Liao Dong and Rabbit both looked at him.

"Training guerrillas, on the one hand, they must make them look like regular troops, and on the other hand, they must teach them guerrilla warfare. In addition, when the domestic team members arrive, there will be another task. We will send twenty people to form a 100-man military advisory team with the Soviets and Iraqis to Angola..." Since this is said, Xie Kai will not hide it, "Whether you want to take on this task, please consider it."

Liao Dong didn't expect that he had a business as soon as he arrived here, and he worked together with the Soviets and Iraqis.

For them, other mercenaries were never more reliable than brothers who had been born and died with them, so they did not reply to Xie Kai immediately.

That night, on the East African grassland, there were no electric lights and only a few bonfires. What Xie Kai did not expect was that Luo Feng and others actually went out to hunt with the mercenaries, and they gathered two African antelope, some hares and other things, and were excitedly roasting them on the bonfire.

Have a lot of fun.

Xie Kai sighed, when the Chinese are coming, the fate of wild animals on the East African prairie will change, don’t be eaten and extinct...

After sighing, he took a piece of grilled antelope without any care, while sitting next to a bonfire with his consultants, continuing to talk about what he had not finished in the afternoon.

Since Liao Dong also thinks this is good, then let’s listen to the opinions of the consultants of the agricultural company.

"Boss, you give farmers like us such high wages, which is better than the treatment of state cadres. We must consider the interests of our boss. This place is indeed very suitable for growing grain. Even if we do not do any water conservancy irrigation facilities and grow corn every year, we can still harvest for two seasons..." said a consultant with a dry tobacco pole in his mouth and his face full of folds.

They have no awareness of working for the organization, after all, they can be clearly stated from the beginning that they work for private workers.

"It really works? What if I only invest 50 million in the early stage?" Xie Kai thought about it. It is not a big deal to invest too much. 50 million will be less than 20 million US dollars, so it should not be a big problem.

Leave professional matters to professionals.

There is no problem with industrial matters, especially various industries related to military industry, which is even more difficult.

Xie Kai, who can even plant some flowers, can die. Not to mention agriculture.

Listen to your opinion, even if the cost is higher, it’s okay to not lose money.

"Boss, we can gradually build. As long as the construction machinery is in place, the land will be reclaimed during this dry season, and the rainy season will come in two months, we can sow seeds..." said Glasses, who said they would invest more than 100 million yuan at the beginning.

Lu Yang was on the side and didn't interrupt. He spoke now, "Boss, although our investment here is relatively high, we can lower their rent. In this area, the areas with better conditions can be directly cultivated and planted, almost all of which are controlled by several state-owned agricultural companies in Tanzania. Or there are many small farmers..."

"How much do they want for rent?" Xie Kai asked.
