Chapter 245: Inquire
After planting the jujube tree, watering it after watering it. In just a week, the jujube tree began to sprout and grew tender green leaves.
Lin Tao has not left during this period and has to check the situation of the jujube tree every day.
The same goes for other members of the cooperative.
Thousands of jujube seedlings left behind are also replanted one after another. After all, the survival rate of seedlings cannot reach 100%.
What made Lin Tao laugh and cry was that in some places, the jujube seedlings were obviously alive, and the members of the cooperative would plant another seedling. When he asked, the other party was confident and said, "It's too rare, the seedlings are a little dense!"
Once you plant it, you will plant it. Anyway, you don’t plan to sell this seedling. If you really waste it in the end, it’s better to plant it in the ground.
Just keep a certain spacing.
People who bought the seedlings also came to see them from time to time and followed them. Lin Tao answered their questions without getting tired of them. Fortunately, these questions were relatively simple and Lin Tao could answer them.
Half a month later, the jujube seedlings had basically sprouted and most of them had bloomed. At this time, Lin Tao also came here twice and gave some suggestions on flower protection and fertilization and field management. The members of the cooperative listened very seriously, and Lin Tao finally relaxed.
After this period of busyness, Lin Tao suddenly felt that his stall was too big, and it didn't seem like it was a good thing.
When he was in Kazakhstan, the land contracted by Zhaosu could be sown. Lin Tao really couldn't return to the country, so he had to entrust people there to help sow the seeds. Otherwise, even if others give favors to others, the annual contract fee would be hundreds of thousands, which would be a pity to throw it out in vain.
The rapeseed is sown, which is an important part of Lin Tao’s next plan.
The matter of jujube tree came to an end. Lin Tao took a breath. Zhang Hongyuan and Zhu Wenqiang made an appointment to drink, so Lin Tao went there.
It was still in Phoenix Tower, and the boss was used to it and had already prepared a private room.
Zhang Hongyuan is in a good mood recently and the project is progressing smoothly. Although the expansion of Lin Tao's two factories only costs money, because it is built in the development zone, due to the butterfly effect, several more investors have come to the development zone. Seeing that the electric tricycle factory is well built, these investors directly contacted Zhang Hongyuan's engineering team. The two small projects were also making a small profit, which made Zhang Hongyuan's engineering team famous a lot. There are even companies in Shicheng who also inquire about this engineering team.
He came the earliest, followed by Zhu Wenqiang, but Lin Tao came the latest.
Seeing Lin Tao coming, Zhang Hongyuan smiled and asked, "Xiaolin, how are your jujube tree planted? Can you eat the dates you planted this year? If possible, then I will wait! I have many friends in the mainland and ask me to buy a lot of dates every year. If your dates are good this year, then I will point at you."
Lin Tao smiled and said, "No problem."
After two lifetimes, he naturally knew that the feeling of drying the dates he picked was different from the feeling of the red dates he bought outside.
In the last life, Lin Tao went to the jujube orchard to pick dates by himself. He picked more than ten kilograms. He went back to dry in the house and put them away. He ate them until the next year, and the dates were still soft.
The red dates sold outside are not just picked from the jujube trees. You should know that there are thorns on the jujube trees, so picking them takes time. Therefore, many date farmers directly knock the dates on the jujube trees on the ground, then sweep up the dates falling on the ground, clean the fallen leaves, and then pile them on the ground to dry them - or even dry them directly. This quality is naturally not as good as those that are dried at home.
Zhu Wenqiang also admired Lin Tao's ability to make trouble, and said with a smile, "Make some for me then. I can't plant dates in the wasteland now, so I have to plant cotton. But it is very rare to plant dates in northern Xinjiang. I will give it to the city leaders at the same time and I will give it to the city leaders to try it as borrowing flowers to offer Buddha."
Lin Tao naturally couldn't disagree with this little thing. He smiled and said, "No problem. You can just come and pull it! By the way, Brother Zhu, is it cotton planted on your farm this year?"
"Yes!" Zhu Wenqiang sighed; "This kind of wasteland can only be planted in a short time. My plan is to plant cotton for another year or two, and the improvements in the places are almost done, so I will plant other things. Actually, I also think that I should plant some wolfberry on a small area, after all, that thing can also adapt to salt and alkali.
It’s just that the sales are not easy to find.”
Lin Tao nodded. It is not the future generations. Online sales have not yet started yet. Although China has online payments, agricultural products will be available for a long time to go online. Now, eBay is becoming popular, and no longer visible in the future generations.
"By the way, Xiaolin, what exactly are you doing in Kazakhstan?" Zhang Hongyuan knew that Lin Tao had been to Kazakhstan for two months, and he was not sure what he was doing. This party was actually because of inquiry.
Lin Tao smiled and said, "I'm going to mine."
"Mining?" Zhu Wenqiang knew that Lin Tao originally wanted to do oil, but he didn't expect that it would be mine now. He frowned and asked, "Is oil easy to do?"
Lin Tao nodded and said, "The competition for oil and energy is very fierce now. There are many large foreign companies in Kazakhstan investing in oil fields. People like us are really not competitive. It just so happens that there is a chromium ore in my partner's hometown, so I went to check it out and found that the grade and reserves are good, so I invested. Now I can transport more than 10,000 tons of chromium ore in China every month."
Zhang Hongyuan asked about the lack of minerals and said, "Chromium ore is transported directly back to China? Is it easy to sell?"
Before Lin Tao could speak, Zhu Wenqiang understood. He smiled and said, "Sell? This thing is all about to be sought! Our country has few chromium ore, and the domestic demand is very large!" He picked up a stainless steel spoon and said, "This thing is coated with a layer of chromium. Stainless steel is the alloy of this thing and steel. If you think about it, you should know how much demand is in the domestic market! This is a market with a total of more than 100 billion yuan! If you can get even a little share in this market, then you will be given."
After Zhu Wenqiang finished explaining, he turned around and asked Lin Tao, "How big is your reserves? It is said that the reserves of chromium ore in Kazakhstan are very large, your..."
"Fourty million tons." Lin Tao did not intend to conceal this, "this is what has been explored at present. Because the mining capacity is not strong now, he has not continued to explore."
Zhu Wenqiang gave a thumbs up, "Awesome! Just this mine, don't do anything else, you will soon become a billionaire!"
Although Zhang Hongyuan didn't know the mine, he was good at doing business. He interrupted and asked, "How much does a ton of chromium ore cost? By the way, Xiaolin, how much did you invest in total?"
"The investment is more than 10 million." Lin Tao calculated roughly. "Now, an ton of chrome ore with a grade of more than 48 is about 150 US dollars, which is about 1,200 yuan. I sold it to Jiefang Steel Factory at a general price."
"Will you take back the investment in one month?" Zhang Hongyuan opened his mouth wide, "Even if you add investment, will you make a profit in two or three months? This is too profitable, right?"
