Chapter 808 Green Peace
Graphene separators and films are all produced from factories in the Singama Special Zone, and those with higher technological content are directly passed through industrial-grade 3 printers.
In this way, we have been busy until the beginning of July, half of the 400,000 mu of seabed planting area has been developed, and tens of thousands of seabed planting units have been laid flat on the seabed at a water depth of about 100 meters. Through the thin and strong graphene film, one can see the rows of emerald green plants in the cultivation tank, growing vigorously under the faint light source.
There are a total of ten offshore platforms distributed in this sea area, and each platform has twelve staff members and two Star Ring Trade bodyguards who are responsible for security work. Each offshore platform has to manage thousands of planting units, which may seem a bit of a stretch, but it is not.
A series of tasks such as watering, fertilizing, seeding, soil replacement in cultivation tanks, etc., can be automatically completed by the planting unit. Only in a small number of emergencies do the staff need to drive the submersible into the water.
The surrounding waters become an oxygen-rich environment for event fish to grow due to the oxygen emitted by these planting units. In order not to waste such an excellent fishing ground, Jiang Chen planned the upper part of this planting area as a sea fishing ground, and built a floating breeding base to raise sardines, salmon, cod, and lobsters, which are common in the seafood market. By-products such as fish oil.
Because of the oxygen-enriched environment, the growth rate of these fry is much faster than that of wild stocking, the meat quality will be more delicious, and it is easier to accumulate fat.
In addition, the feces of these fish schools can also be collected by special equipment and used as natural organic fertilizer!
Farms and fisheries complement each other, which is what is called circular agriculture.
As soon as mid-August this year, you will be able to see local vegetables in Xinguo at the farmers' markets in Xinguo. And by the end of this year at the latest, the new country's grain market will reverse its zero-export situation, transforming from a major grain importer to a granary in the Pacific Ocean!
Does Cargill not sell farms?
Laugh, I am not rare, my lord!
However, for such a situation, Australia's n company is not so happy to see it.
The only Asian competitors of N, which has monopolized the entire Australian rice market and most of the agricultural product market, are Thailand and Vietnam. However, a new sea farmer has emerged to grow vegetables on the seabed, which is obviously not a good start.
Originally, they were quite optimistic about Xinguo's farm product market. After all, Xinguo's arable land area is completely out of proportion to its population, and its ability to resist shocks against price fluctuations in the global grain market is almost zero. The surprising way of getting rid of the dependence on Australian agricultural products is really hard for the senior management of n company to accept.
At the same time when New Hainong announced the construction of a fishing ground above the undersea farm and the implementation of "three-dimensional agriculture", the American Cargill Corporation held a board meeting to discuss the countermeasures for the changes in the Asian farmer's market.
From the beginning of the meeting, there was endless debate on the conference table. The shareholders of Cargill in the United States are very numerous. Although there are only one or two real decision-makers, this kind of meeting cannot exclude those qualified shareholders.
"It's not just an undersea farm, I heard they plan to build an undersea ranch!"
"This group of monkeys breaking coconuts on the island, are they planning to turn the entire shallow sea in the Western Pacific into arable land?"
"We have to find a way to stop them!"
"But Xinguo is a country, we can't convince Congress to interfere with them, can we?"
"What resources are available to us?"
"USDA? Not enough levels!"
"Use dumping! We can overwhelm their subsea farms with low-priced grain!" A shareholder slammed his knuckles on the table loudly.
"It's hard! If the Future Group is determined to enter the agricultural market, they won't care about losing this little money! With their financial strength and influence, they are at least at the same level as the Boston Consortium."
At this point in the meeting, there was an unexpected silence.
Yes, after all, the Future Group is at the same level as the Boston consortium. Although the four major companies all have the shadow of the consortium behind the investment, Cargill in the United States is a privatized company, and its main assets are also in Asia. The interest relationship between them is not so close, and the market value is only between 400 and 500 billion US dollars.
Isn't it a good thing to fight a price war with the future group with a market value of more than hundreds of billions?
Even if they are high-tech, the market value is somewhat inflated, but no bank is willing to reject such a big account if they take out some assets casually as collateral. Unless the U.S. government thinks it is necessary to take action, they will have no choice but to go to the Future Group by themselves, which is simply asking for fun.
Cargill leaned on the table with his arm, and repeatedly rubbed his sore brow with his fingers.
If I had known the result now, Nima would have sold the 400,000-acre farm in the first place! Anyway, there is no fertile land in the north of Australia, and the fertile land is concentrated in the east and south. Now, if Xinguo enters the grain market, their market share in Asia will have to be cut off again.
Undersea farm?
The territorial sea area of Xinguo is really scary, and the area of cultivated land on the seabed leaves too much room for people's imagination.
"Yesterday morning, we received a notice from the United Nations Marine Conservation Organization. Greenpeace sued us, arguing that our projects on the seabed have seriously damaged the ecological environment of the Pacific Ocean. Professors from the School of Biological Studies at Columbia University supported this view, claiming that according to The mathematical model he established analyzed that the 400,000 mu of subsea cultivated land may completely change the living habits of local fish schools, thereby triggering a large-scale marine ecological disaster."
"In addition, Greenpeace held a parade at the gate of the New Zealand embassy in California, USA, holding a documentary on marine protection to protest the new government's defiance of nature."
In the presidential palace, Zhang Yaping faced the secretary's report with a headache.
"How did Greenpeace come up with another Greenpeace?"
Greenpeace started out as a civil rights organization for the purpose of opposing nuclear tests during the Cold War, but now it has evolved from non-violent to a model of anti-civilization organizations. As for why? In their eyes, all industries, from chemistry to genetic modification, are "devil's elements". From Apple computers to tuna cans and mineral water bottles, all useless things that are poisonous and harmful for thousands of years must be eliminated.
Being entangled by these people will cause headaches for any country or organization.
Compared with the little-known Blue Dolphin International Organization that once entangled the Future Group, this Greenpeace undoubtedly needs to be organized and much more difficult to deal with. Now Greenpeace has learned the lessons of the "predecessors", bypassing the hard bone of the Future People Group, and directly exerting pressure on the new government.
Although it is not painful or itchy, it is always a trouble!
"This group of Holy Mothers who are full and have nothing to do, don't they know that there are still people who are hungry in this world?" Zhang Yaping slammed the document angrily, throwing the document on the table.
In fact, what he really wants to scold is Jiang Chen, every time he does something, he has to wipe his ass.
After calming down, Zhang Yaping said to the secretary.
"Bring in my chief of staff. We need to have a meeting in our party on this matter."
"Yes!" To be continued. ..
