Section 379 Grain Sharing
Speaking of this batch of weapons and ammunition, Li Cong hadn't thought about it, but the quantity was checked very tightly by the superiors, and he might not have the opportunity to tamper with it. Hongmen, the leader, although Hongmen is now focusing on legitimate business, it is impossible for such a large association to withdraw immediately. Drugs can control the Golden Triangle, and weapons may not be so big. It is definitely not comparable to ordinary small organizations.
Although I can directly ask Asa Martin of the Skull and Bones to order various weapons directly, I believe that there will only be restrictions on some high-end weapons. As for these light weapons, I still have no idea, and this amount may be returned to us. It’s a gift. You must know that the Martin family controls one-fifth of the arms trade in the world. Whether it is open or covert, they have absolute right to speak. Considering the thoughts of the central government, let it go. It's up to Hongmen to make trouble, anyway, the security guards here only need some submachine guns and the like, and they don't want to fight big battles.
As soon as the special commissioner of Dongfeng Group heard that there was such a big order here, he flew over immediately. What he told Li Cong was that this Dongfeng warrior wished that one could kill three Hummers, although Li Cong had heard of it a long time ago. The performance of this car, otherwise the army would not have made such a large-scale purchase. They were all transported to Lanzhou, and the rest had to be driven to the base by these drivers. There are thousands of kilometers of Gobi Desert in between. Send it back, and I will check and pay the final payment if it can be driven to the base, otherwise you should take it back and repair it properly.
Perhaps because he knew his own car better, the special commissioner agreed immediately, and he was also good at being a man. If he hesitated a little at this time, Li Cong probably had to have some ideas. It's getting bigger, and everyone knows that few people pay cash for such a big order now, but energy groups will never default on their debts, so some big companies like to do business with energy groups.
After this incident, Li Cong also changed the wall from a brick structure to a concrete structure, more than doubled the height, and expanded the surrounding defensive circle a lot. Uninterrupted patrols within the range must be ensured that there are 2,000 vehicles moving around the Energy Group base at all times, and with some helicopters, the youngsters must not approach.
The central government is also more concerned with this side. It has designated the area of 30 kilometers around the base as a restricted zone. Anyway, the surrounding area is either desert or wasteland. Paying the money, I am just issuing an approval document. I don’t care what that is, but after the expansion of the restricted area, there will be nearly two million people. The judicial institutions inside must be perfected. The central government has initially decided to build a prefecture-level city here. Energy City is considered a big city in the northwest, but Li Cong is very resistant to this idea. If the country builds a city, what is it here? In the future, if the person in charge of the base here has an opinion with the leader appointed by the government, who should he listen to? Besides, there are so many officials and lords who want to eat themselves, so Li Cong blocked the government's plan when it came to it.
At present, there is a Public Security Bureau in it. As for other departments, it is gone, and it is indeed a bit inconvenient. Li Cong also knows it, but this base will be of great use to him in the future, and the government must not be allowed to infiltrate it. Now The principle is that I will give you what you want, but you can't take care of my affairs, so let's hold on to this stalemate for now, and make plans later.
A month later, Northwest Base.
It's a new planting season, and now the 300 million mu of desert wasteland in the entire base has been sown, and 1.3 million employees have been recruited across the country with an annual salary of 50,000.
On average, each person needs to manage more than 200 mu of land. If it is not fully mechanized, it may not be possible to sow all the seeds in a year.
The government has also seen that Li Cong's plan is feasible, and has already appropriately reduced cultivated land in some places in Shandong, Jiangsu, and Guangdong. When there is more land, the price of land will start to drop, and the price of houses will also start to drop, but this speed is unexpected by the central government. Looking at housing prices in Shandong, the average price used to be about 4,000 yuan, but now it has dropped by as much as 500 yuan in just one month, more than 10%. Well, the government's efforts to control housing prices have not had much effect. Now it's better, and the housing prices have come down by themselves. For some house speculators, this is like a nightmare, but the government will not care about them Life and death, who told you to speculate.
People on the eastern coast can't wait to give up Li Cong. How many people seem to see their new houses from him. This is a fundamental reduction in housing prices. I regretted it, but fortunately I made a lot of money when the real estate was booming, so I was not very afraid of my profit reduction, but I didn't hide my hatred for Li Cong. Their industry was similar to Li Cong's. There is not much connection, so naturally he is not afraid of offending this upstart in the Chinese business world.
Right now, Li Cong doesn't care what these guys think, and his problem has also come. The base has expanded to 300 million mu, and the annual grain output has reached 600 million tons. How to transport these grains has become the biggest problem. It was very reluctant when it was 100 million mu, but now it has been doubled, but the railway has not been doubled. If no solution can be found, Li Cong, who is so happy, will swallow the bitter fruit he planted, that is, build a large number of A large granary is used to store grain, but a large granary with hundreds of millions of tons can be repaired if it is built.
The storage capacity of the northwest base is only 40 million tons. Fortunately, the storage period of energy wheat is relatively long. If the conditions are right, there will be no problem even 30 years. There is no other way but to increase the transportation capacity of the train. The original length of the train is It's long, and now it has to be doubled.
Just when Li Cong announced that he would produce 600 million tons of wheat per year, both Chinese and foreign governments were ready to sign long-term contracts with Li Cong. In the end, the Chinese government ordered 170 million tons of energy wheat per year at a price of 1,000 tons per ton. Five hundred yuan, the major families of the Skull and Bones Order 150 million tons at a price of 16 million yuan, Japan imports 20 million tons at a price of 1750 yuan, South Korea imports 10 million tons at a price of The grain group of the five Central Asian countries jointly imports 20 million tons at a price of 1,700 yuan, Saudi Arabia imports 10 million tons at a price of 1,700 yuan, Rothschild in Europe The German family imported 100 million tons for their group's global sales at a price of 1,650 yuan. Egypt and other African countries purchased 50 million tons at a price of 1,700 yuan. Other countries in the Middle East except Saudi Arabia Order 100 million tons, priced at 1,700 yuan.
