this man is not calm

Chapter 441 Combination of Virtual and Real
There is no need to worry too much about long-term plans. Right now, this park is already a large area, enough for you to sweat and realize your inspiration.

Jin Shi brought Mei Xinghong and Jin Feng here to interact with the small animals. The housekeeper Lao Bian came over with a small bag filled with some carrots, corn kernels and vegetables to feed the livestock. Seeing this, little Jin Feng couldn't wait to hold up the food to attract the alpacas and deer to come and eat. He didn't catch the fallen leaves, as they were eaten up by the sheep that came over.

Small animals are very smart. They know that humans have no ill intentions and bring delicious food, so they will come over to please.

Xiao Jinfeng, who was busy and happy, saw the livestock eating with relish. He curiously put the cabbage leaves into his mouth, tasted it, found it not tasty, and spit it out with a frown.

Jin Shang, who was walking over from a distance, saw that everyone was very relaxed, and pushed aside the pet dog that was trying to get close to them.

"How do you feel? After some time, we can tidy it up and maybe sell tickets for people to come in and have fun..."

"You said you were going to build a waste recycling center? There are also intensive animal husbandry and biogas digesters. I'm afraid the smell won't be very good."

"That's true. I can only think about it."

Father Jin Shi’s opinion was correct. The so-called pastoral idyll was actually just an imaginary scene created by city dwellers who had never seen it. Only those who have experienced it can understand how hard the real farmers’ lives are.

Take growing vegetables for example. They won’t grow well without fertilizer, and spraying pesticides is also very uncomfortable. The most difficult thing is when there are frequent floods and droughts. You need to dig ditches and drain water, or carry water to irrigate the fields in the morning and evening. People who are not used to it really can’t stand it.

As for raising livestock, it is not an easy task. Pigs, sheep, and cows are relatively easy to take care of. They need to be fed every meal. Even if they are raised in the countryside, you have to regularly cut grass for pigs to supplement silage. If they encounter a disease, you have to find a veterinarian for injections and prescribe medicine. If one or two pigs die, thousands of dollars will be wasted.

As for chickens, ducks and geese, it is even more difficult. Eagles flying in the sky, badgers and weasels running in the fields, big black fish swimming in the water, etc. may all eat them. If they are raised in a concentrated manner, a sudden weather change or viral infection may result in a total loss.

It is not just a saying that a person with a lot of money doesn't count as a hairy person.

It's hard work and risks, but there are also market fluctuations and middlemen making profits. Farmers without financial resources have no say and naturally can't make much money.

In addition, agricultural and animal husbandry work is not decent and involves a lot of dirt, especially animal husbandry. Even after installing biogas digesters, secondary recycling and comprehensive income generation, there are more troubles.

Especially for this biogas digester, even if the operating procedures are strictly followed and the management is fully closed, it is still inevitable that unpleasant odors will leak out.

Unlike the crude technology promoted in rural areas, there is no embarrassing problem of "stink for ten miles in the wind", but there is still a noticeable odor when you are close.

Look, right in front of me, a calf that was well fed and running around happily in the distance defecated a big pile of poop.

Later, the staff will have to clean it up into the septic tank, and after simple treatment, send it into the biogas tank for fermentation.

"In fact, there are quite a lot of troubles. Fortunately, the people Lao Bian found are versatile and capable of doing things. As for this side... the livestock will grow up and reproduce, and there will be more and more of them. Sheep wool and alpaca wool are very valuable. Deer antlers, deer blood, deer bones, etc. are also bought by many people. They are killed for meat. There is no shortage of buyers for cowhide and sheepskin..."

"Didn't you say that there was pollution left here from the previous factories?"

"It's not just this. Actually... the problem of excessive heavy metals has always existed around large cities. It is inevitable wherever there are many people gathering. That's why I introduced high-yield forage grass and fast-growing bamboo willows. They have strong adsorption capacity, which can alleviate salinization, eliminate excessive nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, avoid eutrophication of water bodies, and effectively decompose heavy metal compounds, using natural cycles to minimize their harm. And..."

Looking at the bamboo willow seedlings in the distance that were less than half a person's height, Jin Shang explained seriously,

"As long as it's not for human consumption, it doesn't matter. There is a final testing process. If it meets the standards, it will be sent to supermarkets and vegetable markets. If it doesn't meet the standards, it will either be made into feed fertilizer or processed into pet food. In short, it will have a place to go."

"You've figured it all out, so I won't say any more."

I pressed Xiao Jinfeng's head. Because his father and brother were talking and ignored him, the little guy was a little unhappy and struggled and twisted, not at all quiet. Then Mei Xinghong took him over.

"From ancient times to the present, the development of the capital has always been along two lines. In the past, it was driven by the Grand Canal, and later the railway became the mainstream. The former is in the southeast, and the latter is in the southwest. Even if it is transported by water, the southern part of Beijing will not be included."

Indeed, in terms of urban planning, southern Beijing is a bit awkward. Even northern Beijing, which was originally far behind, has become a feature in tourism and culture, film and television entertainment, as well as agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery, injecting vitality into local economic development.

Not far to the south, there used to be a dual-use military and civilian airport, which also imposed many restrictions on the surrounding development.

Fortunately, this airport is about to be restructured and relocated, and a super-large comprehensive international airport is being built further to the south, leaving only some helicopter and small and medium-sized business jet take-off and landing lanes. The private jet that Jin Shang delivered last week is stored there, and he hasn't had time to try it yet. Instead, his grandmother, Mrs. Xian, who couldn't wait, used it to fly to western Shanxi to watch the ice flood.

Although local restrictions have been lifted, many old towns in the urban-rural fringe areas are complex and intertwined, making them difficult to develop. In addition, there are many problems left over from some early township factories, small and medium-sized machinery processing, plastic brick and tile factories, etc.

For example, the land under our feet has many riverside mudflats and the soil is not strong enough. If we want to build a skyscraper, we have to dig a very deep foundation, which requires a long period of geological survey in the early stages. In addition, there are all kinds of strange pollution problems.

Primary and secondary schools, kindergartens and nurseries must not be built there and must be kept far away. Hospitals, office buildings and residential areas must also be built with caution. Even if Jin Shang uses this highly efficient biological control method to make improvements, it will probably take five or six years to see noticeable results.

Then there are some practical issues. Although the Beijing South Railway Station is about to open, it is completely different from the Beijing West super-large hub. The other side of the Liangshui River looks like an international metropolis, but here is like a forgotten small town.

In a word, the surrounding areas that took the lead have a serious problem of local siphoning, and even the buses and stations passing through are much fewer than those in the next street.

It is not a remote city, but it is better than a remote city. Even migrant workers rarely come here.

Jin Shang, who studied urban planning for both undergraduate and graduate studies, can tell at a glance that this is a valuable area for the development of the capital, and there is definitely a lot of room for appreciation. The key is, who is willing to be the first to test the waters? If you develop the land under your feet well and the surrounding land appreciates in value, others can just sit back and reap the benefits. Why bother?
Unless, like Jin Shang, you can acquire a large area in one go, or even completely control it, develop it step by step, and when the right time comes, invite capable developers to make money together.

When eating meat, you should also leave a sip of soup for others. It is quite difficult to eat alone.

"My second uncle said he wanted to build a large commercial and residential area based around a shopping center, school, and hospital. I will join in with the land and some funds to build a property company and develop it slowly. There is no rush..." "It will cost a lot of money, right?"

"Fortunately, my cash flow is better than I thought. Computers, game consoles, MP3 players and the like generate a lot of sales, but the costs are also high, and the profit margin is average. We have to rely on selling memberships and online movie and TV songs to make a profit, so we can't expect too much in the short term. However, Xiaolingtong is really profitable. There are more than million users, and the monthly fixed rent is to yuan, plus SMS fees, voice packages, SP services, etc. It's like a business with no capital..."

"Don't talk nonsense. What do you mean by no-cost business? You are just robbing people. Isn't it free to build signal base stations and handheld equipment?..."

"That's what I'm saying. Last year's generous recharge customers have almost used up their benefits this year. Recharge charges are rising steadily, and the monthly net profit has increased by 100 million. I estimate that if this thing is split and listed, it can support a market value of 30 billion."

Don’t be fooled by the fact that the estimated net profit last year was only 600 million to 800 million. That’s because fixed expenses increased significantly. Building base stations and manufacturing PHS systems basically did not make any money. It was purely basic investment, and the remaining maintenance would not cost that much.

"So how much money do you think Xiao Lingtong can make this year?"

"Conservatively estimated, two billion or more..."

"so much?"

Even though he knew it was a considerable sum of money, Jin Shi was still surprised by the profit which was calculated in billions.

"As long as it remains stable, it is estimated that there will be an increase. As for what the peak will be, it depends on the situation."

After reassuring his father Jin Shi, Jin Shang continued to explain:

"Actually, I don't want to develop commercial real estate right now, but my second uncle has a need for it. Without me, I'm afraid the persuasiveness won't be enough, and there will be further involvement later."

It's not that Jin Shang is desperately trying to make money by freeloading. Jinxi Culture's business center is not real estate. Land grabbing is just a defensive measure. Today's Internet is still too virtual. Without some offline industry, even PPT reports feel a bit empty.

"Okay! You decide for yourself. The risk is too great. Be careful."

Today, Jin Shang is no longer an entrepreneur who worries about millions or tens of millions, but a rising star in the business world who talks about deals worth hundreds of millions at every turn.

Outsiders may not know this, but Jin Shi knows that his eldest son is still a big player in the financial market. The fluctuations in the bond market in the past two years and a series of secondary impacts have profoundly changed the direction of domestic finance.

Apart from anything else, some grey transactions in the subprime debt market have weakened significantly due to Jin Shang's strong involvement.

Risk arbitrage is not just a technical job, it cannot be done by luck alone.

Today we came out to have fun, not to discuss business, so the father and son chatted briefly and didn't go any further.

Focusing on the application of fast-growing grasslands and bamboo willows, agriculture itself is difficult to make a profit. Without subsidies or support from surrounding industries, it is actually difficult to find a good business model.

However, Jin Shi knew that his eldest son had a "golden finger" inherited from his ancestors and had a natural advantage in this regard. He had fewer diseases and pests, grew faster, had higher crude fiber content, and his cattle and sheep grew stronger. Even this tiny advantage would accumulate over time and eventually become a huge wave.

It was a rare occasion when the family had so much free time, so Jin Shang acted like a good brother and played with little Jin Feng until the little guy got tired.

At lunch time, the family found an open space, had a picnic and barbecue, and after eating, they booked a theater to watch a movie.

"Drunken Master 2", the blockbuster which has been released for more than half a month, followed by "Resident Evil", which has lost some of its popularity, and hit domestic theaters. Two days later, it was also released overseas. With the foundation laid by the previous film and Dai Yiqun's popularity rising to a new level, the popularity remains high.

Not only does it have many fans in China, but the entire film and television industry in the Asia-Pacific region is overwhelmed by this well-made action movie.

It is certain that it will be a big hit, but how much it will earn specifically remains to be determined after the movie is released. As of now, the sales of "The King of Fighters 1998" and the game console Venus 3, which were released on January st, have soared, making the film and game joint development department very happy.

Following the convention of releasing one new game per year, the "Mob of Fighters" series of games already has a very deep fan base by this year. The marketing department has also put a lot of effort into introducing new products this time. It is really good to be able to take advantage of the popularity of "Drunken Master 2", and this is the power of a big IP breaking the circle.

In addition, after a year of silence last year, the Venus series of game consoles launched its third generation products again this year.

The reason for this operation is that the third generation was finally released after the inventory of the first generation products was cleared out and the second generation improved models were almost sold out.

This time, the Venus 3 game console focuses on strengthening the networking function and adding many peripheral interfaces, including USB, DVD, cassettes, and floppy disks. The optimization of keyboard, mouse, and handle is also very successful.

More importantly, the new version of the game console already has strong cross-platform online capabilities, making advance preparations for the online gaming strategy after the New Year.

The technical content of today's game consoles is not very high. The real competitiveness lies in the number of user machines, the core game fan group, and the current game platform built on this basis.

As for the equipment itself, there is no need to make much money. The key is to sell the games you set up, collect distribution commissions, and promote the games you design and produce yourself.

The hustle and bustle of the outside world did not affect the family's leisure time. Everyone else watched the show with great interest, but Xiao Jinfeng was not used to the strong sound and light effects and fell asleep after watching for a while.

I can fall asleep in such a loud theater. Maybe I really had a lot of fun today and I’m tired.
