silent farm

Chapter 252 The Town Construction Plan Officially Launched (Baoer [-])
Once such a road is built, it will connect the villages and towns of Óbidos, Alenquer, Lepugna and Almerín along the way.These are the largest settlements north of the Amazon River in the state of Pará.If there is this east road, the living conditions of these settlements will undergo major changes, and it may make these small towns have development prospects.And he can exert some influence on these towns with the extension of the road.

However, if he wants to fund the construction of a road in other places, the voice of opposition should not be very loud.But in the Amazon Plains, it's completely different.

Once there is easy land transportation, forest land becomes valuable.Illegal logging will also become rampant.Environmental organizations such as Green and Organization will definitely oppose it with all their strength.So he cannot build this road in the name of one person.If it is proposed by the wishes of all the residents of a town, even if some people oppose it, some people will support it.

Of course, he doesn't want to build a road, but let it become an accomplice to the destruction of the environment.And he has a way to deal with it.Such as road section tolls.Set up timber checkpoints at toll booths.

You can also donate money to build environmental protection stations in several large residential areas, donate a few helicopters and the like, it is nothing to him.

That may cost him a lot of money, but he thinks it's still worth it.If such a road is really built, the farm's products can be directly loaded and transported to the seaside, and the transportation pressure on the farm will be greatly reduced immediately.In addition, it can also spread its influence to the North Shore region in the middle and lower reaches of the Amazon.At the same time, it can also free the farm from the dependence of Santarem Port, which is now controlled by the American Monsanto.

What's more, in those few towns, most of them are of Indian descent, and this road is of great help to his plan for Indians.

Just to complete this plan, he needs a lot of financial support.

He asked Babur to take the sales records of the farm, and after a brief look, he found that it was only pasture, and he still had about 200 billion reais that had not been recovered.

In fact, recently he has received a large amount of money every month, each of which is around 50 billion reais.With these incomes, even though the farm has been investing, he still has a large surplus.

He wondered if anyone else in the world had as much income as he did.But his money has never turned into cash flow, and most of it has become deposits.His previous venture to take down Cargill in Brazil had made him more than $100 billion.In the first half of the year, he invested 20 billion U.S. dollars in the farm, and his deposits not only did not decrease, but increased by several billion U.S. dollars.

With this deposit, even if he has no income, he should be able to support the construction of the town.Follow-up plans, funds should also be able to make up in time.

The investment to build the town can only be made by himself, and he doesn't think anyone will be willing to cooperate with him on that road.That highway is certainly a loser in terms of economic benefit.Social gain means little to others.He felt that maybe the road could really be approved, but even the Brazilian government might not be willing to invest.

If he had more heart, he could even extend the road west to Manaus.It's just that the road needs to pass through the farm, so he is a little reluctant.

Of course, the project of building the city may start soon.It may take several years to build roads and various research work, plus demonstrations and the like, it will be satisfactory if the project can be approved within ten years.

And the premise of all that is that Silent Farm will build that town.

Speaking of this matter, Li Sheng can completely decide on his own.But he wants the top ranks of the farm involved.It helps them to be of the same mind as him.

So he improvised the first high-level meeting of the farm in more than a year.

He not only invited Babur, Zhang Dingbian, Zhang Feng and Thomas to attend this high-level meeting, but also Ding Jiaqiang, Feng Xiaoting, Cheng Dong, Bai Qin and Cao Mo.

When these people came to his office, he threw out his plan and said, "You can talk about what you think."

The idea of ​​building a city seems a bit whimsical to others.Li Sheng suddenly proposed this idea, and they could only look at each other in blank dismay.

They didn't speak, and Li Sheng didn't urge them.He knew that this matter was too sudden, and they also needed to think about it.

The office was silent for a while before Feng Xiaoting broke the silence.He frowned and said: "Boss, what you said just now, we really should build an industrial zone. After all, our farm is too big and produces a lot, which can fully support an industrial zone. But how does this city work? If it is influenced by Brazil If the government controls it, according to the law, the city may slowly encroach on the interests of the farm on the grounds of development. In the end, the farm may become the opposite of the city. And the various negative impacts of the city, such as garbage, waste water and other Pollution, we also have to think about it."

"Feng is right." Thomas also said at this time. "If this city develops industries beyond our expectations, the impact on our farms will be immeasurable. If it is only our own port, there may not be heavy industries. But if the road is connected to Obidos, and in Obidos Build a large river port in Bidus. The remote area, coupled with a large amount of manpower, is likely to be selected by some foreign heavy polluting industries."

Li Sheng knew that what they said made sense. In fact, he had considered some of what they said.It's just that everything has two sides.And it is impossible for him to allow heavily polluting industries to enter the farm.

He said: "Those should really pay attention. But my idea is that the land in this city, except for public facilities, all the land is still in my name. It's just a reserve price that is leased to all residents. As long as we limit the use of land, You can control the types of industries that come in.”

He paused and said, "Actually, put it another way. The environment of Silent Farm is very good, remote, and lightly polluted. Maybe there will be high-tech industries here." Of course, the transportation aspect will make his expectation only be look forward to.

Babur said at this time: "I don't think there is anything wrong with Li's idea. Although there may be various disadvantages and hidden dangers in building a city. But building a city is also of great benefit to our farm. For example, in terms of administrative approval, sales and so on. In addition, when there are more workers in the future, we don’t have to be distracted by the daily life of these workers. But Feng’s worry is also necessary. I think that if we want to build a city, we should control it from the beginning. For example, the city We must take the lead in terms of land use size, urban construction planning, and the main source of residents. In addition, we must guard against the emergence of slums.”

Cheng Dong raised his hand and said, "Boss, let me say a few words."

After Li Sheng nodded, he put down his hand and said, "I personally think that it is a good thing for the farm to have a city near the farm. With a city, there will be a commercial area. Our workers don't need to buy Clothes go to other cities to watch a movie. In addition, with a city of our own, workers settle in this city, and their feelings for the farm will be deeper. I believe that even if the city is not in our hands, many citizens I still have a good impression of the farm. In addition, since the city is based on the farm, we will still take the initiative in the future.”

Li Sheng waited for a while, and found that no one else wanted to say anything. He asked, and what he said was not very constructive.However, he didn't expect too much from this meeting.After all, they might be able to run a farm, but they certainly don't know how to run a city.

After asking everyone's opinions, Li Sheng said, "Although there are some doubts, everyone still prefers to build a city. That's the decision."

He pondered for a moment and continued: "Now I'm considering how much land to build a city is more reasonable. What do you think?"

It was still Feng Xiaoting who said first: "Boss, this place can't be too big. If it's a low-density population town, ten square kilometers is enough. It can accommodate at least 4 to [-] people. Of course, it's a residential area and a commercial area." .This piece of land can be clearly delineated into the town limits. We can set aside another area for the industrial zone, but this piece of land must be in the hands of the farm.”

"In addition, food is also needed in cities. The price of food on our farm is relatively expensive. We recommend setting aside a piece of land of an appropriate size to grow fruits, grains and vegetables for the city. But the ownership of this land must also be controlled by the farm. To put it bluntly, we can hand it over to the citizens to operate in the form of contracting or renting. Such an arrangement can hold the dominant power of controlling the scale of the city in our hands.”

Thomas thought of another question: "In terms of infrastructure, we also need to consider. Running water, electricity, and public transportation can all be controlled by us. If we master these things, the city will be in our hands in the future."

Li Sheng waited for a while, only to find that the others had nothing to say.He then said: "I have remembered all your opinions. Then let's end the meeting. After you go back, please don't think about leaking the content of this meeting before the plan is announced."

After everyone dispersed, Li Sheng felt that he had to make this plan as soon as possible.Raimondo said that at least the foundation can be applied for a new town.But since the goal is to build a town, it must be planned according to a formal city from the beginning.

He opened the detailed map of the farm, thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to build this town two or three kilometers upstream of the port.

Feng Xiaoting's suggestion is still very reasonable.He remembered that the urban area of ​​some small counties in Huaxia would not exceed ten square kilometers at most.But those counties can accommodate 10,000 to [-] residents.If the building can be built higher, such an area may accommodate a population of [-]+.

He decided to set aside an area three by four kilometers for the city.In the direction of the port, there is an industrial area with a width of two kilometers and a width of four kilometers.Another [-] square kilometers of arable land were set aside on the other two sides.

It's just that the water and electricity problem is a bit difficult to deal with.Don't worry about the water source, the water quality of the Mapuela River is still quite good.As for electricity, thermal power is absolutely not allowed by Li Sheng.Wind power is possible, but the investment is relatively large.For photoelectricity, the rainy season is too affected.

In the end, he decided on wind power.
