After 30 years of afforestation, I became a star with one punch

Chapter 27 Acquisition ([-])

In a Haloxylon grove, the two were walking one after the other, it was Cheng Anping and Wang Zhi.

"Look, Mr. Wang Zhi, the Haloxylon trees here are all adult Haloxylon trees that are at least five years old."

"At this time, the true value of the Haloxylon tree is gradually revealed."

"Its branches and buds can be used with various medicinal materials to treat lung diseases."

"Its root system can be used as the host of the rare medicinal herb Cistanche deserticola to cultivate the precious medicinal herb Cistanche deserticola."

"Some of its dead branches can be used as fodder or dry firewood, all of which have high economic value..."

Cheng Anping introduced Wang Zhi while leading him forward.

An office director, logically speaking, should sit in the office all year round, and he doesn't understand these front-line jobs.

But Cheng Anping was so familiar, and it was obvious that he spent a lot of effort on it, which surprised Wang Zhi a little.

So he couldn't help asking: "Director Cheng, do you come here often?"

"Yes." Cheng Anping nodded, "Not only come, sometimes when there is a shortage of manpower, I will also go to work in the fields."

"Actually, Mr. Wang Zhi, to tell you the truth, our forest farm often has no specific division of positions."

"Sometimes because of the weather, we have to hurry up to plant trees or collect seeds and fruits. We go up to the manager, down to the ordinary employees, and even the children of the employees' families, all have to go to the field to work."

"Of course, the more you work, the more you get. We will pay those helpers according to the quantity."

"But that's it. Sometimes I'm still too busy. I can only watch those plump and pleasant seeds or sweet and delicious fruits being taken away by harsh natural weather or even natural disasters."

"Last autumn, just as the harvest and planting season came, a big sandstorm suddenly hit."

"That sandstorm not only destroyed a large number of forests, farmland, and vineyards, but also took the lives of 37 people."

"Tie Dali, who lives next door to my house, was taken away by the sandstorm because he happened to be busy in the fields at the time and couldn't find a place to hide in time."

"Later, his body was found in the desert a few kilometers away from his farmland."

"Poor Lao Tie's family, they all depend on him for their livelihood. His death, the sky of Lao Tie's family has collapsed."

"Although the government provided subsidies afterwards, that little subsidy can only ensure that their family will not starve to death."

"The second son of Lao Tie's family also dropped out of school because of this incident and went to work in the city."

"However, I heard that he found a formal job in the city this year. The boss is nice and paid his salary in advance. That's how he saved the third child of the old Tie family."

"Otherwise, Sanwazi might have dropped out of school this year."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Mr. Wang, I didn't stop talking for a while, I was talking too much, don't worry, don't worry."

Cheng Anping suddenly realized that his words went too far, so he stopped quickly.

"It's nothing, nothing." Wang Zhi waved his hand, and suddenly his heart moved, and asked: "Speaking of the natural disaster last year, I heard that your Baishihe Forest Farm also donated money?"

"Yes, that's right." Cheng Anping nodded, "Although our forest farm also suffered a disaster at that time, fortunately the loss was not huge."

"Seeing that many villagers lost their source of income and even their houses because of the sandstorm, our manager and everyone together took out 50 yuan."

"Although that little money is a drop in the bucket, it can finally help some people survive the winter."

"That is to say, the benefits of your forest farm are actually good, why are you selling them all of a sudden?"

Wang Zhi asked.

"Uh... this..." Cheng Anping's expression froze, he hesitated for a while, but he still didn't tell Wang Zhi the reason, but said:
"Mr. Wang, you should ask our manager this question. Actually, I don't know very well."

Seeing Cheng Anping's dodging gaze, Wang Zhi knew that something must be going on inside.

But since people don't want to say it, it's natural that he can't force him to ask.

And what Cheng Anping said makes sense. Asking their manager should be more able to understand this kind of thing.

"The forest in the distance is Salix, right?"

While walking, Wang Zhi pointed to the looming woods in the distance and asked.

"Yes." Cheng Anping nodded, "But it's not just salix, there's also red willow, populus euphratica, and a small orchard inside."

"There are pear trees, peach trees, walnut trees and other fruit trees with certain economic value in the orchard."

"Orchard?" Wang Zhi was slightly surprised.

"Yes. Mr. Wang Zhi, you also know that planting trees on the edge of the desert requires a lot of manpower and material resources."

"So, wherever possible, we're going to try to do what we can."

Cheng Anping explained.

Wang Zhi nodded, understood.

To put it bluntly, although planting Haloxylon, Populus euphratica, Salix and other trees has positive effects of windbreak and sand fixation, soil improvement, climate improvement, and even maintenance of biodiversity, it does not make money.

Throughout the ages, few people have done things that don’t make money.

Even if you are determined to contribute to society and are not making money, that is not a problem.

Therefore, return to capital is necessary.

Opening up orchards in the windbreak forest, opening up vineyards behind the windbreak forest, and planting Cistanche on Haloxylon trees are all actions that pay back.

"Would you like to go over there and have a look?"

Cheng Anping asked.

Wang Zhi was about to reply when his ears moved slightly and he turned his head away.

The next moment, a dune motorcycle appeared at the end of the line of sight.

At this time, Cheng Anping also saw the dust in the distance.

Not long after, accompanied by the buzzing roar of the motorcycle engine, the sand bike quickly approached.

呲! !

When they were tens of meters away from Wang Zhi and Wang Zhi, the sand bike braked suddenly and stopped.

Afterwards, a person quickly ran out from the stirred up dust, and ran towards Wang Zhi and the two of them.

"It's Yang Liushui!" Cheng Anping called out, and quickly went up to him.

"Liushui, the manager is back?" Cheng Anping asked confirmingly.

"Well! The manager is already waiting for you in the office!"

Yang Liushui said.

"Mr. Wang, our manager is back, shall we go back now?"

Cheng Anping said to Wang Zhi who was walking over.

"Okay." Wang Zhi nodded.

Bang bang bang!
Cheng Anping patted the seat of the sand bike, shook the sand off it, and smiled embarrassedly:

"Mr. Wang, the conditions are simple, please don't mind."

"It's okay." Wang Zhi shook his head, "Since I am willing to come here, I have considered all of these."

"Director Cheng, I also came from the countryside, and I have suffered a lot. Don't always treat me like a delicate and expensive city lord."

As he spoke, he lifted his legs and sat on the sand motorcycle.

Cheng Anping smiled awkwardly when he heard this, and quickly sat at the back.

Amidst a roar, the sand bike made a turn and headed towards Baishihe Forest Farm.
