Chapter 514

“Boss, this area has a superior geographical location and a very good topography. It is used to build mechanized farms and is very suitable for…”

“Boss, the land here is fertile and the climatic conditions are good. Look at the potatoes we grow outside the camp. They are growing well. They don’t use any fertilizer…”

“Boss, we have designed the entire plan, made a budget, and the investment will not be too big…”

Seeing that Xie Kai wanted to change places, everyone naturally stopped doing it.

Around here, the geographical conditions are indeed a very advantageous place for them.

“Everyone, please be quiet!” Xie Kai pressed his hands to stop the discussion in the tent, “I understand what everyone thinks. This is not in China, but in Africa. As long as Africa is not a desert, it is indeed fertile. …”

“This is not to grow food in our country, nor to feed our people. We are a company, and we consider the amount of investment and profit. How much time can be invested and how much profit can be gained every year…” Xie Kai Speaking while organizing the language.

Africa is rich in land, but Africa is the most food-deficient place in the whole world, and a large part of the people are in a situation of insufficient food.

There are reasons for climate and geographical location; frequent wars make it impossible for people to grow crops at ease; there are reasons why agricultural planting techniques are backward; there are also reasons why lazy black people can fill their stomachs without too much labor because of abundant supplies. …

But Xie Kai needs the money he invested to be quickly recovered, and he has to create profits.

“Boss, we have made a budget and invested in the early stage, including construction of water conservancy projects and various equipment for wasteland reclamation. We need to invest about 160 million yuan. It only takes one year to reclaim the plain…” A thin middle-aged man with glasses and a white shirt, about 50 years old, stood up and said.

“How much time can there be output? Isn’t this billions of dollars of funding?” Xie Kai knew that professional issues should be left to experts. “If you change it to a place where you don’t need to build too many water conservancy projects and have better natural conditions, how much investment will you make?”

He didn’t think that even the mountains were reclaimed like in the country, but only the plains.

“Along the way, I think there are indeed plains around, but no crops are planted. There are two dry seasons a year, and each dry season lasts for three months…” What Xie Kai regrets most now is why he didn’t think about it seriously. .

Originally, it was just as a guise for the establishment of camps for mercenaries, but the project got bigger and bigger.

It’s not that he hadn’t thought about it, but he had never thought that the water level of Lake Tanganyika was so much lower than the land they got.

The investment in water conservancy projects alone costs tens of millions.

Xie Kai is naturally unwilling to get money on this.

“Boss, we have another plan. We don’t need to pump water from Lake Tanganyika for irrigation, and the project cost will be much lower. The construction machinery transported in China can be used to continue to build various irrigation systems after the farmland is reclaimed. Engineering…” said the middle-aged man in glasses.

Even if Xie Kai was obviously unwilling, they still didn’t give up.

For them, this piece of land is definitely worth developing.

“Talk about it.” Even if Xie Kai is unwilling, he can’t just stop like this according to his own ideas, otherwise everyone’s enthusiasm for work will be hit.

“Boss, please look at this map. The red-lined areas on this map are all land allocated to us by the Tanzanian government. Both of these are ravines. We have surveyed and mapped on the spot. If we build reservoirs in these two locations, Only need to build dams and two rainy seasons can fully meet the water use in the area above. And usually only need to use a lot of water in the process of rice seedling cultivation… In the rainy season, as long as there is no problem with the cultivated fields, these fields themselves No need for any irrigation, the water can be stored until harvested…”

The glasses took out a self-made map and showed it to Xie Kai.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Xie Kai has not conducted field surveys of the surrounding terrain. Anyway, this area is much higher than Lake Tanganyika, except that the area near the lake is not much higher.

“We only grow rice for two seasons, and the hills are used to grow potatoes or sweet potatoes. According to our estimated output, we can raise thousands of cattle and thousands of sheep each year. Potatoes and sweet potato seedlings can be used to raise cattle and sheep, and potatoes and sweet potatoes can be used for raising cattle and sheep. For making feed, etc…” another consultant said. “The prospects are very big.”

In the eyes of the Chinese farm name, all land can be recycled indefinitely.

“It’s hot here, can you grow potatoes?” Xie Kai doesn’t know about farming, but he still knows some basic common sense.

Potatoes, that is the most common thing in the whole winter of the base.

“Because of the good weather conditions here, we can continue planting after harvesting, and we only need to irrigate during the dry season…” said another consultant. “In addition, all kinds of miscellaneous trees can be cut down in the mountains and replaced with tree species to produce fruits. The weather here is not good for preservation, but they can be produced into canned fruits. That stuff is also rare in China. In Africa, All high-end things…”

It’s just that this consultant is a farmer.

Xie Kai saw that everyone was in favor of starting a farm here, and he was a little undecided for a while.

Decided to stop the discussion for a while, go out for a breath, and think about it.

“This place is indeed very suitable for building a training field. Near the lake, there are some low mountains, the terrain conditions are complex, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is also the most ideal terrain for special operations…” Liao Dong returned. Said to Xie Kai.

Xie Kai looked at him, “Isn’t Tanzania talking about providing military camps? That might be a lot less investment.”

Now everything has to be spent, the problem is that he still has too little money.

“Their barracks? Just a playground and a few barracks, all learned from China, but it turns out that painting tigers is not an anti-dog…The thing is that our domestic militia training grounds are much better than theirs.” Rabbit One Contempt of the face.

Xie Kai didn’t understand when they saw the Tanzanian military camp.

“It’s not far from Kasanga. It is more convenient whether it is mountain training or underwater training. We lack training in diving and other aspects.” Liao Dong lit a cigarette. “The weapons and ammunition were handed over by the Iraqis to the soldiers guarding here.”

“We don’t care about the weapon trade. But you may have one more task at the moment.” Xie Kai said to Liao Dong.

Both Liao Dong and Rabbit looked at him.

“To train the guerrillas, on the one hand, they must be made to look like regular troops, and on the other hand, they must be taught in guerrilla operations. In addition, when the group of domestic members arrive, there is another task. We will send out 20 people to fight with the Soviet Union. People and Iraqis formed a 100-member military advisory team and went to Angola…” Now that I have said that, Xie Kai did not hide it, “Whether you want to take this task, you think about it.”

Liao Dong didn’t expect that he would have business when he arrived here, and he would still fight with the Soviets and Iraqis.

For them, other mercenaries are never more reliable than their brothers who were born and died with them, so there is no reply to Xie Kai in the first time.

That night, on the East African grasslands, there were no lights and only a few bonfires. What Xie Kai did not expect was that Luo Feng and others ran out with the mercenaries to hunt, and they fixed two African antelopes and some hares. Son, roasting excitedly on the campfire.

Have a great time.

Xie Kai sighed with emotion. The Chinese are here, and the fate of wild animals on the East African prairie will change. Don’t be eaten and extinct…

After feeling the emotions, he took a piece of roasted antelope meat without any consideration, while sitting next to a bonfire with the consultants, continuing to talk about the things that were not finished in the afternoon.

Since Liao Dong also thinks this side is good, let’s listen to the advice of the consultants of the agricultural company.

“Boss, you pay such a high salary to farmers like us, which is better than the treatment of state officials. We must consider the interests of the boss. This place is indeed very suitable for growing food, even if we do not build any water conservancy irrigation facilities. Baogu can also harvest two seasons…” said a consultant with drape on his face.

They have no awareness of working for the organization. After all, it was clear from the beginning that they work for private individuals.

“Really possible? What if you only invest 50 million in the early stage?” Xie Kai pondered, investing too much is not a problem, 50 million, which is less than 20 million US dollars, should not be a big problem.

Professional things are left to professional people.

He doesn’t have any problems with industrial things, especially all kinds of industries related to military industry.

Xie Kai can be planted to death by planting some flowers, not to mention agriculture.

Hear your opinion, even if the cost is higher, no loss is okay.

“Boss, we can build it gradually. As long as the construction machinery is in place, the land will be reclaimed during the dry season, and the rainy season will come two months later, so we can plant seeds…” said the glasses, who said that it would cost more than 100 million investment at the beginning.

Lu Yang was on the side and never interrupted. He also spoke now, “Boss, although we are actually investing relatively high here, we can lower their rents. Here, areas with better conditions can be directly reclaimed. Almost all of the crops are controlled by several state-owned agricultural companies in Tanzania. Or there are many small farmers…”

“How much do they want to rent?” Xie Kai asked.



“In the beginning, the Rukwa District Government asked for 15 US dollars per acre. As a result, our annual rent will reach 15 million US dollars. This kind of price is really too high… Because of this condition, I talked to them. It has been reduced to 5 dollars, if you press it again, two dollars are possible…” Lu Yang said embarrassedly.
