Chapter 44: Large area reclamation!
Parker then gave Wang Lu detailed information about sisal.
"Boss, you have seen one of the most basic advantages of sisal, a tropical crude fiber plant. Ropes made of sisal fiber are very tough. In fact, sisal fiber is not only tough and strong, but also resistant to corrosion and salt alkali.
Therefore, it is used in more scenarios than you can imagine. Even the cables used by the Marine Corps ships I served on are all sisal fiber products."
"Sisal fiber is also used in the inner layers of car tires, mechanical conveyor belts, the rope cores of crane ropes, protective nets, rainproof cloths, woven bags, fishing nets, etc. It can be said that the annual demand for this stuff
The quantity is quite large, and the global supply is now in short supply!”
After listening to Parker's words, Wang Lu suddenly realized that this sisal is really a good economic crop.
However, Wang Lu still had some doubts in his heart, so he asked without hesitation.
"Parker, since this sisal has so many uses, it must have a large output. You know what I need is a crop that can provide me with economic value. I don't want to work for a year and only earn a small profit.
."
Born in a mountain village, Wang Lu clearly understands the principle of cheap grain hurting farmers. No matter how widely used sisal is, can it compare with the significance of food to human beings? His parents have been farming for their whole lives, and they earn 100% of their income every year from digging in the ground.
The profit is only that small. To put it bluntly, there are too many people growing grain and the output is too large, so the price will naturally drop.
If it were really according to what Parker said, this sisal should have been fully and widely planted long ago, and the price would not be too high. Although he has a large area of cultivated land on hand, the profit that can be earned when the planting area increases
It should be good too.
But what Wang Lu needs to consider is the ratio of initial investment costs to later income. He doesn't want to do something with twice the result and half the result.
Parker waved his hands repeatedly, pointed at the rope woven with sisal fiber on the ground and said:
"Boss, this guy has certain requirements for the growing environment. First of all, its suitable temperature for growth is around 20 or 30 degrees. This makes it difficult to grow in some areas with four distinct climates and large temperature differences throughout the year. In addition, other
Some requirements have resulted in the international sisal market being in a state of short supply."
Hearing this, Wang Lu's heart began to stir.
The temperature in our pasture remains at more than 20 degrees all year round, which is obviously quite suitable for the growth of these sisals.
Of course, Wang Lu would not recklessly start building sisal just because of Parker's suggestion.
Then he started searching the Internet for information about sisal, and the more he looked at it, the brighter the light in his eyes became!
I have to say that the local reputation as a sisal kingdom is really not an exaggeration!
In addition to maintaining a constant temperature all year round, loose and fertile soil can provide the best living environment for sisal.
The amount of rainfall in the rainy season every year can ensure that sisal is fully hydrated throughout the year. The only problem is that the precipitation is almost zero when the dry season comes every year.
However, sisal’s own advantages of being resistant to barrenness and drought can just offset this!
Everything shows that this land is very suitable for the growth of sisal.
As for the market problem of sisal, the information Wang Lu retrieved is the same as what Parker said. The international demand for sisal is huge every year, and the current sisal production around the world is temporarily unable to meet the demand.<
/p>
In other words, as long as the sisal is successfully grown, there will be no worries about sales. Even Wang Lu's home country, China, imports a huge amount of sisal every year.
Wang Lu is not a fool who is blinded by profit. He will not blindly plant the valuable crops in his pasture on a large scale.
The principle of adapting measures to local conditions has long been deeply ingrained in his mind. At present, sisal, which has good economic value and is very suitable for the local soil and climate environment, is undoubtedly the best choice.
So Wang Lu made the decision without much hesitation: to plant sisal on a large scale in the pastures in the southern part of the Woulu Mountains!
Now the problem that had troubled Wang Lu for some time was finally solved.
Then he found Parker:
"Parker, I plan to plant sisal in a large area, but as you know, I don't know more about this than you do. What do we need to prepare?"
After Parker thought for a while, he immediately spoke:
"Obviously, land reclamation is the most basic work. The soil in the pasture is full of weeds and cannot be planted! But for such a large area of reclamation, the Lovol 704 alone is not enough, so I think you should
Just purchase bigger and more agricultural machinery!"
After a pause to collect his thoughts, Parker continued to speak slowly.
"There is also the issue of manpower. I don't know what you mean by large-area planting. If you are referring to the entire grassland in the southern Woulu Mountains, then I am afraid that our current manpower is far from enough, even with the introduction of modernization.
The same goes for machinery! This is a big problem!"
"There is also the security issue mentioned earlier. You know that once the ranch makes a big move, there will be countless pairs of greedy eyes staring at us!"
After Parker finished speaking in an orderly manner, Wang Lu's expression became serious.
He knew very well that the problems Parker mentioned were real.
But in Wang Lu, giving up is impossible!
Leaving such a large piece of fertile land and leaving it vacant for a day would be Wang Lu's disrespect for his future life of making more than 100 million yuan!
"The purchase of large farm equipment will be left to you, Parker! Our ranch needs to be put into operation as soon as possible so that it can be full of life! What I need is efficiency!"
Parker, who once worked on a farm, is undoubtedly the best candidate. In fact, Wang Lu has no other choice. Is it possible to count on the Halafa brothers and sisters?
In addition to agricultural machinery, Wang Lu also needs to purchase a large amount of sisal seeds.
The grassland in the entire southern Woulu Mountains accounts for about one-tenth of the pasture area, which is about 100,000 acres. After deducting the living area and the land occupied by the Dome River, the remaining area is also quite large. The required swords
The number of hemp seeds is also an astronomical number.
But there is no need to worry now. After all, I have not even cultivated the land, nor have I recruited enough manpower, so the sisal seeds purchased will not be of use for the time being.
However, you can pay attention to this matter in advance. Wang Lu also thought of Sanders, his personal lawyer.
As a well-known Dalu, he might know some people related to the sisal industry in this sisal kingdom.
