The Great Worm Lich

The area of ​​one acre is about 4,000 square meters, and the size of 200 acres is 800,000 square meters. At first glance, this sounds like a very small number. You can carefully convert it to less than one square kilometer in the vast desert. , A small oasis of this size is as insignificant as a coin on the market,

　　 If it is close to a large oasis, there may be a lot of use value, but if it is too far from the large oasis, then the high development costs and dangerous living environment will make it worthless.

　　Two hours after finishing the conversation with the senior bureaucracy of the Ministry of National Defense, Zhang Lisheng drove into such a small oasis that the federal government determined to be of no development value.

Jeep knocked down a bunch of small shrubs, heavy gripping hòu heavy tires rolled into a piece of green grass, and rushed to the source of the desert where all the miracles of life were revealed. A north-south width is only two meters, but the east-west direction runs through The whole oasis stopped in front of the small river.

　　The youth opened the door and jumped off the car.

　　 The breeze was cool and the water vapor was wet. He stretched his bones comfortably and was about to speak. He suddenly saw thirty or forty busy houses by the river ditch or built a special board house;

　　Or study the growth situation of riverside plants by measuring water quality;

Or in the idle figure, a very old, white man wearing a blue canvas denim overalls and a wide-brimmed cowboy hat rushed over, incoherently, and extremely reprimanded to him: "I God, you know, do you know what you did!

Those dwarf shrubs, those dwarf shrubs are the last barrier to protect this oasis from wind, sand and desertification. You even broke a dozen plants in this way. I hesitated for three days and did not want to do destructive research on them. You, you…"

"I let you get what you wanted, didn't you, old man," Zhang Lisheng spread his hand and interrupted the old man, pointing to the dwarf trees in the distance, "Look, the trees that came out of the shattered shrubs The juice is still fresh and still maintains basic activity. You have no time to collect it as a'testing material' now."

　　 Hearing this, the old man’s expression was even more angry, but he no longer shouted at the youth, and hurriedly shouted to several assistants and students around him: "Da Ming started the generator;

　　Emily took the freezer;

　　 Donaldson is ready to collect utensils... "One side strode to the distant broken tree.

　　Looking at the old man's back, Zhang Lisheng shrugged to his stunned agent: "Good afternoon, Charlie, is this the geologist you found for the farm?"

　　 Judging from the friendly'academic dialogue' between the scientist he and I just entered, my temper was not very good. "

"Boss, Professor Kenneth is the best person we can find," Charlie said with a bitter smile. "Environmental and geology experts specializing in soil and water conservation are now'hot and hot', we There is not much choice."

　　 "You misunderstood me, Charlie.

　　 As a biologist, I really appreciate such inhuman scientists who focus on academic research, and you are doing very well. Zhang Lisheng smiled at Charlie and turned his attention to the LS legal officer beside him. "Edward, it's great to see you."

I received a phone call from the head of the Department of Defense Logistics Support of the Ministry of Defense, called Philips Edwards, to ask for a meeting two hours ago, and I made an appointment with him at 9 am tomorrow morning in the lobby of the'Haihuang Building'. I hope you will be there . "

　　 "Yes, boss," Edward said respectfully: "I will be prepared so that no matter what unreasonable requests he makes, they will not stand up to the legal level."

The young man nodded happily with a smile, no longer talking about business, and looked around at the vibrant environment surrounding the desert, saying: "I am speaking for the first time in this oasis. The environment is really good. I can't see the desertification at all. ."

　　 "I felt the same way when I first came to this oasis, boss," Edward said regretfully: "Unfortunately, the water output of the river channel on which the oasis depends is indeed decreasing.

The federal environmental assessment predicts that this oasis has existed for at least more than a thousand years, and has entered a'decay period'. It is expected that if the ecology remains unchanged, it will remain for 70 to 100 years. Once the water consumption increases, The environment will deteriorate rapidly. "

　　 The words of my friends just fell, and when Zhang Lisheng frowned slightly, Charlie hurriedly explained from another angle, "Of course, we can artificially dig deep water wells, improve the quality of vegetation, and establish a more complete ecological cycle system to reverse optimize the environment here.

　　Only willing to spend money at any cost, any miracle can happen, boss. "

"That's not bad, anyway, the most important thing for us in the future is money." Zhang Lisheng nodded and stretched his eyebrows, looked down at the quiet ditch under his feet, a sudden curiosity rose in his heart, muttered to himself, "Why has this little river existed for so long, but now it's going to dry up..." Hands stretched openly and stroked the water.

　　 Suddenly, on the otherwise calm river, there were ripples that seemed to be blown by the strong wind, quietly rippling.

After ten seconds, the youth’s face suddenly changed, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and he asked in a low voice for a long time: "Charlie, I remember you said that the company has invested 20 million yuan in this oasis, How much did it cost to buy it from the Federation?"

"Boss, most of the 20 million yuan investment is used to build farmhouses, agricultural machinery, and order advanced automatic irrigation systems. The land price is only 370,000 yuan, which is equivalent to the value of all the wood in this oasis. sum."

　　 "That means that if there are no such trees, the value of the land alone is not worth much?"

　　 "Yes boss, the oasis we bought is closest to ‘New Washington A’ and is owned by the Washington State Government in accordance with the new Federal Charter Amendment.

　　 And the "Washington Public Land Use Law" stipulates that all land in the state that cannot be reasonably used by the government, federal citizens or companies can pay in advance at a price of 10 meters per guaranteed floor to apply for purchase.

　　After the subscription is issued, the state government must announce it within 15 days. Within one month of the announcement, if there are other buyers willing to compete, the government will decide the ownership of the land by public auction within one week;

　　If there is no competition, the land will be owned by the purchaser after one month.

　　So if the value of land attachments is not counted, that is, wood, the reasonable land price of this oasis is about 800 to 1,200 meters. Edward responded with a very professional tone instead of Charlie.

　　 "Ten meters per acre, this is too cheap Edward, are you kidding, how is it possible?" Zhang Lisheng said in surprise.

"In fact, this price is already too high. The owner, ten meters per acre, one square kilometer is one thousand yuan. It is also marked as an unusable desert zone by the government. Louisiana or Nevada has been in the state for more than a decade. In the pre-peaceful era, the price of public sale did not exceed 100 yuan.

　　 For the government, the wasteland has been idle for a hundred years and will not bring in even one meter of income. It will be sold at a low price. No matter what kind of development is carried out by private individuals, it means endless taxes and jobs.

　　 The worst result is simply being left idle. Even then, the government still uses ‘waste’ to cash out a public fund, and the buyer must pay land tax to the government every year. Why not do it. "

"It's not bad to say that to Edward. It seems that I still haven't really learned your pragmatic way of thinking until now." The young man opened his mouth and found he couldn't refute, shrugging and said: "Well, the one you said Is the land tax that must be paid to the government annually expensive?"

　　 "Very cheap boss, different laws in different states. If it continues to be deserted, the maximum is only 1% of the land purchase price. If it is successfully developed, there are various tax deduction mechanisms."

"Oh, it seems that our luck is good," Zhang Lisheng smiled excitedly, lowering his voice: "Charlie, after going back, apply to the Washington State Government to buy all the public land around this oasis. How many."

"Everything, boss," although Charlie had foreseen his thoughts from the questions raised by the youth, he still asked, "This new oasis is about 350 kilometers northwest of the oasis is "New York City", extending Part of the desert that goes out belongs to New York State~www.wuxiaspot.com~southeast..."

　　 "Well, Charlie, don't care about the small money, no matter what state it belongs to, take all the land around it that can be bought." Zhang Lisheng said with a sullen face, and said calmly when he planned on his agent.

　　 "I get it, boss." Although he didn't know the intention of the dark-haired young man in front of him, Charlie replied immediately after listening to his determined tone.

Zhang Lisheng nodded silently, stood by the river and stopped talking. Until a few minutes later, the old man who had collected the broken branches and leaves came to him with a somber face, and the young man smiled and reached out. : "Good noon, Professor Kang Neji, this is Zhang Lisheng."

　　 "Professor, Mr. Zhang is the founder of the LS Group and the owner of this oasis." Lest the old man continue to bump into his boss and the gods he believes in, Charlie hurriedly added.

"I know who he is, Mr. Charlie." Connegie glanced at Charlie and stretched out the muddy palm and the young man, and said unkindly: "A geologist who studies soil and water conservation is also inevitable He is a qualified biologist, and as long as he is a federal biologist, he does not know who Zhang Lisheng is.

　　 But honestly, doctor, your attitude towards science is not proportional to academic achievement. "

"Oh Professor, in order to rush to meet you as soon as possible, I drove in the desert for two hours in a row, almost "sand blindness" saw the oasis and rushed in immediately after seeing the oasis, and it was really for those small bushes. I'm sorry." (To be continued) [] If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. )
