"Garfield, my friend, what industry do you think operating in the west will create more jobs?" Dulin asked in the comfortable room with his legs crossed and a wine glass in hand.
The mine can indeed bring him lasting profits, but he needs more than just stable output and income. If he wants to gain a foothold in the west and involve the people here in his plan, then he What is needed is industry with a lot of jobs for the Guarts in the west, and more native people in the west. This allows them to support their families without taking too much risk, and still have some spare money to sit in a bar, have a drink, or play something exciting.
Only by turning a large part of the people in the west into his own employees, can Dulin gain a firm foothold here, and be able to use the land of three states and the rich mineral resources to make a loud statement in the empire. sound. If he cannot do this, then it is a pity that all his efforts will be in vain, and those good and simple farmers in the west who can live without you will not cheer for you at all.
"Of course it's mining!" Garfield's first reaction was to mine. To open a medium-sized mine, you need to hire about 300 to 1,000 people. Of course, you can hire more. Anyway, more people dig faster. Those gold diggers with quite clever methods can help the employer manage whether the miners are lazy. The problem. However, he also knew very well that Du Lin's ability to raise this question must have excluded mining. He thought for a moment and said, "I wonder if you have paid attention to the business policies in the west in recent times?"
"I really haven't paid attention to these things. Is there anything you can teach me?" Du Lin clicked, showing his modesty.
Garfield smiled. He moved his butt forward slightly, and it seemed that he was closer to Dulin. "The state next door... is Lapus State. The governor of Lapus State proposed a plan that looks like It seems to be a very new economic argument, but in fact it is an old-fashioned economic argument. He believes that 'opening up' the western region is the best way for the western region to seek a breakthrough in development at present, and has given very high preferential policies and tax rebates to individuals and organizations that open up wasteland in the western region. His ideas were so constructive that he implemented the policy throughout the West."
"Many people have begun to try to grow tobacco leaves in the West. If this tobacco wants to grow well, it needs long-term sunlight and rich land. The West just meets these conditions. I don't know if his point of view is correct, but I have to Not to mention that the cigarette industry is indeed an emerging industry in the west with the strongest development momentum, with manufacturing jobs second only to mining. Many tobacco companies have placed their bases and factories in the west. One factory can probably solve the employment problem of more than three to five hundred people. There is no upper limit.”
"You know I travel around a lot, and I know a little bit about farming and animal husbandry. One hectare of land requires at least ten to twenty people to take care of it, plus the jobs in the factory. As long as you have sufficient funds, you can Create countless jobs here. If you think this is a good idea, you might as well invest some money." Garfield raised his hands and waved, "I don't want the money to go moldy in the bank. You have to make them useful, right?"
Someone mentioned this to Du Lin some time ago, but he didn't pay much attention to it at the time. Although he was a farmer's son, he didn't know much about commercial farming and animal husbandry. In Alfalfa Town, the Kesma family owns a total of twenty acres of land, but they only need three people to take good care of the land. These three people are Mason, Merlin, and The three Dühring brothers. Therefore, he feels that the level of employment in agriculture and animal husbandry will not be too high.
But after Garfield mentioned this, he immediately realized that commercial farming and animal husbandry had completely different performances from self-produced and self-sold farming and animal husbandry. Driven by commercialization, crop yield is no longer the most important indicator, replaced by quality.
A newly hatched chick may be worth the price of an egg, but a two- to three-year-old rooster, especially a majestic one, may be worth two hundred eggs.
Quality is always the option with the highest added value in a commercialized society, whether here or in the world in Dulin's dream.
He pointed at Garfield, "You did a good job of reminding me of the blind spots that I had not noticed before, which will be very useful for my next plan. As for the investment issue you mentioned... I'm very sorry, this is not investment, it is Strategy. Of course, if you are really interested, you can jointly set up a tobacco company to sell my tobacco leaves. The profit seems to be okay? "
Garfield was a little disappointed, but immediately clapped his hands, "I very much agree..."
After sending Garfield away, Dulin immediately went to the state government to inquire about the purchase of agricultural and animal husbandry land. There was only about a month left until spring. After the spring started, if the seeds could not be planted in the spring, future plans would be cancelled. There was chaos, so Du Lin came to the state government's Land Resources Management Bureau early the next morning. He needed to enclosure the land.
Memnon was reviewing several documents at this time. There was an accident in the west a few days ago, but it was just a minor accident. A mine collapsed, killing about forty slaves and eleven miners with imperial citizenship. Those slaves did not need any reaction from him, but the eleven miners needed his approval. According to the agreement between Memnon and the locals, as long as they pay a certain percentage of insurance premiums, the government will compensate them for accidents.
Maybe the insurance premium paid by these eleven people was less than one hundred yuan, but he still needed to pay ninety-six thousand yuan in compensation. This was the first mass fatality incident after paying the insurance premium, and even he felt it was a bit cruel. One hundred thousand yuan was not much to him, but the death of only eleven people resulted in compensation that was almost equal to one hundred thousand yuan. Mining itself is a very high-risk job. Who can guarantee that nothing will happen again
Once tens of thousands of people die this year, the Kadima Party can declare bankruptcy. Only then did he realize the major shortcomings in his plan. In fact, he also considered these things at the beginning, but if he didn't do it at that time, he wouldn't even have a chance. Only if he gritted his teeth and did it, would he have such a chance to successfully win the votes of a city or even a state. If he had not been in business a little shorter, he would now be the governor of the state.
The sudden ringing on the phone made him frown, and he put down the pen in his hand and picked up the phone. The call came from the Land Resources Management Bureau, and he had an acquaintance there.
"Mr. Memnon, the young man you asked my attention to came here today. He plans to buy some agricultural and animal husbandry land. Do I need to grant it to him?"
"Don't give him land..." Memnon actually gave the answer arbitrarily without fully hearing what the other party said. He quickly reacted. After all, mining and agriculture and animal husbandry are definitely not the same words. Even the pronunciation is different. Not similar, "Did you just talk about agricultural and animal husbandry land? Did he say what you need agricultural and animal husbandry land for?"
"Yes, he said he wanted to grow tobacco..."
A strange smile appeared on Memnon's face. If Dulin wanted to take over the mining land, he would never give him this opportunity, not only because he killed one of his men and the gang behind him, but more importantly It was Memnon who wanted to force Dülin away from the west. From Dulin's character of taking action whenever there was a disagreement, Memnon discovered the shadow of Mr. Kesma. They were all like the same type of people, they were all madmen!
It is not fun to be a neighbor with a crazy person. You never know whether the neighbor who is walking towards you and greeting you with a smile will become ill when he passes by you. You never know when he will become ill. He will give you an ax and then blame you for influencing him.
Therefore, as long as Du Lin wants to get land for mining, even if he buys it, no one will sell it to him. The influence of farmers in the west is still quite good. It's just that everyone seems to have made a mistake. This guy is not here to mine, he is here to farm!
Do you want to give him land
Memnon didn't think about it for too long before he asked the people from the Land Resources Management Bureau to agree to Dulin's request. This was also related to the recent main policies in the west. Turning the land designated by the Gobi into fertile plains has always been the "most desired thing" of westerners. "Things. Whoever can do this can be called the King of the West. Even the cabinet has requested that the three western states should vigorously encourage local businessmen to devote themselves to agricultural and animal husbandry construction, instead of digging holes everywhere in the west with red eyes.
At the same time, there is no "mine protection team" in agriculture and animal husbandry, which is the key reason why Memnon does not continue to increase his mineral holdings for Dulin. The more minerals he holds, the more members of the mine protection team he can control. If he buys ten or twenty mines, wouldn't he be able to pull out a mine protection team of 10,000 people anytime and anywhere? What is the difference between this and the armed uprising he carried out on the territory of the old party? How could Memnon, who knew the profound influence of the mine protection team, give Dulin this opportunity
But farming is different. No one will come to grab a piece of farmland for nothing. That thing is worthless, including the output inside, it is worthless!
He likes farming, which is great. It solves some jobs without increasing his personal power. He is willing to contribute to the construction of the west, so let him!
With Memnon's approval, Dulin quickly received approval from the Land Resources Management Bureau, allowing him to privatize 500 hectares of land at a time. When he was about to leave, a staff member casually asked, "What are you going to plant?"
Du Lin turned around and smiled, "Grow vegetables, sir!"
