After dinner, accompanied by several leaders of the town, Chen Mu and his group rushed to Beizhuo Village together.
Sitting in the car, Chen Mu looked at the cars in front and behind lined up, really dumbfounded.
For him, obviously two small Jinbeis can fit everyone in, but now such a long convoy is like some kind of working group going on tour, which is extremely exaggerated.
When they came to Beichao Village, the convoy stopped at the entrance of the village, and the Agudamu and his wife were already waiting, apparently they had been notified long ago.
Seeing the convoy stop, the couple immediately greeted them.
They were all honest people, and when they saw the leaders of the town, they would just smile silly and have nothing to say.
But after seeing Chen Mu, his attitude immediately became affectionate, especially Agudamu, who walked over and held Chen Mu's hand with both hands, shaking vigorously: "Mr. Chen, thank you, your saplings are so nice , The survival rate is very high, basically no one died, it’s really good, really good.”
"As long as you think it's good, I'm here today just to have a look."
Chen Mu's hand was tightly grasped by the Mongolian man. If he hadn't practiced it before, he might have been shaken by the Mongolian man in class. This guy's hands are too strong, and he also has his own madness boost.
"Okay, our husband and wife welcome Mr. Chen to guide us, well, I'll take you to our field to see."
It could be seen that Agudamu was very happy. He had been grinning since he saw Chen Mu, and when he heard Chen Mu's words, he immediately dragged Chen Mu away.
The woman next to him couldn't stand it any longer, and quickly tugged on her husband: "Let go of Mr. Chen, we will listen to the arrangement of the leader and Mr. Chen."
Only then did Agudam come back to his senses, feeling that he was a little carried away, he let go of his hand after a chuckle, and touched the back of his head.
Chen Mu also smiled, greeted Agudam's wife, and then asked Qin Gang: "Director Qin, what's the matter, do I just go to see the land contracted by their family?"
This is the main purpose of coming this time, Qin Gang nodded: "Okay, I'll go now."
Several leaders in the town didn't have any objections, so the group started to follow the Agudam couple to the land they contracted.
In fact, Chen Mu can see all the conditions of this land on the map, but he just wants to see the seedlings planted in the ground with his own eyes and understand how they grow in the quicksand.
So, while walking, Chen Mu chatted with Agudam: "Brother Agudam, is there a big sandstorm recently?"
Agudam replied: "Yes, there are strong winds here every month, and smaller sandstorms are more frequent. As for the wind that blows every day, it is common... Well, basically when the wind blows, the outside of the house is full of sand. Even kids don’t want to go outside to play…”
"When the wind and sand come, how is the condition of the saplings?"
Chen Mu saw that the Mongolian man was about to start introducing the history of environmental changes in the vicinity, so he interrupted him quickly: "Brother Agudam, will the newly planted saplings be blown up by the wind and sand you mentioned?" ?”
Hearing Chen Mu's question, Agudam grinned even wider, exposing his gums, and said, "Mr. Chen, didn't I just say that your company's saplings are really good, basically they don't If it is blown up, even if it is crooked, as long as it is straightened in time after the wind passes, it will be able to live again."
"basically?"
Chen Mu thought for a while, and then asked: "So...there are still saplings blown up by the wind? Brother Agudam, what's the situation? Is it because the planting time is too short? Let's put it this way, if it's because the planting time is too short? The time is too short, then have you observed how long it takes for the seedlings to be planted before they are blown up by the strong wind here?"
Agudam replied: "Some saplings will be blown up because the planting time is too short. I have noticed that if the saplings planted in the afternoon encounter strong wind and sand at night, some will be blown up by the strong wind... um , probably within three hours."
Chen Mu listened, pondered for a while, and understood the situation a little bit.
The Haloxylon tree claims that as long as it is planted in the desert and given some water, it can live in a few hours.
He let Anarguri do an experiment. After his Haloxylon seedlings are planted in the ground, the roots can grow firmly in the ground within three hours, but in the quicksand environment, this ability may be compromised. So it will be blown by the wind.
Seeing that Chen Mu didn't speak, Agudam thought Chen Mu was worried about the saplings being blown up by the wind, so he took the initiative to say: "Mr. Chen, your saplings are the best I've ever seen. Those saplings I bought before , Even if it is planted for a month, it may be blown up by the wind, let alone a few days or a few hours. The roots can be planted in the sand within three hours without being blown away by the wind. It’s amazing. Moreover, not all the newly planted saplings will be blown away by the wind, only less than 30% of the saplings will be like this, which is really good.”
After a slight pause, Agudam thought of Chen Mu and said: "At the beginning, I heard from Kurbanjiang that your Haloxylon seedlings sold for 50 cents, which I thought was expensive, but after planting them, I thought it was expensive. It’s cheap for you to sell, and with such a survival rate, it’s not expensive to sell for a dollar.”
Normally, the wholesale price of ordinary Haloxylon seedlings is ten cents, and some seedlings that are not so good can even be sold for a few cents, or even lower.
But when planting trees in the desert, seedling money is actually not a big cost, the most expensive is the labor cost.
Because in the harsh environment, the saplings need to be nursed and artificially protected for their growth. Only when they grow to a certain extent can they truly survive.
Sometimes, if you are unlucky, thousands or hundreds of saplings may die if you are not careful, so the saplings with higher survival rate will be more expensive in the market.
To give a very simple example, a sapling worth 1 yuan has a 90% survival rate, and a sapling worth 10 cents has a survival rate of less than 50%. Which one should you choose
It seems that the survival rate of 50% is not low, and it can be used.
But for a real tree planter, if a sapling dies, he has to plant it again, water it, maintain it, die again, and then plant it again... It has been so thankless all the time, the time cost and manpower it has spent The cost is actually heavier than Miao Qian.
Therefore, it is clear at a glance which of the two saplings to choose.
This is why Muya Forestry's seedlings are so expensive to sell. They cost a dollar for retail, eighty cents for a small batch, and fifty cents for a large batch.
After listening to Agudam's words, Chen Mu was very satisfied with the Mongolian man's loyalty to his saplings: "Thank you for your compliment, Brother Agudam, our seedlings are already very expensive, and price increases are definitely not an option. In the future, you can help us publicize more, so that more people will come here to plant trees and buy our seedlings."
Agudam patted his chest and promised: "That is necessary. When I plant trees this year, they will all know. If anyone dares to say that your seedlings are not good, I will let them come to my field to have a look." .”
Chen Mu and the Mongolian man chatted and walked in front, and Cheng Zijun and the young men he brought followed behind.
It was the first time for them to come to Beizhuo Village, and they felt quite new about the surrounding environment. They looked left and right, and it took a while before they gradually became bored.
One of the young men said to Cheng Zijun a little impatiently: "Brother Jun, what are we doing here with them? What's the point of this? It's really boring to walk all the way. I don't know how long it will take."
Cheng Zijun glanced at the young man: "If you don't want to leave, just go back to the car and stay there. Anyway, I want to see what's going on. I don't know what my buddy has messed up."
Another young man said: "Brother Junzi, I can see that your buddy is here to do business, and it probably benefits the place a lot, so everyone in the town has come to fawn on him."
After a slight pause, he pointed to the sand dunes around him, and said, "It's okay to come to a place like this, but if I'm allowed to do business, I'd rather die, but it's no wonder that your buddy doesn't dislike it...Brother Junzi , a place like this, what kind of money can you make?"
Cheng Zijun glanced at Chen Mu from a distance, saw him chatting and laughing with Agudam, then looked at the officials following behind, and cast a sideways glance at the young man: "Get out of here Go, you have to endure hardships to be a master, you know? Although that buddy is not like you, he has a good father, but with his temperament, he will be a character sooner or later, I just want to see how he is struggling here What happened."
