To be honest, Zhao Yi himself doesn't have a detailed plan to raise this money. He does have the robotics technology in hand, but whether he can raise so much money in a short time is still unknown.
If he ignored it and only wanted to make money for himself, he would certainly be confident that he could make so much money in a short period of time with the help of the robot technology at his disposal, even much more than he imagined.
But sitting in his position, he not only pursues his own interests, but also needs to take care of the interests of ordinary people, which is destined to limit his hands and feet.
In the industrial field, if robots are developed that are as flexible and efficient as humans, most industrial workers will face the risk of unemployment, and the export of these high-end industrial robots will also make my country's industrial industry face greater competitive pressure.
If you want to avoid such changes, you can only sell low-end robots, and you also need to limit the usage scenarios of these robots. These restrictions not only limit the market size, but also limit the unit price.
Therefore, if he wanted to earn enough funds in a short period of time, it would probably not be possible to just rely on robots. He would also need to find a way from other places, but for a while, he didn't have much clue.
But with the golden finger in hand, as long as he can figure out a way to make money, there will basically be no other difficulties. It is precisely because of this that he was so confident just now.
He understood a long time ago that with the golden finger on his hand, money was nothing to him. The reason why he pursued these things was not because of the money itself, but because of the role that money could play in realizing his ideals.
"I think I still have some confidence. Anyway, making money itself is not difficult. As long as you have a good idea, basically there won't be too much difficulty." Zhao Yi said.
Although this was a bit arrogant, people familiar with the matter knew that what he said was true, at least for him. Since he said this, no one at the scene continued to ask more questions.
Although it is indeed not difficult for him to make money, there is no need to ask for details. After all, these are his business secrets. As long as it is not illegal, they have no control over it.
If you ask too detailed questions, and something unexpected happens in the future, it will be difficult for the people present to get rid of the problem. Although you can't do anything to them, the invisible problem will be more difficult to solve.
"Now that Academician Zhao said this, we are relieved. Then we will discuss the more core issue, which is how to contract. We hope that a rough charter can be negotiated." said the leader of the Ministry of Water Resources.
Hearing what the leader said, Zhao Yi suddenly sat up straighter. This topic was the core topic this time. In fact, from the beginning, he felt that it was best to leave the entire plan to him, no matter whether it was for The government is still good for him.
But when it comes to details, there will be huge differences, so he will treat this issue carefully. He still has to fight for what he has to fight for. It doesn't matter if he doesn't like it.
To be honest, even if this plan is not entrusted to him, it will not be a big loss for him. As long as this plan is implemented, his skills and strength must be used, and he will be able to make money from it.
It's very possible that he can earn more from it, but in this case, he always feels unhappy. He is used to having full control over many things, and he is still a little uncomfortable with being a supporting role.
"Before that, I would like to add that in addition to the desert, the Tarim Basin is actually rich in oil and gas resources. Our experts have discovered many signs of oil and gas fields there.
Therefore, before developing the Tarim Basin, we must clarify the exploitation issues of these oil and gas resources in order to avoid future disputes. "said a leader.
After hearing the leader mention oil and gas resources, Zhao Yi remembered that the oil and gas resources in the Tarim Basin are indeed relatively rich in our country. It is very necessary to make it clear now.
Talking about the conversation, he was able to forget about this matter. He really felt that these oil and gas resources were not very important. Because of the early implementation of the new energy plan, my country's consumption of oil and gas resources will show a sharp decline.
By then, our country's oil and gas resource output will be enough to meet the consumption of oil and gas resources by our country's industry and agriculture, and our country has a lot of foreign exchange, so it will be more cost-effective to import oil and gas.
More importantly, my country's offshore exploration technology has made great progress. Since it can mine on the seabed, seabed oil extraction is not a problem, which further reduces the dependence on land oil and gas resources.
According to his idea, it is best not to exploit the oil and gas resources on land and leave them there as strategic reserves. They will only be exploited and used in the most critical times.
However, according to past practice, low-level mineral resources belong to the state, so he has never had any idea of these resources, otherwise he would not have let Huaxia International Petrochemical Company focus on the utilization of overseas oil and gas resources.
“This is easy to do. As usual, if we want to develop these oil and gas resources, state-owned oil and gas companies only need to pay us surface land use fees.
However, I would like to say one more thing here, that is, it is best not to exploit onshore oil and gas resources. You should be aware of the new energy plan pioneered by Shenlong Automobile Company.
This is just the beginning. In the future, my companies will gradually promote this strategy. By then, whether it is power energy, industrial energy, or daily heating, they will all use electric energy.
This has led to a further decline in our country's dependence on oil and gas resources, and our country has a lot of foreign exchange reserves. It can be more cost-effective to use this foreign exchange to purchase these basic resources from the outside.
Moreover, this is also conducive to my country's international trade balance and avoids greater international trade disputes. Terrestrial mineral resources are best used as strategic reserves. " Zhao Yi said.
Our country has gotten rid of the stage of relying on its own resources for development. It has enough ability to mobilize international resources to develop itself. As for the few resources at home, it should be left to future generations.
Since he said this, others have no objections to this. Anyway, there is a precedent. There are also some oil and gas resources under the land he contracted before, and they were all treated using this method.
"Since Academician Zhao said this, of course we have no problem, but I would like to ask, if the environment of the Tarim Basin changes, will it affect the underground oil and gas resources?" asked a leader.
“The main impact should be that surface water will seep into the ground and eventually flow into the oil and gas snow storage area, which may increase the oil pressure in the oil and snow storage area, but it will not have much impact on the oil reserves.
However, oil is basically located very deep underground. It is not easy for surface water to penetrate that deep. It can even be said to be basically impossible.
So my conclusion is that there is basically no impact, especially since my country's oil and gas resources are relatively deep from the surface, so the impact will be even smaller.
However, you can also ask experts in this field. What I just said is based on my own knowledge and the answer should not be too wrong. " Zhao Yi said.
He still has some knowledge about low-level mineral deposits. After all, seabed minerals need to be mined. Without some knowledge, it is impossible to design relevant mining equipment.
"Since there is no impact, let's move on to the next topic, which is what compensation needs to be given if Academician Zhao is allowed to implement this plan.
Here I will first give my attitude, which is to hand over the currently unusable land in the Tarim Basin and the desert land in Gansu to him for management. What do you think about this? "said a leader.
In fact, the total area of the Tarim Basin reaches about 560,000 square kilometers, of which desert and unusable land account for about 400,000 square kilometers. The remaining land can be developed and utilized and is occupied by various counties and cities.
These available lands are generally along the mountains, and in the center of the basin is the Taklimakan Desert, the largest desert in my country, with an area of about 330,000 square kilometers.
However, the desert is surrounded by sandy land, which is actually difficult to utilize and develop, so it will also be classified as unusable land, so the area will expand to more than 400,000 square kilometers.
If the 190,000 square kilometers of desert and sandy land in Gansu are added, the total area will reach about 590,000 square kilometers, which is quite a lot.
But don't get too excited. It's not easy to develop these lands. Don't think that Zhao Yi has taken advantage of this. There are so many advantages in the world that you can take advantage of. Everyone is not a fool.
As mentioned before, it will cost at least 2.5 trillion yuan just to improve the climate and soil structure of the Tarim Basin. Add in the cost of soil transformation in Gansu, and the total cost will be about 3 trillion yuan.
This is only the initial investment cost. Later, these lands will need to be operated and developed, and the investment will be at least twice this amount, which is 6 trillion yuan.
This does not include the Lop Nur urban agglomeration planned to be built in the future. In that case, if it is implemented, the cost will increase by more than one trillion yuan.
Finally, there is the annual maintenance cost, such as the placement of hydrogel. In the future, as the climate of the basin changes, it does not need to be as large as the initial stage, but continuous placement is very necessary.
Judging from the scale of investment and long-term maintenance costs, it is not entirely his taking advantage of these lands for development. At most, it can only be said that everyone gets what they need.
“Given that the investment scale of this plan is too large and its duration is very long, I will make a few requests for you to consider.
The first is that these unusable lands must be leased to me free of charge. It would cost a lot of money to improve these areas. If money needs to be spent on the land, then the burden on me will be even heavier.
Secondly, during the operation process after land transformation, it is necessary to obtain relevant tax reductions and exemptions. This is not only my own requirement, but also the practice of other countries.
I have to mention here that our country's agricultural tax should be abolished, which will not only increase the cost of agricultural production, but also put pressure on our country's production and living costs.
At present, my country's agricultural tax revenue does not account for a large proportion. If it were not for excellent large-scale agricultural enterprises such as Tianji Agricultural Company, it would be difficult for my country's agricultural products to be as competitive as those of other countries.
In the future, my country's openness will definitely become higher and higher. When a large number of foreign agricultural products enter the Chinese market, the competitive pressure on my country's agricultural products will increase instantly. " Zhao Yi said.
After he finished speaking, he looked at everyone present, some of whom agreed, and some of whom were thinking deeply, as if they didn't quite agree with his statement.
Because in the eyes of some people, this is entirely for the benefit of Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company. You must know that the largest agricultural production enterprise in the country is Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company, followed by Sinograin, and the share gap between the two is huge.
If the agricultural tax is abolished, his companies will benefit the most, followed by other agricultural producers.
More importantly, although Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company mainly deals in traditional agricultural products, due to the improvement of planting technology and variety breeding technology, the added value of the products is relatively high.
This can be seen from the export prices of agricultural products of Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company, so I don’t quite believe what he said about the decline in the competitiveness of foreign agricultural products.
Seeing this situation, he continued: "In fact, whether the agricultural tax is cancelled, it will not have much impact on Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company. After all, their production efficiency and product quality are there.
However, agriculture is the basis for the development of all industries. If the price of agricultural products rises, it will inevitably affect the development of other industries, and both industrial production costs and residents' living costs will increase.
Although a large number of laborers from rural areas in the country have gone to work in cities, and the number of individuals engaged in agricultural labor has dropped sharply, there are still some, and agricultural taxes still put a lot of pressure on them.
Moreover, Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company is not the only large domestic agricultural production enterprise. Agricultural taxes put greater pressure on them. I believe you should understand this truth.
In fact, the abolition of agricultural taxes is just a change in the way of tax collection, moving agricultural taxes into industrial and commercial taxes. The abolition of agricultural taxes will inevitably lead to a substantial increase in industrial and commercial taxes. "
He only remembered this incident temporarily. In his previous life, agricultural taxes would not be abolished until the 21st century. At that time, agricultural taxes accounted for a small proportion of my country's total tax revenue, and the existence of agricultural taxes was very low. The government even subsidized agricultural production later.
Judging from my country's current after-tax structure, the proportion of industrial and commercial taxes is already very high. Although agricultural taxes have not yet become dispensable, their proportion is indeed very low.
This is because the products of Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company are relatively excellent and contain many high-value industrial raw materials. As a result, the scale of agricultural output value is larger than in the previous life, and the tax revenue is naturally relatively higher.
However, these taxes will naturally need to be borne by the subsequent industrial enterprises. This will increase the operating costs of the enterprises in disguise, reduce the profit margin, and naturally reduce the scale of industrial taxation.
Of course, he only remembered this matter at this moment, so he mentioned it more. Since there were no people from the tax bureau present, he would not discuss it in depth on this occasion. He just wanted to let them think about this topic for themselves.
As for whether to collect agricultural taxes for operations in the Tarim Basin, he himself is not too worried, because it will take several years before the operation can produce output.
Moreover, under his management, although agriculture's dependence on land is indispensable, its contribution to agricultural profits is not the main one. On the contrary, technical factors account for the majority of agricultural profits.
"We also know your conditions. We can't give an accurate answer yet. After all, there are many things involved. We need to hold a meeting to discuss it later." A leader from the Ministry of Land and Resources said.
After listening, he nodded. This is what it should be. Now it is just a full exchange and communication between the two parties. He hopes to understand the thoughts of both parties so that we can move forward to the next step.
He himself is optimistic about this matter. After all, he has contracted a lot of land before, which not only brought huge economic benefits to the country and provided many jobs, but also curbed the further expansion of desertification.
It's just that I didn't have any foundation at that time, and I didn't have any skills to display. In order to get a good start, I rented these deserts and sandy land at a high price.
Of course, if calculated based on the current output scale of these lands, there is nothing wrong with his previous decisions. This is also an important reason why these leaders handed over the northwest environmental transformation plan to him.
Because capital alone is not enough to convince the government. After all, the fundamental purpose of the government is not to attract investment into the Northwest, but to get things done and reduce the negative impact caused by it.
From this perspective, he is the only candidate. Only under his management, not only will the environment of the Northwest be fundamentally changed, but also the economy of the Northwest will be developed effectively and sustainably.
You must know that it is difficult for traditional agriculture to become a local pillar industry. I have never heard that agriculture can make the local people rich.
But it's different when he runs it. He can make the impossible possible. The high-tech agricultural technology revealed in his hands has been fully proven in the existing agricultural field.
Although the technology in his hands has not been widely publicized to the outside world, it is not a secret among senior government officials or leaders of the agricultural department.
Whether it is the special glass cover required by Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company to build high-tech farm sheds, or the auxins used to promote plant growth, let alone those special plants cultivated from scratch, such as Shuangshencao.
Giving this task to others may be a huge pressure, but leaving it to him, although it is also pressure for him, is more of a motivation.
The leaders at the site believe that placing this heavy responsibility on his shoulders will encourage him to find ways to run these places with all his heart, which will not only achieve the expected results they want, but also have a huge promotion effect on the northwest economy. .
With the previous precedent, the leaders on the scene basically reached an agreement on handing over the execution of the plan to him. No one on the scene had a different view on this.
The meeting has basically ended here. Since it plans to hand over the plan to him, the government doesn't even need to care about the investment. Anyway, as the executor, Zhao Yi's calculations must be more precise than them.
They just need to wait for the results of his implementation. Now that they understand his requirements through this closed-door meeting, they only need to go back and solicit more extensive opinions on his requirements before giving him an answer.
Of course, before the plan can be implemented, it is necessary to wait until the results of the computer weather simulation are available. Although it may not be accurate, it at least has a certain scientific basis and can be more convincing.
After the meeting, Zhao Yi went directly back to his home. Although the plan was huge and there was no final conclusion, his mentality was still very peaceful.
What should be communicated has basically been fully communicated, and the follow-up matters are not up to him. He now needs to think about ways to make money, and at the same time, he is also preparing to spend this year well. He will probably not be idle next year. (End of chapter)
