Chapter 679 The Cow Dung Empire

Chapter 679 The Cow Dung Empire

"Adam, how valuable do you think the amazing superhero is?" Scarlett said, handing a wine glass to Nanyi.

"20 billion, maybe 30 billion or more." Nanyi took the wine glass, shook it, and took a sip, "The rate of return should not be low."

"Well, then give more cash and lower the dividends. I plan to sign Marvel and DC superheroes, and I will launch a superhero movie in the near future."

"which one?"

"Peter Parker, Adam, he is the same age as you, and people who watched him grow up already have spending power, and emotionally, they have also begun to learn to miss the beauty of childhood."

Nan Yi smiled and said, "Don't you miss it?"

"No, I didn't have Peter Parker in my childhood, only Natasha."

"Oh, Black Widow."

"Adam, which superhero do you like?"

"Sorry, I didn't have superheroes in my childhood."

"what about now?"

"I like whoever gives me money."

"Adam, I've already said that hobbies and making money should not be put together." Scarlett said, sitting on Nanyi's lap with her legs spread, "Adler needs a sister."

Heck, the two mouths are stuck together, and the two of them are turning around in circles, but they can't be separated at all.

...

Throughout November, Nan Yi stayed in the country. Although he did not need to personally do various acquisitions and shareholdings, he needed to make a decision at any time. He had to keep in touch so that others could contact him at any time.

It's just that in late November, Nan Yi didn't stay in New York, but went to Montana to spend time at Ranch 7781, working as a hoof trimmer and pus squeezer that he likes to do very much.

7781 Ranch is a ranch that specializes in raising Angus cattle. There are 37,000 Angus cattle in the entire ranch. There are too many cows and few cowboys. It is impossible to manage finely, and the cattle are unlikely to receive fine service.

Injured hooves and pustules on the body are very common, so the ranch also has specialized hoof trimmers, veterinarians and pus squeezers.

When I first squeezed the pus from the first cow, Nanyi was disgusted. The white pus looked similar to a milkshake, but the taste was really sour.

When I came to Nanyi, Montana, I didn’t dare to bring my two sons with me. Niu understands human nature. If the two children get along well with Niu and say “Dad, we don’t sell cattle” to him, it will be Barbie Q.

Or let them circle the vegetable garden first, and then bring them to the pasture when they are a little older.

After several days of sourness in the ranch, Nan Yi flew to Texas again.

Texas has the largest number of cattle in the country, with more than 13 million cattle.

A swath of northern Texas with the highest density of cattle feedlots in the region is bisected by Highway 60.

The Cargill Feed Warehouse is just south of Bovina, Texas, an area where both feed and slaughter facilities are concentrated.

There are nearly 100 beef cattle feedlots in Bovina, and these feedlots raise 2.6 million cattle, which means that each feedlot raises an average of more than 26,000 cattle.

According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, each beef cow produces about 10.4 tons of manure per year.

According to the data of the National Food and Water Resources Observatory, in 1986, the amount of feces from farms was about 31 million tons, which is roughly equivalent to the feces output of a city with a population of 50 million.

Cow dung contains substances that are hazardous to human health and can cause respiratory and cardiovascular problems.

One study found that children who lived near enclosed animal feeding areas were at greater risk of developing asthma, while a Texas local health system reported a high prevalence of headaches and respiratory symptoms.

The cow dung in Texas has become the biggest problem there. Because the place where the cattle are raised is uneven, either the grassland or the feed factory, it is impossible to clean up the excreted cow dung.

In winter, the problem of cow dung in Texas is not too serious, but in summer, the cow dung all over the mountains is exposed to the sun and then trampled by running cattle. The cow dung dust is flying in the sky. imagine.

In Bounty Town, near the Big Steak Farm in Texas, Nanyi also saw an advertisement on the wall of the restaurant for the recruitment of senior excrement shovel officers with high salaries. The monthly salary ranges from 1,500 to 2,500 US dollars depending on skills .

This salary is very high, very high. Last year, the median annual income in the country was less than 12,000 US dollars, and the annual income of 30,000 US dollars is already comparable to that of gold collars. Even if one person works to support a family of four, the living standard can reach the middle level. level up.

Cow dung is a hazard to Dezhou, but in Nanyi's eyes, it is a great treasure.

"Bernard, why is this place called Bounty Town?"

Bounty Town is just a very ordinary town. There are restaurants, supermarkets, gas stations, police stations, bars, and a small post office. Other than that, there is no motel or hotel, and there is no place to play small games.

"Mr. Adam, there is Wild Wolf Valley 10 miles north of the town. More than a hundred years ago, it was the stronghold of a group of bandits, who often sent out to rob the town and harass the farms and pastures in the town. The townspeople here eat I did my best.

Later, the mayor here organized everyone to collect money to recruit bounty hunters to deal with this group of gangsters. Unexpectedly, more than a hundred bounty hunters came as soon as they came. , There was a fight between them.

Just this road..." Bernard pointed to the road across the town and said: "Back then, after the Rush, the surviving bounty hunters still held a duel here. "

"Oh, how many survived in the end?"

"None of them survived, and were besieged by the bandits in Wild Wolf Valley."

"Because many bounty hunters died, this place was renamed Bounty Town?" Nan Yi asked a little confused.

"Yes and no, the Bounty Town here is indeed related to the bounty hunters, but this name was not named by the original townspeople, but by the bandit leader of Wild Wolf Valley.

Back then, after the bounty hunters were wiped out, the leader of the bandits, Logan, negotiated with the mayor. The details of the negotiations are unknown, but after that, the mayor here became Logan, and all the gangsters in Wild Wolf Valley turned into all of them. The town's police. "

The police in the small towns in the country are not appointed by the higher level, but are recruited by the towns themselves, and the salaries and equipment are also borne by the towns themselves, and they are not fed by the country's finances.

Nan Yi smiled and said, "Interesting, is Logan the last name?"

"Yes, the current mayor of the town is Vince Logan, who is the descendant of that Logan back then."

"Hereditary system." Nan Yi stroked his chin and said, "The Logan family... is it a family?"

"Almost, Vince Logan has three older brothers, two younger brothers, and one younger sister. The Logan family has a large farm and pasture here, just behind the woods in the south of the town;

Surrounded by mountains on three sides, the only way to get there is along the road. Anyone who dares to cross the mountain will be shot directly by members of the Logan family. That area is the private territory of the Logan family. "

"Oh." Nan Yi said thoughtfully, "Have you encountered any trouble?"

"No, Vince is a nice person. I asked the town for help several times, and every time he readily agreed, and he never delayed any procedures."

"It seems that Bernard has a good impression of this Vince Logan, and he is called Vince." Nan Yi muttered in his stomach: "The descendants of the gangsters back then are now honestly raising cattle here? Or ..."

Nanyi looked to the south, as if he could see clusters of bright flowers blooming in that direction.

Calling Xiao Hua to her side, Nan Yi leaned into her ear and said, "Call a team over and bring the reconnaissance equipment."

"yes."

The school belle answered, and went to the side to make a phone call.

Nanyi walked up to Bernard and talked to him about the business, "How far is the cow dung company from here tomorrow?"

"Eight miles to the east."

Nanyi sniffled, but didn't smell too strong a bad smell in the air, "The smell is okay, has anyone complained about us?"

"Not so far, but it may not be certain when the scale of cow dung expands tomorrow."

"Let's go, let's go to the factory first."

A group of people got into the car, and the convoy drove along the east for less than half an hour, and came to the edge of a forest.

"Mr. Adam, in and around the forest, we have planted a lot of flowers and plants that can purify the air, including maidenhair fern, one-leaved orchid, poisonous weed, tiger Piran, etc. We are waiting to test which flowers and plants have the best deodorizing effect Well, it will be planted in large quantities."

"Very good, plan ahead. Now everyone has cow dung, and no one can say anything. But when the cow dung is concentrated on us, the pressure will also be concentrated on us. At that time, the townspeople and environmental protection organizations will definitely come. trouble us."

Nan Yi picked up the binoculars from the side, took a few glances between the bushes and grass not far away, then adjusted the focus, and glanced in a further direction.

The car drove into a circle of fences and entered the factory area of ​​tomorrow's cow dung.

After getting off the car, Bernard went to get a pack of masks, and after everyone put on the masks, he showed Nanyi a tour.

"Mr. Adam, at present, the use of cow dung has been explored and tested in many ways. What we are going to go now is the experimental breeding area for earthworms. Earthworms themselves can be used as high-protein feed additives, and vermicompost is a good food. Decomposed organic fertilizer;

Under the action of protease, lipase, cellulase and amylase in the digestive system of earthworms, cow dung can be quickly decomposed and transformed into nutrients that are easily available for itself or other organisms, and become vermicompost after excretion.

Vermicompost is essentially a product of nature, which can truly fully meet the various needs and nutrients of plant growth, and has a magical fertilizer effect on plants.

Vermicompost, at any concentration, will not burn even very delicate seeds or bedding plants in excess. Our laboratory is conducting research on vermicompost to develop a more effective fertilizer on the basis of it. Organic Fertilizer. "

"What kind of fertilizer can vermicompost be classified into?"

"Its nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium content is not low, and it is relatively average. It also contains a large amount of organic matter, humus, and beneficial bacteria between 20 million and 200 million per gram. The pH value is 6.8-7.1. Different seasons vary. The ingredients are slightly different."

"Almighty fertilizer, PH value tends to be neutral, non-acidic and non-alkali, very good."

Nanyi nodded in satisfaction, walked to the edge of the earthworm cultivation pool, dug a spoonful of cow dung-like material, looked at it for a while, pulled it, looked at the earthworms curled up inside, and then sniffed it at the tip of his nose Smell.

"Bernard, this earthworm looks beautiful, and the vermicompost doesn't smell as bad as I used to."

"Mr. Adam, where did you smell the earthworms before?"

"The ones dug in the farmland, and the red earthworms I cultivated with moss and mud, the kind used for fishing."

"It will smell a little bit. The environment where earthworms grow is different, and the food is also different. The food of earthworms here is from cow dung..." Barabara, Bernard said a large part of the content mixed with the name of the molecular formula, Nan Yijiu If you pass through the seven orifices, you can pass through one orifice alone.

"Bernard, don't go on. I don't understand most of what you said. You just need to tell me what the prospect of raising earthworms is like."

"Uh..." Bernard, who was talking happily, paused, and said, "Mr. Adam, whether it is feed additives or organic fertilizers, the prospects are very broad."

"That's good, let's go to the next place."

Then they walked forward, and they came to a field of mushrooms.

"Mr. Adam, the cow dung can be made into mushroom material after dehydration, fermentation, and then mixed with cotton husks and corncobs. From left to right, there are Agaricus bisporus, Tricholoma, Brown mushroom, Chanterelle, Boletus, Morchella, and the last Those on the right are matsutake, wild seeds collected from California."

"I haven't tasted the matsutake in the country, how does it taste?"

"I feel good."

"What about the Dian Province of China?"

"I haven't tasted one from Huaguo, so I can't compare it."

"It's not in season right now. Next year I'll have someone send some from China. Since we want to cultivate fungi, the nutritional content is second. Taste is very important. You should try all good things."

"Thank you, Mr. Adam."

"You're welcome, this falls within the scope of work."

Then several people from Nanyi went to see the fermentation tank of a mixture of cow dung and bran, which can be used as feed for chickens, loach, fish and other animals;

I also looked at the cow dung fuel laboratory. Cow dung can be fermented to generate biogas, and can also be used to make cow dung sticks, cow dung briquettes. Cow dung and coal are pressed in a ratio of 4 to 6 according to a special method. Not only the combustion value is greater, but also Almost smokeless, comparable to anthracite.

After the visit, Nanyi took some cow dung bait from the laboratory and went to a small river beside the factory to test the effect.

Not to mention, the bait was good and the Guadalupe bass came one after the other.

Seeing that there were a lot of fish caught, Nan Yi said to Bernard: "How about the resources of this river?"

"Mr. Adam, to be honest, there are very few people fishing here, and you can catch fish with any bait."

"You are really straightforward." Nanyi smiled lightly, "Since it is a bait, you can't make a car behind closed doors, give it to fishing enthusiasts outside to try, and sell it when you come up with a good formula.

The core of tomorrow's cow dung is feed and fertilizer. Other offshoots that can be sold are sold, and those that cannot be sold should be supported by downstream enterprises. Don't spend too much energy and make too long-term planning. "

"Mr. Adam, that's what I planned from the beginning."

"Yeah." Nan Yi nodded, sniffed his nose again, stuffed his finger into his mouth and licked it, and stood up to feel the direction of the wind, "Flowers and plants have some effect, although it is downwind, the smell is not too strong. "

"The main reason is that the amount of cow dung is less now, and the purification speed of flowers and plants can keep up."

Nan Yi nodded and asked, "If you are surrounded by mountains or three sides, will the smell not be easy to spread?"

"That's for sure. If there are mountains to block the wind, the smell will not spread easily."

"Oh, go to your office, I want to see a topographic map of the neighborhood."

"Okay, Mr. Adam, please go this way."

Nan Yi followed Bernard to his office, leaned in front of a map hanging on the wall, and while looking at it, Nan Yi asked the owners of each piece of land.

"Wild Wolf Valley has no owner yet?"

"Yes."

"Who owns the land, Commonwealth? State or city?"

"In the city."

"If you use the Wild Wolf Valley to pile manure, how many tons do you think you can pile?"

Bernard made a quick calculation and said: "16 million tons should be no problem, Mr. Adam, do you want to turn Wild Wolf Valley into a manure dump?"

"what do you think?"

"It is feasible. The Wild Wolf Valley is narrow but deep. If a deodorizing green belt is set up at a high place, it can effectively prevent the odor from escaping."

"How's the scenery in Wild Wolf Valley?"

"It's not very good, there are only rocks, because there is no river, there is no water, and there are few trees."

Nan Yi asked again: "Why did Tomorrow Cow Dung choose this factory site?"

"The factory area of ​​tomorrow's cow dung was originally a farm, and the former owner just wanted to sell it. The price was more reasonable, and it was also suitable for transformation into a factory area, so the group bought it." Bernard replied.

Nan Yi pointed to the map on the wall and said: "If you don't consider the ownership of the land, and you are asked to plan the cow dung factory area on this map, how would you plan it?"

Bernard took a pen from the table, walked to the map, pointed to the Logan family's farm and said, "I will choose to build the factory here. The Logan farm is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the import is less than One kilometer wide open land, as long as a deodorizing green belt is built along this open land, 80% of the odor can be completely locked in the factory area.

Moreover, in this position..."

Bernard tapped a certain location on the map with his pen, "There is a river passing by. The source of the river is on the mountain east of the farm. It is the outlet of an underground underground river. According to the people in the town, from The river has not been seen to dry up.

Grassland can be reclaimed on the outskirts of the farm, and a medium-sized pasture dedicated to raising high-end beef cattle can be established. With the separation of pastures and pasture areas, the smell of cow dung is less likely to spread out. "

"How is the water quality of the river?"

"I once drank the water from that river. It tastes sweet and the water quality is very good."

"Have people take water samples from the source, the upper reaches, and the middle reaches for testing. If we want to raise high-end beef cattle, we need a gimmick. I hope this river can give us one of them." Looking at the map, Nanyi said calmly. .

"Mr. Adam, that is someone else's private territory." Bernard reminded.

"I know, we are just assuming that you are playing the landlord game." Nan Yi said lightly.

Bernard didn't believe Nanyi's words. He was just playing games and needed to take water samples. Obviously, Mr. Adam in front of him had already thought about Logan Farm.

"Bernard, when do you estimate that the cow dung will be expanded tomorrow?"

"Mr. Adam, although our current research progress is very fast, the results are not mature enough. I predict that it will take another year for cow dung to enter the mass production stage." Bernard said after thinking for a while.

"Fastest or slowest?"

"slowest."

"Is it okay for me to write 14 months on the calendar?"

"No problem." Bernard said affirmatively.

"Then start planning a large-scale production plant in half a year. After a while, samples of guano and bat guano will be sent over. You can arrange a laboratory test to see if the production process can communicate with cow dung."

"Mr. Adam, I can answer you without testing. The production process of guano is mostly interoperable with that of cow dung, but not bat guano. Its production requires an independent set of processes."

"Understood, the samples will still be sent over. If they can't be produced on the same production line, then the consideration of bird droppings and bat droppings will be postponed."

If you don't understand, you don't understand. Bernard's way of speaking is too direct, Nanyi is not upset.

Cow dung is inconvenient to stay overnight, and there is no hotel nearby. After discussing with Bernard, Nanyi and Bernard did not stay long. On the way back to Houston, Nanyi met with the team who rushed over and told them to scout Logan well. Farm, see if there is anything special growing on the farm.

Both Logan Farm and Wild Wolf Valley Nanyi have taken a fancy to it. If the Logan family has anything to do with drugs, it will be much easier to deal with.

In Houston, Nanyi only stayed for one night. It was too late to take a good look at the current oil city, and the future space city left in a hurry.

...

New York time on November 30.

When Nan Yi was sitting in the living room watching the evening news, Shen Teng was holding the first auction of land use rights in the Mainland.

Li Jing from Tota Architecture, Huangxie from Chunshen Architecture, Xian Yaoguo from Wenchang Architecture, and Chen Ruiwu from Nanchen Architecture were all on site to observe, but they were just observing and had no intention of making a move.

For a piece of land of 8,858 square meters, close to the reservoir, the starting price is 2 million yuan, and the price increase is not less than 50,000 yuan each time.

"Li Jing."

"Huang Xie."

Li Jing and Huang Xie shook hands.

"I've heard of the famous name for a long time, but this is the first time I've seen a real person." Li Jing laughed.

Huang Xie also smiled and said, "Mr. Li, each other, each other, what do you think of this auction?"

"This auction will open a new chapter in history, and it is a milestone for mainland real estate."

"Mr. Li deserves to be rooted in the capital, and the height of his speech is not comparable to that of ordinary people."

"Mr. Huang is polite. Shenzheng has set a precedent. Huhai will soon follow. Mr. Huang will be able to make great achievements in a short time."

"Nansheng doesn't seem to limit our expansion area." Huang Xie said in a tone-deaf way.

Speaking of which, although Huang Xie and Li Jing haven't met before, they have already competed once for the position of president of Zheng Guogao, and they can be regarded as competitors.

"Nansheng didn't say anything, but you are in the south and I am in the north. Does it matter whether you say it or not?"

"Mr. Li, the mainland is huge, the capital is huge, and Shanghai is also huge. One city can accommodate many real estate companies. Maybe one day I will join Mr. Li in the same city, for example, right now."

Li Jing thought for a while and said: "If there is a day, the gun should face outward first?"

"Yes, drive away other people who want to eat the cake first, and then we will slowly discuss how to divide the cake."

"Deal." Li Jing responded, and then said: "Mr. Huang, do you want to show your presence with a sign?"

"Mr. Li was joking. The first shot of land use right auction is highly anticipated. Everyone needs the auction to go smoothly, and the land goes to the people it should go to. It is not a question of whether I can continue to work with Mr. Li if I pay a high price, but Nansheng asked me to choose whether to feed the sharks or the tigers."

Li Jing complimented without sincerity: "Mr. Huang has a thorough understanding. Originally, I wanted to take this piece of land beyond my means, but now I listen to your analysis, and I can't take it."

"Shoveling at home, throwing away your mother." Huang Xie cursed inwardly, "It's no wonder you dare to take this land."

The two became quiet for a while, and their eyes were fixed on the maroon auction mallet in front of them. I heard that this mallet was specially ordered by the Hong Kong Surveyors Association in Yingguo and presented to the Shenzhen Housing Management Bureau. It looks quite good.

In 17 minutes, just 17 minutes, the first piece of land use right in the mainland was auctioned off.

The 17-minute competition was quite fierce. The starting price was 2 million. The Director of the Housing Authority, who was the auctioneer in person, had just announced the start. In the auction hall, the number plates were raised one after another, first 50,000, 50,000. When it was close to 3 million, someone directly asked for 4 million.

Then, it was 50,000 again, and the asking price of 50,000 came several times. A middle-aged man in a gray suit and a checkered sweater stood up holding the number 11, and shouted domineeringly: "5.25 million."

When the middle-aged man shouted out the price, the auction hall immediately became silent and fell into silence. After a few seconds of silence, thunderous applause broke out.

The aura of the middle-aged man was so strong that he suppressed the courage of everyone in the auction house. No one dared to compete with him for the land. The auctioneer was overjoyed on the auction stage and asked several times, "Is there anyone else?" Bid" before the auction hammer was sounded, and the final decision was made.

...

In the morning, before going out, Scarlett said to Nan Yi who was sitting in the garden: "Adam, you go to Chelsea in the afternoon. Pioneer Gallery has an opening exhibition."

"Whose property, where is the invitation letter?" Nanyi blurted out, and immediately realized that it should be his own property, "What time?"

Scarlett rolled her eyes at Nanyi and said, "How long have you not read Dabifan's report?"

"After you took over, I seldom read its report. I believe you can manage it well." Nan Yi flattered and threw it out.

"Aha, then you must not know that I have kicked that bitch in Paris from the list of shareholders."

"As long as you're happy."

Nanyi knew that Scarlett was just joking. It was a strategic need for Sophie Marceau to own the shares of Sophie \u0026 Henry. Nanyi knew this, and Scarlett also knew it.

Scarlett walked up to Nan Yi and kissed him on the cheek, "I'm leaving, the schedule has changed, and I won't be back today."

"Hmm, I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow, without children."

"Do you need to dress up?"

"candlelight dinner."

"OK, goodbye."

Scarlett waved her hand and walked towards the helipad.

"Look at where the two little ones are." After the helicopter took off, Nan Yi said to the school girl beside her.

Xiaohua picked up a wireless closed-circuit television terminal and switched screens to search for a while, "Open a beehive in the woods."

"show me."

Nan Yi took over the terminal and saw that the two young men in full armor were opening a beehive, took out a piece of honey inside, and put the beehive back on. Then they divided the honey into two, held it in their hands and waved it to attract bees attention.

When the bees were attracted by them, the two boys trotted towards the direction of Nanyi.

"There's a leak, there's a leak."

Looking at the actions of the two little ones, Nanyi knew what their plans were without thinking, and thought to himself that the two little bastards were so fucking sweet.

Going back to the house, I found a large squirt gun. Nanyi filled it with water and stood in the garden, holding the squirt gun, waiting for the arrival of the two-eared little bastard.

Three to five minutes later, the trotting couple appeared in Nanyi's sight.

"Stand there and don't move, I'll shoot if I go any further." Looking at the swarm of aggressive bees behind the two boys, Nan Yi shouted from afar.

The two boys stopped and looked at the water gun in Nanyi's hand, then looked at each other again, nodded at each other, and then split into two groups, attacking Nanyi quickly in a pincer shape.

"You are ruthless."

Nan Yi yelled and waved his hands to let the others flee in all directions. He himself got into the glass room next to him with a stride.

Seeing that Nanyi had already hid in the tortoise shell, the two primary school didn't feel upset, so they took the bee and stood in front of the door of the glass room, making faces at Nanyi inside.

"Lu Bu, your grandpa Zhang is here, come out." After making faces, Nan Wuwei reached out and patted the glass wall, shouting at Nanyi.

"I gave you a face, if you are naughty again, I will slap your butt swollen."

"Tyrant, we are not afraid." Nan Youqiong showed firm eyes, clenched his fist and raised his right hand, "Evil big capitalist, have you heard "The Internationale"?"
