Outsiders can't believe it, but Li Changheng prefers Rockefeller, who is weaker and will continue to be weaker in the future, than allowing Morgan Stanley to get more shares in HL Media.

Then, because Andre had money in his hands, Li Changheng's choice among Andre and his family was in favor of Andre.

This allowed him to take an additional 0.18% of HL Media shares.

The next day, I took Annie to Jersey City, New Jersey, across the river from Manhattan, to inspect the construction of the vertical farm.

The location was chosen in Jersey City, and besides the fact that it is only 30 minutes away from Manhattan, I thought Jersey City was full of abandoned land and warehouses.

It can be said that just across the Hudson, Manhattan is heaven, and the other side is the countryside forgotten by God.

Even after the new century, Jersey City only has a limited area along the Hudson River, and it really looks like a modern city.

But in the 1970s, it would not be wrong to say that Jersey City was the country of the West and a transit point for all kinds of products entering New York.

And with the outbreak of the oil crisis, massive unemployment and inflation, even New York is not doing very well, let alone Jersey City.

Li Changheng only spent 4 million US dollars to easily buy a warehouse group the size of 8 football fields.

Of the 12 warehouses, only 4 were planned to be remodeled, but with the participation of desert tyrants.

Not only did he not spend any money on the renovation, but he was also sponsored by local tyrants, and he was responsible for finding designers and construction teams.

Under the 24-hour shift construction regardless of cost, Li Changheng, who entered the warehouse group for the first time in just two weeks, seemed to have entered a modern vertical farm in the future.

As for Annie, she held Li Changheng's hand tightly like a primary school student walking into a science and technology city.

"Henry, this way."

Looking up into the distance, I was surprised to see that Nasser was wearing a white coat, leading a dozen middle-aged or old men walking towards him quickly.

Annie and Nasser have been acquaintances for a long time, and after saying hello, I heard Nasser complain, "Let's do the math, just the LED fluorescent lights in a warehouse need to invest about 800,000 US dollars.

And if such a warehouse is built with a 5-story structure, it can only be counted as a land output of about 30 mu.

In other words, the investment per mu is at least more than 45,000 US dollars. With this money, you can buy dozens or even a hundred times the land in the United States. "

After finishing speaking, Nasser looked at Li Changheng seriously and asked, "Dude, do you really think that vertical farms are necessary for large-scale development?"

Li Changheng calculated in his mind, that is to say, Nasser spent at least tens of millions of dollars on his 12 warehouses.

No wonder he was so entangled and dissatisfied.

If this is promoted in desert areas on a large scale, no matter how rich the local tyrants are, they will not be able to afford such a high cost.

Besides, they are not stupid. Spending money to buy land in the United States and the Kangaroo Country not only has a stable output, but the land is also a real wealth that can be passed down.

As for LED lights, this thing has been proposed as early as the 1940s, and it has already been produced in 1962.

In addition to immature technology, the biggest reason why it cannot be promoted is that it is too expensive.

Therefore, in addition to LED lights, 12 farms are also experimenting with the effects of fluorescent lights and incandescent lights on crop growth.

Li Changheng actually knew that the effect of incandescent lamps must be the worst, and fluorescent lamps can only be said to be reluctant, but he will not say it now.

But he knew better that the special tobacco farm he and Barney met back then used huge heat-generating incandescent lamps.

The special tobacco farms that the DEA has uncovered in recent years, and the data collected also show that both incandescent and fluorescent lights are useful for plant growth.

And because of heat dissipation, those tobacco farms in the United States have already used fluorescent lights and LED lights on a large scale.

In addition to avoiding DEA's heat source detectors, the biggest reason why tobacco companies use LED lights is that special tobacco has extremely high returns.

For a country with a small population and a large land like the United States, vertical farms are not necessary.

But for the local tyrants in the desert, if they continue to study, it is related to whether they can self-sufficiently produce a deadly technology.

Besides, HL Media has been merged. If Li Changheng had not had a huge interest relationship with Nasser and several other local tyrants, he would have thrown the local tyrants aside long ago and ignored them.

But just looking at the local tyrants, who deposit 50 billion U.S. dollars in Citigroup every year, they have to appease Nasser no matter what.

After thinking about it, Li Changheng said solemnly, "Vertical farms can be planted in four seasons, and if managed properly, the growth time of crops such as lettuce and small tomatoes will be lower than that of crops under natural conditions.

From this point of view, the actual utilization rate of vertical farms will at least double. and,,"

Having said that, Li Changheng looked at the group of scientists behind Nasser, and pulled Anne and Nasser aside.

He whispered, "Dude, I can be sure that LED lights will be a new outlet in the future, and solar panels will also be a new investment direction in the future.

Therefore, although your current investment seems to be suffering serious losses, as long as there are breakthroughs in these two technologies, even if it costs 100 million or 500 million, I think it is acceptable. "

Faq, Nasser cursed secretly in his heart, but the expression on his face relaxed.

If someone else said this, he would definitely spit on the other person's face, and then tell the other person to leave.

But if it was Li Changheng, Nasser didn't even doubt it, he just believed it.

Moreover, when you think of the situation in desert areas, it is indeed very suitable for the development of solar energy.

"You didn't lie to me?"

Li Changheng smiled and shrugged. Hearing Nasser's tone, he knew that this guy was moved.

And I really didn't lie to him, LED technology can not only be used for lighting, flat panel display is still a bit too far, but for medical devices, LED technology has been used in this era.

Otherwise, medical devices cannot be so expensive.

Although I can't make much money ~lightnovelpub.net~ but a little return is also good.

As for solar energy, the prospects are indeed very good, but in terms of the technological level of this era and the overall technological level, it is a huge pit.

But even the tiankeng, the United States and other countries that have suffered due to the oil crisis have already invested huge funds and research and development resources in it.

As far as Li Changheng knows, the laboratory led by Exxon Petroleum has reduced the cost from US$100 per watt to US$20.

Even the United States has planned to formally establish a renewable energy laboratory next year.

At this time, Nasser joined in, and the financial loss may indeed be quite large, but the political and technical returns may be far greater than the billion-dollar loss.

Of course, if the Americans play tricks and don't share the technology they have developed with local tyrants, then they will ignore Li Changheng's business.

And if something can be researched, the rewards will be amazing.
