The reason why Nasser's father changed his attitude 180 degrees, from trying his best to fight against the United States, to signing a US dollar settlement of oil with the United States, was mainly because someone in the royal family had a plan and almost succeeded in assassinating him.

Once the old man suspected that the kidnapping of the Getty family was related to Li Changheng and major oil companies.

As long as the price or conditions offered by Li Changheng are suitable, it is really possible for him to get the ownership or shares of the oil field.

Nasser looked at Li Changheng's half-hearted smile, and immediately regretted his easy promise to help.

But the words had already been spoken, Nasser not only did not dare to repent, but also knew that the consequences of angering Li Changheng would be very serious.

And when he thought that he could become a shareholder of Citigroup like Frank Abagnale.

Nasser had to comfort himself thinking that being able to invest in Citigroup, one of the top three banks in the United States, is to some extent equivalent to obtaining the protection of a very powerful force in the United States.

In the future, if someone in the royal family wants to replace their family, it will definitely be much easier to ask Li Changheng and Citi for help.

Even just taking a stake in Citigroup can frighten the restless members of the family.

Thinking of this, while looking forward to becoming a shareholder of Citigroup, Nasser suppressed the uneasiness of not knowing what Li Changheng would do to him.

With a stiff and nervous smile, he accompanied Li Changheng, Anne and a dozen scientists.

Unsurprisingly, U.S. agricultural and technology officials who strongly demanded to join the vertical farm project walked into the farm transformed from a warehouse.

Li Changheng, who felt that the time was too late, did not manage Nasser, but chatted with the officials of the US Department of Agriculture for a while, because it was related to his own interests, he did not hesitate at all, and directly asked for policies.

And it was so shameless that Nasser invested more than 10 million yuan under the banner of his own vertical farm company.

In this way, it is not a joke to invest more than 15 million US dollars before and after.

And because the vertical farm is indeed a cutting-edge scientific research project, even if Li Changheng doesn't mention it, at least the New Jersey government will definitely give some support policies.

But if you lobby Congress, the benefits are even greater.

And those officials, although they knew that Li Changheng had secretly changed the concept, they didn't plan to expose it.

After all, Li Changheng wanted more preferential policies, which had nothing to do with them. He promised on the spot that he would strongly suggest that the relevant review committees increase their support.

After thanking Li Changheng with a smile, he silently thought about who he could find to lobby the members of the review committee.

Then began to listen to more than a dozen experts in agriculture, machinery and management to introduce the construction progress and production plan of the farm.

After viewing 40 automated pallet lifters that are 6 meters high and 20 meters long, Li Changheng has to admit that the United States is indeed very strong in mechanical technology.

Regardless of the cost, this farm even made him feel more advanced than the vertical farms he saw on the Internet in the future in his memory.

Moreover, the supply method of water supply and nutrient solution directly skips hydroponics and makes a root atomization system.

While saving more water, it also allows the roots of crops to obtain more oxygen and nutrients.

At the same time, the atomization system is turned on regularly, and the data generated by temperature, humidity, automation and other technologies not only require computer and automation technology, but also can promote the development of the semiconductor industry.

As long as there is market demand, there will definitely be companies willing to help with research and development. For Intel, it means obtaining a stable and long-term customer.

Thinking that he should also find some time, after going to Intel to have a look, Li Changheng's attention was quickly attracted when he heard the experts around him talk about the estimated revenue of the farm.

Although the investment in the farm is huge, after calculation, each warehouse can provide about 650,000 pounds of lettuce, which is almost 300 tons per year.

According to major media reports, lettuce, strawberries, blueberries, cabbage, tomatoes, sweet green peppers and other vegetables and fruits suitable for farm cultivation are definitely the top varieties in terms of pesticide usage in the United States.

In the United States, it is not uncommon for the prices of green and pesticide-containing vegetables and fruits to differ by several times, or even ten times.

Otherwise, the major farms in the United States will not try their best to apply for green certification.

After asking Annie, Li Changheng quickly learned that ordinary lettuce in New York costs about US$0.1, but green lettuce costs US$0.4 a pound.

Calculated at the price of 0.4 US dollars, the annual income of a warehouse is 260,000 US dollars.

12 warehouses are 3.12 million.

After deducting labor, water and electricity, and other costs, it is equivalent to recovering the investment of the farm in about 7 to 8 years.

This return on investment is not bad even compared with many listed companies.

Otherwise, Nasser wouldn't be so stupid, investing tens of millions of dollars without investigating anything, and giving it away for nothing.

Of course, green vegetables and fruits are always a food that only a small number of people can eat all year round, no matter in the future China, or in the United States, island countries, or even South Korea.

After Li Changheng listened to the report, he suddenly thought in his heart, let HL Media do a report on green food.

I don’t ask everyone to accept the farm’s fruits and vegetables, but to frighten the rich, the 3,600 tons of lettuce produced by the farm each year should not be difficult to sell.

Moreover, he also plans to combine the automatic farm with the greenhouse, and build a vegetable and fruit base in the greenhouse.

This kind of production model with low investment cost should soon be favored by many capitals.

While the farm has a new source of profit, more fruits and vegetables are produced by the same model, and the acceptance of Americans will also become stronger.

Besides, even if you don’t do it yourself, after the vertical farm automation equipment is known to the outside world, there will definitely be smart people who will think of the idea of ​​combining automatic farms and greenhouses.

And invest tens of thousands of dollars to try it out, let alone a few big food giants, even some big farmers can try it out by themselves.

And the idea of ​​greenhouse vegetables and fruits~lightnovelpub.net~ quickly caught the eyes of Nasser, various experts, and officials of the agricultural department.

The investment cost is lower than that of vertical farms, and it can produce in winter. Automation also saves labor, which sounds very attractive.

As for the need for higher and more refined management, it was directly ignored by the people present.

After earning a lot of attention and admiration, due to management reasons, Li Changheng quickly thought of Claire Wood of the "Clean Water Project" fund.

Wife of South Carolina Senator Francis Wood.

Claire has presided over the research and development of the nutrient solution project before, and there is no problem in terms of ability and professionalism.

It can also take advantage of the convenience of Laclere's entry into the vertical farm, so Francis Wood has to do his best to help the farm pull policies.

Moreover, the gimmick of new agriculture and technological agriculture is a sharp weapon for politicians to gain attention.
