Remember [New] for a second,! 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, is mainly because someone in the royal family planned and almost succeeded in assassinating him.

Once the old man suspects the kidnapping of the Getty family, it has something to do with Li Changheng and major oil companies.

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

Nasser looked at Li Changheng's seemingly vague smile, and immediately regretted his promise to easily agree to help.

But the words have already been said. If he regrets it, Nasser not only dares not, but also understands that the consequences of angering Li Changheng will be very serious.

And the thought of being a Citi shareholder like Frank Abanel.

Nasser had to comfort himself to think that being able to take a stake in Citi, one of the top three banks in the United States, was 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 be much easier to ask Li Changheng and Citi for help.

Even just taking a stake in Citi can scare off restless members of the family.

Thinking of this, Nasser looked forward to becoming a shareholder of Citi, while holding back the uneasiness of not knowing what Li Changheng would do to him.

With a bit of stiffness and tension in his smile, he accompanied Li Changheng, Annie and a dozen scientists.

And unsurprisingly, U.S. agriculture and technology officials, who strongly urged to join the vertical farm project, walked into the farm converted from a warehouse.

Li Changheng, who felt that the time was not enough, did not care about Nasser, but after chatting with officials of the U.S. Department of Agriculture for a while, because it was related to his own interests, he did not hesitate at all, and directly asked for a policy.

And it's shameless to put Nasser's investment of more than 10 million under his own vertical farm company.

In this case, the investment of more than 15 million US dollars before and after is not a joke.

And because vertical farms are indeed the most cutting-edge scientific research projects, even if Li Changheng does not mention it, at least the New Jersey government will definitely give some supportive 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, did not intend to expose it.

After all, Li Changheng wanted more preferential policies, and it had nothing to do with them. He promised on the spot that he would strongly advise the relevant audit committee to increase support.

After Li Changheng thanked him with a smile, he thought silently about who to find to lobby the members of the audit 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 watching the 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.

With the investment regardless of cost, this farm even made him feel that it was more advanced than the vertical farms that he could see 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 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 requires 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 gaining a stable and long-term customer.

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

Although the input of the farm is huge, after calculation, each warehouse can provide about 650,000 pounds, or almost 300 tons of lettuce 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 highest in the use of pesticides in the United States.

In the United States, the price difference between green vegetables and fruits with pesticides is several times, or even ten times.

Otherwise, the major farms in the United States will not do everything possible to apply for green certification.

When I asked Annie, Li Changheng quickly learned that the average lettuce in New York is about 0.1 US dollars, but the green lettuce costs 0.4 US dollars a pound.

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

12 warehouses is 3.12 million.

After deducting labor, water, electricity, and other costs, it is equal to about 7-8 years to recover the investment of the farm.

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

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

Of course, whether it is the future celestial dynasty, or the United States, island countries, or even South Korea, green vegetables and fruits are always the food that a small number of people can eat all year round.

After Li Changheng listened to the report, he suddenly thought, let hl media do a report on green food.

I don’t ask everyone to accept the farm’s fruits and vegetables, but to scare 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 then build a greenhouse vegetable and fruit base.

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

At the same time that the farm has a new source of profit, more fruits and vegetables are produced in the same model, and the American people's ability to accept it will also become stronger.

Besides, even if you don't do it yourself, when the vertical farm automation equipment is known to the outside world, there will definitely be smart people who will come up with the idea of ​​combining automatic farms and greenhouses~lightnovelpub.net~ and invest tens of thousands of dollars to give it a try, let alone There are several big food giants, and even some big farmers can try it out for themselves.

The idea of ​​greenhouse vegetables and fruits quickly caught the eye of Nasser, various experts, and officials of the agricultural sector.

The investment cost is lower than the vertical farm, and it can produce in winter, and automation also saves labor, which sounds really attractive.

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

After earning a wave of eyeballs and admiration, Li Changheng quickly thought of Claire Wood of the 'Water Purification Project' fund for management reasons.

That is the 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 is also possible to take advantage of the convenience of LaClair's entry into vertical farms, so that Francis Wood has to do his best to help the farms pull policies.

Moreover, the gimmick of new agriculture and technology agriculture is a weapon for politicians to earn eyeballs.
