In the southern part of Cannia, a small town is less than 200 kilometers away from the City of Civilized Science.

Compared with cities like Sogli, this town evolved completely based on the distinctive African tribes.

In the town, in addition to sporadic modern buildings and brick-paved roads, there are also a large number of Cannia's unique "ethnic style" buildings - cylindrical low earthen houses.

On this day, this small town called Nivada welcomed several special guests.

They uniformly wore straight suits and took arc cars, drove from the newly built highway to the town of Nivada, and met the mayor, or chief of the town.

In Cannia, there are many such tribes. They are distributed throughout Cannia and control most of the resources in Cannia, including arable land resources.

Inside the mayor's office.

A man in a suit is acting as a lobbyist.

"...Mr. Mayor, as I said just now, our company is willing to buy your farmland at a high price."

After saying that, the man in the suit who had been a lobbyist for a long time took a sip of tea.

Lenier was a little hesitant. It is true that, as the man in the suit said, Universal Agriculture was willing to pay high prices to buy their uncultivated land, but that land was the property inherited from their family era.

His behavior is a bit unfair to the people in the family.

The man in the suit saw that the old black man was a little moved, and he knew in his heart that the other party was already moved. The reason for hesitation was that the chips were not enough.

In other words, you have to add money!

And given the strength of the capital behind Huanyu Agriculture Company, is it still a matter of adding some money?

Obviously not called.

Therefore, most of the arable land belonging to the small town of Nivada was acquired by Universal Agriculture Company.

Unlike the domestic situation, most of the land in Cania is owned by privately, or in other words, it is in the hands of the tribe chief.

To be honest, these tribal chiefs are somewhat similar to the landlords and gentry in ancient China, and are even bigger in terms of power.

After agreeing to the price of Universal Agriculture, Lenier specifically emphasized: "I only accept US dollars or gold payments, I don't want the Xia Yuan currency."

Hearing this, the man in the suit was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course."

Although Xia Yuan is the only legal currency issued by the Cannian government, it is still boycotted by major forces in Cannian.

They were unwilling to accept Xia Yuan, believing that it had no security.

Lu Chen was not in a hurry to this situation.

After all, the national conditions of Kania are different from those of China, and the Kania government does not have that great ability, so it forced everyone to use Xia Yuan at once.

A scene that happened in the town of Nivada was happening everywhere in Kanya.

Since Chensheng Construction took over the Kanya government's infrastructure project order, Universal Agriculture Company has followed closely and acquired uncultivated land nationwide.

The plan to acquire arable land is much less resistance than Lu Chen and others expected.

Although the chiefs and government of Cannia did not know why Lu Chen had to acquire so much uncultivated land.

But since Lu Chen originally intended to pay the money, they naturally intended to sell the arable land.

Anyway, it is a waste to put it there, and it is also good to be able to sell some money.

......

Civilized Science City.

In Lu Chen’s private manor.

Qin Ruolan, who had been busy with the land acquisition plan, began to report to Lu Chen.

"According to your request, we have acquired a total of 9.74 million mu of arable land in Cannia, spending a total of 4.36 billion US dollars..."

“Is there less than ten million acres of arable land?”

Lu Chen murmured, "How much does it account for?"

“31.4%.”

It purchased 31.4% of the cultivated land area of ​​the entire Cannia for US$4.36 billion, which is an unprecedented big deal.

Some of these arable lands were purchased from the Cannian government, some were purchased from the Cannian chiefs, and some were simply purchased from ordinary Cannians, but the land in ordinary people was too small to be ignored.

After a crazy purchase of land, Lu Chen became the largest landlord in Kania, no doubt about it.

After listening to Qin Ruolan's report, Lu Chen nodded with satisfaction: "The acquisition of arable land can be temporarily concluded. The core of our task is to build water conservancy projects, and we must ensure that all the arable land in our hands can be irrigated with enough water."

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhou personally took charge of the water conservancy project matters."

Hearing this, Lu Chen nodded slightly. He still trusted Zhou Lin's ability very much.

Almost all Lu Chen’s projects in Cannia were handled by Zhou Lin.

At present, among his forces, Zhou Lin's importance is definitely among the top ten.

"In addition to water conservancy projects, our agricultural satellites have also been developed. The rest of the work is to send our agricultural satellites to the sky. Are there any suitable private rocket launchers in China?"

Qin Ruolan thought for a while: "Although the country has relaxed its private rocket launch business as early as 2014, there are currently few private rocket launch companies, and their rocket launch capabilities cannot meet the requirements of our agricultural satellites."

"well!"

Lu Chen rubbed his head, "The Jiuquan Launch Center will be queued for five or six years later. No, we can't wait!"

Compared with the United States, China's private rocket companies are indeed much behind.

First, the release date is relatively late, and second, the rocket launch is a technical job after all, and without sufficient technical accumulation and financial support, it is too difficult to achieve success.

In this regard, Spacex's innate conditions are much better. Not only is it released early, but it also has the technical support provided by Nasa and the financial support of the consortium behind it.

In this regard, the Huaguo private rocket company that fights alone is not as good as that.

However, since Lu Chen said that he could not wait, he must have planned to launch the rocket himself.

If you want to launch a rocket, there must be three prerequisites.

[Receive cash red envelope] You can get cash by reading books! Follow WeChat. Official account [Book Friends Base Camp], cash/point coins are waiting for you to get!

First, industrial foundation.

Second, professional talents.

Third, have money.

And Lu Chen has no shortage of these three points.

Not only is there no shortage, he also has plug-in support, so he is not only confident in launching rockets, but also has a speed that will definitely be faster than anyone expected.

Yes, he is going to cheat again on the rocket launch.

Because the importance of satellites is too great.

Universal Agriculture Company's unmanned agriculture requires satellites, civil communication requires satellites, and even military satellites.

Therefore, launching satellites is imminent for Lu Chen.

He could not queue up with domestic private enterprises in China Aerospace. He could not wait for five or six years.

As for why not look for spacex and other foreign rocket companies, well, because there are more orders in line for it.
