Homo sapiens

Chapter 32 Expansion

Li Qingye took out a document from the drawer: "Xincheng, I have a new project here, please take a look first."

Fang Xincheng took the document and looked at it carefully.

The new project is called: the cultivation and deep processing of genetically modified Eucheuma.

Using genetic recombination technology, Eucheuma, a seaweed, is used as the mother parent, and genes from other plants are inserted. The transformed transgenic Eucheuma has the characteristics of rapid growth, large aggregate plants, high galactose content, high trehalose content, and straight-chain Characterized by high starch content.

Based on laboratory test results.

The yield of genetically modified Eucheuma per mu is 3,400 to 3,700 kilograms (wet weight). After removing the moisture, the dryness of the Eucheuma is 18 to 20% of the previous one.

Each acre of Eucheuma can extract 120 to 130 kilograms of amylose, 62 to 66 kilograms of trehalose, 340 to 370 kilograms of carrageenan, and 500 to 540 kilograms of plant fiber.

Moreover, the growth cycle of genetically modified eucheuma is relatively short. Native eucheuma can only be harvested twice a year in the Luzon Sea, while genetically modified eucheuma can be harvested four times a year.

This is because Li Qingye enhances the photosynthesis of Eucheuma, increases the coverage area of ​​the leaves, and forms huge leaves similar to the king lotus. By increasing the area, the purpose of improving photosynthesis is achieved.

Of course, this transformation is not without its shortcomings, that is, the genetically modified Eucheuma will absorb a large amount of nutrients from the seawater and block sunlight from reaching the seabed. For other seaweeds, it is simply a disaster.

This is just like in a tropical rain forest. Under those towering trees, other plants have basically no chance to get sunlight, so it is naturally difficult for them to survive.

In order to prevent this genetically modified eucheuma from flowing into the natural environment, Li Qingye made a lot of preparations in advance.

For example, genetic sterilization allows transgenic Eucheuma to divide cells to increase algae, but these cells cannot release reproductive spores;

Another example is to limit the life cycle of transgenic eucheuma so that it can only grow for 3 years. After 3 years, the transgenic eucheuma will no longer be able to divide cells and will completely wither and decompose.

This means that once genetically modified Eucheuma is planted, it can be harvested 12 times in 3 years.

"Boss, is this investment too big?" Fang Xincheng hesitated.

Li Qingye's plan is to build a 100,000-acre seaweed planting pond in Lima South Bay, south of Dart Harbor, with an investment of US$300 million.

In addition, a supporting refining plant must be built to extract amylose, trehalose, carrageenan and cellulose from Eucheuma, with an investment of approximately US$200 million.

100,000 acres of seaweed ponds, with an annual output of 1.36 million to 1.48 million tons of Eucheuma. From these Eucheuma, 48,000 to 52,000 tons of amylose, 24,800 to 26,400 tons of trehalose, and 136,000 to 148,000 tons of carrageenan can be extracted. 10,000 tons, and 200,000 to 216,000 tons of plant fiber.

These products can be used as raw materials or sold directly.

Currently, carrageenan is around US$10,000 per ton, trehalose is around US$1,000 per ton, and amylose is around US$250 to US$280 per ton.

These things are actually raw materials in food processing.

Cellulose can be used in paper making, fuel, and plastics.

The total investment is US$500 million, and the annual output value is approximately US$2 billion.

Li Qingye waved his hand: "Our company now has a cash flow of 1.1 billion US dollars, and investing 500 million is not too much. What's more, next year we can also obtain a large amount of funds from eel fry and eel breeding in a short time. There’s no need to worry about funding.”

Fang Xincheng asked worriedly: "Boss, will Luzon agree to the planting of genetically modified Eucheuma?"

"Don't worry, I'm a good friend of Ma Da from the Fernando family. He agreed to take a stake and help us solve all the local troubles." Li Qingye was confident about this.

After all, Ma Da is his person, and as for the Eucheuma cultivation and processing business, Homo Sapien Company will not exit directly, but through subsidiaries, and then absorb the funds of the Fernando family, in the form of a joint venture.

In this way, the people of Luzon appear to have a decent reputation, but in fact the subsidiary company still belongs to the Homo sapiens company.

Since Li Qingye was so confident, Fang Xincheng naturally didn't say anything. He asked, "So we need to set up a subsidiary. What does the boss plan to name this subsidiary?"

“Let’s call it Haitian Agricultural Company!”

"I understand, what is the ratio of the joint venture?"

"70% for us and 30% for the Fernando family."

The two of them discussed some details, and Fang Xincheng followed the plan and got the whole company busy.

The entire South Bay of Lima is not small. The outline of the bay is similar to a cloth bag. The outlet of the bay is on the north side. The length from north to south is about 38 kilometers, and the width from east to west is about 17 to 25 kilometers. The sea area is about 900 square kilometers, and the length of the coastline is about 120 kilometers.

Since the Eucheuma planting field needs to be built on the seaside, it naturally can only be chosen near the coastline.

With the help of Ma Da, Homo Sapiens Company quickly established Haitian Agriculture Company. The two parties completed the cooperation, and Ma Da became a private shareholder in Haitian Agriculture.

And Ma Da also has to pay some resources, such as helping Haitian Agriculture obtain 100,000 acres of coastal beach and wasteland for free, as well as 8,000 acres of land used to build a refining factory, and deal with local snakes and the like.

At the same time, with the cooperation of Feili's internal support department, Chen Jianxiong controlled the motor and secretly transferred some members of the gang controlled by the motor.

These selected gang members are all orphans and have committed heinous acts.

These people will be sent to Calagua Island one after another to undergo genetic modification and biochip implantation one by one. Finally, they will complete the training and then join the Security Department and the Internal Affairs Department.

Through this hidden absorption, the power in the hands of the motor is gradually transforming into the power of the Homo sapiens company.

In order to deliver benefits to Ma Ma and enhance his voice in the family, Li Qingye also used engineering contracting as a prestige to give Haitian Agriculture's planting pond construction project to an engineering company under Ma Ma's name.

After all, whoever makes money is not making money, but giving it to Motor Company is rotten meat in his own pot, turning left hand to right hand, and a large part of the funds return to his own system.

Moreover, for the motor company, Homo sapiens company can also use strict monitoring methods, so there is no need to worry about the engineering company cutting corners.

After all, even the other party's boss is one of his own. If there are still people who dare to cut corners, then Li Qingye will admire the other party as a person who wants money rather than his life. By the way, he will prepare gasoline barrels and concrete for them and let them go to the Luzon Trench to calm down. calm.

Since Homo sapiens is very low-key, Motor has also suppressed information about this project.

As local gangsters, it is quite easy for the Fernando family to suppress some news.

The engineering company that received the funds quickly completed the land acquisition and started construction.

On the other side, Fang Xincheng also found the relevant company contracting the factory and asked them to design a comprehensive factory that can refine amylose, carrageenan, trehalose and cellulose.

Moreover, the production scale requirements of the factory are relatively high. At full capacity, it can produce 200,000 tons of amylose, 400,000 tons of carrageenan, 100,000 tons of trehalose, and 1 million tons of cellulose every year.

Although the current production of 100,000 acres of seaweed fields cannot meet the needs of the factory, this is preparation in advance for future increase in production.

As long as there are no accidents in the eel industry, Haitian Company can invest in expanding the seaweed field by another 100,000 acres next year.
