The journey starts from the Titanic
The journey begins with the Titanic Chapter 575
"Yeah." He Xiangu nodded, realizing that Situ Nan had something to discuss with Han Gang and the others, so she left with interest.
"Sweet...sweet!" Wu Sinan said milkily, struggling from Situ Nan's arms to go to He Xiangu.
"You little greedy ghost!" He Xiangu smiled back and took Wu Sinan away from Situ Nan's arms.She had an affinity for her, and she was entangled by Wu Sinan in just a few days.
After He Xiangu left, Situ Nan looked upright and said to Han Gang: "Their wife is here. I am a little worried. You can take care of it in the future."
Situ Nan finished speaking and looked at Wu Manli. Although she knew she would not be in danger, she still couldn't help but urge Han Gang.
"Master, don't worry. As long as I am here, no one can touch the young grandma and the young master!" Han Gang promised.
"Yeah." Situ Nan nodded, satisfied with Han Gang's attitude, and said again, "I am worried because Manli will be responsible for Nanhua's intelligence work and it is easier to offend people."
Han Gang was taken aback for a moment. He looked at Wu Manli who was sitting next to Situ Nan. He realized that this charming woman was a vicious female scorpion, and immediately said, "I know what to do."
"General Han, I will be taken care of in the future." Wu Manli smiled and committed a blessing slightly.
After receiving Situ Nan's invitation, Reyes was very excited, sitting in the car at the moment, his face glowing red and smiling occasionally.
He looked at his daughter Lilith next to him, feeling unspeakable pride in his heart.The appearance of youth, the diligent and kind-hearted character, is really cheap for the kid Han Gang.
But the idiot kid didn't work hard on the farm at the beginning, and it was correct to go to Los Angeles to make trouble, otherwise how could he become a majestic general now?
Jakarta is not beautiful at all, the smoke of war has not completely dissipated, the city is full of smoke and dust, and bulldozers are roaring to clean up the downside-down houses.
In Reyes' eyes, and in his heart, from destruction to construction, Jakarta has many opportunities.
"Lilith, what do you think of this place?" Reyes asked with a smile.
"It's hotter than the United States, and it's not as good as an American farm." Lilith frowned slightly.
"I don't sell the farm, how can you come here?" Reyes smiled disapprovingly, "I wonder, there will be a very good future waiting for us here. I have prepared a dowry for you. In a few days, I will let you marry gracefully. It's cheap for that kid."
"Dad, I love you!" Lilith smiled happily.
In the evening, Situ Nan was entertaining the father and daughter of Reyes. From the first glance, Situ Nan could see that Reyes was a shrewd old man, and Lilith was a warm and cheerful girl, much like Xiangu He.
Like most Latin Americans, Mexicans are a mixture of Spanish whites and Native Americans. Since Lilith has a tall white woman, three-dimensional silhouette, and slightly brown skin, she also looks quite elastic.
Situ Nan secretly praised, no wonder many Miss World will be out of Latin America in the future.
"Lilith is really a nice girl, you kid should cherish it." Situ Nan said to Han Gang.
"Yeah." Han Gang smiled honestly, nodded, and was busy picking up vegetables for his wife.
After drinking and eating, Situ Nan had time to take care of the bad old man Reyes and slowly talk about business.
"Mr. Reyes, you just came from the United States, can you talk about the situation in the United States?"
Situ Nan poured wine to Reyes, then toasted and took a sip.
Jakarta has no change in the winter and summer seasons, and the difference is pretty good almost every day. It is the same at 20 degrees all year round. The only difference is whether it rains or does not rain.On this hot day, drinking a glass of frozen beer couldn't be the most comfortable.
"The situation is not so good. The prices of agricultural products have been falling. I lost a lot last year." Reyes sighed, thinking of the hundreds of tons of food sold at low prices, and he couldn't help but feel heartache.
"Oh!" Situ Nan nodded understandingly. His profitability in the American Stony Agricultural Company has not been ideal in recent years. However, due to its huge scale, large-scale use of machine farming and large-scale use of chemical fertilizers, the production efficiency is lower than ordinary ones. The farm is much taller, and it will not suffer losses. It is not as profitable as the auto and oil industries.
"I heard that you want to develop here. I just have an investment plan. If possible, we can become partners." Situ Nan said again.
"Oh?" Reyes laughed as soon as he heard it. Before he could speak, the other party offered to offer it. He couldn't help but looked at Situ Nan with some gratitude. After all, the status of the two was too far apart.
"Can you talk about the plan?" Reyes asked.
"Of course. Look at this. It's very interesting." Situ Nan smiled and handed a yellow fruit to Reyes, and asked He Yongyuan to come over for the information.
"Is this?" Reyes looked at the yellow glossy fruit the size of a dove egg, a little curious.He seems to have never seen such a thing.
"Could it be that the tree at the door was picked off?" Reyes remembered. When he first came in, there were a few scenic trees at the door, and there were clusters of fruit on the trees.
"That's right! This fruit is called palm fruit, which is picked from oil palm. It tastes good!" Situ Nan nodded with a smile, peeled off a palm fruit and ate it.
The pulp is oily but not greasy, fragrant and refreshing. The taste is very good. It has some rough fibers and feels stuffy, but it can just promote digestion.
Seeing Situ Nan's look of enjoyment, Reyes also tasted one, and it felt pretty good.
"Sir, are you talking about this tropical fruit?" Reyes looked at Situ Nan suspiciously.Although the palm fruit tastes good, as a fruit... Reyes asked a question mark in his heart.
"This is not a fruit, but a very valuable crop. Don't you think it is rich in oil?" Situ Nan reminded.
"It is hot and rainy all year round. This climate is very suitable for the growth of oil palm. Oil palm is a rare economic crop. Oil palm was introduced here in 1870 as a decorative plant. No one has discovered its value.
Its value lies in oil!The oil squeezed from the oil palm kernel can be used as edible oil instead of peanut oil, rapeseed oil, olive oil, and used to produce butter.
In addition to food, palm oil produced from palm can also be used to make fertilizers, soaps, cosmetics, etc., with good economic benefits, comparable to rubber.Of course, it can also be used to produce other products, you will know by looking at this too."
Situ Nan received the oil palm planting investigation report from He Yongyuan and handed him to Reyes.
Reyes was straightforward at a glance. The report reads: Oil palm fruit contains more than 50% oil and is the crop with the highest oil content found so far.
An oil palm can produce 30-40 kilograms of oil per year and 100-200 kilograms per mu. The oil yield per mu is 2-3 times that of coconuts and 7-8 times that of peanuts...
"Isn't planting an oil palm equivalent to opening an oil field?" Reyes looked at Situ Nan in surprise.
Situ Nan smiled and nodded, and explained: "This report is the latest research produced by Meihua Company's laboratory. There is only one copy in the world. At present, only Meihua Company cultivates oil palm on a large scale in the world.
Our planting base is in Malaya across the Strait, but here is almost blank. I think you should understand the business opportunities?"
Chapter 123
Situ Nan is of course not fooling Reyes, oil palm has great economic value.
In his previous life, Malaysia was the world's largest oil palm planting country, producing more than 20 million tons of palm oil annually, with an output value of up to tens of billions of dollars!
Indonesia's oil palm industry came from behind, surpassing Malaysia to become the world's largest palm oil country.Nowadays, many cash crops are grown on the Indonesian archipelago, most of which are spice, the product of the Dutch forced planting system. The oil palm plantation industry has not yet formed a scale.
Oil palm is a new type of agricultural economy that Situ Nan personally selected for South China. It can be grown on a large scale and has a high degree of commercialization, which is different from the small-scale farm operation mode of those Chinese.
The development of the oil palm industry not only controls the supply of oil in Nanyang through oil extraction, but also develops a series of industries such as fertilizer, soap, and paper.
In this era when most households are short of cooking oil, even if the Indonesian archipelago is full of oil palm, the palm oil produced is in short supply.
Moreover, for Nanhua to achieve rapid industrialization, a huge amount of capital is needed. The shortage of palm oil can be exchanged for a large amount of foreign exchange to purchase foreign machinery and equipment.
There is another reason why Situ Nan did not say that both oil palm and rubber require a large amount of labor, which can meet the job needs of Chinese immigrants in China in the future.
At the same time, by controlling these hundreds of thousands of workers, the Meihua Company has also established a reserve service invisibly to ensure that the strength of the South China Chinese is concentrated and will not be scattered and destroyed.
Compared with allocating land to Chinese workers or domestic immigrants, Situ Nan prefers to let them become hired workers and become members of the large-scale production chain.
