The Book of Mountains and Seas Takes Me to Get Rich

Fangyuan really likes this technology more and more, because it is especially suitable for them.

Soilless cultivation technology can theoretically cultivate all plants, but it is more effective for flowers and vegetables, especially green leafy vegetables, which have high yields and grow quickly.For things like melons and fruits, the cultivation effect is not so good.

But it is very suitable for pharmaceutical companies!Their pharmaceutical factory now focuses on Zhuyu grass, Tuo beans and Xunyao grass. Among them, Tuo beans belong to the legume family and cannot be completely hydroponics.But Zhu Yucao and Xun Yaocao can do it!

Zhuyu grass, Xun grass and Yao grass are unique weeds in the wild world. They are vigorous and the plants are not tall, so they are especially suitable for multi-layer planting.As long as there are enough seeds, a suitable nutrient solution, and some perforated floating boards, you can harvest a crop in 20 days!

What's more, the attributes of Zhuyu Grass and Xunyao Grass are very similar to leeks. After cutting a stubble, it can continue to grow! !

If their factory had a vertical farm with more than a dozen floors, and each floor was planted with densely packed raw materials using soilless cultivation techniques... Even Fang Yuan, who is not a serious dense phobia patient, would feel comfortable seeing that scene Cool enough to heal, okay?

When he bought the land in the west of the city, Fangyuan had a lot of surplus.Now they have five factory buildings, but there is still nearly half of the vacant land in the factory.

They may not have enough raw materials on this land, but it is more than enough to build a vertical farm!

Besides, what do their pharmaceutical companies need most now?Not an ingredient yet?

The purchase of the three products in the factory has been restricted all the time, why?Isn't it because the raw materials are not enough?

If they don't store some raw materials for winter, they are afraid that the pharmaceutical factory will stop production when the weather is cold, will they limit the purchase?

Wang Tao said before that if the raw materials are sufficient, their sales may increase by a quarter compared to now!That's hundreds of millions a year!

If used to invest in the foundation, how much more good can the money do?

Fang Yuan got excited, and discussed with Ai Mang all night while looking for information.The next morning, the eyes were blue, but the spirit was extremely excited.

In the next ten days, Fang Yuan took Ai Mang together, asked Professor Liu of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences to lead him, and went to several places to learn about the vertical farm.

Lion City is abroad, so it is difficult to go there right away; Sam's Country is similar.

But I heard that there is a vertical rice field in Hong Kong City, so Fang Yuan took Professor Liu and Ai Mang there with great interest.

As a result, there are joys and sorrows.

On the one hand, the soilless cultivation technology has been developed for several decades since its inception to the present, and it is actually very mature.However, the concept of vertical farms has not been around for a long time, and the supporting technologies are still immature.Due to the limitations of today's technology, it may really be done, and it may face various unexpected problems in the future.

The port city really wants to introduce this technology, but the cost is astonishingly high, and there are various technical difficulties, so there is no real high-rise vertical farm built.

Now without examples, hidden dangers cannot be found, and the construction cost is so high... Many consortiums have various concerns, so this concept is just a concept, and has never really created an entity.

Simple soilless cultivation technology is widely used, but they are all bungalows built on flat ground, or there are quite a few greenhouses built on the top of skyscrapers.Many of the stands are very high, and they also cultivate plants in multiple layers, but most of the light sources use natural light.As mentioned in the concept, the method of using artificial light instead of natural light for photosynthesis in a large area has not been tested.

Professionals in Hong Kong City also said that the land in Hong Kong City is too valuable. If you spend a lot of money to build a vertical farm, without knowing what unexpected problems will arise, the huge initial investment costs are likely to drag down the farm. a business.So their port city needs this technology so much, there is still no group that can make up their minds to give it a try.

Fangyuan chatted with the professionals in Hong Kong for a long time, and after careful consideration and discussion with Aimang after returning, he decided to build one and try it out.

Hong Kong City has a small population with a large population and expensive land, so it is understandable not to dare to try.But their pharmaceutical factory is backed by such a vast land for planting flowers, and they already have hundreds of acres of vacant land in their hands, why not do it?

Even if the farm finds some unexpected problems in the future, judging from the profit margin of their products, if some losses are caused by these problems in the future, Fang Yuan feels that their pharmaceutical factory can still bear it.

Now that he has made up his mind, Fang Yuan has no hesitation, just do it!

So on the third day after Fangyuan returned to City A, he made an appointment with senior engineers from the Design Institute and professors from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences to formally approve the project.

Now that they decided to do it, a group of people quickly came up with a set of specific plans.

Vertical farms are not easy to do. One of the difficulties is that the lighting of high-rise buildings is seriously insufficient.It is okay to cultivate shade-tolerant plants, but for sun-loving plants such as Zhuyucao and Xunyaocao, it is necessary to install a large number of LED plant growth lights as illuminants to meet the conditions they use for photosynthesis.

A large number of lamps require a large amount of electricity to drive.

LED lights are already very energy-saving light sources, but to achieve continuous light throughout the day, the power consumption is also very considerable.

The solution is not without it, and that is to install large-scale solar power panels.

After Fangyuan came back, he did some calculations, and then contacted professionals for consultation.The current solar photovoltaic panels have a higher production capacity than he imagined.

With the current scale of their factory, if all the roofs and exterior walls of all buildings are replaced with solar panels, and the outside of the workshop that does not need windows is completely wrapped with a layer of solar panels, it can basically solve at least the electricity consumption of the farm. 60%.

Fang Yuan was afraid that his calculations were inaccurate, so he went to the design institute again, and the result was better than he expected - if the scale of the vertical farm of the pharmaceutical factory is not too large, and all energy-saving LED lights are used, then the laying Large-scale solar panels can basically supply 80% of the electricity consumption of this vertical farm!

The things are very good, the technology is advanced, and it can solve more than half of their electricity problems, but the cost is expensive.

If Fangyuan's plan is achieved, they will plant more than 600 mu of land, and install photovoltaic panels on the surface of the factory buildings, the roofs of various buildings, and a small amount of open space, and about 60 square meters of power generation panels can be laid.

The cost of purchasing photovoltaic panels and installation can reach [-] million...

Well, four hundred million.This is just the money for the power generation equipment, what about the building?What about soilless cultivation equipment?What about the recruitment and training of relevant personnel?

So, a month ago, Yuan still felt that there was too much money in the book, but now it's over, it seems that this little money is not enough...

Fang Yuan sat in the office for several days, counting back and forth with a calculator every day, until the underside of his eyes turned blue, with an overdone look.

One day, Aimang came back from school and was busy in the kitchen when he heard someone enter the door.Ai Mang poked his head out from the kitchen, and saw Fang Yuan's eyes staring straight in the face, with mourning written all over his body, "floating" into the living room.

"I was wrong," Ai Mang looked up and down Fangyuan's honor, and said dumbfoundedly, "I shouldn't have told you about soilless cultivation. See what you've made of yourself?"

Fangyuan's mind was filled with various cost estimates, and after a while, he glanced at Ai Mang slowly: "..." Those little eyes were dull.

Ai Mang sighed, went over to stop him from sitting down and persuaded him: "Why don't we just settle things together and forget about it, huh?"

Fang Yuan was slightly taken aback, and his originally dull face finally came alive—the whole face was pulled together, and he was troubled when he saw it: "...I still want to get one, I want to scratch my heart..."

"That's fine!" Ai Mang clamped his face and rubbed it vigorously a few times to refresh him, and then asked, "Then tell me, since you want to do it, you can do it? Why are you so entangled?"

Fang Yuan finally recovered from being teased by him, and said aggrievedly, "...the money is not enough!"

"How much?"

"At least four or five million yuan is missing..."

Ai Mang nodded calmly, and when he was about to say something, Fang Yuan continued: "It's just an upfront payment, and six or seven hundred million will be invested in the future..."

"Why so many?"

Fang Yuan babbled a bit after hearing the words: "...Well, there are so many, and I don't know if it's enough..."

Seeing Fang Yuan's whole person is going to be ethereal again, Ai Mang hugged him helplessly: "Be sober, we spent [-] million to build a family building, what are you doing? According to the benefits of the pharmaceutical factory, a year That's enough, isn't it?"

Fang Yuan suddenly wanted to cry—it was because the family building was built that the money was not enough!

"I want to cover it now, what should I do?"

In fact, how could he not know?According to their benefits, the pharmaceutical company now has a monthly surplus of about [-] million yuan. If the sales of Meiyan Pills break out smoothly, this figure can increase to another third.

As long as he doesn't spend his money indiscriminately this year, by this time next year, he will have saved enough for the construction of the vertical farm.

But he is in a hurry!

I don’t know, it’s okay, who let him know this technology?He is now crazy about starting construction right away! !

Aimang was speechless.What is this called?Why didn't he realize that Fang Yuan was still so stubborn before?

"If that's really not possible," Aimang thought for a while, "can't I get a loan from the bank?"

Fang Yuan's whole body trembled when he heard the words, like a repeater: "Bank loan?"

Aimang nodded: "Yes! When I chatted with my colleagues in the research institute, I said that they usually pay in installments when they buy things...what?" Aimang suddenly thought of a possibility, looked at him cautiously and asked, "Did you never think of getting a loan?"

Fangyuan: "..."

How he forgot!

Speaking of it, Fangyuan can't be blamed entirely, but he has a very bad experience with bank loans.

Because I was young and frivolous, I bought a kidney machine with an online installment loan behind my parents' backs when I was in high school.Mother Fang asked after seeing her son's kidney machine, but she didn't reimburse him...

So that summer vacation, Fang Yuan worked three summer jobs, and Guo Jun and Zhou Shu contributed all their pocket money to him. Later, Fang’s father secretly gave his son 500 yuan behind his angry wife’s back, and barely made up for the loan. money.

Since then, Fang Yuan has been insensitive to things like loans.

People are afraid of well ropes after being bitten by snakes for ten years, and he is similar.From high school to now, Fangyuan has produced kidney machines from the fourth generation to the tenth generation, and his fear has not passed yet, isn't it because he subconsciously didn't think about it at all?

It's also because he has been competing with himself all the time, and he hasn't discussed it with the people around him, or he might have thought of it long ago.

Fang Yuan rubbed his head and was stunned for a while: "That's right?"

The fear of loans back then is completely different from the current situation.At the beginning, because he had no income, he relied on reaching out to control his parents.Once parents thought he wasted money and refused to pay, wouldn't he be caught blind?

But it's different now!

The benefit of the pharmaceutical factory is so good, even if he doesn't take out a loan, he can save this money if he gives him some time, and he is not afraid of not paying the loan at all!

Awakened by Ai Mang's words, Fang Yuan was very cooperative with the night's two-person exercise, and took the initiative to serve Ai Mang comfortably.

After a good night's sleep, Fangyuan organized a pharmaceutical factory management meeting the next day and explained the vertical farm project to colleagues.

After all, the pharmaceutical factory is owned by him personally, and their factory is really not short of money now.Fangyuan, the factory manager, is determined to do it, and the people below have no reason to object.

So Fangyuan took action.

According to his request, the design institute changed the draft several times and sent emails to discuss and study with experts and scholars in various fields. After a month of intensive revision and perfection, the drawings needed by Fangyuan were made.

This drawing is already a masterpiece of technology that can be realized at this stage.Not only the architectural planning and design of the entire vertical farm, but also the laying design of photovoltaic panels in the entire factory area required by Fangyuan.

After the drawings came out, Fangyuan shopped around and contacted a very powerful photovoltaic panel manufacturer in China.After contacting the best engineering companies in the three northeastern provinces, the loan process was officially launched.

Soon, Fang Yuan collected all the required paperwork, and took the financial staff of the pharmaceutical factory to the Flower Bank.

Fang's Pharmaceutical Factory is now considered a star enterprise in City A. Moreover, they have always paid taxes in a timely manner and have sufficient books. The evaluation value in the banking system is very official, and the loan risk is very small.So without much delay, the pharmaceutical factory's loan application was quickly approved by the president of Provincial Bank L in person.

Fangyuan has a one-time loan of 900 million yuan, the loan period is one year, and the annual interest is more than [-] million yuan, which is a figure that Fangyuan can accept.

As soon as the money arrived, the pharmaceutical factory started a new round of major construction.

The family building over there has not yet been capped, and another engineering team has come in here. The pharmaceutical factory is busy, so don't mention it.

In order to ensure that the production will not be affected, Fangyuan simply separated the side of the factory building from the side of the construction team, and opened a door on the other side of the factory wall to allow the construction team of the vertical farm to enter and exit.

This project is the first official vertical farm project in China. Apart from the construction company that Fangyuan chose out of thousands of choices, there are actually quite a few engineering companies who heard the news and came to have a look.

So from the very beginning of the project, many senior engineers and architects came in and out of the construction site.

The concept of this thing has been around for a long time, but there is really no such systematic construction in the world. Before, there were only some small buildings that only built two or three floors.These talents actually want to take a look and learn some experience.After all, it is the first case in China, and it is also a new attempt in the world.

As for Fang's Pharmaceutical Factory, it is a twelve-story building with a construction area of ​​16 square meters!

Such a large-scale special building is a rare opportunity, and all the well-known domestic talents came to see it.

So there's an advantage to that.It was not for nothing that these domestic first-class architectural talents came here, and they really picked out a few minor problems on the drawings.

It's not a big problem, but if it is improved, the operating cost can be reduced by nearly [-]%.

This is not a small number!You must know that such a new thing is also a power-hungry monster, and [-]% of the operating cost is a million-level fund!

Fortunately, the foundation has just started to be laid, and so many operating costs can be avoided by just changing the design on the drawings, which is a great thing.

The project is going smoothly, and with these powerful foreign aids to help find faults, the psychological pressure that I thought I had caused by the [-] million foreign debts during this period is finally not so heavy...

The foundation of the vertical farm here has just been laid, and after the reserved underground sewage treatment part has been completed, the sewage treatment machines purchased by the pharmaceutical factory have also been successfully installed and completed.

For the machine this time, Fangyuan bought the product from the machinery factory that sold them the digital workshop.

Because of the previous cooperation, the other factory also gave them a good discount this time.Considering that the cooperation between the two companies will continue in the future, the other party is even willing to help them train a group of technical personnel who will be responsible for the maintenance of these machines in the future.

Fang Yuan couldn't be happier, so he quickly picked five technicians from the maintenance department of the factory and sent them to Jizhong to study.

Speaking of which, now because of this vertical farm, the personnel of the pharmaceutical factory have started to recruit again.

This time, we not only need a group of technicians to maintain the machinery, but also recruit a group of special workers who will specialize in planting raw materials and have learned soilless cultivation techniques in the future.And this requires the help of Professor Liu of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

Professor Liu is now the technical consultant of the pharmaceutical factory. Since the establishment of the vertical farm project, Professor Liu has been watching the whole process.Needless to say, Fang Yuan, the old professor had already made a list of those who he thought would be suitable.

So as soon as Fang Yuan opened his mouth, the old professor smiled and took out a piece of paper - he has been waiting here for a long time!

There are old professors to check, these candidates are all high-achieving students from the Agricultural University, and there is no problem with their character and major.Fangyuan accepted the old professor's favor with embarrassment, and together with Deng Dawei, who was in charge of human resources, contacted the people on the list.

Except for a very few who were unable to come due to various reasons, among the people on the list, nearly forty people joined the pharmaceutical factory after consideration and became employees of Fang's pharmaceutical factory.

The pharmaceutical factory has actually been reserve personnel before.It turned out that if there are new products on the line in the future, these reserved personnel can be immediately diverted to the new production line.However, since the vertical farm project was to be launched first, Fangyuan and Deng Dawei simply conducted a round of screening within the pharmaceutical factory, and selected nearly 80 people for the project here.

After talking with these [-] workers separately, these workers, most of whom were veterans, were taken away by Professor Liu.In the next few months, these people will be trained at the Agricultural University in order to cooperate with professionals in the cultivation of raw materials in the future.

With these more than 80 people, plus the 120 professionals recommended by Professor Liu before, [-] people will take care of the [-]-story vertical farm. At this stage, it seems that it should be enough.

They are now building twelve floors, but it is impossible to use all of them at the beginning.

Fang Yuan reckoned that in the first year, half of the farm could be used, which would be fine.

The pharmaceutical factory now has three major products, not to mention that Tuodou has not yet planned to grow it here, and the only crops that the farm needs to worry about are Zhuyu grass and Xunyao grass.

Even if only half of the area of ​​six floors is used to count these two types, each plant occupies three floors.

Their factory can now sell more than 40 boxes of meal replacement capsules every month. According to Wang Tao's calculations, sales will increase by a quarter after the purchase restriction is lifted, so it will only reach 50 boxes, right?

After the farm is built, Fangyuan estimates that two layers can grow enough Zhuyu grass.And the sales of beauty pills are not as good as meal replacement capsules. It is estimated that the utilization rate of this building can reach one-third in the first half year of the farm's opening.

Calculated in this way, the 120 people trained now are enough.

When people get busy, it feels like time flies by.

The construction cost of the family building was actually recorded before the construction of the vertical farm, and it has been kept in the books of the pharmaceutical factory.Fangyuan asked someone to inspect the building, and found no problems after the inspection, so he happily sent the final payment to the construction company.

The employees who heard the news were full of enthusiasm and enthusiasm, and the vertical farm here was also being built in an orderly and smooth manner.

At this time, the good reputation of Xunyao Beauty Pills gradually took shape on the Internet.

The author has something to say: Little Theater:

Aimang was very calm: Isn't it one billion?Our factory earns back in one year!

Fangyuan Lasagna Tears: Isn't it a year to wait...

Ai Mang puffed up her chest and looked up at him sideways: Then take a loan!

Fangyuan Xingxingyan: Dear, you are right!Thanks to you!What else can I do~

Ai Mang took the opportunity to brew with sauce...

The next day, Fangyuan went to work in high spirits, and Ai Mang was the only one who started to get scared-oh my god, one billion!A lot of money! !

The key is that he came up with this idea...

And his wife agreed...

Ai Mang clutched her little heart: I think it's a bit inhumane to talk to a primitive person about a deal worth hundreds of millions...
