Chapter 41 My Home Is in Loess Plateau 2

The top leaders of the seven provincial-level administrative units including Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia, and Inner Mongolia took out time from their busy schedules to inspect the Loess Plateau with Wu Siyuan!

It’s impossible not to pay attention to it!

Now everyone knows that [Chaoqun Group] has a lot of money.

This money, if you leak it out a little bit, is enough for food!

You see, people went around Suihua City and invested 20 billion yuan in it, didn’t they?

20 billion funds is still a small matter!

What is really important is the [Snow Banana Industry Chain] established by [Chaoqun Group] in Suihua City. This is an industrial chain that is conservatively estimated to be worth hundreds of billions of yuan. How many jobs will it bring from upstream to downstream? , to put it bluntly, it is very possible to drive the economic development of Suihua City and even the entire Black Province.

Provincial administrative units such as Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia, and Mongolia are relatively remote to begin with, and the per capita income of the people is generally low. However, the loess high-slope area that Wu Siyuan focused on has even worse environmental conditions. More than 25 million people live in the country, and their living standards and average annual income are even lower, especially rural farmers.

However, the largest number of people on the Loess Plateau are rural farmers.

Since most of the Loess Plateau is a landform with thousands of ravines, it is impossible to use mechanized sowing to improve agricultural efficiency. Only primitive cattle can be used to cultivate the land, and the efficiency is very low.

In terms of climate, there is drought and little rain throughout the year, and the predicament of relying on the weather for food has not changed yet.

Water resources are severely scarce, coupled with the development of industry, which consumes a lot of water. As a result, the Loess Plateau area can only guarantee drinking water for humans and animals. In summer, the water shortage becomes more serious.

This has made it difficult for agriculture on the Loess Plateau to really develop, and farmers have become poorer as they grow more!

After excluding agriculture, what remains is industry. Industry is mainly focused on energy development. Most of them are state-owned enterprises and provide little help to farmers.

The national and local governments have actually noticed this situation for a long time, and have given a lot of subsidies and policy support, but the same sentence still applies-it doesn't freeze three feet in a day!

[Chaoqun Group]’s investment will likely bring new vitality to this land and make the people in this land live a slightly better life!

This is also the expectation of the top provincial officials in these provincial administrative regions such as Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia, and Inner Mongolia!

With both parties having a strong willingness to cooperate, after several days of close discussions, the two parties quickly signed the [Seven Provinces Development and Cooperation Agreement on the Loess Plateau].

[Chaoqun Group] established a local special investment company and promised to invest 200-300 billion yuan, all of which will be used in the [water and soil environment transformation] of the Loess Plateau, [the production of special agricultural machinery for terraces and support for farmers], [the development of special planting industries], etc. Above, deepen the industrial structure of the Loess Plateau, establish [smart agriculture] with modern science and technology as the core, and on the basis of protecting the soil and water environment of the Loess Plateau, develop the characteristic economic belt of the Loess Plateau, increase the per capita income of people in the Loess Plateau region, and achieve the goals of enterprises Investment and regional development, a win-win situation for people’s lives.

In terms of [water and soil environment transformation], [Chaoqun Group] will introduce ryegrass with independent intellectual property rights into the Loess Plateau area. This grass, developed by He Youman, combines drought-resistant genes, cold-resistant genes, and insect resistance. Genes and roots can penetrate deeply into the soil, solidify the water and soil, and have tenacious vitality. Give it a little sunshine and it will shine!

This kind of grass can survive in desert areas, let alone the Loess Plateau. It can grow naturally without taking care of it. It is highly nutritious and highly palatable, and livestock also likes to eat it.

This kind of grass will effectively improve the 7 million hectares of natural grassland on the Loess Plateau, as well as millions of hectares of wasteland and mudland.

This is a measure taken by [Chaoqun Group] to transform the soil and water environment of the Loess Plateau.

Another measure [Chaoqun Group] has taken in this regard is to comprehensively reach strategic environmental protection cooperation with seven provincial-level administrative regions including Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia, and Inner Mongolia, and introduce [Bikong Environmental Protection Company]’s [Smart Water] ]!

To put it simply, [Chaoqun Group] has contracted the sanitation and water affairs work for these seven provincial administrative units!

[Bikong Environmental Protection Company] will provide services to these seven provincial administrative units at preferential prices.

Especially important is the [Smart Water Service] of [Bikong Environmental Protection Company]!

[Bikong Environmental Protection Company] will use villages or natural villages as collection areas to build pipe networks and small sewage treatment stations within the seven provinces to treat and recycle domestic sewage on-site. At the same time, it will establish medium and large sewage treatment stations in various cities and counties. The treatment plant collects various industrial sewage and domestic sewage through municipal drainage pipes for centralized treatment and recycling.

This is a great investment!

[Bikong Environmental Protection Company] Water cannot be produced out of thin air!

However, various domestic and industrial wastewater can be purified and recycled again at the lowest economic cost!

In the past 2019, Shaanxi Province alone discharged more than 1.2 billion cubic meters of sewage, and Shanxi Province discharged less, but it also discharged more than 800 million cubic meters, not to mention other provinces.

After the sewage in these seven provinces is purified and reused, it will greatly alleviate the shortage of water resources in each province.

You should know that in the Loess Plateau region, due to the scarcity of water resources, many cities and counties rely heavily on groundwater for domestic and agricultural water use.

The depth of groundwater intake in some places has reached about 800 meters!

This situation is actually very serious.

Overexploitation of groundwater, which is actually called "descendant water", will form an underground funnel area and lead to various problems such as land subsidence.

Due to the special landform of the Loess Plateau region, once the groundwater level drops seriously, the problems will be more serious and troublesome than those in North China.

The long-term overexploitation of groundwater in the North China Plain has resulted in the formation of a groundwater funnel area, which ultimately forced the country to adopt the South-to-North Water Diversion Project to shut down water-consuming industries and promote water-saving irrigation and agriculture to alleviate the continued decline of groundwater levels.

However, due to the special terrain of the Loess Plateau, there is no way to replenish and allocate water resources through the South-to-North Water Diversion Project and other methods. How to deal with it in the end is also unknown.

After [Chaoqun Group] intervenes, it will recycle all the wastewater, which will not only greatly reduce environmental pollution, but also greatly reduce the exploitation of groundwater!

Reducing the exploitation of groundwater can slow down the degradation rate of water ecology in the Loess Plateau region, and also play a great role in protecting the water and soil environment of the Loess Plateau!

...Although [Bikong Environmental Protection Company] provides environmental protection services to seven provinces at preferential prices, once the cooperation agreement was exposed, it still caused a great shock in the market. The stocks of [Bikong Environmental Protection Company], which were originally in a period of shock, became red across the board. , like a rocket, soaring into the sky.

(Thanks to [Sit and Watch Queen] for the reward)
