Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 681 Building a large manor

  Daughter is Dad's sweet little padded jacket,

   Obviously, this is universal on any man.

   Whether it is domestic or imported, it is the same.

   Of course, stainless steel does not fall into this category.

   It took about an hour to settle the lunch, and then everyone continued to set off to inspect the ranch.

  The entire valley is about 400 kilometers away from the beginning to the end. After patrolling the whole process, it was only in the evening that Yang Chen and his party arrived at the other end of the valley.

   After getting off the plane, Mayor Darwin patted Yang Chen on the shoulder and said, "Mr. Yang Chen, today we will rest here, and tomorrow morning I will take you to the mountain to see the vineyard."

   "Is the vineyard on the mountain?" Yang Chen subconsciously raised his head and glanced at the mountain.

   I couldn't help but think that I didn't see the vineyards along the way, but it turned out that I was on the mountain.

  Mayor of Darwin: "There is a living spring on the mountain, which is very sweet, and it does not stop all year round. The quality of the grapes grown from where is very good.

   The area is a little smaller, only less than five or six hundred acres, and there is a lot of wine produced every year. I usually give it away, and only a very small amount is sold to the outside world. "

   Having said this, the Mayor of Darwin paused, hesitated for a while, and then continued: "Actually, a long time ago, I wanted to turn this pasture into a vineyard, all used to grow grapes and make wine.

   But you know, if such a large piece of land is converted into vineyards, grapes are planted, and wine is made, the initial investment alone will be a lot of expenses…”

  The mayor of Darwin shook his head regretfully. Vineyards are indeed more profitable than pastures, which is beyond doubt.

   But the investment in the vineyard is not affordable for ordinary people, especially the land here is 100,000 acres and more than 40,000 hectares.

   To be honest, I have searched all over Australia, and now I can't find such a large area of ​​vineyards.

  The largest area of ​​grape planting in Australia today is South Australia, which occupies nearly 70% of the vineyards in Australia.

   However, even the vineyards of South Australia, it does not exceed 100,000 hectares.

   Among them, the Barossa Valley and the Murray River in South Australia are the most famous wine producing areas in Australia, with production accounting for about two-thirds of the country.

   If this valley in the hands of the mayor of Darwin can be transformed into a vineyard, then based on its land area, it can be directly promoted to become the king of Australian vineyards.

  Mayor Darwin stopped, turned around and said, "Mr. Yang Chen, if you want, I can sell this place to you, what do you think?"

   "Uh" Yang Chen was stunned for a moment, then said, "Mr. Mayor is really willing to sell this place to me?"

  The mayor of Darwin waved his hand and said: "Nothing unwilling, but if Mr. Yang Chen wants to mine the gold mine here, or convert it into a vineyard, the precondition is to stabilize the market price of beef and mutton in the Northern Territory."

   "As long as Mr. Yang Chen can do this, no one will say anything about what this place looks like and what it is used for."

   "Including me" the mayor of Darwin pointed to his nose.

   He is not old and stubborn. As a politician, seeking benefits for himself and the people in his jurisdiction is what he should do most.

   As for everything else, he doesn't care much about the process, he just needs to see the result.

  Simply put, he is a pragmatist, not most performers who can only talk to each other.

   To this, Yang Chen did not respond immediately.

   When it comes to the best thing to grow in the Northern Territory, it’s fruit.

   Eighty percent of the Northern Territory is a tropical area north of the Tropic of Cancer, which is hot and dry all year round.

  Everyone should know that the more abundant the sun is, the more delicious and sweet the fruit will be.

   He has a Carrefour supermarket in his hand. As long as he wants, he can completely turn the Northern Territory into a fruit production area. In the future, things like melons and fruits will be produced and sold by themselves, and there is no problem at all.

   However, although the climate of the Northern Territory is very suitable for growing melons and fruits, due to the influence of the monsoon, the Northern Territory has only two wet and dry seasons a year.

  The dry season is from May to October, and the wet season is from November to April.

   In addition, the distribution of precipitation in the Northern Territory is uneven, with the average annual precipitation ranging from 1,500 mm on the northern coast to 150 mm in the south, with a huge difference in precipitation from north to south.

  The most important point is that about two-thirds of the Northern Territory receives less than 500 mm of precipitation, and most of it is concentrated in the wet season.

  The distribution of precipitation is uneven. If you want to turn the Northern Territory into a melon and fruit production area, you must invest a lot of money in canals.

  The impact of uneven precipitation distribution in the Northern Territory can be completely changed only if the rational distribution of water resources is resolved.

   Of course, this project is huge, and it will take a long time to see the effect in a short time.

   The whole is like this, but in this valley, the most troublesome water problem is not a problem. With the Darwin River flowing through here, this valley is not short of water.

  Not only that, the coast of the Northern Territory is often affected by typhoons, but because it is surrounded by valleys, the typhoon is directly blocked by the mountains when it arrives here.

  The hurricane a few years ago caused huge losses to the entire coast of the Northern Territory. The disaster was so bad that nothing happened here.

   Cows graze, sheep run early.

   There is plenty of sunlight here and there is no shortage of water resources. If it can be transformed into a vineyard, it will definitely make more money than if it is transformed into a farm.

  The scale of the global wine market in later generations is as high as three or four hundred billion US dollars. Not only Europeans and Americans love to drink wine, but after the development of the inland economy in the future, everyone will be rich, and many people will also like to drink wine.

In later generations, the planting area of ​​inland vineyards occupies the second place in the world, and the wine output ranks sixth in the world. East and southwest of Helan Mountain, Ningxia.

   Now the wine market is mainly concentrated in Europe, and the production areas are also concentrated in Europe. Next, with the development of the Asian economy, more and more rich people, high-end consumables such as red wine, will only grow in size in the future.

  The European and American markets have stabilized, and it is not easy for him to compete in the past, but in Asia, he cannot let go and let others fight at his door.

  Since the other party is willing to sell, he has no reason to miss it.

   Converting it into a vineyard is second, and turning it into a large manor is what Yang Chen wants to do most. After touring this valley, Yang Chen couldn't help but want to turn it into a dreamy manor that is pleasing to the eye.

  Vineyards, farms, and pastures…

   Turn it into a super manor and become his residence in the Northern Territory in the future, and come here directly for vacations in the future.
