“Lao Ma, what do you think is the greatest value over there in Siberia?”

“Oil and minerals?”

Majek gave the answer almost without thinking. I believe if you ask this question to ten people, nine out of ten people will answer this.。

Needless to say, the importance of oil. It is the most important energy source in the world. The development of the world today cannot avoid the topic of oil.。

Although China has a vast territory and abundant resources, it is somewhat lacking in oil resources. In order to leave a shadow for future generations, many domestic oil fields have restricted exploitation, resulting in low oil production.。

However, with the improvement of the quality of life of the people, one car has almost become standard equipment for every household. Some people even buy a second car after buying one. This has also caused the domestic demand for oil to continue to increase, requiring a large amount of external supplies. import。

Every year, the country consumes 600 million tons of crude oil, of which less than 200 million tons are mined by itself, and the remaining more than 400 million tons need to be imported from abroad.。

One meal of crude oil can hold 7.33 barrels. 400 million tons is approximately 2.9 billion barrels, or a little more is 3 billion barrels.。

Based on the international crude oil price of about 280 per barrel, three billion barrels is 840 billion. Taking into account labor and transportation costs, nearly one trillion yuan is spent on oil imports alone every year!

From this we can also see the importance of developing Siberia to China. Not only can it increase a channel for oil imports, but it can also control costs, saving at least hundreds of billions of expenditures every year!

Therefore, regardless of whether Mao Xiong can get a lot of economic benefits after development; China will also get a lot of benefits, and in the long run, China will make more money by exchanging money for resources!

Because money itself can be printed continuously, but resources are non-renewable!

Mao Xiong wants to promote its own economic development by developing Siberia, but it is not an act of fishing from the lake. It wins the present but loses the future!

“No, it’s land!”

Lei Ziqing did not beat around the bush and gave his own different answer; “The importance of land needs no introduction to us Chinese people, it should be engraved in our bones!”

Food is the most important thing for the people. Only with land can we have more food. Oil is only the blood of industry, and land is the foundation of everything.。

People can live without industrial development, and at worst, their lives will be affected. But if there are problems with the land and agricultural food production is affected, then it will be a matter of survival!

The ancients also said that if you have enough food and clothing, you will know the etiquette; if you have enough food and clothing, you will know the honor and disgrace!

Only when you have filled your stomach can you consider other things。

Even though we are in the 21st century now, there has never been enough food in the world since ancient times.。

Many people may say that they are full after eating three meals a day, and there is even a lot left to waste. There is no shortage of food.。

But in fact, the world has never been peaceful, and reality is not peaceful; your happy life is just because you were lucky enough to be born in the heaven, and the heaven protects you from wind and rain, and provides you with a stable and peaceful life. Just a peaceful environment。

Even so, after decades of painstaking development, with the high-yielding rice researched by Yuan Tianzun, China is still under the pressure of food shortage.。

According to data released by the United Nations Food Program, there are app

roximately 7 billion people in the world, but more than 800 million of them do not have enough to eat and are starving every year!

The Chinese only have 7% of the world’s arable land, but they have to feed 22% of the world’s population. The pressure can be imagined; to ensure that every Chinese citizen has food to eat, every Chinese person should learn to be content and admit that The greatness of this country!

“Oil and mineral resources are more of a national demand. Although the profits are huge, relatively speaking, most of them will be taken by the officials of the two countries.。”

“Even as a participant, I am only qualified to follow and drink soup! For us private businessmen, the value of land is higher, and the benefits it can bring are greater and longer-term!”

Others see more of the oil and minerals on the surface, but Lei Ziqing’s main goal from the beginning was land. He also had this intention when he contracted Lake Baikal.。

The importance of food is self-evident, and the economic value and impact it brings cannot be underestimated.。

Taking soybeans alone, the annual soybean trade volume in the world has reached 500 million tons, and the price per ton is about 4,000 yuan. After calculation, this is a market of 2 trillion yuan!

Among them, China is the main consumer of soybeans, importing nearly 100 million tons from outside every year; nearly 20% of them come from lighthouse countries, and 65% come from South America. This is also the reason for the previous increase in soybean meal prices. , the reason for the increase in domestic feed costs。

Because the supply of soybeans is in the hands of other countries, and the country needs a lot of soybeans, this allows others to choke you.。

The annual import of hundreds of millions of tons of soybeans amounts to an expenditure of 400 billion, which is almost half of the amount of oil!

Not to mention that in addition to soybeans, there are also corn, rice, potatoes, beef and other grains that need to be imported. These are all money, and each amount is an astronomical figure!

It can be seen from these intuitive figures that China actually needs to be self-sufficient in food more than oil and minerals.。

The emergence of golden beans allows Lei Ziqing to no longer worry about the soybean market. Give him a few years, and he is confident that when he plants golden beans all over the desert, he can also meet the domestic demand for soybeans.。

But for other grains, we need to find another way. If we want to plant them on a large scale, we need enough arable land.。

Although the climate here in Siberia is cold, the soil is mostly fertile black soil, which is very suitable for growing crops. In addition, the land here is vast and sparsely populated, so it is possible to build large farms and use modern machinery to cultivate and cultivate crops here.。

Since Mao Xiong has a small population and its focus is on Europe, it has been wasting these lands. In Lei Ziqing’s opinion, it is simply a waste of natural resources!

Speaking of which, I have to take out the mites and whip the corpses. This is originally the land of the Celestial Empire!

What Lei Ziqing has to do now is to take advantage of the fact that Mao Xiong is still focusing on oil and other resources, contract the land on a large scale and cultivate it for decades!

Of course, although he mainly focuses on land and food, he will not give up the interests in oil and ores easily; there is no reason not to eat the meat that is brought to his mouth.。

It’s just that the cake is too big, and Lei Ziqing’s appetite will inevitably be full if he eats it alone, so he wants to find other people to join forces so that he can be full without overeating.。

By the way, let others eat together and earn a big favor, which can’t be wasted anyway.
