The reason why Nasser's father's attitude changed by 180 degrees, from trying his best to oppose the United States to signing US dollar settlement with the United States was mainly because of someone in the royal family's plan and almost successfully assassinated him.

Once the old man suspected the kidnapping of the Getty family, it was related to Li Changheng and major oil companies.

As long as the price given by Li Changheng or the conditions are appropriate, he may really get ownership or shares of the oil field.

Nasser looked at Li Changheng's seemingly smile and immediately regretted the promise of easily agreeing to help.

But Nasser not only dared not, but also understood that the consequences of angering Li Changheng would be very serious.

And when I think of myself as I can become a shareholder of Citi like Frank Abanel.

Nasser had to comfort himself and think that being able to invest in the top three American banks like Citi would be to some extent equivalent to gaining protection from a very strong force in the United States.

In the future, if someone in the royal family wants to replace their family, it will definitely be much easier if they ask Li Changheng and Citi for help.

Even just investing in Citi can scare the restless members of the family.

Thinking of this, Nasser was looking forward to becoming a shareholder of Citi while resisting the anxiety of not knowing what Li Changheng would do to him.

With a little stiffness and tension in his smile, he accompanied Li Changheng, Anne and more than a dozen scientists.

Unexpectedly, American agricultural and technological officials who strongly requested to join the vertical farm project to enter the farm transformed from the warehouse.

Li Changheng, who felt that the time was not right, did not care about Nasser. Instead, he chatted with officials from the US Ministry of Agriculture for a while, and did not hesitate at all, so he asked for policies directly because it was related to his own interests.

And he was so shameless that he had placed more than 10 million Nasser invested under his vertical farm company.

In this case, if you invest more than 15 million US dollars in the front and back, it is not a joke no matter how you look at it.

And because vertical farms are indeed the most cutting-edge scientific research project, even if Li Changheng doesn't mention it, at least the New Jersey government will inevitably give some support policies.

But if you lobby for Congress, the benefits will be even more.

Although those officials knew that Li Changheng had changed his concept, they did not intend to expose it.

After all, Li Changheng wants more preferential policies, and it has nothing to do with them. He promised on the spot that he would strongly recommend the relevant audit committee to increase support.

After Li Changheng smiled and thanked, he silently thought about who to lobby for the members of the review committee.

Then he began to listen to more than a dozen experts in agriculture, machinery and management to introduce the farm's construction progress and production plan.

After watching 40 automated pallet lifts that are 6 meters high and 20 meters long, Li Changheng had to admit that the United States has indeed very strong mechanical skills.

With no cost investment, this farm even made him feel that it was more advanced than the vertical farms he would see on the Internet in the future.

Moreover, the supply method of water supply and nutrient solution is to skip hydroponics directly and make a root atomization system.

While saving water, it also makes the oxygen and nutrients obtained from the roots of crops more sufficient.

At the same time, data generated by the atomization system is timed on, temperature, humidity, automation and other technologies not only requires computer and automation technology, but also can promote the development of the semiconductor industry.

As long as there is market demand, there will definitely be companies willing to help with research and development. For Intel, it is equivalent to obtaining a stable and long-term customer.

Thinking that he should find some time, after going to Intel to check it out, Li Changheng heard the experts around him and talked about the farm's expected revenue, his attention was quickly attracted.

Although the farm's investment is huge, each warehouse can provide about 650,000 pounds of lettuce every year, which is about 300 tons.

According to major media reports, lettuce, strawberries, blueberries, cabbage, tomato and sweet green peppers are definitely the highest varieties in terms of pesticide use in the United States.

In the United States, the prices of green and pesticide-containing fruits and vegetables are several times different, or even ten times, are very common.

Otherwise, major farms in the United States would not try their best to apply for green certification.

After asking Annie, Li Changheng soon learned that the New York regular lettuce costs about $0.1, but green lettuce costs $0.4 per pound.

At a price of $0.4, the annual income of a warehouse is $260,000.

The 12 warehouses are 3.12 million.

Excluding labor, water and electricity, and other costs, it is equivalent to recovering the investment in the farm in almost 7 or 8 years.

This return on investment is not even worse than that of many listed companies.

Otherwise, Nasser would not be so stupid. He would invest tens of millions of dollars without investing anything, and it would be a free gift.

Of course, whether it is the future Celestial Empire, the United States, island countries, or even South Korea, green fruits and vegetables are always foods that a small number of people can eat all year round.

After listening to the report, Li Changheng immediately thought to let HL Media make an issue of green food reports.

It is not necessary for everyone to accept the fruits and vegetables of the farm, but to scare the rich, the 3,600 tons of lettuce produced by the farm every year in the future should not be difficult to sell.

Moreover, he also plans to combine the automatic farm with the greenhouse and build a greenhouse fruit and vegetable base.

This production model with low investment costs should soon be attracted by many capital.

While the farm has a new source of profit, as more fruits and vegetables are produced using the same model, the Americans' acceptance ability will become stronger.

Besides, even if you don’t do it yourself, when the vertical farm automation equipment is known to the outside world, there will definitely be smart people who will think of the idea of ​​combining automatic farms and greenhouses.

And if you invest tens of thousands of dollars, you can try it out. Not to mention the big grain giants, even some big farmers can try it out by themselves.

The idea of ​​greenhouse fruits and vegetables quickly lit up Nasser, various experts, and agricultural department officials.

The investment cost is lower than that of vertical farms, and can produce in winter. Automation and save labor. It really sounds quite attractive.

As for the need for higher and more sophisticated management, it was directly ignored by the people present.

After gaining a wave of attention and admiration, Li Changheng quickly remembered Claire Wood of the 'Water Purification Plan' fund due to management reasons.

That is the wife of South Carolina Senator Francis Wood.

Claire has been in charge of the research and development of nutrition solution projects before, and his abilities and professionalism are fine.

It can also take advantage of the convenience of Laclair joining a vertical farm, which has forced Francis Wood to do his best to help the farm pull the policy.
