The richest man: I really don’t want to make money.

Chapter 1172 Sand Table

Wei Yan pondered for a moment, then spoke slowly.

“The plans for the annual meeting need to be changed, but it’s not because the budget is too high, but because the budget is too low.”

“The budget is too low!”

Ye Feng was stunned when he heard Wei Yan's words. It was the first time he heard that the boss was dissatisfied with the plan because the budget was too low.

Those bosses outside would like to have a lower budget, but why is it the opposite at Tomorrow Group?

However, when I think about some of the things I have seen in Tomorrow Group since joining it, this matter seems very reasonable.

"Yes, the budget is too low. Mr. Chen said that the celebrities invited to the annual meeting are not well-known and do not fit the current status of Tomorrow Group. So the idea is to invite some well-known celebrities based on the existing opportunities."

Wei Yan began to explain.

"Boss Wei, the appearance fees of those famous stars are very expensive."

"Mr. Chen understands this, so Mr. Chen has given a total budget of 1 million. The previous plan consumed 1000 million, and now there is still 9000 million to invite those well-known stars. Do you think it is enough?"

Ye Feng had just come back to his senses, but was stunned again when he heard Wei Yan's words.

He originally thought that a budget of 1000 million was already very high, but when he got to Mr. Chen, he not only thought his preliminary number was too low, but also added a zero after it.

1000 million directly became 1 million.

this time,

He was deeply aware of Mr. Chen's generosity.

"Minister Ye."

Seeing Ye Feng remained silent for a long time, Wei Yan opened his mouth and called out to him.

Ye Feng came to his senses quickly after hearing the sound.

"Sorry, Mr. Wei, I was a little distracted when I heard the budget given by Mr. Chen."

"It's okay, but I don't know if 9000 million yuan is enough to invite those famous stars to perform."

Wei Yan smiled and waved his hand. He had seen Ye Feng's expression too many times.

Even when he first started, he had this expression many times.

"Mr. Wei, that's enough. 9000 million is enough to invite several well-known stars."

Ye Feng quickly spoke.

"It's good enough, but Mr. Chen also has requirements for the star performances this time. Those stars are not allowed to promote their performances at Tomorrow Group on their social media accounts."

Wei Yan spoke with emphasis.

Ye Feng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but he quickly figured out the reason.

The annual meeting is Tomorrow Group’s own event. If those celebrities promote their performances on social platforms, it will definitely attract many celebrities.

"I understand Mr. Wei."

"Well, then there is nothing else. I have some things to do, so I will go back first."

Wei Yan said this and stood up and left the planning department's office.

Then he went straight back to his office. After entering the office, he saw Li Shen standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window inside the office.

Looking down at the sand table next to the floor-to-ceiling window.

He got the sand table after contacting scientific researchers in the Taklamakan Desert.

The sand table shows the current situation of the entire Taklamakan Desert.

"You're back."

Li Shen looked at Wei Yan who came in, said something, and then continued to look at the sand table on the table.

Seeing this, Wei Yan didn't say anything and just walked over.

"So, what do you think after watching for so long?"

"Hmm... the more I learn about the desert, the more difficult it seems that the desert oasis plan will be."

Li Shen spoke with a serious expression. When he didn't know much about the Taklamakan Desert, he thought that turning the Taklamakan Desert into an oasis would be easy as long as he had enough funds.

But the more he learned, the more he realized how difficult the Taklamakan Desert was.

"Indeed, we thought it was too simple before."

When Wei Yan heard Li Shen's words, he nodded in agreement.

The biggest difficulty in turning a desert into an oasis is the shortage of water resources. If a large amount of groundwater is extracted to change the situation of the desert, the amount of groundwater required will be very huge.

Nowadays, exploiting groundwater at any cost is likely to damage the local ecological environment.

Therefore, there is no way to exploit groundwater indefinitely, and without sufficient water resources, it is basically impossible to turn the entire Taklimakan Desert into an oasis.

but,

Turning a desert into an oasis is a long process, so there is no need to rush. As long as they can find profitable projects in the process of sand control, there will be no problem.

It will not cause Mr. Chen to suffer too much loss of the 100 billion yuan he invests every year.

Wei Yan looked at the sand table of the Taklamakan Desert on the table, and then drew a circle at the very edge of the desert.

"The Taklimakan Desert is mobile. Because of the wind, it is gradually expanding every year."

"We have also discussed this matter with Professor Zuo Wentao of the National Research Institute. However, the institute has drafted a plan to lock the desert in order to prevent the expansion of the desert."

"We had no idea about sand control before, so we might as well start from this."

Li Shen heard Wei Yan's story and then spoke with a smile.

"Brother Yan, since you have a plan, why not tell me about it in detail?"

After three years of contact, he knew that when Wei Yan said this, it meant that there was already a plan for the desert oasis project.

Even if there is no detailed plan, at least there is the outline of a plan.

Wei Yan smiled when he heard Li Shen's words, then walked to the reception area and skillfully brewed a pot of tea.

Li Shen followed without any hesitation.

And on the coffee table in the reception area, there is a map of the Taklamakan Desert.

After Wei Yan poured a cup of tea for himself and Li Shen, he gestured on the map and spoke.

"We don't know anything about desert control, so professional matters should be left to professionals."

"If we want to control sand, the first thing we need to do is to stop the desert from expanding. I think this border-locking project is very important."

"During my conversation with Professor Zuo Wentao, I got a rough idea of ​​the project plan. The circumference of the Taklimakan Desert is more than 3000 kilometers."

"The locking edge is to build a grass grid and plant arid plants... to create an isolation zone on the edge of the desert, thereby preventing the desert from spreading."

"In some areas with water resources, crops such as angustifolia, wolfberry, red dates, and walnuts can be grown in this isolation zone. These crops all have certain economic value."

“When they are mature, they can be sold and bring certain profits to Tomorrow Group.”

"Also, we can plant some trees like poplar trees. When they grow into forests, we can graze them. The animal feces can also increase the nutrition of the land and make it more fertile."

"........"

Wei Yan described in detail the plans he made during this period based on the situation in the Taklamakan Desert.

"Of course, this is just a plan. Whether it can be implemented or not still needs to wait until we investigate the actual situation in the Taklimakan Desert before we can make a decision."

Without actually visiting the Taklamakan Desert, any plan made would be nothing but paper talk.
