Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

The mayor of Darwin couldn't help but look happy when he heard this, and then he introduced the farms, pastures and mines in the Northern Territory.

As the mayor of Darwin, he is naturally familiar with the pillar economy of the Northern Territory, and he introduced it in great detail. He even knew how many cattle and sheep there are in each pasture, which made Yang Chen wonder if the other party did it early. Enough homework.

There are not so many existing farms, pastures and mines in the Northern Territory, and most of them are concentrated around cities or places with sufficient water sources.

Farms and pastures are basically high-quality land near water sources, and other places that are too far away are not wanted.

For these high-quality land, Yang Chen will naturally not let it go, especially the water source. The most important thing for agriculture and animal husbandry is water resources, and nothing can be done without water.

Chapter 680 Crazy Rabbit Fighting Mouse

"My lord mayor, I'm afraid it won't be possible to settle this matter in a day or two. How about you ask those bosses who are willing to sell their farms, ranches and mines to report their farms, ranches and mines for one price up.

When the time comes I will send someone to check and if the price is right I will buy it.If the price is not right, then forget it.

After all, with so much land in the Northern Territory, I don't need to spend that much money. There is only one chance. I hope the mayor can explain the matter clearly to them when he conveys it. "

Although he has money, he will never spend an extra penny on what he shouldn't spend. If he doesn't reveal this bottom line, then what awaits him will inevitably be a protracted bargaining.

That is what he does not want to see very much. Any negotiation will not be pleasant, especially when interests are involved. Once he and the Australian federal government reach an agreement, the development of the Northern Territory will be put on the agenda.

Under such circumstances, he still has time to wrangle with those market owners. If he wants to sell, he will buy it, and if he doesn't want to sell, he doesn't care.

The mayor of Darwin didn't care either, he nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Mr. Yang Chen, don't worry, I will explain this matter clearly to them. Come, let's drink."

"Mr. Yang Chen, how about this wine? To tell you the truth, I brew this wine myself. I have a farm outside the city, and this wine comes from the vineyard in my farm."

Yang Chen took another sip, gave a thumbs up and said: "The taste is very good. I didn't expect Mr. Mayor to make wine. I would like to learn it if I have the chance."

The mayor of Darwin didn't understand the politeness of the Chinese. Hearing that Yang Chen was interested in learning how to brew wine, he immediately invited him: "This is simple. I will invite Mr. Yang Chen to my farm tomorrow as a guest, and then I will personally teach you how to make wine." wine."

Facing Mayor Darwin's invitation, Yang Chen couldn't help but want to slap himself, and said embarrassingly, "How dare you disturb Mr. Mayor's work."

The mayor of Darwin waved his hand and said: "Don't disturb, the most important job in Darwin right now is to entertain Mr. Yang Chen. I invite Mr. Yang Chen to be a guest at home, which is considered overtime work."

"Uh..." Now, Yang Chen had nothing to say, he could only smile and nod in agreement, anyway, he came here to walk around and see, going to the other party's farm was no different from going to other places.

next morning

At the invitation of the mayor of Darwin, Yang Chen and his group left the city in a mighty way, heading for a farm more than 100 kilometers away from the city.

Since the Northern Territory is under the direct administration of the Australian federal government, the cooperation project cannot be carried out in Darwin, so the current job of the mayor of Darwin can only be to accompany Yang Chen to look around.

The population of the Northern Territory is 10,000+, of which more than [-]% of the population is concentrated in Darwin and its surrounding areas.

Even so, the population around Darwin is still very small, and there are almost no people outside the city.

It is farther away from Darwin, even if it is two or three hundred kilometers apart, there may not be a small town.

Yes, a small town, not a city.

This is not an exaggeration at all. Australia is sparsely populated, and the Northern Territory is comparable to giant pandas in the inland animal kingdom. Humans are scarcer here than national treasures. In future generations, they will be properly protected animals at the national level.

Yang Chen and his party had more than a dozen heavy-duty off-road vehicles, and the scene was quite large, mighty and mighty, with smoke and dust all the way, those who didn't know thought there was another war somewhere.

That's right, it's a war.

In this corner of the Northern Territory, animals are infested. Every once in a while, people here will pick up knives and guns and fight a few battles with the animal populations here.

In Australia's not-so-long history, there have been many wars between humans and animals who are inferior in number to grab territory.

Not only civilians, but also the military, for some animal populations, they basically control the killing and don't bury them.

Represented by rabbits and kangaroos, the populations of the two can really scare people to death.

The continent of Australia, due to its long-term isolation overseas, is not as rich in biological species as other continents, so its ecological circle is not very stable.

But it itself is very suitable for the growth of animals. Australia has rich pastures and rich food sources, which provide good conditions for the growth and reproduction of animals.

The native flora and fauna here have almost no natural enemies.

During the Age of Discovery, people brought some alien creatures to this land, causing a series of unimaginable consequences.

As soon as these alien creatures set foot on this land, not only did they not have the so-called acclimatization, but each one of them felt special nostalgia for this land.

Take rabbits as an example. Originally, rabbits in Australia came from the United Kingdom. The British came to Australia to improve their food, so they brought a few rabbits with them.

But what I never expected was that Mr. Rabbit has become a lingering nightmare for generations in Australia.

According to statistics, in the middle of the 100th century, the total number of rabbits in Australia exceeded [-] billion, which was more than the total population of the world in later generations.

At that time, many areas in central Australia were gnawed by rabbits without any grass, which directly caused the extinction of dozens of species unique to Australia.

In the end, the Australian government was in a hurry. From the civilians to the army, the whole country mobilized aggressively and mightily, and started a war to cull wild rabbits.

That period of history can be called a soul-stirring epic.

There are tens of billions of rabbits, all over the mountains and plains, jumping around in front of people's eyes, and the sheep gnawing on the grass have no grass to eat. How can the Australian people who rely on sheep for food agree.

However, there is no way not to agree.

Rabbits are something that ordinary people can't catch at all. Even if they have guns, it would be very difficult for ordinary people to hit them.

In desperation, the Australian government finally got smarter and no longer chose to introduce alien species to balance the ecology.

Every time a creature is introduced, it will cause a disaster. Australia's entry of species in later generations is quite strict.

Here, it is mainly because I have learned enough lessons.

In the end, the rabbit army was contained, thanks to the introduction of a myxoma virus in Australia. This virus is selective and fatal to rabbits, but it is harmless to humans, livestock and other wild animals in Australia.

Australian scientists released the virus to mosquitoes, which transmitted it to rabbits and quickly spread throughout the rabbit population.

Through this method, more than 80.00% of the rabbit population in Australia was wiped out in just two years.

Although the rabbits have been contained, this war between humans and rabbits has made the later generations of Australians still talk about rabbits, and rabbit hunting competitions are held almost every year to prevent similar incidents from happening again.

In addition to rabbits, Australian kangaroos are also very troublesome creatures. Although they are not as exaggerated as the number of rabbits, Australian kangaroos are very powerful in fighting.

Under normal circumstances, if Australian soldiers do not have guns in their hands, they will definitely be beaten up by these kangaroos.

The powerful "combat rats" will also be seriously threatened if you meet them in the wild and mess with them.

Along the way, pass through several small towns.

Yes, that's right, a small town.
