"What?"
Chen Xiaobao's face changed and he stood up suddenly.
After asking a few simple questions, I bought a plane ticket and flew to Yunnan and Guizhou.
By the time Chen Xiaobao arrived at the medicinal materials base, it was already the next morning.
When Chen Xiaobao found Chen Ziyue, Chen Ziyue had not slept all night and looked haggard. She was organizing people to put out the forest fire.
Fortunately, after a night of fighting, the fire has been isolated and controlled and will not spread to a larger area.
But until now, the fire has not been extinguished.
"Ziyue, what's the situation now?"
When Chen Xiaobao saw Chen Ziyue, he immediately asked.
"The fire area is about 30,000 mu, and 30,000 mu of medicinal fields have been destroyed. Fortunately, we have dug out a barrier to block the fire. We have contacted the meteorological department, and the meteorological department said that there will be heavy rain today. The fire department said that after the heavy rain, the fire should be put out!"
Chen Ziyue said haggardly.
The burned area was too large, and the mountain roads were difficult to navigate, making it difficult for the fire department to handle the situation.
They had tried their best to dig out an isolation zone, and this was also the result of Chen Ziyue spending money to organize thousands of people to help. Otherwise, the isolation zone might not have been dug out.
Chen Xiaobao's heart sank. Thirty thousand acres of land, if one acre was 600 square meters, that would be 18 million square meters. This was a huge loss.
Especially once the fire occurs, I am afraid that this part of the forest will not be able to recover for a period of time, and it may not be possible to plant again in a short period of time.
"The weather in Yunnan and Guizhou hasn't been very hot recently, so how could a forest fire suddenly break out? Is this an accident or man-made?" Chen Xiaobao intuitively thought that this forest fire was too strange. It didn't seem like an accident, but rather like man-made.
"We don't know yet, and we probably won't be able to find out. The burned area is too large, and it will take a long time to investigate. Once it rains heavily, even if there are any traces, they will probably be gone!"
Chen Ziyue shook her head.
Indeed, if a house or a car catches fire, it is not too difficult to investigate whether it is arson or an accident. However, it is really difficult to investigate whether it is an accident or man-made when a sudden wildfire like this one occurs in the mountains and the burned area is too large and washed away by heavy rain.
But Chen Ziyue obviously also suspected that this was not an accident.
"It's just 30,000 acres of medicinal fields, and there are still many more medicinal fields left. Ziyue, don't worry, I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter!"
Chen Xiaobao said in a deep voice.
"Xiaobao, then you wait here for news. I'll go to the hotel to rest!" Chen Ziyue nodded. She didn't hold much hope that she could find out the truth.
However, she is pregnant now and really cannot stay up late. She didn't sleep all night last night and felt that she could not hold on any longer.
As soon as Chen Xiaobao arrived, she gave up and went back to the city to rest.
Chen Xiaobao asked Chen Ziyue's assistant to arrange for all the bodyguards to come over, and the bodyguards who stayed in the provincial capital of Central Province also came over to strengthen the security around Chen Ziyue.
After Chen Ziyue came down the mountain, Chen Xiaobao looked at the forest in the distance which was still emitting thick smoke, then looked at the sky and prepared to go into the mountain to take a look.
"Xiao Li, wait here. I'm going to go into the mountain to take a look!"
Chen Xiaobao said to Bai Xiaoli.
Now there are two sisters, Bai Xiaoli and Bai Xiaotao. The elder sister Bai Xiaotao is Chen Xiaobao's secretary, and the younger sister Bai Xiaoli is Chen Ziyue's secretary. Bai Xiaoli has been working with Chen Ziyue for some time.
"Brother Xiaobao, there's still a fire on the mountain. Isn't it too dangerous?"
Bai Xiaoli said worriedly.
"It's okay. Hasn't the isolation zone on the mountain been dug out? I just need to not cross the isolation zone!" said Chen Xiaobao.
Wildfires are indeed dangerous. If you are not careful, it can be extremely dangerous. Even a change in wind direction can kill many people. In the face of natural disasters, even warriors are as vulnerable as ordinary people.
However, Chen Xiaobao was not too worried. The rain would probably stop in the afternoon, and an isolation zone had been dug on the mountain. As long as Chen Xiaobao did not venture into the fire scene, the danger would not be great.
Chen Xiaobao now wants to go and see what the situation is on the mountain, perhaps he can find some clues.
"Brother Xiaobao, be careful!"
Bai Xiaoli said worriedly.
"I know!"
Chen Xiaobao agreed and was about to set off when a plantation worker from outside suddenly came over.
"Secretary Bai, where is Mr. Chen? People from Lijiazhai are coming!"
The staff member came over and said.
Dongsheng Group’s plantation also has a lot of staff here, about several hundred people of all kinds. Some of them live in the plantation, and some live in the town near the plantation.
Chen Xiaobao and his team are now in a town near the plantation. After the fire broke out, most of the staff in the plantation evacuated to the town.
"Mr. Chen just went into the city. What should we do?" Bai Xiaoli suddenly became anxious and hesitated whether to call Chen Ziyue. But she also knew that Chen Ziyue did not sleep all night last night. Chen Ziyue was pregnant, and her health was the most important, but the matter of Lijiazhai was equally important, especially now that the medicinal fields were destroyed.
"What is Lijiazhai? Why are they looking for Ziyue?"
Chen Xiaobao saw Bai Xiaoli's anxiety and asked directly.
"Lijiazhai is a village in the mountains. Their village is separated from our plantation by several hills. Ms. Chen wanted to rent the forest of the second phase of the plantation before. The forest she was interested in happened to belong to Lijiazhai. However, Ms. Li had talked to the people of Lijiazhai several times before, but was rejected by them. Now that the people of Lijiazhai have taken the initiative to come down the mountain, it may be that there is a turning point in the matter of contracting the forest!"
Bai Xiaoli said.
Lijiazhai is a relatively mysterious village within a hundred miles. The village is located deep in the mountains, much farther away from the town and the city at the foot of the mountain than the plantation.
The environment there is relatively secluded, and people in the village rarely go down the mountain. There is even a legend that there are people in Lijia Village who know the art of witchcraft.
In recent years, many people who are looking for secluded and mysterious places come to Lijiazhai for adventure every year.
Because of these tourists, the nearby mountains and forests, and government subsidies, people in the village live a good life.
"Boss Chen has gone back to rest. There's no need to call her. Let her have a good sleep. You know the conditions that Boss Chen negotiated with the people in the village before, right?"
Chen Xiaobao thought about it and asked Bai Xiaoli.
"I know. As long as the price of one acre of forest is no more than 150 yuan, we can negotiate. Previously, Mr. Chen offered a price of 100 yuan per acre, but the people in Lijiazhai disagreed. As for other additional conditions, as long as they are not excessive, we can negotiate!"
Bai Xiaoli nodded and said.
The annual rent of one mu of land is one hundred yuan, ten thousand mu of forest is one million yuan, and one hundred thousand mu of forest is ten million yuan per year. This is a huge sum of money. With this money, the village can become rich.
