Super Ranch: Brothers come to Africa to farm

Chapter 159 Rubber Forest!
Even in front of Wang Lu and two professors, Parker immediately organized a sweep of the nearby area!
Several groups of veterans dispersed and entered several nearby hills. Soon Wang Lu and the others heard scattered gunshots coming from nearby.

On this kind of mountain top where almost no one usually sets foot, there is no need to take too many actions at all. Just walking around the forest and firing a few shots from time to time is enough to alarm the wild animals in the entire area.

This was also true. Wang Lu could even see shadowy wild animals escaping on the edges of several nearby mountains.

After half an hour, the veterans of the sweep returned to Wang Lu one after another.

One of the teams even carried several dead forest rabbits in their hands.

"You guys are pretty lucky. As soon as you entered the forest, you saw these guys squatting there. They picked up the guns and hugged them. It's a pity that they all got hit on the head. This rabbit's head is ruined!"

The leader of the group was a veteran from Sichuan Province named Lao San. He said with regret that spicy rabbit heads are a famous snack in their country.

When Wang Lu saw the plump bodies of those rabbits, he also showed joy. He smiled at the two professors beside him and said:

"Looks like we can have extra food tonight!"

"It's hard to taste this kind of pure game in China now. I've benefited from Lao Zhao today!"

Professor Qin is also very satisfied.

Then Wang Lu saw Parker coming back from a distance. Wang Lu could see the excitement on this guy's face from so far away, but seeing that this guy didn't have any game in his hand, Wang Lu couldn't help but feel a little bit. Became confused.

When they got close, Parker started shouting immediately:

"Boss, guess what I found? It's a whole damn rubber forest. Your ranch, Shet, is simply a treasure trove. I can guarantee that the area of ​​this rubber forest exceeds the several rubber farms I've seen before! "

Rubber forest?
Wang Lu was a little confused after hearing this, and he was obviously a little confused as to why Parker was so excited, but Parker's next words made Wang Lu completely react:
"Boss, you don't know that the local rubber export industry in Africa is also an important economic pillar industry. Owning a mature rubber forest is simply equivalent to sitting on a huge fortune!"

Damn it?Is there a whole rubber forest near here?

Professors Qin and Zhao, who were standing next to Wang Lu, were shocked when they heard the news.

As experts in agriculture, although they are not their own areas of expertise, both of them have more or less knowledge about rubber.

"Mr. Wang, if it's really a whole rubber forest, then you've got another big bargain!"

"Currently, there is a lot of natural rubber shortage in the world every year. There is a gap of more than 100 million tons. It can be said that the supply of this thing exceeds the demand. As long as it can be produced, there will be no worries about selling it!"

Listening to the words of the two agricultural professors, Wang Lu's eyes completely shone.

He has naturally heard of the existence of rubber. Many people have never seen a real rubber tree or natural rubber, but rubber products are full of all areas of modern life, such as tires, gloves, rain boots, toys, etc. Items made of rubber as a raw material can be found almost everywhere.

Although the proportion of artificial rubber is increasing, natural rubber has still not lost its value. There are many special supplies that must use natural rubber, such as soap, environmentally friendly paint, and descendant isolators...

So, if Parker didn't make himself happy, the ranch would have to have another source of income. "where?"

Wang Lu couldn't wait to ask Parker. Parker didn't dare to show off, so he turned around and led the way:
"Boss, come with me. We didn't even notice those rubber forests before. If it weren't for the purpose of driving away those wild animals, I almost missed them!"

After climbing two mountains along the way, Wang Lu and his party, led by Parker, finally saw the mountain top covered with vast rubber forests.

Rubber trees are trees, so the height of several mature species is more than 20 meters, with an average of about 30 meters.

Knowledgeable people can identify this kind of tree by its leaf shape, markings and other characteristics. Wang Lu has never seen a natural rubber tree before, but he believes that people like Parker who have lived in the wild all year round will not admit the mistake. What's more, there are two professionals behind him.

It took almost no time for Professor Qin and the two of them to just glance at each other and come to a conclusion:

"Yes, it's a natural rubber tree!"

This conclusion made Wang Lu's heart beat faster all of a sudden.

Even Parker, the guy, directly picked up the hunting knife on his waist, then stepped forward and cut a hole in a natural rubber tree without hesitation. After waiting quietly for a while, everyone saw Among them, he saw drops of milky white viscous liquid seeping out from the cut tree body, and then gathered together and flowed downward to form a line.

Now it is basically certain that the large forest in front of us is full of natural rubber trees, and the milky white liquid that just flowed out is natural rubber!
"Boss, these rubber trees are all mature species and can be tapped directly. As long as you plan well, you can create profits that last for decades!"

Parker also shouted to Wang Lu excitedly.

Wang Lu also silently calculated in his mind. Under normal circumstances, after the rubber trees planted in the rubber plantations reach the rubber-producing woods, as long as they are properly planned, they can even continue tapping operations for thirty to forty years!

This is an industry that can be passed on to the next generation!

It only takes six years from the beginning of planting for a rubber tree to grow to the age of rubber production. This ratio of input and output is very cost-effective!

Not to mention, the entire hilltop in front of Wang Lu was covered with natural rubber trees that had considerable economic value.

As Parker said, this is a real bargain.

"Parker, take the guys to find out the specific area of ​​this rubber forest. I need to know its size as soon as possible!"

"No problem boss!"

When he discovered the rubber forest just now, he couldn't wait to go back and report to Wang Lu. He didn't have time to figure out the scale of the rubber forest, so he took action immediately.

The other veterans also cooperated and scattered in all directions. I believe it won't take long to roughly estimate the area of ​​​​this rubber forest.

Wang Lu is waiting with great expectation to see how much economic value this rubber forest can bring to him!
“Today’s trip was really worth it!”
