Chapter 526: No Land Can Be Planted (Page 1/1)
Chen Dahe leaned back in his chair, looked at the ceiling above his head, thought for a while and said, "Well, I mainly want to know about the cultivation of cash crops in Africa, as well as the tribal relationship where these crops are located, okay?"
"It's okay to go to these places," Thierry still frowned, "but this requires someone who knows a lot about African agriculture, and when I get to Mauritius, I'll have to ask our Minister of Agriculture first and check the relevant information." β
"Cash crops?" Lisa also poked her head out from behind and asked curiously, "Chen, why are you investigating these things? Could it be that you want to farm in Africa?"
"Farming?" Thierry also reacted at this time, his eyes were full of surprise, "I said brother, you don't really plan to farm there, do you? Although the grain industry is also a good industry, if you choose Africa, it will be a bad luck!"
"Huh?" Hearing this, Chen Dahe's eyelids jumped, "Lao Di, is there anything special about this?"
"It's too big," Thierry looked left and right, and found that in the entire first-class cabin, in addition to the three of them, there were only Ye Zhenggen and Tuan, so he lowered his voice and said, "It's really not that I hack the people of my own state, many people know that most countries in Africa gained independence in the fifties and sixties, but do you know what kind of difference there is in food production before and after independence?"
Without waiting for Chen Dahe to react, Thierry gave an answer, "In the past, when those whites were there, Africa was a famous grain producing area in the world, and a large amount of grain could be produced every year to supply Europe, but after those whites left, most African countries became grain importers. Australia and Southeast Asia buy grain, but despite this, there are still famines every now and then, and it is only through international relief that there are barely large-scale starvation incidents, and there are three main reasons for the conflicts between various tribes on the land of Africa, minerals, water sources, and the last one is food!
Lisa also added fire to the back, "Chen, in addition to Mauritius and Madagascar's food production can remain stable, only a few countries on the African continent such as South Africa can have stable food production, but that's because these countries are still under the control of white people, if you want to invest in the food industry, then come to our Madagascar, Mauritius is too small, there are really not many places for you to toss!"
was slapped by Lisa, and Thierry just shrugged his shoulders and nodded at Chen Dahe in agreement, " Lisa is right, you don't have much money, you say less or less, you can toss something out of Madagascar, Africa's food production is very low, there are many reasons, but there are only two main reasons, one is that the people who grow food do not work hard, three days of fishing and two days of drying nets, that day is too lazy to even look at me red, the other is that the technical level is too low, when the white people withdrew, they took away all the agricultural tools and agricultural technology experts, now many countries, or tribal agriculture planting level is almost not much different from a thousand years ago, if you are willing to invest money, and then import advanced agricultural technology from China, maybe it is really a little profitableγ β
In his impression, Chen Dahe only had the more than 30 million US dollars he gave on hand, although he also had some shares in Jones Company, but according to his guess, it should not be much, and most of them would not play a role, so he said this.
"Uh-huh," Lisa nodded, and continued to add, "Just now Thierry also said that there is a problem that foreigners invest in agriculture in Africa, and there is one problem that is unavoidable, that is, tribes, if you invest in a certain place, you must obtain the support of the local tribe, or, you can get the support of the government of that country, and establish an independent army to protect the farms, just like the white people in those days, otherwise, just wait to be harassed by them every day!" They won't move, but they're more active than anyone else when it comes to the autumn breeze! Believe me, you won't like them!"
Chen Dahe touched his chin and thought about it, then looked at Lisa, then at Thierry, shrugged and smiled, "I didn't say that I have to invest in agriculture in Africa, I just want to understand the impact of climate, soil and cash crop distribution in Africa first, and I plan to sort out a paper first." β
"Really?" Thierry's eyes were full of suspicion, "really just for a paper." β
"This is one of them," Chen Dahe said with a smile, "the other is to travel by the way, the African continent is magnificent and changeable, don't go and see how to do it, of course, if there is a good investment opportunity, maybe I will make a move." β
Whether it's a thesis or a tour, these are all disguises, and the last one is the point, the investment opportunity is there, it depends on whether you dare to go on it. However, this investment he wants to be as concealed as possible, if a little bit of wind is revealed in the future, it doesn't matter if Thierry knows, isn't he already ambushed here, he can't say that he is lying to him.
"That makes sense," Thierry and Lisa smiled at each other, and then returned to their seats. Okay, wait until you get to Africa and you will take a slow look, however, if you want to invest in agriculture, Madagascar is indeed your best choice, for example, one of your most popular crops there, rice, is widely cultivated here, but unfortunately Madagascar's industrial base is too poor, so if you can, I suggest that you should not invest directly in agriculture, but invest in crop processing related industries, so that it is a win-win situation for you and Lisa. β
Chen Dahe's head was biased, and he just wanted to ask, you have an industrial products trading company, why don't you think about it for Lisa, and invest in a few factories over there? But halfway through it, he held back, these two have a big family behind them, unlike their own preferences, maybe the cooperation between the two sides has not yet been discussed, maybe they have already started to cooperate, but they don't know, it's better not to talk about it.
So he snapped his fingers lightly, "Okay, Lisa, I'll invest five million dollars, give you a grain processing plant, and give you five percent of the management shares, okay?"
Anyway, it's going to be invested, and it's not bad to invest here, and it can also give cover to other investments, and there will definitely be no problems with Lisa's look, so you can save worry and effort.
"Really?" Lisa pulled the back of the chair in front of her and looked at Chen Dahe with joy, "Are you sure you invested so much money?"
Thierry also has money, but every large investment requires the consent of the family behind him, Madagascar's industrial base is weak, and Mauritius is not much stronger, so before he has spare strength, he can only give priority to investing in the country, and he can't take care of Lisa.
"Hmm,"
As soon as Chen Dahe nodded, Thierry smiled behind him, "Old Chen, it's interesting enough, in this way, I have covered the equipment of your factory, all the cost price, okay!"
Chen Dahe pouted, "Cut, the benefit is not for your daughter-in-law, at least invite one more seafood banquet." β
"No problem," Thierry clapped his hands and grinned, "When you get to Mauritius, I'm sure you'll eat seafood until you vomit!"
In Lisa's laughter and scolding, Chen Dahe's face was speechless, is this a treat or a harm? !
