Before Li Xian returned to this era, there was a locust plague in Weifang, Shandong Province in 2017. At that time, the foodies in Shandong Province gave full play to the power of the "creatures at the top of the food chain" and ate the locusts that ravaged thousands of acres of cultivated land in just two days.

This incident caused quite a stir on the Internet at the beginning, and the people of the Celestial Empire gave full play to the spirit of entertainment, calling it "the victory of foodies", and triggered the glorious achievements of Chinese foodies such as "crayfish", "American carp" and "Danish oysters" when facing the invasion of species several times.

Li Xian had seen that news at the beginning.

Combined with the current situation in Shandong, he has a new understanding of the attributes of foodies for the people of the Celestial Empire.

really

No matter what the era, the power of foodies is great.

However, Li Xian also knows deeply that the locust plague in Weifang in 2017 is not comparable with the current locust plague.

Why?

Because the scale of the locust plague in 17 years is nothing compared to the current one.

There is no comparison.

What was the situation in Weifang? Four villages were affected by the disaster, and about 1,000 mu of corn fields were damaged, of which 500 mu had a 20 percent drop in yield. The yield of 500 mu was reduced by 30 percent.

How big is that?

In 2017, agricultural drones, pesticide machines, and large-scale automated insecticide spraying equipment have been put into use in town-level units, and with the development of agricultural science and technology, a complete and effective set of locust prevention and control methods has also been formed. It can control the disaster to the minimum damage range at the first time when the locust plague is launched.

Even the means of communication, 17 years and now are not comparable.

At that time, I used my mobile phone to send a circle of friends, and my relatives and friends drove happily to catch grasshoppers.

But now, in this era when communication is basically based on roaring and transportation is basically on walking, it is not so easy to organize a nationwide encirclement and annihilation war to eradicate grasshoppers in the early stage of the locust plague.

Previously, Li Xian asked major hotels to promote the grasshopper feast of locust Tengda, which was nothing more than to mobilize the people's understanding of grasshoppers and stimulate the people's foodie attributes to a certain extent.

But it is certainly unreliable to completely hand over this locust plague to the mouths of the common people.

First, the locust plague is too serious, and second, it is ...... This grasshopper, that is, it is okay to try it as a snack.

After all, it can't replace staple food, is it?

These links are all pretended in Li Xian's heart.

Before coming to Shandong, he was prepared.

The most critical link in this extermination of locusts to prove the value of entrepreneurs is to fully tap the economic value of locusts!

……

After several days of preparation, the exhibition hall located in Jinan Business Building was lively on this day.

The red banner and the inflatable arch shine against each other, and the large banner of "Shandong Taishan Chamber of Commerce Locust Products Foreign Trade Exhibition" is particularly conspicuous above the glass door at the entrance of the exhibition hall.

Before nine o'clock, no less than 100 people had gathered inside and outside the exhibition hall.

The high-power speaker is playing popular tracks, and it is very lively.

Dozens of food production, pharmaceutical and medicinal material processing, fertilizer and breeding enterprises of Taishan Chamber of Commerce cleaned up the exhibition hall again last night, and the carefully selected salesmen wore uniform uniforms one by one, and hung bronzing oblique banners on their shoulders to greet the guests.

At the door, as soon as Li Xian, who had specially gotten up early in the morning, arrived, he was surrounded by a group of members of the Taishan Chamber of Commerce.

"Chairman Li, I have fifteen buckets of water in my heart, seven up and eight down! We haven't made a way out of this thing in China, so we can directly export it, and get these little Japanese and Korean sticks, can it be spiritual?"

Liu Jian'an, the director of Jinan Yuanhui Medicinal Materials Factory, asked worriedly.

His concerns are not unique.

In fact, everyone didn't have much confidence in this wave of operations led by Li Xian.

Why?

Because from Li Xian to Shandong, he called on everyone to develop grasshopper products and now exhibit and sell them to the outside world, a total of just over a week!

A considerable number of these entrepreneurs present have been exposed to the export business.

For the export of the various customs declaration and inspection links are well known, similar to Quansheng Food Factory, Yuanhui Medicinal Materials, which has made a certain share of the export trade enterprises, but also know how difficult it is for foreign businessmen to get along.

This wave of fast-paced operations, everyone is a little empty in their hearts.

"Haha,"

Looking at the worries of a group of honest people, Li Xian shook his head.

Although the big guy calls Goryeo stick and little Japan, in these years, whenever he deals with foreign businessmen, he looks down on himself and lowers his value by a step in business activities, which seems to be a common problem of Chinese entrepreneurs.

Now that China has just opened up a market economy, it is the starting point for the rapid development of foreign trade.

In the past ten years of reform and opening up, the asymmetry of import and export trade, and the border trade with no production capacity and only a market have frightened Chinese businessmen.

What's there, actually!

Just as Li Xian pursed his lips, a rattling sound came from the exhibition hall.

In front of Xu Zhenguang's feed booth, several Japanese people were talking to the salesman.

The tone is obviously not very polite.

Seeing this scene, Li Xian frowned.

He raised his leg and walked over.

"What's going on?"

When he walked to the front of the booth with everyone, Xu Zhenguang was talking anxiously to the interpreter specially invited by the exhibition hall.

Seeing Li Xian, Xu Zhenguang said with a bitter face: "These little Japanese fell in love with our feed and wanted to order some." But not satisfied with the price, saying that it can only give half of the price. ”

"That's what you said?" Seeing that several Japanese people looked at themselves with arrogant expressions, Li Xian looked at the translator.

Without waiting for the translator to squeak, a Japanese merchant led by him muttered again.

"What did he say?" Li Xian pointed directly to the translator.

"Mr. Sakai said that there is a locust plague in our province now, and the products in the exhibition hall are all by-products of the disaster...... That is to say, our feed is almost a cost-free thing, and the price now sold to them is inflated and unacceptable. Moreover, Mr. Sakai is worried that we are a one-shot deal, and that the product will not be available as the locust plague subsides. So ask us to lower the price. ”

Li Xian nodded.

I see.

The Japanese are not stupid, and it is estimated that they have inquired about the locust plague in the province now.

This is to take advantage of it.

"You tell them. Li Xian snorted, "This is not a stall, not a place to bargain in half." If you want to take advantage of it, go to other places. ”

"Chairman Lee, so straightforward...... Isn't that okay?"

It's a bit of a rigid!

Li Xian waved his hand, "Original translation,"

At Li Xian's insistence, the translator muttered.

Sure enough, after hearing the translation, several Japanese immediately raised their eyebrows and said a few words about Baga Yalou and other things.

The one who was the first of them, who seemed to be surnamed Sakai, snorted heavily at Li Xian, turned around and muttered and walked towards the door.

"Tell him that when he walks out of this door, he can't find such cheap East Asian locusts and Chinese rice locusts in the world. ”

Looking at the backs of those Japanese, Li Xian hooked the corners of his mouth and ordered the translator.

The translator was originally from Xu Zhenguang's company, so it was easy to have business come to the door early in the morning, but I didn't want to be so bald.

hurriedly shouted at the backs of the Japanese.

With that, the Japanese, who had already stepped out of the threshold, paused.

Looking at a few Japanese people with calm faces, they turned back again.

Li Xian smiled.

"Trade is all about communication. What is the meaning of buying and selling? To each take what he needs is to buy and sell! You should be polite to the foreigners who come to participate in the exhibition, but you should not be particularly polite. What are the advantages of our grasshopper, I have made it clear to you before. High protein, low fat, rich in all kinds of amino acids, whether it is used as a raw material for nutritional supplements, or as a feed raw material for high-end aquaculture industry, there is a big market in foreign countries! To put it mildly, in Japan and South Korea, if you let them start such a large-scale locust plague, they can't get up!"

"Don't take yourself as dry food, make yourself miserable, and let people eat to death. Understood?"

Seeing that several Japanese were being chased away by Li Xian and turned back, he talked to the translator again with a frown.

A group of member entrepreneurs of Taishan Chamber of Commerce nodded deeply.

It seems that this locust is a disaster in the province, and it is really a treasure to take it abroad!

"Huh. ”

Seeing that the Japanese man came back and talked to the translator for a few words, he followed the sales manager to the reception room for further details.

"Alright, it's up to you to show your own powers. Secretary Zu called me in the morning and asked me to come over, and you guys are doing it well. Count the turnover in the evening and send me a letter. ”
