Chapter 14 Final Decision

There is no such thing as Chinese cabbage in Africa, and in fact, it originated in China, which spread from China in the late 19th century, and then spread to RB Europe and the United States. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Chinese cabbage has two main characteristics, one is cheap, and the other is high yield.

Saying that it is cheap, it means that this thing is not harsh on the requirements of the conditions, almost anywhere can be planted, and his yield is outrageously high, planting a piece of Chinese cabbage, it is enough for a family of seven to consume vegetables for a whole winter, and the north because of the winter, so there has been no green vegetables to eat, so in winter, almost door-to-door will use the cellar to store Chinese cabbage, and this thing not only does not have too harsh requirements for growing conditions, but also is easy to preserve, as long as the cellar remains dry and not frozen in a winter, it will not rot, at most it will shrink one or two circles。

And because of these two characteristics, a large amount of Chinese cabbage can not be eaten, and as a result, an animal is cheaper, yes, that is, pigs!

People who have raised pigs know that the amount of pig food is really large, ancient people do not want to modern, modern pig breeding not only uses bran and feed, and even sometimes provides some coarse grains, but in ancient times, people themselves are not enough, let alone for pig food to eat, even if it is a thing like bran, in ancient times, there were some people who could not eat, and it was not the turn of pigs to eat!

In ancient times, grain and even chaff will not be given to pigs to eat, but people want to eat meat, pigs want to grow, not to eat can not work, so most of the ancient pigs are free-range, let them go out to arch the grass roots to eat, and in this way, the amount of pig activity is relatively large, plus the food is not much, so they are relatively thin, the modern big flower pig, and all kinds of pigs in ancient times, the ancient pigs are smaller, not much meat, less fat, more lean meat, so the ancient heroes of the rivers and lakes said to eat meat and drink wine, the meat here refers to the fat meat。

But after the cabbage was popularized, everyone found that the yield of this kind of thing was so terrible that even if they tried to eat it, they couldn't eat it at all.

So, the extra cabbage was fed to the pigs, the reason is very simple, the yield of cabbage is high, the pig's food is large, learn from each other's strengths, just right.

So the pig's good day came, a large number of cabbage was sent to the pigs, and the pigs did not have to go out to find food every day, so they ate and drank, drank and ate, and gradually became fat and big-eared, and then, it was the New Year, and then there was no more.

The yield of Chinese cabbage is high, the price is expensive, and it is very scarce in Africa, which Lin Quan already knew when he was on the construction site, and Zhang Chuan also empathized with this, so he did not object to Lin Quan's suggestion, but he considered the terrible yield of Chinese cabbage, should all 100 acres of land be used to grow Chinese cabbage?

Wouldn't that be able to produce 500 tons of Chinese cabbage at one time?

500 tons of Chinese cabbage is not a small amount, the so-called scarce is expensive, so many Chinese cabbage suddenly poured into the market, that is really to make the cabbage immediately fall back to the price of cabbage, so too many things, but it is not good, because this will reduce profits.

"It's okay to grow Chinese cabbage, but you can't grow more, even if we are not very far from Dar es Salaam and not far from the capital Dodoma, but the number of Chinese workers in Tanzania is limited, although hundreds of thousands of workers can eliminate hundreds of tons of cabbage a day, but they can't eat Chinese cabbage every day, and in order to maintain the high price of Chinese cabbage here, we can't let it flow into the market too much!"

I have to say that Zhang Chuan's consideration is very correct, although the number of Chinese workers in Tanzania is quite large, but this does not mean that these workers will buy vegetables from them, they can sell things to half of the people, it is already very remarkable.

And the taste of Chinese cabbage is actually not very good, this thing has a high water content, in China is the price of cabbage, here because the quantity is scarce, it is difficult to buy, so it will be sold at a high price, but if Zhang Chuan they succeed in opening a farm here, and then make money, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not cause others to blush, when the time comes, such simple and easy to grow vegetables like Chinese cabbage, it is likely that it will really become common, so it is very important to make money, but it is also important to be low-key.

"In that case, then we'll only plant half of the cabbage, and then plant something else!"

Lin Quan had no choice but to give up his previous thoughts, their current problem is that the market has not been fully developed, like now, they are relying on Zhang Chuan's relationship to obtain those orders, but these orders are actually not solid, they belong to that kind of human account, today said that the purchase, tomorrow, it may change, and others can also use this way to supply these companies, so if you can change this way of supply and marketing, and sign a stable agreement with them, then the situation will be much better.

"It's very difficult, they don't stay here for a long time, and the workers don't stay for a long time, so they usually don't sign a contract with us, because they can leave at any time as soon as the work is done, or they can go to another place. ”

Zhang Chuan shook his head, he naturally thought about this matter, the difficulty in this is not small, China is a society of personal feelings, even if it is abroad, people pay attention to human feelings, things like contracts, too written and too rigid, you ask the other party for help, the other party is selling you a favor, he may be happy in his heart, but if you ask him to cooperate, he may not pay attention to you, the status of the two sides is actually very unequal.

Since this aspect is indeed very good, Lin Quan didn't say anything, after all, these orders were pulled by Zhang Chuan, and he knew much more about this aspect than himself, he was just a part-time worker, and he said his suggestions, even if he fulfilled his responsibilities.

As for whether the boss adopts it or not, it is not something he can control.

In the end, after careful consideration, Zhang Chuan decided to plant half of the Chinese cabbage on the farm, and the rest to grow other things, such as white radish, spinach, cabbage and even chestnuts and walnuts.

Chestnut and walnut are two kinds of nuts native to China, in autumn and winter, this kind of thing is very popular with the majority of Chinese people, but in Africa, this thing is not produced, all rely on imports, and chestnut and walnut although it is relatively easy to preserve, but the export price of this thing is not cheap, plus Africans do not like to eat this kind of thing, they like to eat fresh fruits, so this thing is almost not seen in Tanzania, Zhang Chuan thinks, plant this thing, maybe there will be a market.
