After some friendly negotiations, Lin Quan signed a new cooperation agreement with Shrek, which added the supply of some succulents on the original basis, and Lin Quan would open a farm in the UK and provide direct supply here. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

But in this way, Lin Quan had to find a suitable place to start a farm, this place should not be too far from London, and it was best to be in the south of London, so that it would be closer to the farms in Africa, and close to the east, so that what was cultivated here could be sold to Europe.

In the end, Lin Quan chose a port city - Portsmouth!

Portsmouth is one of the most famous ports in the United Kingdom, with one of the highest cargo throughput in Europe, but this place is also a very famous naval port, where Nelson's battleship Victory, who participated in the Battle of Trajafar, is docked.

As the second most densely populated city in the UK, Portsmouth is well located close to the sea, and at a lower latitude, temperatures are higher than most of the UK, with warm winters and cool summers.

The land here is much lower than London, and the climate is much better than that in the north, so it finally became Lin Quan's favorite choice!

It took only an hour and a half to drive from London to the port city to the south.

Standing on the beach, seeing the waves crashing against the reef, breathing in the slightly salty moist air in the air, looking at the blue sea, and listening to the whistles of the ships coming in and out of the busy port, Lin Quan felt that his whole body was relaxed.

The scenery here is not the same as that of Bordeaux, there is a sense of busyness and a sense of life, while the Bordeaux region has a warm sunshine and laid-back people and large vineyards, the feeling of the two is different, very different.

"Sir, this land has been in business for more than 300 years, as the royal family has been inherited to this day, here carries the glory and glory of the Brighton family, if it weren't for the old Mr. Brighton's lack of energy because of his age, he would probably have continued to operate!"

After Lin Quan and Denise came to Portsmouth, they didn't go around to play, but talked about business first.

They found a farmer who could sell his land and met with the middleman he had commissioned, Henry Junk.

"Mr. Henry, can we go and see the farm first, who asked you to introduce us to the farm before, but we still don't have a very intuitive feeling, and your offer is a bit expensive, 500,000 pounds to buy 300 acres of land, this price is a bit expensive!"

As soon as Denise left London, it was as if she was a different person, and her mood changed a lot, at least not as she had been with her worries on her face all day.

300 acres of land, the bid is 500,000 pounds, in fact, this price is really not expensive, one acre of land is only 1,666 pounds, and according to the RMB calculation, it is only 17,000, this price is really cheap.

However, in the United Kingdom, with the shrinking population, and young people are becoming more and more reluctant to work in the fields, so their arable land has also been abandoned, some of the terrain is flat, and it is better to say that some places where mechanized operations can be used, at least the farmers can use machinery to help, and their workload is not large, but some hilly areas or uneven places have a lot of problems.

Fortunately, the population of Britain is not large, so the annual food can basically maintain a balance, mainly due to the fact that their land can be used a lot, if it is divided according to the terrain like China, then the British will starve to death!

Lin Quan thinks this price is very cost-effective, but he knows the reason for asking for a price to pay back, so Denise is not satisfied with the price, so he naturally has to show this attitude.

"Yes! You see, Mr. Henry, Portsmouth is mostly mountainous, and our old Mr. Brighton's farm may be mostly mountainous! If this is mountainous land, we will have to level the land when we buy it, which will cost a lot of money, and we will not be able to farm the land ourselves, and we will have to spend a lot of wages to hire workers to farm the land, we really have no profit, and those low-priced grains from Europe, such as those from Ukraine and Poland, can crush us! The price is really not right! ”

Britain is also a member of the European Union, and among the member states of the European Union, the movement of people and trade is very convenient, which makes the economic vitality of the whole of Europe increase, and also promotes the redistribution of resources, so that rich countries can buy agricultural and sideline products and cheap raw materials from poor countries, and poor countries can obtain funds and orders from rich countries to help their own development.

For the three countries of Britain, France and Germany, their populations are the three largest in Europe, basically more than 80 million people, and although their agriculture is not bad, but because of the relationship between human costs, their agriculture in the whole Europe is certainly not as competitive as the countries of Eastern Europe, so for the countries of Western Europe, especially the farmers of those old developed countries, European integration is not good news for them.

In the four years from 2008 to 2012, the recession in the United Kingdom was very obvious, the most important manifestation was the British pound, Lin Quan remembered that when he was a child, the pound was very before, a pound could be exchanged for 16 yuan, almost 1:2 for the dollar, and now, a pound is only about 10 yuan, about 1.4 dollars, if it is denominated in dollars, the UK's GDP has not grown much, It's been standing still, and it's even regressing.

France has Airbus, Germany has Volkswagen, and what is there in the UK? Although the financial industry is developed, but this is a virtual economy, and the virtual economy without the support of the real economy is all bubbles, so the problems that the UK is currently facing are very serious, no, because of the uneven distribution of internal resources, Scotland, which occupies oil resources, is splitting, and the Scots, like the Irish, are becoming more and more hostile to the UK, and every time the Premier League team goes to the home of the Soviet Super League team Celtic, it is like going to the devil's away, don't be booed!

When Henry heard the two of them say this, he was immediately anxious, and hurriedly waved his hand: "Two, it's not like this, the location of Mr. Brighton's farm is very good, just by the sea, not only flat land, but also very well cared for, the scenery is good, the price of 500,000 pounds is really hard to find with a lantern!" ”
