Volume 3 Chapter 37 A Clear Desire for Control
Li Sheng didn't know how to answer Tia's question. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
He was not an orator, and he didn't think as deeply about the relationship between power and wealth. He is indeed rich, at least richer than 99.99% of the people in the world, but it is not right to say that he has more power than those people.
He smiled and said: "Wealth is not equal to power, but wealth is the only way to have power, but it is eternal." ”
And so ends this serious conversation. The traffic moved slowly down the street, and the two talked about some gossip, and returned to the hotel at half past seven in the evening.
After dinner, Fernando finally came to the door.
Originally, Fernando wanted to take Li Sheng for a pastime, but he knew that Tia was also brought by Li Sheng. He knew it wasn't going to happen.
Speaking of which, Li Sheng's attitude towards Tia made him quite puzzled. Tia's special way of existence is known to anyone who knows Li Sheng. If it was because he was worried that Tia might be treated badly when she returned home, but after so much time, the Gilolo tribe also moved out of the forest. Even if Tia can't be allowed to return to the Gilolo tribe, she can live independently, and there are many houses in the Silent Farm. But Li Sheng still lives with her.
He had great expectations for Li Sheng, or indeed for Silent Farm, and before he could figure out Li Sheng's true attitude towards Tia, he felt that he needed to be properly cautious in his attitude towards the indigenous girl.
When he arrived, Tia said hello and went back to her room so as not to disturb their conversation. He didn't feel anything about it either. She is still a child. However, this also shows that neither she nor Li Sheng thinks of her as a hostess.
"Is this a watch?" asked Li Sheng as he saw Fernando put a flat square black box on the table.
Fernando smiled and nodded, "Tomorrow is the wedding, I'll send it to you first." Don't worry, I'll deduct the money from your income myself. ”
Li Sheng opened the box and took a look, and inside were two watches, one large and one small, studded with broken diamonds. He closed the box and said, "Very beautiful watch." It's definitely a gift you can't refuse. ”
Fernando smiled and said, "Raimondo is very fond of watches, and he intends to collect at least five thousand watches of value." I think he'll love it. ”
"Okay, Fernando. I guess you had some idea when you invited me to Raimondo's wedding. ”
Fernando was not disgusted by Li Sheng's directness. He laughs and says, "There are some ideas. In fact, Redondo also cares about your farm. After all, your farm has been a focal point in Brazil lately. However, he is not familiar with you, so he did not think of inviting you this time. ”
Li Sheng shrugged his shoulders in understanding. It is normal for Westerners to reject people, while it is very embarrassing for people to be rejected. Therefore, it is usually more cautious when inviting people you don't know.
Fernando adds: "The Nonadon family was originally a ruined aristocrat in Portugal, but later came to Brazil and started out on coffee farming. Although they have made achievements in many fields, agriculture is still one of the roots of their family. ”
When Li Sheng heard this, he seemed to understand what he meant: "You mean to say that he is interested in the Silent Farm?"
Fernando smiled and didn't answer, but said, "Raimondo is the best in the new generation of their family. He has chosen to go into politics. But you know, politics requires money to do the thrust in the back. The Nonadon family has a large population, and the younger generation has no way to get more resources to support, so he hopes to have his own resources. Like money. ”
Li Sheng's heart jumped, and he said with some uncertainty: "You mean that he wants me to provide financial support for his future political career?"
"Haha, I think you misunderstood me. Raimondo: He talked to me about his thoughts. He felt that if he relied on others to fund him, he would have a lot more constraints on his actions. So he hopes that he can have his own business. Of course, he needs to be in politics, not himself. At most, some shares in it. ”
Brazil's economic situation for officials is relatively lax, and the fact that some large companies have people who can directly hold governor-like positions, and Raimondo's ownership of shares in some companies does not affect his path to politics.
Li Sheng frowned and said, "If he wants to invest in Silent Farm, I think I can only say sorry to him." ”
The Silent Farm is his roots, and he must have it all. If someone wants to take Silent Farm, they can, but they have to buy it all at the right price. As for what will turn out of the situation after the purchase, it is not something he can guarantee. He dared to let the farm sit there with great pride, without the slightest fear of being coveted, because he could transform the farm and make it the way it was.
So he was a little angry at his doubts, but he didn't think the sky was going to fall.
But Fernando laughed and said, "We all know that Silent Farm can become like that, and there must be your unique way." And I know that the Silent Farm is the Silent Farm because you are its owner. ”
In fact, Fernando also thought about joining the entity of the Silent Farm, but after thinking about it, he finally gave up on the idea. He discovers that Li Sheng doesn't just think of Silent Farm as a business, but as a home. No one would allow an outsider to break into their home.
He laughs and says, "Actually, he's very optimistic about the grass at Silent Farm. He inevitably misunderstood Li Sheng again, adding. He hopes to represent the forage business of Silent Farm. ”
Li Sheng didn't expect that he had just started his forage business, and others had already been eyeing him. He stood up, poured two glasses of red wine, and said, "Maybe that's not what he meant." ”
Fernando took the wine and said, "I, and Ali, are indeed very interested in the pastures of the Silent Farm. ”
Li Sheng was slightly stunned, but sat down and said with a smile: "Prince Ali also has a fancy for those grasses? ”
"Actually, I have this idea, and it was also reminded by Ali. "Fernando is trying to convince Li Sheng to start a forage business this time.
In fact, he was already planning. Previously, he had been vigorously expanding the beef market at Silent Farm, because he could see that Li Sheng was thinking of using grass to create a high-end beef brand. As long as this goal is achieved, Li Sheng will be able to investigate the sale of large quantities of forage.
And now he felt the time had come. Although the market occupied by Silent Farm Beef is not very large, the brand has already taken shape. Even if the grass is sold now, it will be at least a few months before Silent Farm will be hit by other beef that uses Silent Farm grass. By that time, he was confident that Silent Beef would form a deep-rooted brand.
Li Sheng knew he had to consider his suggestion. Getting others involved in the Silent Farm pasture business may hurt his interests, but the pressure on him will also be much less. At the same time, it can also provide some protection for the Silent Farm. Of course, that would require tying some people with energy to this chain.
Raimondo is clearly that kind of person. In Brazil, his energy may be stronger than Fernando, and Prince Ali in the Middle East is even less comparable. Maybe with the same interests as such a person, he will have a lot less trouble in the future.
It's just that he's also thinking about how much pasture Silent Farm needs to dedicate to the pasture business.
As it stands, the limit yield of the farm's pastures would be more than double that of his previous estimate if all the pastures were fertilized with green manure. Even according to his initial conservative estimates, he did not plan the number of cattle he raised based on the full amount of pasture yield.
At current theoretical values, the farm's forage production could feed at least 15 million cattle. In his plan, the farm will only raise 1.8 million cattle at most. One square kilometer of grassland breeds 180 head of cattle, which is actually not a small amount.
It's just that if you analyze it economically, if you only raise cattle, it will definitely be extremely low in the utilization rate of pastures. That's why he has plans to sell forage. It's just that he just has such a plan. At least until the end of this rainy season, there are no plans to implement it.
"I think you have more confidence in that grass than I do. ”
"Fred's cattle were also bought by me. ”
Fernando said an answer that made Li Sheng a little surprised. But this answer also completely solved his doubts.
If the cattle slaughtered by Fred were of good enough quality, Fernando did have good reason to assume the role of pasture. In fact, Li Sheng also began to consider selling forage because Fred expanded the scale of cattle raising.
Li Sheng pondered for a while and said, "Then how do you think it's better to operate?"
Fernando heard him say this and knew that the forage business should be possible. However, his plan was to plan for the four of them to work together, and he, Ali, Raimondo, and Li Sheng, who originally proposed the idea. If you want to discuss how to do this, it's best if four people get together and then discuss. But after thinking about it, he finally felt that communicating with Li Sheng first could reduce some differences.
He straightened up, leaned forward slightly, and said, "I personally suggest buying some pastures and planting grass specifically." ”
Fernando's suggestion can be said to maximize the benefits, and if done well, it can even occupy the entire world's cattle industry fattening feed market. But Li Sheng couldn't do that.
He shook his head and said, "That can't be!" he thought for a moment and said. "As you said. Silent Farm was made like that because of my presence. As for the solution, you can consider it a mystery. Anyway, you have to know that I can't make the pasture anywhere else the same as the Silent Farm. ”
What he said was not a lie, only the land that belonged to him completely could he establish a docking channel with the farm. Moreover, this place must be a contiguous piece.
When Fernando heard him say this, although he was skeptical, he also knew that he was resolute enough to reject this suggestion. He had no choice but to settle for the next best thing: "So how much grassland can be set aside by Silent Farm for forage sales?"
Li Sheng thought for a moment and said, "Three-quarters at most." "This number may not be the limit, but it is not much more. When he returns, he will have to re-plan the cattle project. The herd must be restricted to a certain range. However, according to the yield of pasture, although the herd is denser, it is not so much that the cattle will not degrade the pasture by grazing.
