Chapter 21: I forgot to shake my body
Brazil has a peculiar political habit of granting a [special] amnesty every 10 years to allow illegal immigrants to naturalize. So it is easy for smugglers to acquire www.biquge.info citizenship here as long as they are not repatriated during this period.
When the plane flew over the ranch, Li Sheng noticed that someone was busy building a house, and asked Babur, "Aren't the houses enough?"
Zhang said that the ranch is too big, and if everyone lives in the current wooden house area, the distance to the pastoral area is too far and inconvenient. So I'm going to build some wooden houses. In addition, he said that in the future, he may have to build some cowsheds for cows to give birth. ”
Lin Ming felt that this idea was very correct. There are so many cattle raised in the pasture that it will take a lot of time to find the cows that are about to give birth. It would be much more convenient if they could be managed centrally. Larger cows may not have to worry about the weather, but newborn calves are better off staying in the barn during the rainy season. However, it is only needed by the cattle that are produced. It's a bit of an exaggeration to build a barn that can hold all the cattle. And he believes that the cattle on the farm will not have problems because of the rainy season.
After the plane landed, he said to Babur, "Let that Zhang come to me." I wanted to ask him what else he could raise on the ranch. ”
Babur found a walkie-talkie and called someone.
Soon, a swarthy middle-aged Chinese man found Li Sheng. He knew that the young man in front of him was the boss, and when they met for the first time, the middle-aged man was a little restrained.
"Your surname is Zhang?" Li Sheng said in Huaxia. Look at this man with a Chinese face. "It's been a long time since I've been in Brazil. ”
Maybe it was because he heard his mother tongue, the middle-aged man relaxed a lot and said, "Boss, just call me Zhang Feng." I've been in Brazil for eight years. Have been working on the farm and herding cattle for people. ”
Li Sheng took him into his house, sat him down, poured two cups of tea from a pot of tea, and said, "I can't find any good tea here, so I'll just take it." ”
Zhang Feng grinned and said, "The tea here is really not good. ”
After Li Sheng also sat down, he said, "Lao Zhang, I'll call you that in the future." ”
"Okay. ”
"Lao Zhang, I asked you to come this time to ask what else you think can be raised here?
Zhang Feng pondered for a moment, hesitated and said, "Boss, this is a tropical rainforest, it's too sultry." Animals with too long hair are not easy to raise. If you raise sheep, I don't think it's very suitable. If you are raising goats, you can consider it. However, the benefits of goats are a bit low. ”
Li Sheng didn't expect that this place was not suitable for raising sheep. He was thinking about raising some sheep for both meat and wool. But goats are not bad if they can be raised.
However, Zhang Feng put forward another idea: "Boss, we can still raise pigs." I've seen the grass we grow and feel that it can be used as pigweed as well. However, it still needs to be fed. ”
Li Sheng thought for a moment and said, "It's a bit troublesome to feed the feed." But if you feed sweet potatoes or corn, do you think it's okay?"
"Absolutely. Zhang Feng said with a smile. "Pigs like that are the best. However, there is another one that pig raising needs to be specially built pig pens. If stocked, they prefer arched ground, which can destroy pastures. ”
This is also a problem. Li Sheng thought for a while and said, "Then don't raise too much." If it's really hard to deal with, just raise some for the ranch to eat. ”
Zhang Feng groaned for a while and whispered: "Boss, in fact, we can breed a special pig." ”
"Special pigs, what kind of special law?"
Zhang Feng hesitated for a moment and said, "I know someone." He got some fragrant pig [essence] from China and brought it over. A very long and good edible mini pig is bred from Brazilian mini pigs. The meat of the pig has a natural aroma and is very good. However, because he was secretly cultivated, he never obtained the right to slaughter and sell. Now he has 10,000 or 20,000 piglets on hand, but he can't sell them. If the boss can take care of the licensing issues, he can breed these pigs. ”
"Oh?" Li Sheng was not very interested in such a thing. This can be regarded as theft of state property rights and an act of betrayal of the country. But fortunately, it didn't cause much harm. "Does he have a patent?"
"I heard that he applied for it, but it was because he was not allowed to do private research. So it didn't get passed. Zhang Feng sighed. "If he could get a patent, maybe he would be a big boss now. ”
Li Sheng was very interested in the fragrant pig: "Can you contact him now? If he wants to sell the piglets, I can buy all the pigs in his hands." However, he didn't have much sympathy for that man,
Zhang Feng originally wanted to attract Li Sheng's attention and recruit his friends to the ranch. Now, although it is not successful, his friend can sell the pigs, at least not without losing all his money: "Yes." I don't know what price the boss plans to buy it for. I'll talk to him too. ”
Li Sheng originally wanted to lower the price, but after thinking about it, he finally said: "You said that he has one or two thousand piglets, and I think there are probably one or two thousand pairs of breeding pigs." I could buy it all for 10 million reais, but he had to call out all the experimental data. And to sign a contract, this kind of fragrant pig must not be made in Brazil. ”
Zhang Feng opened his mouth.
Li Sheng smiled and said, "Do you think I'm too domineering?" and no matter how the other party answered, he continued. "He brought out animal products that were not allowed to be exported in China, and it may also be a source of famous and high-quality animals in China, and this alone can be called a traitor. I gave him 10 million, or for everyone's sake. Otherwise, you can wait for him to go to him when he is about to go bankrupt. ”
Zhang Feng opened his mouth, but finally sighed and said, "Okay." I'll try to convince him. "Actually, 10 million reais, after paying taxes, his friends are not a loss.
Li Sheng thought for a while and said, "You can do this matter as soon as possible." It's okay to put down the ranch first. Give me a call if your friend is willing. ”
Zhang Feng nodded, stood up and planned to leave. Li Sheng stopped him and said, "Don't be busy yet." Do you think we have anything else to raise?"
"Those small lakes can actually be used for fish. Zhang Feng sat down again and said. "But we don't have anyone here who knows how to raise fish. There is also a water surface where ducks and geese can also be raised. If you have a lot of pasture, you can also raise chickens. "It's a bit of a Chinese small-scale farmer mentality.
Li Sheng thought for a moment and said, "You don't need to raise too many chickens, just raise some enough for pasture to eat by yourself." "If you want to raise chickens, you need to build a special breeding house, otherwise large-scale breeding will also cause great damage to the pasture. "I dedicate two small lakes to raise ducks and geese. It's the two that are close to here. You look at how much you can raise. "The main purpose of these two small lakes is to irrigate the growing areas, so the more fertile the water, the better. Other small lakes need to be drunk by the herd, and it is not good to pollute them.
"The two lakes should have tens of thousands of acres, and it should be no problem to raise one million ducks and five hundred thousand geese, and there is no need to buy special feed, just pasture. These grasses are rich in fat and sugary, and together with the small fish and shrimp in the water, they are enough to meet their nutritional needs. Zhang Feng thought about it and said. "If the water is not very deep, you can also plant lotus roots in it. ”
"Then how many people do you think the ranch is missing?"
"In this area of grazing, I heard that the ranch will raise 3560,000 head of cattle, and I think there are at least 30 more people. I think the area that is cultivated will cost about forty people if it is a combined machine. As for raising ducks and geese, I think fifteen or sixteen people are about the same. Zhang Feng said, paused and said. "Boss, if you want to raise ducks, geese and pigs, I think it's okay to hire female workers. Many of our workers are married, so we can have their wives come with us. That way they can work with peace of mind. ”
Li Sheng agrees. Life here is very closed. If you want to leave, you have to fly, and if your family members work with you, it will be a little more stable. However, it is also likely that some other problems will arise: "There is no problem with this. As long as they are diligent enough. However, in terms of management, you should also be careful not to have any contradictions. ”
"I'll pay attention to this. Zhang Feng said with a smile. In fact, at his age, he also belongs to the range of the kind of person he just mentioned. Now his children are still in college in China, but his wife has come over, and although she is not an immigrant, she has also obtained a work visa. If two husbands and wives are separated, it is difficult to take care of them.
"Then you go get busy!"
