When they had already seen several wind turbines in the middle of the plains, which were not very powerful. Li Sheng did not continue to drive south. Instead, turn around and return.
The farm's electricity is all provided by the three generator sets. Of course, the farm also has several emergency diesel generator sets. The decision to buy back those wind turbines from Huaxia still makes him feel proud. In this remote place, it is not easy to have enough and stable electricity. And Silent Farm doesn't have to worry about electricity at all.
Taking Chahi and Tia back to the wooden house, Li Sheng didn't plan to go back to the hilly area to escape the heat, so he made dinner early, and then sent Tia and Tia to Anthony to study. That night, he simply spent the night in the wooden villa. Because tomorrow Anthony told him that he would have to come tomorrow morning.
The next morning, the interviewer from the global channel came. The farm sent planes to pick them up.
And Li Sheng took Thomas and Anthony to the airport to greet them.
While waiting, Li Sheng asked Thomas and Anthony to add some beekeeping and other insect breeding buildings to the farm construction plan in the near future. However, he did not elaborate on the purpose of these buildings, only that he planned to breed some bees.
It was only then that Anthony thought that the pasture flowers could be utilized.
In fact, this is also because the people on the farm have little experience with these things. In this rainforest, many farms have cleared the forest to either grow food or graze. Many of those farms and pastures have little pasture, not to mention carpets like Silent Farm, which are almost entirely full of flowers. It is impossible for anyone to think of such a business as beekeeping.
Thomas agrees with Li Sheng's idea: "So far, it seems that the pasture has a long flowering period, which is indeed very suitable for bee breeding. And the forest is also a good source of honey. β
But Anthony has a question: "How big are you going to farm? If it's too big, there's not much wood left in the shade." If it is a building, the construction period needs to be considered more. β
Before Li Sheng bought the farm, a lot of wood with relatively low value was left behind, because a lot of it had been dried over a long period of time.
Li Sheng had already used a lot of timber for the construction of the farm. And those that have just been cut down have not yet dried up, and cannot be used immediately for construction, otherwise they will be twisted and cracked. He also knew that there might not be enough wood left.
He had no choice but to say, "Then build a three-story frame building." "Actually, if it's just beekeeping, you just need to build a shed. But he's also thinking about breeding other insects.
Soon the farm's propeller plane appeared in the sky.
The sea of flowers at Silent Farm surprised the visiting staff of the Global Channel. When they looked down on this place from the plane, they almost thought that this was not Brazil, but the Netherlands of Europe.
Perhaps the Netherlands is the only country in the world with such a large continuous area of flowers. But the surrounding rainforest reminds them that this is indeed Brazil.
When the plane stopped taxiing on the runway, the passengers got off the plane and saw the same sea of flowers around the runway, which made them still dream.
And they saw that Li Sheng was very face-saving and went to the airport to greet him in person. It makes them feel valued.
There are only three staff members in this group of bad tables, a sound recorder, a photographer, and a host.
There are usually only two ways for foreign TV shows to succeed quickly, celebrities or beauties.
And this program, which is like an interview with Li Sheng, is just a new program. The person in charge of the show may have some fame, but this famous, beautiful and sexy host is an important factor.
The host of this time is also the leader of the interview team of this global channel, which is a typical Brazilian beauty. Mixed-race and sexy, but it's not Li Sheng's dish, because the other party looks almost thirty. Maybe you're older.
Although he is older, the beauty is always pleasing to the eye, which makes Li Sheng feel that he can be a little more patient with this interview.
The interview actually began after the TV station staff got off the plane.
"Hello Lee. I'm Blanca Jo Masato," the hostess introduced herself and introduced another colleague. "It's a pleasure for you to be interviewed with us. β
The two used a handshake salute, Li Sheng said a word of welcome, and invited them to take a ride to the villa in the plain area.
In the past, when he was in the car, Blanca had already started to get into the interview mode: "Lee, we saw that your ranch was very rich in grass and full of beautiful wildflowers. This is probably unique in the world. What's the secret to that?"
Li Sheng slowed down and replied, "The land here is very fertile. The only secret to such good pasture is to find good grass that is suitable for the climate. β
"It is said that your farm has bought a total of 360,000 head of cattle. At this rate, many people claim that it is impossible to support so many cattle in the pastures here, and that raising so many cattle in such an area would be devastating to the environment. What are your thoughts on this?"
Li Sheng shrugged with a smile and said, "Facts speak louder than words. I did buy that many cattle. But after a year of farming, the pasture of the pasture grows better and better. According to our estimates, this pasture can support at least 1.8 million cattle. And that's what we're aiming for. β
"God, 1.8 million head of cows, that's a huge amount!" Blanca didn't expect Li Sheng to break the news so quickly. "But it's not just enough forage for cattle to have enough forage, there are many things that can affect the development of the pasture, such as cow manure that covers the grass and causes the grass to die, as happened in Australia. What do you think about that?"
Li Sheng smiled a little proudly and said: "There is a super decomposing bacteria in our pasture, and their ability to decompose cow dung is more powerful than any kind of bacteria. After a pile of cow dung hits the ground, it may not take a day for it to disappear. This is one of the reasons why these grasses grow so well, the cattle are grazing, and at the same time, they are providing fertilizer for the grass in time. β
"It's incredible. Before getting into the car, Blanca looked surprised.
In fact, she didn't expect Li Sheng to be so cooperative, asking and answering. Li Sheng looked to be in his early twentiesβin the eyes of Westerners, he looked younger than he actually wasβbut she knew that this young man was already twenty-five years old. At that age, as a businessman, the mind should not be so simple.
But it's a good thing for her, maybe the interview can go well.
She and Li Sheng sat in the back seat, while the photographer sat in front of them, turned around and continued recording.
The car started moving, and Blanca didn't stop visiting: "Lee, can you introduce some of your farm to the national audience?"
"Of course. Li Sheng nodded and said. "Silent Farm was a tree farm before. When I bought it from its previous owner, the trees on this plain had been cut down. The 10,000-square-kilometre plain has been largely converted into pasture, and even the grass that was just captured by the camera has been converted. There are also 80,000 acres of paddy fields. Of course, there are also some lakes. β
He paused, thinking that he could throw something out of his own accord: "In the last dry season, we used the power granted by law to redevelop 3,000 square kilometers of forest area in the northern jungle. β
"Three thousand square kilometers? a huge forest. Blanca interjected. She knew that when Silent Farm cut down that forest, it caused a lot of controversy, so it was a topic that she wouldn't miss in this interview. She hopes that Li Sheng will say more in this regard.
"It's really big. That's at least six thousand Vaticans. Li Sheng said with a smile. "So there was a group of idle people who came to protest against our development plans. β
Blanca couldn't help but smile when he heard him say this. 'Idle people', no one has ever described green and organized as such. Maybe after this evaluation report goes out, I will let the people from the Green and the organization come out and talk about it. That helped her show a lot. What the media fears most is that no one pays attention to their reports. Someone comes out and makes a mouth shot, and that's certainly the best way to get attention.
Otherwise, the trolls would not exist.
So she pointed in the direction she wanted: "Are you talking about green and organization?"
"So you know they're idle. Li Sheng said with a laugh.
Blanca just wants the show to be controversial, not to cause controversy himself. She didn't want to cause trouble, so she quickly defended: "I mean, many people know about their original protest actions. β
Li Sheng is not a fool, of course he understands that the other party is avoiding suspicion. But he didn't care, just smiled and continued: "Yes, thanks to them, many people think that we have made a very bad start, and we are wantonly destroying the forest. Of course, they also inadvertently did the right thing, which was to let more people know about Silent Farm. We cannot but thank them for that. That's true. β
"Haha, maybe they've received your thanks through our show. However, now that the whole world is concerned about environmental issues, Silent Farm has cut down so many forests at once in a short period of time, and many people agree with the Green Harmony organization. Do you have any disagreement on this?"
Li Shenghao didn't mind being in front of the camera, he pouted disdainfully and said, "First of all, our development is allowed by law. So illegal logging that has been around for hundreds of years has nothing to do with us. Whether we cut down forests legally or not, that kind of activity will not stop. β
"But you can't deny that your development has cut down countless trees. Don't you think that's really damaging the environment?"
Li Sheng glanced at her: "Blanca, this problem is not in the plan. β
"Yes, but I think the audience will be very interested in what you think about environmental protection," Blanca laughs. Of course, if you feel offended, we can skip this topic. When she said this, she was also correcting her opinion of Li Sheng. Maybe this person is quite cooperative, but not a person without a bottom line.
Li Sheng smiled and didn't really skip the question. He just warned the other party a little and asked the other party not to ask questions too out of line.
He smiled and said, "In that case, then I'll give you my opinion." Human beings have been destroying nature. Nowhere is the deforestation more serious than in the United States. In just over 100 years, they have cut down two-thirds of the country's forests. If it weren't for the environmental considerations of their country, they might have cut down the last tree in their country. And as far as I know, the founders of the Green Harmony organization are Americans. β
"You're right. β
"That's right. According to what we Chinese people say, only the state officials are allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps. Of course, they will tell you that that is history and not the present. That's right, that's history. They have made their fortune on history and have completed the accumulation of all the destructive acts in their mouths. In order for them to enjoy the results, they did not allow us to use our own resources. Moreover, isn't the 3,000 square kilometers of forest at Silent Farm a thing of the past? Why are they still holding on to it? After all, there are only two sets of standards. β
