The next day, the weather was fine. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Li Sheng walked to the farm office after breakfast, and he had informed all the managers last night that there was a meeting today.

Everyone was punctual, even Chahi sat at the door on time to play alone.

Li Sheng expressed his thoughts, and finally said: "What I can't decide now is how much area of hills is suitable for us to develop?"

"I think it's very necessary to build roads. Even if there are no plans to develop the hilly area, we should build some hardened roads. Anthony said first. "Silent Farm is so big that if it's in the U.S. or Australia, you don't need to build roads on such a large piece of land. But this is the Amazon, which has a rainy season that lasts for half a year every year. Driving trucks in such an environment during the rainy season is too damaging to the ground. ”

Today's Silent Farm is different from before, and large vehicles driving on the grass can cause a lot of damage to the grass. Especially this is a pasture.

Zhang Feng also said: "I have the same opinion as Anthony. But I think we need to build some warehouses more. We have a large area of farmland. Unless the grain can be sold immediately after the harvest, storage is a big problem. ”

Li Sheng really didn't think about this question when he said it. If he hadn't reminded him, he would have really been caught blind by then.

But time is also very tight right now. It's the rainy season. And before the end of the rainy season, the farm's arable land is definitely going to be harvested. And this time is not suitable for architecture at all.

Anthony also frowned and said, "Zhang's concern is very reasonable. Also, I think we should find customers for our grain as soon as possible. ”

Li Sheng remembered the suggestions of both of them, and these two things were indeed to be done as soon as possible.

However, he also expressed concern: "It's not easy to build warehouses just in the rainy season." ”

"It is possible to formwork the building. Anthony thought for a moment and said. "The construction period will be shortened a lot. Don't worry about the quality either. ”

Li Sheng nodded and said, "Then you and Lao Zhang calculate how much warehousing you need." ”

"No problem. "Okay. Anthony and Zhang Feng nodded in response.

"I think the dock will also be expanded. "Babur this is a suggestion. "The productivity of the farm is very high, and the external transportation must be guaranteed. And our products can only be sent out by water. Now our dock is too small, and the loading and unloading capacity is too small. He paused, then added. "Of course, the work on the pier can only be carried out during the dry season. But maybe it's time to think about it. ”

This is indeed a big problem as well. The Silent Farm is surrounded by water on three sides, and on the other side is the jungle, and the only external traffic is by boat, except for airplanes. The amount of airplanes transported is too small, and it is completely unreliable to transport food, so the only thing that can be relied on is the waterway.

The grain produced by the farm now seems to be absolutely a lot, and if the throughput of the only port is insufficient, it will definitely have a big impact on the operation of the farm.

Of course, this pier doesn't need to be too big. It would be good if it could meet the needs of two or three thousand tons of ships to berth.

Since this question was raised by Babur, Li Sheng handed over the matter to him: "Then I will leave this matter to you." You can start by finding a specialized exploration team and design company to design a new wharf first. ”

“ok。 Leave it to me. "It's a big project and Babur is happy to be in charge of it.

Thomas was indeed thinking about Li Sheng's development of the hilly area.

He didn't expect Li Sheng to say so much in the jungle, and now he actually made up his mind. If the area of the development is not very large, he agrees.

In fact, what scientists and experts say about how important the Amazon forest is to the planet and how grim it is. But in practice, no one can say.

In many countries around the world, less than 30 per cent of the country is covered by forests, while Brazil now has more than 60 per cent. The scientists are demanding that Brazil stop deforestation. That's just nothing to do.

And the scientists who make those voices are all from developed countries in Europe and the United States. Their own country has been developed to the fullest, but it requires a developing country to live in poverty, just sitting and talking without backache.

As long as it is not destructive, Brazil will be doing its duty to the world as long as it leaves 40% of its forest cover. Brazil does not require private land to be deforested. From this point it can be seen that Brazil does not fully agree with the arguments of those Western countries.

But he doesn't want to post too much. Not only to protect the environment, but more importantly, if the area is too large, the authorities may come to the door to find trouble.

"Lee, if you want to develop a hilly area, you need to be cautious in your plans. At least the area should not be too large. Otherwise, the EPA will make a bird out of silent agricultural products. In addition, in the development area, we also have to consider the indigenous tribes in the jungle. ”

Li Sheng groaned. After a long time he said, "You're right. The range of those indigenous peoples is not small, and the radius may be fifty kilometers. ”

He wasn't afraid of the natives. Instead, he felt that they were the original owners of the land, and he needed to make money, but the other party also needed to survive. And now the interests of the two sides are not completely irreconcilable.

He took out his map, clicked on the northwest of the wooded area that belonged to him, and said, "Their tribe is probably in this location." "The area he points to is close to the Nyamonda River.

He drew an irregular circle in the northeastern region closer to him: "I'm going to develop it here. It covers an area of 3,000 square kilometers. ”

"Three thousand square kilometers?" Thomas was startled. The others were also stunned. This area is not too big.

Li Sheng nodded and said, "I don't think it's big." I plan to grow coffee, fruit, and tea trees on some of the gentler slopes. Soybeans are grown in relatively flat areas. In areas that are not suitable for cultivated land, Brazilian chestnuts are cultivated. I think that at most one-third of the arable land can be cultivated, and the other two-thirds should be mainly used for fruit trees. ”

Thomas listened to his plan, nodded and said, "If that's the case, I think there should be no problem." But to develop it, we had to go back to the old business, and we needed to hire a lot of lumberjacks. ”

Li Sheng smiled and said, "I'll leave this matter to you." However, I would like to see more workers who are not hostile to the indigenous people. ”

Thomas smiled and nodded, "I will mainly hire local workers with Indian ancestry." But our development is likely to attract the EPA's attention. ”

"I'll take care of that. And we don't break any laws either. ”

Li Sheng thought for a while, and then said: "There are still market problems, I will also solve them." So the farm will be handed over to you for the next period of time. ”

"You're leaving?" Anthony paused. "Actually, you just need to call those grain companies and ask them to negotiate. ”

Li Sheng shook his head with a smile and said, "The first batch of grain produced is rice. The main consumer markets for rice are in East and South Asia. ”

"You're going to Asia?"

Li Sheng nodded. To be exact, he was planning to go to China: "I found a travel agency to apply for a tourist visa to China. The visa has been completed, and I will pick it up tomorrow. After getting it, it won't come, and it will go directly to Huaxia in Brasilia. ”

"How long are you going?"

The tourist visa for foreigners in Huaxia is usually one month. But Li Sheng couldn't stay that long: "Within ten days." ”

Huaxia is the country with the highest rice production in the world, but its large population has made the country a pure importer of rice. The country's annual cereal trade deficit amounts to more than two million tons. Of course, a large part of this is wheat, corn - soybeans are not among them. At least 50 million tonnes of soybeans are imported, mainly as feed ingredients.

Li Sheng's goal is the rice market in China. Rice is the staple food in the eastern part of China, and even more so in the south. Huaxia is the world's largest consumer of rice. The most important thing is that the current Chinese people are not tired of eating, and as long as they have enough spending power, they are willing to consume better rice.

He is confident that the rice in Silent Farm is excellent. He eats the rice produced in the space himself, and both the taste and the aroma are better than the rice he has eaten before. However, the planting area of Silent Farm is too large, and it may not be feasible to take the high-end route. And his production costs are not high, as long as he can sell ordinary rice, he can make a lot of money. More importantly, if the market here can be opened, the wheat and beef grown in the future may also open up the market of the motherland.

He believes that the produce produced by Silent Farm is definitely of high quality, and of course good things cannot be outflowed. If you really want to go out, it will be after satisfying the Huaxia market first.

When he landed on an international flight at Lingang International Airport.

After becoming a foreigner, he returned to his home country after a few months, and he felt as if he had just left yesterday.
