In fact, Li Sheng knows it without asking. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info and Anthony replied exactly what he expected.

"It's still the TV network, and their previous coverage of the farm is the same attitude as before, and although the accident of Jahit Toldo has made them anxious, they have not changed their words. They went on to invite a large number of academics and social activists to comment on the farm. However, because of the previous impact, the ratings of the current program have dropped a lot. ”

Jahit Toldo is an important special critic for the television network, and he is known for his poisonous tongue. I have offended many people on TV. Now that he has an accident, of course, some people have fallen into the well. It's not that the TV network hasn't tried to help them, but in the face of conclusive evidence, they may be able to say that the white is black, but they can't say that the black is white.

And that incident, even the TV network also suffered from the pond fish. After all, most of what Jahit Toldo says is on the TV network. Of course, his accident had a great impact on the television network.

Maybe this is also the reason why the other party is jealous of Silent Farm, and he is still blackening Silent Farm.

"There's another voice focused on the issue of your nationality. Say you're using Brazilian nationality to do things in China. Say that because Brazil is an ally of China, you use Brazil's resources to curry favor with Brazil. Both of these voices are blindly followed by many people. Anthony continued.

Li Sheng frowned, nodded and said, "I know about this matter." ”

"But we're also explaining why we're donating food to those countries," Anthony added. It's just that the effect is not very ideal. ”

Li Sheng thought for a while and said, "Then let them go." If we do donate to Brazil now, maybe some people will say that we are thieves. ”

"Thomas and I will keep an eye on that and we will try to protect the reputation of the farm. Anthony also knows that public opinion has a very big impact on a company. However, at present, Silent Farm's products are basically not sold in Brazil, and this impact will not be very large.

"Have you been in contact with the global channel? They don't have any idea of falling into trouble with the competitor of the TV network?" Li Sheng thought of a question.

They issued a statement on their official website saying that Blanca's program was a separate program from production and broadcasting. Therefore, the views of the guests and the program do not represent the views of the TV station. "Anthony doesn't look good on his face either. This statement has not been taken down. And Blanca's show is still off the air. ”

Li Shengjiao said: "They were originally the tongue of a military dictator, but when they saw that the people [lords] were unstoppable, they turned their guns and attacked the dictatorship. It's normal for such wall grass to behave like this. Until public opinion is completely reversed, they may not speak out. ”

Anthony groaned for a moment and said, "By the way, there's one more thing. The owner of Salares Farm to the east made a special trip to the farm. He seems to have taken a fancy to the pasture on the farm. ”

"They also raise cattle?"

"I heard that it mainly grows soybeans, but there are also cattle, but the number is not large, less than 8,000 heads. ”

Li Sheng asked again: "Then you knew him before?"

"Recognize. We weren't that far apart, and Fred was a nice old man who had helped us before. But that's before you buy the farm. ”

Li Sheng felt that this matter was not a big deal, so he said, "Then you let him come." ”

He was about to leave, and Chahi, who was playing on the side, saw that he was leaving, and ran after him: "Lee, Lee." Where you're going, I'm going too!"

Li Sheng glanced at Anthony, smiled and said, "Anthony, then I'll take Chahi to play." In the evening, after dinner, I sent her home. ”

Anthony watched his daughter pull Li Sheng's pants and didn't let go, what else could he say. He smiled and nodded, "I'm bothering you again." ”

"Chahi won't be in trouble!" Chahi looked at Anthony angrily. "Chahi is the best boy in the world!"

Li Sheng pinched her fleshy little face and said, "Yes, Chahi is the most well-behaved child." He said to Anthony again. "Then we're leaving. ”

Then he took Chahi around to see what was going on in the various production departments.

It was as if he had learned about his belongings for the first time. It's a bit fresh.

However, after "inspecting" the farm, he felt that the next thing to do was to do beekeeping and paclitaxel well. And it just so happens that it is not the busy time for farming, and the workers happen to have a lot of free time, and when the farming is busy, they may have to wait for a long time.

The next day, Li Sheng drove to the plain area early in the morning. Today he made an appointment with a "client"

He found Anthony about half-past eight.

Anthony said. "Lee, Fred's plane will arrive around 8:50 a.m. ”

Li Sheng asked in a low voice, "Does he have any other identity?" Anthony reminded him repeatedly, and he was also a little curious.

Anthony shook his head with a smile and said, "I remind you, mainly because I'm worried that you've forgotten about it." "Li Sheng has not been qualitative in the past few days, and he is always running around. He was worried that Li Sheng wouldn't know where to run for a while.

Li Sheng smiled and said, "I came so early today thinking that Mr. Salares was coming. ”

More than twenty minutes later, a small plane landed at the airport, Li Sheng and Anthony, and a little heel Chahi had already visited the airport with guests.

Fred Salares, a large farmer with 230,000 acres of farm - of course, his farm is negligible compared to Silent Farm.

Fred was nearly sixty years old, but this time he was flying his own plane. After he jumped off the plane, he was like Li Sheng stretching out his hand: "Li, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

"Welcome to the Silent Farm, Mr. Salares. In Brazil, names are usually called, but Li Sheng has not completely abandoned the use of Westerners.

Fred actually emigrated from other countries, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with the title. He smiled and said, "It's not the first time I've come to Silent Farm, it's just a pity that I didn't see you last time." ”

Li Sheng smiled and said, "There happened to be something wrong some time ago, so the people on the farm couldn't contact me." ”

"I think I understand. "The Silent Farm had become the center of public opinion in Brazil a few days ago, and in Fred's opinion, perhaps the Oriental man was now troubled.

Li Sheng smiled and said, "Anthony, I don't think I need to introduce you. ”

"Yes, we've known each other for four years. Anthony smiled and held out his hand. "It's a pleasure to see you again, Fred. ”

"I'm happy too. By the way, and the lovely Chahi. ”

After greetings, Li Sheng invited Fred to the wooden house.

Anthony said, "Fred, I'm in trouble." I won't be with you. "He's going to oversee the school.

Li Sheng drove back to the wooden house, invited Fred to sit down, made two cups of coffee, and squeezed another cup of juice for Chahi. Sitting across from Fred, he said earnestly, "Fred, I heard Anthony say that you are interested in the pastures of Silent Farm?"

Fred put down his coffee cup, nodded and said, "Yes." To be honest, I once had a large ranch in Australia, and I have visited farms in the United States and other countries, but the grass at Silent Farm is the best I have ever seen. Tender and juicy, the sugar content is quite high. I feel like it can work with any herbivore. And I've found that the cattle on Silent Farm are free-range and grow faster than the cattle on other farms. Although the Salares Ranch grows a lot of soybeans, grazing is still the main business. So I want to talk to you. ”

"I wonder what you want to talk about?"

Fred didn't directly say what he wanted, but smiled and began to introduce himself and Salares Farm: "Lee, as a farmer, I think you know very well the importance of pasture to a pasture*** In fact, before 1998, I still owned a ranch with an area of 1.5 million acres in the Australian outback, of course, that is completely compared to Silent Farm, both in terms of area and conditions. ”

One and a half million acres, or about 6,000 square kilometers of land, is indeed incomparable to Silent Farm. The climate of the Australian outback, drought alone restricts the development of farms.

Fred continued: "Although the farm is very large, due to the climate and Australian policies, the land can only be cultivated for less than 6,000 acres of arable land, and no more than 10,000 cattle can be raised. In fact, even at this scale, the farm is difficult to sustain. One is due to a lack of water, and the other is a lack of high-quality pasture. ”

"At that time, there was a continuous drought in the Australian outback, and my farm had to scale down. Coupled with the Asian economic storm in '97, the market shrunk, and I had to sell the farm. A year later, I came to this watery place and bought what is now Salares Farm. Although the area is much smaller. But I have more land to use. There are also more cattle raised per unit area. ”

Li Sheng nodded and said, "Although the Amazon Plain itself is not fertile, the water source is still sufficient. ”

"Yes, there's plenty of water. Fred said with a smile. "So I opened up 30,000 acres of soybean farming on my farm, and the rest of the land is still used for grazing. But the land here is not suitable for growing pastures. Unless it is the use of chemical fertilizers. However, the price of cattle in Brazil is too competitive in the world, and if a large amount of fertilizer is used, it will not only increase the cost, but also make the meat quality of the herd worse. ”

"So what?"

"So, I'm scaling down my grazing from 30,000 cattle to 8,000 now. Fred spread his hands and said helplessly. "The land here is theoretically very fertile, with a lot of soil coming from the Sahara Desert and millions of years of fallen leaves that can make it suddenly humus-rich. But the climate here allows these things to be consumed very quickly. The soil here is acidic. It's not a good place to grow pasture. Therefore, many pastures do not use corn as cattle feed. In fact, I did the same. Because there is simply not enough pasture in the pasture. ”
