Volume 3 Chapter 158 'Goodness' Has Good Retribution (Bao 2)
Since the second day of the Lunar New Year, the farm has returned to normal work. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Li Sheng didn't really celebrate the New Year, the farm began to work, and he also began to get busy. The planning team in the town of Sipalu did not return to China, but remained on the farm, and they also resumed their work on the second day of the Lunar New Year.
Perhaps it was the new year's new weather, Li Sheng finally collected a relatively complete life history data of the insect-based parent moth of Cordyceps sinensis from the space.
This means that Silent Farm is trying to artificially breed Cordyceps.
The technician who Chen Bo asked him to help him find to raise insects was also attracted by the treatment of the Silent Farm, and would come to work on the farm after the Lantern Festival.
Although the work after the year was a little hectic, everything seemed to be going well.
Engineering activities in Babur and Almerin to build new marinas for Silent Farms. Because of the need to dig a new river channel, in order to avoid trouble, Li Sheng decided to complete all the formalities before starting construction.
Because Babur was out, his work had to be handed over to Thomas. Thomas suddenly had to temporarily take charge of the entire farm except for security, and he couldn't get busy all of a sudden, so he came to Li Sheng to complain: "Li, there is a lot of business on the farm now, and I think the division of labor needs to be more detailed. ”
Li Sheng also knows that the current Silent Farm is no different from a large company. And there are very few people in charge of the business, and there are no deputies, and if the person in charge has something to do, the work of the farm can fall into chaos. And the division of labor between the people in charge is indeed still relatively general. Even if you let them take care of it, you need to equip them with some assistants.
He nodded and said, "I know." You hold on for a few more days, and when Zhang Feng and Babur come back, you start training some middle managers. Then you won't have to work so hard. ”
Thomas will also know that Li Sheng is not going to look for someone from the outside. Although he didn't agree very much, he understood Li Sheng's thoughts very well. He nodded and said, "In addition, the farm needs a full-time accountant. You know, there are too many accounts right now. And there will definitely be more in the future. ”
The farm has not hired a professional accountant, and the accounts are all done by Thomas, and then sent to a professional accounting firm to be redone, and then to file taxes.
It can be said that the farm does not have the ability to make false accounts, and some are just that Li Sheng has increased the cost of some things. But it can't go on like that in the future. Li Sheng plans to build an industrial zone, so he needs an accountant who is familiar with tax law. But he didn't want outsiders to interfere with the internal accounts of the farm
"You're still in charge of the accounting for farm sales," he said. If you can't get busy, you can find an assistant to help you with this job. As for the rest of the accounts, I'll find someone else to do it. ”
Thomas nodded and said, "Okay." ”
Li Sheng thought of one thing: "In a few days, there will be twenty-three students from the football school and some teachers coming to the farm. At that time, Zhang didn't know if he could rush back. You and the soccer school side get ready. ”
"I made a note of it. ”
He paused and said: "Today I received a call from the ambassador of Brazil asking about the possibility of buying beef from the farm. ”
Li Sheng was stunned, Baguo had not appeared in his mind for a long time. He asked, "How did you reply?"
"I replied that I would like to ask your opinion first. However, he said he did not want to buy cattle raised on the farm because the price was too expensive. They want to buy beef that is fattened using the grass from our farm. They also said that their domestic importers were going to visit the farms. Ask when you have time. ”
Li Sheng thought for a moment, smiled and said, "Interesting! You call this ambassador back and say that I have time within a week." ”
Thomas smiled and nodded, "Okay." I think he was reciprocating the kindness of our food donation. ”
Li Sheng nodded and did not speak. Thomas finished speaking and left.
Li Sheng also thinks like Thomas, and feels that Pakistan is repaying the favor. More than two years ago, he donated more than 200,000 tons of grain to Pakistan. This should be regarded as a send-off.
Pakistan now intends to import beef from the Amazon Livestock Company, and it stands to reason that there is no need to greet him. But their ambassador called specifically to ask for his opinion. This is to do a good deed and leave a name, and I want him to know that this is a return of favors.
Li Sheng has always welcomed goodwill. Li Sheng has always liked people who know how to repay their kindness. Although he never thought that he would get anything from Pakistan, the other party showed in this way that they had never forgotten his kindness. This made him quite appreciative. He had to say something in his heart, it really deserved to be Pakistan Tie!
In other words, there are indeed no eternal friends between countries, only eternal interests. However, Pakistan has been able to maintain a friendship with China for half a century, and it can even be said to be an alliance. This is definitely rare in modern times. Maybe the two countries have had differences over certain things, but the relationship is generally good. At least Pakistan is not the country that has benefited the most from China, but it is far more friendly to China than those white-eyed wolf countries. In his eyes, Pakistan is China's best neighbor and friend.
Of course, he does not intend to get involved in the politics of the two countries. He just wanted to do business. Hopefully, Pakistan just wants to do business with him.
Half an hour after Thomas' departure, he called Li Sheng and said, "The beef importer from Pakistan plans to visit you at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning." ”
Li Sheng didn't even think about it: "You will reply to him, I welcome their arrival." ”
The next morning, a business plane flew over Silent Farm and landed at the airport. Li Sheng walked up briskly to greet the guests who got off the plane. The person who came was a beef buyer from Pakistan. After mutual introductions, Li Sheng learned that they were from three major agricultural foreign trade companies in Pakistan.
Li Sheng expressed his welcome, and finally said apologetically when leading them to the car: "Our farm has not purchased a special welcome car, please don't be surprised." ”
This time, he drove to pick up the guests. At this time, he also felt that he should have a few better cars on the farm. When the town is built, there may be more visitors to the farm. You can't always use a pickup truck to receive guests.
Representatives of Pakistan did not arrive to be dissatisfied. Maybe there is a grievance, but it is not big enough to be expressed.
Li Sheng took the guests to the office and welcomed them again.
Although representatives of three companies came from Pakistan this time, it seems that Neil, the commercial representative of the state-owned agricultural foreign trade company, is the main one.
After a period of politeness, Neil offered to buy beef: "Mr. Lee, the people of our country remember the selfless help that Silent Farm gave us two years ago. Think of Silent Farm as a respectable friend. We all want to work with friends. ”
Li Sheng smiled and nodded, "Although I am now a Brazilian citizen, I was a Chinese citizen more than three years ago. I have a deep understanding of the friendship between China and Pakistan. Your country has selflessly helped the Chinese people when they were in trouble at home. Therefore, when I learned that your country was in trouble for a while, I should do what I could for your country. I think that's what I should do under a great friendship. ”
"Haha, Mr. Li is right. We have a great friendship between us. Neil was very satisfied with Li Sheng's statement. In Li Sheng's words, China and Pakistan are equal countries. It is not that many young people in China think that Huaxia is the boss in it.
He paused for a moment and said: "Mr. Li, in the past two years, China has made relatively great achievements in economic development, and the people's living standards have been greatly improved. There is an increasing demand for meat such as beef. So we'd like to import some of the beef from you. ”
Li Sheng blinked and said with a smile: "I am very honored to be able to cooperate with your company. It's just that the beef produced by Silent Farm has signed a contract with the supplier, and if you want to buy Silent Beef when you return to China, I'm afraid you need to negotiate with the supplier. Of course, I can be in the middle of the pitch. The domestic agent in Huaxia is my friend. He also had a very good impression of Pakistan. I think he'll be willing to give up some of his quota. ”
Neil said with a smile: "Silent Beef is a well-known beef brand in the world, and of course we want to import it. However, the price of beef at Silent Farm is still relatively high for the consumption level of our people. So we will only import a small amount for the high-end market. We have already consulted with Mr. Chen on the Huaxia side. We came this time to import beef from the Amazon Livestock Company. We know that you are the largest shareholder of the company and the only supplier of fattening feed for the company's beef. We hope that Mr. Li will be able to export some beef to us at a more favorable price due to our friendship. ”
Li Sheng thought about it and didn't agree immediately, but asked, "I don't know how much beef your country plans to import?"
Neil said with a smile: "Our three companies have a total of 650,000 tons of beef imports this year. In the next five years, it is expected that there will be no less than that. ”
650,000 tons is a lot. On average, each Pakistani can weigh more than three kilograms.
Li Sheng asked again: "Then do you want to import Dong cattle or beef?"
"Half boneless beef, half bone-in beef. ”
Li Sheng's spirit was shocked, which was at least equivalent to more than two million cows. That's one-tenth of Amazon's optimistic estimates.
He smiled and said, "I will communicate with other shareholders and try to give you preferential prices." ”
"Thank you very much. Neil also laughed. He knew that although Li Sheng only accounted for more than a quarter of the shares of Amazon Animal Husbandry, Li Sheng was definitely the leader of the company. As long as he speaks, other shareholders should not reject the preferential proposal.
In particular, he knew that Amazon's main profit did not come from the sale of beef, but from pasture. Brazilian beef is not very competitive internationally and the price is relatively low. But they want to import beef from Amazon Livestock Company, which has a similar price as the international average, because the quality of this beef is better and more cost-effective than that of other countries.
Li Sheng also thinks that if this business can be done, in terms of beef, Amazon Animal Husbandry Company will be profitable even if it is more preferential. The price of live cattle in Brazil is already relatively low, but the export price of beef from livestock companies is similar to that of major beef exporters such as the United States. Of course, beef at Silent Farm is more expensive.
The beef deal is only here for the time being, and Li Sheng thought that they were done. Unexpectedly, Mr. Neil, they gave him another surprise.
Friends from Pakistan also offered to import some edible oil and some mushrooms. These things are not included in the main agency scope of Fernando and Chen Bo. These Li Sheng can directly promise them.
Li Sheng also thought that perhaps there would be greater prospects for future trade between Silent Farm and Pakistan. (To be continued.) )
