In the past six months, Fernando's visits to Silent Farm have increased significantly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info This day he came again.

As soon as it was dawn, Li Sheng received a call from him saying that he wanted to come to the farm. Li Sheng could only postpone his plan to go to Manaus.

Fernando came from Santarém. He even caught up for breakfast with Li Sheng.

Although Tia was a little disappointed that the plan to go out with Li Sheng was temporarily canceled, she didn't show it either. She was also relatively familiar with Fernando, and after breakfast, she made tea, and then sat beside Li Sheng very well-behaved.

Li Sheng looked at her like a little daughter-in-law, and said to her with a smile: "Fernando and I will go outside for a walk." "It's still early and the temperature is acceptable.

Tia blinked, pursed her lips and nodded. She actually wanted to stay with Li Sheng more, but Li Sheng said so, she could only stay at home.

After Fernando and Li Sheng walked out of the villa, they laughed softly and said, "Li, you broke a little girl's heart. ”

For Tia, an indigenous girl, his senses are quite good. Looks beautiful, and there is no indigenous rusticism, although she is still young, but when she grows up, she is definitely a woman who makes men's hearts move. Moreover, it can be seen that this girl has already put her heart on Li Sheng at a young age.

Li Sheng's actions just now were invisibly refusing the girl to participate in his affairs. How sad must this be for a well-intentioned little girl?

But Li Sheng didn't understand this. He had been in love before, and three times, but all failed. Maybe this can show that he is not emotionally intelligent in terms of feelings.

He glanced at Fernando and said, "You didn't come to me to talk about this!"

The two got into the all-terrain vehicle in the garage outside the villa, and Li Sheng didn't drive too fast, he came out mainly to breathe in the outdoor air. Mornings are a rare good time. Later, the temperature will be too high to be able to be outdoors.

Of course, Fernando didn't come to care about Li Sheng's feelings, and when the all-terrain vehicle drove out of the courtyard of the villa, he said the first purpose of his visit: "Didn't you talk about the sale of wheat on the farm last time? I have already negotiated with the three big grain merchants in Brazil, and they will ask for a total of 420,000 tons of wheat, and about 70,000 tons of rice. ”

"That's good news. Li Sheng said with a smile.

If this is really the case, this amount plus the amount that Chen Bo negotiated in China, the farm's wheat will almost be able to survive last year. Although Fernando gave him some bad impressions, in fact, the sales of Silent Farm's products really can't do without this person!

Fernando also smiled and said: "But the price should not be too high, because this year the virus is raging, and the international wheat price is a little higher." The quality of our wheat is at least good, at R$900 per tonne, but we deliver it. The price of rice is R$2,800 per tonne. We are also required to deliver the goods. ”

The price of rice is so much higher than the price of wheat, mainly because the unit price of rice at Silent Farm is already high, and it is packaged and ready to be sold. And this is still slightly lower than the price of exporting to Dahuaxia. Wheat also needs to be processed into flour and packaged before it can be sold.

And Li Sheng doesn't have much of an opinion on this. Until now, Silent Farm's rice has only been sold to Europe and Asia. If the Brazilian market can be opened, it will be a great thing for the farm's rice sales.

"You've done a great job. The price is perfectly acceptable. Li Sheng was quite satisfied with this. Of course, 10% of these prices belong to their joint trading companies. But that is not unacceptable to Li Sheng. If he is asked to find the market by himself, he may not be able to achieve this effect.

Fernando looked at the farms, which were becoming more and more wild, and said with a smile: "The sales volume of rice is still too high to increase because the price is too high. This time they are willing to buy so much at once because of bundles. You're really not going to bring down the price of rice?"

Silent Farm's annual rice yield is slightly higher than that of wheat. After all, the two grains are grown alternately in the dry and rainy seasons, and the planting area is almost the same, while the unit yield of rice is much higher than that of wheat. In the future, Silent Farm's rice sales are likely to run into problems.

Of course, none of that is something Fernando needs to worry about. His concern is that the more Silent Farm's products are sold, the more money he makes. If he could lower the price a little and sell all the rice from Silent Farm, he would have gained more than if he could only sell a third of the yield at today's prices. Most importantly, capturing the market is the key to maintaining profits.

Li Sheng could not agree with his suggestion.

He shook his head and said, "That can't be." You can also see it from the test report. The quality of Silent Farm's rice is very suitable for human needs, and the protein content is 0.5% higher than that of ordinary rice. Needless to say, the taste is not to mention. If the price is lowered, I would rather not plant. ”

In fact, the quality of those wheats is also very good. Regardless of the country's standards, it is the highest grade of quality. If it weren't for the fact that the production was too large, he wouldn't have sold it at the low price he is now.

The car came to the golf course, and the grass on the golf course has been trimmed and has the appearance of a golf course, but Li Sheng still has not come here to play.

After getting out of the car, the two walked on it while talking about things.

Fernando was a little helpless about Li Sheng's stubbornness, so he had to say: "Well, in fact, the sales of rice in Europe have been growing steadily, and Ali has also gained something." Maybe one day we will be able to sell all our rice. ”

However, he didn't want to dwell on this issue, so he paused and changed the topic: "There is another thing, there are some problems in the sales of truffles in Europe, and the problems will be even greater in the future." ”

"What's going on?"

"Because the truffles we've been exporting to Europe in the last few months have accounted for at least 70% of the truffle market, the distributors there have come together against us. Those months were the production period for black summer truffles, and the quality of that thing was the worst truffle. So the impact on us is not very big. ”

"And now?"

"It's the time to produce white truffles in Italy until December, and they're the best truffles that come naturally. So it has had a big impact on our market. In North America, there will also be a two-month truffle production period. He scoffed. "A lot of gourmets in Europe are now looking for wild truffles. ”

Shopping malls are like battlefields, and competition is always multifaceted and multifaceted. The opponent is still relatively gentle with such means. Li Sheng can't blame anything either. All they can do is find a way to sell more truffles.

And Fernando said: "And then in March, the black truffle will be produced. I think they'll do the same to our truffles. ”

Li Sheng thought for a moment and said, "Don't tell me, you didn't invite a gourmet?"

Fernando laughed and said, "Of course, foodies belong to the world. He stopped laughing and added. "Now we're basically tied with them, and we can still maintain about 50% of the market share. But I don't think that's enough. ”

Li Sheng thought for a while, pursed his lips, and said, "Do you want to reduce the price?" If you don't want to play yin, the most beneficial way for Silent Farm is to fight a price war.

Fernando glanced at him, nodded and said, "I do have this idea. The quality of our truffles is no worse than that of wild ones, and as long as the price is lowered, the overall market can be expanded. And wild truffle production is limited, and we can occupy this part of the market. ”

As for the price reduction, Li Sheng couldn't decide right away. He doesn't think it's a good idea to fight a price war. He thought for a moment and said, "Can you start with the efficacy?"

Truffles are a luxury that has been touted for hundreds of years, and the research in Europe has been thorough. At the beginning, Fernando brought some to test, mainly to test safety. As for the nutritional value and therapeutic value, it has not been studied in depth.

And in the eyes of Europeans, the same thing is the same. If you give a cylindrical wooden bar as a reference, then take a plastic cylindrical bar and a wooden cuboid and ask them which one is closer to the reference. The vast majority of Westerners will choose short cylindrical rods made of plastic. The reason is that it is the same as the shape of the reference object.

The same kind of truffle is the same, that's what Westerners think. The difference is that the bigger the one may taste better.

And Li Sheng doesn't like truffles very much, so he didn't test them or anything. However, he felt that the things that came out of the space could be better. For example, rice and wheat are like that.

Li Sheng was about to continue when his phone rang.

Seeing that the call was from Anthony, he smiled apologetically at Fernando and answered the phone.

Anthony said on the other side of the phone: "Li, I just received a call from a trader from two countries, Jipan and Southern Korea. They want to visit you. Do you want to see them, when are you free?"

Li Sheng subconsciously wanted to refuse. In the Asian market, all the products of Silent Farm have been handed over to Chen Bo and Luo Zheng. But if you refuse, you still stop talking.

He is also a businessman, and if he can not offend people, he will not offend. The words came to his lips, and he said something else: "Who are they?"

The self-proclaimed chicken pan is the deputy general manager of Songqi Agricultural Trading. Nam Cho-lai claimed to be a director of the Korea Grain Import and Export Corporation. ”

Li Sheng thought for a moment and said, "You just said that you can't contact me for the time being." I'll get back to you later. He needed to ask Chen Bo. He suspected that the two men might have been in contact with Chen Bo before. Maybe it was because I didn't negotiate with Chen Bo that I found here. Yes or no, Li Sheng's way of dealing with it also needs to be different.

After Li Sheng hung up the phone, he said to Fernando, "I'm sorry. It was Anthony who called and said that there were agricultural traders in Jipan and the Southern Dynasty who came to the door. ”

Fernando chuckled and said, "Looks like your friend is also in competition." ”

Li Sheng remembered that when he returned to China, Chen Bo talked about the situation of promoting the market in two countries, and the chicken plate was still okay, but the stick country encountered great resistance. And now that the two countries came to the door almost at the same time, he was also a little curious to see what their purpose was.
