Volume III Chapter 42 The Patriarchal Consciousness
At Silent Farm, the first rain of the rainy season fell intermittently for almost a month, and the day after that began to be sunny continuously. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ infoOn a rainy day, Li Sheng has carefully planned the latest industrial layout of the farm. In addition, he asked Chen Bo to help find an agricultural machinery factory in China and let them transform a high-efficiency forage harvester and baling machinery.
He saw that the weather was good, so he asked Zhang Feng to gather all the workers who had free time. Preparation for the construction of a ranch fence.
In the future, the cattle were kept in these pens.
Li Sheng took out the map he had drawn, and in the future, the pastures for cattle herds would be centered on twelve herding workers' camps, and in the future, each cattle pen would be stocked with about 50,000 head of cattle.
Several of the farm's top management already knew that the farm pasture was going to sell pasture. Zhang Feng was very supportive of the construction of the cattle pen. Previously, the area of cattle grazing was too large, and the work intensity of the herdsmen was also high. Now in captivity, it is easy for the free-range cattle to control the grazing range, and the workers even need to keep the fence intact and pay attention to the health of the herd, and do nothing else.
Each of the cattle pens planned by Li Sheng included a small lake for the cattle to drink, and the area within each pen was about 200 square kilometers, and finally more than 7,500 square kilometers of pasture was vacated for harvesting pasture.
And on the wharf, a boatload of two-and-a-half-meter-long ten-centimeter-square cement pillars arrived. The cement pillars were poured in the south where there was less rain. And the one who did this project was the Huaxia construction company that Li Sheng had been cooperating with before. They came to Brazil again and rented a place to pour the cement formwork first. When the weather on the farm was a little better, they sent someone to build the foundation. Then the molds are shipped to the farm to set up a warehouse.
That was the only way Li Sheng could think of to complete the forage warehouse needed by the farm in the shortest possible time.
On this day, Li Sheng was driving a cement pile pit. School has opened, and Tia, who is unemployed, is also carrying a shovel and has to follow. Li Sheng came to work, one because he was idle. The second engineering team had insufficient piling machinery.
The pile driver can make a pile hole in about a minute, while the worker needs at least ten minutes. In order to speed up the speed and at the same time not leave the workers idle, the workers are also digging by hand. There are also some kinds of stakes.
Those who needed ten minutes did not include Li Sheng, who held the kind of shovel in rural China, and dug hard into a large piece of mud, as easily as if he were digging tofu. Everyone else was digging in pairs, taking turns, but Tia was not helping at all with a shovel on the side. The most hateful thing is that Li Sheng didn't even shed a drop of sweat, so she didn't even have a chance to help wipe her sweat.
"Boss, let's rest first. It's time for dinner. Some of the workers had already begun to pack up their tools and get on the ATVs to go to the canteen for dinner, while others were calling him from afar.
Li Sheng straightened up, turned around and said, "I'll go after digging this." Although the workers call him the boss, they are not afraid of him as the boss, and this atmosphere makes him like it.
Li Sheng dug the hole in the pile, lifted the shovel, and said with a smile to Tia, who was holding a handkerchief on the side, "Let's go, let's go back too." β
He looked at the girl's hot sweat, and felt a little distressed: "I asked you not to come." It's uncomfortable to wear in overalls. "Of course, you have to wear special denim clothes when you come out to work, which is a kind of ordeal in the tropics. "My face is all red. "Tia wears a visor, but the ultraviolet rays don't care about a thin cloth like you.
Tia jumped up and ran to him, saying, "I'll dig by myself in the afternoon." β
Li Sheng reached out and took the shovel in her hand and put it on his shoulder, took her hand, and said, "I'll talk about it in the afternoon." Maybe she used to work a lot in the tribe, but when she arrived at the farm, Li Sheng never let her do farm work. Now that I pick up the tool again, I'm afraid I won't be able to dig a few times and I'll get blisters on my hands.
But before they could get to the cafeteria, Li Sheng's mobile phone rang when they were in the car.
The call was from Thomas: "Lee, something happened to Yali. β
"Yali, she's coming to the farm?" Li Sheng didn't react for a moment.
"Her father owed a loan shark, and she was caught by a loan shark and called the farm for help. β
Li Sheng's brows furrowed and he asked, "Why didn't you call the police?"
"She has been controlled by loan sharks and is now being asked to call to borrow money. β
Li Sheng interrupted him loudly and said, "I mean, why didn't you call the police?"
Thomas seemed to be frightened by Li Sheng's somewhat rough tone, but he quickly explained: "Yali is the spokesperson of our farm, and many products have her photos printed on them, and if you call the police, it will be very bad for our farm if this matter is exposed." β
Li Sheng was a little regretful that his tone was a little rushed just now, and he really didn't explain it, so he apologized in a deep voice and said, "I'm sorry, Thomas." I apologize for what I just said. β
"I didn't mind. I know you're worried about Yali. What are we going to do now? Are we going to lend money to Yali?"
Li Sheng thought for a moment and said, "Has Yali been hurt?"
"Probably not, but she seemed scared and kept crying on the phone. β
Li Sheng pondered for a moment and said, "You call back the phone just now, and say that we will send the money over by tomorrow." But they were asked not to hurt Yali. β
"Okay, I'll call them. β
Tia listened to what Li Sheng said on the phone, and she was also anxious: "Li, what happened to Yali?" Yali has been to the farm a few times, and the two of them are not too different in age, and they are both women with the same temperament. Tia lacked friends, and the two became friends. This will make her feel anxious when she hears that something happened to Yali.
Li Sheng smiled at her and said, "Yali is an employee of the farm, and that is our family. Don't worry, I won't let her be fine. β
Tia asked Li Sheng to help Yali, and when she heard him say this, she felt a lot more relieved. In her impression, Li Sheng promised her something, and she never couldn't do it.
Li Sheng first sent Tia to the cafeteria, but went to find Thomas himself. Anthony was there too.
When Thomas learns what happened to Yali, he says, "I'll take care of this." β
"Lee, they're gangsters. Let's be cautious. Anthony persuaded. Although Yali is the spokesperson of the farm, such an incident will have a certain impact on the image of the farm. But he felt that it was not Yali's fault in this matter, even if it was reported by the media, there would be more sympathetic people. "Actually, it would be better if we called the police. β
Li Sheng thought about it for a while, and knew that if he called the police, the matter would probably be resolved. Anyway, the person who owes the debt is not Tia, no matter which country there is no law for the repayment of the debt of the father and the son, it is just the underground rules of the gangsters, and it cannot be put on the table.
But calling the police didn't keep Yali safe.
He can't control the others, and he doesn't want to care. But Yali signed a work contract with him, and the two parties were in an employment relationship. As a boss, you have a responsibility to keep your employees safe. Although that wasn't a matter for Yali's scope of work. But it wasn't Yali's own fault, the employee asked for help, and he, as the boss, couldn't ignore it.
"Calling the police may solve the problem. Li Sheng said with a calm face. "However, I'm worried that they're going to do something bad to Yali. β
Anthony knew that Li Sheng's worries were not superfluous, if the police were really that powerful, there would be no gangsters. The police came to the door, and as long as the other party hid Tia, they could push it away. And human trafficking, in Brazil, is the main business.
Anthony is happy to see Li Sheng's attention to his employees, but he is also worried about Li Sheng's safety: "If you don't let Babur handle it." "Babur is the security team of the farm, and it is one of his responsibilities to protect the safety of his employees.
Li Sheng thought for a moment and said, "I'd better go." He thought for a moment and said. "I'll take Zhang and Bai with me. β
When Anthony heard that he was going to take Zhang Dingbian and Bai Qin there, he was also relieved and didn't say anything else. After all, that's just a negotiation, not necessarily a conflict.
Li Sheng thought about it for a while and called the bank to make an appointment.
Li Sheng rushed to Rio with Zhang Dingbian and Bai Qin and went to the bank to withdraw money. They made an appointment with the loan shark who held Yali to meet during the day. The meeting place is a regular financial company.
When he came to the place, Li Sheng didn't know what to say to the gangsters who acted in such a grand manner. When he was at the door, he said to Bai Qin, "Wait a minute, don't be impulsive. β
Bai Qin was shocked, he had indeed been holding back anger in his heart. It's just that he consciously hides it very well, how can the boss see it? But Li Sheng's words also made him feel a lot calmer.
Zhang Dingbian was also stunned, but he thought that Bai Qin's performance today was indeed a little abnormal. After thinking about it carefully, I probably understood in my heart that this brother actually had a heart for Yali.
He patted Bai Qin on the shoulder and said, "Wait a minute, listen to the boss." β
Bai Qin gritted his teeth, nodded and said, "I understand." β
Li Sheng walked into the company, saw some camera guns on the wall shooting at the ceiling, smiled and said his name at the front desk. The front desk checked and said, "Welcome, Mr. Li." Mr. Charles is waiting for you in the conference room. The meeting room is on the fifth floor. β
On the surface, this company is not run by gangs at all, they don't see a few employees, but they look like ordinary people, and they don't see anything related to gangs at all. But who knew it was a loan shark run by a gang?
They were searched behind them and led to the conference room. In the conference room, there was no one waiting as the front desk said. But the clerk who brought them in said, "Wait a minute, Mr. Charles will be here shortly." β
This 'immediately' made Li Sheng and them wait for almost half an hour.
During this period, Bai Qin wanted to speak several times, but was stopped by Zhang Dingbian. Of course, Li Sheng also discovered the small movements of the two. He's just funny, Bai Qin looks like a person who seems to be very calm, and when he encounters something with the woman he likes, he will become uncontrollable.
But think about yourself, Li Sheng feels that it is a very normal thing. He seems to have been angry twice because of Tia. That's more than he'd ever flared out in the last twenty years or so combinedβfor as long as he can remember, he remembered being quiet, barely getting angry about anything.
