Volume 3 Chapter 91 Signs of a Deepening Food Crisis
In the next two days, Li Sheng walked around the farm after a little leisure, so that the workers everywhere could see his people and show that he attached importance to the production everywhere. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
But he's really just going around, everything is basically normal on the farm, and he doesn't have to worry about anything. Even the cattle in the No. 5 cattle pen have not had new sick cattle for several days, and the sick cattle have basically stabilized their condition, and most of them have recovered.
But Li Sheng couldn't really be idle, and Thomas perfected the plan he gave a few days ago to report to him.
Li Sheng has seen this revised plan, and the basic things have not been modified, but some plans have been made for some possible accidents.
He took a brief look and said, "You mean that the other teams go through the tryouts first, but how do we organize it?"
"We just have to pay for it and find a commission to do it," Thomas said. It is impossible to get official recognition for such a competition, but there are many non-governmental organizations that are willing to host such activities. Of course, we need to send someone to oversee it. Guarantee impartiality and use of funds. ”
Li Sheng thought for a moment and said, "Your idea is good. It's just that it takes too much time. ”
"It does take a while to prepare, but you can pick the best team. And it can also be used to warm up for the final of the farm. It can also make more people pay attention to our cup competition. ”
Li Sheng pondered for a moment and said, "Then follow what you say." You have to work this matter. ”
"Okay, I'll take care of this myself. Thomas thought for a moment and then said. "But I think it's better to only invite teams from São Paulo and Rio for the time being. ”
Li Sheng has no objection to this. It doesn't get too big that way. He thought for a moment and said, "You don't seem to have mentioned the appearance fee for the tryouts in your plan. ”
"Yes, if you feel you should give, I recommend not too much. Otherwise, there will be a lot of people who pretend to be the team. ”
Li Sheng smiled and said: "Anyway, it's all a knockout round, and the appearance fee for each game is two hundred and forty reais, which should be enough for their travel expenses to participate." ”
Thomas had to remind him: "That's probably a lot of money. ”
Li Sheng smiled, took out a check, picked up a signature pen and wrote it on the check, and said, "It's better to give back to the society." He tore off the written check and handed it to Thomas.
When Thomas saw it, it turned out to be 30 million reais. He glanced at Li Sheng, who was still smiling, and didn't say anything.
After Thomas left, Li Sheng returned to the living room and sat down. Twenty million reais surprised Thomas, but Li Sheng didn't feel anything. This money is only a drop in the bucket compared to what he can earn. Of course, his money is not blowing in the wind, he is willing to pay this money seems to be in a project that does not see the possibility of profit, but in fact, if the project is done well, it will benefit a lot.
And if he doesn't pull out a dime after making money, the world doesn't care if you are the protagonist or a supporting role, take a spray!
He is now the "richest man in the world", and the big hat on his head is very eye-catching. Someone will be watching every move. It wasn't long before he put on his hat, and it was the most curious time. Now do something that is beneficial to society that makes people look good, and the effect is the greatest.
That night, Li Sheng received a call from Tia. He was a little strange, isn't this girl traveling? This time should be morning in East Asia, she must have gone to play.
He quickly answered the phone. Tia's face was first seen on the screen, but the background sound was noisy, and there seemed to be a large crowd of people shouting in the distance. When he saw that Tia was fine, he felt a lot more relieved: "Are you shopping?"
Tia looked at the phone screen, because it was too noisy, so she had to wear earplugs to hear Li Sheng's voice. She snickered and said, "Li, the people of the Southern Dynasty are protesting!"
She pointed her phone camera at the crowd holding a sign and shouting slogans from the end of the street for more than 10 seconds before turning the camera to herself: "I heard it's a protest against high food prices." ”
Li Sheng on the mobile phone screen just smiled and said, "Leave them alone, protest or something, you have to stay away." ”
Tia's eyes were crooked, and she said, "Don't be afraid, Li Gang and Sister Yang Yue will protect me." ”
She watched the crowd of protesters getting closer and closer, leaned in on the side of the road, hid behind Li Gang, and then crackled and said, "Today, Anthony and Blanca took me out early in the morning to see the clothes." However, the clothes have not been bought yet, and some people are heard protesting outside. I heard that there were people protesting against the high price of food. I'll just come out and have a look. Hmph, look at them and dare to ban the products of the farm, they deserve to have nothing to eat. Don't you know, the rice here is hard to eat and expensive. A kilogram costs almost eight reais. The price of bread has also increased, and yesterday I bought a small cake for Chai Xi and it cost almost four reais, but the same cake in China costs a little more than one reais. And their fruits are also so expensive. ”
She glanced at the protest procession that had passed her, and the sound of slogans made her worry that Li Sheng would not be able to hear what she was saying. She trotted back to the clothing store and continued, "And how good it is to say that the Southern Dynasty is so good." If it had been for the people of the slums of Brazil, they would have starved to death long ago. ”
Li Shengcai on the other side of the phone didn't bother to care about what happened to the Southern Dynasty, and said: "Anyway, we won't live anywhere, let them go." Are you having fun over there?"
"So-so. There is nothing to buy. What is here, Huaxia has. Some people say that the clothes here are beautiful, but I don't think so. Fashionable clothes look much better than theirs. Some people say that the cosmetics here are good, and they say that they have matsutake active elements. Hmph, their matsutake mushrooms aren't as good as ours. And ......" Tia's eyes narrowed with a smile. "Blanca said I have good skin and don't need makeup. ”
Li Sheng on the phone laughed out loud and said softly, "Blanca is right, Tia is the most beautiful." ”
Tia looked around embarrassedly, worried that someone would hear Li Sheng's words. When she remembered that she was wearing earplugs, she stuck out her tongue and said, "How embarrassed are others to hear it?"
"I'm telling the truth. What's there to be embarrassed about?"
"Hmph, Yali said that the most powerful thing about men is sweet words. Tia smiled sweetly, but her mouth didn't admit it, and she transferred to the topic just now. "Li, it seems that the Southern Dynasty is short of food now. I heard that they were hit by a typhoon, and a lot of farmland was damaged. What kind of virus is there this year, I can't find food that can be imported, and I don't have enough food in my own country. They must be looking for food. You can't sell cheaply. They sell a very poor kilogram of rice for eight reais, and our rice has to be sold to them for at least nine reais. ”
Li Sheng asked a little strangely: "You don't like them?" ”
"Hmph, they look down on you. Of course I'm angry!"
"Why do they look down on me?"
"They are scolding you online. Hmph, I know they were jealous. Many people in Huaxia say that they are very inferior, and they can't see that Huaxia people are better than them. So if you are better than them, they will scold you. ”
Li Sheng on the other end of the phone saw her unhappy face, his heart was very relieved, and he said with a smile: "What do they think, I don't bother to pay attention to them." ”
"Well, I didn't bother to pay attention to them! I followed Anthony to the supermarket last night and found that many of their things were so expensive. Blanca said that proved they had little property. Anthony said that it should be a big import market, but because of the government, we can't get a grain of rice from our farm. ”
Li Sheng didn't want to say anything about the of the people of the Southern Dynasties, and asked, "After playing for two days, did you buy any good things?"
Tia smiled squeezingly and said, "I just bought some fruit, and Anthony was a treat for dinner." I didn't spend a penny on the rest. I'm not going to let them make your money. ”
Li Sheng smiled and said, "You don't have to do that. If you see something you like, or jewelry, it doesn't matter if you buy some. ”
"Actually, what is here, Huaxia also has. I don't want to buy it here. Jewelry words. Tia on the screen pouted and said. "I'll wait for you to come to Huaxia and then buy it together!"
Li Sheng paused when he heard this. Speaking of which, he really hasn't bought any accessories for Tia. He thought for a moment and said, "Then next time, I'll send you a set of jewelry." ”
"Good!" said Tia. Li Sheng heard Blanca's voice calling out to her. Tia answered, then spoke to the screen. "Blanca came to me. I'll go first. ”
"Hmm. There were protests there, and it shouldn't have been very peaceful. You have to be safe. ”
"Well, I know. I'll call you again in the evening. Bye-bye!"
After Li Sheng hung up the phone, he smiled. Although Tia's call was not very long, it brought him a very important message: the Southern Dynasty was short of food.
But he didn't care much about it. Even if there is a shortage of food in the market in the southern dynasties, they will not hand over the initiative to others. He didn't need to focus too much.
If they don't come to him, he doesn't have to worry about not being able to sell this year's rice. If they come to him, the price, of course, cannot be lower. Although it cannot be said that it will be sold for nine reais a kilogram. But five reais still to be desired. That price is, of course, expensive. But who starved them of food?
Now the whole world is crying out about the lack of food, and they may not be able to import food if they have money.
In the event of a food crisis, countries will definitely ban grain exports. He remembers a similar food crisis ten years ago, when he was a teenager, but to a much lesser extent. In some countries, there has even been social unrest as a result, and many countries have banned food outflows.
And this time the food crisis is much more serious, even if there are countries willing to export grain, there is no need for Li Sheng to guess what the quality of that grain is.
Now the quality of the grain in the Southern Dynasties is not good, and it should be all the reserve grain imported before. The Southern Dynasties had a rather conservative principle of grain imports, that is, imports were worse than domestic varieties. First, they can protect the price of domestic grain, and second, they can also hide their ears and claim internally that their things are the best. As for the good ones, it's not that they don't import, but they are mainly aimed at the rich market. The number is small.
Tia isn't a girl with a bad mouth. Although she was now fed by the Silent Farm, she wasn't used to eating anything else. At least when I was in Hangzhou, I didn't see her say that she was not used to eating. If it weren't for the quality of the rice, she wouldn't have said that it was hard to eat. Therefore, he judged that the rice sold now in the Southern Dynasty should be the old rice in the reserve granary.
The Southern Dynasties had a shortage of grain and needed to import a large amount of grain every year, and of course the grain reserves were also imported. And those grain reserves are for the crisis, and of course they will not be good food. A country that is depleting its food reserves must find new sources of imports. But he didn't think the Southern Dynasty would find him. One is because the grain at Silent Farm is too good, and the second is because it's too expensive. That was not in line with the principle of grain imports for the Southern Koreans. (To be continued.) )
