Volume 1 Chapter 17 The Purchase Order That Can Smash Out the Crater

If beef cattle are raised well, they can be slaughtered at about two years old. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

On average, 900,000 cattle can be slaughtered every year - Li Sheng didn't know that it was impossible, after all, he needed to keep enough cows. At current prices, each cow can be bought for about two thousand, several hundred to three thousand reais.

In Brazil, farmers and herders do not need to pay transaction tax, only personal income tax. And you only need to pay taxes when you make money, so you shouldn't lose money. Of course, special circumstances also need to be considered, such as the occurrence of epidemics, and all cattle cannot be sold.

But he basically doesn't have to think about that special situation. If you think about it, you don't have to do anything. What he considered was that it was impossible for the current funds to buy that many calves.

The main cattle markets are located in the southern plateaus, which are too far away. There are also many cattle farms in the Amazon Plain, and the Matsuda Group, the country's largest cattle breeding company, has opened a large cattle farm here.

He went to Obidos, the larger city closest to the ranch, to find them on the Internet. He is also very depressed about the fact that the ranch does not have access to the Internet.

He also learned that the development of computers in Brazil was very slow and that the fees were quite expensive. The so-called broadband, similar to the Internet access of cats in Huaxia, is said to be slower a few years ago, and now it has improved a lot. And the price of computers is skyrocketing. Perhaps this is the main reason why Brazilians can't be otaku.

It's just that Li Sheng feels that this BRICS country is a bit unworthy of its name......

He wanted to pull the network cable to the ranch, but in the Amazon, there was not even one more road, let alone a transmission line. If you want to go from Obidosla, which has Internet access, a fiber of more than 200 kilometers, the price and time required are really unimaginable.

The best thing to do is to build a signal receiving tower on the ranch, whether it is for wireless Internet access. It's slower, but it's better than not having an internet connection at all.

The matter of raising cattle can be put aside for a while, and he plans to solve the problem of the network first. As a result, when he and Anthony went to the telecommunications department in Obidos, they found the door closed. After asking people nearby, I learned that this department usually works one day and has a day off, and does not work on weekends and Sundays. And today they are resting.

This kind of working time is even more refreshing than a few years ago when a city in China proposed that civil servants work four days a week. I work three days a week. If it's consecutive, every week is a small Golden Week.

Seeing Li Sheng's depressed face, Anthony smiled and said to him in English: "The romance of Brazilians makes them prefer to play rather than work, so they always find ways to shorten the working hours." It's better to be in this situation, at least we know when they're open. If there's a strike, you don't even know for a month or two if you'll be able to wait until you open the door. ”

"Are you sure you're not talking about Paris, but Brazil?" Li Sheng really didn't know about this.

"It's true that there are a lot of strikes in Paris, but they don't usually last long and have a relatively definite duration. And the strikes in Brazil, you don't know when they'll end, sometimes long enough for workers to go on a round-the-world trip. Anthony laughed. "If you spend a lot of time in Brazil, you can experience the romance of Brazil. They have carnivals that will make your blood boil, and they also have work efficiency that you can't smile at wryly. ”

"Forget it, I'll talk about the Internet next time. We went to the Matsuda Group office. "There are quite a few cattle farms near Obidos, so there is also an office of the Matsuda Group in this small town. "Hopefully they don't rest today. ”

The Matsuda Group office is open today, but there are only two staff members. One is a chubby half-breed aunt and the other is an Indian boy. The mixed-race aunt seemed to be the person in charge of this office, and as soon as she saw the two of them entering the door, she stood up enthusiastically and said, "Welcome to Matsuda Group, what do you need?"

Although this aunt's complexion is dark, and the characteristics of black people are quite obvious, with thick lips and a round face, Li Sheng has absolutely no skin color discrimination. "We want a batch of calves that are eight to nine months in size," he laughs. ”

"Okay. Our Songtian Group is the largest cattle breeding enterprise in the country, and the Solomon breeding cattle we have cultivated account for 33% of the country's cattle breeds, and the quality of cattle breeds can be guaranteed. I don't know how many calves you're going to have?"

Li Shengleng paused for a moment, asked Anthony in English, and said, "Didn't they say that they also bred zebu cattle? How did they become Solomon cattle? Is there such a breed of cattle?"

Unexpectedly, the aunt also understands English: "This gentleman, our Solomon cow is actually our company's own modified zebu cow." This kind of cattle has the advantages of high meat yield, fast growth, strong resistance to stress and strong disease resistance. Today, it has become a well-known breed of cattle in Brazil. ”

I speak English so slippery, no wonder I can become the head of this office. Li Sheng hurriedly concealed his ignorance and said: "If we buy 200,000 heads, how much does it cost to deliver them to the door, and how much time does it take?"

"Two hundred thousand!" exclaimed. "Oh, I beg your pardon! The number of 200,000 scared me. Isn't that wrong? Not twenty, not twenty thousand?"

"Yes. I'm going to buy 200,000 heads. Is your company running low on production?"

"Of course. Oh, I mean certainly enough. Aunt said at a loss. "But I need to check with headquarters. Two hundred thousand head of cattle, which is too many. Gentlemen, please wait a moment, sorry, can I know your name?"

Li Sheng nodded and said, "My name is Li Sheng, you can call me Li." ”

Generally speaking, cattle farms usually have cows and breed some calves themselves. Like Li Sheng, who buys all the calves, and there are so many of them, this situation basically does not occur.

The aunt dialed the phone and reported the matter to the headquarters.

After all, Matsuda Group is the largest cattle breeding enterprise in the country, and there is still efficiency. The stats were made in 10 minutes. And fax the documents over.

The aunt took the fax and looked at it for a while, and said, "Li." I have to say you're in luck. Now that the price of beef is declining, many cattle farms have no plans to expand, and there are more calves in the eight to nine months, with about 100,000 heads. But in addition to these 100,000 heads, we now have 250,000 calves that are six months and eight months old and ten months old to one year old. I wonder if you're interested?"

Calves that are half a year old to one year old. Li Sheng didn't think there was much of a problem. But he had other plans: "Is there a heifer about eighteen months old?" he checked, and the heifer can get pregnant at about two years old.

"Let me see. Yes, we do, but not in many ways. There are only more than 13,000 heads. ”

"What's the price?"

"R$4.4 per kilogram for calves and R$5.7 per kilogram for cows. ”

Li Sheng asked again: "Is shipping included?"

"Of course not. Shipping costs will be charged separately. Don't know where your cattle farm is. ”

"Just across the river from Olishmina. Li Sheng said. "It used to be a tree farm, and now I bought it and turned it into a pasture. ”

"Oh, that's a big place. And I've heard you're doing a good job. It's become a prairie. I'm guessing you must have a really good pasture. The eldest lady said with an exaggerated expression. "If it were there, I would think it would cost 50 reais per cow for shipping. ”

Li Sheng learned that they had so many cattle, and added another 100,000 to the list.

If there are more than 300,000 head of cattle, then the freight will cost 15 million reais. It seemed like a high cost of freight, but he knew that a lot of cattle might need to be shipped from all over the country. That's not too outrageous.

Money he doesn't have enough now. But there will always be a way. "How long will it take for it all to be delivered," he asked. How do I pay for the cow?"

"I think it will be delivered within a month. "Brazilian aunts don't say anything short about the time it takes. "All cattle are weighed after delivery. A portion of the cattle payment needs to be paid upfront. However, the exact amount will need to be negotiated with the headquarters. ”

"Good. When will your company headquarters send someone to negotiate?"

"Soon. I think they'll be coming soon. Aunt said with a smile. Although the business was not entirely handled by her, the initial negotiations were completed with her. Maybe after the business is done, the headquarters will give her a good reward.
