Volume 3 Chapter 120 The More Questions There Are The More Ideas (Bao 2)

This year's rainy season came a little later than usual, and at the end of November, it still didn't start to rain. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 infoHowever, according to the weather forecast, in the Amazon rainforest area, the high pressure is moving north, and the rainy season should come soon.

Outdoor construction at Silent Farm has largely stopped, and the construction team from Huaxia is preparing to evacuate. The farm is also planting a new crop of rice, which will be planted in a few days. All parties are also preparing for the rainy season.

Fernando also came to Silent Farm because the rainy season was approaching.

Li Sheng took him to the dock to take a look. For the next few days, the farm will no longer be able to deliver pasture. The only ones who are still busy loading the ship are cows and pigs. Cattle and pigs can be driven directly onto the boat.

Workers are busy retrieving the floating conveyor belt so that it will not be washed away by the sudden flood. When the river level rises to almost the surface, the conveyor belt can still be used again.

Fernando already knew Li Sheng's intentions and watched as the cattle were driven to the riverbed and then boarded a ship dedicated to transporting live animals.

"Fortunately, the river didn't stop flowing, otherwise beef sales would have been affected," he said with a smile. ”

Li Sheng also smiled and said: "The situation is better than I thought. My few hovercraft were there to prevent the river from being completely impassable for emergency cargo transport. Fortunately, the water of Lake Sipalu still has a certain amount of water in the river. ”

Silent Farm's beef has stood the test of the market and has a certain brand effect in Europe and Asia. Silent Farm's GI cattle are now slaughtered and frozen onto airplanes. Absolutely no refrigerated meat. If there is no way to get cattle on the terminal, the markets in Europe and Asia will be out of stock.

The news of Silent Farm's purchase of several hovercraft has also caused a lot of buzz in Brazil. Fernando certainly heard about it. Spend tens of millions of dollars to buy a few useless ships, and I'm afraid there will be no one except Li Sheng.

However, this is Li Sheng's private matter, and he doesn't want to comment on this kind of loser behavior. He smiled and said, "Otherwise, let's go and take a look at the warehouse." ”

Li Sheng nodded and said, "Then let's go." He knew that Fernando wanted to see the secondary packaging of the pasture.

The warehouse of the pasture was downstream of the pier, not very far from the pier, and they did not drive there.

The warehouse has 50 buildings, each covering an area of nearly 1,000 square meters, each with seven floors. Originally, Li Sheng prepared 50 buildings to be used as warehouses, but five of them were used to cultivate matsutake mushrooms. There are also several trees used for truffle cultivation.

Fernando is well aware of the increase and decrease in matsutake production at Silent Farm. However, the price reduction of matsutake mushrooms is mainly in Asia. Prices in Europe are not falling.

"Which are the factories where matsutake mushrooms are cultivated?" Fernando looked at these huge buildings and couldn't help but admire Li Sheng's generosity. Without these warehouses, there may not be enough forage to sell during the rainy season. The increased production of matsutake mushrooms has also greatly increased his income from acting as an agent of Silent Farm's products.

The dozens of buildings were divided into two rows, and Li Sheng pointed to the end of the row away from the river and said, "There it is." It's the furthest away from the docks, and no dockers rush there. ”

Fernando smiled and said, "I heard that the Japanese [Ben] people stole your technology, and it turned out to be very embarrassing. ”

Li Sheng laughed and said, "That's their own fault." But if they do that, for at least two years, their market will be controlled by us. ”

In order to grow matsutake mushrooms as soon as possible, many people buy matsutake mycelium at a high price. As a result, most of the hyphae died after the medium was undernourished. The blow to the matsutake cultivation industry in chicken pans was almost devastating. There is no way to recover without two years.

Fernando smiled and suddenly said, "The products of Silent Farm are close to saturation in Europe. I intend to promote it to the United States. ”

Li Sheng thought for a moment and said, "Of course there is no problem. However, the production capacity of various products on the farm is so large for the time being. He paused and said seriously. "I suggest you discuss it with Chen Bo. ”

Both of them have equal share of supply, and if Fernando wants to open up the US market, he will inevitably need more supply, and he is worried that Chen Bo may not be willing. So he hoped that the two of them could discuss it.

Fernando understood what he meant and said, "I will discuss the distribution market with Chen. "Fernando does not intend to monopolize the North American market.

Li Sheng laughed when he heard him say this. He said, "Just understand." ”

Fernando also smiled and said, "I also hope you can understand me." I need more supplies, especially caviar and truffles. There is still a big market for those two things in North America. ”

Li Sheng thought for a moment and said, "I will try to increase production capacity." I'm not going to invest too much, though. "There's so much civil engineering work on Silent Farm right now that it doesn't feel like a farm at all.

Fernando nodded in understanding: "Try to be fine." ”

As they spoke, they came to a warehouse with an open door. Outside the door, a tractor is unloading several hay wagons.

Because the work over there is busy, just watching the workers busy.

Fernando watched as the workers packed the hay pressed into rectangular pieces of the wagons into transparent film bags and dropped them onto a movable conveyor belt. The conveyor belt is sent to the end and falls into a machine, where it comes out with the bag already air-pumped and sealed.

And there are workers who enlarge the sealed hay on another conveyor belt and transfer it to another machine. By the time the hay came out, it had already been covered with several packing tapes.

"Where did you get this machine?" Fernando saw that there were two sets of machines, and the efficiency was still very fast. "What's the use of the machine in the back?"

Li Sheng smiled, pointed to the sealed packaging machine and said, "Those are two second-hand fertilizer packaging equipment, which have been slightly transformed." The latter two are ordinary large packaging machines, which are available in many factories that need to be packed. In order to make it more convenient for workers when loading the ship. ”

Fernando understood as soon as he heard it. If there are no packaging belts, the transparent film packaging is slippery, and if the conveyor belt is used to load the ship, the workers will have a hard time.

"How much packaging can you pack on this day?"

"If you run at full speed, you can pack about 6,000 cubic meters 24 hours a day. ”

Fernando nodded and said, "That should be about the same." ”

Li Sheng said with a smile: "A warehouse can hold about 2,000 cubic meters, so it is impossible to rotate 24 hours a day. Recently, it has been mainly the packaging of the previously stored goods. And in the dry season, whether these grasses need to be packaged or not will be considered at that time. ”

After this hay is compressed, one cubic meter is about 0.9 tons, and a warehouse actually stores about 10,000 tons of forage.

Fernando also knew this, and he also knew that the current reserves of forage on Silent Farm were only about 300,000 tons. And this amount obviously does not meet his needs. They now estimate that their customers are around three million feeder cattle, which is only enough for forty to fifty days at Silent Farm.

He hesitated for a moment, thinking that making this suggestion should not disgust Li Sheng: "I think Silent Farm should be able to build more warehouses." Otherwise, it is difficult to meet the needs of the market during the rainy season. ”

Li Sheng thought for a moment and asked, "Can't the company build more reserve points?"

"But you also need to have enough capacity here. Fernando spread his hands and said. "According to our estimates, we are likely to have a fattening market with an average of more than six million cattle next year. And even more. The outside reserves are only being depleted faster and faster. I'm worried that the loading and unloading speed at your port here can't keep up. ”

Li Sheng felt that what he said was reasonable. He thought for a moment and said, "The rainy season is coming, and even if you want to build, you will have to wait until next year's dry season." I'll think about it during this time. ”

They looked around the warehouse for a while, and Fernando proposed to see the Momosage harvest.

Li Sheng took him to see it. Seeing that the farm was doing its best to harvest the pasture, Fernando couldn't say much, but he still said with some regret: "The harvest is still relatively slow." Maybe next year this pace will not keep up with sales. ”

Li Sheng could only smile bitterly and said that he would increase manpower and speed up the harvest.

Thinking of recruiting workers on a large scale again, Li Sheng couldn't help but start thinking about the placement of workers again. Many of the temporary workers are now sitting in sheds, and Li Sheng is reluctant to build new dormitories everywhere. It's too cumbersome to manage that way.

He prefers to have workers living together, which he doesn't think is the most important issue, even though it would take them a certain amount of time to travel between their work and their place of work. In terms of transportation, he could have thought of another way.

In fact, the number of workers who work in a dispersed manner is not large, and more of them are engaged in the work of forage harvesting. And the location of this work is not fixed, and the whole playground is their work area. In the future, if there are a large number of workers, it will be in the hilly area. He could have gotten some cars or let the workers buy their own cars. After all, the salary he gives is not low, and it is not difficult for a worker to buy a car.

After seeing the grass harvest, Fernando did not continue to ask to look at other things. The two drove back to the management area.

In the car, there were two people, Li Sheng and Fernando. As the car passed by the completed soccer school, Fernando once again exclaimed: "It's hard to imagine that this school was actually built on a farm." ”

The football school covers an area of several hundred acres, with three school buildings, an indoor stadium, and three other courts. By design, the school can accommodate about 1,000 students. Of course, these students are not necessarily boys, and he will also recruit girls.

When he passed by just now, Fernando also gave a bad admiration, and Li Sheng just smiled and didn't speak. This school cost him at least 80 million dollars, and if it's not good, it's a joke.

"By the way, didn't you plan to work with AtlΓ©tico last time? I'm buying AtlΓ©tico de Portugal. Now I have acquired more than 30% of the shares. When I take holdings, I'd like to hear about your plans. ”

"You bought Atletico Portugal?" Li Sheng didn't want to hear such news. "I've heard that it's hard to make money playing with your feet. ”

"The love of the fans is not measured by money. Fernando said with a smile. "I didn't have that capital before, and even if I bought it, I might not be able to guarantee the investment in the team. But now it's different. As for the revenue, if you just look at the sponsorship, ticket sales and player image management, it is really difficult to make money. ”

He smiled and continued, "But a stadium can drive a business circle. In addition, training players is also a kind of income. (To be continued.) )
