Volume 3 Chapter 45 Business is not just about buying and selling
When it comes to hairstyles, Tia never cares. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info her hair quality is very good, and she doesn't have to blow it completely when she blows, and when it's almost over, let it dry naturally, comb it with a comb, or leave a straight hair, or tie a ponytail, that is her most common hairstyle. So Li Sheng can also be qualified to be her image designer.
Yes, Tia is not a quiet customer. She tilted her head back and asked, "How long will Yali stay on the farm in the future?" Can I play with her? β
She didn't know that such a big move would make her even more seductive. Li Sheng blinked, glanced at a certain place twice, and then looked into her eyes and said, "If she is free, you can play with her." But don't go for the next two days. β
"Why?" Tia wasn't questioning, just curious.
"Let Shiro spend more time with her." In fact, he didn't want Tia to see Yali's current embarrassment. Two days later, perhaps the wound on Yali's face was healed.
Tia's eyes widened, and she suddenly said, "Shiro likes Yali? β
Li Sheng nodded with a smile and said, "Hmm." β
"Does Yari like Shiro too?"
"It should be good."
Tia returned her head to its normal position and said with a smile, "Then I'll look for her in a few days." But she thought about it for a while, and the gossip in her heart seemed to be a little unbearable, and said. I'm going to call her tonight. β
After returning from Rio, it still rains a lot, but there are more sunny days. Anthony felt that the in-farm sports meeting that Li Sheng had planned to hold before seemed to be able to be held. He also began to prepare for the first Silent Farm Games when the construction of the cattle pen was completed.
However, he received a strange phone call, and the caller made a request that made him a little embarrassed. In the end, he decided to talk to Li Sheng.
So he found Li Sheng in Li Sheng's office.
"Sandru Manuel?" Li Sheng felt that the name was a bit impressive. He recalled, and soon he remembered who the other person was. He remembered that the other party was an Indian tour guide who had been a guide for him and Tia in Manaus.
Anthony didn't expect Li Sheng to pay attention not to what he said, but to the person who called: "Do you know this person?" β
Li Sheng smiled and nodded: "A few months ago, didn't I take Tia and Chahi to Manaus to buy clothes?" At that time, a local tour guide was hired, also called by this name. I just don't know if it's the same person. β
When Anthony heard that this was the reason, he smiled and said, "It should be the same person." He claimed to be from Manaus, and he was a tour guide, and he also claimed to be Caboquero. I guess it won't be such a coincidence that people who meet several conditions at the same time. He paused, then asked. So what do you mean? Agree or refuse? β
It turned out that Sandru Manuel had called Anthony because he had heard from the Cabotro Country Radio in SantarΓ©m that Farm of Silence was going to host a sports day. It is attended by surrounding Indian villages and farm workers, and there is a considerable amount of prize money.
Maybe he had an idea about the bonuses and asked Anthony if Silent Farm would accept Indians from elsewhere.
Anthony thought that if he agreed, he could increase his fame and prestige in the Amazon. Do not think that the Amazon plain is small in population and prestige in this place does not play much role. In fact, there is a large proportion of Indians in this area, and although many of them are at the bottom of society, if they can be made to have a good impression of Silent Farm, it can also form a strong support force for Silent Farm.
It's just that if you accept their registration, it will make the organization of this event on the farm a lot of trouble. At least settling in for these participants from the field is a nuisance that cannot be ignored.
Li Sheng thought about the pros and cons of this matter for a while, and instead of making a decision immediately, he asked Anthony: "Do you know anything about that Cabocrow Country Radio?" β
"Understand something." Because the other party is the most widespread and large number of Indian communities in the Amazon Plain, Anthony, who has Indian ancestry, is still more concerned.
"The Caboquero people, about 180,000 people, although they have integrated colonial culture, still retain many Indian cultural traditions, claiming to be the holders of Indian culture in the Amazon plain. They were widely distributed, running a village radio station in SantarΓ©m, which mainly used their indigenous language to spread Amazonian culture, introduce farming techniques and report news about the Indians. β
Li Sheng asked again: "What kind of people are the Kapokro people?" β
"Actually, they don't have to be the same people. Most of them are located along the banks of the main tributaries of the Amazon basin, and were originally indigenous tribes of the Indians, although the colonists later referred to these tribes collectively as Cabocrow. It is a contemptuous term that means a person who is greedy for cheapness and engages in deception. But by now, they seem to be proud of this title. Of course, that's not to say they like to cheat. Anthony explained.
"They make a living mainly by making Indian handicrafts, but some of them act as rainforest guides. They can take tourists deep into the flooded forest during the flood season and travel for twenty days without getting lost. This kind of ability needs to be practiced for more than ten years to do. β
Li Sheng smiled and said, "Although I don't know about them. But I think they are still very qualified as tour guides. "Sandru Manuel had a good impression on him.
He paused, then smiled again and said, "That Sandru is going to a football game?" It seems that he has his eye on the 30,000 reais bonus. He remembers seeing Sandru Manuel who was not much better off financially.
Anthony also smiled and said, "I think so, too." Many Cabocro people are not in a very good financial situation. Many of them moved into the cities, and many of them were relocated as a whole by a tribe. In order to be able to enjoy better medical conditions. But there are not many educated among them, and many of them do not have stable jobs when they enter the cities. The dividends of urban development rarely fall on them. Thirty thousand reais could give their tribe a good life. β
What he meant was that the Cabocros wanted to take the prize money, and it wasn't entirely out of greed.
Li Sheng thought for a moment and said, "Then it's okay to agree with him to participate." However, this is a special case. I'll ask Thomas to post a new message about the farm's organizational capacity that doesn't allow for more outside athletes for the time being. β
Anthony listened to him and felt that this was the best way to deal with it. The other party called to ask, and there was nothing wrong with disagreeing. But if we can grasp this matter, there is also a new hot spot in the publicity of the farm. If other Capoquero people also ask to participate in the games, they can also politely decline, but that will not affect the impression of the farm in Capocro's mind. On the contrary, because there will be their own people participating in this games, they will also pay more attention.
He smiled and said, "Then I'll just reply to that Sandru later." He said as he stood up and prepared to leave.
Li Sheng asked him to sit down and said, "Since there are foreign athletes participating, the organization should be stricter. He paused and said. Perhaps, in the future, we can expand the scope of this sports meeting. This time it's a bit of an accumulation of experience. β
Anthony didn't fully understand Li Sheng's thoughts. After all, it takes a lot of effort and money to hold such a sports meeting. He didn't think it would be a good idea to hold it every year.
He was about to persuade. But I heard Li Sheng say again.
"In the course of the competition, it is necessary to treat the participating Cabocro people equally. The rules of the football game are a little more rigorous. There can be no favoritism. β
Anthony saw that Li Sheng was serious, and it was not easy to say anything else, so he nodded and said, "I'll deal with it." β
"How's the organization doing? When can I start? β
Li Sheng felt that if it was just inside the farm, it would start when the farm was convenient, and if the weather was bad, there would be no problem with the pause. But now that outsiders are participating, it has to be more formal.
"The preparations went well, but we had planned to do it in a month's time. However, the specific weather will be taken into account. Anthony couldn't say exactly when.
Li Sheng also agreed with the previous plan, but now things have changed. He said, "Then try to make sure a time to come down." There are also sports fields on the farm, which are also cleaned up. Try to be as formal as possible. β
Silent Farm has two full-size soccer fields, several basketball courts, volleyball courts, and tennis courts. There's even a golf course. However, these are open-air sports venues, and they are not usually well maintained. In particular, the football field has farm workers playing football on weekdays, and the lawn is more damaged.
Anthony knew that. He thought for a moment and said, "The football stadium can be closed for a while. The other venues are not much of a problem, just clean them up. "To play football, you don't have to go to the football field, after all, the farm workers don't usually play regular games, as long as the field is big enough and flat enough. And there are a lot of places like that on the farm. Closing the football field will not make the workers complain too much.
Li Sheng nodded and said, "Then you can deal with it." In addition, the facilities for other competitions will be made as soon as possible, and tents and other things will also be prepared. By the way, how many farm workers are signing up now? β
"There were more than 100 people who signed up, but most of them signed up for team competitions, mainly football and basketball, and in fact, some young people signed up for both. There are also those who sign up for badminton and horseback riding. β
Anthony is finally gone.
Li Sheng lay on the office chair, thinking about the ceiling.
He also saw Anthony's puzzlement just now, but he didn't explain too much. Because he himself hasn't fully figured out the benefits of doing so.
He just did it intuitively, and it was good for the farm. At the very least, the Indians of the Amazon plains will have a good impression of Silent Farms. But he felt that this incident had opened the door for him to run a farm. It's just that he hasn't grasped the point yet. (To be continued.) )
