Chapter 39 Non-standard salesman

Li Sheng doesn't have many friends, but not none. When www.biquge.info he was studying in Lingang, he still made one or two friends. Among them, Chen Bo is a local.

Chen Bo's family background seems to be not small, and he went abroad to study, but he only went after graduating from university. Now he has returned to China.

He didn't plan to join the family business, but started his own business. However, his entrepreneurial path is not very high. Didn't go high-tech or anything, but opened an international trading company. It is said that he can do everything, but the business plate is not very big now, after all, he has only been back to China for less than a year and a half.

However, this guy is said to have a career in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada, and his business is getting bigger and bigger. Li Sheng's first target is China, and there is also a certain relationship with the business engaged in by this friend.

The relationship between Chen Bo and Li Sheng was not very good at the beginning, and there were even a lot of scandals because of the women's problem, but in the end, it was a fateful friendship. The specific process is that Chen Bo picked up a girl, accidentally soaked in something that shouldn't have been soaked, and was chased and cut in the middle of the night. Li Sheng happened to rush back to school from home, because of the traffic jam, he could only stay in a hotel outside, and he accidentally bumped into him when he went to have supper.

At that time, Li Sheng did not turn around and run, but first called the police, and then found a broken chair from the trash can in an alley and rushed up. He was stabbed twice before the police car came, and although it was not fatal, he still has a scar on his body.

The two were sent to the hospital, hospitalized together, and discharged almost at the same time, so the two became friends. According to Chen Bo's words: "Li Sheng is my life-saving benefactor. ”

Li Sheng never thought about it that way. He felt like he was just hot-headed. But if you ask him if he regrets it, he will think about it for a long time and tell you that since he didn't die, he can't regret it. If you die, you may regret it.

Later, Chen Bo was the only classmate he still kept in touch with from time to time after graduating from university. Before he left Huaxia, he also had frequent contact with Chen Bo. However, his ideas about relationships are a bit unrealistic and he doesn't want to trouble people. And this time he came back to find Chen Bo, mainly because it might be a matter of double benefit. Otherwise, he wouldn't have thought about bothering Chen Bo.

Chen Bo personally went to the airport to pick up the people, and he took Li Sheng directly to his home, and only went out to eat after settling down. At the dinner table, Chen Bo asked him how long he would stay this time and what he wanted to do.

Li Sheng said the purpose of his return, and bluntly said that he hoped that the other party could help him.

Hearing what he said, Chen Bo pursed his lips and said, "My company has never done agricultural business before. However, I still know a few people in the national grain. Tomorrow I will have someone change the business license. Try to get some quotas when the time comes. ”

Li Sheng knows that in foreign trade, especially in certain monopoly industries, no matter which country it is, it needs a relationship to succeed. As for grain imports, almost all countries have import quotas. If there is an import quota, the import tax is very low, and if there is no quota, the tax is considered low if it exceeds 100%. And if you are not a capable person, it is not easy to get a quota.

"With your words, I have the bottom in my heart. If the quota is not large, take the high-grade route, and if the quantity is large, it will be sold as ordinary grain. What do you think? ”

Although Chen Bo knew that Li Sheng went to Brazil to become a big landowner, they didn't ask much about the other party's career. He couldn't help but wonder: "Didn't you say that your farm is quite big?" What is the annual yield of this rice? What are the main varieties? ”

"It's a new variety of fragrant rice. The output is relatively large, and there must be hundreds of thousands of tons. ”

Hundreds of thousands of tons? It's still a new variety! Chen Boleng paused for a moment, and then asked, "GMO?" The output is so large, and the market is not good. ”

Li Sheng smiled bitterly and said, "It's me who wants to fork in." Too much at once. But it's a wild original species, absolutely not genetically modified, not even hybridized. I can provide a test report. ”

"How's it going?"

"The best rice I've ever had. In particular, when making rice milk, it is very delicate. The rice aroma is very strong. ”

"It's all the same breed?" Chen Bo asked with a frown.

Li Sheng nodded, took a sip of beer and said, "It's not an exaggeration to say that it may be the best quality rice in the world." Even organic. In the cultivation process, no chemical fertilizers and pesticides are used at all. ”

"Do you have a certificate?"

"I haven't applied for certification yet."

"You're stupid. Without proof, even if you don't grow it from seeds, it's still ordinary rice. "Chen Bo hated iron but not steel." Hurry up and get the people on the farm ready to apply. I've heard that the officials over there are even more corrupt, so it shouldn't be difficult to deal with them. ”

Li Sheng nodded and said, "I'll let someone do it when I go back." ”

"If you have that kind of certificate, I might be able to operate in Europe and the United States. Although the amount may not be large, if it is really as good as you say, it is good to take the high-end route. ”

Li Sheng thought for a moment and said, "Then take the high-end route." If I can't sell it, I won't run out of it. He paused, then added. You go to the bottom first, if you can do it, although the profit is not very large, but we can at least cooperate for a long time. Beef, coffee, wine, wheat and corn and the like. There are also nuts such as coffee, cocoa and Brazilian chestnuts. ”

Chen Bo's heart was moved. In the agricultural industry chain, the farmer's yield is the lowest and the most risky. Plantations take months to harvest, with a lot of money and manpower, and risks such as pests, diseases, and natural disasters. But they are only the producers of the entire industrial chain, the bottom, with the lowest profits and the greatest risks.

In the food chain of nature, the producer is the existence of the lower end and feeds the entire food chain. Therefore, farmers have the lowest voice in the entire industrial chain. The lowest yields are unavoidable.

But that's not to say that agriculture is really not profitable. The money is actually made in the circulation field.

And now what Chen Bo has to do is circulation, and this kind of transnational circulation, as long as the operation is good, the profit is the highest.

"No problem, but your farm is big enough to have more industries, especially the luxury market."

"The luxury market?" Li Sheng thought for a moment and asked. "Raising fur animals?"

"That's too controversial." Chen Bo didn't want to get his friend into such trouble. "I've heard that the Green Harmony organization is very strong in Brazil. Even if it's your own animal, they can find a reason to protest. ”

"And what do you mean?"

"Things like wine, foie gras, snails, etc., can also be tried to see if they can be made. Although there are few people who can afford to eat these things, they are all high-end ingredients, and the media likes to spread the information of these foods the most. If your farm can produce good quality ingredients, the farm's name will be famous, and everything else will have an amazing identity. ”

He paused and said, "This world is a world of faces. It's also a world of looking at bloodlines. You've got to get a good pedigree for your produce. ”

Li Sheng felt that Chen Bo's words seemed to be very extreme, but when he thought about it carefully, it was really like that. People have a petty bourgeois temperament and prefer to know information about materials that can make them more petty.

Many people are willing to learn the ins and outs of red wine, but not many people will look at the process of bulk wine production. In fact, they are just wine.

But those things don't just want to be cultivated. However, this also reminded Li Sheng that in fact, he could try to take out the things in the space and mess with them on the farm.

Li Sheng groaned and drank a small bowl of soup, and said with a smile: "Those things can be looked at and tried." But I'm afraid I won't be able to do it for the time being in the past two years. ”

"By the way, do you know a friend who does road and bridge engineering?"

"Do you have a project?"

"The farm needs to build some hardened roads. The length is about 240 kilometers. The road is two lanes wide, so you can walk two trucks side by side. Li Sheng thought for a moment and said. However, I have a request to complete one of the sections of about 50 or 60 kilometers as soon as possible by June next year. ”

"That's an exaggeration." Chen Bo said with a smile. "This highway is just the roadbed, and it may take half a year to build."

He's speaking from experience. Of course, it was not that he had built roads, but that he had seen the progress of building them.

However, Li Sheng has no choice, in his farm, the construction time will not be very long, if not hurry, the project will be stalled in the rainy season. If it takes a year or two to build a road, it's a bit too much of a drag.

"If you have a friend like that, help me ask." That's all he can say.

Chen Bo thought for a while and said, "I don't know my friends for the time being. But I'll help you ask. Maybe there are friends who know someone like that. But what more could you ask for? ”

"A regular company can't be subcontracted layer by layer. The construction period is as short as possible. The price is negotiable. ”

"Good. With more than 200 kilometers of highways, I think there will still be people interested. After all, in Brazil, there is not much investment in infrastructure. Some aspects may also be of interest. ”

Chen Bo thinks it is a good consideration for Li Sheng to hope that a domestic company will help him build a road. At least, if you want to import from his farm in the future, you can have this relationship, and there will be some convenience.
