After leaving Farm of Silence, Fernando and Ali did not continue their stay in Brazil, but flew together directly from Manaus to Portugal. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Of course, Prince Ali has his own special plane, and in the living room of this luxurious private jet, Prince Ali is drinking coffee, while Fernando is drinking red wine. Although Ali was a devout believer and did not drink much, he was also a relatively open-minded person who did not believe that others had to follow the teachings of the Holy Religion in his mind. That's why he was able to make friends with many non-believers.

The two sat in the small living room of the special plane, and Fernando asked the stewardess in traditional Arabic dress to pour a little more red wine, and said while shaking: "How do you feel when you see Li this time?" ”

Ali smiled and said, "I think he would be a good friend." A person who is not very good at business will usually not be a cunning person. And I also felt his sincerity towards people. Sincere people can be friends. ”

Fernando, with a smile, said: "There are many sincere people in the world. ”

Ali said seriously: "Friends also need to see if the magnetic field is matched. ”

"Haha, I almost thought you were talking about marriage."

Ali smiled and raised his hand to beckon the flight attendant to replace the cold coffee. He took a sip and said, "I'm actually interested in his pastures. ”

"What do you mean?" Fernando was a little puzzled. Ali was a man who treated his friends as he said he was, sincerely. What did he mean by that, wanting the grass of the Silent Farm? Whether it's overt or secret, it's not like his style of doing things.

Ali didn't really have much of an idea, he just wanted to do a business: "I heard you talk about the forage business that day, and I asked people to do some research. ”

"And then?"

"I was quite surprised by the results of the survey. The average cost of feed for an additional pound of weight in the Brazilian cattle industry is about four reais, if what Li Sheng says is true. According to the price at which he sells the forage, the cattle on Silent Farm will cost only two and three reais for every pound gained. In addition, the daily weight gain rate of cattle on Silent Farm is three to five percentage points higher than that of cattle from other pastures. ”

Fernando's shaking of the glass stopped suddenly. What does the data Ali mean by that?

The cattle at Silent Farm eat only pasture and have excellent meat quality. If other farms use all of this forage, regardless of whether the meat quality will be the same as that of the cattle in Silent Farm, as long as the weight gain rate can be similar to that of compound feed, the cost of feed alone will make those cattle farms willing to pay for forage.

If the grass has a positive effect on the quality of beef, the growth rate can also increase. Maybe all cattle farms are going crazy about it.

And how many cattle are there in Brazil? It is said to be 200 million stocks.

That's an immeasurable market.

After a long time, he shook the glass again and said, "So his pasture business is at a loss." ”

Ali smiled and said, "Originally, I wanted to offer to use the company we were going to set up to sell his pasture. However, it seems that he has another purpose, and he does not plan to sell large quantities of forage for the time being. It's also not convenient for me to bring it up. ”

Fernando's eyes flashed with a twinkle and he said to him with a smile: "You still care about this business?" ”

"The oil will run out one day. Even if it is extracted forever, oil will one day be replaced by other energy sources. Forage, on the other hand, is a product that is always needed, and it is truly inexhaustible. Ali smiled and shook his head. He was indeed born spitting oil, but that doesn't mean he can only stare at it.

Oil will be useless one day, and it may not be long. And as long as people need food, grass will always need it. A short-term business and a long-term business, he is more optimistic about the latter.

And if the grass on Silent Farm is really as good as he thought, the business will not benefit less than what he gets from oil.

Even if it only captures 10% of the Brazilian market, it can sell 1.6 million tons of fresh forage in a day. According to optimistic estimates, the price of forage will not be countered when it is sold to the market for 250 reais per ton. A day is a business of hundreds of millions of reais. Even if he could only make ten percent of the profit from it, it would be nearly ten million dollars.

Even if you are conservative in your estimates, half of them are always there.

Unfortunately for him, now these can only be imagined.

………………

On this day, the sun was shining. Li Sheng fiddled with a few flower pots, which contained soil, and two small twigs on one side.

Tia was also helping out, loosening the soil in the pots.

At this time, Li Sheng cut off most of the leaves of the branches and cut them into wedges near the roots. He was going to do an experiment.

The branches are the kind of shrubs that contain paclitaxel, which are made out of space. The seeds planted on the farm had sprouted, and he wanted to see if the shrub could be vegetatively propagated.

If he could, he would need to put some guards on the bush later. If not, then there is no need to worry about someone breaking the branches, as long as the seeds are prevented from escaping.

But he was still curious about one phenomenon. Why does the same shrub produce two fruits of different colors? Although the paclitaxel content in the juice is not low, it is much less than that of the other fruit, only about one-tenth.

What if all the fruit was purple? Then he doesn't need to worry about the seeds getting out.

Two branches, one soaked in the water of the space lake, and one that has not undergone any treatment. Inserted on four different media.

The two then moved these pots under the eaves. There will be some sun in the morning in this place, but it won't be for long. Just suitable.

Tia sat quietly on the couch across from her reading a book. He was drinking tea when his cell phone rang.

It was Zhang Feng who called. If there is no problem, he rarely takes the initiative to call Li Sheng.

"Lao Zhang, what's the matter?"

"Boss, the algae you planted before is now all over those lakes. The sun is better these days, and the algae are growing fast, and the boats we arranged for us have not had time to harvest them. Is it better to buy more boats and come back? ”

The freshwater kelp was planted just before the rainy season. Later, perhaps because of the weather, the growth of those algae was not as fierce as Li Sheng saw in the space. I thought it wasn't used to the bottom of the lake. He hadn't paid much attention to it. However, I heard Lao Zhang mention that he had already sent someone to harvest. But the yield is not very high.

And that's been less than two weeks. What Lao Zhang said has completely changed. It was said that it was not enough for the ship to harvest.

He was a little puzzled and asked, "Aren't there boats in other small lakes?" It's all dragged on. ”

"It's all dragged on. Still not enough. Workers say the algae will come to the surface in less than two days after being cut. And it's so dense that the propeller can easily get stuck. ”

"Growing so fast?" Li Sheng didn't expect it to be like that. "You think about it first. I'll go over it. ”

He said and stood up.

Tia also stood up: "You want to go out?" ”

These days, she doesn't study in front of the TV every day, because the daytime TV broadcasts are no longer suitable for her. She now mainly reads books, or watches more advanced lessons on TV in the evenings.

Li Sheng nodded and said, "There is a little problem in the south. I'll take a look. Are you going too? He didn't want her to always hold a book like that, and he wanted her to go out and around more.

Tia rolled her eyes and shook her head: "I'll stay at home and read." ”

Li Sheng had no choice but to let her go, but he still advised: "If you want to go out, talk to the people outside." "Since the increase in the number of members of the security team, the villa has a dedicated guard. And there are five, and to put it bluntly, each group takes turns. Babur has also installed a surveillance system around the area, and it is basically safe to stay in the villa. But you can't be sure when you get outside.

He said hello to the head of the guard group when he went out before driving out of the villa. The road was smooth, but it still took him more than half an hour to reach the living management area on the plains.

Zhang Feng was already waiting for him outside the office. When he saw his car, he greeted him and said, "Boss, now we have no other way." The only way to do this is to arrange people on the shore as much as possible to see how much is fished. ”

Li Sheng didn't get out of the car, but let Zhang Feng get into the car. After Zhang Feng got into the car, he said while driving: "Those algae must be fished up, otherwise they will rot after a few days of being exposed to the sun." By then, the whole lake would be in ruins. ”

Algae is a good thing. But too much doesn't work. Too much algae, respiration at night consumes a lot of oxygen. Algae, on the other hand, can only breathe dissolved oxygen in water, and in air, they are not so capable of breathing.

Because of this, if they remain out of the water for too long, they will die due to lack of oxygen. When the algae die, they decompose and consume more oxygen, at which point the entire lake becomes a dead lake.

Although he originally planned to use those lakes to grow algae, he didn't care about the fish inside. However, the algae grown in those lakes was the main raw material for making green manure in the future. If they don't succeed, they will have to learn the lesson and have to do it all over again. But now they must know exactly why the algae are suddenly bursting out.

The lakes are the ones farthest from the management area. It takes a lot of time to drive there. Li Sheng felt that he would need a special helicopter in the future. Otherwise, if you want to walk around the farm, you will have to drive a long way.

At the lake, Li Sheng and Zhang Feng looked at the mountains of freshwater giant algae, which ten trucks could not cope with non-stop transportation. Both of them were a bit of a struggle.

These algae are an important part of farm production, and if not handled well, many plans need to be reformulated. And judging from the current situation, this problem is not easy to solve.

The area of the lake is not small, there are 20,000 or 30,000 acres. Workers can pull some along the shore of the lake. In deeper waters, all boats are required. And these algae are very heavy, and a small boat can only drag them back, but the algae have a lot of resistance in the water, and they can't drag much at a time.

Li Sheng is also reflecting on himself. I didn't think about the depth of the lake before, and the enclosed water like a small lake is completely different from the environment of a large lake.

Large lakes can form a balanced ecosystem, while small lakes on farms do not have such a foundation. Once algae erupt, ecosystems collapse. It would be nice to say that manpower could change, but now manpower obviously can't stop it.

Zhang Feng looked at a small boat that had just returned to the shore, and behind it was dragging a bundle of floating giant algae, which was more than twenty meters long, weighing at least five or six tons. But what grows with the small lake is just a drop in the ocean.

He saw that Li Sheng was also frowning, so he explained: "The resistance of algae in the water is very great, and it can only drag so much. There are ten small boats in this small lake. About 500 tons can be harvested in an hour. ”

"So much?" Li Sheng didn't think too little, but felt that it was too much. He just intended to use it to make green manure for the farm's own use, and he didn't need that much kelp at all. There are a lot of them, and he still doesn't want to occupy space.
