Chapter 405: Fortune and Misfortune (2)

"Wei Kun, you've become black!" Wei Wenrui used an exaggerated voice of joy to unleash a taunting skill on his uncle, who was tanned under the African sun. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Being so ridiculed by his niece, who was five or six years older than him, Wei Kun could only roll his eyes. In the sparsely populated Wei family, Wei Changrong's eldest daughter had led the little ones for a long time, and Wei Kun couldn't quite forget the fear of being dominated by this female devil. Of course, the current Wei Kun is no longer afraid of his niece Wei Wenrui, and Wei Kun has no intention of angering this guy.

After making a joke, Wei Wenrui immediately asked: "You said that you can increase the amount of grain sold to Europe, but you don't know what kind of grain it is." ”

"Don't you want to talk to me about a few common things?" Wei Kun was speechless about Wei Wenrui's actions. Since childhood, this 'elder' has been an egocentr, trying to make himself happy.

Wei Wenrui's eyebrows raised slightly, and he said in a puzzled tone: "You just sent a telegram with a dozen words written on it, and I rushed all the way from Amsterdam to Port Sudan." Doesn't that prove that I care about you? ”

As long as he encountered something to reason with Wei Wenrui, Wei Kun found that he had never won. Wei Wenrui can always tell what she thinks is the truth in a reasonable tone, and in the face of such a situation of both reasonable and unreasonable, Wei Kun always finds that his brain is not enough.

After more than ten seconds of brainstorming, Wei Kun felt that he had found a flaw. "You're here to talk to me about business."

"No, no, no!" Wei Wenrui immediately waved his hand vigorously, "It was you who told me in the telegram that you want to talk to me about business." And I feel that we are relatives by blood, so I came to you thousands of miles away. Do you think anyone who wants to talk to me about business will be obedient enough for me to come and join me? ”

Wei Kun's mind was a little confused by this statement, logically speaking, Wei Wenrui was right. But if you look at it from the point of view of direct feelings, if Wei Wenrui pulls a few words of homely things first, wouldn't it have clearly proved her attitude a long time ago.

"Rice." Wei Kun gave up thinking about the questions he didn't understand, and answered Wei Wenrui's question straightforwardly, "I have sent people to try to grow rice in the upper Nile basin, which is similar to the Mekong River basin in Annam. If it is done well, it will ripen at least twice a year, or even three times......"

Wei Wenrui has a beautiful goose egg face, and he is quite beautiful when he frowns. When she listened to Wei Kun, she showed the performance of a good listener. When she spoke, her tone was almost coldly calm, "The countries in Europe where rice is the staple food are concentrated in the Mediterranean and southern Europe. Paella is probably the pinnacle of rice consumption in Europe. I've been selling rice in the Nordics for years, but they don't seem to be interested in eating rice. It's good that you can grow rice, and I suggest you give it to the blacks. ”

Wei Kun was made uncomfortable by Wei Wenrui's cold evaluation, and he shouted, "Hey! Are Europeans all immortals who don't need to eat? Why don't you provide some products that Europeans need? ”

Seeing Wei Kun's anxious look, Wei Wenrui continued to reply in a clear and transparent voice like the moonlight of a frozen man: "Europeans have always needed the alfalfa and beef you produce here, and the sales of alfalfa nectar in Europe are also good. You can increase the yield of these products, especially alfalfa and alfalfa nectar. ”

"Why don't you mention beef again?" Wei Kun asked angrily.

Wei Wenrui sighed, and there was finally a disappointment in his tone, that is, there were a lot of normal emotions, "Wei Kun, you came from Nanjing, you are used to eating all kinds of meat, and you see the life of Nanjing." I feel that Europe is not much worse than Nanjing. I can tell you now that all Chinese families can afford meat, and it has nothing to do with the beef that European families can buy. At least half of European families live on food such as potatoes, and you might as well expect them to have the courage to rebel if they can afford to pay for meat. ”

"Europe is so poor?" Wei Kun disagreed. Although Wei Kun, like ordinary Chinese, is not afraid of European countries. However, Europe is the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution, and China has greatly changed the situation of the country through the Industrial Revolution, so that the people can finally have enough to eat. Wei Kun thinks that Europe, if not as rich as China, is at least not too far behind China. And Wei Wenrui's words punctured the soap bubble that Wei Kun came up with in his mind.

"You've been in Europe for so long, you can't scold me!" Wei Kun couldn't help but question Wei Wenrui's credit.

Wei Wenrui showed a contemptuous smile, "Hmph! There are so many people who have lived in Europe for a long time, you can't believe that I can go to someone else. Even the economic department buys reports on Europe from me, and it makes no sense to blame me if you don't read the basic information yourself. ”

"Is Europe that bad?" Wei Kun still couldn't help but soften his attitude.

"Europe is a little bigger, with a total population of 300 million. Many people still live on the Russian ice sheet. The Russians are called the gray cattle of the tsar, do you think the animals will have any purchasing power? I thought you had made a huge breakthrough in food, and I thought I admired you very much. I didn't expect you to want to talk to me about the rice business before you even grew rice. Let me tell you, Wei Kun, now because of the tariff issue, Germany is refusing a large amount of cheap grain from Eastern Europe outside the German border, even if you can produce cheap grain, the freight is plus, but I am afraid that it is not the opponent of Eastern European grain. I advise you not to think about so many evil things, and to carry forward the crops and agricultural products that you already have an advantage in. Wei Wenrui said the righteousness and strictness, but Wei Kun was speechless when he heard it.

Seeing Wei Kun bow his head and be silent, Wei Wenrui suddenly smiled, "Okay, these things are over." Let's cheer for home. How are your wife and children? ”

If the previous conversation was that Wei Kun was completely unable to refute it, in the face of Wei Wenrui's later words, Wei Kun only felt confused. has been like this since childhood, Wei Kun never knew what Wei Wenrui's mood was.
