Chapter 258: Suspected Mad Cow Disease
After Li Cheng took Tang Long and others to the Bahamas, he inspected the situation of the purchased islands, and the ten people who had been selected were also familiar with the Tang Long brothers and sisters, of course, whether it was Tang Long's brothers and sisters or these ten people who were killed from the corpse mountain and blood sea, they needed to go through a period of investigation, at least a quarter, to check the profit and loss status of the islands, and the potential for development.
He is not a philanthropist, he spent a lot of money to buy these islands, if he can't make a profit, then he can't lose too much, if he is bound by these islands, Li Cheng would rather sell at a low price, but for the time being, Li Cheng's capital status is enough to support these industrial chains, but on the basis of no major situation in other industries, so the Bahamas can embark on a stable road as soon as possible, and there is no need to invest too much money, which is the key for Li Cheng to find some talents so hard, What he was worried about was that Tang Long would not be convincing, after all, neither Tang Long nor Tang Xiaoying had participated in the audition, and none of these ten people were glamorous on their resumes.
Of course, if he can't convince the public in terms of ability, Li Cheng naturally has to consider handing over this important task to others, and the development of this island is also a test for their brothers and sisters.
From Atlantis Airport, the main island of the Bahamas, I drove the Gulfstream G650 to the British Blencastar Ranch, intending to see the growth of Kobe's cattle, mainly because this batch of cattle was imported from the island country.
Because Li Cheng is not very confident about the quality of Kobe beef, he will often go to England. The purpose of coming to Europe is also to go to Germany to find Mars to catch up, by the way to visit the Mercedes-Benz company, drive a concept car, of course, this kind of concept car is not on the road and buy, just to see, if possible, it is not impossible to customize a top sports car.
When he arrived at the Bluncasta Ranch, Li Cheng got the bad news that according to the staff of the ranch, there were characteristics similar to mad cow disease in Kobe cattle. That is, abnormal behavior. Dysphoria.
This made Greg, Herbert, Winnie and others sit on pins and needles, and they want to tell Li Cheng immediately, mainly because they are afraid of being infected, mad cow disease is terrifying. It is more famous in the United Kingdom. It was also from the United Kingdom, a large cattle-raising country, that it spread to all parts of the world. So it's not surprising that mad cow disease can occur in the UK.
"Didn't you eat the vet and see it?" Li Cheng said a little strangely.
Herbert had the veterinarian come early in the morning to administer the vaccine, but because of the influence and fear of mad cow disease on humans, it was extremely strong. So Herbert explained what the effects of mad cow disease would be.
"The veterinarian said that it may be in the incubation period, and it remains to be seen whether it is mad cow disease, but because mad cow disease does not know how it is transmitted to humans, Greg and Winnie want to resign, and once the news leaks, in fact, the relevant departments in the UK have already known that these Kobe cattle will be slaughtered, and the procedures are more complicated, and they are likely to be out of stock!"
Herbert's explanation of the situation surprised Li Cheng very much, no wonder when he came, his expression was wrong, it was probably because he didn't know how to speak, and he left when the ranch was the most difficult, this irresponsible approach would be spurned, but for the sake of his own health, Greg and Winnie would still explain the situation before Li Cheng left.
Herbert is different, he gets along with Kobe cow day and night, and has developed feelings, and now what he has to do now is how to solve this incubation period of mad cow disease, it is likely to be a miscalculation, or it may be that it is really a latent mad cow virus, which has a 4-5 year observation period!
During this time, the relevant departments will supervise the quality of Kobe cattle throughout the process, and once there is an abnormality, then these Kobe cattle will be buried alive, and the millions of dollars and a series of expenses invested by Li Cheng will also be burned!
The fear of uncertainty in the aquaculture industry is that there will be many situations, and many large ranches are also bankrupt because of an inconspicuous move.
Although Li Cheng can withstand this economic blow at present, he is still unwilling, is he allowed the mad cow virus to lurk?
"Alright, Herbert, you can show me." Bluncasta Ranch, because it is an emerging ranch, so Li Cheng did not add Crystal Palace brand forage, and he didn't know much about the physical condition of Kobe cattle.
After walking around with Herbert, there were a few Kobe cows that were very abnormal, walking hobbly, like old cows, and a few of them were extremely irritable and attacking other Kobe cows, and Herbert had no choice but to separate these abnormal cows.
"There are no deaths, do they?"
"Yes, this is also the reason why the veterinarian said to observe, it is just that the vaccine is injected, but it is obviously impossible to cure the latent mad cow virus."
"Do you think you're really infected with the mad cow virus?"
"I think it's possible." Herbert explained the situation, that is, in the imported feed, he checked the relevant information, it seems that there are also pastures infected with the mad cow virus, I heard that this enterprise has recently closed down, and the feed they produce contains a kind of animal bone meal, which is likely to be transmitted by the bone meal of that animal.
"I'm sorry, boss, I shouldn't have bought this batch of feed without making a clear inquiry...... "The Kobe cattle herd is under Herbert's full management, and the procurement of feed is also closely related to Herbert, and now Bluncasta Ranch has just started, it has encountered the Waterloo crisis, and Herbert, as the person in charge, has to bear the main responsibility, and has betrayed Li Cheng's trust.
Li Cheng shook his head and said: "Many things are not what we can predict, and whether it is mad cow disease has not yet been determined, you don't have to worry." ”
Randomly, Li Cheng let Herbert return to the castle first, he walked around the bullpen alone, and when he saw that no one was here, he entered the crystal palace, brought a lot of dragon springs, and put them in the trough of the water that Kobe cattle eat, Li Cheng planned to observe here for a few days whether Longquan could cure the mad cow virus during the incubation period.
According to Herbert, there is indeed a danger of mad cow disease, which will not only cause Li Cheng to lose a lot of money, but this ranch will also fail, and the most important thing is that it will cause danger to the health of the employees of Brencasta Ranch, which is the reason why Li Cheng can't stand still, so trying to use Longquan may be the solution.
In October last year, a new mad cow disease crisis broke out in Europe. The EU has gone to great lengths to introduce a series of measures to try to eliminate people's "bovine phobia" and prevent the crisis from developing further. As the months go on, not only has the crisis not eased, but the EU cattle industry has been sinking deeper and deeper into the crisis, and consumers are even more afraid to care about beef. The EU Agriculture Ministers' Meeting recently concluded that the economic and social pressure on the EU from the BSE crisis has reached a "state of emergency".
This is the main danger of mad cow disease, to solve people's fear of mad cow disease, Li Cheng feels that even if the mad cow virus of this batch of Kobe cattle has been solved, it will still be difficult to go on the market, but for the time being, it is not Li Cheng who needs to worry about it now.
Let's take a look at the situation first, a few days later, the abnormal situation of Kobe cattle has completely improved, Li Cheng asked Herbert to call a professional and authoritative veterinarian and officials from the British agricultural department, and then let some media come over, and then Li Cheng personally slaughtered a Kobe cow, used this cow to make a whole beef feast, and ate it in front of the media.
And in terms of introducing Li Cheng's identity, he made a big fuss, Li Cheng, who has a medal, has dual nationality, an industry of hundreds of millions of euros, and owns several ranches, farms, private islands, private jets, yachts, etc., even he dares to eat, how can ordinary people not dare?
After all, in foreign countries, rich owners are people who are afraid of death, so they attach more importance to their own lives, and Li Cheng's approach has made the relevant departments not regard Bluncasta Ranch as an area affected by mad cow disease, which has solved some of the dilemmas of Kobe cattle when they are slaughtered.
Through the inspection of the authoritative department, this batch of Kobe cattle was confirmed to be free of mad cow disease, which not only reassured the employees, but also made some fame in the United Kingdom.
This is crucial, Li Cheng solved the crisis of the Bluncastar Ranch, so that the ranch officially entered the formalization, and gradually entered the field of vision of the upper class.
"Herbert, now there is no problem with Kobe cattle, but you can't be careless, in the future, the supply of forage for Kobe cattle, I will ship it from Canada, after all, the current feed production enterprises are dazzling, to distinguish the good from the bad, there is a certain skill, these forage are produced by ourselves, whether it is the source or the production link, there is no problem, you can use it with confidence."
Li Cheng instructed for a while, the feed is still to use their own production, for other enterprises, Li Cheng is still not very assured, after all, many businesses are thinking of making a fortune and running, even the United Kingdom, which has always had a high level of inspection, has many food safety hazards, which has to make Li Cheng pay attention, beef cattle eat toxic feed, and then people eat these beef cattle, this link down, in the end, the health of ordinary people is endangered, in order to avoid this crisis again, the source control is the most critical.
Li Cheng has always been extremely concerned about food safety, and this mad cow disease is just a small warning, which also makes Li Cheng pay more attention to this link and increases Li Cheng's awareness of coping with the crisis.
"I see, boss, I'll work hard." Herbert's hanging heart finally let go, because of the suspected mad cow disease, Herbert has endured a lot of pressure, these days I don't think about tea and dinner, I have lost a lot of weight, and the bags under my eyes are very heavy, obviously I haven't slept well for a while.
And for these employees, Li Cheng also touched his stomach, and unobtrusively exerted some dragon qi to avoid the previous latent mad cow disease being infected by them. (To be continued......)
