Right in the office, Li Sheng listened "very seriously" to what Director Li was saying.

"Mr. Lee, our Republic of Korea is one of the most developed countries in Asia. Although we have a large amount of the best quality agricultural products, we regret that we cannot produce wheat because of climate problems. But our Republic of Korea [ The per capita consumption of flour in the Republic of China is more than 200 kilograms. The Republic of Korea needs to import more than [-] million tons of wheat every year. We think the wheat produced by Silent Farm is more suitable for the needs of our people. So we hope that you can get it from your farm Buy some wheat. Of course, we hope that the price can be more favorable. As far as we know, the grain price of Silent Farm is much higher than the price in the United States. This is not in line with market laws."

It is inevitable that Cob needs to import wheat.Although rice is the staple food in this palm-sized country, bread, noodles and cakes still consume a lot of wheat.But sadly, almost no grain of wheat is produced in this country.Therefore, at any time, the wheat self-sufficiency rate in Bangzi is infinitely close to 0%.

Recently, because of the X virus, the quality of wheat in major grain exporting countries is not good.If the quality of the wheat is a bit worse in previous years, they are more willing to accept it.Because only in this way, it will not impact their domestic agriculture.In order to keep the hair of those poor farmers in their country.

But now, the wheat infected by the virus will appear blackened, and the color of the ground flour will be wrong, and it will have a bitter taste.The United States and Australia, the main wheat importing countries for Bangzi in the past, were both hardest hit by the X virus.They had to find another seller.But they are not willing to pay high prices.

In fact, Bangzi would find him directly to buy wheat, and Chen Bo had mentioned this possibility to him.Li Sheng met Director Li this time only out of politeness, and also because Fernando was there.

But no matter what, it was impossible for Li Sheng to agree to the director's request.He said with a slight smile: "It's a great honor that the products of Silent Farm have been favored by Director Li. Unfortunately, the Asian agency rights of Silent Farm products have been handed over to our partners."

"Mr. Lee may not know much about us Korean [people], our people only trust their own companies."

Is this a threat?But Li Sheng didn't care about it, saying, "That's something our agents need to consider."

Director Li finally became a little impatient: "Mr. Li, you should think about it. Our [Republic of Korea] believes in the principle of keeping one's body and soil, and has always been picky about foreign food. This is very important for the wheat from your farm to enter our market. It might not be a good opportunity.”

Li Sheng is young, but he doesn't think Bangzi is qualified to teach him because he is old.According to what director Li said, if it wasn't through the other party, there would be no possibility for the grain from Silent Farm to enter the Bangzi Country market.

He believed it.Bangzi Country is famous all over the world for its conservatism in agriculture.Every year, very strict import quotas for agricultural products are set, just to prevent farmers in their country from protesting against the will of cutting the flag.Those quotas all fall on their state-run grain companies. If other companies want to import agricultural products beyond the quota, the grains seem to have to pay an import tax of more than 500%.

With such a high tax, I am afraid that no company is willing to import grain beyond the quota.If Director Li is rejected, it is normal that the food from Silent Farm cannot enter the Bangzi Country market.

Since he was doomed not to be a business partner, Li Sheng didn't intend to waste time with this self-important Mr. Director.

In fact, from the very beginning, he has been patient with this so-called director.

In this director Li's words, although on the surface it is something to praise Silent Farm.But inside and outside the words, the meaning is still that the things from Silent Farm are still slightly inferior to those made in Bangzi.It even almost stated that it is an honor for the products of Silent Farm to enter the Bangzi Country market.But Li Sheng knew that at least that country could not produce wheat.

By this time, Li Sheng could no longer be hypocritical with him.He asked the canteen to send two Chinese cabbages, and said to the director with a high self-esteem with a smile: "From Director Li's performance, I probably know that your country is also in short supply of Chinese cabbages, and there is not enough kimchi. My head is not sober. I will give you these two Chinese cabbages, pickle them into kimchi and eat them to make my head clearer."

Just like that, Li Sheng didn't even bother to save face, and sent the furious Director Li out of the office, not even going to the airport to see him off.

Seeing Li Sheng's still angry look, Fernando couldn't help laughing and said, "I really can't figure out why he thinks so highly of himself."

Li Sheng also laughed angrily, and said, "Just because they are the largest country in the universe!"

The whole world knows this old meme, and Fernando laughed even more when he thought of Director Li's performance and Li Sheng's response just now.

Because of his smile, Li Sheng's anger subsided a lot.

Fernando stopped laughing and said, "It seems that your friend is in trouble. Two of the three major countries in East Asia want to fight against him."

Li Sheng nodded and said, "Actually, there is no big problem with the chicken plate. The market will open up slowly. As for Bangziguo, it's fine if the market doesn't open up. Anyway, their imports are all dependent on their American godfather. .”

"Then you can give me more shares."

Li Sheng thought for a while and said, "You should think about ways to promote the market. I think the European market still has great potential."

If it was before, he might agree.But now, he was quite wary of Fernando.

Although some products of Silent Farm are luxury products, such as matsutake, truffles and caviar, there are also many things aimed at the ordinary middle-class market.But now the market has not yet fully gained a foothold.

Fernando said: "You need to raise more cattle on the farm. It is best to maintain an annual output of more than 20. Now the market has been hungry for marketing. If the output is sufficient, the share rate will be higher."

The number of cattle in Silent Farm is still relatively insufficient, and Li Sheng also gave up his plan to gradually expand the herd from his own farm, and is buying calves from foreign countries.But that also takes a lot of time.Of course, doing so would allow more cattle to be sold on the farm.

But talking about this matter can't solve the problem.He changed the subject and said, "By the way, in North America, I have a friend who opened a restaurant chain, and he plans to let me supply directly. Chen Bo agreed, what do you think?"

Fernando frowned and asked, "Does he also want to act as an agent?"

"No. It's just to purchase the required ingredients." Li Sheng intends to agree to let Mo Jingran pick up the goods directly from him, although it will destroy the original agreement between Chen Bo and Fernando.But now he feels he has to give it a try, farm direct.You can't let the sales channels be put in the hands of others.

"I have no objection." Although Fernando was a little unhappy, Fernando still wanted to give him such face.

After sending Fernando away, Li Sheng can finally live a normal life for a few days.

Everything on the farm is normal, except that the water level of the Mapuela River is a little low, making it impossible for the farm's wharf to dock if it exceeds [-] tons.This has a great impact on the external transportation of farm products.Fortunately, the dry season is coming to an end.

The dry season does not have much impact on the land of Silent Farm. Even if it is arable land, there is enough irrigation water, which is all obtained by Li Sheng from the lake in the space.

There are seven pieces of arable land on the farm, the southern area is a whole piece of more than 8 acres, and in the hilly area, there are six separate large pieces of arable land.These arable lands have a total of four points docking with the Great Lakes.The lake water in the space is left enough to irrigate these farmlands from these docking points.

Li Sheng can have a total of 48 docking points.It has not increased all the time, and it will not change in the future.There have been 36 used in those small lakes before, and [-] used on the cultivated land.The rest he kept for a rainy day.

The farm has other lands that have been developed, but those lands are not level and not suitable for irrigation with those docking points.

Li Sheng took some time to check the crops on those hills.In fact, Li Sheng is quite concerned about these crops, whether it is grapes or bamboo, as well as those paclitaxel shrubs, and even a small piece of tea forest.These things are very important in Li Sheng's plan.

Drought has affected this hilly area.The paclitaxel shrubs that had grown to a height of almost one meter were wilted by the sun, and Li Sheng was a little worried that they would not survive the dry season.He plucked a few leaves and rubbed them. They felt very tough and there was not much water in them.

Li Sheng looked at the tea forest not far away, and it was the same.He knew he had to find a way to solve this problem.Like bamboo forests and those fruit trees, because the root system is deeper, they will not be sunburned.But every year there is a dry season for half a year, he can't always expect the vitality of these plants and God.

It seems that he can only consider solving the problem from the perspective of replenishing water sources.Like building an irrigation system.

The irrigation system is very simple, water source, water pipeline, and finally, whether it is drip irrigation or sprinkler irrigation, it is all right.It's just that this project seems to be relatively large.If all the crop areas that need to be irrigated are at least 900 square kilometers.That's a lot of money.

But as it happened, he just had money and couldn't spend it.He wrote it down first.Because he found several sika deer foraging for food from the forest while the temperature was not too high in the morning.

In fact, he no longer has much hope for these protected animals.There are many plants in the tropical rainforest, but none of them are suitable for them to eat.Because it is poisonous.So they can only go to places outside the forest to forage.

After nearly a year, some of these sika deer are still alive and skinny, and several other animals have disappeared.He must have died in the rainforest.

It seems that if you want to breed these exotic animals, you need to build a special farm to raise them.At least for now, it is a bit difficult for him to cut antlers and sell them.But now there is still a large open space next to the taxol bushes, so it should be possible to grow these things.Just plant pasture, maybe these sika deer who are used to eating leaves are willing to eat it.

After he went back, he found Zhang Feng and asked people to go to that area to build a fence and some shade sheds.
