silent farm

Chapter 175 Business is not just about doing business
Tia never cared about her hairstyle.Her hair is of very good quality, and she doesn’t need to dry it completely when she blows it. When it’s almost done, let it dry naturally and comb it with a comb. Either keep a straight hair or tie a ponytail, which is her most common hairstyle.So Li Sheng can also be her image designer.

However, Tia is not a quiet customer.She tilted her head back and asked, "How long will Yali live on the farm? Can I play with her?"

She didn't know that such a big move would make herself more alluring.Li Sheng blinked, glanced somewhere, and then looked into her eyes and said: "If she is free, you can play with her. But for the next two days, don't go."

"Why?" Tia didn't question, but was just curious.

"Let Bai spend more time with her." In fact, he didn't want Tia to see Yali's distressed look.Two days later, maybe Yali's face injury will be healed.

Tia's beautiful eyes widened, and she suddenly said, "Bai likes Yali?"

Li Sheng nodded with a smile and said, "Yes."

"Does Yali also like Bai?"

"Should have a good impression."

Tia returned her head to the normal position, and said with a smile, "Then I'll look for her in a few days." But she thought about it, and the gossip in her heart seemed a little unbearable, and said. "I'm going to call her tonight."

After returning from Rio, it still often rains, but there are more sunny days.Anthony felt that the sports meeting inside the farm that Li Sheng planned to hold before seemed to be able to be held.He also started the preparatory work, planning to hold the first Silent Farm Games after the construction of the cattle pen was completed.

However, he received a strange call, and the caller made a request that made him a little embarrassed.Finally he decided to talk to Li Sheng.

So he found Li Sheng in Li Sheng's office.

"Sandru Manuel?" Li Sheng felt a little impressed by the name.He recalled it, and soon he remembered who the other party was.He remembered that the other party was an Indian tour guide who once served as a tour guide for him and Tia in Manaus.

Anthony didn't expect that what Li Sheng was paying attention to was not what he said, but the person who called: "Do you know this person?"

Li Sheng smiled and nodded: "A few months ago, didn't I take Tia and Chaxi to Manaus to buy clothes? At that time, I hired a local tour guide with the same name. I just don't know if it's the same person."

When Anthony heard the reason, he smiled and said: "It should be the same person. He claimed to be from Manaus, he was a tour guide, and he also claimed to be Caboclo. I don't think there will be so many people who meet several conditions at the same time." Coincidence." He paused and asked again. "Then what do you mean? Agree or refuse?"

It turned out that Sandro Manuel had called Anthony because he had heard from the Cabotero Country Radio in Santarém that Silent Farm was going to hold a sports meeting.Participated by the surrounding Indian villages and farm workers, and there is a considerable amount of bonuses.

Maybe he had an idea about those bonuses, so he asked Anthony if the Silent Farm would accept Indians from other places.

Anthony believes that if he agrees, he can increase his name and reputation in the Amazon region.Don't think that the prestige of the Amazon plain doesn't matter much because of its small population.In fact, in this area, the proportion of Indians is quite large. Although many of them are at the bottom of society, if they can have a good impression of Silent Farm, it can also form a great support force for Silent Farm.

It's just that if they accept their registration, it will cause a lot of trouble for the organization of this event on the farm.At least in the settlement of these participants from other places, it is a troublesome matter that cannot be ignored.

Li Sheng considered the pros and cons of this matter for a while, and did not make a decision right away, but asked Anthony: "Do you know about that Caboclo country radio station?"

"Understand a little bit." Because the opponent is the Indian community with the widest distribution and relatively large number of people in the Amazon Plain, Anthony, who has Indian blood, is still more concerned.

"The Capoclo people, about 18 people, although they have integrated the colonial culture, they still preserve a lot of Indian cultural traditions, claiming to be the holders of the Indian culture of the Amazon Plain. They are widely distributed, and they are in San Francisco Tarun runs a rural radio station, mainly using their indigenous language to spread Amazon culture, introduce farming techniques, and also report news about Indians."

Li Sheng asked again: "What kind of nation are the Kapokoro people?"

"In fact, they are not necessarily the same people. Most of them are distributed on the banks of the main tributaries of the Amazon Basin. They were originally indigenous tribes of Indians, but later the colonists collectively referred to these tribes as Capoclo. That is a slur. It means people who want to get cheap and engage in swindling. But by now, they seem to be proud of this title. Of course, that doesn’t mean they like swindling.” Anthony explained.

"They usually make a living mainly by making Indian handicrafts, and some of them act as rainforest guides. They can take tourists deep into the flooded forest for 20 days during the flood period without getting lost. This kind of skill needs to be practiced for more than ten years. to do it."

Li Sheng smiled and said, "Although I don't know them well, I think they are quite qualified as tour guides." Sandru Manuel gave him a good impression at the beginning.

He paused, then smiled and said, "Is that Sandru going to participate in a football match? It seems that he is interested in the [-] reais bonus." He remembered the Sandru Manuel he met at the beginning The economic situation in Seoul is not much better.

Anthony also smiled and said: "I think so too. The economic situation of many Kaboclo people is not very good. Many of them have entered the city, and many of them were relocated by a tribe as a whole. In order to enjoy more Good medical conditions. But not many of them are educated, and many of them do not have stable jobs after entering the city. The dividends of urban development rarely fall on them. Thirty thousand reals can make them a tribe Have a good time."

What he meant was that the Kapokoro people wanted to get bonuses, not entirely because of greed.

Li Sheng thought for a while and said, "Then agree with him to participate. But this is a special case. I will let Thomas release a new news, saying that the farm's organizational capacity is temporarily unable to arrange more foreign athletes."

After hearing what he said, Anthony felt that this approach was the best.The other party made a special phone call to ask, and it's okay to disagree.But being able to grasp this matter has also created a new hotspot in the promotion of the farm.If other Kaboclo people also request to participate in the sports meeting, they can also decline, but that will not affect the impression of the farm in Kapoclo's heart.On the contrary, they will pay more attention because the sports will involve their kindred.

He smiled and said, "Then I'll reply to that Sandru later." He stood up and was about to leave.

Li Sheng asked him to sit down and said, "Since there are foreign athletes participating, the organization must be stricter." He paused and said. "Perhaps, we can expand the scope of this sports meeting in the future. This time it can be regarded as accumulating experience."

Anthony didn't fully understand Li Sheng's thoughts.After all, it takes a lot of energy and money to hold such a sports meeting.He didn't think holding it every year was a good idea.

He was about to persuade.But I heard Li Sheng say it again.

"During the game, the participating Kapokoro people should be treated equally. The rules of the football game should be stricter. There can be no favoritism."

Seeing Li Sheng's seriousness, Anthony couldn't say anything else, so he nodded and said, "I'll take care of it."

"How is the organization doing? When can we start?"

Li Sheng feels that if it is only inside the farm, it will start when the farm is convenient. If the weather is bad, it will not be a problem to stop.But now that there are outsiders participating, it needs to be more formal.

"The preparations are going well, but our original plan was to hold it a month later. But we will consider the specific weather." Anthony could not say the specific time.

Li Sheng also agreed with the previous plan, but now things have changed.He said: "Then try to set a time to come down. There is also the sports field on the farm, and we should also clean it up. Try to make it more formal."

Silent Farm has two standard football fields, several basketball courts, volleyball courts and tennis courts.There's even a golf course.However, these are open-air sports venues, and they are not usually taken care of.Especially the football field, where farm workers play football on weekdays, the lawn is seriously damaged.

Anthony is aware of these situations.He thought for a while and said: "We can temporarily close the football field for a while. There are no major problems in other fields, just clean it up." To play football, you don't have to go to the football field. After all, the workers on the farm are not usually To play a regular game, as long as the field is big enough and flat enough.And there are many places like that on the farm.The closure of the football field will not cause too many complaints from the workers.

Li Sheng nodded and said: "Then you can deal with it. In addition, the facilities for other competitions will be made as soon as possible, and the tents and the like should also be prepared. By the way, how many farm workers have signed up now?"

"More than 100 people signed up, but most of them signed up for team competitions, mainly football and basketball. In fact, some young people signed up for both. There were also badminton and horse riding."

Anthony finally left.

Li Sheng was lying on the office chair, thinking about things facing the ceiling.

He also saw Anthony's confusion just now, but he didn't explain too much.Because he himself has not fully figured out the benefits of doing so.

He just had a hunch that it would be of great benefit to the farm.At least it can make the Indians of the Amazon Plains have a good impression of Silent Farm.But he felt that this incident opened a door for him to run a farm.It's just that he hasn't grasped the point yet.
