silent farm

Chapter 184
Li Sheng and Chen Bo also left after the match between the Kapokoro people and the grazing workers.They talked about the selection of small players in the country.Soon the conversation turned to business.

Chen Bo told him about some sales matters, and finally told him some bad news: "A friend of Jipan told me that a company in their country has suddenly increased their investment in matsutake artificial cultivation. It seems that they have found suitable medium."

When Li Sheng heard this, he was also a little surprised.Matsutake is a golden baby for Silent Farm.At least [-] tons of second-grade and above-grade matsutake a year can bring him more than [-] million euros in benefits.He can benefit in that way because he has monopolized the global market for several months throughout the year.If a competitor emerges, price cuts are inevitable.

"What stage are they at?" If it's just started, then he still has at least five years of cushion.

Chen Bo shook his head and said, "I'm not sure. But Jipan people have been studying the artificial cultivation of matsutake for more than 20 years, and they have always focused on semi-artificial cultivation in public. This will suddenly create a medium, and I don't know how long it has been secretly researched , there is still a long way to go. We will be the market leader after a few years. And in terms of price competition, they may not be able to compare with yours.”

Although Chen Bo didn't know the production cost of matsutake in Silent Farm, he estimated that it would not be very high.At least they haven't heard that Li Sheng has invested in research in this area.

Li Sheng didn't deny it either, nodded and said, "I'm not afraid of a price war, but matsutake is one of my key products in the plan. Now it seems that the position of this key product is a bit unstable."

Chen Bo smiled and said, "Actually, there are quite a few things that are unique to your farm. Although matsutake is wild, Nanchao and chicken plate are actually semi-artificial, although they are said to be artificially cultivated. The area yield is very low. It is said that the annual output of one hectare of forest in the highest place is only 120 kilograms. Now you are the only one who can really produce artificially. There is also the white jade snail, which is still very popular in hotels. In addition, the farm produces Caviar is also recognized by the market now. At least the latter two types cannot be produced by others for the time being."

Of course Li Sheng is aware of this, but those two things may become the famous products of the farm in name, but they cannot reach that status in Li Sheng's heart.Because the benefits he can get are not enough.

He thought for a while and said, "Next year, I will increase the production of matsutake, can you increase sales?"

"That's definitely not a problem. The market for chicken dishes is actually quite large. And the domestic market has also been cultivated." Chen Bo said with a smile. "In fact, even if chicken plates are cultivated in the future, we can suppress them as much as possible in the domestic market. It is said that the domestic middle class has exceeded [-] million. Even if only [-]% of them are consumed, your output is still small. Not enough to see."

In fact, things like matsutake, snails and caviar are quite expensive, and people who eat them are all pretending.Those high-paying white-collar men will not be stingy with the meal money when they pick up girls and play with women.Not to mention those bosses and officials who invite dinner, expensive things are not on the table, can it be considered a treat?
Those people consume one meal a month, and Li Sheng's output is basically the same.

"By the way, Lao Fei and Ali didn't come here just to see the farm's construction."

"They are here for the pasture business. They plan to be soft and don't want to interfere with the farm's production in the future. Give me the initiative of cooperation. But I also agree to reduce the price of pasture by one hundred reais."

Chen Bo didn't push this matter to raise any objections. He also owns 16% of the shares, which has his advantages.It would be a bit hypocritical to object.

But knowing that Fernando intends to give in, he felt relieved.

In Brazil, he couldn't help Li Sheng much if he wanted to.If Fernando and Raimondo made trouble for the farm, he worried that Li Sheng might not be able to hold on.If Silent Farm is not in Li Sheng's hands, the market he has finally won may be completely lost.

He smiled and said, "It seems that he smelled something wrong." He thought it was because Li Sheng gave the honey directly to his agent, which made Fernando feel that Li Sheng was wary of them.As for why they gave in, he couldn't figure it out.And Li Sheng didn't seem to plan to say anything, and he didn't want to ask too many questions.

He added: "Luo Zi said that he plans to come over in a few days."

Li Sheng was a little strange: "Since he is coming, why didn't he come with you?"

"He hasn't finished his Mount Everest yet. Haha!" Chen Bo couldn't help laughing when he thought of the many good scenes he had seen.

Li Sheng didn't react for a while.

"That girl he's chasing. Your old neighbor."

Li Sheng also laughed, and said, "Since they said they were coming, there must be some clues."

"It should be able to talk, otherwise I wouldn't say that I can come here with you. But I don't know when he will come. Just let me say hello to you and prepare more delicious food."

Li Sheng smiled and said nothing.

The two chatted in the office for a while, Li Sheng saw that it was almost time, so he went to pick up Tia.

The school has started. Although Tia is no longer a teacher, she listened to Li Sheng's words and still went to school to recruit teachers to study.So as long as there are classes in school, she will go to school.Whenever he is free, he will pick her up and have dinner at the villa.

Seeing Li Sheng, Tia trotted over, grabbed his hand, and said to Chen Bo, "Chen Bo, hello!"

She was greeting Chen Bo in Chinese, Chen Bo was not surprised, he was already surprised yesterday.He really didn't expect that a person could learn to speak Chinese in a few months, and this person had not even received formal education before, which simply violated the principles of pedagogy.But the reality was right in front of him.

Li Sheng pulled her and said, "Let's go back to eat first."

After lunch, Li Sheng asked Tia to take a nap.Chen Bo watched the interaction between the two, with an unknown smile on his face.

After Tia went upstairs, Chen Bo whispered, "I'm not my sister now." He didn't dare to say it too loudly. Now Tia is not the girl who doesn't understand Chinese. It would be embarrassing to hear it.

Li Sheng smiled and did not deny it.He didn't see anything worth denying.Yes it is, no it is not.

Seeing that Li Sheng had acquiesced, Chen Bo laughed dumbly and said, "You have to wait for a few years. It's really pitiful." He also has countless girls, and of course it can be seen that Tia is still a girl.He knew that Li Sheng would never eat Tia at this time.If there is such a day, it must be after the other party becomes an adult.

Li Sheng didn't care about his teasing, and just said: "I plan to let her leave the farm for two years. Isn't Anthony going to Huaxia? I have plans to let her study in Huaxia for a few years."

"Study in Huaxia?" Chen Bo didn't understand why he was looking far away.To say how good Huaxia's education is, he can't speak out of his heart.If he wanted Tia to go to school, he didn't think China was much better than Brazil.

Li Sheng nodded and said, "Huaxia's education method is better for her. She learns things quickly, and Huaxia's education method is cramming, which is just right for her."

He actually thought about it for a long time.He did want Tia to go to school in Brazil before.But he also has a selfish intention, hoping that Tia will know more about Huaxia.Huaxia's education method is very stressful for most children, but he feels that it is nothing to Tia.

He has not tested Tia's intelligence level.But judging from her learning speed, it should be very high.Especially she can settle down to study.

He felt that Tia was too old to start receiving formal education, and the most important thing now was to learn the basics first.As for other skills, he can develop them slowly.

Moreover, he doesn't know many people in Brazil. In China, he has two friends, Chen Bo and Luo Zheng, who can help take care of her. With Anthony and Chaxi around, Tia will be less lonely.

In fact, the most important thing is that he feels that if it is in Brazil, Tia is still too close.He was afraid that he would do something too beastly.He almost lost control that night, he was really scared.

Chen Bo thought wrongly: "You kid can't really be playing with brides, are you?"

Li Sheng ignored his nonsense and said, "Do you want to take a nap? Either in the guest room here or in your villa last night."

Chen Bo didn't stay in Brazil for long, and left the farm two days later.

And at this time, the Silent Farm Games finally opened.Originally, Li Sheng didn't plan to hold any opening ceremony, but Anthony is going to Brancala in Huaxia soon, and he will also bring a photographer.This is the rhythm of reporting on this sports meeting.He had no choice but to temporarily add a simple ceremony, and said a few words appropriate to the occasion at the opening ceremony.Then it is announced that the sports meeting will officially start.

There are many competitions on this first day, including archery, horse racing, football and basketball.

The archery contestants are all bare-chested Ji Luoluo people with various patterns painted on their upper bodies.And this event is also the one with the largest number of participants in individual competitions, with participants ranging in age from fifteen to forty.

The venue for this event is provisionally prepared.That is to say, a white line was drawn on the grass, and the target was inserted 70 meters away.There is no preliminaries in this competition. All contestants shoot [-] arrows first, and the most winners will win.If after shooting, there are arrows with the same ring number, shoot another [-] arrows with the same ring number until the specific ranking is determined.

It is impossible for this sports meeting to have any stadium, any audience seats, and everyone is watching from a distance.Blanca seemed to have finished the interview and walked over to Li Sheng.Nor was she holding a tape recorder, smiling and saying, "Lee, I have to say, this is the most outlandish sports meet I've ever seen." Especially with the nearly naked athletes.

Li Sheng smiled and said, "This is just an ordinary peasant sports meeting."

"Peasant Games? This seems to be a new term. Oh, it seems to be hitting the bull's-eye!" Blanca happened to see an arrow shot by a No. [-] Gilolo archer hit the center of the bull's-eye.Although this is due to luck, it also requires strong luck.

Li Sheng also happened to see this arrow, and said with a smile, "There is a very reasonable saying in Huaxia."

"Oh, what is it?"

"The master is in the folk!"

Tia, who had been holding Li Sheng's hand, interjected at this moment: "Actually, Li is the best archer."
