Chapter 218 Worry and Expectation

Although Zhang Feng and Huang Bin were told not to let anyone know the specific condition of the cows in the No. [-] cattle pen, Li Sheng still couldn't be completely relieved.

After he left the cattle pen, he drove a helicopter to the security team and found Zhang Dingbian.Zhang Dingbian didn't have a separate office, so Li Sheng motioned him to come out with him.

The two walked slowly on the empty runway. Li Sheng saw that he was not afraid of someone eavesdropping, so he said, "Something happened on the farm. A cow in the No. [-] cattle pen is sick."

Zhang Dingbian knew that he hadn't finished speaking, so he just listened quietly and didn't say anything.

Li Sheng stood still, turned around and said to him, "I'm worried that someone outside will use this matter against the farm if they find out."

Zhang Dingbian frowned, and said, "Boss, are you worried that someone on the farm wants to inform outsiders?"

Li Sheng nodded and explained seriously: "I also hope that I am worrying too much. But I have to guard against it. If something like that really happens, on the surface, as long as the cow's disease is cured, the farm will not There is no loss, but don't forget the pissing nature of the media. In addition, if someone deliberately treats the entire farm's cattle as a whole, the farm's cattle may not be sold for a long time. I will lose just the liquidated damages Quite a few. Not to mention that the media can easily cause panic in the market.”

Zhang Dingbian finally understands why Li Sheng is so serious about monitoring the farm by himself. As Li Sheng said, if the outside media exaggerates the report on the condition of the cattle on the farm, people who used to like to eat beef from Silent Farm may give up because of worry. .

He understood the seriousness of the matter, and said no more: "I understand. I will arrange for someone to do it."

Li Sheng nodded, then turned around and walked back: "You don't need to let too many people know about this matter. Just monitor and see if anyone has unusual contact with people outside."

Zhang Dingbian walked side by side with him and said: "I understand that we will try our best to keep the workers from knowing. But I suggest that the farm should not approve too many people's leave recently. We will monitor the calls of the farm workers and some abnormal calls."

Li Sheng thought about it, and felt that monitoring is always a bit immoral, so he said: "In terms of monitoring, if you know from the beginning that you are talking to family members or friends, then don't continue to monitor."

Zhang Dingbian frowned a little, and said, "I understand. In fact, the farm has a total of more than 800 calls, and it is not difficult to monitor."

Li Sheng seemed not to have heard his words, and said: "The monitoring period starts today, and it will stop once the condition of the cow is over."

"clear."

Li Sheng has been worried about the condition of the cattle in the No. 130 cattle pen all this day.Call Huang Bin every two or three hours.Every time Huang Bin will give him the latest number of sick cattle.And the number of cattle that are sick is increasing every time.By the time he last called in the evening, more than [-] cows had fallen ill.However, Huang Bin said that the disease of the first five heads has been basically controlled, and the diarrhea is no longer there, but they are still under observation.And small-scale disinfection is also done relatively well.Li Sheng was relieved now.

While talking on the phone with Tia, Tia suddenly said that she was going to travel to the Southern Dynasties.

"Blanca and Anthony took Chahi to play and they asked me if I could go."

Looking at the anticipation on the little girl's screen, can Li Sheng still do it?And he didn't intend to restrict her movement, he just said: "Of course you can go. But don't buy the cosmetics over there, it's carcinogenic. Besides, you can't go out alone."

Tia cheered, and repeatedly agreed to Li Sheng's request.

After hanging up the phone, Li Sheng couldn't help laughing bitterly.It's hard work raising a little girl as a girlfriend.I want to be a boyfriend, but I also have to be a father.This double identity is a bit dirty.

The next day, he paid more attention to the situation of the No. 200 cattle pen.It was learned that there were more than [-] sick cows overnight.However, the cattle that fell ill yesterday have improved.This shows that although it is an infectious disease, it is at least treatable.

He hurried to the No. [-] bullpen and saw that Huang Bin's eyes were bloodshot when he was greeted. He knew that Huang Bin did not have a good rest last night.However, he can only advise this meeting: "Pay attention to your body."

Huang Bin frowned and said, "Thank you boss for your concern, but the situation of the cattle herd is not optimistic. If this trend continues, the number of sick cattle may increase by orders of magnitude."

Of course, Li Sheng also knew that if it was not necessarily the outbreak period of the disease, it might just be the beginning.

Huang Bin continued: "It's okay during the day, and we may find that there are cattle in the herd that are sick in time. But not at night. A large number of feces from sick cattle after the onset of the disease will be discovered the next day, which may have polluted a large number of cattle. grass. The number of infected cattle will only increase.”

Li Sheng pondered for a while and asked, "Do you still think it's better to thoroughly disinfect?"

Huang Bin nodded and said, "Actually, there are other methods of disinfection, such as pesticides. That can kill germs, but it won't harm pasture."

Li Sheng thought to himself, it would be strange if there was no harm.The spraying of pesticides here is equivalent to the spraying of the pasture in the entire pasture.But he couldn't say this clearly: "But what about the cattle? What do they eat after being sprayed? I'm afraid there is no pesticide that expires on the same day after use."

Huang Bin wants to say let the cattle go to the pasture outside to forage.But that could also cause the disease to spread outward.The risks are not small.He thought for a while and said: "I heard that there is a forest area on the southern edge, and there is also pasture in it. Can we drive the cattle there for free-range breeding?"

Li Sheng thought for a while and said, "Using pesticides is absolutely unacceptable. If the cattle are driven out, wouldn't it be more difficult to control if new cattle get sick?"

Huang Bin thought for a while, and said, "Then just use the most stupid way."

"any solution?"

"All the cows are given medicine to prevent infection. It's just that there are too many cows, and I don't know when they will all be fed."

Li Sheng was not very optimistic about this method either.That's definitely the dumbest way.A cow cannot hold its head down without drinking water.Not to mention letting the cattle take medicine.But he actually didn't know what to do. Even if he planned to agree to use pesticides, he needed to buy enough farms.The same goes for lime.

He thought for a while and said, "Drive the cattle to the woods by the river. Don't gather them together. The sick cattle should be isolated in time."

Huang Bin nodded and asked, "The pasture..."

"Report the epidemic. When you come back from buying lime, use lime to disinfect." Li Sheng was also very helpless in making such a decision.Perhaps doing so will kill the grass in the entire area of ​​pen five.But it's better than using pesticides and leaving the pasture on the whole farm with pesticide residues.

It's hard to say what Li Sheng's mood is now.Reporting the condition of the cattle and disinfecting themselves are all losses for Silent Farm.In particular, when the Star epidemic prevention department reports the epidemic, it is very likely that it will be used by interested people to attack the reputation of the farm cattle.But there is nothing he can do if he does not report.

As long as he buys lime, anyone can figure out what happened.Rather than being exposed by others, it is better to announce it yourself, which is more proactive.

Now the farm does not have a licensed veterinarian. Now that it has been notified, it can only ask an outside veterinarian to write a prescription, otherwise it will be illegal.If this matter is handled properly, perhaps the reputation of the farm will not be affected, at most it will lose some cattle and a piece of pasture.He can bear this loss.

Now his title as the world's richest man was brought to his head by pasture.Although he has actually only been investing now and has no income at all, it does not prevent pasture from becoming his biggest source of income in the end.

People outside are not right.

According to the real situation, as long as 1000 million cattle are fattened with forage grass in the quiet farm, they will consume at least 25 tons of dry pasture every day on average, and the cost of selling dry pasture on the farm will be about 180 reais.The tax is about 220 per ton.He earns five hundred reais per ton of pasture.That equates to an income of 12 billion reais per day.After a year, at least hundreds of billions of dollars.

Of course, that is a theoretical value, and the actual income will definitely be much less.Because it is not every day that 1000 million cattle will be fattened with the pasture of Silent Farm at the same time.But in any case, the profit will not be less.

If pasture's reputation is ruined because of fifty thousand cows, he has nowhere to cry.

After explaining this matter, he was so upset that he didn't stay on the spot to watch the workers drive the cattle, and flew directly back to the management area.He got Babur ready to buy lime.People in the Great Plains have to travel far to purchase lime.Babur can only find suppliers online.

Li Sheng returned to the villa listlessly.

According to the sales income of the farm, even if [-] cows are lost, he doesn't have to care too much.That's only one or two billion U.S. dollars.What's more, those cattle may not all be lost.

However, this is the biggest setback he has encountered since running the ranch. He has never been as powerless as he is now when someone plans to plan the farm.Facing the little bacteria, he had no choice but to take the risk of destroying a large pasture to solve the problem.

But when he returned to the villa, he saw that the two roses were already in full bloom.When it was transplanted before, it was still in the state of flower buds.When I left today, I had something on my mind, but I didn't pay attention to it. I didn't expect it to bloom in less than two days.

The colorful flowers really make people feel happy, but what makes Li Sheng happy is that these roses and mulberry trees really need the water from that stream to survive.Now that a way has been found, these two new things can come all the way to the farm.

The depressed mood was diluted a lot by good things, and Li Sheng was also in the mood to do other things.Now he took out the map of the cultivated land in the hilly area and considered how to use this land.

In fact, these lands are not particularly flat, not too far apart but not too close.But he was thinking of using all the land to transplant the new things he found near the creek.That kind of frog, he plans to see if it can be bred on the farm.He also plans to use a greenhouse to plant a large number of colorful roses.He even planned to occupy a lot of land for that kind of mulberry tree.

But there is only one stream.The water volume of that creek is not large, only about two cubic meters per second, and it is enough to irrigate [-] square kilometers of land.And even if the irrigation demand can be met, the flow direction of the stream must be carefully considered.

He wrote and drew, and calculated for a long time.A decision is made at the end.

Frog farming doesn't actually require much water.It doesn't take much to change the water in a pool even if it is changed every day.Roses can be irrigated with sprinklers and mulberries with drip irrigation.Tropical rain forests don’t have to worry about hail, and colorful roses can be grown in glass greenhouses.That can effectively prevent pests.

Each greenhouse uses steel pipes and plastic glass, and it is not a problem to cover an area of ​​one mu.To build 1 houses plus roads would require about 1 to 100 acres.Some frog ponds can also be built, but this can be done slowly.Reserve a thousand acres of land first.It should be enough to plant [-] million mu of mulberry trees.

As for the rest of the land, other cash crops can be planted, or food can continue to be planted.

However, if those three things are really implemented according to the plan, the farm may need to increase hundreds or even thousands of people to be busy.
