silent farm

Chapter 265 Ali's Abacus (Second Protection)

Li Sheng asked workers to collect bamboo fungus mainly because he didn't know if anyone wanted bamboo shoots yet.If no one wants it, the cost is wasted.The key point is that these bamboo shoots cannot be dug without digging, otherwise it will affect the output and quality of bamboo rice.Now there are so many bamboo fungus in the bamboo forest, if you can collect some and sell them, maybe you can get a little bit of cost.

He also showed Cheng Dong that the workers on the farm did not know how to make dried bamboo fungus.Either sun-dried or tumble-dried.

Then he left the bamboo forest.He also wanted to look for rubies in the space before Ali came.See if you can find what you need.

A ruby ​​of fifty carats is about ten grams, but that is almost four cubic centimeters, which is already very large for a ruby.

Although Ali talked about getting ready while he was still on the plane, he didn't actually arrive at the farm until the next day.He is still the 737.When the plane landed at the large airport of the farm, seven or eight people got off the plane, but these people were basically Ali's entourage.This time, he seemed to be a bit more public when he went out. He didn't even bring an assistant when he came here before.

However, Li Sheng still took him back to the villa, and specially arranged for Ali to live in the one he liked.If the people he brought couldn't fit in, they arranged it in another house next door.

After arranging the accommodation, Ali invited Li Sheng to have lunch—he even brought the chef.

After lunch, Ali didn't plan to take a rest, probably because he had slept enough on the plane.The weather is fine today, and he proposes to go for a walk.Li Sheng has nothing to do.

This walk, the best place, of course, is the golf course.The lawns there are the best managed on the entire farm.When they arrived, they came to the stadium slowly in an all-terrain vehicle.Ali suggested playing golf again.

Li Sheng also did not object to this.

They played golf and didn't take it too seriously.He scored four shots on the first hole, which is just the beginning level.But neither of them cared.

The main purpose of Ali's visit this time is to implement the sale of pasture.In fact, he built a cattle farm in the Middle East with the intention of poaching the corner of the livestock company they cooperated with.The slaughter of recovered cattle is also within the scope of their cooperation.Ali's role in the cooperation should be to push the beef to the Middle East market.And now he raises his own cattle.

But Li Sheng and the others showed no dissatisfaction.

The market in the entire Middle East is still quite large. As long as Ali really follows what he said before and only breeds a maximum of [-] head of cattle, then he can only sell a maximum of [-] head of cattle a year.One hundred thousand cattle is obviously unable to meet the needs of the entire Middle East.Of course, one of the two most populous countries in the Middle East cannot afford beef, and one does not need beef from other countries.

But at least it still needs to be affordable for about 2000 million people.Of course, [-] cattle cannot satisfy this market.But Ali himself can't take it for granted, so even though he only needs to call Li Sheng to mention it this time, he will not deny him the forage.But he felt that it would be more sincere to come here in person.

Of course, he has another purpose.He really wanted the ruby.

In addition, he also saw a market for representing Silent Farm products.Among other things, he felt that he had an advantage over Chen Bo and Fernando in the **** world.And the market is actually not small.A part of countries in Africa, the whole of the Middle East and the whole of Central Asia.There are hundreds of millions of people.Of course, he may not be able to enter some countries.But this is a long-term business, and he doesn't feel that it is an unprofitable business now.

When he brought up this matter, Li Sheng was also a little embarrassed.Now the farm's items are basically handed over to Fernando and Chen Bo.In fact, Fernando and Ali were regarded as one side before.But now Ali wants to divide an independent market by himself.This made him a little difficult.

He asked tactfully: "You and Fernando have divided the market area before, can he agree now? You know, I don't want to have differences between the few of us due to poor communication."

Ali nodded and said, "I discussed it with him. He has never been able to operate alone in the Middle East. He is also willing to hand over this area to me."

Hearing what he said, Li Sheng knew that there was an agreement between him and Fernando.Even Ali lost part of his interests.

Now that the two of them have already discussed it, of course Li Sheng will not be this villain.He nodded and said, "If that's the case, of course I have no problem here."

"That's a happy cooperation." Ali smiled and opened his hands for an Arabic hug.

"Our cooperation is very pleasant!" Li Sheng hugged him and said.

After the two let go, Ali smiled and said, "Do you have the ruby ​​that I talked about yesterday?"

Li Sheng did find several relatively large rough rubies.Now he nodded and said: "It's ready. The size should meet your requirements, but I don't know if it can satisfy you in terms of appearance."

"There is an advertisement in the European agricultural product market that products from Silent Farm must be high-quality goods. I think gemstones are no exception."

"By the way, I wish there was a list of Silent Farm produce. You know, there are some things you don't need in the Arab world," Ali laughs.

Li Sheng nodded and said, "I will prepare it for you."

Their game ended without a problem, because after Ali played two holes, he asked to go back.Perhaps he was anxious to see the gems.

They drove faster on the way back.

There happened to be a tractor carrying bamboo fungus on the road.Before passing it, Ali twitched his nose a few times, smelling the scent of bamboo shoots on the road, and asked, "What's in this car?"

"A fungal mushroom. It grows in bamboo forests, called bamboo fungus. Wild bamboo fungus is regarded as a game treasure in China."

"Chinese cuisine? I've seen a documentary, it's really amazing. Some simple ingredients can turn into all kinds of exquisite delicacies in the end."

Li Sheng smiled.

"Are you planning to sell this kind of bamboo fungus?"

"Huaxia has a big market, and I plan to sell to Huaxia."

"I think there is a market in Europe and the Middle East. It has a very nice aroma, and I think it must be delicious when made into food."

Li Sheng smiled and said, "If you're interested, you can take some back for a test sale. But it's wild, so it can only be seasonal. It's the first time I found it on the farm, and I don't know how long the growing season is. "

"That's a good idea."

He even suspected that if it wasn't because of the need to clean up the bamboo shoots this time, when would he have discovered that so many bamboo shoots could grow in this rainy day.

He checked on the Internet last night, and it turned out that the bamboo fungus needs dead bamboo or enough bamboo leaves to grow, and the bamboo fungus is very sensitive to light.If the light is slightly stronger, it will affect the growth rate of mycelium and the development of fruiting bodies.Therefore, the bamboo fungus on the farm must not be good before the dense bamboo forest.

But he also didn't understand why there were so many.The density of bamboo fungus in the bamboo forest is probably almost the same as that of artificially cultivated ones.It is impossible to have such a large density in the wild.

They returned to Li Sheng's villa.Li Sheng asked Ali to wait for a while, he went to the room, and then quickly came out with a football-sized cloth bag.

He opened the bag and poured out the contents.

All that came out was rough ruby ​​with a little volcanic rock.The total amount of this pile is at least four or five kilograms.Even though Ali was used to seeing the market, he couldn't help but admire Li Sheng's arrogance: "So many are you selling to me?"

Li Sheng nodded and said, "If you need it, I can sell it all to you." He actually brought out quite a few this time, so that Ali and Luo Zheng would have to search in the space again next time.

"Of course I need it. Even if the jewelry company doesn't need so many, I can collect it myself." The primary color of these rubies is very positive, they are definitely pigeon's blood red, and each one is at least as big as a finger.Rubies of this quality are hard to come by.

He found the largest one, a little bigger than his thumb.Needless to say, this is more than enough to meet the fifty carat requirement.

"What's the price?"

"Follow the market price." Li Sheng didn't bother to check the price.And he believes that Ali will not let him suffer in this regard.The previous gold transaction and more than US$100 billion in lending were enough to build trust between them.

Ali was not polite either, and nodded and said, "Okay, I will give you an answer after I go back and let the experts evaluate it."

He put down the biggest one, looked at Li Sheng seriously and said, "I heard from Luo that he also bought a lot of rubies from you last time. Will you still be able to supply them here in the future?"

Li Sheng pondered for a moment, then said, "Yes."

"I hope that you can supply us for a long time in the future. Of course, it is not exclusive." Ali said seriously. "I don't know about other gemstones. Do you have a way to get them? Such as diamonds, sapphires, etc."

Li Sheng shook his head and said, "Not yet. But there is no problem with the long-term supply of rubies." It is impossible for him to dig diamonds. There may be secondary mines, but even if there are secondary mines, those things are hard to find.As for sapphire, it also depends on the opportunity.If other volcanoes can be found, perhaps they can be found as well.It's just that unless it is very concentrated, he is also too lazy to find it.

Ali was not disappointed when he heard him say that.He carefully put the rubies on the table back into the bag and said, "You haven't been to Dubai, have you?"

There was a time when Dubai was very prominent in the world.At that time it was a rising city in the desert.It's just that after the city encountered a worldwide economic crisis, several projects were unfinished.Almost bankrupted the entire country.

But the city has survived, backed by Abu Dhabi's oil wealth.But the real estate there is not as popular as expected.It is said that most of the people who bought the real estate there abandoned their luxury cars and sports cars near the airport, letting the dust drown them.Because they discovered that it wasn't that good there.

"I think you Chinese people like to travel to Dubai. Although Abu Dhabi is more beautiful and luxurious."

Li Sheng smiled and said, "Perhaps most Chinese people are ordinary people. Dubai's services are more attractive to ordinary people, while Abu Dhabi prefers to receive rich people."

Ali was stunned again, and said with a smile: "It turns out that's the case. I thought you Chinese people prefer Dubai. In that case, Abu Dhabi is more suitable for you."

"At least not as good as you. If we go to Abu Dhabi together, maybe no matter how much I pay, I can only live in the palace suite of the Palace Hotel, but you can live in the presidential suite."
