silent farm

Chapter 286 'Goodness' is rewarded with goodness (Baoer [-])
From the second day of the Lunar New Year, the farm returned to normal work.

Li Sheng didn't really celebrate the New Year either, the farm started working, and he also started to get busy.The planning team in Siparu Town did not return to China, but stayed on the farm, and they also started working again on the second day of the Chinese New Year.

Perhaps because of the new year and the new weather, Li Sheng finally collected relatively complete life history data of the insect-based parent moth of Cordyceps sinensis from space.

This means that Silent Farm is trying to cultivate Cordyceps artificially.

Chen Bo asked someone to help him find an insect-raising technician who was also attracted by the treatment of Silent Farm, and would come to work on the farm after the Lantern Festival.

Although the work after the year was a bit hectic, everything seemed to be going well.

Babur and Almerín's engineering activities for a new dock for Silent Farm.Because a new river channel needs to be excavated, in order to avoid trouble, Li Sheng decided to complete the formalities before starting the construction.

Because Babur is out, the work in his hands can only be handed over to Thomas.Suddenly, Thomas was temporarily in charge of the entire farm's affairs other than security, and he was overwhelmed at once, so he came to Li Sheng to complain: "Li, the farm has a lot of business now, I think the division of labor needs to be more detailed. Just a few."

Li Sheng also knew that Silent Farm is no different from a big company now.There are very few people in charge of the business, and there is no deputy. Once the person in charge has something to do, the work on the farm may fall into chaos.Moreover, the division of labor between these few responsible persons is indeed still relatively general.Even if they let them manage, they need to be equipped with some assistants.

He nodded and said, "I know. If you persist for a few more days, when Zhang Feng and Babur come back, you will start training some middle-level managers. Then you won't have to work so hard."

Thomas now knew that Li Sheng didn't plan to find someone from outside.Although he didn't quite agree with it, he understood Li Sheng's thoughts very well.He nodded and said, "Also, the farm needs a full-time accountant. You know, there are too many accounts. And there will definitely be more in the future."

The farm has never hired a professional accountant. The accounts are all done by Thomas, and then sent to a professional accounting firm to redo, and then to file taxes.

It can be said that the farm does not have the ability to make false accounts, what is there is that Li Sheng has increased the cost of some things.But it can't continue like this in the future.Li Sheng plans to build an industrial zone, so he needs an accountant who is familiar with tax laws.But he doesn't want outsiders to interfere with the internal accounting of the farm.

He said: "You are still responsible for the accounts of the farm sales. If you are too busy, you can find an assistant to do this work for you. As for other accounts, I will find someone else to do it."

Thomas nodded, "Okay."

Li Sheng thought of one thing: "In a few days from Huaxia, 23 students from the football school and some teachers will come to the farm. I don't know if Zhang can come back by then. You and the football school will prepare."

"I got it."

He paused and said, "Today I received a call from the Pakistani ambassador to Brazil, asking about the possibility of buying farm beef."

Li Sheng was taken aback, Ba Guo hadn't appeared in his mind for a long time."How did you reply?" he asked.

"I replied that I need to ask your opinion first. But he said that he didn't want to buy the cattle raised on the farm, because the price is too expensive. They want to buy the beef that is fattened with pasture on our farm. And he also said that their domestic imports The merchant is going to visit the farm. Ask when you will be available."

Li Sheng thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Interesting! You call the ambassador back and say that I'm free within a week."

Thomas smiled and nodded, "Okay. I think he's kind of us donating food before reciprocating."

Li Sheng nodded, but did not speak.Thomas left after finishing his speech.

Li Sheng also had the same idea as Thomas, and felt that Ba Guo was repaying him.More than two years ago, he donated more than 20 tons of grain to Pakistan.This should be regarded as a timely assistance.

Pakistan is now planning to import beef from the Amazon Animal Husbandry Company, so it stands to reason that there is no need to greet him.But their ambassador specifically called to ask his opinion.This is to leave a name for a good deed, and to let him know that this is a favor.

Li Sheng always welcomes goodwill.Li Sheng has always liked people who know how to repay their kindness.Although he never thought that he could get anything from Ba Guo, the other party expressed in this way that they never forgot his original kindness.This made him quite appreciative.He had to say something in his heart, he really deserved to be Ba Tie!
In other words, there are indeed no permanent friends between countries, only permanent interests.But the country of Pakistan has been able to maintain a half century of friendship with China, and it can even be said to be an alliance.This is absolutely rare in modern times.Maybe the two countries have also had differences because of some things, but the relationship is generally very good.At least Batie is not the country that receives the most favor from China, but it is far more friendly to China than those white-eyed wolf countries.In his eyes, Pakistan is China's best neighbor and friend at present.

Of course, he does not intend to get involved in the politics of the two countries.He just wants to do business.Hope Pakistan just wants to do business with him too.

Half an hour after Thomas left, he called Li Sheng and said, "The beef importer from Pakistan plans to visit you at ten o'clock tomorrow morning."

Without even thinking about it, Li Sheng said, "You will reply to him, I welcome their arrival."

The next morning, a business plane flew over to Silent Farm and landed at the airport.Li Sheng walked up quickly to greet the guests who got off the plane.The person who came was a beef buyer from Pakistan.After introducing each other, Li Sheng learned that they came from three major agricultural foreign trade companies in Pakistan.

Li Sheng expressed his welcome, and finally said apologetically when he led them into the car: "Our farm has not purchased a special welcome car, please don't be surprised."

This time he drove a pickup to pick up the guests.At this moment, he also felt that he should prepare a few better cars at the farm.After the town is built, there may be more guests visiting the farm.You can't always use pickup trucks to receive guests.

Representatives of Pakistan did not rush to dissatisfaction.Maybe there is dissatisfaction but it is not big enough to express.

Li Sheng took the guests to the office and entertained them to express their welcome again.

Although representatives from three companies came to Pakistan this time, they seemed to be mainly Neil, the commercial representative of the state-owned agricultural foreign trade company.

After being courteous for a while, Neil proposed his willingness to buy beef: "Mr. Li, the people of our country remember Silent Farm's selfless help to us two years ago. They think Silent Farm is a respectable friend. We all hope to cooperate with our friends. "

Li Sheng nodded with a smile and said: "Although I am now a Brazilian citizen, I was a Chinese citizen more than three years ago. I have a deep understanding of the friendship between China and Brazil. Your country has also selflessly helped the Chinese people when they were in trouble. .So knowing that your country is facing difficulties for a while, I should do what I can for your country. I think that is what I should do under the great friendship.”

"Haha, Mr. Li is right. We have a great friendship." Neil was very satisfied with what Li Sheng said.In Li Sheng's words, China and Pakistan are equal countries.It doesn't mean that many Huaxia young people think that Huaxia is the boss.

He paused and said: "Mr. Li, in the past two years, my country's economic development has made great achievements, and people's living standards have been greatly improved. The demand for beef and other meat is constantly increasing. So we hope to import from you. Some beef."

Li Sheng blinked and said with a smile: "I am very honored to be able to cooperate with your company. However, the beef produced by Silent Farm has already signed a contract with the supplier. Of course, I can introduce it in the middle. The agent in China is my friend. He also has a very good impression of Pakistan. I think he will be willing to give up part of the quota."

Neil said with a smile: "Silent Beef is a famous beef brand in the world. Of course we hope to import it. But the price of beef from Silent Farm is relatively high for the consumption level of our people. So we will only import a small amount for the high-end market. We have already negotiated with Mr. Chen from Huaxia. We are here this time to import beef from the Amazon Animal Husbandry Company. We know that you are the largest shareholder of this company, and you are also the only supplier of fattening feed for the beef produced by this company. We hope Mr. Li can export some beef to us at a more favorable price under the friendship between us."

Li Sheng thought for a while, but didn't agree right away, but asked, "I wonder how much beef your country plans to import?"

Neil said with a smile: "Our three companies have a total of 65 tons of beef imports this year. In the next five years, it is expected that there will be no less than this amount."

The amount of 65 tons is already quite a lot.On average, each Pakistani can have more than three kilograms of weight.

Li Sheng asked again: "Then do you want to import Dong cattle or beef?"

"Half boneless beef, half beef with bone."

Li Sheng was shocked, that was at least equivalent to more than 200 million cattle.This amount accounts for one-tenth of the optimistically estimated production capacity of Amazon Animal Husbandry.

He smiled and said, "I will communicate with other shareholders and try to give you a preferential price."

"Thank you very much." Neil also said with a smile.He knew that although Li Sheng only held a quarter of the shares of Amazon Animal Husbandry, Li Sheng was definitely the leader of the company.As long as he speaks, other shareholders should not reject the preferential proposal.

In particular, he knows that Amazon's main profit does not come from beef sales, but pasture.The international competitiveness of Brazilian beef is not strong, and the price is relatively low.But they want to import beef produced by Amazon Livestock, whose price is similar to the international average price, because the quality of this beef is better than beef from other countries, and the price is more cost-effective.

Li Sheng also feels that if this business can be done, Amazon Livestock will still be profitable even if it offers a little discount on beef.The price of live cattle in Brazil is already relatively low, but the export price of beef from livestock companies is similar to that of major beef exporting countries such as the United States.Of course, the price of beef from Silent Farm is higher.

The beef deal was only talked about here for the time being, and Li Sheng thought they were done talking.Unexpectedly, Mr. Neil and the others gave him another surprise.

Friends from Pakistan also proposed to import some cooking oil and some mushrooms.These things do not count as the main scope of agency of Fernando and Chen Bo.These Li Sheng can directly agree to them.

From this, Li Sheng also thought that there might be greater prospects for the future trade between Silent Farm and Pakistan.
