silent farm

Chapter 293 Seeing the Problem from a Different Angle
The next day, despite the influence of the biological clock, Li Sheng did not sleep in. On the contrary, he watched the sunrise on the deck.

In the dead of night last night, the Arle had sailed far away from the shore.These days cruise ships just sail slowly.He played a set of boxing techniques taught by Zhang Dingbian during overtime, which stretched his bones a bit.At this time, the sun has just completely jumped out of the sea.

At this time, there was only one person coming down from the upper deck.Li Sheng was not unaware of his existence.It's just that this person was supposed to be doing morning prayers on it just now, and he thought it was a crew member on the ship, so he didn't care.This will see him, only to find out that it is the prince of Qatar.

Ali also introduced this prince to him last night.

Prince Hassan came down from the upper deck, held out his hand to Li Sheng and said, "Good morning, Li. I didn't expect you to get up and exercise after looking for it. Did you contact Huaxia Kung Fu just now?"

Li Sheng shook his head and said, "It can be regarded as a physical strengthening routine derived from kung fu, not kung fu." In fact, what he is practicing now is said to be a set of hard-trained external kung fu.But Li Sheng didn't put in much effort.If you are practicing kung fu outside, you must polish your body.He is just playing tricks now.

Prince Hassan said a few more clichés before saying to Li Sheng: "It's not time for breakfast yet, why don't we sit down and talk over there."

Li Sheng didn't refuse either.

The two sat down at a small table on the side of the boat.After a while, a crew member served two cups of espresso.Li Sheng took a sip and asked, "I don't know what the prince wants to talk about?"

"Haha, Li, you are very direct. However, you can call me Hassan."

Li Sheng looked into his eyes and said, "Okay, Hassan."

"I heard from Ali that the grass for his cattle ranch came from your Silent Farm?"

Li Sheng nodded and said, "Yes."

"I have a camel farm and a horse farm. I got a little pasture from Ali for inspection, and found that the pasture is very suitable for raising horses and alpacas. I wonder if you can also want me to supply pasture?"

Li Sheng thought for a while, and said with a little apology on his face, "Hassan, I'm very sorry. All the dry pasture sales of Silent Farm have been handed over to Amazon Animal Husbandry Company. I'm just one of the shareholders. So there is no way to promise you now."

Hassan didn't show any anger when he was rejected, but asked with a smile, "Ali is also a shareholder of this company?"

"Yes, he owns 16 percent. And he has the approval of all other shareholders to buy grass directly from me."

"Understood." Hassan asked, taking a sip of his coffee with lowered eyebrows. "I don't know if your Amazon animal husbandry company plans to raise money?"

Li Sheng's promise is the third class for a fool.Now the animal husbandry company is not short of money, and it is developing rapidly, and there is no need for financing at all.So without thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "I don't have that plan for now."

"I heard that you own 24% of the company's shares. Can you sell some of them to me? Of course, I can buy them at a 25% premium to the current share value." Hassan asked again.

Li Sheng also refused directly: "Hassan, I have no plans to sell the shares of Amazon Animal Husbandry now."

In fact, he doesn't intend to complicate the Amazon Livestock stake.Nor is he worried that several others will sell their shares to other people.Because in the original company's articles of association, if someone intends to sell the shares in their hands, the other shareholders can get them as long as they pay the actual value of the shares.So otherwise, no matter how high the outsider's bid is, he can control the shares in his hands.

Seeing his resolute refusal, Hassan lowered his eyelids, and the smile on his face did not fade when he raised it again, and said, "That's really a pity. I hope you will notify me when you intend to sell."

Li Sheng nodded.

At this time, the crew member came over and asked what they wanted for breakfast.It turns out that there are several kitchens on board, and besides the absence of taboo ingredients, delicacies from several countries can be prepared on board.Taking into account the different dining habits of different countries, the village does not eat breakfast together, and let everyone order their own dishes to eat in the suite.

Li Sheng heard that he was going to have breakfast, so he took the opportunity to say goodbye to Hassan.

After breakfast, Li Sheng stayed in the suite to rest for a while.Ali came to the door.

After entering the door, Ali sat straight on the sofa and asked, "Did Hassan look for you just now?"

Li Sheng nodded and said, "He wanted to take a stake in Amazon Livestock. But I declined."

"He mentioned it to me last night, and I also refused, saying that I need to see your opinions."

Li Sheng was a little strange and said, "Is he so optimistic about Amazon Livestock?"

"Did you forget that you have won two big orders? The orders from the United States and Pakistan are enough to double the profit of Amazon's livestock. Who is not optimistic about such a company." Ali said with a smile. "Moreover, we people in the Middle East are more interested in companies entering the US market."

He paused, and continued: "Hassan is a senior executive of the Qatar Royal Investment Authority. If he can get a stake in Amazon Livestock, it will be a good result for him."

Li Sheng immediately heard what he meant.Hassan is not planning to invest himself, but wants the Qatari royal family to invest.Li Sheng was even more grateful for this.He nodded and said, "I understand. But I don't want to add any more shareholders."

He is not short of money now, if any of the other four shareholders is short of money, he can eat the shares they sold.

Ali laughs: "I certainly wouldn't give up those shares. I don't think anyone else would either."

Now Amazon Animal Husbandry has only five shareholders, and it is not listed. It is legally regarded as a private company, so the company must pay dividends.In the first half of last year, the company's profit exceeded 100 billion reais, which is like a chicken that lays golden eggs. Of course, he would not think about selling his shares.

If Hassan is willing to spend a lot of money to buy shares, it may not be because he sees that the company can make money.

Ali continued: "However, Amazon animal husbandry is likely to become the target of many people, who may be hostile or coveted. I heard that you opened up the American market in a way that made Americans lose face, but this is in It is only done under certain circumstances. Once the environment changes, the company may lose this market and be besieged by those companies in the United States.”

Speaking of this, he looked at Li Sheng's face before continuing: "Maybe we can cooperate with American companies."

"You mean to form an alliance of interests with them?" Li Sheng frowned.

Ali thought he was unwilling, and continued to persuade: "It will be very difficult for us to work hard in the US market alone. It will definitely be much easier if there are companies from the US. And they will also help solve any problems in the future. Although we It will give up some of the benefits, but it is possible to sell beef in the United States for a long time." He paused and said. "As long as there is a market for beef, we can convince more cattle farmers to use our grass."

Li Sheng thought about it for a while, then nodded and said, "What you said makes sense. The biggest profit point for livestock companies is grass. As long as the beef sold in the United States does not lose money, it can create profits for us."

Ali smiled and said, "Maybe we can talk to Fernando about this idea later."

Li Sheng was about to nod when Fernando knocked on the door.

Fernando was wearing boxer trunks and a bathrobe. It turned out that he invited Li Sheng to swim.Li Sheng and Ali told him what they had just discussed.

Fernando certainly didn't want to have one more shareholder.At the same time, he also agrees with the suggestion of cooperating with local American companies to sell beef: "Actually, I am now seeking to cooperate with American companies."

He is the manager of the animal husbandry company, so Li Sheng and the others just make suggestions on many things. As long as it is not something that endangers the interests of shareholders, they will basically not make any requests.Now that he can agree with their proposal and has done a certain amount of work, Li Sheng and Ali will of course not say anything more.

Ali smiled and said, "I'll go back and change first."

Li Sheng also went into the room and changed into swimming trunks, which were also boxer trunks, the more conservative ones, the ones that almost reached the knees.

Seeing the tense muscles on his body, Fernando smiled and said, "You are tall and thin in your clothes. I didn't expect you to have a lot of muscles on your body."

Li Sheng smiled and said, "I have a relatively small frame." He is from southern China. Although he is not short in height, he does not appear to be strong enough.

Of course, that also has something to do with him not deliberately exercising himself into a muscular man.But he runs and punches every day, and his muscles are relatively strong.Although there is no obvious eight-pack muscle in the abdomen, a six-pack can be vaguely seen.It was born like this, even if he exercises again, it will only cost six yuan.But his thighs are quite strong, and the hems of his swimming trunks are stretched tightly.

"Let's go." Fernando said with a smile. "It's time to exercise after breakfast." They also probably had a good rest.

"No activity in the morning?"

"Today is free time." Fernando said. "This gathering doesn't have too many fixed agendas, the main thing is to give us a chance to get together. If you want to talk about anything, just find someone to talk to."

Li Sheng felt that such an organization was quite easy.

They walked out the door just as Ali emerged from his apartment.He was also only wearing a pair of swimming trunks, with a white towel draped over his shoulders.

Together the three made their way up to the topmost deck, which houses the yacht's largest swimming pool.When they arrived at the place, they found that many people had already arrived.It seems that swimming is the most suitable activity at this time.

There were a lot of people by the pool, some were already swimming in the pool, some were lying on sun loungers and basking in the sun, and two girls were sitting by the pool in one-piece swimsuits that completely covered their hands and feet.

Li Sheng was a little surprised. He thought that men and women would be separated in activities like swimming.However, he should have seen six princesses who had already come to the swimming pool. From their swimsuits, it can be seen that the conservativeness of Middle Eastern countries is also different.There are two princesses who are intended to be long-sleeved and trousers.Although three of them are more conservative, they also show their arms and thighs, and one is in the middle, showing their arms and a pair of calves.
