silent farm

Chapter 316 The first [eight] nine chapters cooperation (guaranteed three)
After eating the breakfast made by Li Sheng, the temperature outside was already rising.However, the temperature will not have much impact on Li Sheng, and Ali and Hassan have experienced high temperatures exceeding [-] degrees many times.This temperature, for them, is very cool weather.It is relatively humid, which makes the two princes who came to the desert area a little uncomfortable.

But this day Hassan suggested fishing with great interest.

These wooden houses already have tools for these leisure activities. Li Sheng found a few fishing rods and some bait.

Hassan was obviously new to fishing, but even so, he still caught a lot of fish.

He put a one-and-a-half foot peacock moon into the net bag in the water, and said with a smile: "Fishing here is very satisfying. I feel like I am a good fisherman."

Li Sheng also mentioned a guppy. Hearing what he said, he also smiled and said: "There are a lot of fish here, and food is actually even scarcer in the forest, so these fish will rush to eat whatever they can eat."

In fact, they only caught seven or eight fish in an hour now, which is considered very poor.He has seen some tourists with a little fishing ability hold a canoe and catch 30 fish in less than an hour by swinging the fishing rod on the lake. The largest one is arapaima weighing more than [-] kilograms.

The three of them will fish for more than an hour, which may not be as good as the man who fished alone.

Hassan said with a little emotion: "This world is really unfair. There is so much water here, but in the Middle East, most of the land is desert."

Li Sheng couldn't help laughing and said, "But there are also many people who are jealous that oil can seep out of any holes you dug underground."

Ali laughed and said, "That's too exaggerated."

Hassan also smiled, but said: "That is indeed a treasure given to us by Allah. But it is also the root cause of the war in the Middle East."

Li Sheng regretted bringing up this topic a little bit.The difference in ideology is not only the two ideas of society and capital, but also religion.

In fact, during this period of time, he studied the oil exporting countries in the world and found that among the Arab countries with a large amount of oil resources, except for the monarchy, others are not favored by the United States.Some have been taken out by the United States or its thugs, and one is struggling to be isolated by the entire Arab world.

And the United States is indeed rampant in the world in the name of democracy.The First World War was really a war between two ideologies—capitalism and feudal monarchy.The Second World War was also a war between dictatorship and democracy.But now the United States prefers Middle Eastern countries to practice absolute monarchy.

That is a very strange phenomenon.

But in the final analysis, it is because of the autocratic monarchy that oil resources are more likely to flow into the pockets of Americans.

Therefore, the source of the endless wars in Arab countries is still oil.

Although he didn't want to continue this topic, but thinking of oil, Li Sheng couldn't help but tentatively said, "Don't you think oil is your most powerful weapon?"

"That's true. But the weapon is not something we can wield alone." Hassan said lightly.

Ali also said: "Although oil is a good thing, we hope to get rid of excessive dependence on oil."

When Li Sheng heard the topic, he seemed to be off topic. He felt that Ali might want to talk to him about Silent Farm next."Maybe other countries will be less dependent on your oil and the situation will be better," he said with a smile.

Hassan smiled and said, "Actually, we are also very contradictory. I hope that other countries can buy our oil at a high price, but I also hope that other countries will not always stare at us."

Ali suddenly asked: "Li, when do you plan to close your position this time?"

Li Sheng glanced at him, thought for a while and said, "Close the position when the price is close to 130."

Ali smiled and said: "I also plan to be at that price. And it is the most suitable."

Li Sheng asked why.Ali changed the subject and said: "I noticed that the town you want to build is already under construction. I don't think you just want to build a town."

Li Sheng blinked and said, "For the time being, there is only this plan."

Hassan and Ali glanced at each other and said with a smile: "Li, you know that we have a lot of funds in our hands and are looking for investment. I heard from Ali that Silent Farm is your home, and I should not ask for shares. But I After hearing about your plan to build a city, I think we might have some cooperation."

Li Sheng heard that he was not planning for the shares of Silent Farm, but he would like to hear his cooperation idea: "What kind of cooperation?"

"The Amazon plain is a huge treasure trove. It has the most abundant animal and plant resources in the world. I think it should be a very good plan to build a base here to develop the biological resources of the Amazon jungle."

"You plan to develop the Amazon plain? That's not an easy task. Just being an environmentalist can keep you busy." Li Sheng is not optimistic about his plan. "And that's not in line with the wishes of European and American countries."

At this time, Ali said: "We don't plan to use the wood from the forest. In fact, we plan to use the rich medicinal resources in the forest. There are also various biological resources. Our plan is to build a processing base for the products of the Amazon rainforest. "

Only then did Li Sheng understand what they meant, but he just couldn't figure out where he was needed in this plan.

"That's a really good idea, but why did you choose to work with me?"

"Because we know that Silent Farm has a lot of products, such as the kind of bamboo that can produce sugar, and there are also large pieces of Brazilian chestnuts."

"You want to process those two things?"

Li Sheng didn't expect them to be staring at that thing.

"And coffee from Silent Farm."

Li Sheng thought for a while and said, "Those three kinds of products can be handed over to you for processing. But I'm not sure about handing over all of them to you."

He thought about it now, and felt that if the farms were also used to process the three projects, Siparu Town would probably be overwhelmed, and the population growth rate would far exceed his previous plan.Now that Ali and Hassan plan to make this thing, it may not be a bad thing for Silent Farm and Ranch.

It's just that he doesn't know if Chen Bo and the others have any plans for these things.So he can't say he's dead now.

Hassan had some reservations when he heard what he said, but still felt that the trip was worthwhile.The [-] square kilometers of Brazil chestnuts and hundreds of square kilometers of coffee, these two alone can lay a good foundation for his plan.In addition, Ali said that there is another kind of bamboo that can produce sugar. If that is the case, he can build an industrial base in Brazil.In addition, it is also possible to let the natives in the Amazon plains collect various products in the forest.That should be a good investment.

Li Sheng thought for a while, then said, "But where are you going to implement your plan?"

Ali said: "Obidos. The closest settlement to Silent Farm, and it is close to the golden waterway of the Amazon River."

When Li Sheng heard that they were planning to choose there, he said in his heart: "Maybe, we can indeed expand the scope of cooperation. For example, build a port in Obidos and connect the land transportation between Obidos and Siparu Town." .”

This plan has long been formed in his mind, but it is not easy for him to carry out this plan with all the pressure.But if there is their plan.The pressure on environmental protection seems to have eased a lot.

According to what Ali and Hassan just said, they do not intend to develop forests, but let people collect various medicinal raw materials or various wild resources in the forest.If this plan can be strictly implemented, not only can the support of the Amazon Basin be used, but the damage to the environment will not be too great.The implementation can sustain the economic development here.Such a project, which proposes to build a port and a road, should have no problem.

Upon hearing his thoughts, Hassan thought for a while and said, "If our plan can be implemented smoothly, it is necessary to build a road leading to the Silent Farm. It is also necessary to build a port."

For short-distance transportation, the efficiency of road land transportation is far greater than that of river transportation.And if they really want to build their production base in Óbidos, there must be a port for the things they produce to be shipped out.Before, he just thought about building a simple port. Now that he thinks about it, if Silent Farm really reaches its limit, tens of millions of tons of things will be transported by water every year.

For example, those pastures, according to Ali's estimates, Silent Farm can harvest at least 6000 million tons of dry pastures.In addition, Silent Farm has many other bulk agricultural products that need to be transported by water.If most of it goes through the new pier they're building, that's good business too.

"But if you're interested, maybe we can work together. It would be easier for the Brazilian government to pass the plan."

Li Sheng said with a smile: "Actually, I have such a plan in the first place, but it's a bit difficult for one person to complete it."

In fact, he had more thoughts in his mind.One of them is about oil production.But he's not going to say it yet.

Ali smiled and said: "Hassan's team is communicating with the Brazilian government, but I don't think they will reject an investment of more than 100 billion US dollars."

Li Sheng couldn't help but be speechless when he heard that an unknown project can invest tens of billions of dollars.I have to say that the princes in the Middle East are really rich and powerful.

The three of them were talking while fishing. Although it was not considered a negotiation, they were actually improving the framework of cooperation bit by bit.

The investment of both parties and the rights and interests of both parties in this cooperation are all involved in their conversation.Although these are not the final results, they are actually testing the opponent's bottom line.

After a day of negotiations, they initially agreed that Li Sheng would invest 30% of the funds in the entire project, accounting for 30% of the equity, while Ali would invest 20%, and the rest would be invested by the Qatar Royal Assets Management Committee.

However, Li Sheng can send people to participate in the management of the project in the future.In particular, the port can have the right to operate wharves with corresponding capacity.
