silent farm

Chapter 80 Leisure Farm?

Blanca is quite satisfied with the results of this interview.

Before she came, she had heard that the farmer of Silent Farm had a strange temperament, and she was worried that something would happen during the interview.During the interview,? It was discovered that Li Sheng's cooperation was unnecessary.It seems that the rumors are unbelievable.

She also felt that a farmer could not support a show.But now it seems that although Li Sheng, the subject of the interview, is not very consistent with the principles of their program, there are many explosive points that can be discovered in this silent farm.

Of course, it is impossible for her program to only broadcast the speeches of the interviewees, but to draw social controversies from these speeches.In the interview, Li Sheng mentioned a lot of things that will arouse the audience's concern, such as the newly discovered indigenous tribes, getting along with the surrounding indigenous people, and his views on deforestation.

Accompanied by Anthony, the staff of the TV station did not leave Silent Farm until the next day after filming a lot of material in the farm.

Before leaving, Blanca said to Li Sheng: "We will arrange to broadcast this interview as soon as possible after we go back."

As for whether the other party said polite words or sincerely thought so, Li Sheng didn't really care.Because it's useless for him to care, he still doesn't have the ability to influence a behemoth like Universal TV.

Two days later, Anthony and Thomas approached Li Sheng at the same time.

In fact, it was Thomas who came to find Li Sheng this time, but Anthony was already the de facto outreach director of the farm, and this time what they wanted to talk to Li Sheng related to this aspect, so Anthony would come with Thomas.

It turned out someone had contacted Thomas through Facebook.

Thomas told Li Sheng: "A professor from New York University in the United States contacted me through Facebook and asked if they could be allowed to visit our farm. It is said that they have cooperated with the BBC for this investigation."

"What is the focus of their investigation?"

Li Sheng knew very well that they really wanted to inspect the Amazon jungle, and they had many choices.They must have come to Silent Farm because they wanted something they couldn't find anywhere else.

Sure enough, Thomas replied as he expected: "They want to investigate the Jilolo tribe."

Li Sheng pondered, tapped the armrest of the sofa with his fingers, and finally said: "Reject them."

"But Li, this is a good opportunity to make a name for our farm. BBC programs are open to audiences all over the world." Thomas said puzzled. "Such an inspection will likely appear on the BBC broadcast as news, and it will probably be made into a documentary. This is a rare opportunity."

But Li Sheng shook his head and said, "The BBC is one of the largest news organizations in the world, and they have every reason to be proud. So the chances of Silent Farm's name appearing in their news are extremely slim. If it's a documentary, I don't know how long it will take. Coming out, in particular, we don’t know if we’ll end up in their documentary in a negative light or in a positive light.”

What he didn't say was that he was from Huaxia.He didn't think an arrogant Englishman would speak well of a Chinese farm.

After all, Li Sheng is the owner of Silent Farm, and his decision is the best decision.Thomas said, slightly disappointed, "Okay. I'll turn him down."

Li Sheng knew the source of the opponent's disappointment.He smiled and said, "Thomas, I hope you can prepare in advance."

"What do you mean?" Thomas didn't quite understand what he said out of nowhere.

Li Sheng looked at Anthony and said, "Anthony, if this Global Channel interview is broadcast, I think some people will start to be interested in Silent Farm. Some people may come to the farm for vacation or tourism. But our farm can now There are too few tourism resources developed. You can discuss with Thomas to see if you can reach an agreement with the surrounding indigenous villages."

He paused, and then said to Thomas: "The tourism resources on the farm should be pretty good, the flowers in the meadow, the virgin forest, and various modern facilities, such as golf courses, etc. You draw up a development tourism project plan. I think you'll like the job."

That's what Thomas is for.

A year ago, Li Sheng promised to develop the farm tourism at the right time, but the farm has not been ready before.In his view, the farm is now ready.So taking advantage of someone's request for an investigation, he wanted to persuade Li Sheng to implement this project.

Li Sheng rejected his first proposal, but offered to start a farm tour.This made him unexpectedly excited: "Of course, I am very happy."

Thomas is the only executive on the farm who doesn't have a regular job right now.And his goal is to develop jungle tourism on the farm.And now Li Sheng has officially handed over this matter to him.

"I hope that the villages near the farm, such as Aurihimina and Saola, which is a little further away, can also be included in our system. So in terms of transportation, we also need to make some considerations."

Anthony nodded and said: "We can find some villages located along the nearby river as partners. We take tourists there, tourists can visit different scenery and ethnic customs. And they can also sell some specialties to increase income. However, the means of transportation do There is a need for safety. I think there may be a need for comfort as well."

"Maybe we can buy two more small boats," Thomas suggested. "The cruise ship doesn't need to be huge, but at least it doesn't require tourists to wear life jackets at all times."

Li Sheng nodded and said, "You can write these in your plan."

He paused for a moment before continuing: "Anthony just talked about safety issues. I plan to ask Babur and the others to recruit more people. These people don't need strong combat capabilities, but they must have the ability to ensure the safety of tourists. This On the other hand, you can discuss it with Babur and Zhang Dingbian."

"Okay." Thomas had some thoughts on that too. "Our farm has a large area of ​​virgin jungle. I think it is essential to develop jungle tours. I think we need a group of professional tour guides. In addition, when you talk about horse riding, I think we also need some horse riding instructors."

Li Sheng nodded and said, "You're right."

He pondered for a while, and specifically explained: "The Ji Luoluo tribe is likely to become an important reason for those tourists to visit. But we can't help them make decisions. We have to see if they are willing to contact people from the outside world. If not Yes, we can't disturb them."

Thomas looked down for a moment, then said, "I'll talk to them. But maybe I need Tia to do that."

Li Sheng thought for a while and said with a wry smile: "This also requires Tia to act as our translator. Anthony, your task is still very heavy."

Anthony smiled and said: "Tia is very hardworking. Although it's only been a few days, I think her progress will be much faster than Chashi. She will probably be able to understand us in a month at most."

Tia is now holding a dictionary every day and spelling words according to the pronunciation. Maybe she still doesn't know the meaning of the words.But she is learning in this unconventional way.When Li Sheng said it, she just smiled.

Although I don't know what effect she has, this energy is still very remarkable.

And he's actually not that fond of the farm's tourism business.But he feels that the farm does need a certain amount of fame, and tourism can make the name of Silent Farm appear on the Internet.And he also needs to appease Thomas' emotions.

Thomas was one of the first three employees on the farm, and arguably his teacher.He habitually thinks more about the feelings of the people around him.

But he didn't want to go back on this matter. Since he had promised to let Thomas do this business before, he would continue to support it.So he felt that the discussion on the tourism business could be temporarily suspended.

He changed the subject.

"I'm going to buy a medium helicopter, what do you guys think?"

There are two helicopters in the farm now, one has been used for more than ten years, and the other was bought by Li Sheng last year.But they are all light helicopters.Now it seems that these two helicopters are not enough.

"Are you planning to use it for transportation?" Thomas understood Li Sheng's plan when he heard that he planned to buy a medium-sized helicopter.

Li Sheng nodded and said, "It's mainly for transportation. But it can also be used to carry passengers. It can also be used for rescue if necessary."

Thomas praised: "Your idea is very good, Li. In the future, we may have some goods that need to be transported to the airport quickly. In addition, forest fires will also be a threat to us. In addition, rescue may also become a problem that we need to pay attention to in the future. aspect."

When Li Sheng heard about the forest fire, he couldn't help but worry: "Will jungle tourism cause forest fire hazards? A helicopter may not be useful for forest fires, right?"

"As long as there are a lot of workers on the farm, the risk of bushfires is high. Of course, if there are bush tourists, the risk is higher. But we can't give up just because of that," Thomas explained. "And the role of the helicopter is not to try to fight the fire, but to rescue."

Li Sheng thought for a while and said, "OK, I understand." The rescue Thomas was talking about was only people trapped in the fire or threatened by life. "Then you must pay attention to this when you do tourism business in the future."

But he thought in his heart that if that was the case, maybe he would need more helicopters.In addition, the current helicopters are obviously not enough.Helicopters are required for security patrols and operations.

Thomas couldn't wait to complete the preparations for the tour project, so he said his goodbyes and left quickly.Anthony had nothing special, so they left together.

AC313, and AS350, these are the reference opinions given by Li Sheng when he called Zhang Dingbian to ask for opinions.

He first checked on the Internet, AC313 is almost a medium-sized helicopter made in China, and the military model is Z-8.However, he prefers the shape of the military model, because it can land on water, and the civilian model cancels this design.

The AS350 is a model produced in cooperation with Europe, which is regarded as the best.

Since he can choose domestic products, Li Sheng will not look for other models for the time being.If that doesn't work, look for another model.

Although he was more or less a son of a rich family before, he really didn't pay much attention to helicopters.That thing was not something he could afford before he was in charge of the family.When he was in charge, he was busy with business and didn't have time to pay attention to those things.After being at home, I don't have the mood to play these things.

He checked and found that the load capacity of AC313 was five tons, and he felt that it could meet future needs.As for the AS350, this aircraft can carry more than one and a half tons, and it can also carry about ten people. It is also suitable for the farm security team, and it can also be used as a light transport aircraft.Moreover, these two types of helicopters have not had any technical accidents.Should be considered a relatively safe model.

When he was considering what kind of plane to buy, Fernando, who had not contacted him for several months, suddenly contacted him.
