Chapter 351 Full of bitter tears

Speaking of this year on the Brazilian farm, Li Jiashan was filled with tears of bitterness.

Farms in Brazil are actually not expensive. Through the commercial counselor of the Chinese Embassy, ​​I contacted the Brazilian place, and they quickly recommended a farm located in the northeastern part of Brazil, covering an area of ​​more than 3,000 hectares, with permanent property rights, and the total cost...

$460,000. Ahem!

Okay! It’s Jiangzi, and the price per hectare is more than 100 US dollars. This is because Li Jiashan is unfamiliar with the place and doesn’t dare to buy a larger farm.

There are too many wastelands in Brazil, and they have been encouraging development. If they are local farmers, they can even give them away. But Brazilian farmers have no birds, and they are all crowded into slums in big cities.

However, there is also a peasant movement in Brazil, with tens of millions of people, strongly demanding that the government allocate land. They don't like these wastelands at all. Do they really want the cultivated land of the large estates?

Anyway, they are more sophisticated, and it is difficult for Farm Rabbit to understand the brain circuits of those people.

If it were placed in China, even Qi Xiulian would dare to roll up her sleeves and become a shrew just for a few acres of land! On the contrary, in Brazil, hundreds of hectares of wasteland are given to farmers, but they don’t even want it?

Of course, with such a cheap price, it must be very remote and the traffic conditions are not good. But... there are so many donkeys?

To what extent have local donkeys become overpopulated? Even if someone starts selling them later, it is enough to give them 2.30 reais per donkey. That is almost 4.5 US dollars, which is similar to giving you two packs of cigarettes in China.

However, as long as it is shipped to the country, each donkey will sell for at least 3,000 yuan, right? Because it is relatively remote, the transportation cost is relatively high, and all the expenses add up to about 500 yuan. Can you imagine what kind of huge profit this is?

Not counting this, if the donkey was dismantled and sold at retail, the price would be at least 12,000 yuan more.

So this year, the farm definitely made a huge profit. More than 3,000 animals were shipped back in several batches, which is nearly 10 million, almost more than 1 million US dollars, which is enough to buy two farms of the same size.

In addition, there are still tens of thousands of donkeys left on the farm, and the number is growing rapidly. They don’t care about raising them at all, and they just keep them in pens. Anyway, 230,000 to 30,000 hectares of wasteland were given to them at cabbage prices, so the wasteland was

Be a ranch!

In addition, more than 1.2 million US dollars were spent on building houses, warehouses, donkey stables and other buildings, purchasing agricultural machinery, leveling land, water conservancy and irrigation projects, etc. And if we want to continue development, we will invest almost the same amount in the next two years.

, with a budget investment of more than US$5 million within five years.

This should be almost done. Basically, the farm has become a mature field, and we can wait for a steady stream of output from now on!

During this year, Li Jiashan was basically busy with these two things. Of course, he did not forget his original intention. By the way, he planted thousands of hectares of various crops and harvested a lot of farm products.

It should be said that it seems to be developing quite well. However, the problem arises:

The first is the language barrier, which makes it impossible to communicate with the locals. You know, this is quite fatal. The division of labor in modern agriculture is very thin. You don’t know where to buy seeds, pesticides, costs, where to sell agricultural products, or local agricultural policies.

I don’t know where to maintain and repair agricultural machinery...

This is not a situation where men farm and women weave. There must be division of labor and cooperation. Therefore, Li Jiashan was exhausted and ended up causing unnecessary losses everywhere. Fortunately, there were still donkeys, otherwise, the farm would have lost blood.

The second is unsustainability. The donkeys in the area are almost exhausted, and long-distance trafficking has recently begun, and the price is also rising. And at most four or five years, donkeys in Brazil will become endangered animals. They will never be seen again.

There is such a good thing.

In the end, it just doesn’t make money. Li Jiashan calculated that in Brazil, the price of agricultural products is quite low. Except for greenhouse vegetables, there is no market for other products. But if you want to transport them back to China, let’s not talk about the agricultural product quota issue.

One question - who to sell to?

This also includes donkeys. Let’s not talk about the donkey meat. At least there is a canteen here in Rongguang. Just talk about the backlog of donkey skins in hand? Those donkey hide gelatin manufacturers are only willing to charge 15 yuan a piece? Is that really the same as Baiqiang?

It makes no difference. You like to sell or not!

These are the main problems currently encountered. Of course, there are others, such as those who want to immigrate, people are scattered, the team is difficult to manage, local labor in Brazil is too expensive, etc.

Therefore, Li Jiashan is not entirely complaining. He really doesn’t want to go to Brazil.

Due to the poor sales of donkeys, Li Jiashan did not fail to use his brain. He simply left some of the donkeys to develop a donkey breeding industry in his village.

However, there is still the old question - how to sell?

So Li Jiashan wanted to stay in China and work as a donkey dealer all over the country. As for the Brazilian farm? He hoped that Rong Guang would hire someone else.

Rong Guang finally understood. The main problem was his ability. Li Jiashan had no experience in managing a large farm. In addition, he was overseas and couldn't find anyone to ask for advice. In the end, he became more and more frightened.

Seeing Li Jiashan sighing, Rong Guang was happy: "Uncle Shan, has the donkey sales problem been solved? At least it can get over in the next few years?"

Anyway, the requirements for beauty are not high. After more than ten years, the underground industry of donkeys has even surpassed ivory smuggling? It has almost frightened the whole world. Are you still worried that it cannot be sold?

Li Jiashan smiled and nodded: "Degen, Guangzi, that's why I came to you this time to help the villagers think of a solution!"

"This is simple." Rong Guang thought about it for a few seconds, and then he was ready to mortgage NetEase's shares for a loan. The market value is almost 300 million U.S. dollars. Can he borrow at least 200 million U.S. dollars? "Dad, Uncle Shan, I will tell Sister Dahong that you can come together."

Open a donkey meat restaurant and donkey meat hot pot chain store. As for the donkey skin...? Well... let's just make donkey-hide gelatin ourselves!"

"ah?"

Rong Degen and Li Jiashan looked at each other. Li Jiashan asked uncertainly: "That is a medicinal material. Do we have the ability to do it?"

Rong Guang said cheerfully: "Don't you know how to poach people if you don't have the ability? Just go to Dong'e donkey-hide gelatin and look for them. Uncle Shan, don't worry about the farm. You will be the director of the donkey-hide gelatin factory!"

Li Jiashan's eyes lit up. If he could be a township entrepreneur in China, he would not be sleepy!

"Sure!" Regardless of Rong Degen's still hesitation, Li Jiashan slapped his thigh, "I'll just listen to you, Guangzi!"

"Guangzi, the city leaders came to see me. Their oil pressing plant cannot be opened now." Li Jiashan suddenly remembered something, "They heard that we have a farm in Brazil and hope that we can provide a batch of cheap imported Brazilian soybeans."

"How much?"

"Ten thousand tons will do. If not, several thousand tons will do."

"Are we that?"
