My Strength Does Not Allow Me to Low-key

Chapter 699: crisis awareness

   And Copper Country happened to be on the list of beef importing countries allowed by China, so before coming, Xiao Feng came with a purpose.

   As celebrity chef manufacturing chains are opening more and more, their beef consumption is also increasing. Basically, they consume three to four tons of beef every day to make cooking buns.

   And this number will increase in the future. It is no longer possible to conceal the source of beef by ‘import’ from Belarus.

   In fact, the best way at this time is to buy a few ranches and mutton by yourself to form a closed industrial chain to reduce risks.

   In China, the good pasture areas have basically been taken up by the dairy companies, and the cost of raising them in captivity is too high now.

First of all, cattle raising is now a highly polluting industry, and it is difficult for you to obtain EIA qualifications. Second, domestic labor costs and feed costs are not low, coupled with various problems such as vaccines, anti-bacteria, etc., which leads to domestic cattle raising now. The cost remains high.

   So the best way to solve this problem is to buy pastures abroad for breeding.

   And first of all, the best place is Russia. It is close to Ben Thanh, the place is big, and the environment for breeding is good. Some of the land is cheap and labor is not expensive.

When Xiao Feng went to Russia for an inspection, he found that the price of beef there was really touching. If you buy one catty of beef in China, you can buy three catties of good beef in the regular market. If you go to a small market in the country, you Can buy four kilograms of good beef.

   But the problem now is that the country does not open the beef market to Russia. The fear is that a large amount of low-priced Russian beef will enter the domestic market and completely destroy the domestic beef cattle breeding industry.

   So I have to find other suitable places. I won’t talk about Europe. There are many countries and the land is generally not open to the outside world.

  And the overseas ranch areas suitable for investment by Chinese people are only a few areas such as the United States, Australia and Canada.

   But the problem now is that none of these countries have a particularly friendly attitude towards China. The United States does not have to think about it. The pastures in Australia and Canada are not easy to buy now.

   The most important thing is that the cost of raising cattle in these countries is not low, and the freight is added. Therefore, it is not cost-effective to buy pastures in these countries and raise cattle on a large scale.

   After Jesse made a survey on the investment environment of Copper Country and Ithaca last time, he gave several investment suggestions.

   The concept of island farming made Xiao Feng a bright spot.

   There are more than 100 small and large islands in the Karapag Islands in the Ithaca area, of which only five are inhabited, and the rest are desert islands.

   And the total area of ​​these islands can be more than 500 square kilometers, the largest one is more than 100 square kilometers, and the small one is only a few hundred square meters.

   There are some seabirds on these deserted islands, there are no other creatures at all, and the vegetation on the island is dense, which is very suitable for raising livestock.

   And this kind of thing, Spaniards and Dutch have done it before.

   In the era of the explosion of navigation in the 16th century, the Spaniards took the lead in completing the round-the-world travel, and after that, the Spaniards sent one expedition fleet after another.

   These fleets traversed the Atlantic Ocean, first colonized the South American continent, then crossed the Strait of Magellan, entered the Pacific Ocean and explored westward, and finally discovered the Philippines, China, and the Southeast Asian continent.

   The Portuguese were the first to follow in the footsteps of the Spanish, and then the Dutch. These countries sent one fleet after another to venture into the ocean.

   But in the era when there was no navigation and no sea state map, ocean exploration was a high-risk job, especially in terms of how to obtain supplies.

   So there are many expedition boats. When going out to sea, they will bring a lot of chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep on the boats. On the one hand, you can eat fresh meat at critical times.

On the other hand, after discovering the deserted islands, the crew put the cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks on those deserted islands, allowing them to reproduce freely, and then following the passing boats, they can go to the island to catch these cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks as a supply. .

   The Spanish and the Dutch insisted on doing this, so in the eighteenth century, there were countless bison and wild sheep on the Pacific islands between South America and Australia.

  Because there are no natural enemies, those islands have become paradise for these cattle and sheep. They multiply on the island in large numbers, and by the way, they have greatly helped the crew of that era to improve their lives.

   This habit has been maintained until modern times. With the increasing development of navigation technology and food storage technology, sailors are no longer going to the top of the island. Instead, they have begun to hunt large numbers of cattle and sheep that don’t need money in exchange for money.

   Later, the government of Tongguo made a fortune by hunting and killing the bison and wild sheep on the islands in their waters.

   So now on those desert islands, it is rare to see bison and sheep, but some private islands close to the South American mainland still have many large and small pastures, raising cattle and sheep.

   The investigation report that Jesse gave to Xiao Feng put forward this suggestion, and for Xiao Feng, who is lacking a reasonable cover for the source of his beef, it can be said to be a hit.

Those deserted islands have no water, no electricity, no internet. If a modern person stays on the island for a week, he may go crazy, but for cattle and sheep, it is different. Where there is no natural enemy to eat or drink, it is simply a godsend. .

   And if you do farming on it, it saves a lot of trouble for humans. There is no world of cattle and sheep, and there is no fear of cattle and sheep being eaten. It is surrounded by the sea, and is not afraid of cattle and sheep running away.

   There are plenty of plants on the island, and there is no need to prepare food for the cattle and sheep. They can also wander around on the island and do not need to stock them regularly every day, so much labor and feed costs are saved!

   It can be said that as long as the cattle and sheep are thrown on the island every year, it is enough to come and harvest them in the coming year.

   The only thing to worry about is not to let people go to the island to steal cattle and sheep.

  Moreover, the location of the archipelago is just below the center of the Pacific Ocean, far away from Indonesia and Australia. Shipments from here will go to China, and the cost is much lower than that from South America or North America.

   So after looking around, Xiao Feng thinks this is simply the perfect island pasture!

However, he originally wanted to take a few islands from here, and it would cost a lot of money to engage in breeding, but he did not expect that the two brothers of the Chen family would welcome with their hands and feet, which made him strange. Up.

   Are these brothers really so generous?

   "That's right! This is absolutely okay!"

   The attitude of the two brothers Chen Xutang and Chen Xutang completely confused Xiao Feng. Could it be that they really wanted to give away those islands to themselves?

   At this time, the Chen family brothers also noticed Xiao Feng's expression of surprise, and then the two looked at each other and explained to Xiao Feng with a smile.

"Don’t be surprised, Mr. Xiao, it’s actually like this. When my fathers took the archipelago in the early years, it was to leave a way for our people. In the future, if we can’t get along with the people from the copper country, we can still retreat to the island. On. Over the past hundred years, although we have been getting along well with the Araucans and native whites, we have always been..."

   The meaning of the Chen brothers, Xiao Feng understands very well, after all, they are Chinese! The most difficult ethnic group in the world to integrate, because Shan Fan is a Chinese, and he will always maintain that unique culture and plot in his heart.

   Otherwise, look at Malays in Southeast Asia, and there are so many Chinese living in Indonesia. They have lived there for hundreds of years, but they are still Chinese.

   Even in the United States, the strongest country in the world, the Chinese still retain their own living habits, and Chinatown!

   This is also the place where the U.S. is most afraid of Chinese. Hundreds of years have passed. They have integrated Germans, British, and Italians, but they can't integrate Chinese. Do you think they are afraid?

   This is almost the case in Copper Country. Although the situation in Ithaca is better, some people in the upper class of Copper Country have always held a certain degree of hostility towards people in this region.

   It is precisely because of these concerns that Chen Xutang and the others have always wanted to develop the Karapag Islands and reserve a piece of land for the people.

"...Especially in the 1960s and 1970s, large-scale anti-Chinese trends broke out all over the world. Massacres against Chinese broke out in South Vietnam and Indonesia~www.ltnovel.com~ Even the Indonesians did it again in the 1990s. In South America, it happened secretly, so we can’t help but prevent. When my elders left, they all told me that the Karapag Islands must not Giving up, to develop as a foundation, I have always kept in mind..."

   Chen Xu and Tang brothers and Xiao Feng talked about their thoughts. Xiao Feng couldn't help but also respect them. In this era, there are really not many people who can still have such persistence.

"But you can see the environment on the island now, Mr. Xiao. It's only been a few decades since it has been powered on, and people can only make a living by fishing and farming. There is no internet connection. Usually, it’s one of the few entertainments that everyone can watch together, Yonglu. All kinds of movie and TV discs sent back from China, the island does not even have a decent shopping mall or movie theater. How do you think it can develop? Even people can’t keep it! Especially in recent years, more and more Young people all left Meihua Island one after another, went to Ithaca or the capital to live and go to the world. We can only be in a hurry!"

   After listening to the Chen family, Xiao Feng finally understood that it was the unique sense of crisis of the Chinese that made them so anxious!

   "Ten years ago, there were 200,000 people living on the nearby islands, but now there are only more than 50,000, and most of them are elderly people, not even children... Hey!"

   Chen Xutang also sighed and shook his head. There are fewer and fewer people on this island, and it might be deserted one day.

   And what he worries most is that at that time, the government of the Copper Kingdom can justly engage in tactics here, and then their back road will be completely cut off!

   This is what they fear most!
