My Strength Does Not Allow Me to Low-key

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

With the opening of more and more celebrity chef manufacturing chain stores, their beef consumption is also increasing. Basically, they consume three to four tons of beef every day to make cooking bags.

And this amount will increase in the future, and it will be difficult to cover up the source of beef simply by "importing" from Belarus.

In fact, the best way at this time is to buy a few pastures and own mutton to form a closed-loop industrial chain to reduce risks.

In China, the good pasture areas have basically been taken up by those dairy companies, and if you do captive breeding yourself, the cost is too high now.

First of all, raising cattle is a high-pollution industry, and it is difficult for you to obtain the qualification for environmental impact assessment. Secondly, domestic labor costs and feed costs are not low. In addition, miscellaneous vaccines, anti-bacteria and other problems have led to the current domestic cattle raising. The cost remains high.

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

First of all, the best place is Russia. It is close to the city, the place is big, the environment for farming is good, there is plenty of land, the price is low, and the labor is not expensive.

When Xiao Feng went to Russia for inspection, he found that the price of beef there was really impressive. For the price of one catty of beef in China, you can buy three catties of high-quality beef in the regular market there. If you go to a small market in the countryside, you You can buy four catties 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 rush into the domestic market, completely destroying the domestic beef cattle breeding industry.

So we had to find other suitable places, not to mention Europe, where there are many countries, and the land is generally not open to the outside world.

There are only a few regions in the United States, Australia and Canada that are suitable for overseas pastures to invest in.

But the problem now is that none of these countries are particularly friendly to China. There is no need for the United States to think about it. The pastures in Australia and Canada are not very easy to buy now.

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

And after Jesse investigated the investment environment in Copper Country and Ithaca last time, he gave several investment suggestions.

Among them, the concept of island farming caught Xiao Feng's eyes.

There are more than a hundred large and small islands in the Kalapago Archipelago under the jurisdiction of Ithaca, only five of which are inhabited, and the rest are deserted islands.

The total area of ​​these islands can be more than 500 square kilometers, the large ones are more than 100 square kilometers, and the small ones are only a few hundred square meters.

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

And this kind of thing has been done by the Spaniards and the Dutch before.

In the era of the explosion of navigation in the 16th century, the Spaniards took the lead in completing global travel, and after that, the Spaniards sent out expedition fleets one after another.

These fleets crossed 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 mainland.

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

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

So simply a lot of expedition ships, when they go to sea, they will bring a lot of chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep on board, on the one hand, they can eat fresh meat at critical times.

On the other hand, after the discovery of desert islands, the crew put cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks on those desert islands, allowing them to reproduce freely, and then passing ships could go to the islands to catch these cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks as supplies. .

Both the Spaniards and the Dutch insisted on doing this, so in the eighteenth century, countless bison and wild sheep lived on the Pacific islands between the South American continent and the Australian mainland.

Because there were no natural enemies, those islands became a paradise for these cattle and sheep. They multiplied in large numbers on the islands, and by the way, they greatly helped the sailors of that era to improve their lives.

This habit has been maintained until modern times. With the development of navigation technology and food storage technology, sailors no longer go to the island for cattle and sheep.

Later, the government of the Tong Kingdom made a huge fortune by hunting and killing bison and goats on the islands in their waters.

So now on those deserted islands, it is rare to see bison and wild sheep. On some private islands close to the South American mainland, there are still many pastures, large and small, where cattle and sheep are raised.

And Jesse put forward this suggestion in the investigation report to Xiao Feng, and for Xiao Feng who lacked a reasonable cover for the source of beef, it can be said that it hit it off.

Those deserted islands have no water, electricity, or 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 food, drink, and no natural enemies, it is simply a godsend. .

And if farming is carried out on it, it will save a lot of trouble for human beings. There is no world for cattle and sheep, and there is no worry about cattle and sheep being eaten. Surrounded by the sea, there is no fear of cattle and sheep running away.

There are plenty of plants on the island, and there is no need to prepare food for cattle and sheep. They can also wander around the island, and they don’t need to go to stocking at fixed points every day. How much labor and feed costs are saved!

It can be said that you only need to throw the cattle and sheep on the island every year, and come directly to 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 this archipelago is just below the center of the Pacific Ocean, and it is 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 felt that this is simply the perfect island ranch!

But originally he was the only one who wanted to take a few islands from here, and it might cost a lot of money to raise them, but he didn't expect the two Chen brothers to welcome them with both hands and feet, which made him strange up.

Are these two brothers really so generous?

"Yes! This is absolutely possible!"

The attitude of Chen Xu and Tang brothers on the opposite side completely confused Xiao Feng. Could it be that they really want to give those islands to themselves?

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

"Mr. Xiao, don't be surprised. It's actually like this. When the fathers took over the islands in the early years, it was to leave a way for our people to retreat. If we can't get along with those people from the Tong Kingdom in the future, we can retreat to the islands." On. For more than a hundred years, although we have gotten along well with the Araucans and native whites, we have always..."

Xiao Feng understands what the Chen family brothers mean, they are Chinese after all! One of the most difficult ethnic groups 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, if you look at Malays in Southeast Asia, 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 most powerful country in the world, the Chinese still retain their living habits, and Chinatown!

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

The current situation in the Copper Country is almost the same. Although the situation in the Ithaca area is better, some people in the upper class of the Copper Country have always held a certain degree of hostility towards the people in this area.

And Chen Xutang and the others were worried about this, so they always wanted to develop the Kalapago Islands and reserve a piece of private land for the clansmen.

"...Especially in the 1960s and 1970s, large-scale anti-Chinese outbreaks broke out all over the world. Massacres against Chinese broke out in South Vietnam and Indonesia, and even in the 1990s The Indonesians did it again. In fact, it happened secretly in South America, so we have to guard against it. When my elders were leaving, they all told me that the Kalapago Islands must not be abandoned and should be developed as a foundation Wake up, I will always remember it in my heart..."

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

"But Mr. Xiao, you have seen the current environment on the island. It has only been connected to electricity for decades, and people can only make a living by fishing and farming. There is no Internet access. The few entertainments in normal times are everyone watching together. Yonglu All kinds of movies and TV discs sent back from Huaguo. There is not even a decent shopping mall or movie theater on the island. How can you develop? You can’t even keep people! Especially in recent years, more and more people Young people are leaving Plum Blossom Island one after another, going to Ithaca or the capital to live and venture into the world. We can only be anxious!"

Hearing what the Chen family brothers said, Xiao Feng finally understood, it turned out 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 people left, and most of them are old 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 is most worried about is that by that time, the government of the Bronze Kingdom will be able to engage in tricks here justifiably, and by then their way out will be completely cut off!

This is what they are most afraid of!
