Super Ranch: Brothers come to Africa to farm

Chapter 431 The sun never sets on an empire that is short of food!
In this regard, Wang Lu had nothing to hide. Since the other party had such an attitude, he had naturally investigated it in advance.

After nodding, Wang Lu also asked curiously:
"Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also interested in agriculture?"

Crown Prince William on the side saw Wang Lu admitting, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes, but then he shook his head and laughed:

"As a member of the royal family, you must have a certain understanding of domestic affairs. In fact, the food problem has always been a big problem facing the UK!"

Wang Lu was a little surprised when he heard this. It was obvious that he had no idea about the food issue that Crown Prince William mentioned.

After all, I was a social animal before, so who would care about the food problems of the British people thousands of miles away.

"Due to the over-development of animal husbandry, the scale of agriculture in the entire UK has been reduced a lot, and the food self-sufficiency rate is only 60.00%!"

Listening to Crown Prince William reporting this data skillfully, Wang Lu raised his eyebrows, and then the other party looked at Wang Lu and said seriously:

“Every winter, 60.00% of the food gap needed by the entire British region is imported from Europe. You know what this means for a big country, especially after Brexit. Due to various reasons, the food imported from Europe can no longer be imported. There is no way to return to the previous low price!”

Wang Lu was a little surprised when he heard this!
He never thought that Britain would face such a serious food problem.

Of course, it's not a matter of life and death. After all, it's a peaceful time now, and you can always buy food by spending more money.

It's just that when the UK was still within the EU, it could purchase a large amount of European food at low prices. Now after Brexit, due to tariffs and various terms, European food is no longer cheap and has increased. The cost is very high for the entire country.

Moreover, due to the rapid development of animal husbandry, there are not many farmers in the entire UK willing to grow low-profit food. This food shortage will become more and more serious as time goes by!

No matter what, food is one of the most important strategic materials in every country, and food issues will not be ignored.

The reason why Crown Prince William approached Wang Lu this time is also very straightforward. Wheat is the most consumed cereal product in the UK and even in Europe. Countries that use bread as their staple food are basically inseparable from this important food crop.

When the proportion of grain planting is already difficult to recover, even if the British government intervenes, it can only prevent the livestock industry from taking too much of the grain planting industry. At this time, if a wheat variety with higher yield than ordinary varieties can be introduced, It seems very necessary!
You know, the yield per mu of wheat cultivated by Wang Lu is more than 30.00% higher than that of ordinary wheat varieties. This is a very attractive data!
Especially yesterday, Prince William and his family personally tasted the steamed buns steamed by Lao Wei using flour ground from wheat produced in the pasture. They could also personally witness the taste and quality of this new variety of wheat.

"Mr. Wang, I sincerely hope to introduce the wheat varieties you cultivated to the entire UK. This is also the main purpose of my trip! I know that you have registered a patent for the new variety. If you are willing, I will let the Ministry of Agriculture Officials will fly over immediately and the remuneration paid to you will never be lower than the market price!"

Crown Prince William stated his purpose very frankly!
When Wang Lu heard this, he did not rush to agree, but said frankly: "Your Royal Highness, in fact, I have authorized the new wheat variety patent to the Nongken Group as an agent. I believe you should know about this Chinese company. If you are willing, You can definitely communicate with the Farm Reclamation Group and I can provide you with some help!"

Although Wang Lu signed a patent agency contract with the Nongken Group, in fact, as the patent owner of the new variety, he actually has the independent power to license it to other collectives or units, which means that he can communicate with Crown Prince William in private Make this deal.

But Wang Lu did not choose to do this. He would not do anything to damage his credibility. Even if he wanted to reach this deal, he should at least say hello to the Nongren Group.

Especially on the strategic issue of grain, Wang Lu clearly knew how much profits or benefits other than money the Nongken Group had made for the country by relying on the patent authorization of new varieties of rice and corn last year.

After hearing what Wang Lu said, Crown Prince William directly asked again:

"It would be great if Mr. Wang could help us contact the Farm Reclamation Group. In fact, I know that several European countries are already in contact with them!"

Wang Lu almost turned into a good guy when he heard this.

This crown prince is the crown prince. He figured out this little trick of demolishing a house and opening the windows. Why did he plan to find a matchmaker between himself and the Farm Reclamation Group from the beginning?
Of course, it would be even better for Crown Prince William if he could directly obtain authorization for new wheat varieties from Wang Lu!But he also knew that the possibility was very small!
If Wang Lu was a profit-seeking guy, he wouldn't have given the authorization of new varieties to the Farm Reclamation Group!
Of course, what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't know is that although Wang Lu has a patriotic heart, he is still too lazy to pay attention to those complicated contracts and interpersonal interactions.

It is foreseeable that if Wang Lu personally handles the patent transfer or authorization of this new grain variety, then the entire Sanders legal team and financial team will be extremely busy, and even Wang Lu himself may not be able to handle it. I have to meet with agricultural companies or other people from different countries all day long.

Don’t even think about your own ranch being quiet!
Now that the words have come to this, Wang Lu can only spread his hands and say:
"Of course! It's an honor!"

It has to be said that Crown Prince William chose a very clever way to put the UK one step ahead of many European countries in the pursuit of new wheat varieties.

After wandering around for a while, the conversation between Wang Lu and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ended immediately. Xiao Wangcai in front also let the three little princes and princesses down.

The three little guys who wandered around on the lion's back seemed very excited. They even became familiar with Xiao Wangcai. They also expressed their gratitude to Wangcai very politely before returning to their mother. Princess Kate's.

Seeing that their respective husbands had finished talking about business, Princess Kate and Zhou Rou came over with their children and continued chatting.
