silent farm

Chapter 53 "Peaceful" Communication

Li Sheng also laughed.Indeed, now that the information is advanced, the GreenHe organization will also promote its ideas through some Facebook.Recently, Luhe in Brazil has focused on Silent Farm, so the farm is quite famous.Although it is notorious for profit-seeking, it can be regarded as letting people know the name of Silent Farm.

But of course Silent Farm will not allow outsiders to attack.As a Facebook expert, Thomas often publishes his experiences in the Amazon jungle on Facebook, which also attracts many fans.So posting a photo of the title deed on his Facebook and citing Brazilian law is enough to prove that Silent Farm did not break the law.

Moreover, the land that has been cut down has grown to the knee-high grass of an adult, and the comparison with the previous surface also proves that Silent Farm is not really only destroying the environment.

"We don't have much pressure now. Let them go." Li Sheng said while eating. "With Babur and Zhang here, there is no need to worry about them daring to mess around."

This piece of land is his private territory, and the security team led by Babur and Zhang Dingbian is heavily armed.If they dare to mess around, it is reasonable to shoot.So the most they can do is shout slogans.

Silent Farm is not a big company, and there is no need to pay attention to any corporate image.Slogans are chanted by them.As long as he doesn't care, the pressure will naturally fall on the other party.To protest, they also need a cost.

And that's not just the economic cost.

The farm forbids them to drive up or bring animals up.Unless they sent a helicopter to deliver supplies, they would have to walk at least thirty kilometers to get supplies.If they can survive until the end of the rainy season, Li Sheng can write them a congratulatory letter.

Anthony laughed too.This matter will not have any impact on the farm for the time being.At the same time, his comrades-in-arms have arrived at the farm. Although only eight of them came in the end, at least eight of them have salaries higher than those of American white-collar workers, which is already very good.

The rainy season is still going on, but the rain is not as abundant as before.In the plain area at this time, the rain mainly comes from convective rain, and the frontal rain is relatively small.

The Greenhe organization still insists on protesting on the farm, and there are still cameras filming it—it is the Greenhe organization.But everything on the farm is working fine.The trees that should be felled are still being felled, and the trees that should be harvested are still being harvested.

Large agricultural machinery from the United States rumbled to work in the paddy fields.Everything is in order.As the boss, Li Sheng certainly didn't need to do it himself, otherwise why would he pay the workers so much?
His farmer is different from other traditional farmers.Many traditional farmers around the world are always on the go.The clearest example is the Australian farmer.Perhaps their farms are thousands of square kilometers, or tens of thousands of square kilometers.There are only a few thousand to tens of thousands of cattle raised in it, but there are probably only three or four workers, and then the whole family has to be busy with this farm.

What kind of farm is the so-called traditional farm?It is a farm that makes money by breeding and planting.

Now Li Sheng's Silent Farm is of course a traditional farm.The area used by this farm is not necessarily larger than those real large farms in Australia.But the number of workers recruited far outnumbered them.There are nearly a hundred Chinese workers alone.This wage expenditure may be much higher than the income of their entire farm.

To spend so much money and do it yourself, Li Sheng, the boss, has failed too much.

Of course, the income of Silent Farm will be much higher than theirs.First of all, he hardly needs to spend too much money on breeding animals.The main cost is cattle breed and labor.

As for hydropower, electricity comes from wind power and solar power.water?Will it be missing?

There are large-scale agricultural machinery, although Silent Farm has more than [-] acres of rice fields, but he doesn't have to worry about it at all.Zhang Feng has the experience to deal with these things.

Fortunately, the construction company entered the site ahead of time and built a lot of warehouses—although it was a model house, it was better than nothing.These 40 acres of paddy fields are estimated to be able to harvest nearly [-] tons of rice.Without these warehouses, so much rice does not know where to put it.

He was worried for a while at first, but it seemed that everything was going well.He also felt relieved.He wanted to sleep late that day, but was woken up by the slogans of the organization.

Everyone has getting angry, it's just a matter of how much.

After Li Sheng washed up, he fried a few pumpkin pancakes and put them on a plate. Then he moved a chair and sat less than 20 meters away from the green and organizations shouting slogans. He raised his legs and ate the pumpkin beautifully. cake.

His provocative attitude made the people in Luhe organization feel uneasy.The camera pans to him too.He also raised the plate in his hand, and then took a bite of the pumpkin pie held in the other hand, with an intoxicated expression on his face.

Luhe and the people in the organization made him laugh angrily at this gesture.But they can't do anything about him.They can protest, but if they still beat people in other people's territory, then they are not a peace organization, but a terrorist organization.

Greenhe has been protesting for almost two months.They came every day at first, and then every now and then.Every time, I don't know where to collect signatures, asking Li Sheng to stop cutting down trees.But Li Sheng was too lazy to see them.So their so-called protests and petitions are just talking about themselves.

Now that Li Sheng took the initiative to appear in front of them, they didn't know what to do.

The leader of this group is Santa Cruz Nadal, a middle-aged man with gray hair and beard. His curly hair and beard may look very sexy to Western women.

He is the head of the Santarem Green and Organization.Previously led protests against Cargill's terminal in Santarém.In the end, although it did not stop Cargill's terminal construction.But it also forced Cargill to announce that it would not buy grain from farmers who illegally cleared forests-of course, this promise is as good as it sounds, and whoever is serious will lose.

That's a pretty good result.Because the publicity of the Green and Organization is that the construction of the pier in Santarém will strengthen the circulation of corn and soybeans, which will lead to more serious damage to the Amazon rainforest.With Cargill's promise, they can be considered to have "accounted for".

Cargill's terminal plan was not stopped because they did not violate Brazilian laws.It's the same as Silent Farm deforesting.They can protest, but Silent Farm is still cutting down, because Silent Farm is not illegal.

Santa Cruz knows that by continuing like this, the Green and the organization will look like a clown to the discerning in this protest.So he has been looking for an opportunity to have a good talk with Li Sheng.It's just that Li Sheng has always refused - without any excuses, just refused.

Now that Li Sheng finally appeared in front of him, he knew it was a rare opportunity.He walked up to Li Sheng and stretched out his hand: "Li, nice to meet you. I'm Santa Cruz Nadal."

Although Li Sheng was not very satisfied with the other party's protest behavior, superficial politeness was still required.He stood up and took out a tissue to wipe his hands before shaking hands with the other party: "Hello, I also want to say that I am very happy to meet you. But you have disturbed my sweet dreams."

"Okay, I'm sorry. But if you're willing to stop deforestation, I don't think we'll bother you."

"I think we are doing things according to the law, and you have no right to disturb me." Li Sheng said with a smile. "Or does the United Nations give you the right to interfere with the laws of sovereign states?"

Santa Cruz made a gesture to stop the shooter, and then said to Li Sheng, "Li, I think we need to communicate."

Li Sheng also knew that although they hadn't really caused trouble, it was not a problem to shout slogans from time to time, so he nodded and said, "We really lack communication."

"It's nice that we have the first consensus," Santa Cruz said with a smile.

Li Sheng made a gesture of invitation and invited him to his wooden villa: "In fact, we have a lot of consensus. For example, environmental protection."

Santa Cruz took one look at him and said, "If that's the case, I think we'll have a nice conversation. Can I join some members?"

Li Sheng smiled and said, "Of course, my living room can seat many people."

Sheng Cruise did not let all the members go in together, but called a middle-aged woman, a young man and a young woman.The young man is the photographer.

After entering the villa, Li Sheng led everyone into the living room, invited them to sit down, and said, "Would you like coffee or tea?"

Living room with wooden sofa, green and organized people sitting together.

"Coffee, thanks."

"Tea."

"Water, please."

After Li Sheng finished his drinks, he sat down opposite them.

Santa Cruz took a sip of his coffee and said, "Good coffee."

Li Sheng smiled and said, "It's a wild coffee I found by accident."

"This is Linda, the deputy secretary-general of the Santarem Green and Organization, and this is Jenny, the clerk. This is Jack, our secretary." Santa Cruz introduced several of his companions.

Li Sheng shook hands and greeted them one by one.

Santa Cruz quickly cut to the chase: "Lee, I think we need to talk about your deforestation."

Li Sheng knew that the theme of their protest was the deforestation of Silent Farm, so he nodded and said, "Of course. I also hope that we can reach a consensus."

"Fine. But can we make a video?"

Li Sheng glanced at Jack, smiled and said, "I hope you can make me look more handsome."

The atmosphere seems to be a lot more harmonious.Jack stood up and found an angle that could capture everyone, turned on the camera, and gestured to Santa Cruz.

Santa Cruz smiled and said, "Lee, we know that your Silent Farm has a large area of ​​land, including large areas of grassland and rainforest."

Li Sheng nodded and said, "Yes, according to my title deed, I own more than [-] square kilometers of vacant land, but it has now been turned into grassland. There is also [-] square kilometers of rainforest."

Hearing what he said, Santa Cruz knew that the other party wanted to seize the topic of legality, so he said: "According to our understanding, your grassland is very fertile and the pasture is very delicious, and it may even be the longest pasture in the world." Good prairie. Besides, you have eighty thousand acres of arable land, all devoted to growing grain. And no less than forty thousand pigs."

"You know Silent Farm very well. You're right in everything you say."

"But why are you still not satisfied?"

Li Sheng smiled and said: "Because dissatisfaction is the driving force for development. Just like your country Portugal, it was because of dissatisfaction that it became a world power. So dissatisfaction is not a bad thing."

"Like Portugal back then, dissatisfaction destroys a lot of things. Portugal did benefit a lot because of its greed, but the conquered areas suffered a lot from it. This is our lesson."

Li Sheng shook his head and said, "You're very honest. But, that's because Portugal is greedy, and I'm just not satisfied. If Portugal manages well, instead of expanding endlessly and searching for precious metals, I don't think Britain will have a chance to rise .So greed was the root cause of the decline of the Portuguese Empire on which the sun never sets. And I developed it in a planned and restrained way. I don’t think it will cause a devastating blow to the rainforest I own for 20% of the rainforest.”

"But that will cause a chain reaction?" Santa Cruz didn't know how to refute Li Sheng's words.Because Li Sheng didn't actually say anything about his farm.

"I don't quite understand the so-called chain reaction."

Santa Cruz knew he was pretending not to know.But this is what he likes, because it gives him a chance to make his case clear: "Your plan to cut down [-] square kilometers of rainforest this time. It will play a very bad role. It may make private rainforests nationwide. severely damaged."

Li Sheng laughed and said: "I keep my duty and operate legally, which means I have fulfilled my duty as a citizen. If others illegally cut down the rainforest because of my example, shouldn't there be legal supervision? If it is legally cut down, So what can you blame? Or should Brazil's laws be based on your green and organizational will?"
