Volume 3 Summer Rain Chapter 0299: Village Chicken
It's just a shadow. It is said that girls change a lot when they grow up. The Sachiko Kamachi in front of her is the type who has not yet completed the transformation. She looks very ordinary and can't stand out at all in the crowd.
The tennis ball flew back and forth. Nan Yi couldn't watch any more after watching two balls. The level of this "famous player" was too amateur. His level was only slightly better than his who had only played a few times.
Of course, Nan Yi's embellishment technique was exaggerated. After all, he had practiced it before, so it wasn't too bad.
The process of their playing basketball has a sense of déjà vu like a comic. The expressions and celebration actions are very comic-like. Except for the fantasy of technical level, everything else is realistic in the comic.
After going back and forth for more than ten minutes, she managed to save the face of senior Ueto Masami, but Nan Yi could see that she had also tried her best.
"Thank you for your guidance, Senior."
As soon as the friendly match ended, Sachiko Kamachi walked up to Masami Ueto and bowed.
"Kamichi Sachiko, please work hard. You have a good chance of winning the county competition next year. Try to participate in the national competition and dominate the country."
"Hai, I will definitely work hard." Sachiko Kamachi bowed again and said.
But when the serious process was over, Kamachi Sachiko became less serious and took off the reserved look on her face. She caught up with Ueto Masami and asked, "Masami-sister, is that your boyfriend over there?"
"No, he is my colleague."
"Really? He's very handsome."
"Really, he is my boss, and he is here on a business trip with me. Sachiko, I won't say much to you, we still have many places to go, see you next time."
"Okay, bye, senior."
Ueto Masami went to say goodbye to Kashiwagi Masami, then took Nan Yi to visit other parts of the school. Then she left the school and took Nan Yi to a place she found interesting.
I stayed in Isehara City for two days, during which time I visited Ueto Masami's home. I then asked Ueto Masami to ask Kudo Haruko about the progress of the dismemberment case. I learned that the case was still under investigation, but the cordon at Narayama had been removed.
On the third day, Nan Yi and his party set out and first went to the ancient village of Aozhu. The arable land here was all on a slope, with ups and downs. At most seven or eight acres of arable land could be connected on a horizontal plane. More than two hundred acres of land were scattered in more than thirty places.
Fortunately, it is not far away, and there is a spring on the hillside. After asking around, I found out that it never dries up all year round, so it will be very convenient for irrigation in the future.
"President, I have discussed with the previous owner. They can harvest this crop of rice and then hand over the land to Baoguo Migu. The rice here will be harvested in the middle of next month."
"Um."
Nan Yi took the test tube and collected soil and water samples himself, then stood there looking around. It turned out that the Japanese farmers were quite meticulous in their work. Compared with the current rural areas in China, this place seemed more tidy and cleaner.
While each family is cultivating their own crops independently, there is also a taste of unified planning, and the unity also has their own temperament.
"Yami, when you get back, please make some arrangements. We will expand the business of sending Ikeda trainees to Myanmar and Laos. These two countries are also major rice exporting countries. There are many people who can take care of the land. Recruit a group of them for us."
“Do we need to recruit farmers from Japan?”
"Of course, we recruit locally , and at least 20% of the staff must be Japanese. For example, here we recruit from nearby villages, so that it is convenient to deal with the relationship with other farmers.
In addition, the trainees’ residence should not be arranged near the village. Find a place that is a little further away. It can be a ready-made building, or you can buy land and build dormitories yourself. In short, it should be far away from the village.
The management should be stricter. Trainees are not allowed to have sexual relations with women in the land area, including love and prostitution. If they are found, they will be fired immediately. "
"President, do you need to be so strict?"
"Of course we need to. The relationship with farmers is the most difficult to handle. This is the same in any country. If we don't guard against it, if someone with ulterior motives finds something wrong with us, we will be in trouble."
"So how do trainees vent their energy?"
"Farming doesn't require you to be busy every day. You can take time off in batches when you are not busy. As a man, even if you can't speak Japanese, you can definitely find the right path. If one person knows it, everyone else will know it too."
As a man, you can save money on your own food and drink, but you will never treat your loved ones, relatives and friends, especially your second brother badly.
Nan Yi worked on a construction site when he was a teenager in his previous life. He had seen too many migrant workers who would find playmates for their younger brothers as soon as they got their paychecks. The deep love between brothers was evident.
It was too strange to discuss this topic with a female subordinate, so Nan Yi immediately changed the subject, "Fan Shengzhi, has Isaac cultivated Baiyu No. 1?"
"They have been bred. The incubator only needs 20 days, and the growth cycle can be compressed to one month. However, they need to be raised on an assembly line with fixed activities. President, isn't this too cruel to the chickens? From birth to slaughter, they will never touch the land in their entire lives."
"As long as we don't torture and kill animals, we can't be called cruel. Survival of the fittest, and we are also forced by some force to change the path of natural selection, and we are walking in the direction designed.
You, don't learn from those animal protection organizations that have nothing better to do. They eat lamb chops and steaks on one side, and shout about protecting this and that on the other side. Do animals have to be divided into different levels?
There is no need for us humans to intervene in the animal world. As long as we encroach on their living space as little as possible, we can protect them best.
If humans are destroyed, all other creatures will flourish. But who would be willing to give up their living space to animals? The food chain is the food chain. Why do humans want to exterminate rats, cockroaches, and mosquitoes?
Isn't it their existence that hinders the healthy development of human beings?
So, cruelty and equality are actually false propositions. Thank God for giving me food, did you find that this sentence is very problematic? "
"President, forget it. I won't discuss this with you. Your twisted logic is too impeccable."
"Ha, well, be it cruel or grateful, expand the breeding of Baiyu No. 1 as soon as possible. Before that, contact the Western fast food chain brands, whether it is KFC or McDonald's, get their supply orders, and become their long-term supplier.
We can build the farms in the most suitable places according to their distribution system.
Also, we can talk about beef, lettuce, and ketchup. If we can squeeze one more category into the category, we will squeeze one more into the category.”
"President, they can't make us the only supplier."
"I know, if I can sell more of one thing, I'll sell more of it. If I can sell more, I'll sell more. The profit of a single white-feathered chicken is too low. How many white-feathered chickens do I need to sell to make 1 billion yuan a year?"
"President, if we can scale up, we can only make a few dozen cents of profit for each white-feathered chicken. If the competition is fierce, the profit may be compressed to 10 or 20 cents. To make a profit of 1 billion, we need to sell more than 5 billion white-feathered chickens."
"Well, first we need to cultivate consumers' habit of eating white-feathered chickens, build up the market, and then control the production every year to keep the white-feathered chicken supply at a semi-saturated level and prevent the price from falling too much."
"President, this is out of our control, right?"
"It is still controllable. In years when the global breeding population is relatively large, we will provide less fresh white-feathered chicken to the market and increase the amount of secondary processing; in years when the population is small, we will provide more fresh white-feathered chicken and maintain the price of white-feathered chicken in an appropriate range.
It can’t be too expensive, forcing consumers to choose other meat alternatives, nor can it be too cheap, making our profits too low.
If Shennong Nanliang wants to enter the agricultural products field, it needs to control the market well and not allow speculators to come in and speculate. Anyone who dares to come in and disrupt our market will lose all their money. "
"President, what about us ourselves? We don't manipulate the market?"
"What do you think?" Nan Yi glanced at Ueto Masami and said, "In addition to rice, the others must be controlled. Half of Shennong Nanliang's profits must come from the futures market."
"The white-feathered chicken?"
"White-feathered chicken is not like pork in the East or beef in the West, which is a necessity in the diet. It is highly substitutable and once hyped, the entire market can easily collapse. This is a long-term low-profit business, so stability is very important.
Let’s not discuss these for now, as they are things for the later stage. In the next few years, the most important thing for us is to do a good job in internal work, first making planting and breeding systematic and large-scale;
In addition, Fan Shengzhi's research team needs to be expanded because we want to develop high-tech agriculture.
I hope that in the future, one worker will be able to manage thousands of acres of land without too much human involvement, and everything will be left to artificial intelligence and machines.”
“President, the development of artificial intelligence in the world has fallen into a downturn. As the application scale of artificial intelligence continues to expand, problems such as narrow application fields of expert systems, lack of common sense knowledge, difficulty in knowledge acquisition, single reasoning method, lack of distributed functions, and difficulty in compatibility with existing databases have gradually been exposed.
Who knows how long it will take for artificial intelligence to grow to the level you need? Maybe decades, maybe hundreds of years? "
"No matter how many years it takes, this is the direction we are working towards. When we have more money , we will also invest heavily in research in the field of artificial intelligence. Just like soilless cultivation and multi-layer planting, these are also the directions we will explore in the future."
"President, will rice in the future be like the Australian eucalyptus tree, growing to more than 100 meters, and hundreds of tons of rice can be harvested from one tree?"
"Oh, I can tell you're from the city and have never been to the fields. What you're saying has no practical significance at all. For a fruit tree, most of the water and nutrients it absorbs from the soil go to the trunk and branches, leaving very little for the leaves and fruits.
It is not cost-effective in terms of input and output. Moreover, we also have to consider the issues of planting density and light. The yield per mu may not even be as good as the traditional planting method. "
"Huh? How is that possible? I'm talking about a tree that can grow hundreds of tons of rice."
"Your assumption is unrealistic. According to the law of conservation of energy, for a tree that can grow hundreds of tons of fruit, other plants cannot survive within a few kilometers of it. The energy in the land simply cannot supply it."
"Yeah?"
"Yes, Yami, you should enrich your knowledge of biology and agriculture. Let's go to Kume Village to meet that Tonomura Kozo."
