"Wei Kun, you've turned black!" Wei Wenrui used an exaggerated voice of joy to taunt his uncle, who was tanned by the sun in Africa.
Being ridiculed by his niece, who was five or six years older than him, Wei Kun could only roll his eyes. In the sparsely populated Wei family, Wei Changrong's eldest daughter had led the little ones for a long time. Wei Kun could not forget the fear of being dominated by this devil. Of course, the current Wei Kun was no longer afraid of his niece, Wei Wenrui, and Wei Kun did not have the slightest intention of provoking her.
After joking around, Wei Wenrui immediately asked, "You said that you can increase the sales of food to Europe, but what kind of food is it?"
"Don't you want to have a chat with me?" Wei Kun was speechless at Wei Wenrui's actions. Since young, this "elder" had been a self-centered person who did things to make himself happy.
Wei Wenrui's eyebrows twitched slightly, and she said in a puzzled tone, "You just sent a telegram with a dozen words on it, and I came all the way from Amsterdam to Port Sudan. Doesn't this prove that I care about you? "
As long as it was a matter of reasoning with Wei Wenrui, Wei Kun realized that he had never won. Wei Wenrui could always talk about what she thought was reasonable in a matter-of-fact tone. In the face of such a situation that was both reasonable and unreasonable, Wei Kun always felt that his brain was not enough.
After thinking for more than ten seconds, Wei Kun felt that he had found a loophole. "You came here to talk business with me."
"No, no, no!" Wei Wenrui immediately waved her hand. "You told me in the telegram that you wanted to talk business with me. And I feel that we are related by blood, so I came all the way to you. Do you think that just anyone wants to talk business with me, and I will obediently come to support you? "
Wei Kun's brain was a little confused by this speech. Logically speaking, Wei Wenrui was right. But if he looked at it from a direct point of view, if Wei Wenrui first said a few words about family matters, wouldn't that clearly prove her attitude?
"Rice." Wei Kun gave up thinking about the questions that he could not understand, and directly answered Wei Wenrui's question, "I have sent people to try to grow rice in the upper basin of the Nile River, which is similar to the Mekong River basin of Annam. If it's done well, it will ripen at least twice a year, maybe even thrice … "
Wei Wenrui had a beautiful oval face, and when he frowned, it was quite beautiful. When she listened to Wei Kun's words, she behaved like a good listener. When she spoke, her tone was almost cold and calm. "The countries in Europe that rely on rice as their staple food are concentrated in the Mediterranean and Southern Europe. Paella is probably the pinnacle of European rice consumption. All these years, I have been promoting rice to Northern Europe, but they really don't seem to be interested in eating rice. It's good that you can grow rice, but I suggest you give the rice to the Negroes. "
Wei Kun was made uncomfortable by Wei Wenrui's cold evaluation. He shouted, "Hey! Are all Europeans immortals who don't need to eat? You should at least provide some products that Europeans need. "
Seeing Wei Kun's anxious look, Wei Wenrui continued to use that clear and transparent voice that could freeze people to death to reply, "The Europeans have always needed the alfalfa and beef produced here, and the sales of alfalfa nectar in Europe are also quite good. You can increase the production of these products, especially alfalfa and alfalfa nectar. "
"Why didn't you mention beef again?" Wei Kun asked angrily.
Wei Wenrui sighed, and there was finally a disappointment in her tone. In other words, there were a lot of normal emotions. "Wei Kun, you came from Nanjing, and are used to eating all kinds of meat. What you have seen is the life in Nanjing. You feel that Europe is not much worse than Nanjing. I can tell you clearly now that all families in China can afford to eat meat, and it has nothing to do with European families who can afford to buy beef. At least more than half of European families live on potatoes and other foods. If you expect them to come up with the money to buy meat, you might as well expect them to have the courage to rebel. "
"Europe is so poor?" Wei Kun did not agree with him. Although Wei Kun, like ordinary Chinese people, was not afraid of European countries, Europe was the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution. However, Europe was the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution, and China's industrial revolution had greatly changed the country's situation, allowing its people to finally have enough to eat. Wei Kun felt that even if Europe was not as rich as China, at least it would not be too far behind China. Wei Wenrui's words burst the bubble in Wei Kun's mind.
"You have been in Europe for so long, you can't lie to me!" Wei Kun even couldn't help but question Wei Wenrui's credibility.
Wei Wenrui showed a contemptuous smile. "Hmph! There are so many people who have lived in Europe for a long time. If you don't trust me, you can find someone else. Even the economic department buys European reports from me. You don't read the basic information yourself, so it makes no sense to blame me. "
"Is Europe that bad?" Wei Kun couldn't help but soften his attitude.
"Europe is only a small place, with a total population of 300 million. Many people still live on the ice field of Russia. Russia is called the Tsar's gray livestock. Do you think livestock have any purchasing power? I thought you had a huge breakthrough in the food industry, and I admired you a lot. I didn't expect you to talk about rice business with me before you planted any rice. Let me tell you, Wei Kun, because of the tariff issue, Germany refuses to sell a large amount of cheap Eastern European food outside of Germany's borders. Even if you can produce cheap food, I'm afraid you won't be able to compete with Eastern European food. I advise you not to think about so many weird things. You should just carry forward the crops and agricultural products that you already have an advantage in. "Wei Wenrui spoke righteously, and Wei Kun was speechless after listening to him.
Seeing Wei Kun lowered his head in silence, Wei Wenrui suddenly showed a smile. "Okay, that's all. Let's talk about family. How is your wife and child? "
