Blackstone Code

Raymond is a botanical expert. Botanists are still a very popular profession these days because this subject has a deep connection with agriculture.

Agriculture and animal husbandry may not be an industry that particularly attracts people's attention. Even many federal people still use their stupid and backward minds to believe that so-called farmers should wear overalls and long rubber shoes and excrement in various fields. Dealing with wheat.

This is people's stereotyped prejudice against agriculture and animal husbandry. They always think that this is the image of agriculture and animal husbandry.

But in fact, this is not the case. Agriculture and animal husbandry are developing at a high speed and are becoming more and more important.

Since the Federation liberalized its immigration policy in the past few years, the Federation's population has grown at the fastest rate in history, although these growth numbers are not numbers of natural birth growth.

The population of the Federation has increased dramatically, and correspondingly, the Federation's food supply has begun to become tense.

In the past, people imported various high-quality agricultural and animal husbandry products from abroad just to satisfy their pursuit of higher-quality food.

Now, people have to import a large amount of cheap food to meet the needs of the people at the bottom, otherwise the bottom society will face the dilemma of lack of food.

This also prompted the rapid development of agriculture and animal husbandry, and the value of agriculture and animal husbandry also began to increase.

This has also led to various botanists starting to go uphill. The federal government and various private institutions are allocating funds frantically, hoping that these botanists can research more advantageous crops to meet the growing food gap in the federation. .

Every botanical expert has at least three or five projects in hand, and there are still a bunch of projects lined up.

However, even though research on grains is becoming more and more popular, compared with real cash crops, especially those high-end cash crops, the returns are still inferior.

When the call came to the laboratory from Shishi, Professor Raymond immediately put down his research work and came to Shishi, waiting for Mr. Lynch's summons.

After waiting for about twenty minutes, he didn't feel dissatisfied at all. After all, everyone in the Federation knew that the time of rich people was precious, and they were busy all the time.

After nearly half an hour, the secretary finally opened the door, and then Mr. Lynch walked in, standing near the door.

Professor Raymond suddenly walked over quickly with a smile on his face, and stretched out his hands from a distance. After stopping the approach, Lin Qicai reservedly stretched out a hand, which was held by Raymond's two hands.

"Mr. Lynch, as soon as I heard that you had some problems that needed to be solved, I immediately put down my research project and came here. Is there anything I can do for you?"

Professor Raymond is over sixty years old, and his hair has turned gray, but the way he behaves at this moment is not what a sixty-year-old man should behave.

At least, he shouldn't be so humble.

But who can guarantee that his personality is noble and unwavering in the face of money?

Even the president is a slave to money, let alone a professor. We shouldn't be so mean to him!

"Thank you very much for taking the time to come. There are indeed some questions that are bothering me. I need someone to explain them to me. I heard that you are an expert in this field..."

Lynch let go of his hand and entered the room with Professor Raymond. After sitting down respectively, Lynch asked, "Professor Raymond, I wonder if you have enough tobacco leaves, especially the tobacco leaves used to make Cleaver?" understanding?"

Professor Raymond nodded, "I have been studying various tobacco leaves for a long time. I dare not say that I am an authority in this field, but basically there is nothing in this field that I don't know. "

The characteristic confidence and quality of action of the Federal people shone in this professor.

Lynch nodded slightly to express his approval of the other party's narrative, "Professor Raymond..."

"You can call me Raymond, that's what my friends call me!"

"Okay, Raymond, the main tobacco leaves we use currently come from Marillo. Is there any substitute for it?"

"I mean, if we don't continue to use Marillo tobacco, are there tobaccos anywhere else in the world that can compete with it?"

The monopoly of raw materials is always the most difficult obstacle to overcome. Mariro's general will definitely not let this profitable business slip away from his hands easily. He will definitely get it back in other ways.

After he tries some methods but fails to achieve effective results, he will control the price of raw materials, which is exactly what Lynch least wants to see.

The most important part of the huge profits every moment is the ridiculously low price of raw materials.

In addition, they had established a relationship with the border and anti-smuggling teams, and a large amount of tobacco that was not actually legal was shipped in at a price that was equivalent to giving it away, processed into Clove, and then sold at sky-high prices.

Once the price of raw materials rises, the profits of Keluofu and Shishi will not be so high.

Professor Raymond pondered for a while, but he did not speak blindly. He was used to dealing with these rich people and knew how to deal with them.

After pondering for a moment, he slowly said, "I'm not sure what the quality you are talking about corresponds to. We can break it down into fragrance, nicotine content, potency, rich elements, etc. for comparison."

"Flavoring is not my specialty, and I'm not sure, but if we just look at the element content in each tobacco leaf as a reference, then I think Marillo's tobacco leaves are not necessary."

Professor Raymond's affirmative reply made Lynch very happy. He had a smile on his face, "It's really a pleasure to chat with you. Maybe we will give you some topics soon. I hope you can spare the time." Study it for us.”

Professor Raymond's well-maintained face suddenly broke into smiles. The subject was money, and at least a quarter of the large experimental funds could flow into his wallet, or even more.

"This is what I should do, Mr. Lynch."

Lynch nodded, his attitude more gentle, "I have a doubt."

"Please say."

"Nagalil is close to the equator. Why haven't I heard of any tobacco leaves in Nagaril that are worthy of praise?"

Professor Raymond laughed again, he knew this question too.

"Mr. Lynch, just because there is none in Nagaril, it does not mean that there is none elsewhere. In fact, there are at least five varieties of high-quality tobacco leaves around the equator."

"I think the reason why we don't use these tobacco leaves is not that they are not good enough, but that they are too far away from us."

This was a very interesting answer. Lynch looked into Professor Raymond's eyes. The latter only looked at each other for a second, then lowered his head slightly and looked away to show respect.

The distance is too far and the freight is too high. This is indeed a problem.

Marillo's high-quality tobacco leaves are right next to the Federation. First of all, it saves a lot on shipping costs. Coupled with the corruption at the border and the anti-smuggling team, more space is released on tax issues.

It is obviously not cost-effective to buy tobacco leaves from other places or grow them yourself.

Labor costs, freight costs, and losses are enough to shrink profits every moment.

However, there is no choice now.

"Professor Raymond, I want to entrust you with Nagaril to select some tobacco leaves suitable for local cultivation for us. If you have watched the news recently, you should know what happened..."

Professor Raymond nodded. Every moment the shares changed dramatically, which was equivalent to cutting off the connection between every moment and Marillo.

It can even be said that this multinational company became a federal local company under Lynch's intervention. This is definitely not a small matter.

At the same time, this also means that Lynch may not be able to buy enough tobacco.

Seeing Professor Raymond nodding, Lynch continued, "I plan to open a huge tobacco plantation in Nagaril."

"There is a suitable planting season all year round. We can ignore winter and continue to harvest tobacco leaves."

Professor Raymond nodded in agreement, "That's true. There are at least three seasons a year. If we choose breeding and select some mutated or optimized seeds, maybe each season will be a harvest."

Lynch stood up, followed closely by Professor Raymond. He stretched out his hand, "Then it's up to you, Raymond. When will you have time?"

Professor Raymond held Lynch's hand tightly again, "Anytime, anywhere!"

Ever since he showed his flaws every time, Lynch was thinking about another thing - how to find more things to do for the people of Nagaril.

In the past two years, after the federal capitalists have instilled consciousness, the locals have gradually begun to get used to some new things. Coupled with Akumali's undisputed approach, the future direction of Nagaril has been determined.

If you want these people to be satisfied with the status quo and not want to change, you have to find something for them to do, so that they can be proactive and spontaneous, and do not want to change from the bottom of society. Only then can we truly solidify the social form and structure.

The simplest thing is to "send money" to them.

It sounds weird, but to the people of Nagaril, this is giving money.

Allowing them to grow cash crops and food, in addition to satisfying some political needs, can also allow some Nagarils who want change but are unwilling to work for the federals to find a way out.

Not everyone will choose to obey the requirements and management of the Federation, but will voluntarily work for the Federation.

There are always people, like those in Al-Shabaab in Nagalir, some of them still don't want to work for foreigners.

So growing cash crops and food obviously meets their purpose of changing their lives without changing their original intentions.

They just cultivate the land and then sell the output to other Nagarils (small grain merchants, small tobacco merchants). No one will tarnish their beliefs and pursuits, and they are still free.

Secondly, Nagaril’s cheap labor can save a lot of money. In addition, the new federation of Nagaril is actively moving closer to the federation, and the preferential tax policies will only become larger and larger. In the end, the only payment is , there may be only shipping fee left.

This is precisely the least of the problems. The Federation's developed shipping can solve any problem for Lynch. He can even buy some freighters to carry these things.
