Chapter 1383 The Prospect of Raising Chickens

"You can't do that, Jason, it's a good thing."

This involves the issue of the values ​​of people in the East and the West. Yang Cheng does not argue, and returns to the issue of raising chickens. In any normal country, the idea is a genius idea, in fact I don't think there is any investment return that can compare to raising chickens.

But where is there? Africa, with a current population of more than 1.2 billion people, produces 800 million tons of food every year, but each person needs 1 ton of food per year. In this way, there is still a food gap of 40%.

However, this is not a simple mathematical problem. Calculating the average value is a deceitful and self-deceiving scam. The rich earn a little more, and the average value will immediately become extremely beautiful. Similarly, if a few more poor people die, the average value will also be very beautiful.

So the food gap in Africa is much more than 40%.

You must know that most people in Africa live on only $2 a day. I can say that among the 1.2 billion people, 1 billion people are facing the problem of lack of money every day. Without money, there is no food, and then you often see Skinny children, starving women, and emaciated old men waiting to die.

Under such circumstances, do you think they still have the mood to raise chickens?

How about doing the simplest calculation: According to the price of a chicken in Africa, which costs about 5 dollars, if Bill donates 3 hens and 1 rooster to a poor family, then the family can hardly spend a few dollars, only 4 Just one chicken can own 12 chickens within 3 months, which is 250 chickens in one year. Selling chickens alone can earn 1,250 US dollars a year, which is roughly equivalent to a return of 62 times. 100,000 chickens can make 2 50,000 families can benefit from it~

Sounds optimistic and a promising future, right? "

Emma has completely entered Yang Cheng's thinking, and nodded subconsciously, "Of course, my math is not that bad, more than 1,200 US dollars, and the average income of this alone is 4 US dollars a day for living expenses, which is the original two. Times, can solve many things.

In this way, raising chickens can really help areas in West Africa get rid of poverty. "

Yang Cheng smiled lightly and reminded, "Have you forgotten what I said before? Some things can't be averaged!"

The smiles on Emma's face were the same, and then she frowned deeply. She realized that there seems to be no difference in essence between letting Africans raise chickens and letting them farm land. It takes several months to wait for the chickens to grow up, but can Africans afford to wait for several months?

I'm afraid I'll starve to death in a few days, and I have to spend time taking care of the chickens, feeding the feed, strengthening the chicken coop and other processes. Is the energy and physical strength I put in for this a consumption that can be supplemented by an extra US$2 income?

Emma's thinking fell into an endless loop again, and Yang Cheng laughed, "There has long been a saying in country Z: It is better to give a man a fish than to give a man a fish. Everyone knows that donating money can't solve practical problems, so raising chickens can." ?

Not to mention that it takes physical strength and cost to build a chicken coop first. Even if the cost is very low, only some sticks and wires are needed, but chickens also need to be vaccinated. How much does it cost? Tens of cents a chicken? What if there are 10 chickens?

Chickens seem to be relatively easy to take care of. They can be free-ranged and let them go out for food, which can save money on feed, but chickens are not controlled when they are released. Humans are not the only ones living on the African continent.

There are countless wild beasts that need to be eaten to survive. God knows how many chickens can come back from the release?

The chickens that have been raised for several months are about to be harvested, but they are all cheaper. Leopards and hyenas will not be able to cry when they want to, and the little water in the body will be wasted.

Rather than letting Africans raise chickens, it is better to invest in building a chicken farm and hire more local employees. Anyway, the local people are cheaper than food, and this can help more families. "

Yang Cheng's last sentence was just casual teasing with a little bit of sarcasm, but who would have thought that Emma would take it seriously, staring at Yang Cheng with those bright eyes that seemed to see a limited edition of Hermes, "We will Do that?"

"What?" Yang Cheng didn't react.

"Invest in chicken farms in Africa and hire local employees, and you can definitely create an ecological industry chain and help more Africans get rich."

Yang Cheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Did you take the wrong medicine? Could it be that an African dreamed about it last night? Why bother?"

Emma patted him, "It's just that after suddenly being free, I thought a lot and felt bored. Whether to join a feminist organization or become the spokesperson of your charity foundation is too utilitarian. A few words of truth mixed in, isn't it?"

"Eh~ That being said, you have to know that investing in chicken farms is not a big problem if you only consider the issue of poverty alleviation and charity. However, once you consider profit, then the problem is not so simple."

Emma didn't know much about business operations, so she frowned and asked, "What do you mean? Didn't you just say that investing in chicken farms in Africa has low labor costs?"

"That's right, but what about safety? I invest in a chicken farm. Whether it's for charity or profit, safe operation is fundamental, but to achieve this goal, it is necessary to hire security. You also know that a team of professional bodyguards is hired every year. How much is it.

Especially in Africa, where the birds don't shit, they definitely need additional subsidies. "

"Why not find it locally in Africa?"

Yang Cheng spread his hands, "I'm referring to the local African defense companies headquartered in South Africa. All of them belong to hyenas. I can't wait to drain the last drop of blood from you."

Seeing the Fairmont Hotel in front of her, Emma sighed, "Is there really no other way?"

Yang Cheng shook his head, "It's mainly not worth it. With this money, investing in research projects on intractable diseases can also help more people."

Emma nodded disappointedly, "Okay~"

Yang Cheng didn't understand why she was so disappointed. After thinking about it for a long time, in order not to make her too sad, she had to say, "Well, I will also participate in the 400 richest charity summit held by the magazine this year. When I meet Bill and Warren and the others can discuss this project, and we may be able to achieve greater things with our joint strength."

His words were ambiguous and did not give a 100% guarantee, but for Emma, ​​it was undoubtedly a hope.

After Yang Cheng said this, she couldn't help but smile bitterly, she was spending a lot of money just to smile for Bo Hongyan!

. . . . . .

The next day, the main race of the F1 Monaco Grand Prix came. In the early morning, a huge crowd of people flocked through the streets. The scene of huge crowds was not much worse than that of the football World Cup final.

All kinds of long guns and short guns gather, and the volume of the continuous shutter sound is not inferior to the roar of the engine of an F1 racing car.

In the morning, each team was busy making the final pre-match preparations, and the busiest ones at this time were the media who were actively filling various positions. Some media invited big stars to make predictions for today's game .

Yang Cheng and the others live in a hotel, and they can enjoy the top service without leaving home. Due to the fact that there are too many people outside today, Yang Cheng and Emma decided not to go out to join in the fun.

In the morning, I went to the restaurant to enjoy a wonderful brunch, and then enjoyed a top-notch spa, and the time flew by.

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, after the tire warm-up lap, 22 cars squeezed into the narrow starting point, and the battle was imminent.

The engine at idling speed creates a terrifying sound wave, which ignites the enthusiasm in people's hearts. As the five indicator lights go out at the same time, Hamilton, who is in the pole position, steps on the accelerator without thinking, directly on the floor, and seizes the first corner cut Line, with Red Bull Racing's Verstapanlaulau behind the car.

The first six drivers passed the first corner one after another, and then an accident happened.

In fact, it cannot be called an accident. On the Monaco circuit, the first turn after departure is a very big challenge. The drivers speed up one after another in order to grab the most perfect line first, but on the narrow street , the control that F1 drivers are proud of has been restricted to the maximum extent, even a slight flick of the steering wheel may collide with the car next to it.

Not to mention that the Spanish driver Sainz of the McLaren team, who was ranked 7th this time, blocked the car on purpose, or did not notice the Renault racing car rushing up behind him. Trying to speed up and squeeze through, the upper shoulder passed the first bend first.

But who would have thought that Sainz would suddenly change lanes when the latter's front nose just passed his right rear wheel, causing the right rear wheel of the car to collide with the left front wheel, the front car would inevitably spin, and the Renault racing car behind would also Because of the strong inertia, it slanted into the guardrail that was only a few tens of centimeters away.

The McLaren race car turned twice on the spot and almost stopped in the middle of the track, blocking most of the road. The drivers behind had to brake suddenly and barely squeezed through the roadside buffer zone.

The Monaco Grand Prix presented a crash at the beginning, which undoubtedly ignited the adrenaline of the fans. Accidents are one of the biggest highlights of F1 racing. Before the accidents, they are as strong as Senna and Schumacher, and it is difficult to change their lives against the sky.

The McLaren and Renault teams withdrew one after another. The drivers affected by them had no time to scold them, so they could only step on the gas pedal desperately, trying to keep up with the first group. In terms of performance advantages, the gap with the second group will only grow wider.

The seventh-placed driver couldn't even see the trailing shadow of the sixth-placed car's taillights.

Yang Cheng was on the balcony, drinking champagne while excitedly commenting on the collision just now.

In his opinion, the main responsibility for this accident should be awarded to McLaren's Sainz. It is difficult to justify changing lanes maliciously when the car behind him is in an overtaking position. Of course, he can argue that he did not see it. After all, there is little difference between having or not having rearview mirrors in an F1 car.
