preface
This Chinese man abandoned everything to come to Africa to open up the wilderness, led 300 black Africans to plant corn, and decided to plant 2400 catties in 3 months, which is 4 times the level of African farming.
Can the locals follow him to get the job done on time? How much money can so much corn make in Africa?
The man in the plaid shirt had just arrived in Africa and was laying down a small piece of wasteland for 800 yuan, and he was taking his two little brothers to the farming site.
The vegetation in the surrounding field is not growing well to the naked eye, but it doesn't matter, he is confident of using Chinese agricultural technology to change the land.
Lead the people of Africa
For tv, Africans are not shy at all, but generously greet the camera, eager to come to a song and dance performance, or the Chinese brother reminds that it is time to do serious things, and everyone returns to their original positions to start working.
The biggest task of the plaid shirt today is that while being a supervisor, the three big brothers behind the church use watering cans to spray medicine to sterilize.
At this time, he was secretly praying, hoping that these three great masters would learn as soon as they could learn, and not to make him angry to the point of liver pain.
If you want to learn to use a watering can in a total of several steps, the Chinese guy will temporarily divide into three steps.
The first step is to let everyone weigh the weight and feel the power of technology.
But I didn't expect the green-clad brother next to him to directly hi, directly raised the bag and the villagers over there yelled loudly, this plaid shirt is confused, just drove people to the designated location has not worked for two minutes, this do not expect to work well.
He quickly stopped this behavior, took the plastic sack, tore open the wrapping paper, or the red hat brother had the eyesight to see, and the boss knew how to help when he worked.
With the full cooperation of the two people, the two African brothers next to them were as steady as Tarzan, waiting for them to finish their work and go home to sleep.
Soon, the true face of the watering can appeared, which was a domestic ordinary style that could no longer be ordinary.
The plaid shirt found a bottle of pesticide, which was very suitable for the land of Africa, which has high temperatures throughout the year and is prone to breeding bacteria, and if they want the corn to grow well, they will sprinkle this pesticide after sowing.
In the past, the villagers used to sprinkle it by hand, which was laborious and ineffective, and he was determined to change the farming mode of the locals.
Learn to use the tools
The boy told the workers who were working to stop their work, stand in a circle, and collectively learn how to use the watering can.
Since the previous first step was too unsuccessful, he decided to jump straight to the second step, which was to open the lid above the watering can and pour the insecticide into the watering can at a uniform rate.
This step is simple, but it is difficult for the locals, because they commute to and from work every day happily, have no temper and are extremely forgetful, and it is easy to have no water or no tightening of the bottle cap.
After emphasizing the ratio of water and pesticides countless times, the little brother personally added well water to the watering can, and told the employees that if they forgot this step, the corn in this land would be killed by the medicinal properties of the insecticide, and his 800 yuan land rent would be lost, and he could only return to China to inherit a million properties.
After finishing the operation of the second step, the boy washed his hands in the water basin next to him, asked the staff to help carry the watering can, and the most important third step came, he must personally demonstrate.
After adjusting the posture, the boy took the nozzle with his right hand, and the left hand kept pressurizing up and down, and everyone didn't understand what this meant or what results it would bring.
Under the demonstration of the young man, a miracle occurred in a short while, the nozzle was pressurized to turn the insecticide inside into a spray, evenly sprinkled on the planted land, this magical scene directly stunned the surrounding villagers.
He suddenly remembered something and hurriedly asked the most handsome employee around him to get it.
After the distribution, the villagers suddenly realized that it was a mask, and I have to say that the awareness of the mask Chinese is too strong, no matter where they go, they will remember to wear a mask to protect themselves.
After taking protective measures, the boy began his own performance, he fully believed that the Chinese-made watering can cans can shine in the land of Africa, so he worked hard for half a day, and the boy found that there was only one person around him studying, and the others did not know where to hide!
Such a large piece of land, counting on him alone not to die of exhaustion.
After summoning his own employee, the guy took off the watering can to give the red-clad teenager on his back, this employee is very smart, and soon mastered the trick of the watering can, but 8 liters of 10 liters of insecticide are sprayed on his feet, and the Chinese guy is speechless for a while.
After spraying all the land, the boy called the two backbones aside and asked the other to hand over a mysterious item.
It is not difficult to see from the pocket of the other party that this is a sock with a smell, is it not necessary for the locals to work without wearing socks?
In fact, they really don't wear it, the role of this sock is to protect the seeds, look at the corn seeds inside are well preserved, the guys don't care if there is a smell, distributed to a few backbones to let them plant, this land today's work is almost completed, the guy drove the little brothers to the next location.
It is still this familiar set of equipment, or a green land, but the price of this land is slightly more expensive, and it is rented by the boy for 1,000 yuan.
Seeing the workers working hard, the boy was very pleased, and finally hired a few efficient employees, he quickly checked the surrounding environment and checked the results of the workers.
African pests
This land is also planted with corn, but the corn seedlings do not grow very well, break open the center of the leaf to look carefully, there are a few small bugs that do not know the name, there are also many worms on the leaves, the boy suddenly feels that things are not good.
This land may suffer, but the employees are still stupidly happy on the side, and the boys silently calculate an account in their hearts, in addition to the rent of the land, there are so many employees' wages.
In the past, the average monthly income of the people who planted land in the village was 700 yuan, in order to improve the economic situation of the locals, and also to make a lot of money for himself to become a chief as soon as possible, he gave the locals a salary increase with a hard hand, and the monthly salary was about 3,000 yuan.
So much money added together, now the heart is a little desperate, but there is no way, to this step hard scalp also have to continue, the big deal to go back to sell the Chinese house, and then come back to continue to work.
The young man gathered the brothers to see that this posture should be to teach the use of another round of watering cans, everyone pay attention to see, or the batch of pesticides, just used half a bottle in the previous field, the remaining half bottle to save this cornfield, the employees were very curious, suddenly gathered around, want to see what can make the boss's operation so sacred.
The color of the liquid poured out is a bit like beer, but it must not be drunk, the guy picked the soldiers to choose the blue bucket to wash his hands, and after washing, he poured it into the watering can, maybe the liquid insecticidal effect of this blend is better.
Then there is the distribution of masks, the Chinese guys are generous, up is a stack of masks, you know, masks in this village is a scarce item, one should be able to take 1 month.
After putting on the mask, the formal teaching began, the guy stood straight, the left hand was as fierce as a tiger, looking back at the nozzle of the right hand did not have much water, after repeatedly pressurizing several times, the guy gradually found his original confidence.
But when he looked up again, the employees in front of him were only left with the striped brother, under the continuous summoning, the other employees had entered the close observation, the striped brother was already impatient to try, but as soon as he came up, he was corrected.
Saying that the posture of his right hand holding the nozzle is not handsome enough, the striped brother repeatedly brewed, and finally aimed at a corn seedling and sprayed it violently, because the striped brother's technique was too rude, the boy really couldn't look at it.
Counting beats working method
If this continues, the worms will suffer if they do not kill the corn seedlings, and he thinks of a way, that is, to teach the striped brothers to count the beats.
Every time you spray, mentally count one,two, three, four, and five, and work at a rhythm.
After continuous adjustment, everyone gradually adapted to the reliable way of farming, the guy did not forget to look forward to the future with everyone at the end, he pointed to the endless wasteland in the distance, told the big guys to work well, plant corn well, and strive to achieve an yield of 800 pounds per mu at the time of harvest.
If he did this, he would give each person a large bag of corn as a year-end bonus.
epilogue
The entrepreneurial journey of this Chinese boy is arduous, he first faced the language barrier, chose to learn alone to overcome, and then faced with the difference in living habits, he can also go with the customs.
Finally, in the face of differences in work techniques, he was also able to teach patiently, teach locals how to use tools, help African people solve the problem of eating, and make them self-reliant in agriculture.
Growing food is not the result, growing good food is his ultimate goal.
In this wasteland that no one wants to reclaim, he reached 800 catties per mu in 3 months, with a total output of 2400 catties, which is 4 times the level of local farming, he never mentioned how much money he earned, but the wages of employees have always been as heavy as Taishan in his heart, and improving the quality of life of African people is his pursuit in the process of entrepreneurship.
