Chapter 117: Opportunities and Challenges
Lu Zheng bought two super-large ranches in Western Australia, how big are they, look at the data.
A ranch with an area of 16,000 square kilometers, mainly raised dairy cows and beef cattle, Lu Zheng bought him for 280 million US dollars.
It was originally a private vertically integrated beef company, but due to the European financial crisis, the consortium broke down due to asset management disagreements, and Lu Zheng picked up a big bargain.
The number of cattle herds ranks first in the world, with 1.6 million live cattle, of which 1/5 are dairy cows, 1/10 are breeding cattle, and the rest are all beef cattle, 1.62 million sheep, with a grazing area of 120,000 square kilometers, and a number of water sources and various houses.
The farm also has its own meat and milk processing plant, and there are direct rail and road connections to the port and airport.
It became the largest agricultural deal in Australia's history to date, and was widely covered by Australian television and news media.
The other is close to the large ranch, with a land area of 50,000 square kilometers, where a total of 456,000 cattle, 411,000 sheep, and several functional houses, which are worth 130 million US dollars, and the agent even told them that this ranch also has a sea area where a lot of seafood can be harvested.
Lu Zheng took a fancy to this place, mainly because the intermediary company introduced that these two natural pastures with beautiful mountains and rivers and abundant water and grass are not only that, but they also used high-tech drip irrigation technology to make the grass quality better.
After Lu Zheng asked Woolf to go through the formalities, he canceled the beef he had originally ordered, and directly used the beef from his own ranch to meet Sergei's request.
Lu Zheng turned the two ranches into one and gave the name of Qingfeng Ranch.
Lu Zheng asked the two people in charge here, and they said that there are 3,200 workers in these two farms, who either make food or drive the cows to the automatic milk room, and the cleaning of the barn, as well as the processing plant all need people, and even have special feed procurement personnel and transportation fleets.
Lu Zheng explained to several managers that although the ranch has changed hands, the company will not easily adjust the existing management personnel, and each staff member will raise their salaries by 300~500 yuan.
Stabilize the careful thinking of employees, and the salary increase is a straightforward, simple and crude approach.
After a few more days of their stay here, Woolf led the staff to complete the work and formalities of all the acquired properties, and it was time for Woolf to come on the field.
He also needs to go to auction the mine.
With Lu Zheng's confession, there was a fierce competition between the price and the price increase on the scene, and Woolf's hanging heart also fell.
The price of his first card has reached 1.89 billion US dollars, but the opponent is still in hot pursuit, and directly quoted an offer of 1.96 billion.
In the end, after more than a dozen fierce competitions, he has obtained the mining rights for $2.68 billion.
The auctioneer's face froze, and finally promised that he would organize the winning bidder to conduct a field survey and set the boundary sign for the last time.
Woolf and the staff did not know what kind of mine they were bidding on, what the reserves were, not to mention the grade, until all the formalities were completed.
After Woolf reported to Lu Zheng, he suggested: "It is better to let the prospectors of Liangtuo Company and Bichton Company go to work, and report to us in writing when the situation is clear." ”
Lu Zheng thought about it, and there was no other way, he said casually: "Just let the two companies merge first, anyway, don't mine for the time being, it won't have a big impact." He thought for a while, and then continued to explain: "The name of the new company is Southwest Mining, and you let the staff handle this matter as soon as possible." ”
When Lu Zheng was buying a lot in Western Australia, he didn't know that the world's computer industry greeted him I don't know how many times.
For no other reason, he pointed out a direction for professionals and students in the world's computer industry, and blocked this road through a series of strange patented technologies.
This is what Lu Shuren said: go your own way, let others have no way out.
What he didn't know was that all the television, radio, newspapers, and magazines in the world were talking about this big thing.
Giovanni sincerely sighed to all the practitioners: This person is a genius, although he has registered a lot of patented technology, but the current network technology cannot meet his requirements for the time being.
This gives us a lot of opportunities to work in the industry, whether it's the software industry, or the hardware industry, everyone should work hard to create this kind of environment for him.
Think about it, when one day, you type code at home, and suddenly you find that you need to buy something, but you can't walk away immediately, and then you only need to click the mouse on the online platform to be able to have it delivered to your doorstep, isn't it okay?
Therefore, now the network service providers should seize the time to popularize the network and make the network faster.
Our software engineers should simplify the operating system we use now until it can be used by the general public.
Our hardware engineers should think about how to make our PC hardware reach the level of adapting to the general public, and how to reduce the price.
These are the opportunities and challenges of our entire computer industry, children, come on!
Steven, a straight man in scientific research, doesn't think so, he thinks that Lu Zheng is a complete profiteer, blocking all the roads for him.
Originally, he wanted to borrow the things in Lu Zheng's book to realize his dream of a business empire, but when he read the book for a few days and sorted out his thoughts, he found that the Internet was full of patented technologies about various technologies introduced in the book.
Steven was so angry in his heart, it was like the child of his dreams, who went to the hospital for a check-up and said that he was pregnant, but the second time he went for a check-up, he found that it was a misdiagnosis.
If it was really the Lu Zheng in the original dormitory, he couldn't wait to run in front of him and beat him, what kind of good things did you say, don't be too annoying.
David, who works in the logistics industry, is also paying attention to this matter. His company now has 30 large trucks, 2 50,000-ton freighters, and a total of 120 managers and grassroots employees.
He suddenly saw a business opportunity in this matter, and he felt that the spring of the logistics industry was coming with the sharp thinking of a businessman, and now he had no extra money to buy new cars and freighters.
"We still need to optimize the way we work and our financial expenditures, and I am ready to rent warehouses in our main business cities and fulfill multiple orders at once to save on operating costs," he said. ”
David himself didn't know that it was this opportunity that made him the future king of transportation, of course, this is a later story.
