Chapter 411 Increasing Popularity
The bigger the stall, the more manpower is needed. For Zhuang Haiyang, it is also a matter of time before the security team is expanded. Compared with hiring foreign professional security personnel, he still believes in the retired elites of the old army.
Knowing that Zhao Cheng personally led the team and would arrive in Nusilai in a few days, Zhuang Haiyang also felt a lot more relieved. At present, the security work of the ranch is also mainly responsible for Hong Wei, and the part-time staff hired are also divided into three shifts.
The monitoring equipment that was installed earlier is now also being put into use. Staying in the duty room, you can control the situation of the farm in real time. If someone approaches the ranch area, security personnel can also detect it in advance and deal with it accordingly.
According to the law of the Nyusile side, private fiefdoms are sacrosanct. As the owner of the ranch, the ranch owner has the right to warn the intruder without telling him, and even directly report to the police to arrest him.
If the trespasser is suspected of malicious trespassing, the ranch security personnel even have the right to shoot him or her dead. Under normal circumstances, natives who are aware of these laws would not do such a thing. In addition, barbed wire fences have been erected at the edges of the pastures.
When Zhuang Haiyang Association was preparing to raise the alert level of the ranch, the purchasing directors of the restaurants participating in the auction also received the beef that had been slaughtered and cut and tested. The first batch of beef cattle slaughtered is still rated as excellent.
Upon hearing the news, these purchasing leaders were amazed: "It seems that the quality of the beef cattle raised by the marine ranch is really excellent." It's a pity that if you purchase it again next time, the cost will increase a lot!"
In the face of the exclamation of the person in charge of purchasing, the restaurant manager said directly: "In this case, when we recommend this batch of steaks, we can also increase the price a little bit." In that case, you can buy it next time, and you can leave room for it. β
This batch of steaks is recommended to customers who have tasted the ingredients of Sea Ranch before. I believe that those customers should have more confidence in the ingredients produced by Sea Ranch. And the quality of this batch of steaks is very good in itself. β
For these restaurants that deal in steaks, the steaks served to customers are naturally graded. And the steak produced by Sea Ranch will definitely be the highest price grade in the restaurant in the future. Some well-known restaurants are not low in pricing this batch of steaks.
Even the chef of the restaurant directly said that the price of this batch of steaks can be raised to a level that surpasses that of little devils and cows. It's just that after some consideration, the restaurant manager still thinks that the price can be appropriately reduced.
The reason is very simple, the authentic Wagyu beef sold by Little Devil has been tested by the market and has been recognized by many high-end diners. Although the steak produced by Sea Ranch is not bad in quality and taste, it still lacks a little market awareness.
Even so, with the help of a number of restaurants, the news that Sea Ranch was raising premium beef quickly spread in the food circle. What is really surprising is that the diners who have tasted it still praise it.
Even many diners who wanted to try it, after tasting the premium steak of Sea Ranch, bluntly said: "This steak tastes great, and it is the best steak I have ever tasted and meaty." Is this steak really raised on our own pasture?"
"Yes, sir! This ranch produces premium steaks as well as premium lamb chops. And the fruits and vegetables grown on their ranch are also very rare organic agricultural products. β
With the recommendation of these waiters, many diners who go to high-end restaurants know about Sea Ranch in an instant and breed beef cattle that can cut premium steaks. The impact of this news on the top steak market can be imagined.
In the face of a series of purchase calls, including even those from well-known foreign restaurants, Zhuang Haiyang also said directly: "Will, tell these buyers that the current ranch breeding scale is limited, and only the domestic market. β
"Okay, BOSS! But in this case, will it annoy these buyers?"
"This is Nyusile, what are you afraid of? I believe that this decision will make the local caterers have a great favor for the ranch. On top of that, the scale of pasture farming is limited, and we can't supply it all over the world, can we?"
"It's just a pity!"
"That's okay! For the first two years, we just had to take over the top steak market in New Zealand and drive out the other top steaks. As long as the quality of our ranch beef is guaranteed, there will be no shortage of orders in the future. β
"Okay, BOSS, I got it!"
As Zhuang Haiyang said, when the marine ranch made a public announcement, in view of the current limited scale of ranch breeding, the high-quality beef cattle raised by the ranch will only be provided to domestic caterers for the time being. As soon as the news came out, the domestic caterers also doubled their favor.
Even the officials in charge of the agriculture and animal husbandry industry in NΓΌsille directly give the ranches corresponding preferential tax exemptions and other support policies. The premise is that after the ranch breeds breeding cattle, it is hoped that the pasture will be given priority to supply the pasture in New Silae.
Regarding the official overture, seeing the officials who came to inspect, Zhuang Haiyang also made it clear: "Although I am not from New Zealand, I like this country very much." Outside of town, the people are very friendly.
Due to the limited area of the pasture, I am not considering breeding cattle for the time being. In fact, the Angus cattle raised on the ranch are purchased from several nearby ranches. Breeding cattle are genetically improved, but I am afraid that it will take several generations to breed before it is possible.
The quality of the first batch of beef cattle can reach the premium level, which is more due to the high-quality pasture cultivated in the pasture and the environment of the pasture. The quality of the second batch of beef cattle remains to be tested.
In order to avoid the introduction of beef cattle that would affect the quality and reputation, I made a commitment to the buyers. Once the quality of the beef submitted for inspection does not meet the standard of premium grade, I will also take it back and return the corresponding purchase price.
At this stage, I just want to do a good job in the high-end catering market supply in New Zealand, and I really haven't thought about it for the time being. Of course, I also run a restaurant in Huaguo, and I will definitely serve ingredients and meat from the farm in the future.
However, I also promised that the first batch of buyers to participate in the auction, the commercial cattle raised in the pasture will also be supplied to them first. As for my restaurant in China, the monthly supply should not be much, and it will not be sold to the outside world. β
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhuang Haiyang will naturally make some requests. And he also promised not to export breeding cattle to any country for the time being. Even if the beef sent back to China will be slaughtered and cut here.
This also means that the official support of the ranch does not have to worry about making this rare beef cattle brand rotten. Even Zhuang Haiyang has promised the official that in the future, the ranch will be expanded to breed more calves, and will also consider supplying it to other ranches.
Of course, for this commitment, Zhuang Haiyang is also very clear. Even if breeding cattle are provided to other ranches, they may not be able to produce the same beef cattle as marine ranches. The reason is simple, there are problems with the quality of the forage and the feed.
Even the environment can affect the quality of cattle. The officials who came to inspect this also knew about it. If you really think that with good breeding cattle, you can breed high-quality beef, it is absolutely a lie.
Even the world-famous Wagyu cattle have in fact been sold abroad. The question is, how many Wagyu cattle farms can really breed like little devils?
It is because of this scarcity and uniqueness that Wagyu beef has become so well-known and so expensive. At present, the sea ranch is located in Nyusile, if this brand can be established, it will also play a great role in improving the agricultural and animal husbandry exports of Nyusile.
Even if you can't breed beef cattle that are the same as marine ranches, even if they are second-generation beef cattle, I believe that many diners will be willing to pay. And this second-generation beef cattle is believed to be more expensive than ordinary beef cattle.
The higher the value of each cow, the higher the profit for the rancher who raises beef cattle. If the country really wants to import, Zhuang Haiyang doesn't mind selling some second-generation breeding cattle at that time. The premise is that he also needs to take into account the wishes of the New Zealand officials.
It is also a good thing for the ranch to be able to get official support. And he believed that after the news broke, the ruling officials of the South Island, as well as the ruling officials of the small town, would provide a lot of convenience to the ranch.
Seeing off these officials who had inspected and personally tasted the ingredients produced in the ranch, Zhuang Haiyang also smiled and said: "Lao Hong, it seems that everything is the same there, and these guys also know how to make political achievements!"
"That's nature! I heard you say that before, and I know how profitable it will be for our ranch to raise such high-grade beef cattle. Not to mention, those ranchers in the town will definitely come to talk to you. β
"So, when Lao Zhao and the others arrive, I will also prepare to return to China. When the time comes, the ranch will be directly handed over to Will and them to manage, and if you want to fight our ranch idea, let those people wait. The boss isn't there, and Will doesn't dare to make a decision, does he?"
And that's exactly what happened!
When the local rancher in New Zealand learned that the sea ranch had bred a beef cattle that could cut premium beef, he quickly sent a letter of intent to purchase and cooperate. There are even some invitations to cooperate with investment institutions.
But for Zhuang Haiyang, he rejected all these intentions and cooperation. At this stage, the ranch is developing well, and even the income generated every month has begun to earn profits for him.
If you don't lack money, why cooperate with others?
The most important thing is that the Minister of Agriculture, Animal Husbandry and Industry of Nyusile should keep an eye on the idea of farming, and the opinion of the government of Nyusile should also be taken into account if others want to attack the ranch. As long as Zhuang Haiyang doesn't let go, no one can do anything about him.
At this time, Zhuang Haiyang asked Januk to send another invitation to the previous buyer. It was decided to auction the remaining 100 beef cattle places. I originally wanted to divide it into two batches, but now I decided to simply auction it off at one time to save trouble.
Even if it is divided into two auctions, it is very likely that you will make some more money. But the next batch of commercial cattle on the ranch will have to wait for at least half a year. There is half a year to brew the market, and the price of the next batch of commodity cattle will inevitably soar.
received a call from Januk, and the owners of the major restaurants also personally cheered. Even, about the price of Sea Ranch beef, these restaurant owners have reached a tacit agreement. It's just that no one dares to suppress the price of Zhuang Haiyang.
The reason is very simple, it really provokes Zhuang Haiyang, and people no longer sell such high-quality beef cattle to them, but they are afraid that they will cry and have nowhere to find them. With their channels, they naturally know that foreign restaurants have sent purchase intentions to the ranch.
Even the Ministry of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry has ordered the customs to temporarily ban the export of beef from the marine ranch. Of course, if Zhuang Haiyang wants to bring some beef out of the country, he will also get a license from the agricultural and animal husbandry industry department. However, the number cannot exceed two cows.
Regarding this, Zhuang Haiyang also feels that there is no problem. In fact, he also kept a few commercial cattle on the ranch, which he did not intend to sell. Wait for his restaurant on the island to open, and then let Will apply for an export concession.
In that case, if you supply beef products to your restaurant with a maximum of two cows every month, I believe that the New Zealand side will not have any objections. As long as it is not a live cattle leaving the country, the impact on New Zealand will not be too great.
When Zhao Cheng arrived at the ranch safely with three security personnel. Under the reunion of old comrades-in-arms, everyone was also very happy. On the day of arrival, Zhuang Haiyang slaughtered a lamb and invited everyone to taste the taste of roasting the whole sheep.
After tasting the beef and mutton raised in the pasture, Zhao Cheng and others also sighed extremely and said: "This taste, it's really useless!"
"Delicious, isn't it? So, you have a lot of responsibility in the future. When you go to work, you must make sure that the pasture is not damaged. The second is that the lambs and live cattle in the pasture must not be allowed to flow out of the pasture.
Even if they steal the breeding sheep or breeding cattle, they may not be able to breed such high-quality mutton or beef. But for the ranch, this is also a hidden danger and must be completely eliminated. In addition to that, it is to prevent someone from deliberately causing trouble. β
"Got it, boss, rest assured, we will definitely do a good job of security precautions in the next period. β
"Okay, I'll go to the police department on the island to register in two days, and buy some guns there." Although equipped with weapons, it is impossible to be the same as the army. But pistols and semi-automatic rifles can still be equipped.
However, these weapons must be used wisely. Unless there is an emergency, if you can avoid using a gun, try to avoid it. I applied for the right to equip guns for you, and more importantly, to let you have the power to protect yourself. β
"Ahh
For what Zhuang Haiyang said, Zhao Cheng and the others were indeed surprised. In fact, this is also the previous Zhuang Haiyang, who specially applied to the Consulate of the South Island. If it had been before, it would have been impossible to obtain such permission.
The problem is that the fame of the sea ranch has now begun to expand from New Zealand to foreign countries. Although there is also a police station in the town, it is impossible for the police to squat on the ranch every day, and it is inevitable that some people will take risks.
It is natural for the ranch to apply for a gun for defense. Moreover, Zhuang Haiyang also made it clear that the guns applied for will only be used in the ranch area. In this way, there is no need to worry about the misuse of firearms.
Equipping these comrades-in-arms with weapons, Zhuang Haiyang will also be more assured. If there is an emergency, these comrades-in-arms who have weapons will also show stronger strength, so that those with bad intentions will not be able to bargain!
