Chapter 466: Buying Cattle and Sheep
To be honest, Ye Luo wanted to tell the cowboy in front of him what 'the customer is God', but he gave up after thinking about it.
There's nothing to talk about, now the buyer is the uncle, and you can buy anything if you have money?
This cattle and sheep trading market is not his own.
Ye Luo didn't want to waste time on this cowboy, so after giving Pete and Sindra a look respectively, he turned around and left, not even wanting to listen to the cowboy's words.
Pete and Sindra understood and hurriedly followed Ye Luo's footsteps.
"I said, 'Wait!'"
The cowboy saw that Ye Luo and the three of them were really leaving, so he hurriedly ran to Ye Luo, stretched out his arms to stop the three of them, and said with a slight red face: "Is it okay to listen to me? Our boss just wants to sell more things because of the problem with cash return." You buy so many things, naturally there are discounts, we have a lot of lambs, alpacas and horses in our pasture, the quality is definitely no problem, the price is absolutely cheap!"
Uncle Pete next to him quietly gave Ye Luo a look, although Ye Luo didn't understand what it meant, he still slowly stopped, looked at the cowboy with his head slightly sideways, and his tone was slightly impatient: "Let's put it this way, how much discount can you give? In addition to 2,000 cows, I also need to buy more than 1,000 sheep, and how many horses also need it, bring samples first, and then go to inspect the goods." ”
When it comes to dealing with buyers, the cowboy is really not good at it, and he would rather go to the grassland to run horses and herd sheep than this.
The small friction between a few people made the people around them turn their eyes, and when they saw a few of them slowly deflating, they took care of themselves and did their own thing.
"Pete, it's really you, I haven't seen you for a long time, which ranch have you been on lately?" A chubby old man walked over, his white chubby head was buttoned with a cowboy hat, he looked particularly funny, and the tall and fat standing next to Ye Luo was like a wall.
Pete rolled his eyes behind his back, then turned around with a smile on his face, leaned in and hugged him, and said in a surprised tone, "Dodorf! I didn't expect to see you here, how can I have the leisure to visit the market?"
Looking at the figures of the two people with a particularly large gap, Ye Luo and Sindra couldn't help but glance at each other tacitly, and they each laughed unkindly.
When the fat old man came over before, he had already had a preliminary understanding of the price, so now he is ready to talk to the cowboy about the price.
"Merino sheep are being raised, rest assured, our ranch is not far south of the market, if you think it is appropriate, you can go over and choose your own cattle, sheep and horses, everything is up to you, this is always okay, right?" The cowboy was afraid that he would mess up this big business, resulting in the loss of the bonus, so he hurriedly reassured.
It's not easy to do business these days, especially now that the summer temperature is getting hotter, almost 1.3 degrees Celsius higher than the same time last year!
If nothing else, it should be a difficult summer, and it is not uncommon for drought to occur.
Drought is a serious problem for any ranch.
Especially once there is a real drought, then there will be a lot of problems in the pasture, and the vast majority of people who feel that this year may be difficult or unable to survive are very eager to sell their cattle and sheep during this period.
Although this will inevitably cost some money, it is undoubtedly several times better than the heavy losses during the drought.
At this time, Pete held back his impatience on the side, barely mustered up his energy and talked nonsense with Dorf, he pointed at Ye Luo, and said with an excuse: "My boss has something to do with me, let's talk slowly next time we meet, I'll go first." ”
The next second.
Pete hurriedly walked over and whispered to Ye Luo: "Boss, let's go, let's go to their ranch first to see the goods, if it's not bad, then buy it, let them transport it, so as not to waste time." ”
"Call me John, I'll tell them first, and tell them to pay more attention to the situation here, and keep an eye on the cows. The cowboy named John hurriedly went to his colleague who was standing on the side and bragging and fart, and asked him to come and take care of the stall, but he took Ye Luo and the three of them towards the ranch.
Toyota pickup truck rushed on the road, leaving the scenery behind, Ye Luo got into the car and looked around at everything in the car, looked at it for a while, and then lost interest, and asked with a puzzled expression on his face: "Man, why did you choose Toyota?" I think Ford's pickup truck series is not bad, especially the 690 model, which looks domineering. ”
"Actually, I don't know how to drive, so I bought one casually, and it feels good to drive, and I usually ride horses on the ranch, and I only drive when I am on vacation or when I come to the market. ”
John looked in a good mood at this time, explaining: "Although my Toyota pickup truck is a second-hand car, it is obviously cheaper than Ford's second-hand pickup, and my own requirements for the car are not high, as long as I can drive it, there is no need to spend too much money on this." ”
The group talked and laughed and came to John's ranch.
This is much more than a pasture with leaves, at least there is a ten-meter-wide cement road leading directly to the gate of the pasture, so as not to make the ground dirty.
The rancher is a particularly acute person, he has been waiting at the door for a long time, and after seeing Ye Luo and the three get out of the car, he didn't say anything polite, and directly led Ye Luo and the three of them towards the ranch: "Knowing that you are coming, I specially asked them to gather all the cattle that are suitable for your standards, some are calves, some are cows, and some are grown bulls, you can't all raise cattle of average size, right? ”
People are really right, it can't be that 2,000 cows are half the size of a small cow, and the herd does not have a leader, and it can't form a complete tribe, so it's not a good phenomenon for cattle.
From this sentence, Ye Luo knew that this boss was a real person, and he estimated that if there was no accident in this business, it would basically be a success.
When the cowboys in the ranch saw their boss arrive with his guests, they divided the thousands of cows into small groups, and the lasso was hung in a circle on the saddle by the cowboys, and when they saw that the cows were a little restless, the cowboys stood up and waved the noose in their hands, and then threw it at the overactive cow, wrapped it around its neck, and then pulled it to the ground.
This is a true cowboy, and the skillful use of the lasso is as important as the measure of whether he has superb horsemanship and marksmanship.
For cowboy employees who are primarily engaged in cattle herding and cattle herding activities, proficiency in the application of lasso is often a key assessment of whether they can be hired by a cattle herder or rancher.
Ye Luo had seen Syndra, Nelph, Pete and others use lassos at first, but now that he really saw the lassos of cowboys, he finally opened his eyes.
At this time, Ye Luo suddenly remembered the scene when he touched the big cow by the lake before, and planned to verify his guess in his heart, so he took a deep breath
tone, and then let yourself be as kind as possible, and in the astonished eyes of all, he walked up to the calf and stroked its head with his hand.
The calf was originally a lively and active age, but after feeling that Ye Luo's body exuded a gentle, tolerant, harmless and natural aura, he suddenly became extremely docile, and even rubbed against him, obviously expressing his closeness.
After Ye Luo patted the calf's buttocks gently, he walked back calmly and said with a smile: "How is it?
Although the rancher was surprised, he still did not forget the business, he pointed to the Murray gray cattle that were constantly moving, and said with a smile: "You have also seen it just now, the quality of our cattle must be the upper class, if it is not for my investment problems, I will not sell these cattle, as long as they are raised for a few more months, they can be sold." ”
"It's pretty good. Ye Luo nodded sincerely, what he did just now was not simply to show off, but to feel the vitality of the calves up close, and he found that the vitality of these cows was very active, and there were no sick seedlings or defective products.
In particular, after using the functions of the system this time, he found that all the blood bars on the heads of hundreds of calves were in a state of full blood, and none of them had lost blood or residual blood.
From this point, it is enough to show that these cattle are very healthy, and as for the quality, he believes that after returning to his own pasture for a period of time, it will gradually increase!
The rancher saw that Ye Luo had the intention to buy, and hurriedly hit the railway while it was hot: "If you are not at ease, I can let the cowboy drive these cattle to the trailer, you can check at the door of the trailer, see which ones are unqualified, and the unqualified ones can be picked out, anyway, there are two thousand heads in total, and there is still a lot of choice for selecting two thousand heads out of several thousand." ”
The ranchers have served to such a point, how can Ye Luo refuse.
Relying on the function of the system, he roughly found that there were no health problems in nearly 10,000 cows, but he really didn't know what the quality was, so he had to stand behind the trailer with Pete and Sindra, and after a cursory inspection, he was released.
It took ten large trailers for 2,000 cattle to be fully loaded, and as soon as Ye Luo paid, these cars would be driven directly to the dock to be sent to the cargo ship, and when they arrived at Miracle Island, they would naturally be taken over by Joseph, Nelph, Walton, Breg, and Ma, and be responsible for delivering them to the pasture.
After checking the price, Ye Luo wrote down his check very happily, and this time it cost more than four million.
Although there are many types of pastures, such as those that specialize in raising cattle, sheep, and horses, there are more mixed pastures and everything.
This ranch covers an area of 180,000 acres, and all kinds of things are cultivated in it, so Ye Luo plans to buy the rest here to save the trouble of running around!
After the first transaction, everyone became more relaxed, and a thousand sheep were easily driven by the sheepdogs, obediently sat in the car, and prepared to change homes.
The two transactions cost a total of nearly six million, which is really not much compared to the tens of millions of dollars invested in the fishing farm.
"Now that the deal is done, let's go first. Ye Luo was in a really good mood and said goodbye to the rancher.
After these problems are solved, the ranch is really on track, and the rest is left to Sindra and Pete and a few cowboys.
He'll be able to free up time for something else!
