"I remember the last time you said that this kind of calf doesn't have to wait until it reaches adulthood, and now the meat is delicious, and it won't be worth anything if you send it to the butcher?"

Zhang Xiaokai sat on horseback, in front of cowboys resting in the shade of trees.

Herds of half-sized cows were grazing nearby, and they could not guess that the idea had hit them, and they were leisurely, or they were grazing on the grass with their heads down, or they were lying there resting with their tails flicking.

Beneath him was a quart horse, with a strange fur color, black and white, looking like a Holstein cow, standing motionless, staring at his companions in a daze.

Ten employees have taken a break and have paid their wages and gone home, but because they have not signed an employment contract, the compensation is not much.

For those employees who have left, there must be complaints, but they also know that there is a problem with the flow of money, there is nothing to say, and some have already started to look for a next home.

The rest of the people also began to worry about whether they would lose their jobs, and Mr. Kenny looked up and asked:

"Didn't that Jewish seafood merchant say yesterday that he was willing to take all the loans and pay eight million dollars, and your grandfather didn't agree?

I don't know if these cattle can be slaughtered, but it's too much of a loss to sell them now, and they can be fattened when autumn comes, and then it's a good time to grow meat. ”

Hank, who was sitting on the side, followed with a rough voice: "I haven't slaughtered a cow recently, and we don't know what it looks like, so someone should buy it." Lack of money is so short that we have to sell cattle and sheep to survive, little one, tell me, do we have to go and find a new job?"

There are still six days to go until the agreed repayment date, and Zhang Xiaokai is under a lot of pressure.

He rolled over and got off his horse, shook his head and said, "Probably not, even if the ranch is sold, the person who takes over will need the old staff to help take care of it, and you will definitely be fine." But it wasn't there yet, Mr. Burns was bidding too low, and my father and I didn't even think about selling it to him, and we were still thinking of a way.

I'd like to ask him if he has a butcher's phone number, or contact other ranches, and whoever wants to take over these half-sized cattle and sheep should sell them first, and it is more important to solve the financial problem first. ”

Zhang Xiaokai didn't tell them that because of the money, he was already thinking about selling the house in San Francisco, which was worth about $1.2 million.

There are too many memories left in that apartment, and Zhang Xiaokai was quite resistant to this idea at first, but his father said that he couldn't live anymore, and he should look forward and keep the memories in his head.

Insomnia late into the night over this.

After figuring it out, Zhang Xiaokai also felt that he really didn't need to care too much about the house itself, and faced that familiar environment every day, but the familiar people were not there, but it was a kind of torture.

Next year's loan aside, how to solve this problem has become a troublesome matter, not to the point of last resort, he doesn't want to lose this land, old Ronald can't worry about it, and he doesn't have the brain to worry about it, so he has to be handled by Zhang Xiaokai and his father.

Mr. Kenny, unsure of what the situation was, pulled out his phone and replied, "I'll call him and ask, he's fishing at sea."

If there is anything you can help with, just tell us that you finally found a job I like, but I don't want to just disappear like this. Let's contact the butchers and other ranches first, and I'll pick a few of the fattest ones to show them......"

Accompanied by Nurse Logan, Daddy Zhang went to San Francisco to discuss the sale of the house with a real estate agent.

The rest of the loan has been paid off by Ronald Lao, for which the Zhang family and his son still owe him more than 200,000 US dollars, and now the situation is grim, this money should be repaid.

If the house is sold smoothly, the rest of the money will not be given to the old man in vain, there is no reason for the middle class to help the rich, and when he is relieved, he has to let the old man return it, and Daddy Zhang's entire net worth is like this.

Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your son's future, it's better to figure it out, and now you haven't even used the money in the old man's account to buy groceries.

San Francisco housing prices are notoriously high in the United States, and the house I just bought at the beginning of last year is now about to be sold.

In order to raise funds, I thought of any way I could.

Zhang Xiaokai was not idle, and learned that little Patrick did not have a butcher number, so he went home and checked the relevant information on the computer, and the phone calls went out one after another, and there were few people who were interested, even if he had the idea of replenishing the supply, he heard that most of the calves were only seven or eight months old, and they were all gone.

I felt that this would not work, so I lay on the bed and pondered for a while, and then changed my mind and beat them back one by one.

It is said that the cattle and sheep are sold in advance, but they can continue to be raised in the pasture until the end of the year, and the price is slightly lower, which has successfully attracted several potential buyers, all of whom are powerful large companies, as long as the price can be negotiated, no matter how many cattle and sheep they can easily eat.

Father Zhang went to San Francisco to sell the property, and Zhang Xiaokai was in charge of the ranch, and the time to see the cattle and sheep was scheduled on Wednesday, that is, the morning after tomorrow.

At the beginning, the old Ronald found a few more aquatic merchants to sell bluefin tuna, and this trick was now used by Zhang Xiaokai, and just after it was determined, there were four butchers who were willing to come over to see the goods.

After settling these matters, I called little Patrick and asked him to take him to the next town, thinking of talking to the old man and reassuring him a little, and if all went well, he should be able to repay the loan even if he didn't pay it off in full.

If you can put aside your face, maybe you can borrow some money from Mr. Lambaugh first, and solve most of it yourself, a little money should not be a problem, but if you can't let your grandfather use the ranch land as a mortgage, the interest will not be less than that of a loan from the bank.

There's no way, there is only one rich person who has a slightly better relationship with Zhang Xiaokai, if you don't look for him, then I really don't know where to raise money.

They met again, and they had come over often lately, and the prison guards had already known Zhang Xiaokai, so they took the old man to the table and sat down, and then walked away.

It's not a serious criminal, the supervision is relatively relaxed, and after Zhang Xiaokai finished telling the way to raise money, old Ronald immediately glared, slapped the table and said: "What!? Sold your house to help me repay the bank loan?"

No! This is absolutely not possible! I haven't fallen to this point yet, it's a big deal to carve out a piece of land from the Cleveland ranch and sell it to anyone, it's that big anyway! Hurry up and let your dad take the money away!"

"Isn't this helping you deal with trouble, how can you get angry for no reason?" In Zhang Xiaokai's opinion, the old man was simply inexplicable, and he couldn't help but be irritable: "When you want to sell the house, it's not because you don't know how to run at all and owe a lot of foreign debts!"

Old Ronald was so choked that he couldn't speak, and began to mess around and said, "...... I may not be fit to be a rancher, but I definitely don't need your dad to help me pay back!"

Zhang Xiaokai looked at him and hesitated for a moment before speaking: "You shouldn't still hate my dad and be angry with him because of my mom, right?"

Probably being said, the old man stood up and suddenly said, "That's it for today, I'm leaving." ”

"Hmm, sit down, I'll come all the way, and you're just leaving?

"Don't try to persuade me, your father's money is your father's money, I won't ask for it anyway!"

was already short-tempered, but after coming in for so long, his temper became even more short-tempered.

Zhang Xiaokai was afraid that the old man would really turn his head and leave, so he calmed down and lowered his voice, and then continued to speak: "Is it good to be reasonable, lend you money, and not give it to you, what are you excited about." My dad and I already owe you the money for the loan, and now we should pay you back, right?"

"No, I borrowed it from somewhere else, and I will say hello at the bank, but I don't want your money. The old man is more stubborn than a cow, Zhang Xiaokai still disagrees with what he said.

What can be done, Zhang Xiaokai really wanted to slap himself in the mouth, why did he have to mention this, until his grandfather's temper of the donkey, after thinking about it, he changed the way and asked him:

"Then don't think it's my father's money, it's mine, it's just an investment in you, is it okay to do business with you? Don't really contact the bank, if you can't repay this loan, the next loan will be repaid in advance, more than five million US dollars, how can there be cattle and sheep to sell at that time."

I'm begging you, it's already annoying, don't make any more extraneous branches, if you do this again, I'll immediately pull my dad back to San Francisco, and I don't care about anything!"

Old Ronald didn't say anything with a straight face, and after a while, most of the time he persuaded himself, and then he told: "Your money, that's fine, why do you want to help me, I didn't let you help me, to be honest, do you want to wait for me to hang up one day, so that I can inherit my inheritance?

“…… I finally know why you have such a temper, old man, your heart is too evil, and there is always a way to think too badly about people and things. ”

After Zhang Xiaokai finished speaking, the topic changed: "But if no one really sends it at that time, and you have to give me that piece of land, I definitely don't mind, and I will definitely manage it better than you when the time comes." ”

At ten o'clock in the morning on Wednesday, buyers from several beef and mutton processing companies were invited to the door, and people from Wal-Mart and Tyson Foods also came.

The old man bought more than 1,000 cows at that time, and later found that the growth of the pasture was unexpected, and Zhang Xiaokai added 600 half-sized calves, so that the types of cattle in the pasture were different, and the number of growth days was also very different.

The small ones are only more than 300 pounds, and the big ones are already 6 or 700 pounds, all of them fat and fat.

Yesterday Mr. Kenny did his homework, in this era to introduce the growing environment and green farming methods, according to Patrick Jr., in the past few years there was a serious shortage of manpower, really did not use pesticides and fertilizers, and the cultivation of wheat and other rations relied on cow dung as fertilizer.

This is a bright spot, it can be seen that cattle and sheep buyers, quite satisfied with the "organic" statement, also randomly inspected more than a dozen cattle, through the chip in the earring, to check the vaccine, medication, illness and other conditions.

Louis was also dutiful, occasionally weighing the cattle, and the data was also entered.

When a blonde female buyer at Wal-Mart saw an Angus cow that was only six and a half months old and weighed more than 700 pounds, she couldn't help but ask: "Wait, are you sure they all eat grass instead of hormone feed, why do your cattle grow so fast?

In Zhang Xiaokai's ears, this is simply smashing his own signboard in front of him, and he hurriedly replied: "Because the grass here is good, the cattle and sheep are in a good mood, and they grow fast."

I've watched them grow up little by little, and I can swear that I really didn't feed them with the feed I bought outside, and I was so poor that I needed to sell them in advance, so how could I afford to buy feed with hormones?"

Mr. Kenny also helped, and said with a smile, "Ma'am, little Matt is right, there is too much grass to eat, so why bother to buy fodder." We are all new to cattle farming, and to be honest I have never even seen what hormone-based feed looks like, and the wheat is not yet ripe, so we usually graze in the wild. If you don't believe me, you can slaughter one head now and send it for testing......"
