Chapter 186: Pastures to be expanded

The success of the large forging press made everyone in the Large Aircraft Research Center excited. It is as if they have already seen their own airplanes soar into the blue sky in the near future. Riveting is sufficient, and the forging press is running at full capacity.

Returning from the Large Aircraft Research Center, Li Ya told Shu Yue about the scene there. Shu Yue said: "We have invested so much, they will be sorry for us if they don't work hard." ”

"I haven't been investing for a few years. Li Ya said, "We don't have to worry about it later." ”

"What's wrong?" asked Shu Yue. The two have already discussed the final ownership of the large aircraft project, and will hand it over to the state to continue to study.

Although they can financially support the research of large aircraft, there are too few researchers, and there is basically no hope of success, so it is better to hand it over to the state. The state can mobilize researchers from various aircraft companies to concentrate on tackling key problems, which greatly shortens the research time of large aircraft.

"There's no problem yet, but McDonnell Douglas is having a hard time right now. Li Ya said.

"What's wrong with McDonnell Douglas?" Shu Yue asked. McDonnell Douglas, she only learned about it when she first took over the large aircraft project, and she never paid attention to it since.

"McDonnell Douglas's most important product is military aircraft, but after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the demand for military aircraft in the United States decreased, and McDonnell Douglas military aircraft sales fell sharply, and two years ago they failed to compete on the project. People who are unlucky are simply stuffed with cold water, and the company McDonnell Douglas acquired before not only did not make money, but also lost money. Li Ya said with a smile, "In the civilian market, they can't compete with Boeing and Airbus." Although the MD80 produced in cooperation with China is decent, they still have MD11, which originally performed poorly in terms of cruising distance, fuel consumption, and auxiliary power equipment, and its reputation was affected, and there was an accident in April this year, which made it even worse. Now, they're not having a good time. ”

As soon as Li Ya said it, Shu Yue understood. McDonnell Douglas is having a hard time, and it will eventually be merged, and after the merger, the project with the domestic cooperation is likely to be terminated.

"I wish McDouglas McDouglas would be annexed tomorrow. Shu Yue sighed. Li Ya put forward the idea, and the projects she led the group to execute, so far, except for the large aircraft project, everything else has been done very well. Machine tools, mobile phones, and engines are all developing very well, even real estate is doing well, and their research tasks are also going smoothly in the joint research on the large ethylene equipment project. There is only a large aircraft project, and after so many years of continuous large investment, not much progress has been made, as if it is a bottomless pit, which makes her reluctant to hand in the project at the beginning, and now she can't wait to throw away this burden.

"When you go downhill, there will be a process, a hundred-legged insect, dead but not stiff. Li Ya smiled, "I've invested in it for so many years, and I don't care about the next few years." "On the large aircraft project, Li Ya has invested more than 300 million US dollars, which is not counting the investment of RMB. If Li Ya hadn't made a few votes in the stock market, his group would have collapsed long ago.

On December 10, Guo Yuhua called and said that he would come to China for tourism on New Year's Day.

Li Ya smiled: "Okay, you come over and I'll be your tour guide." ”

"You're a tour guide? Forget it, you're the boss, I can't afford to hire one. Guo Yuhua said with a smile. They have talked a lot over the years, and Li Ya has been to several scenic spots, and he knows it. Let Li Ya be a tour guide, and it is luck not to get lost.

"Come back, bring auspicious wealth back by the way. Li Ya said, "Now that we are free, we plan to live in the village for a period of time every year in the future, and there is also a place to have fun in the village." ”

"Jixiang gave birth to several litters of cubs, and if it weren't for giving them away, the ranch would have become a dog farm. Guo Yuhua said with a smile.

"Then bring two more. Li Ya smiled, "I'll take it with me to hunt when I go back." ”

Guo Yuhua brought the dog back, and when Jixiang Fugui saw Li Ya, he barked. Although he hasn't been to the ranch all these years, Ji Xiang Fugui obviously remembers him.

"Lao Guo, you still remember me when you see auspicious wealth. Li Ya said with a smile. While saying that Li Ya opened the cage and let Ji Xiang Fugui go to the yard for activities.

"Forget about these two. Guo Yuhua said, "I can't control them." You also know how strong they are, so don't hurt you. ”

"It's fine. Li Ya smiled, "I can't control these two little guys?"

After the cage was opened, the two dogs came out and really didn't attack Li Ya, and they wagged their tails around Li Ya like Jixiang Fugui.

Li Ya touched a dog and said, "Let's play in the yard." Then he took Guo Yuhua into the house.

After talking about what they have experienced over the years, Li Ya also knows the current operation of the ranch.

For so many years before, the ranch had to hand over a large amount of profits every year for domestic investment, so there has been little development, relying only on the superior quality of the pasture products. Fame depended on beef, and milk was only sold to processing factories and did not make much money.

However, in the past two years, Li Ya has sufficient funds in his hands and has not taken the profits of the ranch, so Guo Yuhua began to build a milk powder company and establish his own brand after asking for instructions. For more than a year, the farm's milk powder has become more and more famous, the supply exceeds the demand, and the ranch has also made a lot of money.

"That's good. Li Ya said, "If you hadn't made a profit, the ranch would have expanded several times long ago! ”

Li Ya mentioned the expansion of the ranch, which was the purpose of his trip, so he said: "Boss, I came this time to tell you about the expansion of the ranch. ”

"Expand the ranch? Yes! You're running so well now, and I'm certainly going to agree with such a lucrative business. Li Ya said, "Where are you going to choose the new ranch?"

"United States. Guo Yuhua said, "The land is sparsely populated and the economy is developed, which is a good place for us to develop pastures." Guo Yuhua has considered this aspect, the United States has a large population and a developed economy, which is very suitable for ranching.

"Okay. You have a good look at it. "But the pastures are not in the lower reaches of the river, and the pollution downstream is more serious than the upstream." We care about quality, and we have to focus on that. Otherwise, you won't be able to sell it at a high price, and it won't be profitable. "Since Guo Yuhua wants to expand the ranch, let's expand it. Although Li Ya doesn't like the United States, he is willing to open a ranch in the United States to make American money, and Li Ya is willing to do such a good thing.

"Okay, I'll look it closer. Guo Yuhua said.

"When I bought it, I was informed, and I went to see it too, and I enjoyed the ranch life by the way. In addition, since it is going to be expanded, let's do another one. Li Ya said, "Russia is vast and sparsely populated, I'll also go over there to get one, you have to send someone to manage it." ”

Li Ya has another ranch, which means that this is also his job, which he knows very well. However, Russia also understands that the sequelae of the year have not yet been cleared, and the economy is sluggish. "Russia, they can't do it economically. Guo Yuhua said. The economy is sluggish, and there are not many people who are willing to spend money on their high-priced products, and it is not cost-effective to build a ranch.

"Not now, doesn't mean it won't work in the future. Li Ya said, "Moreover, this side is close to China, and the products can also be sold to China in the future." You also know the situation in China, there are many people and little land, and it is too difficult to build a large ranch here, and it can only be contracted, not bought out, and it is better to build one in Russia nearby. ”

Just do it, now there is more than a month before the Chinese New Year, Li Ya chose Transbaikalia Krai as his destination, mainly because it is close to this place and has convenient transportation. He planned to take advantage of the previous year to inspect it, and if it went well, he signed the contract, and he could start building a ranch in the spring.

However, Li Ya ignored the climate, and it was winter. In January in Russia, even in Zabaikal, which is close to China and the southernmost point, the temperature is more than 20 degrees below zero.

"It seems that you should do it on the American side first, and then wait for the weather to warm up. After Guo Yuhua reminded him, he knew that Russia was in the cold winter at this time, and Li Ya said helplessly. Guo Yuhua looked at Li Ya's appearance and didn't dare to laugh, sometimes he felt that Li Ya was shrewd and his ideas were simply golden ideas, but sometimes Li Ya would always forget common sense and be out of touch with reality, which was funny when he thought about it.

"Good. If all goes well, you'll be able to play at the new ranch after the start of the year. Guo Yuhua said.

"I'm going to hunt and hunt a big bear. Li Ya thought that when he first went to Vancouver to open a ranch, he often went hunting, and his interest came, so he said proudly.

Hunting a bear is the biggest dream of countless people who love hunting, and Li Ya also wants to hunt a bear, not to prove his ability, but to get a bear skin himself. Tiger skin, tiger bones, bear skins, Li Yadang bought a few pieces, but he didn't make them himself, which is a bit of a pity. Now domestic tigers and bears are not allowed to fight, and there are no tigers in the Americas, but bears can still be hunted and killed, and they can get a skin back.

"I think it's better to forget it. Boss, this thing is dangerous. Guo Yuhua persuaded. Li Ya had hunted before, but he had never hunted bears, so if there was any accident, then his responsibility would be great.

"It's okay, there's something called a gun. Li Ya said, "I didn't go empty-handed, of course I went with a gun." There will be no danger if you can level it with one shot. Even an AK47 can beat a bear into a sieve. Although Li Ya said this, he also knew that Li Ya's marksmanship was very good, but for his own sake, he still decided to clean up the bears around the pasture first and eliminate the danger before it started.

"Where are you going to travel this time?" asked Li Ya after finishing his business.

"First go to the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum to worship, and then walk around. Guo Yuhua said. This is the most important itinerary for those of them who have been abroad for many years and were born abroad after returning to China - a journey to find their roots!

"The Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor, I haven't been there yet. Li Ya said, "Li Lin hasn't had a holiday yet, and the weather is very cold, so I can't go this time." ”
