Chapter 17: Recruiting Cowboys

The owner of the bar was a bearded old man, a big rosacea nose red and looked particularly happy, Jin Yang walked to the bar, and the rosacea came over and asked, "Hello, sir, do you need something?"

"Oh, give me a beer, I came by car, can't drink more. Jin Yang replied.

"Are you here for a tour?" rosacea looked curious, because it was really rare for a Chinese person to come here by car.

"Not really, I'm a rancher in the neighborhood and I just bought a ranch nearby. Jin Yang said.

Rosacea said in surprise: "You are the rich Chinese who bought the old William's ranch? We have been discussing you just now, and we have been speculating about which bastard from the east has come to Montana again, I didn't expect you to be so young." ”

"By the way, I'm the owner of this bar, you can call me Billy. ”

"Hello, Billy, my name is Jinyang, you can call me Jin. ”

Jin Yang said: "I just bought the ranch this morning, you all know this afternoon, this news is spreading too fast, right?"

Rosacea said: "You just bought a ranch today, why do you have time to come here to drink, you must know that it is at least more than an hour away to drive here from the ranch." ”

Jin Yang said: "There is no way, now the ranch is me, I can't run such a large ranch on my own, so I came to Augusta to recruit a few suitable cowboys to help me." ”

Rosacea said, "Then you've come to the right place, I often have cowboys here for drinks, you see, those guys over there are cowboys." After speaking, he beckoned to a few people who were drinking over there, "John, come here, come alive." ”

John said hello to a few of the people at the table, walked over, and said, "Old Billy, do you have anything to do with me?"

The rosacea gang Jin Yang and John introduced: "John, this is Jin, the Chinese tycoon who bought the old William Ranch, the new owner of the ranch, he needs a few cowboys." ”

"Hello, Jin, nice to meet you, my name is John. John stretched out his hand to Jin Yang and said happily.

"Hello, John, so do I. Jin Yang shook John's hand and said, "I need a few cowboys to help me, I can't do it alone." After saying a lot of John, it can be seen that John must have been working outside a lot, and his skin was very red and very rough.

"Well, you're a big 120,000-acre guy, it's not that easy to serve, and it looks like you need a few more cowboys. Have you figured out how many cows to raise first? We need to recruit cowboys based on the number of cattle and sheep. John said enthusiastically.

"It's not suitable to raise less 120,000 acres of pasture, so let's raise 5,000 cows, 1,000 sheep, and then a dozen horses, how many cowboys do you need to recruit?" Jin Yang asked.

"Then let's recruit 12 first. That should be enough for the time being. John said.

Jin Yang talked to John for a while, John grew up on the ranch since he was a child, he is a pure cowboy, he can't do anything but be a cowboy, but he is a good hand at being a cowboy, he knows everything inside and out, he is the best cowboy around, and the ranch will rely on him more in the future.

Jin Yang and John negotiated a salary, a weekly salary of 1,500 US dollars, and insurance or something. John called a few more people who were drinking with him, and they were all good cowboys.

One was a black man in his thirties named Joey, one was a white guy in his twenties named White, a white man in his thirties named Jones, and the last one was a white man in his twenties or eighteen years old Carter, and finally John recommended a cowgirl Ruth, and the other cowboys were not here today, and John would take them to the farm together tomorrow.

After recruiting cowboys, Jinyang asked them to go back and prepare their own luggage and report to the ranch tomorrow morning. After that, Jinyang went to the supermarket to buy some basic daily necessities, including some beef and other food, and drove back to the ranch by himself.

The next morning, Jin Yang got up and made some breakfast by himself, and after feeding the black boys, John took the other cowboys to the ranch.

In addition to the few introduced yesterday, several other cowboys also came today, one is Joey's wife Dani, the other is a black man about thirty-five years old, named Daniel, and two white guys in their twenties are called: David and Martin.

There are two other who are Chinese, you must know that Chinese cowboys are quite rare, called Tang Shan and Liu Meng, both of whom are twenty-seven or eighteen years old.

Jin Yang chatted with Tang Shan and Liu Meng, they used to be soldiers in China, and they couldn't find a job after being discharged from the army, and they heard that being a cowboy in the United States was very profitable, so they found a way to come to the United States, and they have been cowboys for six years.

It is also very famous in Augusta, because they were Chinese when they first came, they were bullied, but they did not expect that they were born as scouts and quickly gained a foothold here by virtue of their extraordinary skills, and they were very popular with their Chinese hard-working and hard-working character.

They have now also obtained green cards in the United States, and this time they are also unemployed because the rancher they work for is bankrupt, but they didn't expect to come to Jinyang's ranch, because they are all Chinese, so Jinyang can talk to them very much.

In addition to salary and insurance, cowboys in the ranch are outsourced to eat and live, so it is still a relatively high-income industry.

Except for John, everyone else's weekly salary is $1,300, and after making sure that they have no objections, Jin Yang took out the contract that he had drawn up with John yesterday and asked a lawyer for each of them to sign.

Then Jinyang asked each of them to go to the cowboy apartment next to them first and choose one as their future residence, so that they could move freely first.

Jin Yang and John talked about the ranch to see what they needed to prepare, and Jin Yang really didn't know much about the ranch.

"John, tell me what we still lack on our ranch, let's try to buy them all today. Jin Yang said.

"Boss, now it looks like our ranch lacks everything, except for some buildings, we don't have anything else. First of all, the ranch needs several high-horsepower trailers, which are used to pull livestock, and there are also all-terrain vehicles for ranch work, because the ranch is relatively large, you may need to buy a few more, as well as saddles, lassoes, etc., in addition, harvesters, balers, tractors, these we don't have, we need to buy. In addition, we need to repair the fence of the pasture, otherwise if the cattle and sheep run to other people's pastures, it is not only easy to have disputes, but also easy to cause losses to themselves, as well as 。。。。。。 ”

"Alright John, see for yourself what you need, write a list, and we'll go to Augusta and solve it all at once. I really can't remember what you said. "Jinyang's head is big, I didn't expect it to be so troublesome to run a ranch, fortunately there is space, otherwise Jinyang will definitely have to die.

After John made the list, Jin Yang drove to Augusta with John, Joey, Jones, and Carter, and drove the car, listening to standard American country music, and Jin Yang staggered all the way to Augusta.
