Chapter 315: New Ranch Manager

Zheng Xudong came to the studio, first transferred 3 million yuan to the people in the capital who helped handle the transfer of the house, and then began to think about who should manage the farm? This is really a problem, the most important thing is that he has no people who can manage the farm!

"Don't you have a farm, how can you be left unattended?" said Xiao Ai in his head.

YES, HEARING XIAO AI'S WORDS, ZHENG XUDONG REACTED, HE SPENT $63 MILLION TO BUY THE BROKEN O FARM IN MONTANA, WHICH IS 120,000 ACRES, HOW CAN THERE BE A LACK OF PROFESSIONAL MANAGERS!

But although he bought the farm, because of the corruption of the previous manager, Vivian found out by an accounting firm, and lost 20 million in cash and a 30 million dollar villa in Los Angeles. At that time, this matter was handled by Weiwei's security rights, and he didn't know who the current farm manager was. He had no choice but to call Vivien.

He looked at the time before the fight, nine o'clock in the morning, and it was nine o'clock in the evening, it didn't matter, it wasn't too late.

"Boss, ah, no, Adong. As soon as she picked up the phone, Vivian habitually called the boss, and she remembered that the two of them had privately agreed to call him Adong when there was no one, otherwise she would have to accept a very fragrant "punishment".

"I've heard it, it's too late for you to change your tune, wait for me to go to the United States this weekend, wait to be punished!" Zheng Xudong said with a smile here.

Vivian felt that a certain part of her body was starting to get a little wet on the other side of the phone, and said with a red face: "You scoundrel, I have changed my mind and want to punish others, okay, I'm here waiting for you to punish me." Adong, did you call me this time to inquire about the manufacturing progress of your generator?"

"No, I'm relieved that you're in charge of the power generator. Vivian felt sweet on the other end of the phone when she heard him say this, and then listened to him continue: "I actually wanted to find another manager who could run the ranch this time, and then I thought of my own BROKEN O ranch, and wanted to find a suitable manager from them, or introduce me to a large area of land in Nevada. But I don't know the manager of the ranch, so I'll call you and ask. After Zheng Xudong finished speaking, he felt a little embarrassed, his ranch and the manager didn't know him, and he was too derelict in his duties.

Sure enough, Vivian laughed on the other side of the phone, "You don't even know the manager who manages the ranch, it's so speechless." Well, I'll have the ranch manager call you back in a moment, can you?"

Zheng Xudong said, "Yes." Then before hanging up, the other side of the phone said, "Thinking about coming to the United States to see me this time!"

"Alas! it's another relationship!" Zheng Xudong sighed.

After a while, he didn't wait for a call from the United States, but waited for a strange call from China, so he answered it, and the other side of the phone said first: "Adong, it's me, Bai Lin." ”

"Sister, it's you, how was you resting last night?" asked Zheng Xudong on the phone.

Bai Lin on the other side of the phone said: "I often rested well last night, and I was very energetic when I woke up this morning. This call is to tell you that I have already boarded the plane to go back to Beijing, this is my private mobile phone number, when I came to Beijing, I wanted to call me, you know? I remember that there is a French sister in Beijing who is thinking about you. ”

"Sister, I will definitely go to see you when I get to the capital, don't worry. After Zheng Xudong finished speaking, he said "goodbye!" and hung up.

"Alas! another relationship!"

Soon after the phone was put down, it rang again, this time from the United States, and after he picked up the phone, a man's voice with a thick northern American accent came from there: "Hello, is it Mr. Zheng?"

"I am, may I ask you are ... ”

"Mr. Zheng, I'm Charlie Carson, the manager of BROKEN O Ranch, and I heard President Vivien say that you have something to do with me. The other side of the phone said very carefully.

"Yes, before you talk about it, tell me about how the farm is doing. ”

"Okay, Mr. Zheng. This year's farm management is slightly worse than in previous years, because I have just taken over the farm, I didn't expect that there are many loopholes in the operation, the previous manager left a lot of problems, I am solving them one by one, now the farm has 5,000 cattle, including 1,500 cattle, 3,500 calves, these cattle can almost not be slaughtered until the end of the year, and 1,000 sheep, these sheep can be slaughtered this year in addition to breeding, and some pigs, chickens, ducks are kept for the cowboys to eat. The rest is the grain planted, mainly corn, and the whole farm is planted with corn, wheat, and rice in addition to the pasture, which can be used to feed the cattle in winter. The ranch now has twenty-five cowboys and eight workers. This is the general situation, and it is conservatively estimated that the surplus of the ranch this year will be more than one million, but I believe that the ranch will be better when it is on the right track next year. Manager Charlie reported cautiously on the phone.

When Zheng Xudong heard this, he groaned slightly, and then said to him: "Manager Charlie, you've worked hard for this time!"

"Boss, these are the things I should do. ”

"Manager Charlie, what grade can the current beef of our ranch reach. ”

"Boss, according to the previous manager's business strategy, the cattle in our ranch are all in volume, and we do not pursue particularly high quality, so the best beef in the ranch is the special grade, but there are very few beef in this grade, and most of them are preferred. I plan to start culling a batch of cattle next year and bring in some high-quality breeding cattle to improve the beef grade of the pasture and let the beef of the pasture take the high-end route, which I am also going to report to you. ”

"Very good, that's exactly what I mean. We raise cattle in line with the principle of noble essence is not more expensive, and it is better to kill 100 premium cattle than to kill 100 premium cattle. ”

"Okay, I see, I'll follow your instructions to replace the cattle in the pasture in batches. ”

"Okay! I have another matter to listen to you today. ”

"Boss, please speak. ”

"I bought a bigger plot of land in Nevada, USA, and I'm going to convert it into a prime ranch, so I'm looking for a group of cowboys and workers to work on the new ranch and want to ask for your opinion. ”

"OH MY GOD!" CHARLIE SIGHED WHEN HE HEARD ZHENG XUDONG SAY THAT HE HAD BOUGHT A PIECE OF LAND IN NEVADA TO BE A RANCH, AND IT WAS STILL A HIGH-QUALITY RANCH, "BOSS, ARE YOU JOKING WITH ME? YES, YOU MUST BE JOKING WITH ME." Isn't that stupid going to buy land and open a pasture in a place where birds don't pee?" But after he finished speaking, he heard that he didn't speak on the other side of the phone, and became nervous, "Boss, what you just said is true, not a joke?"

"Charlie, what I'm saying is true, I want to hear your opinion. Zheng Xudong felt as if there were 10,000 grass and mud horses running through in his heart, and no one would be too happy to be called a fool.

"Boss, how big is your land?" asked Charlie as he quickly put away his joke.

"Two hundred and fifty thousand acres. EXACTLY TWICE THE SIZE OF THE BROKEN O FARM, TALK ABOUT YOUR IDEAS. ”

"Oh my God, it's so big, well, according to my experience over the years, such a large area, if it can really be turned into a high-quality pasture, my God, I'll calculate, theoretically one acre can raise thirty-five cows, if all the cattle are raised on this land, theoretically eight million and seven million cattle, of course that's impossible, but I think it's okay to raise three million to four million heads, but so many cattle can't be made up for a while, so if you want to reach the maximum breeding state, it will take at least five years to do so, and this includes the cattle that our ranch breeds itself。 ”

Zheng Xudong didn't expect it to take such a long time, it seems that he still takes it for granted, "How many people do you need to manage it?"

Manager Charlie thought for a moment and said, "Such a large area requires at least two hundred to three hundred cowboys and workers. If there are fewer people, it can't be managed, and it's not safe. ”

Zheng Xudong was also shocked when he heard that there were 300 people, he thought that there would be at least 1,000 people! That's 250,000 acres, which is 1,000 square kilometers when converted into metric units, and 300 people still can't be found on such a large area of land.

"Manager Charlie, I want to find a professional manager of the ranch to help me manage the ranch, do you have any good candidates to recommend? Zheng Xudong asked.

Charlie thought for a long time on the other side of the phone, and finally said, "Boss, do you know where Montana and Nevada are in the United States?"

Zheng Xudong thought about the relative positions of the two states in his mind for a while, and then said: "Well, Montana is in the north of the United States (equivalent to the junction of Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang in China), and Nevada is in the south of the United States (equivalent to the junction of YN and GX in China), which is roughly like this!"

"Boss, you're right, these two states have completely different climates, one south and one north, so both workers and cowboys have to be recruited locally. Few Montana locals are willing to work in a place where the climate is so hot and dry, even if it pays well. So, my idea was to find a reliable manager here and go to Nevada and go to the field to recruit workers and cowboys. ”

"Do you have a manager candidate? If so, recommend one. ”

"Hmmm... It's hard to say. Charlie said a little squeaky on the other end of the phone.

"If there's anything bad to say, just say it. ”

Charlie seemed to have made up a lot of determination before he said, "I would like to recommend my daughter Selina Carson as the manager of this new ranch." I don't know... ”

"Hey, what's so hard to say, we have a saying in China that we don't avoid relatives when we are idle. Tell me about your daughter, and if she is up to the task, I can hire her as the manager of the new ranch. ”

"Great, boss. Although my daughter only has a high school education, she has never gone to college. But she has been working on the ranch with her brother and me since she was a child, and she is very familiar with everything on the ranch, and she is also a well-known cowgirl in our local area, and the most important thing is that I found that she has strong organizational leadership skills, and she can usually do the work that is given to her with some cowboys. That's not the case with my son, who is just a great cowboy, but not a leader. It's a pity that I, a girl, didn't like to study when I was a child, so I was willing to herd cows, sheep, and horses with these cowboys, and he did these jobs better than those cowboys, and many old cowboys were very convinced of her. Boss, I believe Selina will be up to the job. Please give her a chance to show her talents. ”

When Zheng Xudong heard it, it was great, he wanted this kind of person with strong work ability, education or anything didn't matter, there were too many people with high scores and low ability, "Okay, it's her, let her contact President Vivian quickly, if you need funds or something, let her contact me and build the infrastructure of the ranch first." ”
