Chapter Fifty-Four: Hawke, the Ranch Manager

Chen Mo looked at the three main houses of the ranch.

Three main and main buildings side by side, steppe style building, two floors. It's not luxurious, but the low, expansive structure is close to the natural scenery of the ranch.

The grasslands of the pastures are fenced, and in the distance are hills with no peaks in sight, undulating and undulating. To the west, you can see the high mountains, which are no longer pastures. Over there is the California Coast Mountains, and the famous California Redwoods Park is in that direction, Mendocino County. In addition, the small town of Paskin is also under the jurisdiction of Mendocino County.

To the north, there are large tracts of undeveloped land, partly used for cattle and more uninhabited wasteland, with rolling hills with scattered trees, exposed rocks, sloping bushes, clear streams, lakes and bare hard land......

The Granson family has always wanted to develop the ranch, but the location of the ranch is too remote, and another problem is funding.

For example, the three main houses where the three brothers of the family now live were originally used as homestays, but there were too few tourists who came to the ranch, and later they simply gave up the plan to visit the ranch......

White and the others accompanied Chen Mo and the others back to the sky, and after waiting for a while, a Ford pickup truck drove in.

"Oh God, you really bought it. Elson laughed and jumped out of the car.

Chen Mo stepped forward and hugged Elson, and said with a wry smile: "I feel like I've bought a mess, and I don't know what to do." ”

"How could it be bad. We came by Highway 306, and there were very few green meadows along the pastures, and there was still a large green meadow in the Granson Ranch, which was very rare. Let me introduce you to Hawke, Conwright's father. Elson looked at the man beside Conlight and introduced, "My boss, Chen Mo." ”

"Hello Mr. Chen Mo. ”

"Hello. Chen Mo introduced White and them, pointed to the house behind him and said apologetically: "The ranch I just bought hasn't had time to clean up yet." ”

"If you don't mind, a few of you will come to my place and sit down and talk. White gestured to the cabin in the distance.

"Take us over and sit. ”

White lived in a very basic but clean place.

Hawke smiled and looked at Chen Mo: "Let's get down to business." The general situation of the Granson Ranch is on the way, and Mr. Elson has already told me about it, and I now want to know how much you are willing to pay for me. ”

"250,000, annual salary. ”

Hawke frowned: "My previous annual salary was 200,000. Coming to this remote place is only $50,000 higher, which is not very attractive to me. ”

Paskin Town is a remote place, and it is very inconvenient to travel and buy things. If Hawke says yes, he'll have to move in......

"I'm talking about taxes, 250,000 taxes. Chen Mo touched his chin and said. What he just said was not after tax, but looking at Hawke's appearance, the pre-tax income of 250,000 really can't attract him.

Hawke looked at his son and nodded, "I need to know more about the ranch." Mr. White, can you show me around and explain the ranch in detail. ”

"Of course. White happily agreed.

A manager with an annual salary of 250,000 should make a huge difference to the ranch. At the very least, the Granson Ranch will not be used only as a toy for the rich on vacation......

The group walked towards the cowshed.

Wooden cowshed, color steel tile roof, one cowshed can raise a hundred cows.

The role of the barn in the pasture is to 'fatten'.

The calves live in the pasture for six to seven months and then go into the barn to be raised with grain......

"Boss, I have an idea. Conlight followed behind Chen Mo and whispered.

Say. ”

"The ecological construction of Canyon Manor is actually very leisurely. All four of our departments are about to become full-time shepherds...... I wondered if we could be involved in the work of the ranch since it was an ecological plan. We know that you buy the ranch to provide reliable organic fertilizer for the estate, make organic fertilizer, and we also know how to mix and distribute ......."

Chen Mo cut a cigar for Conlight: "If you don't talk about this, I will let you come over." The ecological planning of the estate is a long-term project, and there is not much concrete work to be done. In the future, you will mainly work on the ranch, but you will also have to take care of the work of the manor......"

Hawke looked at the simple cowshed and shook his head, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to Chen Mo, "I don't know how much money you will inject into the ranch?"

"Eight million. ”

Hawke didn't have too many questions and didn't look elsewhere, and promised, "I'm willing to come." "With eight million dollars, even a piece of wasteland can be built here.

An annual salary of $250,000 after taxes, Hawke is very satisfied with this. The size of the Granson Ranch is large enough, and with an additional eight million injections, it is simple to develop.

After determining these, Chen Mo and Hawke signed the contract, and there was also a contract for the five White people.

Grazing is the main economy of Paskin Town, where there is little industry and there are two quarries. The income of the townspeople is not high, and a cowboy like White used to earn $2,300 a month. Conn and Robert are paid even less, less than $2,000 a month.

Under the new contract, White will get $2,500 a month, and Conn and Robert will get $2,300...... The salary is not high, but for a small town in the backcountry, it is not bad.

After signing the contract, Hawke was ready to leave: "I'll go home and pack my bags and officially come to work on Friday." ”

"No problem. Can you complete the handover before Friday for your current job?" Today and Tuesday, there are only two days left for Hawke, Chen Mo asked uneasily.

"My labor contract with Xiningduo Ranch expired a month ago and has not been renewed. Just go back and hand in a letter of resignation this time......"

"Boss, I'm going back too. Conlaite said.

"OK, bring your people when you go back, come over by Friday. ”

Elson looked at Chen Mo: "Do you need me to stay and help?"

"No, I don't. I'm going to go out for two days, and White will watch over me on the ranch. Chen Mo smiled and looked at White.

White nodded hurriedly: "I will take care of the ranch." ”

Watching Elson and his party leave, Chen Mo stretched his waist, took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, it was past two o'clock in the afternoon. Elson and the rest of the group probably didn't eat......

Thinking of this, Chen Mo was also a little hungry, and said to White, "Is there a restaurant in the town?"

"There is no restaurant. White spread his hands helplessly and said, "The only store in the town is at the gas station, and you can only buy things like tobacco and alcohol." ”

"Where is the nearest store?" and if I want to buy toiletries......

"In Cornin. ”

"This place is really remote. Chen Mo's eyebrows twitched: "There is no store in that Filna town." ”

"Filna's town, their town doesn't have as many people as ours......" White scratched his hair, "I still have fresh beef at home, come and eat with me." ”

"Okay. ”
