1050 Landlord Gathering
(Thanks to my friend Wang Baxian Turtle monthly ticket encouragement)
According to the living habits of Chinese people, many things are discussed at dinner. As soon as the wine is drunk, after it is in place, the business is naturally easy to discuss.
It's just that Comrade Liu didn't use this method this time, and it stands to reason that everyone should be invited to have a good meal, but today they all changed to red wine.
It's not the regular version of the wine you sell in restaurants, it's the Alex Blend, and you won't even taste it outside.
"Thank you very much for visiting me on my ranch. Liu Heming said the opening remarks.
"First of all, I want to make it clear that I am not trying to win over everyone to create a split, but to seek more cooperation with everyone in the business field. ”
He really didn't hide anything, and even told these people about his war with major grain companies.
In fact, it is useless to conceal it, these people have a lot of energy, and these things of their own have no secrets for them. And I can think about winning them over, and those grain companies will definitely greet them in advance and communicate.
But I am not afraid, these days are actually for them to understand the planting situation in the pasture. For them, all the growing areas in the pasture, including the seed breeding area, are directly open.
Without an intuitive understanding, they won't know how "strong" they are in planting.
Just saying that if you don't practice, it's a fake trick, those crops are real, and now it is the initial contact stage, and there will be real in-depth cooperation in the future.
However, these people are not fuel-efficient lamps, Liu Heming's preparation is very adequate, but they are all serious businessmen. Although this aspect is important, if you want to really cooperate, you have to wait for it later.
So now many people are focusing on Liu Heming's vegetable planting, wanting to see if they can carry out preliminary cooperation in this regard.
Regarding this matter, Liu Heming can only come perfunctorily.
High-quality vegetables can only be grown if they have full ownership of the land, and even if they cooperate, it is difficult to achieve a mutually satisfactory result.
"Dexter, the wine is good, but shouldn't you let us taste the food from your ranch?" said Ted Turner with a smile after a brief discussion.
"Of course, if I could wait for Alex to get out of school and let her help with the cooking, I think the food would taste better. ”
Liu Heming glanced at this somewhat naughty old man helplessly, he has been living in the ranch for so long, and the shops on his food island are all changing the owners of food, and they still want to eat.
I also plan to extend the topic to breeding in the next time, but now I can't help it. Looking at everyone's eyes, it is estimated that today's small party will have to return to eating.
"Okay, okay, I'm going to make some more today for everyone to taste. Liu Heming had no choice but to comply with everyone's small requests.
"But you really should taste these ingredients today, especially these meats. Because my ranch plans to promote cooperative farming projects in the future. ”
"Although it may be that in the future, the taste of large-scale breeding will be worse than that of my farm, but I think the overall quality improvement will still help. ”
"Actually, I'm very happy to be able to bring everyone together. We don't think about whether we can cooperate in the future, as a guest I specially invited, everyone can enjoy it. ”
Anyway, what should be said today is almost the same, and for Comrade Liu, he has achieved his original goal. And as he said, it is indeed not easy to bring these people together, and the friendship of the landlord should also be done.
"Dexter, I'm curious about what odds you have in mind against these grain companies. John Malone, the largest landowner in the United States, came to Liu Heming's side and asked as he walked out.
"In the short term, the odds are slim. But as long as I can figure out the right way to work together, I want to compete with them, it's really nothing. Liu Heming said with a smile.
For this old man, Liu Heming still respects him. Not only because he is the NO.1 who plays with the land, but also because he is also a "godfather" level character.
In the field of cable television, people are well-deserved uncrowned kings. Even Mr. Turner, although he has a good time in the news network, is still a level behind John Malone.
In fact, really speaking, Comrade Liu's connections are also very strong. Ted Turner, who ranks second in the American landlords' circle, and Kroenke, who ranks fourth, have a very good relationship with him.
Although the rest of the big landlords have less contact, they are all considered insiders. Even Kroenke's profits per unit of land are at odds, not to mention the rest.
Among these big landowners, their main industry is not actually agriculture and animal husbandry, and many of them simply like the land. Therefore, I became interested in this small landlord gathering that Comrade Liu greeted.
After all, there had never been a situation where all these landlords had been brought together before, and this was the first time in history.
Since Lao Liu is going to make a move, he naturally focuses on Chinese cuisine. The kitchen in the house was a little unwieldy, so even if the weather was still very cold, the big guys followed him to the big kitchen outside.
Many tourists were a little surprised to see these big landowners gather together. Even if you think about it with your feet, you know that something big will happen in the near future.
When it comes to cooking, Comrade Liu is really at his fingertips. You don't have to care about it, you have to be focused to be able to make this dish well.
As for letting Alex, the little guy, cook for everyone, he has to push it back, and he can only catch up with the next round of parties.
Alex hasn't played enough with the animals since he came back, where is there so much time to serve you, even Comrade Liu hasn't tasted the craftsmanship of the little guy for a long time.
The reporters have also been paying attention to this matter, and now that they have finished plotting, a few of them have "courageously" come over to find out if there is any inside story.
It's just that their idea was very good, but Xiong Da and Xiong Er stopped them with a group of wolves. These were ordered by Liu Heming in advance, and they needed to be used as security guards to maintain order.
Regarding the matter of interviews, Liu Heming himself has an indifferent attitude, but for others, he doesn't know whether people like to be interviewed.
When cooking, something that made Comrade Liu a little depressed also happened.
Not in the meals, but in the bodies. They thought that the properties owned by Turner and Kroenke here were very good, so they also asked Liu Heming if they could build their own houses in Xiangshui Town.
For these people, it is really not bad for money, and the price of land does not need to be considered too much. Lao Liu's headache is the place in the pasture, which is not so easy to distribute.
The area of the ranch is not small, but there are not many places to live with good scenery. A lot of it has been divided, and now these people have come together to buy land and build a house, and it is a little insufficient.
He really couldn't help it, so he called Fernando over. Let him take pictures of the place suitable for building a house, and when he finishes eating, let these people choose again, and talk about whether there is a vision.
"I'm wondering, are you a little unprofessional?" Liu Heming asked jokingly.
"Haha, Dexter, the scenery in your ranch is really nice. Malone said with a smile.
"We all own our own land, but it's hard for us to create this multi-layered landscape on our own land. ”
"And living on your ranch, I think the quality can also be improved. I've had this idea before, but I'm too busy to have time to visit your ranch. ”
"I see, I didn't come here at my invitation to talk about things, but to have a chance to play. Liu Heming shook his head.
"But I suggest you come back in the summer, when the weather is warmer and the view from the pasture is even more beautiful. Especially those lotus ponds, the big lotus flowers are very beautiful. ”
"Dexter, is there anything we can help with?" Marlon asked curiously after seeing that Kroenke was naturally helping to light the fire.
"No, it's just simple dishes, but some of them take longer. For dinner, roast whole lamb, roast duck and roast goose are prepared for everyone. Liu Heming smiled and shook his head.
Today's dish is really simple, just two dishes, one boiled fish and one stewed. These processes are also very simple, and he can save a lot of time with so many people.
But don't think he's fooling, the ingredients used are the best in the ranch. Even the soup in the stew is small lake water.
He didn't know how powerful these people's foodie attributes were, but in line with the principle of maintaining a good relationship, he had to entertain all these people.
The stew is so good, with Kroenke's help to light the fire, Liu Heming, the cook, followed to calm down, and then began to talk with these landlords again. It's all very unorthodox things, and there's nothing serious to talk about.
The little joker playing outside wore a thick cotton jacket and rode a little tiger to run over, and people were also very curious when they saw this.
Then the "security guards" who stood guard automatically made way for the little trouble, which made the reporters envious. But there is no way, people just don't let us in, so we can only secretly take a few photos outside.
