Chapter 782: Please
"Zhao, it's not that I don't want to help, it's that I don't have the ability to help you manage such a large ranch......" Looking at Zhao Baliang, Joseph said: "My ranch is only 10,000 hectares, which is already the largest ranch in the vicinity, and your ranch is seventy times that of my ranch!"
Zhao Baliang also knew that his ranch was a little bigger. However, now he urgently needs enough management and professional talents, otherwise, he will not be able to play this ranch at all.
Looking at Joseph, Zhao Baliang said, "Mr. Joseph, please think about it again......
Shaking his head again, Joseph said, "Zhao, I know my own ability, I don't have enough ability to manage such a large ranch. And as you just said, the Rothschild family has taken away all the managers, and now the ranch is in a semi-paralyzed state, and there is really nothing I can do. ”
Although Joseph has been bragging before, Joseph is still very cautious in this matter. After all, it is a 700,000-hectare pasture, and if there is a problem, the loss will be great.
After listening to Joseph's words, Zhao Baliang and Yamamoto Ichiro glanced at each other, and they both saw disappointment in each other's eyes.
"Mr. Joseph, don't you really want to try it?" Ichiro Yamamoto asked, looking at Joseph.
"Yamamoto-kun, it's not that I don't want to try, but I know what I'm capable of. Joseph said sincerely, "However, I can recommend someone to you, and maybe he can help you." ”
"Who?" Yamamoto Ichiro hurriedly asked, and then translated this sentence to Zhao Baliang.
"His name is George, and he is an old worker on my ranch......" Looking at Zhao Baliang and Ichiro Yamamoto, Joseph said: "Although he is only a worker on my ranch, when I was young, he managed this ranch for my father for more than ten years, and he did not retire until I had the ability to manage ......the ranch."
"Mr. Joseph, then take me to meet this Mr. George. Zhao Baliang hurriedly said. From Joseph's words just now, Zhao Baliang heard that Joseph's experience in managing the ranch was all taught by this man named George. In this way, George's ability should be very good.
"It's all right to take you to see George, of course, but ...... But George may not be willing to come out to work anymore, he is already retired......" Looking at Zhao Baliang and Ichiro Yamamoto with some embarrassment, Joseph said: "However, I am willing to accompany you to find George." I'll try to convince him. ”
"Mr. Joseph, thank you!" Zhao Baliang and Ichiro Yamamoto hurriedly said.
Because they were in a hurry to find George, Zhao Baliang and the others simply set off after eating. George lives in Canberra, and Zhao Ba and three people drove directly to Canberra.
After retirement, George's life is still very comfortable. Seeing Joseph with two friends, George gave them a warm welcome.
Joseph briefly introduced Zhao Baliang and Yamamoto Ichiro, and also introduced Joseph to Zhao Baliang and Yamamoto Ichiro.
After greeting Zhao Baliang and Ichiro Yamamoto, George looked at Joseph.
"Little Joseph, why did you come to me today......" George was still very happy to see Joseph. After all, George had worked on Joseph's family's ranch for most of his life and had a close friendship with Joseph's father. Otherwise, he would not have taken care of the ranch for Joseph for more than ten years.
"Uncle George, I came to you today to tell you something. With that, Joseph told Zhao Baliang about the ranch, and then looked at George.
Although Joseph had not yet offered to ask George to work, George had a rough idea of what they were trying to do. Looking at Zhao Baliang and Ichiro Yamamoto with a solemn face, George said, "I'm sorry, the two guests from the East, I have retired, so you better go find someone else." ”
"Uncle George......" Joseph tried to persuade George, but was interrupted by George, "Joseph, I am retired." I don't want anyone to disturb my life after I retire. So, don't mention this matter again. ”
"Mr. George, we will give you a salary that you are satisfied with, and I hope you can ......" Ichiro Yamamoto looked at George and said. Ichiro Yamamoto desperately hopes that George will agree to help him manage the ranch. Because only in this way can Ichiro Yamamoto hope to be able to get the management of the ranch from Zhao Baliang. Only in this way can Ichiro Yamamoto return to Japan for revenge in the shortest possible time.
"Mr. Ichiro Yamamoto, I repeat, I am retired. I'm sorry, I'm not feeling well right now, so I'm not going to entertain you, so please go back. George looked at Ichiro Yamamoto and Zhao Baliang, and drove people away.
You don't need to ask, you also know that Ichiro Yamamoto's words just now completely angered George, so much so that George was angry and wanted to drive them away.
Ichiro Yamamoto also knew that he had made a mistake, and hurriedly said to Joseph: "Mr. Joseph, you help me persuade Mr. George, I didn't mean that." As he spoke, Ichiro Yamamoto looked at George and kept apologizing.
And Zhao Baliang, who had just figured out the situation, was also confused for a while, he didn't know what Ichiro Yamamoto had said about offending George.
"Mr. Joseph, please help me to persuade Mr. George. At this time, Zhao Baliang and they could only count on Joseph.
Joseph nodded, and began to talk to George. For Joseph's sake, George didn't mention the matter of letting Zhao Baliang and them go. It's just that he doesn't have any good looks for Zhao Baliang and Ichiro Yamamoto.
Zhao Baliang and they came so far, although George didn't like Zhao Baliang and Ichiro Yamamoto very much, but for the sake of Joseph's face, he still greeted them warmly.
During the meal, Zhao Baliang once again tentatively asked George if he could help him take care of the ranch.
This time, George wasn't as angry as he had been. After all, at the wine table, George still drank his feelings with Zhao Baliang.
"Mr. Zhao, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's that I'm really old, and I don't have the energy to manage such a huge ranch now. Looking at Zhao Baliang, George also said with confidence: "A large ranch of 700,000 hectares, let alone me, looking at the whole of Australia, no one has this kind of management experience." So, you'd better think of something else. ”
"Mr. George, what if I divide this 700,000-hectare pasture into a dozen or more small pastures?" Break it down to zero and take it slowly.
Shaking his head, George said, "Even if it is artificially divided into a dozen ranches, in fact, these ranches cannot be operated alone, which is no different from a huge ranch. ”
His proposal was vetoed by George, and Zhao Baliang was a little helpless, but there was no way.
Next, Ichiro Yamamoto and Joseph both tentatively put forward several proposals, but they were all vetoed by George with facts.
"Mr. Zhao, do you know how many officials Mr. Governor has assisted him in handling affairs?" Looking at Zhao Baliang, George suddenly asked.
Suddenly, Zhao Baliang and Ichiro Yamamoto were stunned at the same time, not understanding why George asked this.
"Running a state is not something that can be done by one person or a few people, it requires the coordination of many people. The same is true for managing a 700,000-hectare pasture. George looked at Zhao Baliang and said seriously: "So, unless you can have enough managers, otherwise, even if the president comes, he won't be able to play with your ranch!"
George's words made Zhao Baliang think so. It is true that one's energy is limited. And there are so many affairs on the ranch that even if one person is exhausted, he can't complete such a huge workload. At times like these, it takes a big team to do the work.
And now Zhao Baliang, there are not so many people to assist him in managing the ranch. This is Zhao Baliang's shortcoming.
If Zhao Baliang is also like the Rothschild family, with a heritage of hundreds of years, Zhao Baliang can find enough managers in a very short time. However, Zhao Baliang is not. His background is too shallow. As a result, his talent pool is 0.
"Mr. George, do you have any good suggestions?" Looking at George, Zhao Baliang asked. Ichiro Yamamoto and Joseph also set their sights on George at the same time. After all, George has the most experience in running ranches.
Unless there are enough people, God is powerless. George's words once again extinguished the hope in Zhao Baliang's hearts.
"Uncle George, many of your friends have managed large and small ranches, can you ask them for help?" asked Joseph, looking at George. George also had a bunch of good brothers and buddies at the beginning. They are all workers, foremen, and managers of various ranches.
These people have worked on the farm all their lives and have a wealth of experience. Although he is now old, he cannot do manual work. However, it should be possible to do some management work and help train some managers by the way.
After listening to Joseph's words, Zhao Baliang's eyes also lit up, looked at George, and said, "Mr. George, can you ask your friend to do me a favor? You don't want to see such a large ranch go bankrupt, do you?"
Looking at Zhao Baliang and them, George hesitated. Although his life after retirement is not particularly wealthy, George can be regarded as worry-free. His old friends were about the same. George didn't want to disturb their lives after retirement.
It's just that, as a once excellent ranch manager, there is an opportunity to manage a large ranch of 700,000 hectares, and George still wants to challenge it. After all, being able to manage a pasture with an area of more than 700,000 hectares in this life must be an honor that can be talked about from time to time.
Looking at Zhao Baliang, George said, "Okay, I can promise to give it a try." However, if it fails...... "after all, no one has experience in managing such a large ranch, and no one can guarantee that it will succeed."
