Chapter 781: Take the initiative to ask for help
When Zhao Baliang and Liu Yun were thinking hard about a way, Xiao Jian in China also sent them bad news that the import approval of Kobe cattle did not pass.
Since the outbreak of mad cow disease in Japan in 2001, Huaxia has not allowed the import of Kobe beef from Japan, let alone Kobe cattle into the country. Yes, although Xiao Jian has found a lot of relationships, there is still no way.
"Mr. Xiao, I know. Although Zhao Baliang was very disappointed, Xiao Jian's reason was also very clear. The prohibition on the import of Kobe beef and Kobe beef is clearly stipulated, and although Zhao Baliang can find a tough relationship, he can't violate the relevant regulations of the state.
"Mr. Zhao, why don't I find another relationship?" Xiao Jian asked tentatively on the phone.
"No, I'll think of something else. Zhao Baliang said directly to Xiao Jian. At this time, Xiao Jian's phone call was undoubtedly worse for Zhao Baliang. Do you want to give up these Kobe cows?
"Sister Liu, please take care of the ranch here, I have to go to Joseph's ranch. After Zhao Baliang briefly told Liu Yun, he walked out of the castle.
Driving to Joseph's farm, Zhao Baliang found Ichiro Yamamoto.
Seeing Zhao Baliang coming, Ichiro Yamamoto hurriedly asked, "Mr. Zhao, are you going to transport these Kobe cattle back to China?"
Shaking his head, Zhao Baliang said, "We may need to breed Kobe cattle in Australia." ”
"What?" Yamamoto Ichiro was taken aback and said, "Mr. Zhao, the environment in Australia is not suitable for the growth of Kobe cattle. What if something happens to these Kobe cattle again?"
"I know the situation in Australia, but the import procedures for these Kobe cattle have not been completed. Zhao Baliang said helplessly.
When Zhao Baliang was chatting with Ichiro Yamamoto, Joseph also saw Zhao Baliang and hurriedly ran over, "Zhao, welcome you to my ranch again......" For Zhao Baliang, a rich man, Joseph is still very welcome.
Zhao Baliang also greeted Joseph warmly, and then Joseph had to pull Zhao Baliang to drink together, "Zhao, come and taste the wine I just bought from the winery yesterday, I guarantee that you like ......"
Joseph warmly invited, but Zhao Baliang had no choice but to agree.
When drinking with Joseph, Zhao Baliang asked about Joseph's ranch.
Hearing Zhao Baliang's inquiry, Joseph said proudly: "Although my ranch is not big, it is famous far and wide. You can ask, who doesn't know the name of my Joseph? The meat quality of my cattle and sheep is absolutely the best!"
Listening to Joseph burping and bragging, Zhao Baliang was a little unaccustomed.
After Yamamoto Ichiro finished translating, he said: "Mr. Zhao, Joseph is not bragging, I have been here for a while, and Joseph's name is indeed quite big. Moreover, his ranch is also one of the largest in the vicinity. Although there are only more than 1,000 cows......"
"How is Joseph's ability to manage the ranch?" Zhao Baliang asked again. If this Joseph really has some ability, Zhao Baliang plans to fool Joseph to help him.
"Joseph is a careless man and a little sloppy, but his skills in raising cattle and sheep are still very good. With that, Ichiro Yamamoto glanced out and added, "Of course, it is impossible to expect him to breed Kobe cattle. Kobe cattle are too delicate, and they are completely different from the way they raise local cattle......"
Hearing Yamamoto Ichiro's praise for Joseph, Zhao Baliang also thought about it, and asked tentatively: "Mr. Joseph, are you interested in managing a larger ranch?"
"Bigger ranch? Who else has a bigger ranch than mine in the vicinity?" asked Joseph as he looked at Zhao Baliang, and then raised his glass again.
Pouring the wine in the cup into his mouth, Joseph poured it directly, and suddenly, Zhao Baliang was speechless.
After Joseph got drunk, Zhao Baliang had to put this matter on hold for the time being. Then he dragged Ichiro Yamamoto to the courtyard outside to chat.
"Mr. Zhao, you mean that you have a 700,000-hectare pasture?" After listening to Zhao Baliang's words, Ichiro Yamamoto's mouth was open enough to stuff an egg into it.
Nodding, Zhao Baliang said, "Yes." It's the former Rothschild family's ranch, but it's ...... It's mine now. ”
"My God......" Hearing the Rothschild family, Ichiro Yamamoto was even more shocked. Although Ichiro Yamamoto is the illegitimate son of the Saito family, he is also born in a famous family, so he naturally knows the Rothschild family, a once powerful financial predator.
Looking at Zhao Baliang in shock, Yamamoto Ichiro asked, "Mr. Zhao, are you not joking? Did the Rothschild family really give you a 700,000-hectare pasture?"
"I don't have the heart to joke, I'm short of people to take care of the ranch right now. I'll tell you the truth, the ranch is a mess now......" Zhao Baliang said, he couldn't help but shake his head, his current situation is probably that he has taken too big a step and is pulling eggs.
"Mr. Zhao, can you tell me about the situation of the ranch?" Looking at Zhao Baliang, Yamamoto Ichiro asked again.
glanced at Ichiro Yamamoto, although Zhao Baliang didn't know why Ichiro Yamamoto asked this, Zhao Baliang still said it. After a general description of the situation of the ranch, Zhao Baliang said: "With such a large ranch, I don't even know where to start to manage it. ”
After listening to the situation of this 700,000-hectare large ranch, Yamamoto Ichiro was very excited, looked at Zhao Baliang, Yamamoto Ichiro hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke, "Mr. Zhao, if you can trust me, I want to help you take care of this ranch." I promise you, I won't let you down. ”
A large pasture of 700,000 hectares, worth two or three billion yuan. It's the equivalent of having a huge business under your hands. If Ichiro Yamamoto wants to return to Japan strongly, he needs to have enough status and money.
And helping Zhao Baliang take care of this 700,000-hectare pasture is undoubtedly a good choice. Once he helps Zhao Baliang build this big ranch, then he will have everything!
Therefore, in order to be able to return to Japan as soon as possible to take revenge, Ichiro Yamamoto must give it a go, and Zhao Baliang's ranch is his opportunity.
Hearing that Ichiro Yamamoto actually took the initiative to take over this mess, Zhao Baliang was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Ichiro Yamamoto meant. Ichiro Yamamoto now desperately needs enough status and money! and help Zhao Baliang take care of the ranch, once he succeeds, he will have it all.
"Yamamoto, are you sure?" After all, it is not a small business, and of course Zhao Baliang must be cautious.
Glancing at Zhao Baliang, Yamamoto Ichiro hesitated, indeed, he didn't have such rich management experience at all, and managing such a huge ranch at once was a big challenge for Yamamoto Ichiro.
"Mr. Zhao, I want to try. Ichiro Yamamoto hesitated for a moment before speaking. Although there is no absolute certainty, the current situation of the ranch is relatively optimistic. Land, cattle and sheep are money, and what is lacking now is nothing more than start-up capital and management personnel.
Zhao Baliang can provide him with start-up funds, so what Yamamoto Ichiro has to do is to have as many managers as possible to assist him in managing this huge ranch.
Glancing at Ichiro Yamamoto, Zhao Baliang nodded and said, "Okay, then you give me a detailed management plan as soon as possible...... "Zhao Baliang naturally couldn't hand over a ranch worth hundreds of millions to Ichiro Yamamoto so casually, he had to understand Ichiro Yamamoto's true skills.
Ichiro Yamamoto also knew that he had to show some real skills in order to gain Zhao Baliang's trust. Therefore, Ichiro Yamamoto nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Zhao, I will definitely give you a management plan as soon as possible." ”
Joseph slept until noon the next day.
After waking up, Joseph had to pull Zhao Baliang to drink again. Zhao Baliang even wondered if no one else was willing to drink with him, so that Joseph could only drag him to drink? However, today Zhao Baliang was still looking for Joseph to have business, so naturally he would not be in a hurry to drink.
"Zhao, what's the matter for us to talk about after drinking?" Joseph still wanted to drag Zhao Baliang to drink, but Zhao Baliang refused.
"Yamamoto, you can help me translate......" Looking at Ichiro Yamamoto, Zhao Baliang said, "I want to talk to Joseph about something important." ”
"Okay, Mr. Zhao. Ichiro Yamamoto said hurriedly.
Hearing that Zhao Baliang was going to tell him about business, Joseph also temporarily dispelled the idea of drinking, then looked at Zhao Baliang and asked, "Zhao, what do you want to tell me?"
"Mr. Joseph, if you are given a 700,000-hectare pasture now, can you manage it well?" Looking at Joseph, Zhao Baliang asked.
"God...... Joseph was obviously shocked, looked at Zhao Baliang, and asked, "Is 700,000 hectares of pasture enough to fit the whole of Sydney?"
Although Joseph's words are somewhat exaggerated, they are enough to prove how shocking these 700,000 hectares of pasture are. With such a large ranch, only a behemoth like the Rothschild family can have enough talent and experience to take care of it, and it is difficult for others to play around.
"Zhao, I'm sorry, I don't think I can take care of a 700,000-hectare pasture......" Looking at Zhao Baliang, Joseph said in frustration. Although Joseph bragged that he had a strong ability to manage the pasture, he was also a little weak in the face of a 700,000-hectare pasture.
"Mr. Joseph, I want you to take care of this ranch with me......" Ichiro Yamamoto suddenly interjected. Ichiro Yamamoto also knew that he did not have the slightest experience in managing ranches, and if he really managed the large ranch under Zhao Baliang, he had to have someone who was reliable and knew a lot about ranches to help him. The most suitable person for this is undoubtedly Joseph.
Looking at Zhao Baliang and Ichiro Yamamoto, Joseph fell into a deep conflict......
