Chapter 783: Go to the Ranch and Have a Look

"I believe in you, Mr. George. Looking at George, Zhao Baliang spoke. Zhao Baliang also had no choice, and now all his hopes were placed on George.

As George said just now, it is unimaginable to manage a large ranch of 700,000 hectares. And among so many people, only George is considered to be experienced.

"Mr. Zhao, thank you for your trust, I will definitely try my best to help you manage the ranch. Zhao Baliang's trust in George also moved George very much. After all, this is equivalent to a gamble, and the stake is a large ranch worth hundreds of millions of yuan.

Because he was worried about the ranch in his heart, George did not continue to drink with Zhao Baliang, but began to make phone calls.

George called his old friends one by one and invited them to his home. George's goal was simple: to convince them to help him manage the 700,000 hectares of pasture.

The day after George's call, about twenty people came to George's house. The appearance of so many people filled George's house at once.

Old friends for many years met each other, and George was naturally very happy. Because there were so many people, there was no room to sit in the house, so George simply set the meeting place in the courtyard in front of the house.

More than two dozen people, gathered around a large table, ate barbecue and drank beer at the same time, and made some jokes by the way. Although Zhao Baliang couldn't understand what they were saying, fortunately, Ichiro Yamamoto kept translating for him, so it didn't make Zhao Baliang feel embarrassed.

It was only at this time that Zhao Baliang knew the importance of learning a foreign language well. Of course, it would be even more perfect if people all over the world spoke Chinese.

"Oh...... George, are you crazy?" Hearing George say that he was going to take over the management of a 700,000-hectare pasture, George's old friend John immediately said: "George, do you know what it means to have a 700,000-hectare pasture?

"Yes, George, don't you think that a few old men can take care of a 700,000-hectare pasture, do you? We are all old, so let's leave these things to the young people to do!"

Obviously, none of George's old friends had the idea of tending to the ranch. Indeed, I don't want to take care of this matter anymore.

However, since George called them, it means that George has some confidence to persuade them. Looking at these old friends, George said: "We have worked in the ranch all our lives, and our greatest wish is not to manage a bigger ranch and take care of more cattle and sheep?

"George, are you crazy?" Claude stood up directly and said, "George, it's a 700,000-hectare pasture, even if we are exhausted, we may not be able to turn every piece of land in that ranch." In this case, do you think we can take care of that ranch?"

"Yes, George, we're old. Leave these things to the young people to do. John spoke again.

Before George could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a few of his old friends. The others, although they have not yet spoken, are also very clear and do not want to take over the ranch. They are all people who have worked on ranches all their lives, and naturally know what it means to have a pasture of 700,000 hectares.

They don't want to be so old and have a reputation for ruining the ranch. That's a great shame for those of them who have worked on the ranch all their lives!

George certainly knew the worries in their hearts. However, George really wanted to try. A 700,000-hectare pasture, once they can manage it well, it will be enough for them to brag about their children and grandchildren.

George still wanted to persuade them, but George's old friends didn't want to listen to George.

George had no choice but to give up the idea of continuing to persuade them for the time being.

Although the banquet in the evening did not discuss this matter, George and his old friends reunited, and it was really lively. A lot of people drink too much.

The next day, it was Zhao Baliang who woke up first.

"Mr. Zhao, what should we do?" Ichiro Yamamoto looked at Zhao Baliang and asked. George had a heart, but his old friends didn't. Therefore, George can only be regarded as powerless. He can't play the ranch alone.

"I think they must have been away from the ranch for too long...... Zhao Baliang looked at the old people who were struggling and sleeping on the sofa and floor, and said, "I plan to invite them to the ranch to have a look." I'm sure that at the ranch, their passion for the ranch will be stimulated!"

Although Zhao Baliang is not a herdsman, he is an out-and-out farmer. He had seen his ancestors' love for the land. Take the current Lushui Village as an example, although the village has become rich, the villagers are rich. However, there are still some old people in their fifties and sixties in the village, who take farm tools to weeding the fields from time to time. It wasn't who told them to go, but they did it spontaneously.

They have worked in the land all their lives with their faces to the loess and their backs to the sky, and they can't do without the land.

The same goes for the workers on these ranches. They have been working on the ranch for so many years, and although they are now retired, once they are allowed to return to the ranch, it will definitely make new waves in their hearts.

At noon, Zhao Baliang told George and Joseph about this.

Both George and Joseph agreed with Zhao's idea. Therefore, George offered to go to the ranch together, which can be regarded as reminiscing about the days when they worked on the ranch.

For George's proposal, everyone is still very excited. Although, they also knew that George invited them to the ranch, it must have been to convince them to work on the ranch. However, as long as they are firm in their hearts, they are not afraid!

"Okay, then let's go to the ranch. Come to think of it, I haven't been to a ranch for almost three years. I miss the air of the pasture and the smell of the earth!" said one of George's close friends.

Others chimed in, offering to visit the ranch.

Since everyone agreed, Zhao Baliang hurriedly asked Ichiro Yamamoto to rent a car.

Ichiro Yamamoto rented a bus to take these old ranch workers, who were over 60 years old, straight to Zhao Baliang's ranch.

In the past few days, Liu Yun has been busy and anxious, but she doesn't have any clue. The affairs of the ranch are not something she can sort out alone. Looking at the messy ranch affairs, Liu Yun even thought about giving up.

However, Liu Yun knew that she couldn't give up. The importance of pasture to Zhao Baliang's future development is self-evident.

Moreover, Liu Yun herself is a catering, and catering is inseparable from these high-quality beef and mutton. So, this ranch, she has to find a way to take care of it.

Seeing the old man who brought back a car by Zhao Baliang, Liu Yun was a little confused. However, Liu Yun knows Zhao Baliang, Zhao Baliang has never done anything at a loss, and he must have his purpose in bringing these old men back. Therefore, Liu Yun greeted him warmly.

After briefly explaining the matter to Liu Yun, Zhao Baliang warmly invited George and them into the castle to rest for a while. At the same time, he instructed the workers to prepare the most authentic ranch meals, and greeted George.

After eating, it was also dark. George and the others also drank a lot of wine, Zhao Baliang asked George and them to rest first, and take them to the ranch tomorrow for a good turn.

After George and the others rested, Liu Yun finally had the opportunity to pull Zhao Baliang to ask about this matter. Could it be that Zhao Baliang plans to let these old men manage the ranch? Isn't Zhao Baliang crazy?

Who doesn't know that managers must be young and strong, otherwise how can they have that energy?

"Sister Liu, I'm not crazy. Looking at Liu Yun, Zhao Baliang said: "These people are all people with more than 20 years of experience in ranching. Many of them have also been ranch managers. I invited them in the hope that they would soon fill the positions vacated by the Rothschild family's relinquishment of managers. So that the ranch can be back up and running as soon as possible!"

"But...... As you just said, these people are at least 60 years old. People of such an age, can you expect them to still have the energy to manage the ranch?" Looking at Zhao Baliang, Liu Yun asked.

At this age, he has reached the age of retirement. Now, Zhao Baliang wants to let these people manage the ranch, isn't Zhao Baliang crazy?

"Sister Liu, although I don't know about ranching, I am an authentic farmer. I feel that pasture and farmland are the same. Looking at Liu Yun, Zhao Baliang said, "I'll give you an example of Lushui Village. Once, we had a college student village official in Lushui Village, who graduated from the College of Agriculture. However, when he arrived in the village, he still couldn't play it. However, those fifty or sixty-year-old grandfathers in the village, although they have never been to school and do not know a few big characters, know why the leaves of crops are yellow, when to fertilize, when to weed......"

"Baliang, I know what you say makes sense, but such a person is not suitable to be a manager. Liu Yun knew that these people brought back by Zhao Baliang must have very rich professional knowledge and experience. However, they are not the top managers of the ranch.

"Sister Liu, I think they are suitable for being foremen. Zhao Baliang expressed his thoughts, "My idea is that the overall operation of the ranch will be discussed with these foremen on the development direction of the ranch, and then these foremen will be responsible for the implementation of specific affairs and supervise the implementation of the work plan!"

After listening to Zhao Baliang's words, Liu Yun couldn't help but nodded. Indeed, although these experienced old people are not suitable for being senior managers, they are very suitable for being grassroots managers. Moreover, Zhao Baliang also changed the management method of the ranch, he wanted to operate the ranch as a whole, and then artificially divided it into several small pieces. In fact, this is the form of making a plan as a whole and splitting the plan to complete the task in modern business management.

It's a good idea to break down a big plan into many smaller ones and then have these experienced people help you complete them. It's just, have these people agreed to come to work?

"Our priority now is to convince these people to agree to stay on the ranch. Looking at Liu Yun, Zhao Baliang said.

Suddenly, Liu Yun was speechless for a while and asked, "Are you saying that they haven't agreed to stay and work yet?"
