One hundred and sixty-three, the auction of Boer goats
Tang Ming sighed with some emotion in his heart: "Sometimes there is so much money that I don't know how to spend it, and it's also a trouble. ”
However, thinking about it this way, he still hopes that the more money he has, the better, and what does his current leisurely life depend on is not relying on money!
After thinking for a while, he walked out of the villa and walked to the beach, Tang Jianguo and Su Huiqin were walking on the beach, and the big fat and the second fat and Xiaobai were running around on the beach, having a great time, leaving rows of small footprints on the sand.
Tang Jianguo saw him coming over and asked, "Son, is the matter of the plane over?"
"Hmm. Tang Ming nodded and said, "Just finished talking." ”
Tang Jianguo said: "The New Year is less than a month away, I discussed it with your mother, and I plan to return to China in a few days, and come back after the New Year." ”
Tang Ming persuaded: "Dad, it's winter in China now, what are you going back to do on such a cold day, you and my mother will stay here, wait until a few days before the Chinese New Year, let's go back, and then go back with Cornelia." ”
After hearing this, Tang Jianguo hesitated a little and said, "I'll discuss it with your mother again." ”
Tang Ming knew that Su Huiqin would definitely agree when she heard that she was going to take Cornelia back for the New Year, so he didn't say anything more.
After staying at the beach house for two days, Tang Ming drove his parents back to the ranch in a helicopter.
After the helicopter landed, Tang Ming got down from the cockpit, walked to the back and opened the door of the helicopter, the big fat and the little white jumped down from inside, and then the parents also came down.
They walked to the door of the villa and saw Song Qian walking in the yard with a big belly, Su Huiqin walked over and talked to Song Qian.
Tang Ming also cared about her for a few words, and then walked back to the house.
He took out his computer and posted two messages on the ranch's website, the first was to increase the number of cattle to be auctioned from 250 to 330, and the second was to auction 500 Boer goats.
Since the last reporter's interview, the traffic of the website has increased a lot, and as soon as Tang Ming sent out these two pieces of information, someone called.
They were all calls from dealers, most of them asking about increasing the number of cattle auctioned, and only a few about the Boer goat auction.
This made Tang Ming a little depressed, is mutton not as popular as beef? It must not be the case, but the dealers do not understand the quality of the mutton in the pasture, so Tang Ming decided to use the old method and let the dealers taste the taste of mutton before the auction.
……
Today was the third auction in December, and in the morning, Allen came to the cowshed with five or six cowboys, and drove out three hundred and thirty cows from the cowshed.
These cows came out of the small barn to the wide outside, feeling very comfortable, bowing their heads and leisurely eating the fat pasture, not knowing their fate at all.
While Alan was counting the cows, Mike rode a horse, led two cowboys, and drove a flock of sheep over.
Mike walked up to Allen, rolled over and got off the horse, and said, "Allen, you count the cattle and the sheep again, today is the first auction of Boer goats, don't have a problem." ”
Alan said, "Got it, Uncle Mike. ”
Alan counted the cattle twice, and after confirming that there was no problem with the number, he walked to the front of the sheep and counted them.
At this time, Tang Ming came over on a chestnut, and when he saw that they were busy, he didn't bother.
He stood here for a while, and dealers came over one after another.
"Hi Don, are you okay?"
"Very well, Johnson, what about you?"
“……”
"Don, I'm here again. ”
"Welcome, Charlie. ”
“……”
The dealers all stepped forward to greet Tang Ming, and Tang Ming also responded with a smile.
For the dealers who often come to the auction, Tang Ming can name most of them.
By ten o'clock, the dealers had basically arrived, and today there were more than 240 dealers, breaking the previous record.
Alan walked to the auction table and said: "Hello gentlemen and ladies, today is the third auction of our alpine pasture this month, everyone knows, this auction not only increases the number of cattle, but also a batch of Boer goats to be auctioned, this batch of Boer goats is also carefully raised by the ranch, the taste is very good, I know that you may not believe it, you will think in your heart' The cattle raised in your pasture are good, it does not mean that the sheep are good', in an idiom from our boss's hometown, it is empty talk, so our boss has prepared some food made of mutton for everyone, let everyone taste the taste of mutton, and everyone will know that what I said is true or false. ”
As soon as Allen's words fell, seven or eight cowboys walked down, each carrying two large insulated boxes with lamb chops, roast lamb shank, boiled lamb and so on.
This is because Tang Ming took into account that dealers come from all over the world, and everyone's tastes are different, so he used several different methods.
However, even so, there were still people who did not appreciate it, and one of the dealers looked at the cowboy next to him and said, "Sorry, I never eat lamb." ”
The cowboy shrugged his shoulders and walked over to another dealer, he took out a piece of mutton from the insulated box, put it in his mouth and tasted it, nodded without hesitation, and said, "It's delicious, it tastes very good, it's the most delicious mutton I've ever tasted." ”
Most of the dealers tasted the mutton, and they were all applauded, and no one said that the mutton was not delicious.
Tang Ming watched from a distance and felt very satisfied.
After most of the dealers had finished tasting the mutton, Alan said, "Okay, everyone has tasted the mutton, how do you feel?"
"The taste was very good. ”
"Delicious beyond imagination. ”
“……”
All kinds of praise poured in, which made those who did not taste the lamb regret a little, but Alan did not give them another chance to taste it, and announced that the auction was open.
First of all, a cowboy drove two cows to the front of the auction hall, and Allen introduced the specific situation of the two cows and started the auction.
The auction went on quickly, and in just over an hour, the auction of 330 cattle was completed, and then the auction of Boer goats began.
Unlike cows, which are divided into groups of two, goats are divided into groups of ten, and 500 heads are divided into 50 groups, and the reserve price for each group is 20,000 Australian dollars, and each increase cannot be less than 100 Australian dollars.
When Alan said the price, the dealers below looked at each other, and then someone started bidding.
"I'm giving 21,000 Australian dollars. ”
"Twenty-two thousand Australian dollars. ”
“……”
The competition was not too fierce, and the first group of goats ended up selling for $27,300.
Then the second group went up for auction and sold for $27,700.
Then the third, fourth, and fifth groups are auctioned......
From the seventh group onwards, the auction became more intense, surpassing $30,000 for the first time.
Soon, 50 sets of goats were sold off for $1.54 million, an average of $3,080 per sheep.
For this price, Tang Ming was quite satisfied, and after watching the auction, he rode away on chestnuts.
