Xiao Ping was very busy in the next few days, the construction of the ranch was basically completed, and he had to accept all the works with Mark. This is no small matter, and all buildings must meet the requirements stipulated in the contract, otherwise it will cause a lot of problems for the normal operation of the ranch.

Xiao Ping is a complete layman in this regard, but fortunately, with Mark, an experienced cowboy, Xiao Ping himself is much more relaxed. Mark, who had just been promoted to ranch manager, was full of energy, and he would carefully check every key part of the project to make sure that there were no problems before Xiao Ping signed the acceptance letter.

The amount of work to expand the ranch was not small, and Xiao Ping and Mark checked it for three days before it was completed. I have to admit that the local construction contractor is good, and the work attitude is also very serious, except for a few inconsequential minor problems, the serious Mark did not find any major problems.

Xiao Ping was also very satisfied with this, and had a good impression of the construction contractor Dimon. Xiao Ping was originally a cheerful person, so he wrote a check on the spot and settled the balance. He also won the favor of Damon, patted his chest and said that if there is any work on the ranch in the future, even if he goes to him, he must give Xiao Ping the lowest discount price on the premise of ensuring quality and progress.

When the beaming Raymond left the ranch, Xiao Ping and Mark went to the Wildcat Heavy Machinery Company in San Antonio. There he ordered several sets of heavy agricultural machinery needed for the pasture, such as deep cultivators, seeders, multi-purpose harvesters, etc., as long as they were used by the plantation and pasture, none of them were pulled down. In addition, Xiao Ping also ordered two tractors and two large trucks that could transport live livestock.

So much heavy machinery added together. It's a big order. The other party's manager was so happy that he could even see the back molars that had been filled. After receiving the check from Xiao Ping, the manager of the Wildcat Company promised to send the machinery he bought to the ranch as soon as possible.

Although spending millions of dollars at once also made Xiao Ping feel a little distressed, but the large ranches in the United States are all such mechanized production. Such a large land depends on manpower to work, and the labor cost is surprisingly high. In contrast, buying a large machine is just a one-time cost, and you can save a lot of money in the future, which is still very cost-effective in the long run.

Xiao Ping before and the construction contractor when checkout. A check of nearly a million dollars was written. At present, I have spent more than one million yuan to buy these agricultural machinery, and the sum of the two has been nearly three million. This more than 3 million is already Xiao Ping's last cash. He was embarrassed to find that his bank balance was only four figures, and he didn't even have enough money to replenish his livestock for the new ranch.

Fortunately, the newly recruited employees of Xiao Ping's company were very capable, and he only made a phone call to go back. The next day, a seven-figure dollar sum was remitted to his account. This is the income from the sale of vegetable seeds to Rìben and Australia in the last month, and it has finally solved Xiao Ping's urgent need.

With the money in hand, Xiao Ping and Mark, along with two other seasoned cowboys, went to the nearby Alameda County market to replenish the fully established ranch with some livestock. The livestock market is so large that pastures in several nearby counties sell live cattle and sheep here. Generally speaking, the seller will drive the livestock to be sold to a special site, let the buyer choose the one he is satisfied with, and the two parties can negotiate the price before the transaction.

Mark is undoubtedly a regular here, and several traders here are familiar with it. Greet them with a smile as soon as they enter. One of the bald old men glanced at Xiao Ping, then asked Mark with a smile, "Mark." I heard that Lillian's ranch has expanded a lot and has a Chinese owner, I think it must be this gentleman, right?"

"That's right, James. Mark also replied with a smile: "This Mr. Xiao Ping is my new boss, and we are here today to replenish some livestock to the pasture." ”

Listen to what Mark has to say. Several traders are jīng god shaken. Lillian's Ranch has become the largest ranch in Wharton County, one of the biggest news stories in recent times. Such a large ranch must be supplemented with a lot of livestock, and if this transaction can be completed, everyone can get a lot of commissions.

James hurriedly greeted him and said to Xiao Ping with a smile: "Mr. Xiao, welcome to our market." What kind of livestock are you going to buy?"

Pastures in the United States are basically cattle grazing, and relatively few sheep are raised. Xiao Ping had already discussed with Mark the breed and quantity of livestock to buy, and at this time he replied confidently: "About five hundred cows and three hundred sheep." ”

When several traders heard that it was really a big deal, they were all overjoyed, and they all introduced their sell orders to Xiao Ping. However, although Xiao Ping is the boss, he doesn't know anything about how to select livestock, and he puts the job of selecting cattle and sheep to Mark and the other two cowboys.

In front of the new boss, Mark and the others did not dare to be careless at all. Each animal is carefully inspected, and if it is in good condition, it is bought on the spot, and if it is not good, it is mercilessly returned, so that the trader can bring more livestock to choose. Over the course of one day, Mark and the others selected a total of 200 cattle and 100 sheep. Xiao Ping decided to stay in Alameda County first, and continue to select livestock tomorrow to make up for the shortage.

The four of them had discussed before, in order to save costs, they should select more livestock of childbearing age and pregnancy. This allows the size of the herd to be expanded as quickly as possible, making the ranch profitable. So at least half of the two hundred cows are pregnant cows, and more than thirty of the more than one hundred sheep are pregnant. It is believed that it will not be long before these pregnant cattle and sheep can add a large number of livestock to the pasture.

There is a lot of attention to being paid to the selection of cattle and sheep, and it takes a lot of time to inspect each livestock. Coupled with the fact that Mark and others who have to perform in front of their new boss work hard, the time consumed will undoubtedly become longer. Xiao Ping and his people stayed in Alameda County for four days before they were able to buy a sufficient number of livestock.

After writing a check to the traders to pay the final payment, Xiao Ping, Mark and others escorted the last batch of livestock back to the ranch.

After the increase in the number of livestock, the ranch immediately became much more lively. Mark's new cowboy recruited a few days ago immediately got busy, putting the cattle and sheep in the enclosure, making sure that all the livestock had enough water, leaving the bulls in heat alone in the small enclosure, in short, there were many trivial things.

Xiao Ping was not idle, and rode the black devil to jog around the herd to prevent these newly bought livestock from getting scattered. Looking at the busy pasture, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "This is my buddy's own ranch...... It's finally officially open!"

Your support is my biggest motivation. )
