Bill is Xiao Ping's partner in Australia, and the two sides have always gotten along very well and have always maintained good communication. Bill would often call Xiao Ping and tell him about the problems he was encountering in the business. For example, the sales of vegetables are too good, the next batch of seeds needs to be delivered in advance, a certain vegetable in the market is particularly popular, ask Xiao Ping if he can provide the same kind of seeds, and so on.

Speaking of his heart, Xiao Ping took good care of his partners, and even after the Japanese tried to breed on their own, Xiao Ping only raised the price of seeds and did not interrupt his cooperation with them.

And for Bill, who has always been honest, Xiao Ping is even more preferential, and his requirements can basically be met. As long as Bill can pay for the seeds in time, Xiao Ping is satisfied.

So Xiao Ping was not surprised to receive Bill's call this time, but greeted the other party happily: "Hey, Bill, how is the ranch business doing recently?"

"Very nice. Although Bill tried to make his tone as relaxed as possible, he could hear that he had something on his mind: "Xiao, are you free lately? I want to go to China to meet with you, and I hope to change the contract between us." Provided, of course, if you agree. ”

Xiao Ping asked with some surprise: "Modify the contract, can you tell me your general plan?"

Beal's intention to change the contract came as a bit of a surprise to Xiao Ping. Almost immediately, he decided to terminate the cooperation if Bill was also greedy enough to increase his earnings. Anyway, Xiao Ping has the seeds in his hands, no matter who he cooperates with.

Bill seemed to find it a little difficult to speak, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "That's right. Vegetables are selling very well and are in short supply in the market for high-grade vegetables. I want to expand the scale of cultivation. Carve out a larger area in the pasture to grow vegetables, so ...... I'd like to change the contract. Please increase the supply of seeds. Of course, I would pay according to the quantity of seeds supplied. ”

Zhilu said that Bill just wanted to expand the scale of planting, and Xiao Ping was also secretly relieved. Speaking from the bottom of his heart, he has a very happy cooperation with Horn Ranch, and he is too lazy to find a new partner, so it is naturally good to be able to maintain the same.

Xiao Ping didn't speak in time when he was secretly glad, and Bill on the other end of the phone was a little anxious, and couldn't help but ask: "Xiao, do you think this is okay?"

"No problem, as long as Horn Ranch doesn't resell these seeds. And the vegetables are still sold in Australia, and I agree to increase the supply of seeds. Xiao Ping agreed, and then asked Bill curiously: "But I remember that there is no land to use in the Horn Ranch, how can you expand the scale of cultivation?"

Hearing that Xiao Ping was willing to give him more seeds, Bill was also greatly relieved, and said indifferently: "I decided to reduce the size of the cattle herd and transform the pasture with the most abundant water into a vegetable field." In the past two years, I will directly dispose of the newly-born calves, plus the adult cattle that have been slaughtered, and the plan is to reduce the number of cattle by half in three years!"

Listened to Bill's plan. Xiao Ping's heart immediately moved. His ranches in the United States are all developing smoothly, and the only fly in the ointment is that the number of Kobe Wagyu cattle is insufficient, which greatly wastes the resources of the ranch.

Although Xiao Ping has already bought some breeding cattle and raised them in the demon refining pot to breed calves. But the rate of reproduction is still somewhat unable to keep up with the needs of pastures. Right now, Bill is planning to deal with the newborn calf, which is definitely a good opportunity for Xiao Ping.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ping hurriedly said: "Bill, I was trying to buy a batch of calves." The price will definitely please you, what do you think?"

Previously, Bill also wanted to make a big splash in the premium beef market. So I was reluctant to sell Kobe Wagyu to Xiao Ping. However, now that the focus of his career has shifted to vegetables, it is natural that someone will buy his calf.

So Xiao Ping's statement made Bill very happy. He quickly replied, "Of course, there is no problem, how many calves do you need?

Xiao Ping pondered for a moment, and quickly replied: "It's better for me to go to Australia, there are many things that I need to do personally." ”

This is undoubtedly the best result for Bill, so he naturally agreed immediately. The two chatted casually for a few more moments, and then hung up.

Xiao Ping looked at the time, it was now more than eight o'clock in the morning, presumably Mark in the United States had not rested, so he immediately called the ranch manager.

"Mark, how are you doing?" After the phone was connected, Xiao Ping first greeted the other party, and then asked as usual, "How is the ranch going?"

Xiao Ping, of course, wanted to hear Mark answer that everything was normal, but the ranch manager on the other end of the phone sighed and said, "I'm good, but the ranch has some problems." ”

Xiao Ping asked nervously, "What's wrong?"

"There is a cougar in the pasture and has already killed several sheep. Mark said depressedly: "I am worried that if this continues, this cougar will hurt people sooner or later, and I have submitted an application to the sheriff to kill it, but it has not been approved so far." ”

The protection of wild animals in the United States is very strict, even if a beast bites and kills a domestic animal in the pasture, it cannot be shot casually, but must be approved by law enforcement. And if you want to get approval, you have to go through a certain process, and during this time, Mark and the other cowboys have to live in fear.

Xiao Ping can understand Mark's mood very well, but he can't help it, so he can only remind him: "Recently, let everyone be careful and try not to go grazing alone." ”

"Yes, I also let everyone go out with guns. Mark told Xiao Ping about the measures he had taken, and then asked him curiously, "Boss, what is the matter with you calling me?"

Xiao Ping then remembered the purpose of looking for Mark, and hurriedly asked him: "How many cows can the cattle pen of the ranch accept? I got another batch of calves of Kobe Wagyu and planned to send them to the ranch in person in a few days." ”

Hearing Xiao Ping talk about this problem, Mark's mood immediately changed a lot, and he shouted loudly on the other end of the phone: "Boss, our cattle pen is almost empty, even if you get two hundred calves, it can fit it." And the batch of cattle we raised last year is almost out of slaughter, and some places can be vacated. ”

"I see. Mark's words made Xiao Ping feel at ease, and then said to him: "According to the old rules, I will send the calves to the veterinarian for quarantine first, and I will contact you when they are transported." ”

"OK, contact when the time comes. Mark was also a straightforward person, and hung up the phone after he was done.

Although the construction of the tea plantation has only just begun, the trip to Australia is important and cannot be delayed. After Xiao Ping decided to arrange the construction of the tea plantation, he immediately set off for Australia.

Fortunately, today's Xiao Ping is no longer the bare-bones commander he was back then, and there are many people who work for him. Xiao Ping handed over this matter to Zhong Weirong and Wang Dapao, who was responsible for liaising with the engineering team and supervising the quality of the construction of the tea plantation; as for the work of handling all kinds of formalities and dealing with the authorities, Zhong Weirong was handed over to handle them, and he was even more adept at solving these problems.

Although in the eyes of Wang Dacang and Zhong Weirong, building a new tea garden actually doesn't make a lot of money. However, the two have become accustomed to believing in Xiao Ping's judgment, and since he has decided to build a tea garden, the income will naturally not disappoint.

Therefore, Wang Dacang and Zhong Weirong both patted their chests and assured Xiao Ping that they would work closely together and build the tea garden according to Xiao Ping's requirements.

However, if Wang Dacang and Zhong Weirong knew that Xiao Ping did not build a tea garden to make money, but just wanted to pass on the craft of roasting tea, I am afraid they would all be disappointed. However, for Xiao Ping, as long as he can meet Old Man Qiao's wishes, it is worth it even if he sticks some money upside down.

After arranging the construction of the tea plantation, Xiao Ping flew directly to Australia. He'd been to Bill's Horn Ranch before, and this time he was familiar with it.

Bill had already learned the news that Xiao Ping was coming, and deliberately stayed at the ranch to wait for him. In addition to Bill himself, the ranch's partner Wu Dezhi, Bill's wife Sara and son Bill Jr. are also there.

At the beginning, Xiao Ping saved little Bill in front of the crazy bull, which was the only way to gain Bill's trust and start a cooperative relationship with him. I haven't seen each other for almost a year, and little Bill has grown a lot. The last time Xiao Ping saw him, the little guy could only toddle in the pasture, but now he was running around very lively.

Little Bill is young, and he has long forgotten Xiao Ping, the savior. Just greeted him with a milky voice, and went to play with the two Australian shepherds in the ranch.

But little Bill's mother, Sara, has always been very grateful to Xiao Ping, an Oriental who saved her son. Now that I saw Xiao Ping, I not only gave him a warm hug, but also kissed Xiao Ping on both cheeks several times.

Seriously, being so warmly entertained by his wife in front of her husband really made Xiao Ping a little uncomfortable. However, he also knew that this was just a way for foreigners to express their gratitude, so even if he was not used to it, he could only reluctantly accept it.

Bill really didn't care about his wife's behavior, and even he himself gave Xiao Ping a warm bear hug. These foreigners are like this, and in most cases they do not hide their gratitude. Whether you like or hate someone, you will clearly let the other person know the way.

Relatively speaking, Wu Dezhi was much more reserved than the Bills, he just shook hands with Xiao Ping, and finally made Xiao Ping secretly relieved.

After greeting a few people, Bill took Xiao Ping to the ranch for a walk. Xiao Ping really found that Bill used all the land available on the ranch to grow vegetables, almost to the point of getting a needle.

However, according to Bill, even so, the supply of vegetables from the ranch was still in short supply, so he came up with the idea of reducing the number of Wagyu cattle he raised and further expanding the scale of vegetable cultivation.

Bill is a straightforward person, Xiao Ping doesn't like to procrastinate, and when the two were still on the ranch, they began to negotiate to modify the contract. (To be continued.) )
