【Chapter 924】 Patrol the Ranch (Ask for Subscription!)
At the end of each year, it is the time when the major financial media take stock of the world's richest people, and the public's attention will also focus on the increase and decrease of the wealth of the richest people on the rich list, and the rise and fall of their positions, which has also led to the rich list becoming a hot topic.
For ordinary people, these super-rich people with a net worth of billions or even tens of billions of dollars are extremely far away from their lives, and everyone is more accustomed to reading the rich list as a fairy tale. Although the changes in the wealth of the rich will not bring any benefits to their lives, it is also interesting to discuss one or two after dinner.
Compared with other rich people on the rich list, Xiao Feng, who is only 28 years old, has always been the focus of public attention since he appeared on the rich list.
The other super-rich people are middle-aged uncles in their forties and fifties, and even old men in their seventies and eighties.
On the 2013 Forbes Global Rich List, only Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, who was born in 84, is a young man under the age of 30 like Xiao Feng, and this time the list is released, Xiao Feng will also become the only billionaire under the age of 30!
Although the list of the richest people in major financial media has not yet been announced, discussions on the Internet about how much wealth Xiao Feng has have begun to appear.
Xiao Feng also saw the discussion on the Internet, but he was not too excited about it, after all, he has been on the global rich list for several consecutive years, which has allowed him to look at these issues with a normal heart.
For Xiao Feng now, the growth of wealth has completely become a change in numbers, and it will not have much impact on his life, so he sometimes rarely cares about how much money he has?
As an otaku dad who rarely goes out, Xiao Feng's wallet basically has no chance to be used. No matter how much wealth you have in your account, it's just a symbol.
…………
When fans on the Internet began to eagerly discuss the 'Jinghu Group' and Xiao Feng's asset composition, Xiao Feng was like a cowboy, patrolling the 'Dream Ranch' to check the various preparations for the ranch before winter.
In Xiao Feng's view, no matter how industries such as 'Mengyao Coffee' and 'Dream Restaurant' are booming. But the roots of the entire 'Mirror Lake Group' are still in the pastures. Only by developing the ranch well can the other industries of the 'Jinghu Group' not die rootless duckweed and have no foundation.
'Dream Ranch' is not only a barometer of the development of today's 'Jinghu Group', but also a century-old foundation of the Xiao family.
Compared to last year, the scale of today's 'Dream Ranch' is obviously much larger, with 80,000 beef cattle in stock almost tripling compared to last year, and the total number of cowboys has also exceeded the 300 mark!
Now, beef cattle are grazing in every corner of the entire pasture. The utilization rate of grassland has increased dramatically compared to last year, but it is still far from the standard capacity of 300,000 heads.
According to the long-term plan of 'Dream Ranch', the ranch will reach 300,000 heads in stock in 2018, and 100,000 beef cattle will be slaughtered annually, becoming the world's largest and best high-end beef cattle production base.
Based on the current 30 kg/head Prime steak of 'Dream Beef Cow', 100,000 beef cattle will produce 3 million kilograms, nearly 3,000 tons of top-quality steak, which will also be a limit for the world's top market.
If the production exceeds the market demand. This may lead to a decrease in prices, which will have a negative impact on the profit level of Dream Ranch.
Of course. Once the demand for top-quality steaks in emerging economic regions such as China increases, the profit expectation of Dream Ranch will be further raised.
After the 'Dream Ranch' is on the right track, it can bring at least US$1 billion in revenue to the 'Jinghu Group' every year, making it one of the pillar industries of the group, which is also to give more support to Xiao Feng's strategy of establishing a foothold overseas."
In order to achieve this goal, Xiao Feng had to brave the bitter cold winds blowing from the Canadian ice field. Ride a quart horse around the pasture in search of a suitable water source to put the 'Space Spiritual Spring'.
Compared with 'Jinghu Ranch', the density and quantity of 'Space Lingquan' of 'Dream Ranch' have been significantly improved, which also makes the quality of 'Dream Beef Cattle' much higher than that of 'Jinghu Beef Cattle'.
If the quality of 'Jinghu Beef' is only ranked second in the global high-end food market, 'Dream Beef' is infinitely close to 'Dongying Wagyu'. It has become the new signboard of 'Jinghu Group'.
Because of the successful breeding of 'Dream Beef Cattle', Xiao Feng, Xiao Tao and others have decided to reduce the scale of beef cattle breeding in 'Jinghu Ranch' and focus on building the project of 'the world's best milk source'.
Starting next year, a large number of old breeding cattle will be processed to other farms, and eventually the number of beef cattle slaughtered by the ranch will be reduced to about 2,000 per year to meet the needs of the domestic high-end catering market. As for the current export mission, it will be gradually taken over by the 'Dream Ranch' to achieve a seamless transition.
Winter in Montana at the end of October has begun, with occasional light snow falling, and in some shady woods, the snow is about 10 cm.
Riding a horse to wander around in this kind of weather requires quite high physical strength and physique, if it weren't for Xiao Feng's body being as strong as a cow because of the 'Qi Trick', and then taking a sip of 'Xiao Family Aging' from time to time, he would definitely not be able to stand it.
Excluding 50,000 acres of mountain forests and water areas, the grassland area of the entire 'Dream Ranch' is as high as 200,000 acres, equivalent to 810 square kilometers, and the 'Dream Ranch' is not a regular rectangle, which also brings more difficulty to Xiao Feng's inspection work.
Originally, Old Bob wanted to arrange people to accompany Xiao Feng to inspect the ranch, but Xiao Feng refused, considering that Xiao Feng brought weapons such as Ba Lei Don hunting guns, hand guns, and self-moving, stepping, and guns, as well as 4 fierce hounds and golden eagles sentry in the sky, there should be no problems, so he didn't insist more.
Of course, just in case, on another quart horse carrying supplies. There are also satellite positioning systems and intercom equipment.
Although Xiao Feng wanted to tell Old Bob and Ma Wanli that he had the 'Zizhu Space' and didn't have to worry about supplies and other issues, he couldn't say it. Xiao Feng had no choice but to follow everyone's kindness and set off in full gear, and even Xiao Qiang, who wanted to keep up, was left in the 'Maple Leaf Castle' by him.
Just kidding, if you bring Xiao Qiang. How can I put the 'Space Spirit Spring' into the water source?
Xiao Feng looked at the map, ready to start clockwise from the boundary of the ranch, follow the various streams, and reach most of the small lakes in the ranch, and then he could successfully complete the task.
Compared to summer, the vast majority of the grass in the 'Dream Ranch' has been cleaned up by lawn mowers and balers, which has increased the speed of the Quarter horse by several notches.
Ever since Black Miracle won the treble during the American racing season, the grass of Dream Ranch has made an immediate name throughout the United States.
Since June, more than 200 horse farms across the United States have begun to purchase 'space forage' from Dream Ranch. It also makes the 'Dream Ranch' a lot of money. Of course, the high-priced forage sold to the horse farm is not ordinary pasture, but a high-quality product concentrated in the 10,000 acres of pasture near the 'Dream Lake'. This plot of land was specially selected by Xiao Feng, and the 'Space Spirit Spring' watered is several times that of other places, and the nutritional value has naturally increased a lot.
Otherwise, Lao Mei is not wronged, otherwise why pay the high price of 500 US dollars / ton for these pastures?
With the exception of a small number of thoroughbreds for Black Wonder and Dream Horse Farm, Dream Horse Farm sold a total of 20,000 tons of Space Forage before the snow fell, making a profit of $10 million. Xiao Feng has already decided. This 10 million US dollars will be used as a year-end bonus for all the grassroots staff of the entire "Dream Horse Farm", "Dream Scenic Area" and "Dream Manor", which has mobilized everyone's enthusiasm.
To know. The total number of employees in the U.S. project of the entire 'Jinghu Group' is less than 1,000, and the average person receives a year-end bonus of 10,000 US dollars, which is undoubtedly good news for grassroots employees with a monthly salary of only 2,000 or 3,000 US dollars.
In addition to the higher-priced 'Space Pasture', the 'Dream Ranch' also sold more than 150,000 tons of ordinary pasture, and the $50 million income can already cover the expenses of the entire 'Dream Ranch' for a whole year.
In the cost of 'Dream Ranch'. The average annual salary of 300 cowboys is $30,000, which is $10 million, and the cost of ranch machinery, irrigation systems and oil is the bulk of the ranch's cost, more than $30 million, plus some of the total expenses. Dream Ranch can rely on the sale of forage to make ends meet.
Of course, this situation will change after the number of beef cattle on the farm continues to increase, and if you want to make a profit, you still have to rely on the 'dream farm' that sells at a higher price!
On the way to inspect the ranch, Xiao Feng saw foxes, rabbits and all kinds of wild animals were busy preparing for the winter, because of the cold and long winter, many animals in the Montana wilderness could not see the scene of next spring, this is the cruel nature.
Sometimes when he encounters some fox families who drag their families, Xiao Feng will also be moved by compassion and put them into the 'Zizhu Space', so that they can fend for themselves in it.
In the 'Zizhu Space', there are already top predators including North American gray wolves, black bears, brown bears, and Bengal tigers, and of course, the reproduction rate of various herbivores in the space is even faster.
The sika deer, red deer, reindeer, etc. that Xiao Feng put in the space have developed into a huge group, living freely in an area of more than 30,000 square kilometers, and they only need to be attacked by natural enemies occasionally, and their lives are worry-free.
After the 'Jinghu Group' got on the right track, Xiao Feng's dependence on 'Zizhu Space' has also been greatly reduced, and it has now become more of a balanced ecosystem.
Along the way, he put the 'Space Spirit Spring', and stopped to take a few photos when he encountered a beautiful scenery, and Xiao Feng's process of inspecting the ranch was quite relaxed. Of course, those biting cold winds and the occasional snow particles are not known to outsiders.
It took Xiao Feng a day to reach the farthest mountain forest from the 'Maple Leaf Castle' and spent a peaceful night in the forest cabin.
Although he has a happy family, Xiao Feng occasionally hopes to be alone quietly for a day or two, and I don't know if this is the hypocrisy of a married man?
This time, visiting the ranch was an important reason to find a quiet space to think about life.
After eating the rabbit that he had tortured by himself, and drinking a few taels of 'Xiao Family Aging', Xiao Feng lay comfortably on the wooden frame bed, feeling the heat brought by the bonfire, listening to some occasional sounds outside the wooden house, and suddenly felt that his whole mind seemed to be cleansed.
Since he and his father went hunting in the mountains last year, Xiao Feng has not listened to the call of nature so quietly for a long time, and now he suddenly feels very moved.
In the past year, Xiao Feng didn't seem to have done much, but whether it was ordering yachts, private jets or 'Dream Manor' in Los Angeles, it consumed a lot of Xiao Feng's energy, after all, this kind of huge transaction can't all be faked.
In addition to the continuous expansion of the scale of the industry, the most important thing for Xiao Feng is the birth of his youngest son and daughter, although it is the second time, it still makes Xiao Feng feel the increased responsibility on his shoulders.
Nini is in elementary school, Yu'er will go to kindergarten next year, the children are growing up little by little, and they are slowly moving towards the age of thirty, which also makes Xiao Feng feel a little sad in addition to happiness.
With a hint of drunkenness, Xiao Feng fell asleep in a haze, and when he woke up in the early morning and saw the snow white outside the house, his mood suddenly improved.
After packing up, riding on the horse and moving on, it took more than half a day for Xiao Feng to return to the 'Maple Leaf Castle' and successfully completed the task of inspecting the ranch this year.
It was difficult for the staff, including Bob Sr., to understand why Xiao Feng was patrolling the ranch, but seeing the satisfied smile on the boss's face, they also realized that their work was recognized.
During the few days of staying at the ranch, Xiao Feng gave great affirmation to the team led by Bob and Ma Wanli, after all, they have performed very well in the past year, especially in the preparation for wintering, and they have done everything in detail and almost perfectly!
In the 'Dream Scenic Area' next door, Yang Yuanhang's performance is not far behind, and he has already made various preparations for the arrival of the Christmas season and ski season, and is about to welcome the arrival of guests from all over the world.
Sometimes, Xiao Feng is glad that he is very lucky to meet a large number ......of capable and dedicated employees!
