In the bar, Zhang Hao chatted with the cowboy named Doug for a while, feeling that the 40-year-old cowboy had a few brushes, but also felt that the cowboy was too oily and had too much appetite. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

So it's better to be simple, Zhang Hao doesn't want to invite a cowboy who mixes salaries on the ranch, let alone invite a working emperor to go back and provide for him.

Although Oregon is not the kind of place full of ranches, and there are indeed not many reliable cowboys here, Zhang Hao knows very well that as long as he gives a good salary, there will be no shortage of good cowboys to vote for.

Although Doug is not going to hire him, Zhang Hao has another option: an old cowboy named Charles Geraig, although he is about 60 years old, his resume looks good, and it is worth going for an interview.

A big pie face, full of white hair, and unshaven, a bit sloppy image, very much in line with the image of a cowboy.

Don't think that the profession of a cowboy is to wear a felt hat and a scarf, let alone carry a revolver in your waist.

That's a cowboy in film and television dramas, and many people will also think that this profession looks romantic. But in fact, the profession of a cowboy is very tiring and dirty, and there is a certain risk in not earning much.

This is not a joke, it is strange to be able to clean up all day long with cattle and sheep;

The cowboy in the film and television drama is the embodiment of romance and adventure, and the cowboy in reality is a bitter life.

I drank a beer with Greg and chatted a few words, and I felt that although Greg was a little bad at dealing with people, he was more reliable, at least in business.

Zhang Hao opened his mouth and said, "You should know that my ranch is just a small ranch, so it is impossible for me to hire more people. Considering your age, do you think you can afford to work on the ranch?"

Greg glanced at Zhang Hao and said, "I'm only sixty-one years old, and I will drink two large glasses of beer and eat a few pounds of beef." I've been working on ranches since I was a kid, and no one knows anything more about ranches than I do. ”

Well, this is a cowboy who refuses to accept old age, Zhang Hao continued: "Although you have been working on the ranch for many years, I have only just become a rancher. But I have my own arrangements and plans for the work on the ranch, do you think you will accept my arrangement?"

Greg put the trophy on the table and said seriously: "You are the boss, of course I will listen to your arrangement." But I'll give some of my advice, I've been working on the ranch for over forty years and I know some things aren't that simple. ”

Well, it's a soft nail, and Greg's meaning is obvious, you Zhang Hao is the boss, and you can naturally point fingers. But as a ranch jack of all trades, Greg will point out some shortcomings.

After thinking about it, it feels like this Greg will be a disobedient type, but his experience is really important.

Zhang Hao is the type with low eyes and low hands-on skills and rich theoretical knowledge, and there is nothing to doubt that he really needs a cowboy with excellent hands-on ability like Greg.

So Zhang Hao said: "I can give you a weekly salary of six hundred dollars, which is not high but not cheap." Of course I'm not the kind of guy who just hires cowboys when he's busy, it's a long-term job, and if we have a good time working together, I think you'll retire on the ranch. ”

Greg fell silent, he needed to think about it now.

Previously, Zhang Hao also briefly introduced the situation of the ranch, Greg knew very well that such a small ranch, if the rancher is hard-working, he can not invite cowboys, or only hire temporary employees at particularly busy times.

But now that the ranch is poor and empty, a lot of things need to be prepared from scratch, which means that the workload of this ranch will definitely not be less.

Although the overall income of the denim industry is not high, Zhang Hao's conditions are only relatively medium. But this one is long-term, and this is exciting.

Because a lot of cowboys can't get a stable job, they just work part-time jobs everywhere, and if they can get a long-term stable job, it will definitely be more stable and insurable for an old guy like Greg.

Thinking of this, Greg said, "If I go to work, will the ranch provide accommodation and some food? You know, a lot of ranches have that, but some ranchers are stingy. ”

Zhang Hao nodded and said: "Of course, it's just that your housing conditions will not be too good, I just bought the ranch, and I live with my family." As for food, although the ranch is not producing at the moment, I will provide you with meat and vegetables every day. ”

Greg thinks this is good, although the salary is not high, but it is better than stability and some small benefits.

But as an old cowboy, Greg still had something to ask, "What do I need to bring? I don't bring my own tools, it's a long-term job, you should provide me with tools." ”

Zhang Hao nodded and said, "Of course, although the ranch is not perfect now, we also lack some tools. But I'll buy what should be bought and won't let you dig into your pocket. All you need to do is bring your clothes and saddle, I'll provide the rest. ”

Greg immediately laughed, this is not a stingy boss, maybe it is worth trying, if it is really good to work together, maybe this will be his last boss.

Greg immediately smiled and shook hands with Zhang Hao and said, "Now I'm going to change my name to call you BOSS, I hope our next cooperation will be happy." By the way, when am I going to report?"

Zhang Hao immediately replied: "You can report tomorrow, of course, the sooner the better." But if you have other things to arrange, I can give you some time. ”

Greg immediately said, "I'll be reporting to the ranch tomorrow, I just need to pack my bags briefly." ”

Zhang Hao is very happy to confirm the recruitment, this is the first employee under him, and we are now the boss!

Greg is also very happy, if he can work well during this time, he thinks he can really consider working on the ranch until retirement, and of course, I hope that this young boss will not only talk good when hiring, but also hope that there will be no moths when it comes to work.

There was no rush to leave immediately, the two of them were chatting now, and it was more Greg asking, who knew very little about the ranch now.

"BOSS, WHAT'S NEXT FOR ME?"

Zhang Hao replied, "Mend the fence and help me choose some cattle to come back, but this time we will only buy thirty cows." Ten calves, ten cows and ten bulls, we can't take care of too many cattle right now, and I still need to find the right pasture. ”

Greg frowned and said, "Boss, is the pasture in the pasture very bad now? If it's only thirty cows, I don't think you can make any money at all." ”

Zhang Hao said confidently: "The current pasture condition of the pasture is really not good, but the carrying capacity is not bad. What I need is to plant new grass and breed cattle in batches, so I'm not in a hurry right now. I don't lack opportunities to make money, what I need is time. ”

Well, since the boss said so, Greg naturally didn't say anything more.

But he sensed that this boss was either too naïve or really capable.

It is not so simple to breed and improve cattle breeds, otherwise the ranchers who have been running the ranch would have been issued a long time ago.

As for finding the right pasture is not a simple matter, the management of the pasture, of course, the cattle breed is very important, but more said that the management of the pasture is to look at the pasture, if the quality of the pasture is high, the natural quality of the cattle raised will also rise.

If the young boss can really improve the breed of cattle or grow pasture, then he really has the ability, and if it is just the wishful thinking of the young boss, then it is estimated that the job will not be guaranteed.

It's not just Greg who has a problem, Zhang Hao also has a problem, some very important problems.

"Charles, do you know any ranchers? The ranch is short of riding horses right now, and I want to buy three horses. Although the ranch is not large, we need a few horses. ”

Greg immediately said: "Of course, if you want Arabian horses and thoroughbreds, I will have a hard time finding them, but if it is just a cheap quart, I will introduce it to you." ”

That's good, Zhang Haoke hasn't bought a horse during this time, not because he doesn't want to ride a horse, he has long wanted to try the fun of riding a horse, but he has been busy.

And now, finally, you can ride a horse!
