Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
A week after the rain season, that is, on February 25, Ma Wanli began to order employees to plough 10,000 acres of land in the valley and prepare to plant the space grass prepared by Xiao Feng.
This past winter, instead of being frozen by the snow, the 5,000 acres of pasture grass that had been planted were recuperated under the thick snow, and they regained their strength and vitality after the beginning of spring. Today, these lush alfalfa grasses are knee-long, with thick rhizomes and plump foliage, better than any pasture grass Ma Wanli has ever seen.
According to Ma Wanli's experience, the 5,000 acres of pasture in the first phase of the Jinghu Ranch project can be put into normal use, and each acre of grassland can carry at least three cows.
The vigorous growth of pasture grass naturally made Ma Wanli let go of the heart that had been hanging, and took advantage of the warm and snowy season in spring to start the second phase of the ranch project and speed up the construction of the ranch. As an expert in ranch management, Ma Wanli naturally knows the importance of high-quality forage to pasture, and now Jinghu Ranch has the foundation to make great strides.
The total of 15,000 acres of pasture in the first and second phases of the project can only be regarded as a small and medium-sized pasture for countries with animal husbandry in Europe and the United States, but in southern Yunnan, this is an out-and-out large-scale pasture. What's more, the third phase of the Mirror Lake Ranch project will have 25ooo acres of grassland, and the entire Mirror Lake Ranch will remove the areas that are not suitable for grazing and need to be protected, and the entire Mirror Lake Ranch will be suitable for grazing with an area of 40,000 acres!
The thought that he could be in charge of such a large ranch, Ma Wanli would wake up with a smile even if he slept!
As long as the first and second phases of pasture are opened, and then a sufficient number of beef cattle and dairy cows are added, the high-quality assets owned by Jinghu Ranch can be mortgaged to the bank, and it has become a logical thing to take out a loan to open the third phase of the project.
…………
Just when the lawn mower and rotary tiller were working in Jinghu Ranch, Ma Wanli himself had been at the junction of Beiping and Hebei for 1o days, and he basically spent his time in the breeding cattle base under the Animal Husbandry Research Institute of Huaxia Agricultural University and Huaxia Animal Husbandry Research Institute, and purchased the best quality dairy cows and beef cattle breeds for 'Jinghu Ranch'.
in southern Yunnan. There are also many breeding centers for dairy cows and beef cattle, but the scale of these breeding centers is too small to meet the requirements of Jinghu Ranch. For this reason, after participating in the opening ceremony of the Jinghu Scenic Area, Ma Wanli took a flight from Yunnan Airlines to Beiping the next day.
As the capital, Beiping has a very special political status in the country, although its economic center is gradually being replaced by the rising Haizhou. But in many areas, it still has a role to play that cannot be ignored.
The grassland, the three northeastern provinces, Hebei, Shandong, Henan, Longzhou, and Saishang Jiangnan provinces are the most advanced areas of animal husbandry in China, and Beiping, which is located in the central position, is not only the largest animal husbandry trading market in the country, but also the most important breeding cattle breeding center. Relying on Huaxia Agricultural University, Huaxia Forestry University, Animal Husbandry Research Institute and other universities and scientific research institutions, Tongzhou, on the border of Beiping and Hebei Province, has become the most important breeding base in China, and there are various breeding centers of all sizes.
Annually. About half of the country's high-quality breeding cattle flow from here to all parts of the country!
With five assistants, Ma Wanli spent a lot of energy to finally pick 1oooo Chinese Holstein cows and 2ooo Angus calves. If it weren't for the fact that most of Ma Wanli's classmates and teachers held important positions in these two units, even if 'Jinghu Ranch' had money, it would not have been possible to buy so many high-quality cattle breeds so easily.
After the beginning of spring, it is the best period for major ranches and farms to buy a large amount of fresh blood, and Jinghu Ranch is equivalent to grabbing food from the tiger's mouth. Its arduous journey is no less than a war.
Most of the cows are pregnant or about to reach maturity, and only about 100 mature bulls will be used as breeding cattle, while the 2,000 Angus calves are also dominated by cows, and the proportion of bulls stands at less than 3%.
The average price of 10,000 cows is 15,000 yuan, and the price of purebred Angus calves is not cheap, 25,000 yuan is equivalent to two ordinary adult Luxi cattle, and the total price of 12,000 cows has reached 200 million!
In the eyes of many people, agriculture and animal husbandry is a low-cost, labor-intensive industry. In fact, in large-scale production, high investment and capital intensity have become the characteristics of agriculture and animal husbandry.
If Xiao Feng hadn't had the 300 million loan provided by 'Long Xiangrui', he really wouldn't have been able to expand the breeding scale of 'Jinghu Ranch' to such a scale all at once.
In recent years, the high-grade beef and high-grade milk on the market were expensive, but behind their low operating and production costs, it was a high first investment.
Two hundred million funds. In the Tongzhou Animal Husbandry Trading Market, which has a huge trading volume, it is like a stone thrown into the mirror lake, and in the blink of an eye, only the ripples that are gradually disappearing are left. Since there are very few precedents for transporting livestock to southern Yunnan in the livestock trading market in Tongzhou, the breeding cattle purchased by Jinghu Ranch must be transported by themselves.
Ma Wanli at the cost of 2o thousand per day. rented a farm and enough workers, put the selected breeding cattle here for fostering, and waited for Xiao Feng to bring people to arrive, and then they could be loaded and shipped.
It's not an easy thing to do!
…………
Just when Ma Wanli was nervously selecting cattle breeds, Xiao Feng also led the employees of Jinghu Ranch and the villagers of Ginkgo Village to board the train from Chuncheng to Beiping.
It is not a simple matter to transport 12,000 head of breeding cattle back to Ginkgo Village from Beiping, thousands of miles away, and all the things involved are not something that Ma Wanli can handle.
In order to cope with this large-scale transfer of breeding cattle, Xiao Feng began to use all his connections to prepare for this long-distance training from the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
First of all, the Yaozhou Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government issued a series of relevant certificates for the 'Jinghu Ranch', indicating that these breeding cattle were used for the production of enterprises supported by Yaozhou City, and were not sold across provinces. With these documents, the breeding cattle of Jinghu Ranch can reduce a lot of trouble, including health, quarantine, taxation and other departments.
At the same time, Su Yang also used his own connections in the provincial capital to get the provincial government, the Department of Agriculture and the Public Security Department to jointly issue relevant documents to reduce the inspection and difficulty of the provincial law enforcement agencies on the transport convoy as much as possible.
After all the written documents were ready, Xiao Feng gathered all the escorts in front of the small square of the tourist reception center and boarded the bus to Spring City. Originally, Xiao Feng was going to charter a flight to Beiping, but the face of Jinghu Ranch could not allow the airline to vacate a flight in a short time, so Xiao Feng could only give up this idea and take 3oo people to Beiping by train.
Except for Xiao Jinxu, who was over sixty years old and was left at home, the men of the Xiao family, including Xiao Jinming, Xiao Jinhao, Xiao Feng's brothers-in-law, and the third generation of the Xiao family, all of them were in the escort team. In addition, all 2oo employees from Jinghu Ranch appeared, plus the villagers who came to help from Ginkgo Village, the total number of the team reached 3oo.
Including Xiao Feng, everyone wore sky blue overalls printed with 'Jinghu Ranch', and the neat formation was eye-catching.
The six tourist buses rented from Yaozhou Tourism Group lined up in the parking lot, and Xiao Feng boarded the bus one by one with the escort team and went straight to the Chuncheng Railway Station.
When Xiao Feng and others were waiting for the train at the train station, they received a lot of attention, and even the film crew of the Yunnan Satellite TV News Channel, which was filming nearby, also sent people to interview several employees, and broadcast the news that a private ranch went to Beiping to receive breeding cattle on the news through train that night.
The express train from Chuncheng to Beiping needs to run for 36 hours, anyway, the escorts this time are all young and middle-aged, Xiao Feng can't buy so many sleeper tickets, so he simply buys all the hard seat tickets, and 3oo people occupy most of the seats in the three carriages.
"Brother Jiu, have you ever been to Beiping?" Sitting in the position, Xiao Qiang, who was going out for the first time, was a little excited, looking around.
"It's also my first time going to Beiping!" Xiao Feng shook his head and said, "This time we don't have time to play, we will probably go to Tongzhou after coming out of the train station, and then escort the breeding cattle back!"
The rent for renting a farm and breeding workers is 2o yuan a day, which is nothing, but Xiao Feng still hopes to be able to transport the breeding cattle back to the pasture as much as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night.
There is a saying among the countrymen, the family has a lot of money, and the hair does not count!
Xiao Feng spent a lot of money to buy so many kinds of cattle, if something happened to him, Xiao Feng would want to cry without tears, so he would do his best to get back to the pasture, so that they could thrive and grow under the nourishment of the space spirit spring and green pasture grass in order to feel at ease.
This will also be the only experience of buying livestock from other places on a large scale, and in the future, Jinghu Ranch will need to cultivate and breed various high-quality cattle breeds on its own, and eventually it can grow into the best pasture in China.
Although Xiao Feng is the boss, the management of this trip was handed over to Liu Weiqiang, the vice president of Jinghu Ranch, and Xiao Feng could rest assured that he could chat with Xiao Qiang and Xiao Dazhi and fight the landlord.
36 hours passed in a flash, and at eight o'clock in the morning of the third day, the train stopped at Beiping West Station on time, and in the parking lot outside the station, the bus rented by Ma Wanli was ready. Without much delay, the escort staff of Jinghu Ranch rushed to the farm in Tongzhou before lunch and saw a large number of breeding cattle.
After lunch, the 300 employees of Jinghu Ranch were divided into 50 teams, each responsible for 8 large trailers, and began to transfer the breeding cattle to the trailers. Fortunately, in Tongzhou, a complete industrial chain has been formed, and with the help of experts, it took five hours, and 12,000 breeding cattle were finally transferred to 4oo large trailers.
Xiao Feng and the others didn't have time to catch their breath, and after dinner, they began to follow the huge convoy out!
