【Chapter 697】 Getting Better (Ask for Subscription!) )
In the opinion of Bob and others, the boss from Huaxia does not know much about the operation of pastures, so how can there be a reason to eradicate all the good pastures and plant other grass seeds? Even if you want to transform the grassland, you have to do it gradually, and it is not good to move too much.
What's more, the 'Dream Ranch' will carry out the same operation on 150,000 acres of grassland, and all of them will be laid with a fully automatic irrigation system, which really makes Bob shocked by the strong financial resources of the boss of Huaxia, but also a little speechless.
For traditional cowboys, they always have to drive cattle and sheep to chase water and grass according to the actual situation, which is extremely difficult, but it can reflect the true meaning of western cowboy life.
Now, the construction of such a drastic fully automatic irrigation system at Dream Ranch will undoubtedly reduce the difficulty of the cowboy's work to the extreme, at the cost of a huge investment!
The cost of acquiring the ranch and renovating the ranch is more than $800 million, and it is estimated that the purchase of breeding cattle and the purchase of various equipment in the future will not be enough.
With such a large investment, how many cattle will have to be sold in the future to recoup the cost of the young Huaxia owner, Bob is worried that the 'Dream Ranch' will go out of business due to the broken capital chain, and he will fall into a situation of unemployment.
However, the boss of Huaxia was so young, and Bob was worried that his land would not be accepted, so he approached Ma Wanli and expressed his concerns.
"Bob, don't worry!" After listening to Bob's words, Ma Wanli said with a smile: "We have a super group with an annual profit of more than 4 billion US dollars behind our 'Dream Ranch', and our boss is the absolute controlling shareholder of the group, owning 80% of the shares, so we don't have to worry about the capital of 'Dream Ranch' at all!" ”
"Our 'Jinghu Group' has already bred Prime-grade Angus beef cattle certified by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in Huaxia before, and this time we came to the United States, the main goal is still to breed the best beef cattle in the world!"
Knowing that Bob did not necessarily know the specific situation of the "Mirror Lake Group" behind the "Dream Ranch", Ma Wanli gave him a detailed introduction to the "Mirror Lake Ranch", which surprised Bob.
A large group with an annual profit of more than 4 billion US dollars, so this Huaxia boss, who is only in his early twenties, actually has a net worth of two or three billion US dollars, and he does have capricious power. However, Bob is not surprised by this, after all, being able to invest $1 billion in a ranch is a great confidence in itself.
Bob didn't expect Marwani to breed top-quality beef cattle with an average price of about $12,000, which is extremely rare in Montana.
Generally speaking, most of the beef cattle slaughtered from the pasture are about 1,500-2,000 pounds, and generally do not exceed 800 kilograms.
Secondly, the purchase price of ordinary beef cattle fluctuates around $2-3 per pound, and beef cattle that can be sold for $6,000 are already available for auction. At an average price of $5 per pound, Angus cattle at Mirror Lake Ranch are basically twice as expensive as regular free-range beef cattle and more than three times more expensive than feeder cattle!
At this time, the old Bob knew that the young Huaxia boss was not hot-headed, but already had successful experience and enough confidence!
Now, Bob can almost foresee that once Dream Ranch is able to produce top beef cattle, it will pay for itself in a few years.
The only thing to look at now is whether the 'Dream Ranch' grassland transformation can be successful?
…………
Three days after the sowing was carried out, to the astonishment of Bob and all the cowboys, the vast meadow began to sprout green shoots that looked like a green carpet being woven from a distance.
The grass is growing at a rate that is almost visible to the naked eye, and a huge change can be seen every other night, and Bob has never seen such a situation since he grew up living on the ranch and working as a cowboy for nearly thirty years.
Raising cattle is actually raising grass, and with good pasture, the best beef cattle can be bred!
With the successful stimulation of the first 10,000 acres of grassland, Bob and the cowboys are more energetic, getting up early every day, driving various large agricultural machinery to continue to transform the pasture of the pasture, and the rumbling engine sound resounded throughout the ranch!
…………
While the renovation of the pasture is in full swing, the fence construction of the 'Dream Ranch' is also progressing rapidly, basically at a rate of 2 kilometers per day. According to Ma Wanli's estimates, after the transformation of 150,000 acres of grassland is completed, the fence, gates, side gates, etc. will all be completed.
At that time, the cattle pens, stables, and irrigation systems inside the 'Dream Ranch' can also be put into use, and the 'Dream Ranch' will also become a large-scale ranch with the highest automation process and the most advanced equipment in the United States and even in the world.
Xiao Feng and Ma Wanli also didn't think about introducing the 'space forage' that had been cultivated from the 'Mirror Lake Ranch', but considering the strict biological introduction system of the United States, they had no choice but to give up.
However, since the ordinary pasture grass was able to breed one of the best beef cattle in the world after Xiao Feng's transformation, Ma Wanli is not worried about the failure of the grassland transformation plan of the 'Dream Ranch'.
After following Xiao Feng for four years, Ma Wanli naturally vaguely learned some unknown details, such as the amazing high-quality pasture grass of 'Jinghu Ranch', the rare outbreak of livestock in the pasture, and the production of top ingredients of 'Xiao Family Farm', all of which are closely related to Xiao Feng.
Rao is outside media and people have made various speculations about the rise of the 'Jinghu Group', some say that the Jinghu area is blessed, some say that the technical team is powerful, and some say that it is luck, but Ma Wanli knows that Xiao Feng must have an unknown killer feature!
However, Ma Wanli will not make his speculation public, for him, following in the footsteps of Xiao Feng and the 'Jinghu Group' is the key to a better life for him in the second half of his life and even for his children and grandchildren.
DuPont Seeds, the largest seed company in the United States and the world, has been sending the best alfalfa, ryegrass, and Mexican corn grass seeds to the 'Dream Ranch'!
At least 1,500 tonnes of grass seed is needed to transform 150,000 acres of grassland at Dream Ranch based on a standard of 10 kilograms of seed per acre, which is indifferent to even the world's No. 1 DuPont-Pioneer seed.
Seed Company's Senior Vice President Andy. DuPont visited Dream Ranch and gave the ranch the biggest deal, after all, it was a huge deal with a total of $12 million!
The 'Mirror Lake Group's large-scale investment in ranches in the United States has not been concealed from the wealthy families such as DuPont and Morgan, who know the details of the 'Mirror Lake Group' and Xiao Feng quite well.
According to the analysis of some investigative agencies and think tanks, 'Dream Ranch' is not the only target of 'Jinghu Group' in the United States, and it is foreseeable that once 'Dream Ranch' is on the right track, Xiao Feng will strike again!
In order to consolidate the relationship with the 'Mirror Lake Group', DuPont sent one of the heirs of the family, Andy. DuPont came to Dream Ranch to nominally oversee the speed of seed distribution, but in fact he was in contact with Xiao Feng.
When it comes to wealth, it is natural that an established family like DuPont is more wealthy than the richest on the Forbes rich list, but most of their wealth is hidden behind the intricate equity relationships, as well as real estate, unknown precious metals, jewelry and art collections around the world.
But it is undeniable that a newly rising super-rich man like Xiao Feng has far more vitality than the old family, and the old tycoon can only befriend Xiao Feng when he is unable to suppress it!
This can be seen from the attitude of the Morgan family and the Walton family towards Xiao Feng and the 'Mirror Lake Group'!
Andy. As the leader of the third generation of the DuPont family, DuPont became the senior vice president of Pioneer Seeds at the age of 32, not only his own background, but also his ability is also very important.
However, when he saw Xiao Feng's excessively young face, he had to secretly sigh that he seemed to be old!
In the understanding of many Americans, Xiao Feng is quite in line with some of the concepts of American wealth heroes, who have created a lot of wealth in just a few years from scratch and promoted the development of the regional economy, which is not something that ordinary people can do.
If Xiao Feng's youth surprised Andy, the grassland renovation plan of the 'Dream Ranch' made him even more dumbfounded, because he had never seen a large-scale pasture of more than 10,000 acres all use a fully automatic irrigation system, and it can only be said that the 'Jinghu Group' has a lot of money!
As the senior vice president of the seed company, Andy is not an uneducated man, and he found that the quality of the forage grown in the 'Dream Ranch' is actually better than that of the pioneer planting test field, which shows that the 'Jinghu Group' has extremely advanced cultivation technology!
This can't help but make Andy's eyes a little hot, and he finally realized that the 'Mirror Lake Group', which can breed prime-grade beef, has invested heavily in ranches in the United States, not on a whim, let alone hot-headed, but with sufficient preparation and sufficient confidence!
However, Rao is Andy is only eight buckets tall and well-informed, and he would not have expected that such a magical change in the grass of the 'Dream Ranch' was due to the relationship of the 'Space Spirit Spring', let alone that if these grasses lacked the nourishment of the 'Space Spirit Spring', they would soon return to their mediocre appearance.
As the infrastructure of the ranch began to improve, Xiao Feng and Ma Wanli began to turn their attention to another important task, which was to introduce breeding cattle to the 'Dream Ranch'!
For the 'Dream Ranch', choosing a good breed of cattle can increase the probability of cultivating top-quality beef, which is naturally sloppy!
With the jewel of 'Jinghu Beef Cattle' in front, Xiao Feng and Ma Wanli naturally hope to breed top beef cattle with larger weight and more beautiful meat! R1152
