Chapter 13 Buying cattle is also learned
Early the next morning, as soon as the morning dawned, Lin He got up.
Batu's parents woke up early, and the old man was milking cows when Lin He came out.
After breakfast, Batu took Lin He and the four of them to see the cows.
There are more than 50 cows, more cows and fewer bulls, 20 adult cows over two years old, five or six calves, and more than a dozen yaks.
Lin He turned around and asked Batu, "How many cows can you sell?"
Batu said, "How much do you give?"
Lin Daodao: "I won't bargain with you anymore, just calculate it at 60,000, and I will count which one I choose." ”
Batu said: "This is not a good deal, some big cattle are expensive. ”
Lin He smiled and said, "My friend, don't be too greedy, if you go to Ezile to collect it, I can also collect 50,000 yuan for a cow, the price you told me is already much higher, and the reason why I didn't make a counteroffer is also due to other conditions." ”
Batu smiled and said, "What conditions?"
Lin Daodao: "I want to collect a hundred cows, but I don't want to run around, I will give you 60,000 yuan for a cow, you find me a cow, how much you earn is yours, as long as the big cow, and it is a male, it can kill about 400 catties of meat." ”
Batu's eyes lit up and he said, "Do you have that much money?"
Lin He asked Lin Hai to bring a bag and open it for Batu to see: "Don't worry about money. ”
Batu's eyes immediately widened, and the greed on his face was not disguised in the slightest.
Lin He remained silent, took the bag in Lin Duo's hand again, and opened it to Batu: "There are still here!"
Batu glanced at it, and was immediately shocked, and the greed on his face quickly disappeared.
There was not only money in the bag, but also guns and several butcher knives.
Batu squeezed out a smile and said, "A hundred cows are not much, I will let people drive the cattle over and you can pick whatever you want." ”
Lin He smiled and said: "That's good, you find the cattle as soon as possible, and after I pick them out, you call a few people and drive the cattle to the border for me, let's pay the money with one hand and the cattle with the other, I won't suffer and you won't suffer." ”
Batu agreed, glanced at the bag in his hand again, and finally suppressed his crooked thoughts.
In fact, a big cow can be sold for 40,000 yuan, but he just said that the bargaining part was a little higher.
Since Lin He didn't bargain, if a cow is 60,000, he can earn 20,000, and a hundred cows are 2 million, which is definitely a huge profit, you must know that his more than 50 cows can't be sold for 2 million if they are all sold.
Batu rode away, and the four of Lin He were waiting at his house.
When the sun was about to set the next day, Batu came back in the dust and told Lin He that the ox would come the day after tomorrow.
Lin He asked, only to know that after going out for two days, Batu had run at least 200 kilometers, and the pastures were too far away, and it took a lot of miles to go to the door one by one, and it would take time to drive the cattle over.
The farthest one will even have to drive the cattle tomorrow and arrive the day after tomorrow.
Lin He is not in a hurry, and he is waiting here with peace of mind.
At noon the next day, a man arrived with two teenagers driving 30 oxen, and after half an hour, more than 20 oxen came over, and at about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, more than 200 cattle arrived here one after another.
Batu accompanied Lin He to pick a cow, but Lin He didn't pick a cow.
When it was almost dark, Lin He returned to the yurt and prepared to pick it again tomorrow.
There are too many people driving cattle over, and two yurts can't fit them, so these people have already prepared, lighting a pile of carbon fire, wrapped in a big bag and going outside for a night, which has long been commonplace for the herdsmen on the grassland.
The next day, picking cattle, Lin He was much more serious, and looked at them carefully one by one.
A man pointed to a yak and said, "This cow is good, and it can be sold anywhere with a lot of hair and meat." ”
Lin He smiled and said, "Although I don't know much about cows, I still know yaks, and six-year-old yaks can't kill 300 catties of meat in winter, so I want 30,000 yuan, and even more." ”
The man laughed a few times and stopped talking.
It is not easy to pick a cow, and it is estimated that the sick cow will die before it reaches the border.
Lin He picked slowly and observed very carefully, for fear of picking a sick cow.
When it was almost noon, less than fifty heads were picked, Batu held a small notebook, and every time Lin He picked one, he had to go to the side, negotiate the price with the owner of the cow, and discuss the postscript in the notebook.
A man pointed to a cow and said to Lin He, "That cow is big." ”
Lin He glanced at it, shook his head and said, "Don't want that one." ”
The man glared and asked, "Why not?"
Lin He said unceremoniously: "How much are you going to sell it if you have a sick brain?"
The man was a little sneering, and the others also looked sideways, feeling that this kid was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and if there was a problem, he could see it and said that he didn't need a cow, and he thought he could sell those spoons, but now it's no fun.
Lin Hai and the three of them didn't understand cows, so they could only follow the soy sauce.
At noon, they didn't even eat, and it wasn't until the sun was about to set that a hundred cows were picked out.
In addition to the cows, Lin He also bought four horses.
Batu's parents boiled two sheep, and thirty of them feasted around the cauldron.
After eating and drinking, everyone rushed to pick up the remaining cattle and went back overnight, leaving only five people.
Batu packed his bags, took five men, and set off first with the oxen. There are still more than 70 kilometers to go from here to the border station, and it is necessary to make a detour to drive the cattle, to ensure that there is a water source at intervals, and it is not possible to walk at night, and it is necessary to stop and rest on the way, and it will take at least three days to drive the cattle to the border post.
Lin He stayed at Batu's house for another two days, and left on the morning of the third day.
Batu's two sons followed, one of them led a dog, and the four of them were escorted.
There are wolves in the mountains, even if Lin He has a gun, it is not safe, but it is much safer with two dogs.
The herdsman's dog is not a pet dog, the biggest role of this shepherd dog is to deter the wild wolves on the grassland, to avoid cattle and sheep being attacked by wild wolves, used as a guard is good, can avoid a lot of trouble.
Lin He's equestrian skills are okay, and he ran north to pull cattle and practiced it.
Lin Hai and the three of them were far behind, and their bodies were all crumbling tightly on horseback, and they didn't dare to shake it.
Batu's two sons are like birds in flight, running forward and backward on horseback, one will run to the front, the other will be behind, after all, they grew up on horseback, and their equestrian skills are much stronger than the half-tone of Lin He.
Lin Hai and the three were even more envious, and it was not until they walked a few kilometers that they gradually adapted to riding a horse.
Halfway down, snowflakes fluttered in the sky, and the first winter snow finally came.
When the sun was about to set, the border guards arrived, much faster than when they came.
Three years away from the border station, in a mountain col, Batu drove the cattle here with people and was waiting for the Lin River.
Lin He looked at the cow, which was gnawing on the yellow grass, and there were many of them, and they did not die.
Batu avoided the people he had brought with him, and led the river to the back of a large rock not far away.
At 60,000, a hundred cows are exactly 6 million.
It's all 10,000 denominations, and 6 million is just six dollars.
Lin He took six stacks of tickets from his bag and handed them to Batu: "Count." ”
Batu was not polite, he ordered them one by one, and then gave Lin He a bear hug, grinning and laughing: "Okay, friends from afar, we don't have anything else, just a lot of cattle and sheep, remember to look for me next time you buy cattle." ”
Lin He also smiled and said, "I must look for you, I hope we can cooperate for a long time." ”
Batu nodded vigorously, how could he not cooperate for a long time, only this time, he earned two million for a hundred cows, where is there more money than this, in his eyes, this young man is simply a fortune boy sent to him by God.
The deal was completed without incident, and Batu left with his son and the cattle herders.
Lin He took Lin Hai and the four of them to drive the cattle across the border and arrived at the No. 6 post before dark.
When you get here, you basically don't have to worry about it anymore, and even if you are seen, you can say that you are herding cattle. However, it is also 70 kilometers from Post 6 to the nearest village and town, and it will take at least two days.
The oxen were herded into a col, and the four of them divided into two groups, wrapped in military coats, and slept in turn.
Batu sent ten sheep, and Lin He slaughtered one and sent it to the No. 6 post to give food to the soldiers.
The next day, just after dawn, the four people drove the cattle on the road, did not take the road taken by the military vehicles, the four people drove the cattle over the mountain, it took two days to drive the cattle to a village, leaving three people to watch the cattle, Lin He went into the village to call.
After waiting for more than three hours, five Dongfeng trucks arrived.
Lin He went into the village and called a dozen people, each of whom gave ten yuan to help load the cattle.
By the time the cattle were loaded onto the cart, it was already dark.
Lin He didn't care about eating, so each of them got into a car and rushed to Beishan in the night.
