【Chapter 701】 Choosing a Partner (Asking for Subscription!)

Following Duke Sr. around the trading center, Dream Ranch bought nearly 150 ranch horses, and it was only right that Quarter and Flower Horse each had half of them.

With the old Duke and the old Bob, the old cowboy, the quality of these horses is not bad, and they are more than one grade better than the ranch horses introduced from the United States by the 'Mirror Lake Ranch'.

The average price of these horses is only 2,000 US dollars, which is much lower than the average price of nearly 40,000 RMB.

At this time, Xiao Feng knew that the foreigners did not blink their eyes when they pit the Chinese people, and it seems that the wealthy Chinese people are most likely the image of 'money and stupidity' in the eyes of Lao Mei!

After the horses are decided, the quarantine and transportation do not have to worry about the 'Dream Ranch', the 'Duke Trading Center' will take care of these links and send the horses to the 'Dream Ranch'!

In order to win over Xiao Feng, a super big customer, the old Duke only charged a symbolic 2% commission, which is estimated to be at most capital preservation and cannot make money. This is also an eye-opener for Xiao Feng, who came into contact with American businessmen for the first time, Lao Mei has a lot of tricks to do business, after all, it is a commercial society.

This time, the 'Dream Ranch' only purchased the ranch horses, and as for the breeding cattle, it only had some contact with some ranchers, and even the agreement of intent has not yet been reached.

This is also normal, after all, the grassland transformation of the 'Dream Ranch' has not yet been completed, and the first phase of 10,000 acres of pasture has only begun to grow, and it is estimated that it will be a month or two before it is suitable for grazing.

However, Dream Ranch has placed a huge order for 20,000 Angus breeding cattle. It still makes Helena and all the Angus cattle ranchers in Montana pounding.

This order is not something that can be eaten by a single ranch, so the ranchers who get the news are actively preparing to bring the best breeding cattle from their farms to trade.

Arguably. The first appearance of 'Dream Ranch' before its Montana counterparts was quite impressive.

…………

The day after returning to the ranch, more than a dozen large trailers rumbled through the side door of the 'Dream Ranch' and brought the 146 ranch horses ordered yesterday.

The front of these large trailers is tall and mighty, and if anyone has seen the movie "Transformers", they will find that this kind of big man is quite similar to Optimus Prime!

In the Transformers cartoon, Optimus Prime is a cab-over semi-trailer, but in the live-action movie he is a long-nosed Peter Bilt 389. In fact. The two trucks built by the automotive department of the Transformers film were based on the mid-80s Peterbilt model!

Peterbilt, a subsidiary of PACCAR Group, has established itself as the dominant producer of high-quality trucks in the United States since its inception in 1939. Peterbilt Corporation is headquartered in Washington State. It occupies about 10% of the market share of heavy trucks in the United States, and the perfect combination of innovation and classicism has formed the most representative of the American style of long-head heavy trucks.

The Peter Bildt 389 is a household name in the United States, a typical American-style muscle truck. It is the overlord on the American highway and a classic of the American long-head truck. Its shape has not changed significantly since 1978. But the powertrain and cab interior design are no longer what they used to be. The classic 389 now has an advanced engine, a more user-friendly cabin interior, and even a sleeper for long-distance drivers.

Last time Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao were on a road trip on the West Coast, they had also seen these giants on the highway, but now they still feel extremely shocked when they see these muscular trucks up close!

It's a pity that Bildt trucks are not sold in the Chinese market, and it is still a distant thing to see this kind of super truck on domestic roads.

…………

At the beginning of the planning. The main entrance of the 'Dream Ranch' is more used for personnel to enter and exit, and the real material transportation channel is the side gate five miles away from the main entrance, and there are three similar material passages in the 'Dream Ranch'!

As a super-large ranch with a meadow area of more than 150,000 acres. It is a large area in itself, and the functional areas of production, living and scientific research are strictly divided, which is also a characteristic of large ranches in the United States.

A mile around the 'Castle of Dreams' is more of the rancher's private living quarters, while the ranch staff and cowboys' quarters are located not far away.

More than a dozen Bildt 389s lined up in the ranch. It was magnificent, and Xiao Feng couldn't help but take a set of photos. Post it on the web and share it with your fans.

Since coming to the United States, Xiao Feng's interaction with fans has become much less, but this set of photos still resurrected many netizens from the state of diving, and Xiao Feng's scarf page began to be active again.

For a long time, the domestic media have reported on the huge investment of 'Dream Ranch' and 'Jinghu Group' in the United States, but 'Dream Ranch' is difficult to see.

This is also the first time that the 'Dream Ranch' has been unveiled in front of people's eyes, and the green grass and the snow-capped mountains in the distance complement each other, but it is also full of intoxicating beauty.

What Xiao Feng didn't know was that he posted the photos of the 'Dream Ranch' on the Internet, which triggered a boom in domestic tourists to experience ranch life in the United States.

In 2012, the number of outbound tourists in China was 82 million, a year-on-year increase of 16.7 percent, and the outbound tourism expenditure was 98 billion US dollars, a year-on-year increase of 35.2 percent. In recent years, the scale of Chinese outbound tourism has grown at an annual rate of 20%, exceeding 80 million in 2012, and in absolute terms, the number of Chinese outbound tourists in 2012 has surpassed Germany and the United States, becoming the world's largest outbound tourism market.

Since 2011, China has become one of the top 10 tourism source markets in the United States, and in the past two years, China has become the fastest growing tourism market in the United States, and it is also the most optimistic tourism market in the United States.

The U.S. Department of Commerce said that in the next five years, the number of Chinese mainland visitors to the United States is expected to grow by 200%, surpassing the number of French and German tourists to the United States in 2016.

Xiao Feng's scarf news is just an introduction, but the actual situation is the respective needs of both the supply and demand sides of the United States tourism, which makes the American West ranch tour an emerging market.

In addition, many wealthy people were also affected by Xiao Feng and began to wave checks to buy farms and ranches in the United States, Australia, New Zealand and Maple Leaf Country, making many foreign financial media exclaim 'The wolf is coming'!

In fact, the attachment of the wealthy Chinese to land is no different from that of their ancestors, and the land ownership system of the Chinese Republic restricts many of the ideas of these rich people.

According to the technical analysis of investment institutions, in fact, land is the best value preservation industry, in the United States of America farming and pasture will basically have 5-8% appreciation space next year, although not as fast as the development speed of many industries, but better than the steady dìng.

It is also reasonable for the wealthy Chinese who have always been accustomed to saving to use their excess funds to buy farms and pastures, but it is only because of Xiao Feng's special identity and dazzling aura that he gradually attracted the attention of the media and the public.

In these years, these pervasive media are the best at fueling the fire!

…………

More than 100 ranch horses, one for each cowboy and staff, as soon as the horses are sent off the truck, everyone begins to choose their favorite partners!

"Boss, that little guy who is a little overactive is good!" Among the many horses, Old Bob picked out a quart stallion for Xiao Feng at a glance.

Xiao Feng saw that this was a tall quarte horse with a brown body and only a white star on its forehead, and compared to the slightly tame situation of other horses, it was not very peaceful.

This is a two-year-old little guy who, according to Bob Sr., is one of the best in the Quart stallion in terms of skeleton, size and appearance, and is well suited to be bred to become a stallion.

"Then I'll take it back to the stable?!" Xiao Feng knew that the little guy was good as soon as he heard old Bob say this.

Old Bob's vision Xiao Feng is extremely convinced, after all, people are not the same as his own half bucket of water, and he has been immersed in this industry for decades.

Unlike in the past, when the horses were treated as 'riding tools' at the Mirror Lake Ranch, cowboys here in the United States see the horses more as 'partners' and basically take care of the horses themselves, almost never sleeping together.

Xiao Feng naturally wants to follow the local customs and personally take care of this quart, which he named 'Meteor', which is what a real rancher should do.

In the vicinity of the 'Dream Castle' there is a well-equipped stable, including automatic feeding, water supply system, temperature control system, etc., which was left by the previous rancher, and this stable was originally the habitat of several thoroughbreds, but now those thoroughbred horses have been taken away, and only an empty stable remains.

Xiao Feng didn't think it was a waste to let 'Meteor' stay in such a top-notch stable, anyway, it was a real waste if it was empty.

To be honest, Xiao Feng had ridden horses many times in the 'Jinghu Ranch' before, but it was really 'the first time that the big girl got on the sedan chair'.

In order to take care of the naughty 'Meteor', Xiao Feng not only consulted a lot of relevant information, but also personally asked Old Bob about specific matters, and strived to get started in the shortest possible time!

At this time, Xiao Feng seemed to have returned to the state of the college entrance examination, full of learning energy, and his serious and studious attitude won the praise of old Bob, which also gave him a higher status in the hearts of many American cowboys.

Nearly a month after arriving in the United States, Xiao Feng gradually integrated into the atmosphere of western cowboy culture and began to move towards becoming a qualified rancher.

This process may be full of tediousness and hardship, but it will make people feel a kind of power to grow!
