In China, the underdevelopment of animal husbandry made Xiao Feng really never see a similar scene in front of him, thousands of cattle and sheep were gathered in various pens, waiting for merchants, ranchers and cowboys to choose. ↗ Top Novel, www.

Rao is 'Jinghu Ranch' slaughters tens of thousands of beef cattle every year, but 'Jinghu Ranch' takes the channel of self-production and self-sale, and rarely participates in the field of bulk cattle and sheep trading. As for the herdsmen in northwest Yunnan, due to the relationship between capital, technology and pasture, they are just making small fights, and they cannot achieve the climate.

It is only in a country like the United States, which is vast and sparsely populated and highly developed in animal husbandry, that such a grand occasion can be seen, which is eye-opening.

In the trading field, large beef cattle breeds including Angus cattle, American longhorn cattle, Simmental cattle, and Limousin cattle can be seen everywhere, and of course, Boer goats, small-tailed Han sheep and other edible sheep breeds are also trading objects in the trading field, which is dazzling to see.

Since coming to the United States, Xiao Feng has also begun to understand some of the situation of agriculture and animal husbandry in the United States, which is completely different from the situation in China.

Due to the huge land area per capita, the high level of urbanization, and the spread of mechanization, the farm area in the United States is not small.

Even if some super-large farms and pastures are removed, most of the cultivated area and pasture area of many family farms are more than two or three hundred acres, which is unimaginable in China.

In the northern plains of China, it is extremely rare for some families to own 20 or 30 acres or even 100 acres of land, and in the areas south of the Yangtze River, many families have only one or two acres of land, three or five acres of land, and these lands are not contiguous.

In contrast to the fact that land in the United States is privately owned, the peasants in China only have the right to contract, and the meaning of land to the peasants is different.

In the United States, the ability of farmers and ranchers to resist risks, information and technology is much higher than that of Chinese farmers. The U.S. government has always had policy subsidies for farms and pastures, and bank loans are readily available.

Large-scale farms and pastures with an area of more than thousands of acres have always been accustomed to large-scale cultivation and grazing, and they can take advantage of the cost of scale and subsidies to achieve a sufficient level of profit and a high level of viability.

As for some small family farms, driven by market competition, they are also consciously trying to operate with various characteristics. For example, the production of organic vegetables, organic milk, the cultivation of delicious livestock, etc., the ability to grasp the market is much higher than that of ordinary farmers in China!

In a sense, American farmers are representatives of the American middle class, who are basically worth millions of dollars, but they are not visible.

In the Montana countryside, you're driving on the road when you come across a raunchy, bearded, jean-skinned old man. I really wouldn't know that he owns hundreds of acres of farms and pastures, and it is normal for him to be worth three or five million.

In China, the peasants are the representatives of the low-income class, otherwise there would not have been Mr. Hong who wrote 'The peasants are really hard, the countryside is really poor, and agriculture is really dangerous'!

Although the rural areas of China have undergone tremendous changes, from the perspective of the development of agriculture and animal husbandry, China's agriculture and animal husbandry are compared with those of the United States. It's not a little bit worse!

This is Xiao Feng's biggest feeling after coming to the United States, but he can't do anything about it. We can only try our best to build the 'Dream Ranch' and lay a good foundation for the development of the 'Mirror Lake Group' in the United States!

…………

Xiao Feng was still watching the cattle and sheep in the trading floor on the side, and when he was traveling overseas, Old Bob met an acquaintance.

"Old Bob, long time no see!" a bearded old man with a wide-brimmed cowboy hat hugged old Bob fiercely and asked in a loud voice, "I heard you've found a new job." How's the new boss?"

"Old Duke, thank you for your concern!" Old Bob was also very happy to meet his old friend, and said: "Our new boss is a very good person, this time we are going to purchase some pasture horses and breeding cattle, and we still need your help!"

Duke Sr. and Bob Sr. were middle school classmates. It's just that the old Bill's family conditions are better, and their family owns a considerable stake in this trading market, so it is natural for him to become the person in charge.

Bill Duke, who founded this trading place, is the grandfather of Duke Sr., and it was already the beginning of the last century, not to mention that it is now a global village in the information age, but in the rural West of America, many traditions are being adhered to.

Under the introduction of old Bob, old Duke finally met Xiao Feng, who has been in the limelight recently, and had a good first impression of a young rich man dressed as a cowboy!

During this period of time, Xiao Feng, a super-rich man from mysterious China, has been the object of conversation among Helena, and even some media have turned up some of Xiao Feng's deeds in China, which makes people even more interested in this 27-year-old billionaire.

Americans have never hidden their yearning for wealth, and people will always have more respect for those who have great wealth.

Xiao Feng spent $200 million to acquire nearly a dozen ranches, set up a 'dream ranch', and began to renovate pastures, build fully automatic irrigation systems and high-end fences, such a big deal has not been seen in Helena for many years.

Where to put it, the investment amount of nearly 800 million US dollars is extremely eye-catching, not to mention a super-rich man like Xiao Feng from mysterious China.

Old Duke didn't expect that Xiao Feng would actually come to the trading floor, looking at Old Bob's appearance, he should be quite identified with him, and he knows Old Bob very well, which is rare.

"Mr. Xiao, welcome to the Duke Trading Grounds!" Old Duke shook hands with Xiao Feng and said with a smile: "We will definitely provide you with the best service and help you buy the high-quality livestock you need most!"

Aside from the relationship with Old Bob, Xiao Feng is a big financier, and he is attractive enough for anyone, you must know that the 'Dream Ranch' has 150,000 pastures, and the livestock that can be accommodated can be imagined!

According to some of Montana's traditional numbers, the fully automatic irrigation pasture can accommodate at least 2 beef cattle per acre, and even if the 'Dream Ranch' has to breed its own breeding cattle, the number of breeding cattle purchased in the early stage will not be less than 20,000!

This is a super order worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and if you can make a part of the transaction through the 'Duke Market', the commission alone is enough to make the old Duke wake up from his dream!

"You call me 'Xiao' like old Bob!" Xiao Feng nodded and said, "Old Bob said that you are one of Helena's largest trading venues here, and I hope to have a happy cooperation!"

The reason why Old Bob came to this trading ground was naturally because of his decades-long friendship with Old Duke, and with the help of Old Duke, a local snake who was familiar with the situation, the 'Dream Ranch' could naturally find the best livestock.

Don't think that foreigners don't talk about personal relationships, in fact, in addition to the spirit of contract, foreigners also pay attention to human relations, and they are not as square and majestic as advocated by some 'public knowledge' in China.

In fact, since coming to the United States, Xiao Feng has not only discovered the differences in the development of agriculture and animal husbandry between the two countries, but also has a better understanding of the national and social conditions of the two countries, which cannot be seen in books and news.

"There's no problem!" Old Duke was in a good mood when he saw the big business coming to him, and began to lead the way in front of him, introducing some information about the trading floor to Xiao Feng.

In the United States, more than 90 percent of livestock is provided by large-scale farmers and breeding companies, which is unimaginable in the prevalent stage of China's smallholder economy.

Large-scale breeding has also led to the emergence of intermediaries such as the 'Duke Trading Field', which mainly provides a trading place for both supply and demand, and provides relevant information including quarantine, transportation and other services, providing sufficient convenience for both supply and demand.

For example, the 'Dream Ranch' requires the purchase of a large number of pasture horses and breeding cattle, so it is naturally impossible to go door-to-door to find them, so you can save a lot of time and effort by going to the Guò Trading Yard. Although you have to pay a commission of about 5% of the transaction amount, it is well worth it.

If it is replaced by the previous Xiao Feng, it is naturally reluctant to let the intermediary earn this 5%, after all, the transaction volume of hundreds of millions of dollars is nearly 10 million US dollars in commissions. However, Xiao Feng now knows very well that there is a specialization in the art industry, and leaving things to professionals is the right way.

After coming to the United States, Xiao Feng found that the social division of labor here is very developed, and almost all walks of life will have professional enterprises to deal with it, and as long as you have money, you can enjoy a full range of services.

For example, garbage disposal is completed by a professional garbage disposal and recycling company, residents only need to put the garbage in the designated place to classify and put it, and pay the garbage disposal fee on time,......。

Of course, behind these all-round professional services, there is Franklin!

The 'Duke Trading Ground' is one of Helena's largest trading grounds, and after a while, the elder Duke led Xiao Feng and his party to a fence to inspect the ranch horses for sale inside.

Xiao Feng noticed that these ranch horses were mainly quart horses and American flower horses, and each one was well taken care of by his owner, with shiny fur and high spirits.

In fact, in the treatment of horses, there is a big difference between Chinese herdsmen and American cowboys, don't look at the 'Jinghu Ranch' is also the best pasture in China, but the employees are more of a tool for pasture horses, but American cowboys regard horses as partners, the difference is too big!

Only by going deep into the American society can we feel the differences between the two countries, and only then can we find that foreign devils are not like the various one-sided impressions in many media reports.

Most of the so-called 'pride and prejudice' come from ignorance, which is Xiao Feng's biggest experience since he came to the United States! (To be continued......
