【Chapter 758】 Scaling Up (Asking for Subscription!)

Expanding the scale of the ranch is not simply to increase the number of beef cattle, it must improve the software and hardware of the ranch in an all-round way to meet the upgrade conditions.

Although the dual nourishment of 'Space Pasture' and 'Space Spiritual Spring' minimizes the probability of the beef cattle of the 'Dream Ranch' being infected with the epidemic, the ranch still needs to have a certain number of veterinarians and related hardware equipment.

Cowboys also know some veterinary knowledge, but their official reputation is not justified, and many things still need to be saved by professionals.

This is also the relevant requirement of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and large-scale ranches such as 'Dream Ranch' naturally have more and stricter regulations, which are related to the price of beef cattle slaughtered in the future.

The United States has quite strict regulations on food safety, starting from the production of ingredients, there are layers of supervision, random inspections, and efforts to make most of the ingredients on the market safe and legal. In particular, it is the top ingredient of the upper class, and it has been subject to the strictest supervision from the very beginning, perhaps this is a common feature all over the world, and the vital interests of those in power are always prioritized.

Of course, there must be darkness under the light, and the food safety in some slums in the United States is not the concern of the officials, and all kinds of black-hearted foods emerge in an endless stream.

In China, some people think that the food in the United States, including Europe, is very safe, but in fact, it is just a partial generalization, and black-hearted businessmen are not only unique to China.

'If there is 20 percent profit, capital will be ready to move, if there is 50 percent profit, capital will take risks, if there is 100 percent profit, capital will dare to risk hanging its head, and if there is 300 percent profit, capital will dare to trample on the laws of the world!'

Lao Ma's words are not only applicable to the industrial ** period, even in the Internet era, as long as they can make money, people don't care so much.

However, organic ranches such as Dream Ranch, whose main customer base is top-notch restaurants, are naturally closely monitored by government agencies, and those in power take their food safety very seriously.

As an organic farm, Dream Farm does not use chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or non-degradable materials, and even has very detailed regulations for the treatment of sick cattle.

In order to meet the various inspections of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, it is not surprising that the ranch has a high-standard veterinary center.

All in all, the construction of 'Dream Ranch' is carried out in the direction of organic farms, and the hardware and software facilities are carried out in accordance with the requirements of the U.S. Department of Agriculture at the beginning of its establishment.

Because of the Kiang Lake Beef Cattle, the Kiang Lake Group has a good relationship with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, so many details of the construction of the Dream Farm have also received detailed guidance from the Ministry of Agriculture.

Don't think that the government agencies in the United States will only do things strictly according to the rules, they are also flexible, after all, even the best system needs people to enforce it.

The 'Jinghu Group' has cultivated top-quality beef such as 'Jinghu Beef Cattle', which means that 'Dream Ranch' has a great possibility to replicate the success of 'Jinghu Ranch', which is also known as a professional advantage.

For this kind of strong enterprise, the U.S. Department of Agriculture is naturally happy to see it, and no one can find fault with the corresponding support and help given to the 'Dream Ranch' in the legal provisions.

In the early days of the construction of the Dream Ranch, the U.S. Department of Agriculture sent a working group to give detailed guidance on the construction of the irrigation system of the ranch, and conducted spot checks on the water, soil and pasture grass of the ranch, and filed a record.

In the future, when the 'Dream Ranch' starts to have beef cattle slaughtered, the U.S. Department of Agriculture will also send an evaluation team to grade the beef and certify it organic!

In a word, 'Dream Ranch' has entered the red list of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and it can enjoy the same treatment as ordinary ranches.

The cooperation and connection between the 'Mirror Lake Group' and the Walton family and the Morgan family has also greatly facilitated the investment of the 'Mirror Lake Group' in the United States, which is also a society that pays attention to personal relationships.

In addition, Xu Mengyao's special identity also allows the actions of the 'Jinghu Group' in the United States to be more or less taken care of, but this subtlety is only clear to the parties concerned, and they cannot see the light.

All in all, the development of 'Dream Ranch' has surpassed the development trajectory of ordinary enterprises, but even so, if 'Dream Ranch' wants to expand its scale, it has to take a long-term view.

…………

As the deputy manager in charge of the business of Dream Ranch, Bob carefully analyzed the current situation of Dream Ranch and gradually clarified the next development ideas.

Cowboys naturally don't need to recruit anymore, and now the 'Dream Ranch' has 120 cowboys, in addition to 20 people to cooperate with the scientific research team to work in the breeding farm, another 100 cowboys take care of less than 100,000 beef cattle is more than enough.

In general, the average cowboy can care for about 500 beef cattle, but ordinary ranches often have to move cattle and have a lot of work. But at Dream Ranch, the area-wide fully automated irrigation system allows for a large pasture without the need for frequent cattle migration. The workload is greatly reduced.

At the same time, the good infrastructure of Dream Ranch allows cowboys to focus on grazing, saving a lot of time and effort.

So, in old Bob's experience, the number of cowboys grazing at 'Dream Ranch' can be doubled on an average basis, and a hundred cowboys take care of 100,000 beef cattle, which is more than enough!

In fact, what Old Bob didn't know was that in the beef cattle grazing at Mirror Lake Ranch, the average cowboy covered more than 1,200 cows. It's just that these experiences need to be gradually adapted and mastered by Bob Sr. in the coming days.

All the cowboys at Dream Ranch have a ranch canteen staff come to the ranch to bring them lunch at noon, breakfast can also be served in the canteen, and for dinner, the cowboys can choose to make their own or eat in the canteen.

In this way, denim can not only save time, but also the cost of living.

Today, Dream Ranch is offering $1,500 a month for the average cowboy, including room and board, and a little more for a small supervisor, while Bob Sr. earns $3,000 a month. That's a good pay in Montana, where families with an annual income of about $50,000 are already middle-class by American standards.

Montana's cowboy culture is generally not high, most of them have only attended high school or local community college, and their path to employment is very narrow. Many cowboys have unstable jobs and often do odd jobs between ranches, without much security.

Today, Dream Ranch is willing to provide cowboys with a steady job and income that is enough to motivate them to work hard and keep their jobs.

Now many cowboys outside have found old Bob through guò connections to inquire when the 'Dream Ranch' will recruit new ones, after all, the conditions here are good, although they are Chinese bosses.

However, Bob Sr. knows that until the number of beef cattle is less than 80,000, the 'Dream Ranch' will not recruit new ones for the time being, and it is the current situation, and many cowboys are unusually idle every day.

Old Bob also specifically asked Xiao Feng why he recruited 100 Chinese cowboys to come to the United States so early, and was relieved to learn that this was early training.

After all, the average salary of 100 Chinese cowboys is about $2,000 a month, which is more than two million a year, and it is not a waste if it is trained.

Cowboys don't need to be increased, the ranch infrastructure is perfect, the only thing that needs to be increased now is the size of the herd, and high-quality Angus black cattle have become the main job of old Bob in recent times.

Bob Sr. had a great deal of friends with Helena and Montana, and many ranchers and cattle brokers maintained close ties with him. Therefore, when the elder Bob released the 'Dream Ranch' and still needed to buy 30,000 Angus cattle, he instantly became the busiest person in the entire ranch.

In order to live up to the trust of the boss, Bob Sr. went out early and returned late almost every day to check the condition of the cattle at various pastures, and was sure to select high-quality Angus black cattle for the pasture.

Seeing Old Bob so busy and hard, in fact, Xiao Feng was also a little unbearable, because he knew that no matter how bad the beef cattle were, as long as they came to the 'Dream Ranch', under the double nourishment of 'Space Grass' and 'Space Spirit Spring', the situation would naturally improve.

It's just that this kind of secret naturally can't be appealed to, so Xiao Feng had no choice but to assign Xiao Liang from Ginkgo Village to Old Bob as an assistant to share some of the workload for him.

For such a conscientious and excellent employee as old Bob, Xiao Feng naturally sees it in his heart, and now the ranch is still in the process of construction, and there are no more projects to increase salaries and bonuses, so Xiao Feng decided to wait until the ranch is profitable in the future, and take out a part of it to reward the outstanding employees.

After the busy work of the old Bob, the first batch of newly added Angus black cattle arrived at the 'Dream Ranch' on July 8, with a total of more than 8,000 cattle, bringing the ranch's beef cattle herd to 30,000 heads!

In the next month, more than 30,000 Angus black cattle will arrive at the 'Dream Ranch', so that the 'Dream Ranch' will get rid of its current large and empty state and initially have a thriving ranch.

If it is replaced by an ordinary ranch, the expenditure of hundreds of millions of dollars will definitely put the capital chain of the ranch into a tight state, but for the 'Jinghu Group', 200 million US dollars is just two weeks' profits, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is 'a drop in the bucket'!

The scale of the 'Dream Ranch' gradually expanded, and suddenly the whole ranch was much more lively, and even Xiao Jinyang soaked in the pasture all day long, and completely liked the life of galloping horses and grazing!R1152
