……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
As the owner of the dairy company, Zeng Cheng knows in his heart that if Xianyuan Dairy wants to maintain a trend of rapid development, it must not only rely on its own efforts, but also rely on the solid foundation laid by Xianyuan Ranch.
Not to mention anything else, no matter how hot Xianyuan milk is in the market, there is no ranch to provide enough high-quality fresh milk, everything is in vain.
Therefore, when the dairy company began to get on the right track, Zeng Cheng put more time and energy on Xianyuan Ranch.
After entering November, the staff of the ranch suddenly found that their own boss, who usually rarely showed up, frequently appeared at the ranch and walked around the ranch. However, the employees just thought that the boss was relaxing, after all, the situation of Xianyuan Dairy gave him a lot of pressure during this time.
No one knew that Zeng Cheng was planning to start the second phase of the Xianyuan Ranch.
On this day, Zeng Cheng came down from the mountain again and happened to run into Li Weimiao.
Li Weimiao was not surprised that Zeng Cheng had often been in and out of the valley in the past few days, but greeted him naturally: "Boss, you're back!"
"Lao Li, why don't you get off work yet?"
Zeng Cheng looked at the time, it was already past six o'clock, and seeing Li Weimiao dressed as a cowboy, Zeng Cheng knew that he was working overtime again.
Xianyuan Ranch prepared dormitories for employees, and Li Weimiao, who was the head of the ranch, was assigned a three-bedroom apartment, and he also took his wife over and settled down in Jiuli Township smoothly. As for the child, he studied in the magic capital, so he didn't have to worry about it.
However, because Li Weimiao is too dedicated, he doesn't go home when he gets off work, and often eats and lives in the ranch. His wife has complained to Zeng Cheng, the boss, about this more than once.
Li Weimiao didn't care about his overtime, and said: "Now that the temperature is getting lower and lower at night, these stinky boys are not experienced enough, I have to keep an eye on it." After surviving this winter, our Xianyuan Ranch can be regarded as truly on the right track!"
For a veteran cowboy who has been engaged in animal husbandry for more than 20 years, the life of the ranch has long been integrated into his bones, and he even dreams about the ranch.
During his studies, Li Weimiao saw the animal husbandry that had reached the extreme of the American Empire, and once made a great dream in his heart to breed the world's best dairy and beef cattle in China.
In the 20 years since he returned to China, Li Weimiao's ideals have suffered setbacks again and again in the face of cruel reality, and system problems and investors' eagerness for quick success have worn away Li Weimiao's ambition little by little. Even though he has done a good job on the ranch in Inner Mongolia in the past five years, Li Weimiao still can't find the feeling he wants, and he always feels that something is missing.
For this reason, Li Weimiao's wife once laughed at him for being a big old man and a young man, and he moaned without illness.
The reason why he joined Xianyuan Ranch is that in addition to the salary package is much higher than the original, the more important thing is that Li Weimiao was attracted by the prospects depicted by Zeng Cheng. For this reason, Li Weimiao, who was close to knowing his fate, was impulsive.
After joining Xianyuan Ranch, Zeng Cheng has a high degree of authority to Li Weimiao, except for personnel and the right to sign large sums of money of more than one million, Li Weimiao has the right to decide most of the affairs of the ranch.
This kind of trust makes Li Weimiao feel like he is dying as a confidant, and it makes sense to work hard every day. What's more, the high-quality pasture of Xianyuan Ranch is breeding the best cows and producing the best milk, which makes Li Weimiao full of fighting spirit.
Since the beginning of autumn, Li Weimiao has been like a clockwork machine, soaking in the pasture almost 24 hours a day.
For Li Weimiao's dedication, Zeng Cheng was also a little helpless, so he could only persuade him to pay attention to his body, Zeng Cheng didn't want the ranch to lose the most important executor in the stage of rapid development.
No, Zeng Cheng said to Li Weimiao again: "Lao Li, the work can't be done, you have to ask the employees to help you share some of it, otherwise the ranch will continue to expand in the future, how can you stand it?"
According to the latest survey results, after removing the reserved areas that are not suitable for pasture cultivation and nature reserves, the total area that can be developed as pasture in the entire Jinghu Valley has reached 200 square kilometers, or about 300,000 mu. Among them, Zeng Cheng plans to use the area for cattle raising is 200,000 mu.
After the ranch nourished by the spirit of the fairy, two acres of land is enough for the needs of one cow, which means that the ranch used for cattle raising in Xianyuan Ranch can raise 100,000 cattle. Among them, there are 20,000 dairy cows and 80,000 beef cattle.
This is ten times the current inventory of Xianyuan Ranch, and in order to achieve this goal, Li Weimiao, an experienced, shrewd and capable person in charge, is indispensable.
Li Weimiao didn't care, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I ride a horse every day, and I'm in good health." The rest of my life will be handed over to the ranch, and I'm happier than anyone else!"
The birth of the best milk made Li Weimiao realize a dream. And the performance of the 2,000 Holstein cows made Li Weimiao overjoyed. Next, Li Weimiao is looking forward to what kind of wonderful performance these purebred Angus cattle will have?
Judging from the data observed so far, the growth rate of beef in Xianyuan Ranch is one-third faster than that of ordinary pastures, which means that the beef that was originally slaughtered in 18 months may be available in a year, that is, in March and April 2009.
If the meat of these Angus cattle is tender after slaughter, and the distribution of oil flowers can form a perfect marbling pattern, it will make Xianyuan Ranch a production base for the world's top beef.
All kinds of visions for the future are important pillars to support Li Weimiao's dedication to ranch work, and even Zeng Cheng, the boss, has no right to deprive Li Weimiao of his happiness.
In a sense, the relationship between Zeng Cheng and Li Weimiao is not the same as a simple employment relationship.
………………
When the calendar turned to the end of November, the minimum temperature in the Qinglong Mountain area had reached about 5 degrees Celsius, especially the frost situation at night was quite serious, which brought a lot of trouble to the production of Xianyuan Ranch and Xianyuan Farm.
The fairy garden pasture is not bad, after all, the space pasture nourished by the fairy spirit qi has been enhanced in terms of cold tolerance, and it can still provide enough green fodder for the cattle in the pasture at low temperatures.
However, as the person in charge of the ranch, watching the sky and eating is not Li Weimiao's style, so when the temperature began to drop, he was already arranging for the harvesting of forage and the collection of green fodder.
Li Weimiao has done tests that after the pasture is harvested, most of the nutrients are not lost much, except for the drop in moisture, which ensures that the green storage feed can continue to provide enough heat and nutrients for the cattle in winter.
For many large farms, the cost of winter feed undoubtedly accounts for a considerable part of the ranch's operating costs, and the high-quality forage of Xianyuan Ranch solves this problem.
According to Li Weimiao's judgment, with a small amount of corn, wheat bran, soybean and other concentrate feed, there is no need to worry about the decline in milk production and beef cattle loss in Xianyuan Ranch this winter.
Therefore, Li Weimiao has been inspecting the pasture for the past two days, looking for a suitable place to prepare for the harvesting and production of green storage feed, and asked the employees to debug the forage harvesting and crushing machines, green storage feed balers and hay balers, etc.
Before the grass turns yellow and the first snow falls on Qinglong Mountain, all the green fodder and hay must be prepared to ensure that nearly 10,000 cattle survive the winter.
It can be said that this is the biggest test that Xianyuan Ranch has faced since its establishment, and it is also the heaviest period of work.
As long as the tasks can be successfully completed, it also indicates that Xianyuan Ranch has measures and means to deal with winter, which plays a vital role in the development of the ranch.
On this day, it coincided with the weekend, and the ranch wanted to start the harvesting and fermentation production procedures of green forage, and Zeng Cheng naturally had to go to the scene to record the big action of the ranch.
This is the No. 7 grassland of the pasture, with a length and width of about 2 kilometers and a total area of about 5,000 acres. So there are no cattle, sheep or other animals.
On this plot, in addition to pasture, a certain proportion of waxy corn is also planted, which is one of the best raw materials for green storage feed, after all, it is rich in sugar.
At the head of the field, 10 large combine harvesters are laid out, and the deafening roar of engines resounds throughout the valley, making people feel the powerful industrial power.
With Li Weimiao's order, 10 combine harvesters started at the same time, heading towards the plot composed of waxy corn and various mixed pastures.
I saw that the grass and corn stalks were cut down and crushed under the action of the harvester, and then turned into bales of green storage fodder through the baler, and transported to the truck that followed.
There was no other person in the whole process except for two drivers and two loading workers, and the efficiency was jaw-dropping.
According to Li Weimiao's introduction, 1 group of harvesters, a total of 4 people, can harvest 15 acres of green storage feed per hour, which is 150 acres in a day.
Don't look at the fact that this plot has an area of more than 5,000 acres, it only takes three days to complete the harvest, providing enough green fodder for 10,000 cattle in the pasture to survive the winter.
The huge power of mechanization made everyone a little dumbfounded, even Zeng Cheng was the first time to see such a spectacular scene.
Compared to the present, sowing grass at the beginning of the year now seems to be a bit pediatric.
As the combine harvester continues to advance, the rabbits, wild birds, pheasants and other small animals that live in the cornfields flee in panic, but it brings a little fun to the cold atmosphere brought by the cold steel machinery.
Seeing those fat rabbits running on the grass, Xiaohua and Xiaohei couldn't hold back any longer, and rushed down from the top of the hill to hunt down these prey in the valley. (To be continued.) )
