After they reluctantly accepted this fact, Zeng Cheng once again woke up Lawrence Wood, and then said to him: "Forget it, you are a guest from afar, I am embarrassed to win you a fine light, we Chinese have a saying, be a person and leave a line, and see each other in the future, this time I am in a good mood, so I will give you a discount, and only charge you 250 million US dollars."

After Lawrence Wood heard Zeng Cheng's words, his spirits suddenly improved a lot.

As a descendant of the Chicago consortium, even if he loses all his belongings, he will not really become a beggar with nothing, and the family will definitely continue to give him some money. It's just that he will definitely have to be restricted in his future life, and it is impossible for him to live as freely and colorful as he does now. Not to mention anything else, things like yachts, villas, and Hollywood actresses will definitely leave him. And he had been used to this kind of life before, but now that it is gone, he will feel unacceptable.

But now that he heard that Zeng Cheng actually kept half of it for himself, Lawrence Wood suddenly felt much more relaxed.

"Still, you'll have to do something for me. Zeng Cheng continued.

"What do you want me to do for you?" Lawrence Wood had long since lost his desire to hunt for beauty, thinking about how to get his money back was the most important thing, so he asked anxiously.

Zeng Cheng thought about it for a while and said, "You and I got a batch of things from the United States." ”

As soon as Lawrence Wood heard Zeng Cheng's words, he immediately sternly refused: "It is absolutely impossible for me to betray the country! I will not provide you with information on nuclear weapons! It is impossible to provide you with confidential information about the Department of Defense!"

Zeng Cheng suddenly rolled his eyes, thinking that this American really took it for granted, and he thought too highly of himself.

"What's the use of what I want from you? I mean, let you get some beef cattle to breed cattle. Well, you can help me get a few breeds of breeding cattle, specifically Charolais, Hereford, Limousin, and Belgian Blue, each of which will help me get 2,000 heads. You can always do that, right? Of course, you're going to have to pay for it. But when it happens, I'll pay you back $250 million as promised. Zeng Cheng said to Lawrence Wood.

After Lawrence Wood listened to Zeng Cheng's request, he felt a little surprised, he didn't know what Zeng Cheng was doing with so many breeding cattle, did he want to engage in beef cattle breeding?

However, these are not sensitive materials, and the companies under their Chicago consortium can be completed quickly. He carefully calculated, this time he will probably make himself pay 50 million US dollars, that is, he can get back 200 million US dollars, which is not bad.

So Lawrence Wood agreed.

"But can you give me fifty million dollars first?" asked Lawrence Wood.

"I'll give you 100 million, I've always been very generous. Zeng Cheng replied angrily.

Lawrence Wood almost wanted to vomit blood when he heard this. Zeng Cheng made him lose 300 million US dollars, and he had to thank others for letting him go.

But think about it, I'm really a little impulsive, and all my net worth is pressed up. This is simply irrational.

Thinking of this, he also had a bit of a grudge against Edward Rothschild. Why did he actually borrow a billion dollars from a Chinese? Could it be that so many banks in the United States have no money?!

All in all, Lawrence Wood lost miserably this time, that is, Zeng Cheng did not chase and fight, and directly let him leave bare-assed, otherwise he really couldn't even afford a ticket back.

And if this kind of thing is publicized, his own position within the consortium will definitely plummet, and it will no longer be taken seriously by the board of directors.

From this point of view, Zeng Cheng's subordinates showed mercy to him, which still means a lot to him.

After watching Lawrence Wood and the others leave in disgrace, Fan Yanhong said: "Zeng Cheng, you seem to be very faceless by doing this, and you have won all the money of investors, who will dare to go to the door of Chongqing City in the future?"

Zeng Cheng smiled and said: "He himself is anxious to win, who is to blame? ”

"Then you have made a profit this time, not only have you made so many breeding cattle, but you also have 250 million dollars in income. Fan Yanhong said with a smile.

"Haha, Uncle Fan, you don't know, the second phase of my ranch is under construction, and I am thinking about introducing some good beef cattle breeds from Europe and the United States. Zeng Cheng said with some smugness.

In fact, Zeng Cheng is also a little helpless, China is a big producer of beef cattle, the third largest beef cattle in the world, but China is not a beef cattle power, the output of beef cattle is very low, there are many reasons for this gap, of which cattle breed is one of the most important reasons.

Zeng Cheng had previously purchased some breeding cattle of beef cattle and dairy cows from the best breeding cattle training base in Beijing, and the cows were okay, but in terms of beef cattle, because of the cattle breed, although American experts were invited to rate them and got the prime evaluation, they did not reach Zeng Cheng's most ideal state.

This is because Angus cattle belong to a small precocious breed, the weight of the bull is 700~750 kg, the cow is 600~700 kg, the daily weight gain is 800~1000 grams, the meat production performance is good, the general slaughter rate is 60% ~ 65%, and the net meat rate is 48% ~ 52%. Even if it is nourished by the spirit of the fairy in the fairy garden ranch, the weight of an adult cow is only about 1,000 kilograms.

However, the breeds of cattle that Zeng Cheng asked Lawrence Wood to help introduce were different, all of them were large beef cattle breeds.

The Hereford cattle are also one of the oldest breeds of beef cattle in the UK, native to the county of Highford in the western part of the island of England. Breeding was carried out in the middle of the 18th century, with a focus on precociousness and meat quality, inbreeding and strict elimination. At present, the Seaford cattle are divided into British island and North American types, with the island type being smaller and the North American type being taller.

The Hayford cattle are typical of meat body types, with deep and broad body shape, full muscles, short head and broad forehead, short and thick neck, full forequarters, broad back and waist, full middle body, wide rumps, and short and thick limbs. The coat of the whole body is dark red or orange-yellow, except for the head, the hanging skin, the neck and the spine with the spine of the neck, the lower part of the abdomen, the lower part of the limbs and the tip of the tail, which are white. There are two types: angular and hornless, and the horns are waxy yellow or white. It is adaptable, drought and cold resistant.

Adult Hyford bulls weigh 900~1100 kg, cows 520~620 kg, daily weight gain of more than 1000 grams, slaughter rate after fattening can reach 67%, up to 70%, net meat rate of 60%.

Charolais is the largest breed of beef cattle in Europe, native to the Charolais and Nievreux regions of central France, and is one of the modern large-scale meat breeds. Charolais cattle are large service cattle, in the 18th century began to be systematically bred, in 1964 22 countries around the world united, the establishment of the International Charolais cattle association, so that the breed further improved.

Charolais cattle are tall and muscular, and belong to the large beef cattle breed. The coat is milky white or light milky yellow, and the skin is flesh red. The forehead is wide and the face is short, the corners are rounded and long, the front is stretched, the neck is medium and long, the chest is deep and round, the back and waist are deep and broad, the buttocks are plump, the whole body is barrel-shaped, the limbs are thick, and the muscles of the hind legs are very developed, with the characteristics of double muscles.

Charolais cattle are resistant to rough feeding, cold and heat. The early growth is rapid, the lean meat rate is high, the adult bull weighs 900~1200 kg, and the cow is 670~790 kg. The slaughter rate is 65%~70%, and the net meat rate is 55%. Charolais cattle have a very high daily gain before the age of 15 months and are recognized worldwide as the male parent of an economic cross.

Limousin cattle are the second largest breed in France after Charolais, native to the Haute-Viennese, Kreuz and Colyuz provinces of France, and are named after the Limousin plateau in central France. Like Charolais, Limousin cattle were originally large service cattle that began to be bred in 1850 and are now introduced in more than 50 countries around the world.

The Limousin cattle are slightly smaller than the Charolais, with a strong physique and full muscles, and are also a large breed of beef cattle. The coat of the whole body is mostly reddish-yellow, and the coat around the nose, eyelids, and under the abdomen is lighter. The body is long, the horns are white, the head and neck are thick and short, the shoulder is raised, the chest is wide and deep, the ribs are rounded, the back and waist are strong, the jiri are flat and broad, the limbs are strong, and the overall structure is good, showing a typical carnal body shape.

Limousin cattle are resistant to rough feeding, docile temperament, and mature early. Adult bulls weigh 900~1100 kg, cows are 600~800 kg, the slaughter rate is 63%~71%, and the net meat rate is 50%~58%. Limousin cattle have a very low rate of dystocia, and the calf birth weight is relatively small when crossed with any beef cattle breed, and the general dystocia rate is only 0.5%.

The Belgian Blue Cattle, also known as the Belgian Devil's Muscle Cattle, is native to Belgium and is the strongest cattle in the world. In the 19th century, in north-central Belgium, it was crossed with British shorthorn cattle and French Charlotte cattle, and was initially bred as a dairy breed, and in 1950 a random genetic mutation was fixed in the breed using inbreeding to greatly improve meat performance. At present, it has been bred into a special breed for pure meat, and has been introduced to more than 20 countries such as the United States and Canada.

The Belgian Blue Bull is tall and very muscular. The coat is white, with blue or black spots on the body, and the size of the spots varies greatly. The head is light, the back is straight, the jiri is slightly oblique, the body surface muscles are very eye-catching, the muscle bundles are developed, the shoulders, back, waist and back buttocks are heavily folded, showing typical double muscle characteristics, and the body is long and cylindrical.

Belgian blue cattle are precocious, the early growth rate is fast, the average weight of adult bulls is 1200 kg, the average cow is 725 kg, the slaughter rate is 65%~71%, and the muscle provides 18%~20% more than other breeds of cattle. The mutation in the myostatin gene not only makes the Belgian blue cattle abnormally muscular, but also affects the fat deposits, making the Belgian blue cattle 30% less fat and lower cholesterol than other cattle breeds.

Of these four breeds of cattle, the weight of adult bulls is basically more than 1,000 kilograms, and the cows are not much different from the cows of Angus cattle. If nourished by the fairy spirit of Xianyuan Farm, Zeng Cheng believes that the weight of the bull can basically reach 1,500 kilograms, and the cow is basically more than 1,000 kilograms.
