Just when Zeng Cheng was busy relieving the bird plague in the Qinglong Scenic Area, the whole of China was boiling over a piece of news about him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Forbes' 2009 list of the world's richest people was announced, and Zeng Cheng ranked 50th on this list, even surpassing the famous Russian oil oligarch Abramovich. According to Forbes magazine's estimates, Zeng's personal fortune is as high as $8.7 billion, including a domestic estimate of $6.5 billion and Manchester United's valuation at $2.2 billion.

I have to say that Forbes magazine's magical powers are still quite vast, and even Manchester United, which Zeng Cheng has just taken over, has been counted into Zeng Cheng's personal wealth. Moreover, because of Manchester United's recent excellent results and the factor of welcoming a new Chinese owner, the valuation of Manchester United is much higher than that of the same period in another time and space.

And this time in the Forbes Global Rich List, the mainland's richest people are not competitive at all compared with Zeng Cheng, because in addition to Zeng Cheng, the highest ranking of the mainland's richest people in the world is Xichuan's Liu Shoufu, who ranks 206th on the global rich list with a wealth of 3 billion US dollars.

After Forbes magazine announced this year's rich list, major media outlets across the country flocked to Shicheng to interview Zeng Cheng and Xianyuan Group. Fortunately, both Zeng Cheng and Xianyuan Group now have experience in dealing with these reporters, so it has not affected the normal operation of the company, nor has it affected Zeng Cheng's personal life.

After Zeng Cheng and Xianyuan Group coped with this wave of reporters' interviews, the time had entered April.

The Qinglong Scenic Area in April is sunny and the temperature is pleasant, which is the most comfortable season of the year, not to mention that the alpine rhododendrons on the surrounding mountains have been opening one after another, and the entire Qinglong Scenic Area is in a sea of flowers.

During this period of time, self-driving tourists from the surrounding big cities rushed to the Qinglong Scenic Area to enjoy flowers and watch birds, accounting for more than two-thirds of the reception volume of the scenic spot, and the alpine rhododendron in the Qinglong Scenic Area has become the most popular ornamental flower in the southwest region.

However, for tourists, the road conditions of National Highway 319 and Qingshi Highway cannot be perfected, which seriously restricts the development of Qinglong Scenic Area. Now everyone is looking forward to the highway from Yudu to Shicheng. After all, after the opening of the expressway, it will become more convenient to travel between the Qinglong Scenic Area and the Chongqing metropolitan area.

However, the opening of the highway to traffic has also been this year's National Day, before that, everyone can still only go to the Qinglong Scenic Area through today's roads.

Today, to the surprise of residents and long-stay tourists who are familiar with Zeng Cheng, Zeng Cheng, Xin Xiaoqiang and other high-level executives of the Xianyuan Group lined up in the square of the tourist reception center, seemingly waiting for distinguished guests.

Based on the villagers' understanding of Zeng Cheng, the last time he stood here to greet guests, it was when Lai Xingbang, an elder and secretary of the municipal party committee, inspected the Qinglong Scenic Area, could it be that Lai Xingbang was coming again?

Although it is somewhat surprising that the secretary of the municipal party committee has come to a remote mountainous township within a year, it is only reasonable that it is related to the rapid development of Jiuli Street and Xianyuan Group.

However, surprisingly, when a convoy arrived at the tourist reception center and a group of foreigners led by a Chinese interpreter rushed down, many people still fell through their glasses.

For the villagers of Jiuli Street, foreigners are no strangers, basically every inn has received foreigners, and everyone is used to it. Moreover, everyone can't see what is special about these middle-aged and elderly foreigners, and they need to let Zeng Cheng, the new richest man in the country, come forward to greet him in person.

Seeing that the delegation of the United States Department of Agriculture had arrived safely accompanied by officials at the two levels in the urban area, Zeng Cheng suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly greeted Xin Xiaoqiang, Li Weimiao and others.

After greeting for a while, the staff of the US Department of Agriculture who led the team asked to rush to the ranch as soon as possible to start work, and the vigorous and resolute style made the accompanying Chinese officials stunned.

In the perception of these officials, when officials come to an enterprise to conduct evaluation activities, they naturally have to take a break and eat a good meal before starting their work. Where are these foreigners like this, who have to enter the working state as soon as they get off the car, and let no one live?

However, these officials were all on order, and there was no way to change the decision of the USDA delegation, so they could only follow the delegation to the convoy to Xianyuan Ranch with resentment.

Zeng Cheng has also dealt with government departments over the years, and knew that domestic officials were naturally not suitable for this kind of occasion, so he motioned to some senior executives of some companies to receive these officials, and he took Xin Xiaoqiang, Li Weimiao and others to sit with the principal of the delegation.

The convoy traveled all the way, and all the scenery around it made the American guests breathtaking, thinking that this was a pure land on earth.

The leader of the USDA delegation was Adolf, a descendant of German immigrants who is about 60 years old. According to what Zeng Cheng learned through Gloria beforehand, the bearded professor is currently an authoritative expert in the field of beef rating in the United States and even in the world, and he is also the chief scientist of the livestock group under the Agricultural Marketing Service of the United States Department of Agriculture. Now, most of the top beef ratings in countries including the United States, New Zealand, Australia and other countries are in charge of this old man and his team. Although inviting them requires a huge payment to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, once the rating is passed, the value of the cattle on each ranch will increase significantly.

Since the establishment of Xianyuan Ranch, Zeng Cheng's goal has been to target the international top beef market, which is why he is willing to spend a lot of money to invite this old man's team to Xianyuan Ranch.

After nearly a year of breeding, the first batch of Angus black cattle born in Xianyuan Ranch has entered the slaughter period, in order to be able to sell at a better price, Zeng Cheng decided to follow the American beef grade evaluation standards for grading.

In fact, if it weren't for Zeng Cheng's relationship with the Luo family in the United States, it would be difficult to invite this old man's team.

The last time he was in the UK, Zeng Cheng mentioned this matter to Gloria, and Gloria told Zeng Cheng that her father Edward had a good relationship with the chief scientist in charge of this area at the Ministry of Agriculture.

Although Zeng Cheng was curious about how a descendant of German immigrants became good friends with a Jew, he knew that this was not a matter that he should be concerned about, so he just asked Gloria for help and contacted the other party.

The green mountains and green waters, blue skies and white clouds along the way made Adolf and his entourage quite satisfied, and felt that this ranch did not hide it in the application materials, at least the environment here is not worse than those alpine ranches near Yellowstone National Park in the United States.

After entering the ranch, Adolf was pleased to find that the ranch was built in strict accordance with the model of traditional American ranches, which gave him more confidence in the next assessment work.

As an authoritative animal husbandry expert, Adolf is not a real political figure, and he is not concerned with the differences between China and the United States, but more concerned about whether he can dig up more and better high-quality beef for consumers.

For the American people, who eat beef as a staple food, there is never too much high-grade beef!

After learning that Li Weimiao, the person in charge of Xianyuan Ranch, had studied animal husbandry at Texas A&M University in the United States, Adolf became more and more optimistic about Xianyuan Ranch.

And when Adolf walked into the fairy garden ranch, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.

The snow-capped mountains, blue sky, white clouds, lakes, grasslands, and thousands of cattle roaming in them make everyone feel relaxed and happy, and they can't help but gallop on the vast grassland.

Rao is Adolf has traveled all over the world's major pastures, and has never seen such a beautiful pasture, if Xianyuan Ranch is indeed in strict accordance with the free-range standard for cattle stocking, it seems that Xianyuan Ranch has a very firm goal at the beginning of construction.

In particular, the overwhelming abundance of high-quality pasture grass surprised Adolf, who never imagined that the little-known Xianyuan Ranch could actually cultivate such a high-grade alfalfa grass.

Raising cattle is planting grass, as long as you have high-quality pasture, the quality of beef will not be bad.

After entering the depths of the ranch, the accompanying staff began to take out various instruments and equipment to collect the water source, soil and pasture of Xianyuan Ranch, etc., and prepared to take them back for testing and verification.

In order to accurately reflect the existence of heavy metal content, pesticide residues and other unfavorable factors in Xianyuan Ranch, the delegation brought a complete set of experimental equipment from the United States, which can make the most detailed inspection within two days.

Zeng Cheng led the delegation straight to the herd of beef cattle that were just over a year old, which is also the subject of this beef rating, and Adolf will randomly select a few of the thousands of beef cattle to slaughter, and then grade the beef of each part of it.

When Adolf saw that the herd of majestic Angus cattle, which weighed at least 1,000 kilograms, he was somewhat incredulous, and it was too staggering to be able to grow to this standard in just over a year.

Adolf, based on his own experience, knew that these big and fast creatures were not raised in fattening pens, but raised in the vast grasslands.

After inspecting several ranches where beef cattle are raised, Adolf couldn't help but give Zeng Cheng a thumbs up and said with emotion: "Zeng, I have to say, your ranch is one of the few top ranches I have ever seen!" ”

Judging from Adolf's experience, Xianyuan Ranch does breed beef cattle in strict accordance with the method of ecological pasture, which is extremely rare even in the world.

Zeng Cheng accepted Adolf's praise calmly, and said with a smile: "I hope that the next inspection and evaluation can have a good result!" (To be continued.) )
