Chapter 198: Grab some wild food
"Don't you think it's ungentlemanly to just hang a beautiful lady here?"
Taylor saw Zhou Yu get up, knowing in his heart that he was going to get honey, but he didn't have a reason to say such a sentence. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhou Yu paused, turned around to meet Taylor's flowing eyes, couldn't help but move in his heart, and said, "But there are only two of us here." You know that if I go to get honey and I don't go, who will? ”
"Where's your Christina?"
Taylor smiled and looked around.
"She's not home." Zhou Yu smiled.
"So," Taylor stood up, stepped forward, came to Zhou Yu's side, and looked at Zhou Yu meaningfully: "Together?" ”
"Why not?"
Taylor snuggled up to the situation, and Zhou Yu was not ambiguous, and grabbed the woman's waist with his hand.
...
Zhou Yu did not refuse to dew all night. Like this, it's just playing, it's not serious, and neither side needs to bear anything, it's simple.
He didn't like Taylor, even though Taylor was okay looking. I also know that Taylor is willing to do it, and it is not because of what he likes or loves, which is very common in the United States.
When you feel it, you do it.
Like Taylor said, just thought, that's all.
There may be other inducements, such as when Qu Jing and Fang Tingting talked to her about private conversations, they talked about these, which aroused some curiosity.
But it turned out that curiosity hurt her and she could barely walk.
But after all, she was just playing, and then took the warm jade honey and left.
When Tina returned, Taylor had just left, or rather, Zhou Yu had just finished the battle. Tina sensed something.
Zhou Yu did not deliberately conceal it.
Tina asked, and he said.
Tina, who knew Zhou Yu very well, experienced the indifference and indifference from Zhou Yu's tone and expression, and knew that it was just a very ordinary 'exchange' and did not involve any feelings, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.
And for Zhou Yu, this is indeed the case.
People change gradually. If a year ago, Zhou Yu had a strong possessiveness towards women who had a relationship. Of course, there are still any, but there are premises.
Whether it's Tina or Angie, they both have an emotional foundation. And Qu Jing is a chick, and Fang Tingting is Qu Jing's incidental. As for Christine, it's for some external reasons.
Taylor, on the other hand, does not involve any of them.
Moreover, in Zhou Yu's opinion, a woman like Taylor can only be used to satisfy hunger and solve physiological needs, nothing more. This woman's life is a bit erosive in Zhou Yu's eyes and not worth it.
It didn't make him feel excited.
...
Yuyin Farm focuses on fruits, and seafood is slightly secondary, but in addition to these two projects, there is another project that is about to be launched. That's animal husbandry.
Or rather, cattle breeding.
When the new second district was first expanded, the small ranch that was bought, in which hundreds of cattle, gradually changed dramatically with the influence of the jade seal.
Last year, a total of more than 1,000 Angus cattle were produced, all of which were sold to Wal-Mart, with an average of about 100,000 US dollars each, creating an output value of more than 100 million. Of course, this is nothing, and Zhou Yu will even ignore it.
However, by this year, there has been a qualitative change in the breed of cattle in the small pasture, and Lin Quan suggested expanding the scale of Angus cattle breeding.
Zhou Yu agreed.
Among them, there is not only profit, but also revenge.
The world's best beef comes from Japan, or more precisely, from Asahi United Co., Ltd. Although Zhou Yu had taken revenge on the Asahi Club with the most violent means, and even killed their boss, he still felt that he still owed something in his heart, which was a bit of a stalk.
There are many mixed emotions mixed with this, including the anger at the attack on the farm, and a kind of hatred between peoples. It seems that it is impossible to retaliate too much.
Now Asahi Co., Ltd. has declined a lot because of Zhou Yu's revenge last time. But it's still not to be underestimated. Now that the farm has Ma Yuyin cattle on it, it can probably be regarded as a second wave of revenge.
Once the cattle produced by the farm are fully marketed, it also indicates that Japan's Kobe cattle are no longer the world's top beef cattle, which is tantamount to taking a salary from the bottom of the kettle, which Zhou Yu is happy to see.
However, it is impossible to defeat Kobe cattle on a small pasture. How many cattle can be raised on a small ranch of a few hundred acres? Nothing.
Therefore, it is necessary to expand the area of pastures and increase the scale of breeding.
Counting the area of the farm and sea area that Zhou Yu now owns, the total area of the farm is 40,000 acres, and the sea area of 300 square kilometers is more than 74,000 acres, plus more than 1,000 acres of forest area, a total of more than 115,000 acres.
The area of influence of the jade seal is now 129,000 acres, that is, less than 14,000 acres of influence remain.
To expand the area of the pasture, unless the area of influence of the jade seal continues to expand, it can only be limited to these fourteen thousand acres.
The growth of the Jade Seal's sphere of influence now seems to have reached a bottleneck. Often, no matter where Zhou Yu goes, once he wants to stay away from the farm, he will take the jade seal for a walk, but unfortunately, no matter how much meteorite breath is absorbed now, it is difficult for its influence area to grow, and it is not at all like blowing up balloons at the beginning.
Therefore, Zhou Yu also extinguished the idea of walking the jade seal all over the world early.
Otherwise, he would have traveled all over the world under the pretext of traveling with the jade seal a long time ago, and he would not have stayed still on the farm all the time.
He estimated that if there were no special circumstances, I was afraid that in this life, the scope of influence of the jade seal would only be like this.
But counting more than 10,000 acres of pasture, it's not small. Raising 100,000 head of cattle should not be a problem.
100,000 Jade Seal Angus Cattle, even if you count the previous 100,000 US dollars, that is 10 billion, which is a lot. And the volume is not small, it is estimated that it can seize a considerable part of the high-end beef market.
And the direction of expansion of the pasture can only go south. Along the southern edge of the current farm, all the way south, buy all the land, and estimate the size to be about the same.
At this point, the area of the farm is limited. With mountains to the north, a direct border to the air base to the south, and Sitok and several adjacent towns to the east, there is basically not much room for expansion.
But that's enough.
If it weren't for the horse husbandry project this time, Zhou Yu probably wouldn't have thought about continuing to expand the total area of the farm.
In the new villa, Lin Quan is reporting the situation to Zhou Yu.
"To the south of the new second district, the cordon bordering the air base is about 12,000 acres. I have consulted with the relevant authorities in the city of Santa Maria and they offer 10 million US dollars. ”
Zhou Yu nodded slightly when he heard this: "Then buy it." Since this land is going to be used as a pasture, the corresponding facilities and equipment must be considered in advance, have you planned it? ”
"There's already a detailed plan." Lin Quan Zhengse said: "If the 12,000-acre pasture is rich in resources, then the cattle that can be raised are at least more than 100,000 heads. At present, there are more than 700 breeding cattle and more than 300 calves in the pasture, and we need to buy at least 10,000 breeding cattle and several times the calves to enrich the new pasture, so as to build the main body of the new pasture as soon as possible. ”
"In addition to that, there are irrigation facilities, drinking facilities for livestock... and many other details to deal with..."
Zhou Yu listened carefully to Lin Quan's narration, and after listening, he nodded slightly: "Then let's do it as soon as possible." After buying the land, it should be leveled, the grass should be planted, the cattle should be planted, the cattle should be bought... By the way, is there a candidate for a ranch manager? ”
Lin Quan shook his head: "Among the managers of the entire farm, there are no talents who are good at large-scale animal husbandry, so they have to be recruited from outside. In addition, there is a need for a lot of workers, cowboys. The current small ranch has seven people plus the original management staff, which is a big difference. ”
"Then recruit people." Zhou Yu waved his hand: "Anyway, as soon as possible, don't procrastinate, can it be done in a month?" ”
"As much as possible."
At the same time as the ranch project was launched, Zhou Yu received another piece of good news.
As early as a month ago, the ten novels published by Yuewen's American branch finally have good news.
In a month, sixty or seventy percent of the 100,000 copies of each previous print printed, totaling one million physical novels, were sold. In other words, these ten novels with one million copies sold six or seven hundred thousand copies in one month.
Of course, this data is not as good as those famous works on the bestseller list, but it is not bad either. It can be said that it was an instant hit.
Six or seven hundred thousand copies, the price of each copy is 25 US dollars, here is more than 10 million US dollars.
It's a good start for Yuewen.
After all, it's only been a month. Selling books is a long-term industry, not a one-shot deal. Especially good books, ten or twenty years, can be sold the same.
Of course, it is not easy for fast food literature like online literature to be trickle, after all, it is not a masterpiece. But a month is too short. Judging from the current sales situation, each of the 100,000 copies printed in the first print should be sold out.
The general manager of Yuewen's American branch and Wu Wenhui from the headquarters both called to report the good news.
Zhou Yu is still quite satisfied with this, but still reminds them not to get carried away. A total of one million copies, even if they are sold out, it will only be more than 20 million US dollars, and Zhou Yu will certainly not be satisfied.
"We're going to use a three-month cycle." Zhou Yu said to Wu Wenhui on the phone: "Every three months, you can choose some fine products to be published in the United States, of course, I don't stipulate how many copies, you can see for yourself." I have only one request, and that is boutique. ”
After a pause, he added: "There are some of these twists and turns, which must be eliminated." Let me give you a reminder that the editors below had better not play some shady tricks. ”
The so-called means of seeing the light are easy to understand.
Let's say a novel is eligible for publication in the U.S., but it needs to be confirmed by the editor. If the editor uses this as a threat to ask the author for money, and the author gives it, then it is easy to say, if you don't give it, you won't report it. In other words, in order for his book to be published in the United States, the author independently bribed the editor and replaced other high-quality products with inferior products, which Zhou Yu did not allow.
Wu Wenhui naturally knows it. This kind of thing is actually too common, not just Daxia. If Zhou Yu doesn't mention it, he will also pay attention.
Of course, the intensity must be much smaller.
"I understand, Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Yu snorted and said, "In addition, the operation of the novel to be published in the United States must be gradual. It can't always be a Western fantasy category, but you have to gradually change your style, add categories, and eventually all kinds of genres go hand in hand. But you can't be impatient, step by step, step by step! (To be continued.) )
