Section 56: Spring Ploughing [Ask for Recommendation, Collection]
"Damn, there are frozen bones on the stinky road of Zhumen's wine and meat. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeใ infoโ
"Are you frozen bones?" Ye Mu smiled and rubbed his shoulders, took the cigar handed by Zhang Dongsheng, and said.
"I'm worse than frozen bones, and I'm in debt." As a buddy with Ye Mu, a goldfinger player, Zhang Dongsheng felt pressured, and not long ago he borrowed a sum of money from Carl, bought three ranches, expanded the land to 10,000 acres, and prepared to build a beef jerky processing plant and slaughterhouse.
"Don't worry, when you go bankrupt in debt, I will take over your ranch."
Carl put down the club, lit the cigar given by Zhang Dongsheng, and said, "Zhang, if you want, I want to invest in your Dongsheng company." โ
Zhang Dongsheng touched the bridge of his nose and said, "You invest in me?" How much does it cost? โ
"Thirteen million, I only need forty-five percent of the shares. What do you think? Carl laughed.
Zhang Dongsheng looked at Ye Mu, and Ye Mu looked at Carl and said, "Are you serious?" โ
"Of course. When Zhang Dongsheng asked me for a loan, I read his business plan, although there were many flaws, but the general direction was correct. Moreover, my joining can make the development of Dongsheng company better, and I have this confidence. Carl patted his chest.
Zhang Dongsheng bit his lip, took a deep breath, and said, "Fifteen million, forty-five percent shares." โ
Karl stretched out his right hand: "Okay, happy cooperation." โ
"It's a pleasure to work with."
Carl's personal ability is undoubted, and the relationship behind him will bring a lot of convenience to the business operation.
The next day, just after dawn, Sears and his party came to the farm.
The leader Sears was an old man in his fifties and sixties, and the others were all in good health.
The new projects of the farm mainly include roads, airports, pastures, warehouses......
At the airport, Ye Mu is preparing to build a standard runway, and the purchase of private jets has been planned. It's easier to get around with your own airport runway......
Highway, standard tertiary road width. Of course, it doesn't have to be built so well, you must know that the standard cost of a third-class highway in the United States is 600 dollars per kilometer. The road you use is not always covered by cars, and it is completely unnecessary to build it too well, and the cost of one kilometer will not exceed two million.
In the pasture, Ye Mu is ready to raise at least 20,000 beef cattle and 10,000 sheep in a centralized manner. Generally speaking, the cow manure produced by a cow every day is 5%~6% of the cow's body weight, so it is estimated that 20,000 cows can pull hundreds of tons of cow dung a day. Therefore, a large biogas digester and a cow manure treatment workshop will be built on the farm. Otherwise, I really don't know what to do with hundreds of tons of cow dung every day......
Wheat straw is added to the biogas digester to produce biogas for electricity generation and heating. Therefore, a small power station will be built in Stone Canyon. Cow manure can basically be completely fermented in the biogas digester, and then processed into manure by the cow manure treatment workshop. As a result, the farm can produce more than 100,000 tons of manure every year, which fully meets the needs of the farm. In this way, hundreds of thousands of fertilizer dollars can be saved every year......
Moreover, 20,000 cattle are raised intensively, and all the supporting facilities are not expensive, and the total construction will not exceed 5 million.
The comprehensive utilization of resources can protect the environment.
The most expensive is still the road......
After a few days of investigation, Sears gave a road map, a new road from the easternmost part of the ranch, along the edge of the Flower Creek Valley, through three streams to the Bronco Valley, and finally at Stone Canyon. That's 36 kilometers long. According to Sears, there is not much difference between the cost of two million and one million of asphalt roads used by a small number of people.
With the road route determined and the airport location determined, Sears and his party ended their farm tour and returned to New York to make a model of what they wanted. The project was packaged to SOM, and all the work was supervised by Sears, and there was no need for Ye Mu to worry.
Looking back, Montana has been in the middle of a long snow season, and it is the season of recovery. The farming machinery and equipment ordered from John Deere were delivered according to the time stipulated in the contract......
Twelve Landlord tractors, as well as supporting pendant equipment.
The Land Overlord may be smaller than the BigBud 16V-747 agricultural tractor, it is three meters seven meters wide, four meters high, has a wheelbase of four .8 meters, does not count tires, weighs 43 tons, and uses a 16-cylinder giant engine with a minimum power of 720 horsepower and a maximum power of 850 horsepower.
The use of trailer-mounted plough ploughs is specially designed according to the farm land and reaches a width of twenty-five meters. The ploughing plough consists of two parts, one for turning the soil and one for crushing the soil to level the land......
The Land Overlord farming tractor is large, has enough horsepower, and can work, but it is too fuel-intensive. Four hundred and fifty gallons of diesel fuel is enough for 10 hours of full throttling......
In order to ensure uninterrupted work around the clock and facilitate refueling, Ye Mu directly contacted the oil company and drove the tanker truck to the countryside.
It's really a tiger who eats gas, but fortunately, the price of diesel has dropped a lot recently, and the price of a tanker truck is $1.79 per gallon. Even so, twelve oil tigers have to swallow 20,000 pieces of diesel a day.
There are only 22 employees in the production department, and in order to catch up with the schedule, they must work 24 hours a day. Looking at the fresh Ye Mu, he also joined the spring ploughing team......
After lunch, the twelve Landlords were set up with towed plough ploughs and lined up for three hundred meters. With an order, the world's most expensive mass-produced tractor was launched, and the earth trembled with a rumbling sound.
On the farm, except for the employees who had to stay at their posts, they all rushed over to witness this historic moment.
Ye Mu was on the tractor, and there was a technical engineer from John Deere Company sitting next to him, under his guidance, he started slowly, constantly increased the throttle, and had an intelligent navigation function, and the tractor moved in a straight line, running more and more. At the end of the throttle, you can plow more than one acre of land per minute. At a normal rate, one acre of land per minute is fine.
Spring ploughing is the busiest, with a shift system, and a machine works more than 20 hours a day.
These days, when Landlord is on full swing, John Deere personnel are waiting by the machine all the time, recording data, and also in case of a malfunction.
Easily ploughed 90,000 acres of land in 10 days, and the tractor acceptance was completed. It was also time for Ye Mu to fill out the check.
A tractor comes with a trailer compartment and an external suite, each with 1.5 million yuan. The price of the external ploughing plow, the external seeder, and the external roller drum are calculated separately......
That's $19,450,000.
This is only the tractor and the supporting equipment, and there is a new strong deer harvester that has not been delivered.
Filling out the check is painful, but it's worth it. The farms with the new equipment are more elaborate, and if they can reach the standard yield of 1.5 tons of barley per acre, there are 90,000 acres of land, and the investment can be recouped in two or three years. If the production is increased, the relationship is better.
After loosening the soil, the seeds are sown, and the seeds are sown in three days. In other words, the entire spring plowing work took only thirteen days.
