Chapter 63: The Competition
"The biggest? Isn't the biggest one here? And whether my cattle can be sold or not is related to the quality of my cattle and their wool! Hearing the words of Burke Dahler who came over next to him, Jiang Hai said with an unhappy face.
"Indeed, if you talk about the place, you have the largest private estate in the city, but if you want to sell cattle, you have to ask us if the Colorlight Company agrees." Hearing Jiang Hai's words, the man in his thirties wearing glasses over there walked over with a sneer, and said to Jiang Hai in front of him with an arrogant face.
"Boss, here's the thing......" Seeing that Jiang Hai seemed to be about to conflict with the other party, Robbins on this side immediately came to Jiang Hai's side and said quickly in his ear.
Speaking of the area of the manor, in the entire state of Massachusetts, and even the entire east coast of the United States, Jiang Hai's manor has No. 1, but this Colorlight company is not a place to raise cattle, to be exact, he is a place to sell cattle.
It is a livestock company registered by the United States, headquartered in New York, and is considered a livestock company with greater influence on the United States, but they do not raise cattle, they only collect cattle and sell cattle, which is commonly known as the second dealer.
There are three main ways to sell cattle in the United States, one of which is to sell normally, every year the meat quality testing agency will declare the pasture, conduct two random inspections, after passing the qualification, you can sell it in the market, but the beef sold in this way is basically a whole cattle, it can't be sold at any price, the cost of raising a cow is about 1,500 US dollars, the price of a cow is about 1,000 US dollars, and this adult is calculated by pounds, and a cow is sold for between 3,000 US dollars and 4,000 US dollars, and the profit is not large.
There is a second way, that is, to go out to run the business by yourself, the owner of the manor has his own shipping channels, and after testing, he can directly sell it to some large shopping malls or Western restaurants, which is naturally the most profitable.
But neither Robbins nor Burke-Dahler have such ability, and when it comes to raising cattle, they are very good, but when it comes to sales, they are far behind.
So they chose the third way, to participate in some beef cattle competitions and exhibitions and the like, in the competition or exhibition, if there is a merchant who takes a fancy to it, they will naturally come to inspect it, and then buy the cattle.
However, such large-scale exhibitions are actually rich people's games, and those cattle are basically cattle from major companies, not small farm owners, in other words, in fact, these cattle are also raised from small ranches, but if you want to sell them at a high price and go to an exhibition or something, you need to be attached to the name of a large company.
A small ranch, not to mention whether you can enter this exhibition or a competition, just the money you need to pay to participate in the exhibition and competition is a lot of expenses, so most cowboys and ranchers will choose this path.
As for the cow now, according to the other party, they have to know the quality of the cow here, in fact, it is to give it to them to eat for free, hearing Robbins's words, Jiang Hai's face is even more ugly.
This is somewhat similar to the domestic mechanism, everyone is free-range, and then centralized sales, but at this time, the people who are selling in the United States have become this company, which is actually the second dealer, but the largest second dealer.
Yes, if it succeeds, the price of cattle is indeed higher, but Jiang Hai's ranch has become the other party's beef cattle base, and the shipping channel is completely controlled by the other party.
Robbins couldn't be blamed for that, because they were only so big in the first place, and they didn't think about the idea of exhibiting on their own, firstly, it seemed very expensive to them, and secondly, they didn't think their cattle were any different.
Anyway, the price is about the same, it is better to be directly attached to the name of these companies, which is also trouble-free, although a cow is sacrificed, but compared to the remaining nearly 20,000 cows, a cow is really not a big deal.
But this idea, Jiang Hai will not agree to this idea first, the shipping channel is another matter, the most important thing is that Jiang Hai's cattle are different from ordinary cattle, he is now basically about to improve all the grass in the manor, as long as he waits for this winter, next summer, autumn when it should be slaughtered, the quality of these cattle must be the highest.
He is quite confident in his cattle, at this time, if he doesn't earn the money himself, he has to let others earn a hand? How could he possibly agree! So after hearing what Robbins said, he directly shook off Robbins and came to these people.
"Let the cow go, or I'll call the police." Looking at these staff in front of him, Jiang Hai pointed with his right hand and said with an unhappy face, hearing Jiang Hai's words, the workers here were even more confused, as for Robbins and others, although they were a little puzzled by Jiang Hai's approach, but after all, they were now working under Jiang Hai, so without saying a word, they also stood behind Jiang Hai, that momentum, not angry and arrogant, made the people on the other side even more confused.
"Hey, you guys can think about it, at least you ...... under the name of our company" Seeing the actions of Jiang Hai and others, the man over there couldn't help but walk in front of Jiang Hai, and said with a joking face, in his opinion, Jiang Hai is also a stunned young man, seeing that his cattle are about to be taken away, he is a little reluctant, he doesn't believe that a manor owner can fight against their company.
"Fuck off, our own cow, no matter what, we don't need to be attached to you, what kind of play are you! What a bullshit exhibition, I won't go to it myself, I'm using you! However, before this person's words were finished, Jiang Hai had already waved his hand impatiently, directly interrupted his words, and then said with an unhappy face.
"You, you have to know that it costs money to go to the exhibition, and a booth costs millions of dollars!" Hearing Jiang Hai's words, the people here couldn't help but say loudly, millions of dollars are indeed a lot, plus Jiang Hai is also short of money now, but you can't lose face if you lose anything at this time, right?
"The manor of labor and capital, just bought, 280 million US dollars, do you think one or two million US dollars is a problem?" Looking at the man in front of him playfully, Jiang Hai's words were full of provocation, hearing Jiang Hai's words, the people here couldn't help but take the rest of the words back, indeed, he was also clear about the size and situation of this manor, such a large manor, with grasslands, wineries and fisheries, 280 million, although it was not expensive, it was definitely not cheap.
In other words, the current Jiang Hai is a billionaire with a net worth of more than 100 million, and he is a small staff member, talking about money in front of others, which is indeed a bit exaggerated, and it seems that this guy is not as easy to fool as he imagined.
"Okay, even if you have money, but don't forget, you can go to the exhibition by yourself, but you can't sell it when the time comes, you can't blame others, let's go!" When it comes to money, he must not be able to say Jiang Hai, he knows this very well, after all, the market value of their company is only a billion US dollars, the company and Jiang Hai are fighting hard, Jiang Hai naturally can't fight the company, but why does the company fight hard with Jiang Hai because he is so small? If the company knew that it was at odds with a billionaire, it was estimated that the probability of the company firing itself was much higher than the probability of gaining face.
So now he can only let go of the cruel words, and then he turned around and left, but his cruel words are not just to listen, he does have some methods, and if Jiang Hai wants to participate in the exhibition, it may really be more troublesome.
Because the area that this company is mainly responsible for is the northeast corner of the United States, as far north as Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, and even New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, and even Washington, D.C., more than 80 percent of the businesses in these states are linked to their company.
If the meat quality is in the case of meat, etc., these merchants may not give Green Forest a chance to sell this company a face, and there is nothing bad for them, although the people of the United States only pay attention to interests, but human favors, sometimes there is some effect, of course, if the meat quality of Green Forest is not as good as the normal meat quality, it is not to be compared.
However, Jiang Hai is quite confident in his beef, these guys, just wait to be slapped in the face.
If the quality of their meat is much better than that of this company, those merchants are not stupid, and it is needless to say who to choose.
"Boss!" Seeing these people leaving, Harriman over there took the first step and pulled the cow back into the cowshed, and it could be seen that he was also distressed just now, as for Robbins, he was three points guilty, and seven points anxiously walked to Jiang Hai's side, wanting to say something.
"Needless to say, you have to have some confidence in the cattle you raise, even if you don't have confidence in the cows, you have to have faith in me as a boss, you know? Our cattle must be the best! Waving his hand, interrupting Robbins's words, Jiang Hai said categorically, hearing Jiang Hai's words, Robbins couldn't help but smile a little embarrassed, he really wanted to ask, where did Jiang Hai's self-confidence come from, but he couldn't say this, after all, Jiang Hai is the boss, he has self-confidence, then they have to follow with self-confidence.
"When are they talking about an exhibition?" No longer caring about Robbins's guilt, Jiang Hai turned his head to Burke Dahler and said, he would definitely be reluctant to let Jiang Hai's cattle be sold at the price of adult cattle.
And he has one of the biggest differences from ordinary billionaires, that is, he has no connections, to be exact, he is a nouveau riche, the social circle of the upper class, there is no at all, and after he has money, he also invests in industry, and he does not have the leisure and leisure, going to New York to make friends with those people, intriguing all day long, is not something he is willing to do.
So the second way won't work, then he can only follow these people on the third way, to the exhibition.
