Chapter 308 Beef Cattle Breeding
After the headquarters of Xiantao Company was officially put into work, it was indeed of great help to the company's operation. Not only is the usual mode of operation more formal, but also very helpful for market expansion.
In just over a week, several large hotels in Shencheng and Hangzhou have become new customers of the company. Of course, the biggest contributor to this is Zheng Ting, the manager of the sales department. It was all thanks to her leading the team to Shencheng and Hangzhou to negotiate with each other that she developed these new customers.
Although for the company, a few more customers have little impact on the overall development situation. But Zheng Ting's results show her ability and conscientious and responsible work attitude, and Li Yuan is very satisfied.
During this time, a big event also happened in the farmstead. Wang Qiaoyang told Li Yuan that the raised river eels were ready for marketing.
For Li Yuan, this is of course good news, which means that he has another way to make money. Before that, Li Yuan had thought about the sales channels of river eels, and the large river eels were sold to the domestic market, and the Chinese people preferred the large ones. Smaller moray eels are more popular in the Japanese market and can fetch a higher price than large eels.
The sales of river eels in the domestic market were directly handed over by Li Yuan to Zheng Ting. Although this beautiful girl is not highly educated, she is serious and responsible in her work. Li Yuan is still very satisfied with Zheng Ting, the sales supervisor, and he is also very relieved to hand over this task to her.
As for the sale of eels in the Japanese market, of course, it will be handed over to Baoling Co., Ltd. At Li Yuan's strong request, the other party will still let Sato and Sakurako be in charge of this matter.
After tasting the sample eel sent by Li Yuan, Baoling Co., Ltd. praised the taste of the eel. Keiji Takahashi personally assured Li Yuan that as long as all the eels are of this quality, Xiantao brand eels will definitely become the top brand of eels in Japan. Not only do you not have to worry about sales, but you can also sell at a high price.
Of course, Li Yuan is not worried about this. These eels are all cultivated with gold beads, and the taste is definitely not bad, and they will definitely be very popular, he just has to wait and count the money.
However, for Li Yuan, who has great ambitions, the eel listed on the market is just the icing on the cake in terms of income, and it is far from his ideal state.
The last time he went to Japan, Li Yuan also saw the high price and popularity of high-quality Wagyu beef. Now that the company's headquarters is taking shape, he is also starting to think about raising high-quality beef cattle.
If you want to raise high-quality beef cattle, you must first have good breeding cattle. When he was in Japan, Li Yuan asked Sato to help and asked if he could import a few Japanese Wagyu beef. Unfortunately, local cattle farmers attach great importance to the breed of Wagyu cattle, and no one is willing to sell their breeding cattle, so Li Yuan can only dispel this idea.
In addition to Japanese Wagyu, Australia also produces several excellent beef cattle. Since there is no way to introduce Japanese Wagyu, Li Yuan plans to try his luck in Australia.
Now there are many employees in the headquarters of Xiantao Company, and Li Yuan does not have to book air tickets by himself, as long as he talks to the employees of the administrative department, someone will do these things for him.
A few days later, Li Yuan's flight landed at Sydney International Airport, setting foot on this vast land for the first time.
Before leaving, Li Yuan inquired that Australia's pastures are basically concentrated in inland areas. So after getting off the plane in Sydney, he rented a car there and began his journey to the Australian outback in search of excellent breeding cattle.
The destination of Li Yuan's trip was a pasture called "River Valley". The farm is dominated by high-quality beef cattle, which is exactly what he wants.
After leaving Sydney and driving into the Australian outback, Li Yuan really understood the meaning of the word "vast". In the vast wilderness, a highway stretches straight ahead, and in many cases there is only Li Yuan's car. On either side of the highway are endless plains, and you can see the occasional large tree or two standing on the dry land, but nothing else can be seen.
However, on some sections, you can see long fences with livestock sheds and granaries and other structures. Some cattle and sheep roam the pastures, grazing on the few hays on the ground.
Li Yuan knew that it was the dry season right now, so the land seemed a little desolate. If you come here during the rainy season, the land will be lush and full of life.
The River Valley Ranch is more than 600 kilometres from Sydney. If it is in the Jiangnan area, which has a high population density, there are already several large cities within this distance. However, in the vast and sparsely populated Australian outback, Li Yuan didn't even see a small town along the way. Except that the field is still a field, the difference is that some areas have some trees and some areas only pasture.
Li Yuan drove on the road for five hours, and just when he was about to doze off, he finally saw a sign on the side of the road, which said in English: River Valley Pasture is fifty kilometers ahead.
"I'll go, this place is really big!" Seeing this sign, Li Yuan couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
Fortunately, this sign somewhat lifted Li Yuan's spirits and gave him the motivation to persevere, so he didn't fall asleep before arriving at the river valley pasture. When the car finally drove outside the gate of the river valley ranch, Li Yuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It is said that it is the gate of the pasture in the river valley, but in fact it is just two wooden pillars and a beam. On the beam hangs the skull of a cow, and on a wooden post is written crookedly in English: Pastures in the River Valley.
Although the gate of the ranch looks a little dilapidated, in Li Yuan's eyes, this is the beginning of his animal husbandry career. He parked the car outside the gate, got down and moved his muscles and muttered to himself, "I hope I can buy some good breeding cattle here!" ”
Don't look at the gate of the ranch is completely unguarded, even if you drive in directly, it doesn't matter, but Li Yuan doesn't dare to mess around.
Although firearms are very strictly regulated in Australia these days, almost all ranchers will have one or two shotguns. Li Yuanhe didn't want to rush in, and then be killed by the other party as a thief or robber, which would be too unjust.
So Li Yuan obediently stopped outside the ranch and dialed the rancher, Mark Webb.
"Mr. Webb? I'm Li Yuan from China. Li Yuan politely said to Weber: "I have already arrived outside the ranch, may I ask ......?"
Before Li Yuan finished speaking, Weber had already said enthusiastically: "Mr. Li, you have already arrived, then drive in directly." Just drive along that dirt road, and I'm giving the horseshoe to the horse, so I won't come out to meet you. ”
Since everyone said so, Li Yuan was not polite, and drove straight into the ranch. Then he understood why Webb didn't bother to come out to pick him up. (To be continued.) )
