Chapter 041: Boss Heart
As the car drove closer and closer to the small house, Lu Xiancheng was more and more surprised, in front of the barn there was a simple pony pasture with stakes and wires, and in each small pasture there was a mare with a foal leisurely nibbling on the grass, and the colt was following his mother, or bouncing on the grass to entertain himself, or rolling on the grass with a super big leather ball.
In Lu Xiancheng's original plan, there was no money to build a separate pony farm, but he just asked these American cowboys to take care of their breeding horses and ponies.
When the car arrived at the door of the house, a bigger surprise awaited him, there was a simple hippodrome not far from the other end of the house, although there was no great sand and foundation or anything like that, but this hippodrome seemed to be no big problem for its own use, except for this thing, some simple and easy facilities were all made up by these cowboys who used the little money they gave.
Seeing such a situation, Lu Xiancheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he originally felt that the workers of his ranch were well trained, who knew that it was really much worse than these old cowboys, and a lot of ranch knowledge could not be taught by a year of cramming, nor could it be done by inexperienced novices. It takes a long time of ranch work like these cowboys to understand the real purpose of the various facilities on the ranch and sort out the real and correct development sequence.
βBOSS!β Seeing the car stopped, the cowboy who was originally busy in the shed was still looking in the direction where the car came, and when he saw Lu Xiancheng get out of the car, the current manager of the ranch, that is, the temporary cowboy leader Matt, walked over to Lu Xiancheng and said hello loudly.
It turned out that the two cowboys who were with old Matt were stunned for a moment. Then he also raised his hand to say hello to his boss, Lu Xiancheng didn't know that these old beautiful cowboys who were blind to Asian faces didn't recognize their own bosses at once.
"Hey! Hello everyone! Lu Xiancheng waved his hand as if he was inspecting the three fats, but he didn't have the skillful psoas momentum of others.
Waiting for Matt to walk in, he opened his mouth and praised: "It's much better than I imagined!" βγ
Originally, Lu Xiancheng thought that these cowboys would do what they said well, where could he think that when people were fine, they would exert their subjective initiative, and these stakes knew at a glance that these people made them themselves, and there was nothing to talk about at all. There are three wires pulled up and down between the two wooden stakes, not to mention the different thicknesses, and from time to time you can see the joints of the thickness entangled.
To be honest, Lu Xiancheng didn't think about doing this when he was the poorest, but these old cowboys thought of it, not only did they think of it as a group of part-time workers, but they also gave Lu Xiancheng free of charge.
"There are only a dozen or so horses, and it's really easy for the four of us to take care of them, and there are nearly half of these dozen or so ponies," Matt was very happy when he heard Lu Xiancheng's praise, and couldn't help grinning, and said while laughing.
Matt and the other four are very satisfied with their current work. And the four of them are not young, the eldest is almost fifty years old like Matt, and the youngest is thirty-eight or nineteen years old.
Because none of them went to college or worked in other jobs, they worked on a ranch from their first job, and several of them did not dream of owning a ranch or farm of their own, but now it is always cruel, and small farms in the United States cannot resist big risks. When the market fluctuates slightly, the first thing to bear the brunt of is small farms, small pastures. So within a few years, several people became part-time workers one after another.
The 'rural' life in the United States is good, but this kind of good is for ranchers and ranchers, and does not include these cowboys who work on ranches, and the lives of these working cowboys are not much different from those of migrant workers in China, and there is not much protection at all.
Plus the current economic downturn. It's quite difficult to find a job, and now that the four of them have seen a 'long-term' meal ticket in their lives, they naturally want to give full play to their 'subjective' initiative, not every American can be as arrogant as the Americans in Hollywood blockbusters and say to the boss: It's time to get off work, and I'm going home for dinner!
Sometimes it's just Hollywood-style American propaganda.
Talking to Matt for a while. Lu Xiancheng remembered the secretary and the township chief next to him, introduced the two of them, and then took them into the house.
As soon as Matt entered the house, he first arranged the accommodation of the three of them, a simple small single room, the same as the cowboy who works here, but Lu Xiancheng, as the boss, has a larger room and a small office room, even if it is so, it is only less than thirty square meters.
Chen Xia and the two sat in the car for a few hours, because the two of them couldn't understand English at all, and went back to the room to lie down for a while after a few sentences, while Lu Xiancheng and Matt looked at the account books of the past few months.
The account book, Lu Xiancheng turned it over and felt that it was almost done, as for the detailed audit, it was naturally audited by the company's accountants, if Matt, these old cowboys, had the ability to deceive the company's accountants, and Lu Xiancheng could only pinch his nose and admit it.
Seeing the staff of the ranch here working so hard, Boss Lu, who didn't think about this year's 'big work' here in the United States, felt a little embarrassed.
"Although the investment in the ranch here today is not very large, a million dollars are still squeezed out!" Lu Xiancheng said to Matt: "I hope that the first is to spread the grass as much as possible, and the second is to make simple facilities, after all, the barbed wire is not very good, first get some simple wooden fences."
Matt said he had a million dollars this year and immediately said happily, "That's great!" We can hire two more people, and we can also rent small planes to sow ......".
One million dollars made Matt immediately croaking endlessly, and Lu Xiancheng knew that such a thought had been recalled in the old cowboy's mind as soon as he heard it, so that the old man could speak so smoothly so suddenly.
The cowboys who worked as a part-time job were so enthusiastic, and Lu Xiancheng couldn't interrupt, so he had to listen to Matt talk about his own arrangements with a smile, and at the same time took out a cigar from his pocket and gave Matt one for himself, and the two lit it face to face.
Matt watched Lu Xiancheng listen very seriously. While listening, he nodded from time to time, thinking that he would be more happy to be recognized.
Poor Matt doesn't know that sometimes the boss looks like he's listening to you seriously, but he doesn't listen at all, and his brain doesn't know where to go. Just like Lu Xiancheng now, Matt didn't even listen to what he said. All I want to do now is look at the foals over here.
Listening to Matt's nagging for another five minutes, Lu Xiancheng felt that he had shown a good 'recognition attitude' towards employees, which is conducive to improving the enthusiasm of employees, and felt that the boss attached great importance to his own views and respected them, in fact, Mao! Boss: Most of the time, the spring breeze fills the donkey's earsβββ which ears go in and those ears come out.
"Alright, give me the whole written thing you want to say, and I'll take a look!" This sentence is what Lu Xiancheng wants to express most after listening to the speech for more than ten minutes.
When Matt heard his boss say this, he immediately nodded and said happily, "Okay." I'll be able to get the rough stuff on your desk tomorrow morning."
Now the first ten minutes of 'listening' effect will be there, if Lu Xiancheng interrupted Matt at the beginning, the old Matt would definitely think that the boss didn't pay attention to the plan, or even didn't pay attention to himself as a person, but now you look at Matt, it's like a big bear has taken out the ****, and his eyes are almost out of laughter.
Lu Xiancheng nodded and expressed his satisfaction with Matt's work at this stage: "Let's go, go see my foals."
One mentioned the foal. Matt's smile widened: "Boss, a lot of our foals seem to be great at the moment. Someone asked for a price last time! Autumn with the number 3 someone out of 900,000! βγ
As soon as Matt mentioned the name of the horse, he had a feeling of wanting to die, and he didn't know how his boss came up with such a strange name, the autumn number 3? This is still divided into four seasons with the number 3? However, this is not without benefits, that is, you don't have to think about the name when you register with the Jockey Club, and no one will use such a stupid name in the first place!
"He thinks beautifully!" Lu Xiancheng smiled and said, "The son of the saddle craftsman's well." Only $600,000? βγ
A weak silver crown of 600,000? Not to mention 600,000, 6 million is not in Lu Xiancheng's consideration.
"Ahem! Cough! Matt couldn't help but shut up when he heard his boss say this, but he thought in his heart: Your mare has average results, and it is reliable for people to pay 600,000 yuan.
Lu Xiancheng didn't care what kind of level of nearly 20 breeding horses he had in the eyes of others. Now Lu Xiancheng can be happy every time he looks at his stable.
Take the American side as an example, eleven ponies, one dark silver crown, two silver crowns, and the rest of the foals are all good-looking, most of the level is almost able to mix into the Open, mixed in the last two years to win a GIII. level championship should not be a problem, if you are lucky, if you encounter a group of rookies, it is not impossible to get one or two more.
For breeding, Lu Xiancheng has a hanging to open, and it can be seen that the hereditary strong genes of the stallion are theoretically strong in the two genetics of the stallion and the breeding horse, and it is easy to pass on this good gene.
But in practice, it is not so perfect, just like not every horse is excellent in the Northland, and sometimes the two positive ones are also positive and negative.
Although Lao Lu's side is more sure of breeding than ordinary people, luck still depends on whether God gives it or not, and this time God is very face-saving. The United States and Japan combined with a million dollars in breeding fees were not given in vain, not only did they not give in vain, but they also made a lot of money.
"I've seen the fish head tofu a few times, but no one has made a bid yet," Matt added.
Lu Xiancheng thought about it for a while and knew which one the fish head tofu flower was, this pony did not wear a crown, but it was an extremely beautiful pony, the whole thing looked like the kind of eye-catching, sometimes not only handsome people are easy to mix, but also handsome horses.
"Don't take it away without a million" Lu Xiancheng shrugged his shoulders, although he didn't wear a crown, but his bloodline added the word 'handsome', no million old Lu felt sorry for its current appearance!
In fact, Lao Lu really wants to let his own auction of Tathsos immediately, but the British are too dark, 100,000 for 5,000, and 1 million for 50,000? The black Lu Xiancheng felt distressed when he thought of this, which made Lao Lu very reluctant.
But now the problem is that sometimes this oil and water is not allowed to be smoked, and if you want to participate, you dislike that people have a big tap, but fortunately, there is plenty of time, and these ponies still have more than a year to go until they are two years old, which means that Lao Lu still has at least a year to think slowly.
In Lao Lu's heart, he thought that one day, with the high productivity of his stable, every horse could be sold for a high price, instead of letting people draw oil and water from it.
The price of one million made Matt a little dumbfounded, for this price Matt is not afraid that someone will really come out, or that sentence, although the status of the stallion is not top-notch, but as a stallion is also first-class, but the mother of the fish head tofu flower is really not very powerful.
