"I can tell you, cowboys are very precious now, it's not easy to find good cowboys, you are lucky, my ranch, I'm afraid it's the only place in the United States that still has a cowboy camp, my cowboys, the level is quite good, if you want to run the ranch well, they will definitely be able to help you." As for me, in the past, the jobs for them were relatively high, and the salary for cowboys was about $1,000 to $1,500 a month, while my cowboys were paid more than $2,000, so they were also very motivated. ”

"Of course, I'm just talking about my situation, if you want to hire them, even if you give them fifteen hundred dollars, they will probably do it, after all, cowboys are not easy to find jobs these days." The old man was a little helpless, he really wanted to fight for more benefits for his cowboys, but to be honest, the use of cowboys is really getting smaller and smaller, with the continuous development of mechanized ranches, the technical talents working in the ranches are more valuable than cowboys.

If Gao Xi is unwilling to pay such a high salary, he can actually understand it.

Gao Xi was also hesitating, if it was really as the old man said, why did he have to pay such a high salary? There has to be a convincing reason for that, right?

Seeing that Gao Xi was hesitating, the old man shouted at a few people over there: "Kent, Clark, Athos, you three come here, our new owner wants to discuss the salary with you, and you will have to work for him in the future, what I say will not count." ”

Gao Xi heard the old man's shout, so he looked to the side, Kent was a middle-aged man wearing a brown cowboy hat, estimated to be in his forties, very tall, estimated to be 1.9 meters old, well-proportioned, and very handsome, feeling very similar to the actor who played Captain America.

Clark is a young man, estimated to be only in his twenties, very burly, about 1.8 meters tall, with ear-length hair, and he is also very handsome.

Athos is estimated to be in his thirties, this Gao Xi is not sure, because this guy is a little chubby, with a big beard, and he is still a bald Wu Ke, at this time the cowboy hat is put around his neck, and he is holding two large pieces of roasted beef in his hand, which is estimated to be a foodie.

The three of them heard the old man's shout, looked at each other, stood up and walked over, but still with bottles, barbecue, and champagne in their hands.

"Kent, you have always been the head of all cowboys, I won't say anything extra, let's get to know the new owner first, he is going to buy my remaining 1,800 cows, and wants to hire a few cowboys, I introduced you to him, are you interested in helping?" The old man said to the cowboy in his hat and beer in his hand.

"Hello, Mr. Kent, Mr. Atos, Mr. Clark! My name is Gossi, and you can call me Si. Gao Xi stood up and gestured to the three of them.

Shaking hands and hugging can't be done, and now the three of them have oil on their hands, so introduce yourself, even if it's a greeting.

"Hello, dear West, such a large ranch, 1,800 cows are really a bit less, if it is temporary, I suggest you hire four cowboys, but we have nearly forty cowboys in this ranch, how many are you going to hire?"

"Forty!" Gao Xi was taken aback, but if you think about it carefully, this ranch turned out to have 20,000 cows, and if there are too few cowboys, it will definitely not be manageable, and forty seems to be really not much.

"Okay Kent, don't be embarrassed, it's the first time he's running a ranch, he's not familiar with anything, it's impossible to hire so many people at once, so let's do it, I'll call the shots, the three of you, plus Tracy and Anastasia, well, it's just the five of you, and the rest of the people should find another job, let's find another job, we can't ask too much of West, it's too embarrassing." The old man saw that Gao Xi was a little embarrassed, so he said: "In addition, your salary in the future will be reduced to 1,500 US dollars, of course, as before, this is simply a salary, not insurance, as for whether Xi will increase your salary for you in the future, that is his business, and I will not interfere." Of course, it's up to you to decide whether you do it or not. ”

After speaking, the old man looked at Gao Xi again and said, "Tracy is an expert in horse breeding, I guess you should also open a horse farm in the future, if she is there, it will be very useful." As for Anastasia, she is an expert in sheep raising, I don't know if you want to raise sheep, but if you are smart, such a large pasture, it is better to raise a few more kinds of livestock, not like me, all cattle, and as a result, the beef price dropped and cried. ”

"Of course I'm fine, but I don't know if a few cowboys are willing?" Of course, Gao Xi will not raise his salary, at least not now, and even if he wants to raise his salary, it will be in the future.

"I'm willing, anyway, even if I search the whole of Montana, the salary of a cowboy is at this level, it's relatively close to home, I have no opinion." Kent said with a sip of his wine.

He was not dissatisfied with the drop in wages, in fact, he was more worried about whether the new owner would want them as cowboys, and whether he would lose his job.

Now that he has kept his job, although his salary has dropped a lot, it is only back to the average, and if he does a good job, he believes that it will rise, which is not a problem, he believes in his ability.

"I'm okay with that." While eating, Athos said honestly, he just likes this kind of working environment, and the salary requirements are not so high, besides, the salary given by people is actually not low, and you have no reason to say anything.

"Me too."

"Tracy and Anastasia don't need to ask, they will definitely agree, those two children love this land so much, when they first heard that I was going to sell the ranch, they ignored me, thinking that I, like many ranchers, wanted to sell the ranch to make a lot of money, and then turn it into a business district or a factory. Now that they know that they will continue to run the ranch, they will definitely jump for joy, hahaha. The old man said with a smile.

As for the dismissal of other cowboys, Gao Xi doesn't want to participate, this is the old man's own business, and he doesn't need to worry about it, in fact, he also wants to have them all, but the problem is that now his ranch has just begun, the area is not small, but the scale is not large, or so many people, those people work every day but they need money, and they don't do it in vain.

After that, the barbecue continued, and Tracy and Anastasia arrived belatedly, although they were dissatisfied with the old man's house, but after hearing that the ranch would continue to be run here, they understood that the old man was just helpless. If there is no one in the family to inherit, if the old man dies, this place will definitely be disposed of at will, rather than that, it is better for the old man to find a reliable person and arrange the ranch properly.

After listening to the old man's explanation, the two cowgirls really happily agreed to follow Gao Xigan, and then Dong Chen drafted a contract, and several people signed the contract in the afterglow of the setting sun, so that Gao Xi's ranch was also on the right track.

At least there are cows and cowboys, and then it depends on how to operate, and the ranch will be bigger step by step.

In terms of machinery, Gao Xi does not have to worry about it, especially tractors, trucks, pickups, etc., the original ranch is very well prepared, although the old man sold some at the beginning, but it was not sold out, mainly to leave something for the new buyers, so that the new ranch can develop more smoothly.

Among the things left by the old man, there are two modified versions of the Ford F150, super horsepower, compared to the F650 that Gao Xi just bought from the car dealership, it is not inferior, this thing has been modified several times, it can be said that it cost the old man a lot of money, Gao Xi is a big bargain.
