Chapter 317: Buying a Farm
Early the next morning, Ye Nan got up early, and ordered Tian Twenty to take the two girls to go shopping in New Orleans, and he and Guan Yi rushed over according to the farm address provided by Rick.
The farm that Rick recommended to him was less than an hour away from New Orleans, and the farmer urgently needed to sell it because of poor management and a long time in a loss-making state, but from the information given by Rick, the farm as a whole should be quite good.
The two stopped a taxi at random on the side of the road, and after explaining the address, the driver repeatedly confirmed that there was nothing wrong, and then started the accelerator. As soon as the driver saw that they were both foreigners, he knew that Ye Nan was going to buy a farm, and kindly recommended some popular local ingredients to Ye Nan.
The more I talked with the driver, the more they got along, the driver grew up on the farm, and it was only when he came out to work as a taxi driver for financial reasons. Ye Nan asked him some questions about the ingredients with great interest, but he didn't expect the driver to be able to answer them fluently.
And there are some opinions mixed in with it. Immediately, Ye Nan had the idea of recruiting this driver into the farm, and in order to hide his identity, he only brought two girls and Guan Yi to New Orleans this time.
Even Xiao Hei stayed in Southeast Asia because he was too big and too conspicuous. In addition, the exchange system and the slave trading system are no longer available, so the only way to build a farm is to recruit cowboys from the local area.
The two were having a good conversation, and when they looked up, they realized that the hour's journey was over. Ye Nan handed the driver a large bill, and then said, "I wonder if Mr. Jim is interested in helping me refer to this farm, is it worth buying?" ”
Jim was stunned. From the previous conversation, Ye Nan could see that he was a person who liked the life of a cowboy. Jim showed a hint of joy on his face, patted his chest and promised, "Ye, I promise to help you find the shortcomings of this farm." So that you can buy it at a low price......"
The farmer was a white man in his forties, with a suit that was hot and straight, and his leather shoes were shiny even on the farm. Ye Nan walked over and stretched out his right hand, "I was introduced by Rick, and I want to see if your farm talisman does not meet my purchase wishes." ”
"Our farm has been established for decades now, and we have signed long-term supply agreements with local supermarkets and restaurants. You don't have to worry about sales at all. In addition, there are all kinds of farming machines on the farm, and as long as you buy them, you can put them into production immediately. ”
Ye Nan didn't believe much in the farmer's rhetoric. If he really said it so well, then how could there be a state of loss. So he said to the farmer, "Next, my housekeeper will talk to you, and I will see the actual situation of the farm." ”
The farms in country M are not like those in China, where the land is flat. It is fully mechanized. There are supporting machines from sowing to harvesting, so usually only a few people can be cultivated on hundreds of acres of land.
This farm covers an area of more than 400 acres, with convenient water supply and 50% new cultivation machinery. There were also groups of domestic animals on the farm, and to Ye Nan's surprise, there were actually more than a dozen horses.
As soon as he saw these Ma Jim, he couldn't walk, and his eyes kept looking at the horse, and when he saw this, Ye Nan didn't know what he thought. He smiled and said, "If you want to ride, go ride for a while." Ye Nan is used to the horses on the farm, let alone these ordinary horses.
Wait until Jim rides around the farm on his horse. Returning to Ye Nan's face, he said with some unfinished words: "Ye, my overall feeling of this farm is good, the total value should be about three million M yuan, but now the ingredients are sluggish, and the machine is only fifty percent new, it should be more than two million yuan." ”
"If I buy this farm, are you interested in helping me?" Ye Nan thought for a while and said.
Jim showed a hint of hesitation on his face, "Ye, although I like life on the farm, I still have a son who is studying. And I have to pay a lot of rent every month, as well as living expenses, and the cowboy job alone can't guarantee my life. ”
For Ye Nan now, as long as it can be done with money, it is not a matter. The selection of high-end ingredients in the Americas is only about 8 months away, and what Ye Nan lacks most now is a cowboy who is familiar with the farm, and Jim is undoubtedly a talent in this area.
Ye Nan patted Jim on the shoulder and said, "I'll give you a salary of 1,000M yuan per week, and another 1,000M yuan at the end of the month." It's just that you usually have to stay on the farm for me, after all, I don't know the place here, and I always need a familiar person to take care of me at all times. ”
Jim stared at Ye Nan's eyes for a long time, feeling that he was not joking with himself. You must know that the average cowboy's weekly salary is only six or seven hundred M yuan, and there are dozens of people competing for this job.
He saw the desire in Ye Nan's eyes, and only then did a smile appear on his face, "Boss, then I will follow you in the future." ”
"As long as you do a good job on the farm, there will be a bonus every six months." Hearing this, Jim's face was even more joyful.
At this time, Guan Yi and the farmer had already negotiated, and the price was 30% lower than the price offered by the farmer at the beginning, and the total cost of machinery and livestock was more than 2.8 million M yuan. This price is not expensive, after Ye Nan signed his name, Guan Yi went to transfer money with the farmer.
Jim went home to pack his belongings, and Ye Nan gave him a task to recruit some skilled cowboys. According to the size of the farm, at least thirty cowboys are needed, and the salary of these cowboys is a little lower than Jim's, with a salary of 800M yuan per week, which can definitely recruit a lot of good players.
After everyone left, Ye Nan turned on the system and said, "Build the farmer's hut, stables, livestock sheds, and ponds." ”
"It will cost a total of 1.9 billion M yuan, are you sure?"
Ye Nan didn't think about it and said, "Sure"
I saw that the integrated farm area began to shake, and the corner of the farm suddenly recessed, and the area became larger and larger. Then a clear spring came out of it, and in less than ten minutes it filled the pit, and a pond several acres in size appeared.
The place where the cattle were kept was also turned upside down, with a light flashing on the dilapidated barn, and then the barn rapidly grew in size at a speed visible to the naked eye. In addition, the barn is divided into zones, and different animals are automatically assigned to different zones.
While Ye Nan was looking at the livestock shed, a three-story house appeared next to the pond. The house looks quaint and has an estimated area of about 600 square meters, and there is a wooden plank hut behind the hut with a small sign hanging on the house that reads "Training room." ”
The change in the farm ended in less than half an hour, Ye Nan lit a cigarette with satisfaction, took a deep breath, and muttered to himself: "This is where the Youran Group rises again." ”
When the sun was about to set in the afternoon, Tian Twenty came to the farm with the two girls who had returned with a full load. At this time, the two women bought a bunch of things in large bags and piled them up like a small mountain.
The temperature in New Orleans is quite good at this time, the temperature has been stable at more than ten degrees above zero, and the sun shines, giving people a warm feeling, the two women changed out of thick down jackets and put on beautiful windbreakers.
Zhou Yunxi looked at the farm with satisfaction and asked, "Will we start a farm here in the future?" Ye Nan said with a smile: "The money has been paid, and when people are recruited in a few days, the farm can be opened." (To be continued......)
