Chapter 60: The Great Change (2)
Then Ji Xin arranged for everyone to keep the original ranch running, and those who did not have enough forage could go to the Great Smoky Mountain Ranch to graze, only in this way could the losses be minimized, anyway, the things on the ground would grow longer after eating, but the pastures on both sides of the line were completely different, as if they had been tested magic, one side was verdant and the other side was yellow, no wonder Simon saw that he was envious.
He also said that if he didn't persevere, he wouldn't sell it anyway, too, the government's laws on ranch sales are getting stricter and stricter, and such a large area of land in his hands is simply a cornucopia, waiting for appreciation, at least to outperform inflation easily. Philip was able to complete the procedures in a short time and accept a large amount of land, and I am afraid that the cost is not small.
However, although Simon looked sad when chatting, he still occasionally couldn't hide a trace of excitement. Ji Xin knew that the price should satisfy him, after all, no matter how big it was, it was impossible for these capitalists to suffer, at most he would be respectful when negotiating.
He first took advantage of George's advantage in contacting his Great Smoky Mountain Ranch, starting with 1,000, and the actual price will now be 4 or 5 times more than there will be many buyers. Of course, these people's land will not increase so much, after all, Simon's land is much smaller, and he faces many difficulties.
Running a ranch and managing a company is a truth, and if you want to sell at a high price, you must first be hard, that is, you can make a profit. In the past, even if the Philip family came forward in this piece of land, there would be many people who prey on it. However, this year, thanks to God's blessing, the yield of forage is generally low, and if you want to get back on track, you have to spend millions of dollars to buy forage first. This level has repelled many people who are not rich in money, but Ji Xin, who understands this, has no worries.
Ji Xin was embarrassed to ask the specific price, first, it was so showy, as if to say that you see I don't even know how much money I bought the land, you are really cheap, which is not conducive to uniting the masses; Second, the transaction process is also considered to be the first, each ranch has different negotiation methods, and the price also fluctuates, if the other party is unwilling to say, it will only increase the embarrassment.
So, Ji Xin, Simon and others, who met in a hurry, drove away separately. Ji Xin is going to another inspection point, and Simon needs to pack his bags and move out of the ranch as soon as possible, strictly speaking, the place where he is standing now has been a private territory since the contract came into effect, and idlers are not allowed to enter.
The inspection process of the remaining three small farms is similar, and the only thing that makes Ji Xin a little interested is that one of the farmers raises a lot of poultry, including chickens, ducks, geese, and cows. After looking at it roughly, there was a familiar smell of the countryside in his ears, which made Ji Xin, who was wandering around, feel like he was in a foreign country.
"It's good here" he nodded, Ji Xin has always felt that his farm is strange to the countryside of his hometown, and now when he sees the lively scene here, he has a flash of inspiration, "I feel strange, it turns out that there is no sound of roosters crowing every morning." ”
"Eh, Ji, if you like it, you can choose some to take away, and Nancy from the province often goes to the supermarket to go shopping, and drags someone to help her push the cart" Thomas walked over, also a little surprised. The staff of the Great Smoky Mountain Ranch are all foodies, and they have a great love for Chinese food.
The new boss is Chinese, keen on food, and a few of his own people can mix every day, but unfortunately the ingredients are troublesome, and now with these, is it called dozing off to the pillow? Thomas would have let go of this opportunity and stepped up.
It is said that these are specially raised in the ranch for those Chinese restaurants in the city, of course, eggs, duck eggs, and goose eggs will also be sold to Chinese supermarkets, and the supermarket where Ji Xin went to buy last time had their supply share.
Lao Mei is not used to eating these things, they prefer to eat turkey, which is the kind that is roasted at Christmas. Ji Xin has tasted it a few times, and he feels that it is quite big, it is chaichai, the taste is very poor, and the cooking method is difficult to wait for the elegance.
"It seems that we used to have a Chinese employee who ate that kind of black egg, which was terrible, and we persuaded him several times to get him to change his ways. It is strange that the livestock raised in the pastures, some of which produce meat and some of which lay eggs, are in short supply every time they are transported to the city. The accompanying rancher looked proud, and even said and gestured, as if he had saved a soul that had fallen into hell.
"He's talking about preserved eggs," Ji Xin thought for a long time before he understood what this black egg was. Is there still such a name in the egg family?
Thomas, who likes eggs the most, also can't stand the loneliness of his compatriots, and he usually asks Nancy's special sugar eggs for breakfast, which is actually half-cooked, and the yolk is still in a gelatinous state. The big mouth is very delicious, and this person is also happy to do it. Therefore, Thomas, who felt embarrassed, explained with a constipated face: "We usually think that animal reproductive organs and eggs are inedible. Nowadays, although the proportion of Chinese has increased and there is more understanding and communication, some special ingredients are still not acceptable. ”
"Understand, there are still people in China who eat ants, cockroaches or something, and I, a local baby, can't stand it" Ji Xin told the truth, because he remembered that there was a Guangdong children's shoe in the class when he was in school, and he asked for some ants climbing trees, snakehead porridge, scorpion banquet and the like before the menu, which made everyone tired, and many girls vomited on the spot.
Ji Xin also endured nausea and ate a few bites, not to mention that the taste was not bad, but the psychological level could not be passed, and it was easy to think about real objects in his head, and the more he ate, the more difficult it would be.
After sending away the subordinates who wanted to be attentive in a few words, Ji Xin and Thomas glanced at each other, both a little helpless. They probably thought that they were buying nearby land because they wanted to develop it, so they were worried about their jobs. The financial crisis in the United States has caused many people to lose their jobs, and the town is already short of employment, and if there is no income, I am afraid that the whole family will go hungry.
This point, even if Ji Xin repeatedly assured that some people still don't believe it, because you look at his rhetoric, as long as everyone is at ease with their own work, the ranch will consider reasonably disposing of employees. Coupled with his absent-minded expression, it is simply a typical sign of dismissal.
Is it any wonder that the straight cowboy feels like a cliché, and when it comes to it, there is no actual statement at all? Of course, Ji Xin also has his own difficulties, he just took over, the big ranch needs more than 20 employees, and there is no need to set up more duplicate positions, so there will definitely be people who will be dismissed, and now he is happy, and it will be more troublesome when the time comes.
"It's finally almost over" Ji Xin sat in the car, looked back at the last small ranch in this line, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Lao Tuo, what should I do next." Shall we go straight to Blackberry Ranch? ”
"Well, forget it" Thomas, who was concentrating on driving, looked at the time, glanced at Ji Xin, who was mixed with water throughout the whole process, and replied in a low voice, "It's not too early, it's too late to get there, just finish the work tomorrow, BlackBerry has a lot to learn." It just so happens that we can learn more about it, and we can't be as careless as we are today."
Ji Xin nodded, knowing that he was not an insider, so he gave power to Thomas. However, the old man is very familiar with traditional ranch work, and some people play tricks to deceive the superiors and subordinates, but the difference between the tourism ranch industry is still not small, and the cost and income sources are very different. Ji Xin's newcomer Thomas, which also indirectly led to a big increase in the old man's workload, so he didn't refute it and acquiesced in the arrangement.
