Chapter 622: A basin of cold water
When I arrived at the door of the office, I stopped the helicopter, Ju An swayed and pushed open the door of the office with small square steps, stretched out my head to see that there was no one inside, walked to the conference table and pulled a chair, just thought about calling Thomas, and touched my pants pocket, okay! I didn't bring my mobile phone, but fortunately this is the ranch office, and my boss also has a desk, and when I opened the door of the office that I had seen once, Ju An directly touched the phone and Thomas dialed it up, telling the old man that he was already in the office.
After hanging up the phone, Ju An quickly slipped out, although someone often cleaned, the room that no one had stayed in for more than a year seemed to have a smell, making him feel very uncomfortable, it was better to honestly pull a chair and sit next to the conference table.
Thomas and Lawrence returned to the ranch office after almost half an hour, and as soon as they entered the door, they hung their cowboy hats on the shelves in the house, turned their heads to Juan and smiled and said, "We thought you would come here at nine o'clock, but we didn't expect to come so early, just now Lawrence and I went to see the cows."
"I came here early if I didn't have anything to do," Ju An said with a smile on the table, and then thought of his office and said to the two old men: "There is a smell in my office, I haven't squatted once in the past few years, I should be in another room."
Lawrence pulled up a chair and sat next to Ju An, and Thomas ran to the coffee machine, and each of them got a cup of coffee and brought it over.
Ju An took the coffee cup, a little hot, and directly scratched the small tray below with his fingers, looked at Thomas and the two old men smiled and asked, "Are you ready to repair the fence again?" Was the fence over there knocked out or something? ”。
Lawrence shook his head: "Now that the ranch fence has been completely replaced, the fence will not need to be maintained for at least ten years." Unless it's a person who hits it directly with a pickup. This time it's a Norman thing. His breed of cattle can basically start raising on a small scale, and we are discussing whether to add another pasture or transfer the cattle to Hans's ranch first, and let him tell you when Norman comes."
"Didn't you say that you have to wait a year or two to observe," Ju An muttered softly as he listened to Lawrence's words, what kind of moth are these people making trouble.
Thomas sat down, smiled at Juan and said, "Then let's talk about the ranch first?" ”。 Looking at Ju An and nodded, the old man continued: "Now the cattle in the ranch are close to full capacity, and there are almost three gray cattle on average in one acre of land, so I discussed it with Lawrence. With the current density, the cattle can migrate a little bit and give the pasture a period of recovery."
Ju An heard the old man say this, and after a little calculation, he said to the two old men: "Now the cattle in the pasture are close to more than 200,000 heads?" So many? ”。 After speaking, he looked at the two old men and blinked his eyes.
The two old men said with a smile: "Of course not, there are only a little more than 20,000 gray cows, and the rest are white cows, there are too many heifers in recent years, and the cows born every year are almost half of all calves, even if they press half, the gray cows can occupy the pasture in less than five years." Then we will slaughter the little grey cow, and then we will experience the pain of happiness."
Lawrence smiled wryly at Juan at this time and asked, "What happened to Leonard's research on this pasture?" If it can be expanded. We can expand the pasture a little more, or the slaughter of the heifer is really distressing, don't rush him, just let him study the grass here within five years."
Ju An listened to the painful expression on his face: "Now it's a unique soil and a unique climate, and it can't be anywhere else anyway, Leonard will have to drive himself crazy if he studies it again, and you don't look at it like this, the price can only be stabilized if the quantity is less, and the slaughter of heifers is also a last resort." But I thought in my heart, it's not that Leonard can't study it, it's that his buddy didn't let him study it, if this can be planted anywhere, then how can other ranches live, buy a piece of wasteland by yourself, and it will be overgrown with space grass around your hands, and the gray cow can still reproduce in almost a year, at this rate, it won't take twenty years, and the American supermarket beef is all Xishuihe brand!
Don't say whether people will suspect it, your posture is ready to toss other people's ranches to death, controlling the beef market in the United States sounds like a trend, not to mention controlling all of it, that is, controlling half of it, the White House will be worried all day long, you stop supply, half of Americans have no beef to eat, and the president can be woken up by you in his dreams at night!
It is estimated that before you can control it, an anti-monopoly law will pull you in, and when the time comes, the bloody giants will directly tie a napkin around their necks and wave the fork in their hands and keep the hara, you see which industry in the United States is controlled by a family now! Gone are the days when the consortia took the lead in forming a communist group within the conglomerate, where everyone exchanged shares with each other and were able to tolerate the Rothschilds.
That's how it is now, direct high-end market, no more, no less, the price is very expensive, and the profit is extremely high, so why risk breaking your bones to touch the high-voltage line. Isn't it good to collect money from your head?
While the three of them were talking, Norman walked in, saw that Juan and Thomas and Lawrence were already chatting, said hello and took a cup and sat down, and then began to complain to Ju An: "Thomas and Lawrence are going to move my beef cattle away, I just calculated the approximate income here, and the two said that there is no place for this kind of cattle in the pasture, and the meat quality is not very good, and the profit is too low."
Ju An listened to the two old men and laughed, and thought to himself, I said why did the two old men follow him as soon as they sat down and said that the pasture was saturated, it turned out that they wanted Norman's big beef cattle to leave.
Lawrence smiled and said to Norman: "With the pasture of Xishui River Ranch, there is no advantage in raising your beef cattle at all, this quality of beef cattle must adapt to ordinary pasture, even Wu Song and Teddy Ranch facilities are a bit luxurious, the sooner you move away, the sooner you will find out the problem of your beef cattle, we are also considering your project."
"I know that Thomas and you don't look down on my beef cattle, but he is much more important than the gray cattle, if the breeding is successful, the pasture under the same conditions, with our big beef cattle, the profit is about ten percent more than the ordinary cattle raised in most pastures now," Norman said to the three of them.
Thomas smiled and asked, "Can we have one-third of the profit of the current white bull?" ”。 This sentence stunned Norman, thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'd better move." After speaking, he stretched out his hands to Ju An, looking helpless.
When Ju An heard this, the profit from raising beef cattle was only about 10% more in the end, and he suddenly had no interest, so this is more? Buddy has always been known as a good boss who is loved by employees, your 10% estimate is just enough to raise the wages of the ranch cowboys at that time, and the relationship has been busy for a year, only the boss of the buddy has been working blindly for a year, and the hard work has been the same as other small ranchers! Just looking at it as a big industry, millions of dollars, I don't have much cash to spend, is this still unreasonable?
Scratching his head, he sighed at Norman and Thomas and said, "Originally, I was going to open my own ranch and raise beef cattle by myself, and your profit of about ten percent was poured directly on my head like a basin of cold water!" ”。 This Ju'an is telling the truth, the profit is a little higher, about 20% more than other cattle profits, Ju'an can do it himself, the United States is a little more expensive, then you can go to Australia, it's really not good, Canada is not bad, such a big place has a population of only more than 30 million, what a waste, this 10% or so will come out as soon as the chicken flies and the eggs are beaten.
Norman said to Ju'an: "Even if it is not raised on his own ranch, selling cattle breeds is a lot of income, so I am here to find you today, I am buying a small ranch, not more, three thousand acres is enough, and then irrigation should be guaranteed as a breeding and breeding base for biological research companies in the future, it is estimated that it will be difficult to find a piece of land in Xishuihe Ranch in the future."
It's easy to do! It's only three thousand acres, Ju An nodded: "Okay, you pay attention to where there is land to sell, if the price is right, tell me."
As if playing a trick, Norman took out a few pieces of paper from his pocket and handed them to Ju An: "I've seen a few pieces of paper in the past two days."
Ju An took the paper sent by Norman, turned it over, a total of two or three plots of land, one of which is more than 3,000 acres, the other is nearly 4,000 acres, and one is too small, only more than 2,000 acres, and the price is not much different, the house on the top of more than 2,000 acres is better, it seems that it is used for vacation, Ju An pointed to the largest piece and asked, "Where is this land?" ”。
"It's a minute's drive north of town, and a twenty-minute drive from Biotech," Norman said, looking up at Ju An, pointing.
"What do you think of this land?" Ju An looked at Norman and asked, I don't know anything else, this Montana land price Ju An knows that it is not far from ten, and there is nothing out of the ordinary to buy it, and it is not a profit or a loss.
Norman nodded and said, "I look good, I prefer this one."
"That's him" Ju An stretched out his hand and flicked it on the paper to settle the matter, it was less than four thousand acres, it was not worth Ju An's own leg to see, Norman and they thought it was good, anyway, it was not Ju An who wanted to use it in the future, but the biological company used it himself.
"If there's anything else to do, I'll go back if it's okay" Ju An turned his head around and swept the faces of the three people, and then made an excuse for himself: "I only came back last night, and now I'm going to go back and rest."
Lawrence and Thomas both shook their heads and said, "We don't have anything left here."
Instead, Norman continued to say to Juan: "I have another matter here! ”。 (To be continued.) )
