Chapter 363: Ju'an's Generous Strokes (2)
Ju An smiled and said: "The big landlord is not a big man, work hard in this direction, you come to see a few pastures I picked this time, and give some suggestions" After speaking, Wang Fan explained.!
Wang Fan listened for a while before he remembered, patted his head and said to Ju An: "Mike has a call, at the beginning of October this year, the vineyard is preparing a new wine launch, and you will be asked to attend it then."
Ju An thought for a moment and said, "New wine press conference? That's early, what's the rush now." After speaking, he continued to look at the new pasture he had chosen.
Wang Fan pointed to Ju An and said with a smile: "Our wine has won the award, and last year's sales were very good, this year's vineyard is ready to produce five kinds of wine at different prices, our vineyard produces 10,000 bottles of high-end wine, and the rest pick some grapes in other vineyards to mix wine, high, medium and low grades are different, and now it is considered a little famous, it is not appropriate to invite a few celebrities to a press conference."
Ju An listened a little big, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Okay, don't popularize this for me, I don't drink this kind of thing when you drink wine, it's useless for you to say it, it's okay if you say it, please let Miles cooperate, this kid has slept with a few female celebrities and female models, and when the time comes, just let this kid sell his hue again, and even save a lot of money on the appearance fee." Ju An joked with a smile.
Wang Fan smiled and said: "Hehe, you are a picker, you want to save this kind of money, anyway, you can go when the time comes." After speaking, he patted Ju An's shoulder.
Ju An nodded, indicating that he would be there on time. And never leave halfway through.
On the morning of the third day, Juan took two or three people from Nien to run in the direction of Redlodge, according to the location that Gillen said, the terrain is good, the traffic is very convenient, and it takes about ten minutes to drive directly to Redlodge, and there is a 140,000-acre ranch of the Rockefeller family nearby, but the land looks green on Google, and the piece I want to see looks like sand. A vast expanse of ashes.
Ji Lun and a few people have already greeted Ju An at the gate of the ranch, Ju An and Ji Lun are also familiar with each other, so everyone avoided some unnecessary greetings, and after a little introduction, Ji Lun took Ju An and drove towards the ranch.
When I first entered the ranch, the ground was still a little green. The further you went inside, the more desolate it became, and the whole pasture was full of small grasses on the east side and a small bush on the west side. It's much worse than when I first took over my own ranch.
Ju An got out of the car and grabbed a handful of soil and rubbed it with his hands, it was very rough, and there were a lot of small stones. Gillen saw Ju An get out of the car and walked down with him, went to Ju An's side, looked at Ju An's hand rubbing the soil, looked at the surrounding environment, and explained to Ju An: "This ranch is just that the irrigation has not kept up, if the irrigation is good, it will be similar to the ranch over there." After speaking, he pointed to the pasture on the other side of the city.
Separated by a city with completely different pastures on both sides, green on one side and yellow on the other, Juan patted the dirt on his hands and said to Gillen, "Take me to see the cowboys' dormitories and fences."
Guillen nodded and made a gesture of please to Ju An, who followed him into the car and continued to drive for half an hour before arriving at the cowboys' quarters. This place also looks much worse than his own ranch, not a newly built house, not even an old dormitory, Ju An walked into a dormitory and took a look, the whole space seemed very crowded. The area is only half of the cowboy dormitory of Ju'an Ranch and slightly larger, and there are still a few cowboys standing at the door who are looking at Ju'an and his party curiously, whispering their heads and chatting about something.
Ju An is not going to ask the cowboys anything, just to make a number of the cowboys' living environment here, not only the cowboys' residences, but also the barn fence and so on. Although Ju An doesn't fully understand the things of herding, after being mixed in the ranch for so long, these things are still clear, except for the cowboys' dormitories, the rest of the things look very good, including two dilapidated Toyota pickups, three half-new and half-used tractors, two trailers and other messy things.
Ju An looked at it for a while and turned to Gillen and said, "Who usually takes care of this ranch, I want to ask him some questions." I don't know how to say how to take care of a ranch like this, but now Ju'an doesn't want to dwell on this, the reason is too complicated, maybe the rancher is unwilling to pay, this is really hard to say.
Gillen said to Juan, "Now the manager of the ranch is Matt." Then he turned his head to Matt and made a gesture, and a middle-aged cowboy dressed as a cowboy walked over to Guillen and said, "What's the matter, Mr. Guillen".
Ji Lun raised his hand at Ju An: "Mr. Ju has some questions for you."
"How is the fence of the ranch, is it kept intact?" asked Ju An, looking at the situation in the cowboy living area of the ranch, Ju An simply didn't even look at the fence.
Cowboy Matt thought for a moment and said, "Most of them are in good condition, some may need minor repairs."
Ju An nodded when he heard this, turned his head to Gillen and said, "Let's discuss the price." After speaking, he gestured to his accountant and Nien
Of course, Gillen was happy to hear this: "Then let's go to the office to talk." After speaking, he smiled and motioned to a few people to a corner of the cowboy dormitory, saying that it was an office that was actually two cowboy dormitories, and a few people led by Ji Lun sat face to face with a few people in Ju'an.
Ju An said to Gillen: "The ranch has no facilities, I accept that most of it will be rebuilt, and the price will be cheaper."
Ji Lun smiled bitterly and said to Ju An: "This price is already very cheap, and the area really can't be compromised here." The old man didn't let go.
Next, Nien and the accountant followed each other to start discussing, the assets of the ranch and a series of other issues, in short, Ju'an's side found fault, and Gillen's side took cover, and after more than half an hour, the old man Gillen's side agreed to reduce the $750,000 slash, anyway, Ju'an just talked about whether there was a win or not, and nodded directly, and the lawyers on both sides began to draft the agreement, and the accountant brought by Ju'an began to calculate the accounts of the ranch.
Leaving the two groups busy, Ju An and Ji Lun walked out of the house, and the old man Ji Lun said to Ju An with a smile: "Do you want to see the ranch below."
Ju An listened and said: "I want to see, if there is a suitable one, I will buy another piece, there are a lot of cattle slaughtered in the pasture this year, and now I can't count on this pasture for the time being, I want to see the pasture with good pasture."
Gillen thought for a moment and said: "Then let's look at the ranch in Missouri, the conditions are very good, more than a little better than the rest, and now the economic downturn is really an opportunity to buy ranch on a large scale, and at the previous price, this ranch can't be bought without 50 million dollars."
Ju An nodded: "That's okay!" Tomorrow we'll go straight to Missouri to see the ranch." The two chatted again, and then walked into the house, Ju An said to the accountant and took out the pay slip, looked at the salary of the cowboys, and followed the average salary of about 1,000 US dollars a month.
Ju An turned over the salary structure of the ranch, except for the Matt cowboy's salary of more than 4,000 dollars, the rest of the cowboys were about the same, which was reasonable.
Stayed at the table and followed Gillen for a long time, how many children there are, children studying or working are boring topics, waiting for the accountant to settle the accounts, and the two lawyers carefully looked at the contract one by one, this matter can not be sloppy.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the lawyers went through the contract, followed by Ju An and signed the name, as soon as this one fell, the brush was drawn twice in ghost-like English, and the ranch changed its surname.
After signing, Guillen took Ju An to the cowboys' dormitory, Matt gathered the cowboys, met with Ju An, the new boss, and shook hands with the cowboys one by one, now there are only more than twenty cowboys left, looking at Ju An as a rancher curiously.
Ju An said to the cowboys: "I am the new rancher, my name is An, Ju, you call me An, the salary or something is temporarily according to the original standard, this year's task is mainly to repair the fence, and the cowboys' dormitory to be rebuilt, in addition, the irrigation of the ranch will be started, next year I will see a pasture with a first-class irrigation system."
As soon as Ju'an's words fell, the cowboys laughed happily, the new boss did not mention layoffs, but updated a lot of facilities, fully irrigated pastures, that is, everyone's work in the future will be a little easier, can you not be happy.
After Ju An finished speaking, he turned his head to Matt and said, "I won't stay in the ranch for a long time, the ranch is still managed by you for the time being, and I am going to find someone to build a new dormitory."
Matt thought for a moment and said, "I know, I'll go find someone to calculate the new dormitory on the ranch in the afternoon, and send you an email when the time comes."
"That's it, if the ranch is not manpowered, we won't recruit this year, and when the cattle arrive next year, I'll find a company to design a new irrigation system when I go back, and then dig a big lake of five or six acres in the center of the ranch."
"Don't worry, boss! I'll take the cowboys to fix the broken fence first," Matt nodded after listening to Juan's words.
"It's good to call me An, I'm a little unaccustomed to calling me BOSS" Ju An thought about it and always felt that there was something to say, frowning and thinking for a few minutes before remembering: "Sell me those two Toyota pickups, I don't like it!" In two days, I'll have someone bring a couple of pickup trucks and mountain bikes or something." almost let the little devil get mixed up in the buddy ranch, but he was finally thought of by Ju An and curbed this cancer.
After arranging these things, Ju An and Ji Lun left the ranch with the two groups of people in a car and went to Redlodge for lunch.
