"At Sun River Ranch, our pasture is top-notch, and of course at Lake Wabe!"
Burke, who was riding on horseback, proudly walked forward to Qin Yi, who came to inspect, showing the development of the ranch for more than half a year.
Qin Yi looked at the flat and endless grassland in front of him, smiled and nodded.
The last time I came to Lake Wobe was in the early autumn of last year, not long after the improvement of the pastures, although the growth was also very lush, but it always gave people a sense of novelty that lacked foundation.
Now, a few months have passed, and the appearance of the entire pasture has not changed much, but time has hidden the traces of the original repair of the irrigation system, and the dark green pasture grass spreads all over the ground, which looks more calm and steady.
It's a little warmer than Montana, but it's also very limited, and after harvesting, only more than ten centimeters of ryegrass remains, and the growth is already extremely slow, but compared to other withered yellow grasses, the ryegrass with only a little yellow tip is still very satisfying.
When spring comes in February and March, compared with the re-germination of withered yellow pastures, Wobei Lake will have the advantage of half a month or even a month, which brings a reduction in cost and a shortening of the slaughter cycle of beef cattle.
Tax reduction incentives for new high-quality beef cattle and pasture, tax rebates for agriculture and animal husbandry, tax reductions for charity and animal protection, coupled with ultra-low costs, it is simply unreasonable not to make money!
Qin Yi jumped off the horse a little complacently, bent down and tossed the grass a few times, and then held the binoculars and patrolled the pasture into the distance, while saying to Burke: "Rui Qi'er is pregnant, why don't you go back to see?" How can you be such a brother! ”
Unlike the Sun River Ranch, which is close to the mountains and undulating terrain, and is located on the plains of the Wabe Lake Ranch, the whole pasture is flat, and the rye grass that looks extremely flat after harvesting is like a regular wheat field, swaying its leaves in the breeze and extending to the distance.
This gave Qin Yi a feeling of his hometown wheat field. Of course, it's a little more spectacular without the dense villages!
"Oh my God! Didn't I go back for Christmas and New Year's Day? But you all have to wait until I get back to Lake Wobe before you tell me to say goodbye, and you know that the New Year is changing, and work is very busy! ”
Burke spread his hands innocently, and complained somewhat speechlessly.
"Haha, we didn't mean to trick you, we really didn't know until the festival passed!"
Looking at his face that pretended to be bitter but was actually happy, Qin Yi laughed. Turning over again, he grabbed the horse's belly between his legs, and galloped off into the distance, "All right, hurry up, Burke, I'm going to see my calves!" ”
Burke laughed and followed, emphasizing that "no, it's not a calf now." It's a bull and a heifer! ”
After a gallop, more than ten minutes later, I came to a pasture near a stream, where there was a herd of hundreds of calves, grazing leisurely.
The cowboys kept driving. Unhurriedly, keep the herd moving slowly, so that these foodies don't gnaw on the grass roots, and now the grass grows very slowly. It is only suitable for light grazing, and the workload is more than that of the season when the grass is abundant and lush.
But no cowboy would complain about that. In the past year, the salary plus bonuses, the income of ordinary cowboys also exceeded 100,000 US dollars, which is not inferior to the average middle class, and the bottom management (responsible for a herd and leading a few cowboys) has to add another one to two percent!
Such a generous salary, idiots will complain, you know, but there are a lot of people waiting to take their jobs!
So they will only work harder so that the ranch does not lay off itself.
In the words of the cowboys: those damned speculators, just honestly look at my seat and covet it!
After a brief hello to the cowboys, Qin Yi, accompanied by Burke, wandered around the herd a few times to check the growth of the herd.
The calves are also not afraid of people, they leisurely flick their tails, move their own steps, and from time to time lower their heads to bite a bite of grass, and lazily chew slowly.
Even some calves, when Qin Yi stroked his head, they turned their heads slightly, sniffed Qin Yi's palms with their noses, their big black eyes, so clean that there was no trace of variegation, and their cute and pure eyes made Qin Yi feel good.
The calf is only seven or eight months old, but in terms of body shape, it is similar to a beef cattle with a growth period of nine months to a year, and it is no problem to slaughter it even now, but the meat quality is generally the best at the age of nine months, so Qin Yi means that it will be slaughtered at the beginning of spring.
The beef produced by Qin's animal husbandry naturally has to be the best!
In the evening, Qin Yi took Burke and Cooper Jr., gathered some of the cowboys who were on vacation, and had a lively barbecue party, and the next day he set off again and flew to Oregon to inspect Teddy's Ranch and another newly bought ranch.
In fact, every quarter, Qin Yi will receive the work report of the manager, so he knows the status of each ranch, including pasture, beef cattle growth, operation status and other information, but it is also necessary to inspect!
You can't just say what the people below are, you have to see for yourself what the facts are!
Qin Yi likes to be a shopkeeper, but he doesn't want to be the boss who is overlooked, so the purpose of this trip, on the one hand, is to understand the actual operation of the following industries, and on the other hand, to meet the cowboys and employees, so that everyone can remember who is the one who gives them preferential treatment!
In fact, the trip was quite successful, achieving both of these goals.
Incidentally, several specialty stores around the three ranches were raided, especially the Portland branch in the capital city of Oregon, and sales were declining, which is really unreasonable for wines whose market potential has not yet been exhausted!
Qin Yi stayed in Portland for two days, and combined with the opinions of the clerk and old customers, he finally figured out the reason.
It turns out that with the development of Qin's liquor, the company's energy and connections are getting bigger and bigger, and Megan, the young and powerful manager of the Portland branch, is becoming more and more arrogant when dealing with small and medium-sized customers.
As a result, sales at the Portland branch fell slightly.
After figuring out the situation, Qin Yi fired Megan on the spot, and called Daniel to reprimand him, as a company manager, this guy will always receive relevant complaints no matter how busy he is, and he didn't deal with this matter in time!
It seems that too much power has been delegated to the subordinates, and because of this, Qin Yi has the idea of forming a business intelligence department within the group.
If there had been strict supervision before, these guys would definitely not dare to slack off!
Daniel, who was severely criticized by Qin Yi, looked at the phone that was hung up, but he was a little depressed.
When he received the complaint before, he didn't deal with it, but he only had jurisdiction over the store managers, but he didn't have the right to appoint and dismiss, so he just reprimanded him at the time, but he didn't expect that the idiot store manager would not change his life, and he also led to a decline in performance, and now he is even more scolded by the boss
Cursing a few words to the damn store manager, Daniel asked his assistant to find the original list of complaining customers and call one by one to apologize.
In any case, you have to pull the customer back first, otherwise the boss who is angry will let himself cry after class!
But after reprimanding Daniel, Qin Yi also lost his anger, understanding that Daniel is actually very reliable, but sometimes he is a little gentle and his methods are not strict enough.
This further confirmed his idea of setting up a business intelligence department, and when the time comes, he can also detect and deal with any troubles below.
Putting this dismissal on the official website can be regarded as a warning to everyone, after that, Qin Yi wanted to go to Texas to check his last ranch, but received a call from Kroenke.
This old brother wanted to send his two thoroughbred horses to Sun Hippodrome, and Qin Yi's previous request for him had also become an eyebrow in a few days, so Qin Yi had to postpone his trip to Texas for a few days. (To be continued.) )
