Chapter 130: An Opportunity for Expansion
As the other protagonist of this competition, Shi Lei has naturally received a lot of attention, and many friends who also like fitness and fighting have cast curious eyes on Shi Lei.
These friends usually have a lot of contact with Lincoln and Tony, especially with Tony. 8♀,.2□3wx. In their minds, Tony, a martial idiot, is definitely a big master, and they didn't expect that Shi Lei, a guy who doesn't look very strong, can defeat Tony lightly.
Although they had more or less come into contact with Shi Lei at the party organized by Lincoln, they knew that Lincoln attached great importance to this mysterious young man from Huaxia, but in their hearts, they only worried about Lincoln's feelings and dealt with it twice, and did not really accept this young man with different skin colors.
But with Tony's matter this time, it's different, Shi Lei's fighting ability gives them recognition of Shi Lei from their hearts, after all, he is a strong person in the aspect they are interested in.
The education these people have received since childhood has made them more aware of the principle of respecting the strong, and they will not despise the strong in any way.
Shi Lei obviously felt this change in his true attitude, and there was no reason to reject people, so he also enthusiastically discussed some topics with these guys that had a common language, such as fitness.
However, Shi Lei didn't say too much to them, after all, it was Tony who said that he had failed before, and Shi Lei, as the winning party, should not be too high-profile at this time, otherwise it will only appear that he is complacent, which is annoying and annoying.
Therefore, Shi Lei quickly went to the other side and went to find Alexander and Curry and their gang.
Looking at Alexander's body type, you can know that this thing is definitely not a person who likes fitness and exercise. originally inherited his father's standard husband's figure, and the food since he was a child was so good, and he didn't like to exercise, so it would be surprising if he didn't grow into his current size.
But this guy is arguing himself that he also likes sports. For example, he likes to watch WWE very much, and there are paid subscriptions to RAW, all kinds of ambulance battles, iron cage battles and the like.
There is no doubt that what he ushered in was not recognition, but a middle finger raised by everyone, and all kinds of boos.
However, the face of this product is as thick as it is on the surface, and his thoughts have always been different from others, although everyone booed, this product still enjoyed everyone's applause. You're not Lao Guo, why do you have a willing expression.
Seeing Shi Lei coming, Alexander changed the topic and began to urge Shi Lei to expand the population of dairy cows.
Speaking of which, the development of the dairy company run by Shi Lei and Alexander together is also beyond Shi Lei's expectations.
At first, it was just a joke idea, Shi Lei just planned to solve the idea of excess milk production in the pasture first, and tentatively opened such a company with Alexander.
Although Shi Lei was already very confident in the cows he had transformed, he didn't expect to underestimate their power.
Milk from pastures. Not only does it combine the advantages of camel milk, goat's milk and other dairy products, but it also has an incomparable and unique flavor that can be recognized by most people. It is also a signature taste that clearly distinguishes it from various other dairy products.
At the same time, Shi Lei also underestimated the huge influence of Alexander's father, the veteran three-Michelin-starred chef Vanta, in the food circle.
Vantaa itself has worked in some of the world's best restaurants. Later, he became the owner of many star-rated restaurants, and still maintains a good relationship with many top restaurants.
Vantaa is also a mentor to chefs of many of today's most famous Michelin-starred restaurants, and he is an authoritative food critic in his own right. He is basically one of the regular judges of the top international food competitions, and he is also the editor-in-chief of a very influential food magazine.
Under such multiple identities, his influence in the food circle has also reached the point where no one else is like him, and he is an absolute top figure.
With this double guarantee, this cooperation between Shi Lei and Alexander can definitely be regarded as a strong alliance.
The quality of the dairy products is excellent, the channels for promotion are so smooth, and Alexander provides just the right amount of customized services to meet a variety of unique requirements, and it is not difficult to understand that the current situation of supply exceeds demand.
In the face of Alexander's request that he could say that he was dead-faced, Shi Lei had no tricks, and he definitely had to agree to continue to expand the number of cows when he went back, which was also beneficial to himself anyway.
Seeing that Shi Lei finally succumbed to his obscenity, Alexander changed the topic very proudly.
While relieving Shi Lei that he didn't have to endure the verbosity of this goods, it also allowed Shi Lei to get a piece of information that he felt was very important.
Next summer, there will be an international food fair in New York, and Shi Lei feels that this is a good opportunity to promote and promote the various things produced by his stone ranch.
At present, the milk and mutton produced by the stone pasture can be said to have been affirmed.
The sales performance of dairy products is there, and it will always be in a state of short supply, or in the case of repeated price increases.
The mutton produced in the ranch has not been sold out, but has been treated as his own specialty by Shi Lei and used to give it to his neighbors and friends.
It's like when I was in China, I have something good, and I want to give it to my relatives and friends around me. There are not many things, but it expresses a kind of friendship, which shows that I haven't forgotten you, and I think of you for all good things.
And Shi Lei's approach is indeed very effective, so the friends around him have a very high evaluation of him, and it is also one of the important reasons why when he mentions a project, many friends will immediately express their support.
And the mutton from the ranch has also been unanimously affirmed by all the people who have eaten it, and it is definitely the best that surpasses the top products.
For these two things, Shi Lei is definitely not worried at all.
On the contrary, in the production of the ranch, Shi Lei's most high-hopes for beef, Shi Lei has not eaten it himself yet, so there is no way to talk about the understanding of beef quality.
Although there are many facts that have supported Shi Lei's ability to optimize and transform, after all, what has not been tested by the market is still not so confident.
And this international food exhibition is undoubtedly a very suitable platform, which is suitable for Shi Lei to promote his own things.
It's just that before that, Shi Lei still needs to solve a few problems.
First of all, you have to try the taste of the beef from the farm. Shi Lei himself must taste it first, and it is best to let the testing agency issue an authoritative certificate of quality appraisal, and then let the guys around him, who have eaten top ingredients, help judge the quality of the beef, after all, how it feels in the mouth is the most intuitive criterion.
Secondly, the current production of Stone Ranch is still too monotonous, and the things that can really be marketed on a large scale are beef and milk, and the actual production is still very limited.
And the mutton that Shi Lei also had expectations for could not meet the scale requirements of the market at all, and could only satisfy the appetite of himself and his friends, and the output was too low.
As for the chickens, ducks, geese and pigs that Shi Lei has been raising for a short time, they haven't tasted it yet, and they haven't met the requirements for slaughtering.
Therefore, whether it is sheep, pigs, chickens, ducks and geese, all have to expand the scale, at least to reach a certain amount of stock, can continue to supply the market.
Moreover, the output must be raised before the food fair. Because, Shi Lei has confidence in his own things.
In Shi Lei's mind, this New York Food Expo is already an opportunity for Stone Ranch to take off, and we must seize this opportunity to play the brand of Stone Ranch, so that Stone Ranch has become synonymous with top ingredients, and it is a hit. The worst thing is to make people accept and recognize the products of Stone Ranch.
After getting this news, Shi Lei's mind was not on the party at all, and he reluctantly accompanied Alexander and they chatted for a while, and as soon as the party ended, Shi Lei ran towards the ranch a little impatiently.
Although Shi Lei is eager to increase the livestock stock in the pasture, there is still no fixed number of how much it will increase, and how much of each type will come.
In addition to pondering by himself, Shi Lei also had to call Hanks to discuss it together.
After all, the increase in the number of stocks is not something that can be achieved overnight, but must be considered comprehensively.
For example, the cowboys on the ranch can support the grazing of livestock, whether the facilities such as the ranch corral are enough, and even the number of dogs in the ranch must be considered.
These are all related to how many livestock can be accommodated in the pasture, so as not to affect the normal grazing and other work.
Stone Ranch has basically been used as a leisure ranch in the past, at least Shi Lei's previous owners have managed the ranch with such a purpose, and have not operated and used it as a pure ranch, so the facilities of the ranch may not be complete enough.
And the number and proportion of various animals, Shi Lei is not very clear how to match, because their inventory and slaughter rate are not the same, so specific things, you also have to ask Hanks, a professional.
With excitement and a lot of questions, Shi Lei hurried back to the ranch.
As soon as he returned to the ranch, Shi Lei couldn't wait to call Hanks over. Shi Lei told Hanks about his idea, and Hanks immediately expressed strong support.
After all, as the head of the ranch, an old cowboy, Hanks also hopes that the ranch can be developed into a large-scale breeding ranch.
At least it is in line with its identity as a large ranch of 10,000 acres, and not to become a purely unproductive leisure resort farm in Hanks's opinion, which is a waste of stone ranch. (To be continued......)
