Chapter 07: Hansen's Troubles
Wei Da is very busy now, and it is too luxurious for him to hire a private lawyer now, and it is not necessary now, after all, there are not too many things on his side that need to be handled by a lawyer. After carefully searching for a more reliable law firm, Weida's reputation gradually became a bit during this time, and Weida was definitely a worthy partner for the ranchers of Abiline, who needed the technology provided by Weida.
Wei Da is also studying more magical techniques in the "Shennong Sutra", although now he is gradually opening up some situations, but Wei Da is not satisfied with just a little bit of feed dabbling in the guy, his vision is very far-sighted, now what he needs is to make himself stronger, he needs to master more technology. Now Wei Da is also relatively happy, because he is constantly learning, and now he also knows more knowledge and technology.
Drove to Abiline, which was made with Old John, although it was nearly a four-hour drive, but Wei Da would not have any dissatisfaction at all, because now he was busy with his 'career', and the people at work were painful and happy, Wei Da was like this now, although he may be very tired and busy, but only this kind of effort can get more rewards, for these Wei Da is well known.
"This damn weather!" Daben has no air conditioning, this car is a big steamer to a large extent, and the more than four-hour drive also made Wei reach the countryside of Josh, wiping a handful of sweat, Wei Da muttered and cursed this ghost weather, the summer in Texas is really difficult, it is too hot.
"Welcome, man!" Josh smiled and bumped his chest with Weida's American pie, he was very happy during this time, he recognized Weida as a very good 'nutritionist', he had no reason to be unhappy when he saw the thriving cattle in the pasture, and many ranchers have been relatively difficult to operate in recent years, especially small ranchers like him, life is not easy, but now he is very confident, because Weida can help him build a better nutrition system for livestock. "You're early, it's half an hour earlier than we agreed."
"Well, I'm here for a cold beer, and of course to take a shower. This ghost weather, of course, is also because this road is very difficult to walk, and I am really uncomfortable. "Weida is not polite to Josh, Americans have a sense of time, but they are also very rigid many times, and the agreement is what time it is, which makes people very helpless; It's not good to be late, but it's better to arrive early.
"Looks like you're in a good mood, Mary." Weida smiled and made a veneer ceremony with Josh's wife, Mary, during this time he and Josh's family were also more familiar, after all, they had also come a few times; In general, the Josh family is still relatively American, very cheerful, and of course sometimes very enthusiastic.
"Man, hurry up to the bathroom and take a shower, maybe you should listen to my opinion, change your car, I can give you a lot of advice." Mary laughed and teased Weida, she also knew that Weida's broken car had no air conditioning; The windows were all open all the way, and Wei Da naturally looked a little embarrassed now.
"No problem, I'll change the car after completing this cooperation!" Wei Da didn't have much money in his hand, so naturally he had no choice but to continue to use this broken car; Wei Da is not a miser, if this cooperation is reached, Wei Da's purse is bulging, of course he will treat himself well, and it will not be a problem to change to a good car.
Although they learned something on the phone, after taking a shower and drinking a cold beer, Weida and Josh were also chatting; The focus is naturally on the big rancher Hansen, Wei Da still attaches great importance to this cooperation, if an agreement is reached, he will be completely well-off. It's not even just about changing a car, Wei Da can also consider changing a house, after all, the house he rents now is relatively shabby.
Hansen's ranch, like many large ranches in Texas, is basically dominated by beef cattle and sheep, considering that the climate in central Texas is relatively arid and hot, generally speaking, Brahmin cattle and Boer goats are more heat-tolerant and more miscellaneous and good free-range livestock.
Although Hansen did not specifically raise his own trouble with Josh, the general situation on Abiline's side is almost the same, basically the weather is too hot now, and the cattle and sheep refuse to eat, which also makes these livestock ranchers more worried, which is their main source of income, at this time, if the cattle and sheep refuse to eat and grow fat, they will lose a lot at that time.
The general situation Wei Da is well known, now slightly improve the feed structure of livestock Wei Da pressure is not very large, now Wei Da is still very confident, as long as he can give him the opportunity to play, he can seize the opportunity.
"Hansen is here, guys." Weida and Josh also unconsciously changed the subject, they talked about cowboys, talked about riding, and of course Weida's role at this time was to listen attentively. And at this time Mary came in, and also told Weida that they were coming.
"Wei, it's a pleasure to meet you, I've heard a lot about you these days. I'm Hansen, Hansen. Roberts. "Hansen is a middle-aged black man with five big and three thick, and he opens his hands enthusiastically like a huge black bear, but Wei Da is also very enthusiastic and hits Hansen's chest, meeting for the first time is one thing, but there can be no difference in etiquette; For this Hansen, Wei Da feels good, this is the gold master, Wei Da feels good.
"Man, nice to meet you. I'm Wei Da, and I know Wei may be more obvious to you. Wei Da laughed and joked, under the greeting of his master Josh, Wei Da and the three of them also entered the house, and the weather outside was too hot.
There weren't too many politeness, Hansen was here to ask for help this time, and after a brief chat, Wei Da also knew about some of the troubles Hansen was encountering now; Hansen's pasture is not only because the cattle and sheep have a poor appetite right now, but also because the current pasture is basically difficult to grow in such weather.
Wei Da nodded, although he was more spread by the rancher during this time in the improvement of feed, but Wei Da also took the initiative to promote himself; In fact, he also has some ability in improving pasture, but the current ranchers are not willing to give Weida more opportunities. This is also something that cannot be helped, many times the most important resource of a pasture is pasture, if there is no pasture, then the pasture will lose its value.
Wei Da counted in his heart, Hansen was really cornered now, although he had a certain irrigation system, but it was really difficult for the grass to grow in such hot weather; And buying forage is too expensive, his pasture has tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, if he relies on buying forage at this time, then he will definitely declare bankruptcy soon.
"Hansen, it takes some time to improve the pasture, and I don't think it's going to have an immediate effect." Wei Da's words made Han Sen's last bit of hope disappear, although he also knew that some of his previous hopes were more extravagant hopes, but now Wei Da also said the answer he didn't want to hear, which really made him feel a little broken.
"Okay, Wei, I'll admit I'm naïve, I know that it takes time to improve the pasture, but unfortunately I don't have enough time now, I think what I need now is to sell the pasture so that I may not go bankrupt." The wry-smiling Hansen had despair in his eyes, and now the price of forage is rising, and it is really difficult for him to continue to support it.
"Maybe I can give you a little help, you know, I'm a good nutritionist, I know the most reasonable diet for cattle and sheep. Man, trust me, I can help you with things like reduce some expensive pasture but keep the cattle and sheep growing, which will save you some money and help you get through this. "Improving the forage is something that Hansen can't wait for, so it's better to change the feed.
Hansen was silent for a long time, he really didn't want to sell the ranch, but he didn't have much confidence in the current ranch; I don't know how long the drought will last, and if he can't save hay now, he will really collapse soon.
"Wei, I'm willing to trust your abilities, but I really can't provide too much forage, and the price of forage is constantly rising," Hansen said with some pain.
"Hansen, if you will believe me, I can give you a guarantee. It doesn't matter if the grass is of low quality, Boer goats and Brahmin cattle can be raised extensively. We can adjust the structure of the feed, introduce the expenditure on pasture, choose straw, corn and so on, I think these can reduce your stress. In the United States, the price of corn is not very high, and Weida's words also gave Hansen some hope, because if Weida's words are true, then he believes that he will be able to get through the current difficulties.
