Chapter 05: Fifty Thousand Dollars of Feed
Although it can only be regarded as a fledgling, Weida can also ensure that Josh's cattle do not have any diseases; This is more reassuring, once there is an epidemic this may be a headache, although Wei Da knows that he may have the ability to solve those epidemics now, but he also needs to consider that he may encounter great challenges in the process.
Accumulating more experience is the most important thing for Weida to do now, and if there is no epidemic, then it is really important for Weida to solve some other small troubles. There is no epidemic, it's just that these cattle have a bad appetite now, and what Weida needs now is to let these cattle let go of their appetite.
"Josh, can you show me your hay?" Brahmin cattle have a very coarse appetite, and the coarse food that is difficult for ordinary cattle to eat is also something that Brahmin cattle can eat.
Weida looked at the forage that Josh had given, and it was all coarse forage; Basically, some hay as well as corn stalks, wheat stalks, straws, grain grasses, bean stalks, etc., and husks and the like. Although it is all some coarse forage, it is relatively not too much of a problem, these are the usual food of Brahmin cows, which is no problem at all, and it is impossible for an experienced old cowboy like Old Josh to make too many mistakes.
It is obviously inappropriate to ask Josh to give the cattle ** fine food, after all, it will increase the cost of breeding, which is also more contrary to the diet of Brahmin cattle. So now Wei Da is also quickly searching for some information in his mind, although there is no record of Brahmin cattle in the "Shennong Sutra", but many times a know-it-all, as long as you master the absolute ability, then you can also think of a solution.
"Josh, I can leave you a copy of the ingredients, it won't increase your farming costs, but what you need is a slight change to your feed ratio, trust me, it's going to be fine. I can start with no charge, maybe in two or three days you can see results. Wei Da didn't care, after all, he hasn't proven himself more now, so now he also needs to maintain some patience at this time, or put a long line to catch big fish.
Josh took the ingredients written by Weida, basically the raw materials did not change much, but there were some changes in the proportion of the ingredients; To be honest, Josh didn't think there was anything special about Weida's ingredient, you must know that he was an experienced old herdsman, and his experience was rich enough.
However, seeing that his cattle are reluctant to eat forage, once he misses the moment when the cow grows fat, it is a huge loss for Josh; Although he was skeptical, he still took the ingredients left by Wei Da, anyway, there was nothing to invest in, and it didn't seem to be risky, so it was okay to give it a try.
"I'll leave you with the phone, this is just our first treatment, and I'm sure you'll trust me even more when you see the results." Wei Da also left some back-ups, and the heart of defense is indispensable, Wei Da doesn't want his credit to be directly wiped out, he plans to rely on such a skill to make money.
Leaving the feed, coupled with some small changes in the details of breeding, Wei Da was still satisfied and ready to leave; For Wei Da, the first action is very good, it is very smooth, what he needs now is to wait patiently, when Josh's side has results, then Wei Da naturally does not need to worry about customers, and now there is no need to look for opportunities everywhere.
Wei Da, who returned to Dallas, continued to study his schoolwork, and it was also at this time that he studied the "Shennong Sutra" more seriously; While researching beef cattle, Weida is now also focusing on forage, and becoming a veterinarian is very promising, but if he can breed high-quality forage, it will give Weida more opportunities. In such a large ranch, once Weida can improve the pasture, then Weida also believes that his customers will be endless.
"Wei, there is a Ranger competition today, let's go over together!" As soon as he came out of the library, Weida met a good friend.
"Hey, Kevin, I'm not a baseball fan." Weida shrugged his shoulders, the most popular in the United States are baseball and football, and of course horse racing; Although basketball is also a popular sport, its popularity in the United States still lags behind baseball and football; As for the NBA, that's when their global commercialization is really successful, and that's not excluding regional reasons.
"It's a shame that maybe you'll need to keep watching the Dallas Mavericks and not know when they'll get their first championship in franchise history." Kevin shrugged his shoulders regretfully, he was not a basketball fan, and Weida was a basketball fan and Kevin knew.
Wei Da has lived a very fulfilling life these days, in fact, his coursework is very easy, the credits have already been completed, and now it is the thesis; Now Wei Da is constantly absorbing some other knowledge, although the "Shennong Sutra" is very magical, but to consider that this is the United States, some species are still a little different, Wei Da naturally needs to consider more differences at this time. Wei Da is very satisfied with his current life, constantly enriching his knowledge, and Wei Da also believes that he is getting closer and closer to success.
"Hi, Wei!" Wei Da was busy cooking, when the phone rang; A day earlier than Weida expected, Josh showed enough enthusiasm on the phone.
"Josh, how's the ranch going?" Wei Da still has confidence in his heart, and received a call from Josh, which shows that his first attempt has a very good effect, and Josh's call also proves that Wei Da has now successfully attracted the first customer.
"Thanks for the ingredients, man, you're truly amazing!" Although he is an experienced old herder, Josh still feels that the magical Chinese are really powerful, only slightly changed the ratio of feed ingredients, the original appetite of the cattle is now a lot better, to see these cattle appetite is very good, Josh is of course very happy.
"Josh, I think you're trusting me now. Perhaps we can consider a new phase that will make your farm more successful. But man, my ingredients aren't cheap. "It's not a starting price, Weida is worth the money, and he believes that Josh will definitely be able to make the right choice at this time.
"Alright, man, you've won, I need the feed ratio in your hand now." Of course, Josh was extremely looking forward to the feed ratio in Weida's hands, but he knew that he would definitely not be able to get this extremely exciting and magical feed without paying some price.
"Josh, this is the right choice. You must know that the feed in my hand has a special role, and I will do some careful research on your herd to ensure that your herd receives the most correct nutritional supplements. It's genuine, and my feed is optimized for specificity. Although Weida is not worried about Josh taking out the feed ratio in his hand, because Weida has already prepared, this will be a feed ratio made according to the situation of the herd, which is useful for Josh's herd, but it does not mean that other cattle can use it.
This trip to Abilene made Weida's mood even happier, because the first time it was just to try, and now Weida's customers have come to the door, which also proves that Weida is getting closer and closer to success.
"Hongchen is ridiculous, infatuation is the most boring, love and hate are written off, I just want to be happy with wine and songs until I am old!" Wei Da was in a very happy mood and sang this free and easy atmosphere of "Laughing Hongchen", people are in good spirits when they are happy, and now Wei Da has encountered a happy event.
$50,000 is definitely a lot of money, and Weida will now make a 'scientific' and systematic feed plan for the cattle on Josh's farm. 50,000 US dollars, converted into RMB is more than 300,000; In the U.S., a Big Mac hamburger costs less than three dollars, while ticket prices in the NBA range from a few dollars to a few hundred dollars depending on location; The BMW X3 is priced at almost $40,000.
Wei Da has no reason to be dissatisfied with the current income, of course he will not consider buying a car when he gets this money, he must send it back to his parents first when he gets this money; The family owes a lot of money, and with this money, he can basically pay off all the money owed by the family, but when the family does not owe money, plus Wei Da can also earn money now, Wei Da has no reason not to believe that the conditions in his family will get better and better, and he has no reason not to believe that he can let his parents live a good life!
