Chapter 71: White and Tender Howe
Weida became a big celebrity in the Abilene region, especially the cattle and sheep brokers, and now they are trying to get in touch with Weida; Because this is a big business, as long as this business is done, it is natural that you can make a lot of money.
Weida was very demanding, and the healthy, pedigree-proven Angus calves were two thousand heads; Although Wei Da is still picky about these calves, he doesn't need to care about the cattle economy, they just need to know that as long as they get these cows, it will be a lot of money. A calf is about 1,000 dollars, 2,000 cows, which is a lot of money, especially because Weida requires high-quality calves, which also represents a higher price.
Anyway, now that there is some output in the pasture one after another, of course Wei Da doesn't need to care, anyway, he is not bad for money now; This is the investment, buy more cattle now and come back, and you can guarantee to earn more dollars in the future.
"Wei, now some cows have calves!" Old Simon excitedly beckoned from afar and shouted loudly, it takes a year for ordinary Angus cattle to be fully mature, while Weida's cattle are basically mature in about eight months, which greatly reduces the production cycle, which also means that the ranch can ensure more benefits.
"Man, that's great news. But to make the cowboys work harder, the pregnant cows need to be taken care of, and the genes of these calves should be good, which is my dollars. "Weida jumped off the horse, which is really good news, the development of the ranch is really getting better and better.
"I think the lads are confident now, and you have a lot of bonuses!" Simon Sr. laughed, and Weida offered three percent of the profit as a bonus.
This is really a lot of money, the cowboys are more or less mentally numerous, the cattle are basically the second and third grades, plus the meat sheep, the ranch can have an income of five or six million dollars in just half a year; Aside from the cost, there is still a profit of about four million. That is to say, the cowboys' bonuses will be more than 100,000 yuan in total, although this is the total bonus of more than a dozen cowboys, but each person can almost have nearly 10,000 US dollars in bonus dividends; That's really a lot of numbers, and even the average cowboy's salary is nearly half a year's worth.
Wei Da is still very happy, although he has made a lot of money, but the cowboys who follow him are also very hard, getting up early and greedy for night, and doing manual work a lot of time in the pasture; Although Weida's weekly salary does not disadvantage the cowboys, these are basically cowboys who earn the lowest level of salary, and their lives are not easy many times.
"It's a lot of money, but I'm sure it's just the beginning. Man, we will have more cattle and sheep, our pasture will be better, and I believe that the quality of the next batch of cattle will reach new heights. "Wei Da is still looking forward to it, although he can be regarded as relatively rich; But no one will be afraid of having a lot of money, especially now that Wei Da still has a lot of things to do, of course he needs to make more money.
When I returned to the door, I saw the dark horse prince and the bull demon king having fun; Wei Da also laughed, these guys are not small now, but they are still a little too naughty.
The Prince of Dark Horse has always eaten the best pasture, and although he is now a one-year-old horse, his shoulder height is almost one meter; As for the Bull Demon Kings, the shoulder height is almost one meter enough, and these huge guys now even have more than two hundred catties. But these guys are all children, and they are still crazy all day long, and they still seem to be in early childhood, not adolescence.
Weida had originally intended to let the Prince of Dark Horse slowly get used to the saddle and the like, but the little guy seemed to dislike things on his back; Seeing that the Prince of Dark Horse looked very uncomfortable after getting into the saddle, Wei Da gave up, and it would be better to wait for the Prince of Dark Horse to grow up a little more, anyway, the one-year-old horse is still a little smaller, and the two- or three-year-old horse is more suitable to ride.
As for the Bull Demon Kings, they don't like to be with the herd at all now, and their good companion is the Prince of Dark Horses; Even in the past few days, Wei Da has discovered a little, and these two guys, who are still a little wild, still want to run to the mountains to play.
"Master." Little York jumped out of his sister's car, this little guy finally knew that he was called 'Master' instead of 'Lion Tiger'; these days he has also been running more diligently to Wei Da's side, although he has only taught some relatively superficial moves, but little York still seems to be very satisfied, and he is also very hardworking.
"Go and practice boxing and show me." Wei Da patted Little York's head, Little York doesn't come over every day, but every three or five days he will come over to show off his practice results and so on.
"I told my dad about your Prince of Dark Horses, and he's always laughing at your horse, it's not a good horse." Seeing the big head of the Prince of Dark Horse in Weida's arms and constantly rubbing and coquettish, Angela laughed; The Prince of Dark Pony is very smart, but this little guy really isn't an excellent riding horse.
"The old cowboys are like that, the young people who can't endure hardship are not good people, and the young people who can't run a ranch are basically hippies. They prefer rugged beards, but they also like cowboys who can harness horses and drive cattle. I look like a bad guy to them, I know that, so do my horses. Wei Dahaha laughed, old Fox, old Simon, these old cowboys are like that, they will see people according to their own requirements and habits, especially in the West like Texas.
"I heard that your ranch has already started to slaughter cattle and sheep, and you are also building a horse farm?" Angela is really a little curious, although the family's ranch is not big, but she knows some common sense about her life in the ranch for more than 20 years; Although the family does not raise Angus cattle, she also knows that the average Angus cattle have a growth cycle of about a year.
"Recently, we have been slowly controlling the cattle and sheep to be slaughtered, and their growth is good. You know, my cattle and sheep are all fine-farmed, so they grow a little bit faster. Seeing that little York was practicing boxing, Wei Da also reminded him slightly; Little York's desire to become a rugby player, strength and speed are important to him.
Wei Da, who was in a good mood, sent off the little apprentice, and he was also going to attend some drinking parties or something; Although Wei Da is really not interested in the so-called celebrity drinking parties and the like, as a white and tender Hao who has just emerged from the soil, some things cannot be avoided. In addition, Wei Da does know that even if he wants to live a comfortable life, sometimes he needs to deal with others slightly.
For Wei Da, such a cocktail party is nothing more than expanding his network, and of course, maybe some people will get some opportunities here. Wei Da felt that it was also very surprising that he received the invitation, after all, although he was worth a good amount, he should not be very influential. Although he is a multi-millionaire, Wei Da also knows that he still needs to find some business partners at some point.
Dressed up a little, the straight suit actually made Wei Da feel a little unaccustomed, he still preferred casual wear; But it can't be helped, this is a formal cocktail party, and wearing a formal dress is not only a respect for the host and guests of the cocktail party, but also respect for yourself.
The drinking party is in Fort Worth, and there is no way, Abilene is still a little smaller, and it is not very convenient for some rich people; And the initiator of this drinking party is Eduardo's father, which may be one of the reasons why Weida was able to get the invitation. Compared with some of the real rich people, Weida may still be a little lower now.
