Chapter 378: Continue to develop
"BOSS, HAVE YOU COME TO INSPECT THE WORK OF THE RANCH?" Seeing Weida coming over with two cubs, Tim laughed and joked; This is one of the first cowboys to follow Weida, and although this guy is usually relatively silent, he still has a little sense of humor occasionally.
"Yes, I'm worried that some slackers might be passive. I'm not a good boss, and I have to squeeze every cowboy out of it. Wei Da smiled and bumped his fist with Tim and joked, "Now the development of the ranch has reached a bottleneck, so I need you to work harder, I need to let you know how good my boss is." It's not easy to get the salary I offered, you need to work harder. ”
"Rest assured, no one wants to lose this job, I can guarantee it." Tim said half-exaggerated and half-serious, this is also the consensus of cowboys, because the treatment of the ranch is very good, far more than the treatment of ordinary ranch cowboys. "We all know that it takes more effort to be able to live up to your salary and bonuses."
"You've done a great job, Tim, trust me. I know cowboys work hard, so I'm going to give you what you deserve. Wei Da said very seriously, he really thinks that the cowboys' work is actually doing a very good job now, "I hope the development of the ranch can be better, I think you have already seen that the ranch actually still has a lot of potential to be tapped." If new breeds can be marketed, if the overall quality of Angus cattle can reach the first level, then the income of the ranch will skyrocket. ”
"We all know that. Now every pregnant cow is our sweetheart, and we take care of them more than the cowboys' wives. We are now all projecting our revenue for the new year. If these new breeds can be scaled up, perhaps we can earn more than $50,000 with bonuses. Tim laughed and joked. He also said very seriously.
Weida shrugged his shoulders, he felt that what Tim said still made sense; In fact, Weida treats cowboys really well, aside from their own salaries, which is a little higher than that of ordinary cowboys. The most important thing is that Wei Da is willing to give enough bonuses to the cowboys, which can even earn more than the average American middle class, and the ranch has a lot of potential.
The two bears were very lively, and although the grass was only budding now, the two fellows were still rolling happily on the ground; Of course, the most important thing is that these two guys are a little dishonest. They ignore Wei Da's instructions, and they will grin at the lone calves when faced with herds of cattle. The two of them will be.
Wei Da felt that he could not hold his face, the two little ones had managed to annoy a cow, and they were now running away in a panic. It's just that these two guys look more like children who have succeeded in pranks, albeit being hunted down. But they're still happy. Look at Tim's playful gaze. Wei Da felt that he was under a lot of pressure; The stinking virtues of these two guys were obviously going to be recorded in Weida's account.
"I can assure you that I have never taught them to be so naughty. As you may know, bears are very naughty, and many times they don't pay attention to other people's opinions, they just want to have a lot of fun. A somewhat embarrassed Weida stopped the big guy and Pooh, although the two guys were very protesting and dissatisfied, but Weida still carried Pooh on his shoulders.
Anyway, whether Tim believes it or not, Weida believes it; Carrying Pooh on his shoulders is also a good solution to the problem. That is, this little guy can't break free from Wei Da, so he can only honestly hold Wei Da's shoulders with his little fat hands. Seeing Vinnie Lai 'coquettish' in Weida's arms. The big guy is jealous, and now he is hugging Wei Da's thighs and begging for a hug intensely.
These little guys in the family are still very discerning, especially these two little bears, they may have learned badly from Xiao Li, the little guy; I like to be held, and I don't look at the two of them now that they are in their fifties, and it is a lot of pressure to hold either of these two guys, especially these two guys often compete with each other.
"A couple of old professors over there were very unhappy with our ranch management, they thought that we shouldn't continue to expand the herd of new cattle like this, and they always felt that we needed to ensure the purity of the American bison bloodline, not this kind of crossbreeding with Angus cattle." Tim looked at the few Kansas State University researchers with some dissatisfaction, these guys had been thinking about their academic research, but it really didn't help the ranch much.
"Ignore those guys, they're all complete bastards. They have a research grant that I sponsor, but they really haven't had any research results in the past few years. Ignore them, in fact, they are still a little helpful, at least provide us with some advice to refer to. Wei Da shrugged his shoulders, and was very dissatisfied with the fact that these researchers had taken the funds they had provided, which also included a lot of technology, but there were not too many research results for a long time; But it can't be helped, it really takes luck and patience to do a lot of research.
"Ryo and You are doing a good job, they can take good care of the bison. I think except for the Hercules King and the Great Sage, the other bison are more accepting of the two of them, rather than you as the boss. Watching Wei Da hugging the two chubby bears left and right, Tim was a little amused, but he also explained.
"Every calf born has a pedigree and a birth certificate that can be traced on their growth and health. The number of cattle in the first generation crossed by bison and Angus cattle is now 321, and the number of cattle crossed by the first generation and Angus cattle is 220. There are now more than 500 cows with calves, and believe me, we will have more than 1,500 cows on our farm this year. Tim took the document and handed it to Weida.
"It seems that there is a third generation of cattle now, and they are not fully grown yet. But I think we need to keep working hard and try the third and fourth generation cattle. We need to know under what circumstances these guys are genetically stable. Work harder and find a way to make them work harder to sow seeds. "Holding the big butts of the two little bears, Weida is under a lot of pressure; In particular, the paws of the two cubs are on their shoulders. It's even more stressful.
After a round in the pasture, Weida was basically satisfied; Although he is the shopkeeper, Wei Da will still go to the ranch every once in a while, and basically the situation is clear. It doesn't seem like there's much to worry about now, and as long as this steady development continues, the future of the ranch will naturally be better.
played a little with the Hercules King and the Great Sage of Pingtian, and rode two oxen into the herd violently; It's a great sense of accomplishment. Because there are two bison leaders, there is no need to worry about these bison hurting themselves, because the other bison have long since retreated. Faced with the overlord of the two bison, the other bison did not have the strength to provoke them.
Wei Da sometimes thinks that those cowboys who ride bulls are also bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, although the cows they ride are very irritable, but Wei Da can be sure. If those guys meet the Hercules they. Then the best ending is that there is no missing arm and broken leg. Even Fang Liang and Fang You, the two cowboys who have been taking care of bison, often don't give face; Although they do not actively attack people, they will never accept the closeness of others.
Returned home with two farts and little bears, and as expected, the fat son who woke up from sleep began to make noise about finding his little playmates, that is, the two little bears. Seeing these two little bears, the little guy quickly became happy, stumbling and stumbling to hug the bears. Naturally, the result was directly knocked over by two crazy bears; The little fat man is still a little smaller, and the little guy who is only a little over a year old is still a little unstable.
Weida wasn't worried about the little ones going crazy or hurting anyone. Angela was watching from the sidelines anyway; Although Angela is gradually starting to show her pregnancy now, she is not yet immobile, at least she can take care of these little guys. In addition, even if the two bears themselves are more familiar, plus they have been getting along day and night for the past two months, Wei Da also knows that it is really impossible for them to hurt others, which is enough.
"Hey, how about we have a little more wine this year?" Wang Ye ran over, with a lewd look in his eyebrows, "Last year, we only had more than 5,000 bottles of red wine, which is indeed a little less." The market price of this wine is basically 50 dollars a bottle on average, which is very good. However, this year, it is necessary to be a little more diverse, otherwise it will be too little to distribute the $100,000 on hand. ”
glanced at Wang Ye, who was not popular enough to swallow elephants, last year was a trial selection, so it is normal for the wine yield to be relatively low; But the results are still very satisfying, because I found some good seeds, and now I can start planting them on a large scale. Although it is true that it is necessary to continue to observe this process, it is certain that the production of red wine will continue to increase.
Last year, some of the better wines sold for hundreds of dollars, which may not seem very high, but it is definitely a lot. And the most important thing is that red wine still has the potential to continue to improve, so basically it can be said that this investment will definitely continue to improve.
"Don't be too greedy, let people cut down the unqualified vines first. This year, we're going to keep three good grapes for trial, but I guess we're going to be able to reach tens of thousands of bottles. When the time comes, if you can grow high-quality red wine, it will be almost a million a year! Wei Da really thinks that this is still very potential, and it will be successful to leave good grape varieties to continue to study and try.
"Let's go for it, I think we really need to do a good job now, and it would be a big loss if we don't grow better grapes. If we build a winery, it will be 20 million, which is a total of millions a year, then we will not lose money, not to mention that we are still a partnership of three people. Wang Ye is not worried, the first year was only a large-scale trial planting, so the seeds are good and bad.
But now it's time for the full harvest, because the good seeds are almost selected, and they are basically guaranteed to make a lot of money this year; And in the future, it is also guaranteed that the wine will get better and better, which is a huge gold mine, which can be continuously excavated.
