Chapter 494: A New Object of Investigation
Wei Da was indeed wondering that he was really not to the extent of robbing too many people's rations now; Wei Da also admits that with his rise, he is now indeed grabbing some high-end markets. Wei Da thinks that these things are very normal things, and in the era of market economy, many times it is necessary to rely on strength and products to speak.
Wang Ye often says some things, now Wang Ye is the agent of all the beef produced by the ranch, Wang Ye actually encountered a lot of difficulties in this process, but also got a lot of opportunities. In the face of Wang Ye, an agent who has risen by virtue of excellent beef products, in fact, this has also aroused the jealousy of many people, at least Wei Da has also encountered a lot of agents and the like to come to the door.
Now that's it, when you threaten the interests of others, then it will definitely arouse the jealousy of some people; Wei Da knows very well that his current strength is already very good, and he does have the capital to become a giant now, which of course will also cause some people to be nervous, because they already regard Wei Da as an opponent.
Wei Da hopes that he thinks too much, he doesn't think about making enemies everywhere now, he also wants to continue to develop and make money in a low-key manner, play games with his children at home, live with his wife, and honor his parents. Wei Da has never wanted to intrigue with people in the mall, and Wei Da also knows that he really doesn't have much talent in business, and he will be swallowed directly by those businessmen.
Although I still don't know what exactly happened, although it is only because the rancher of this grass ranch simply wants cash, he does not want to continue to worry about this ranch. But it also gave Weida a wake-up call. The current Wei Da can be said to be a small character with some fame, and some things are not as simple as Wei Da believes.
"Mr. Wei, I'm sorry." Weida was still sleeping. But he received a phone call, from his agent, "Qingcao Ranch has completed the acquisition, and a consortium has completed the acquisition of Qingcao Ranch before us." As far as I know, there are no other conditions that are different, except that they are a little bit faster than us. It's just that I think maybe we need to look for pastures again, and these guys are doing a lot of things. ”
Although he failed to complete the acquisition, Wei Da also knew a little something; It's not deliberately targeted. Actually, it's quite normal. Now Weida is just buying a ranch, and this ranch is not necessarily Weida has to take it; No one will take out 50 million to fight Wei Da at this time, even if they have the support of a consortium. But I don't necessarily have the confidence to spend a lot of money.
It's just that one thing is certain now, that is, Wei Da has indeed encountered a stumbling block now; These guys came to inspect the ranch after themselves, and they got some information that should be good, which made them quickly make up their minds. Weida now. In a sense, it was indeed sniped.
Although it was a bit disappointing. But it also makes Weida certain of one thing; Now he doesn't need to continue to worry, because the grass ranch has nothing to do with him now, he doesn't need to worry about financial pressure now, he doesn't need to worry about putting all the money into it now. So now, let's think of it as a blessing for Seon to lose his horse, so that Weida can have other ideas, and he can start choosing a new ranch again.
As long as he has money in his hand, then Wei Da does not need to worry about not being able to buy a ranch at all; In fact, it is. Now Weida has also quickly started the choice of a new stop. As for the grass pasture, which I originally liked, I would like it as a small decoration. This is just a small passerby, and it will not affect Wei Da's life at all.
Still in Montana, in fact, Weida is now more interested in this piece of abundant water and grass, which is very suitable for the development of animal husbandry. Montana is arguably second only to Texas as a suitable place for large-scale ranching, and Weida likes it now because Montana is in the north, which complements the drier and hotter state of Texas.
In fact, Angus cattle live in relatively mild and even cold places like Montana, and they are more hardy; Weida hopes that his ranch can be more comprehensive and three-dimensional in the future, and what is needed now is to make the products of the ranch more sufficient. Wei Dake has a lot of ambitions, and he hopes to make his ranch a real giant in the future.
"This ranch is not good, the usable area here is a little too small." Wei Da looked through some materials and photos, which were newly received information about a ranch; In fact, this is Wei Da's polite statement, looking at the turf situation of this pasture, Wei Da just lost interest; The pastures are not well maintained, and the potential of the land is small.
"Let's go to Augusta, it looks like it's worth visiting." Wei Da made up his mind, and he did have a lot of information about the ranch in his hand, and Wei Da looked at a ranch that didn't seem to be very good after some research.
Wei Da's choice is indeed a little surprising, Wei Da is indeed very rich, his previous selection criteria are also very high, and even in some details, Wei Da is also very strict. But now, he looked like it was a broken jar, and he was going to pick the kind of pasture that no one else seemed to value.
Although Augusta is also located in the eastern part of Montana, it is relatively rich in water and grass; Although the surface of the Andillo pasture he saw now was bare, and a handful of grass popped up from time to time, and the soil here did seem to be more desertified, for Weida, he valued more than just the superficial phenomenon.
Wei Da felt that hearing was false, seeing was believing, and the area of Andillo's ranch was 63,000 acres; According to the data, there is also a small lake with an area of more than 30 acres in the ranch, including a hill of about 500 acres. These may seem like unusable areas, but they're still worth it; At the very least, the small lake is valuable and will make irrigation much easier, which is the guarantee of water for pastures.
Early in the morning, Wei Da set off with his agent, personal accountant, assistant, etc.; Wei Da felt that it was not bad, the overall geography of the ranch was relatively flat, and it was a good terrain suitable for the development of the ranch. Moreover, the transportation is relatively convenient, not too remote, which also allows Weida to ensure the transportation of materials for the ranch.
Wei Da thought that this place looked pretty good, at least it was better to see the pasture than to see it in the data; A lot of the photos I see on those reports are beautiful and beautiful, although there are some more realistic photos, but they are obviously not specific enough.
The ranch looked really run-down, and the whole ranch was full of small grasses on the east side and a small bush on the west side. This may be a ranch that is not managed carelessly, or it may be that there is no way to better manage the ranch due to limited conditions. Weida thinks the ranch could be better, but it's clear that it's being run by some people now.
Before I came, I had actually contacted the rancher of Andillo Ranch, and the owner of Andillo Ranch had already greeted Wei Da and his party at the gate of the ranch, of course, at this time, I needed some necessary greetings and politeness. After a little introduction to the situation, the rancher took Wei Da and drove towards the ranch.
Wei Da shook his head when he saw it, Augusta is actually really a good place, in such a place where the water and soil are very good, this ranch is actually so badly operated. When I first entered the ranch, the ground was still a little green. The further you go inside, the more desolate it becomes. At first, you can still see some relatively complete grass herds, but the more you look, the more dilapidated places you find.
It was supposed to be a dense and fertile land, but now it looks like the pastures are more like weeds; The pasture grass is short and mixed, and many places are not well managed, the grass roots are bitten by cattle and sheep, and the rancher does not repair it well, the pasture grass in the pasture is like a dysentery, sparse and ugly.
Although the operation of this ranch seems to be very poor, it is still very satisfactory for Weida; Standing in front of the small lake in the pasture and looking at the clear water here, Wei Da felt very satisfied. It's a good thing for him, because he might be able to keep the price down, and he thinks there's a lot of potential here.
Wei Da got out of the car from time to time along the way, grabbed a handful of dirt, and rubbed it with his hands; He found that the soil was basically rough, and there were a lot of small pebbles. Wei Da knew that this was this pasture, but the irrigation had not kept up, and if the irrigation was good, it would not be too bad. It's not just that the soil is desertified, it's just that it's not well managed, and that's what Weida is happy about.
The pasture grass here is a little yellow and dwarf for a long time, and outside of this pasture, Wei Da knows very well that this land is rich in water and grass, and other pastures must be green if they are managed with a little care. This is a dereliction of duty on the part of the rancher, because the value of the ranch has fallen to the limit, and now the ranch is basically on the verge of bankruptcy.
"Let's go to the cattle pen and I'd like to be able to go there if there's a fence here. Overall, I'm basically okay with it, I know that there may be some problems with the operation of the ranch, and if there is an adequate irrigation system, then the ranch still has a lot of potential for growth. Wei Da is not stingy to say what he thinks, this is the actual situation, in fact, this is also what many people can see, this is not a secret.
"It's true, even though the ranch has a small lake, it's very difficult to get the irrigation system going. As you may have seen, the terrain of the ranch is not particularly flat, which will make me want to invest a lot of pressure, and I can't afford it. "The rancher of Andillo's ranch confessed that he couldn't afford it; And now, if he can sell the ranch, it may be good for him, at least it will make him live without such a tight life, and he can get a lot of money!
