At present, domestic milk powder, especially infant milk powder, is almost about 100 yuan a can, and it is far from the point where it costs 2 or 300 yuan a can at every turn.

And because the domestic milk powder industry has not yet broken out of the corresponding scandal, so the current domestic infant milk powder market is mainly occupied by several domestic dairy giants.

Foreign goat milk powder has not yet invaded the domestic market on a large scale, and even the price of infant milk powder sold in the domestic market is not as exaggerated as that of later generations, and it is only about dozens of yuan more expensive than domestic milk powder.

And the cost of these milk powders is about one-tenth of their retail price on the market, even in later generations.

The raw materials required for the production of milk powder are often the most essential part of milk, and the remaining part will produce daily fresh milk, and the key to making the milk powder industry bigger is that you must have a stable and reliable milk source.

And Uncle Andy's suggestion is indeed worth considering, considering the current domestic cow living environment and milk production problems, it is indeed not as cost-effective as buying a pasture abroad.

Although it seems that the cost of raising dairy cows in China seems to be cheaper than raising dairy cows abroad, after all, where is the price of labor, but if you take into account the large-scale use of automated machinery, as well as scientific cattle raising, increase production and other factors, in fact, raising dairy cows in China is not cheaper than raising dairy cows abroad.

This is also ten years later, the cost price of a ton of milk powder in China will be as high as 30,000 yuan. And milk powder imported from New Zealand. The CIF price after adding the freight is only about 24,000 yuan, the main reason.

We are lagging behind in the production method and high-tech cattle raising. It has caused China's backwardness in the production and quality of milk powder.

Li Yifan, who was in later generations, once saw a program on TV that was dedicated to explaining the milk powder industry, so he knew so much about this industry.

In the past, he just thought about bringing in dairy cows from Canada to raise them back to China and then produce milk powder, but now that Uncle Andy's suggestion has stopped, he thinks this proposal is very good.

The uncle and nephew were interested, so they took the sifted materials and studied them, which lasted thirty hours.

Zuihou they have demarcated the most suitable pasture. That's a ranch in western Alberta called Red Deer River.

This ranch is located in the prairie area, the land is fertile, the area of the ranch is about 50,000 acres, and there are about 10,000 cows in the pasture.

The rancher has just brought in a large number of dairy cows, which is not a small cost, and has also purchased a milk powder production line with an annual output of about 100,000 tons, and originally planned to make great efforts to produce fresh milk and milk powder.

But I didn't think that the money had just been spent. But it was just in time for the financial crisis.

The dairy company they had signed an agreement with went out of business, and they didn't even have a place to claim compensation. Although the cows bought from bank loans now produce a lot of milk, the domestic market is fiercely competitive, and they have no chance to compete with other dairy giants.

The money borrowed from the bank would incur huge interest every day, and soon the farmer would not be able to hold on, and he was planning to sell his ranch recently.

Unfortunately, the economic environment in North America is not very good, especially in the livestock industry, a lot of cash has poured into the NASDAQ stock market, squeezing out a crazy bubble in the NASDAQ stock market, but there are really not many people willing to come to them to buy ranch.

And there is a big reason why their ranch is so difficult to buy, and that is because of the geographical location of their ranch.

Only about half of their pastures are in the savannah, but half of them are mountainous and woodland, which is not very suitable for grazing dairy cows.

If this ranch is mainly willing to sell his ranch at a low price, it is estimated that there are still people willing to take over, but the old man bites the price, and he can't even think about it less than 100 million US dollars, which also discourages many potential buyers who are interested in buying this ranch.

The world is not good, your ranch is still so expensive, and now in Alberta, there are more than your haode ranch, why are you buying it so expensive?

To be honest, 100 million US dollars to buy such a large ranch, if it is put in the United States, it is definitely not expensive, and it can even be said that it is very cheap, but where is the United States after all, in Canada, this price is definitely not cheap.

What's more, this is still a land with nearly half of the land is located in the mountains, woodland!

Others don't like this ranch, but Li Yifan does, because Uncle Andy helped him screen it and told him that this might be the most suitable ranch for him.

It turns out that the reason is also very simple, it is because of ubiquitous racial discrimination!

Don't look at Canada, which claims to be one of the most inclusive countries on Shijie, but in fact, except for the Vancouver area of British Columbia, where the Chinese population is the majority, in fact, there are more or less unspoken rules in many other places.

In the ranch information that Uncle Andy gave to Li Yifan, it is actually more than the conditions of this Red Deer River Ranch, and the price is not much more expensive than the price of this Red Deer River Ranch.

But if Li Yifan really finds these ranches to talk to people, I'm afraid that the results of Zuihou will still not be satisfactory, even if those ranchers are willing to sell to him, the state government and local governments will add a lot of rules and regulations to him.

On the other hand, if he is willing to buy this Red Deer River Ranch, it is estimated that not many people will compete with him, after all, the conditions are not too good, and the price is not cheap.

It seems that if Li Yifan buys this ranch, he may suffer a loss, but if you think about it in the long run, considering the domestic demand for foreign milk powder in the future, then buying this ranch now is definitely a big advantage.

Don't say anything, now that they have made up their minds, the uncle and nephew decided to go over tomorrow to investigate, and that night Uncle Andy called his secretary and asked her to help with the flight to Calgary.

Calgary is located in southwestern Alberta and British Columbia, separated by only one Rocky Mountains, and close to Highway 97, which makes it easy to transport milk powder directly by road to Vancouver and then ship it to China.

The next day, the uncle and nephew arrived in Calgary, and as soon as they got off the plane, they saw an old man with a white beard, holding a card with his uncle's name written on it, standing in the airport reception hall.

"Hello, is it Edmund? I'm Andy. Plum. ”

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Lee, I'm Edmund, welcome to Calgary."

This old man was Edmund, the owner of the Red Deer River Ranch, and a few people exchanged a few words of greeting in the lobby of the airport, and then left the airport, got into Edmund's car, and drove straight to the Red Deer River Ranch.

Edmund's Red Deer River Ranch has not been sold, and it is the kind of ranch that is not easy to buy in Alberta, but the old man doesn't want to reduce the price, but I heard that there are many rich people in Vancouver, especially those new immigrants and Chinese, many of whom are very rich.

So the old man found Andy's Law Firm, which is more well-known in the Vancouver area, and wanted to see if he could help find a richer buyer through them.

I didn't expect Andy to really find him, but looking at the young and untalking teenager who was sitting on the back sofa introduced by Andy, Edmund suddenly felt a little bottomless in his heart.

However, Andy's fame is not for nothing, not to mention that the big bosses of Andy Law Firm are here in person this time, so Edmund can only choose to believe that the young man behind him is the buyer of this transaction.

The old man drove a dilapidated Toyota pickup truck that I don't know what age it was, although the maintenance was okay, but it can be seen from this point that the old man's economic situation is not very good at present.

Along the way, the old man kept telling them about his ranch, and it was not far from Calgary, about fifty or sixty kilometers, and after crossing a large river, he came to the old man's ranch.

Looking at the endless prairie and the cattle grazing on the grassland, Li Yifan was excited, this ranch is really beautiful.

Red Deer River Ranch is located at the foot of the Rocky Mountains, connected to the ranch is a mountain range about 1,000 meters above sea level, and the woodland on the mountain belongs to the Red Deer River Ranch.

And there are several rivers that melt the snow from the mountains and go down the mountain, forming a lake with a large area in the center of the Red Deer River Ranch, and the whole ranch looks very neat and beautiful, just like the kind of American ranch seen in the movie in the past, and Li Yifan can see at a glance that there are many places here, all of which are exactly the same as the scenery in the famous director of Baodao who later filmed "Back Mountain".

Because the ranch has now begun to raise mainly dairy cows, there are not many beef cattle to be seen on the field, and there are two or three hundred of them in the meadow near Edmund's house in the pasture that cannot be seen at a glance.

Behind Edmund's house is a large dairy farm that has just been built, where rows of clean and tidy dairy cow breeding workshops stand...... (To be continued.) )
