Chapter 1304: Messy Little Things
Two chubby little hippos were playing beside the glass lion overlooking the sea, and from behind them, except for the different colors, the rest looked like pigs, and the food was too good, and the circles on their bodies were sunken fat folds, running happily and playing with Pooh and them.
This hard-nosed animal, which has few natural predators, usually lives in a small lake next to the resort where it entertains guests and company executives, and is quite relaxed and happy without the company of its old neighbor, the crocodile.
Their ancestors came to the United States by boat several generations ago, wandering circuses and zoos, and have adapted to the American climate.
When you have the strength to raise giant pandas, it is not difficult to raise two baby hippos for people to admire.
Living by the sea is a pleasant experience, and many people want to be able to live a life where they can open the door to the sea every day.
This kind of life is far away for most people in the world, but it is within reach for Han Xuan, who already has a large piece of land in Seventeen Mile Bay, California, and wants to expand it even more.
After breakfast, Erna's housekeeper helped clean up the dishes, Han Xuan used to be a few months away, even if he came over, he only stayed for a few days, this time he stayed at Ganbao Marine Ranch for more than half a month, he was very happy, at least he could find something to do as a housekeeper, otherwise it was right to get a salary, but life was very boring.
He saw Han Xuan sitting on the recliner at the door reading the newspaper, so he poured a glass of warm water, walked out of the door and put it on the small round table next to the chair, and said:
"The fish in the sea often eat animal manure pulled from the snowy mountain pastures, and the cattle and sheep also eat the grass from the snowy mountain pastures, and now their meat has mysterious nutrients.
I used to have gray hair, but this morning I looked in the mirror and saw a few black hairs, and they all said that it slowed down aging, and it seemed to be really effective.
Cattle are not bad, Tyson Foods bought them at the price of Snow Mountain Ranch last year, and seafood, every time it costs so much money on freight, the price can't be sold very high, barely enough to make up for the cost of spending on the road and processing into feed, I think this is thankless. ”
Han Xuan was single-minded, and while listening to him, after reading a report about the European Union, he raised his head and looked at it, and asked him: "Is it so cheap?"
Probably because compared to the Snow Mountain Ranch, this marine ranch is not famous for the time being.
Don't worry, I'll find a way to solve it, Snow Mountain Ranch is not famous in a day, it takes a long time to build a brand, and when the time comes, it will definitely make the seafood of our Ganbao Sea Ranch famous......"
I had planned to bring that magical octahedron to Ganbao Sea Ranch to try it, but my own Snow Mountain Ranch was badly injured last time, and the Act content in the land has not yet recovered to the previous level, so I am afraid that there will be any more accidents, so I didn't dare to touch it recently, and I will talk about it later.
The old way is still to pull hay from Montana by train to this area, and occasionally pull cow and sheep manure, which contains the act that they have not absorbed, which is considered natural feed.
Some fish like to eat animal feces, such as sardines and saury, for fear of polluting the seawater, so only a small part of the stocking, they mainly eat small fish and shrimp in the sea.
Artificially farmed fish in the offshore water, if not stopped by purse seine nets, most of those fish will eventually run away, and a small part of the feed can largely retain the bottom fish, as long as the small fish do not run, then squid, American mackerel, salmon and other fish, will stay here.
A few days ago, the California government opened a permit to fish for broken ditch lobsters, which lasted from September 15 to March 15 next year, and the sea in the distance was already covered with floating debris from shrimp pots.
These days, Captain Robinson and they are so busy that they can't see the shadow, the output of broken ditch lobsters is amazing, and they return with a full load several times a day, the big penguin fishing boat is still a little smaller, Han Xuan has no plans to buy another big boat recently, and he has to wait until he buys other places in Seventeen Mile Bay and expands the area of the fishing ground, and now he can barely make do with it......
"Yes, I feel like they're working together to lower the purchase price, and it's said that the seafood from our fishery is quite expensive when sold elsewhere."
Hearing Han Xuan say that he would find a way to solve it, Erna Butler didn't say anything more and went to work on other things.
He is in charge of the financial power of Ganbao Sea Ranch, and he has not asked Han Xuan for money as early as two years ago, and has entered the normal stage of development and has begun to make profits.
When he first came this time, he showed Han Xuan the financial statements, and there were already more than 24 million US dollars on the books, not all of which came from the fishing grounds, but also from the dividends from the tickets for people to visit Seventeen Mile Bay, cattle and sheep, wine, and so on.
This old housekeeper has not studied management systematically, and it is very difficult to take care of the Gambo Sea Ranch, and I don't know how much effort it takes to run it so well.
When Han Xuan heard the nanny talk about it, he realized that the old man had been very worried recently, and he was already looking for someone to come over to help him......
I didn't read the newspaper a few days ago, so now Han Xuan has a big stack in his hand, and he is very fast.
The establishment of a charitable foundation to build 300 snow-capped primary schools in China was discovered by the Los Angeles Times.
I used to be married to the Los Angeles Times, but since today, April, Han Xuan has reappeared in the public eye, and it has not deliberately smeared the Han family as before, probably because of the change of CEO.
The Baltimore Sun revealed that Apple and Microsoft have formally reached an agreement, and Microsoft managed by Bill Gates will recently buy 5 percent of Apple's shares at a price of $187 million, and Apple will withdraw the lawsuit against Microsoft some time ago.
Steve Jobs was able to solve the funding problem, and Microsoft would have the advantage of being able to implant office software suitable for Apple's operating system in the future.
This matter was talked about a few months ago, when Han Xuan was a guest at Gates' house.
When he learned that the BeBook laptop had spent 16 days pre-selling a full 100,000 units, he called Han Xuan again and said that he wanted to develop office software for the Be-OS operating system.
Han Xuan never thought of asking for trouble to get involved in the office software market, and naturally couldn't ask for this kind of good thing, and it can be seen from Gates's approach that Microsoft, which has occupied most of the desktop operating system, did not take Be-OS in his eyes at all, otherwise it would be wisest to make Be-OS operating system have no office software available.
Since the emergence of MyShop, which is similar to Apple's App-Store, developers have not been very enthusiastic about developing software suitable for the Be-OS operating system.
Because it currently has too few users, fewer users means fewer customers who buy their software and don't make much money.
The money used to sell software was owned by the software development company, and it was sold in MyShop in the Be-OS system, but it had to be shared by the Hope Group.
The number of notebook pre-sales is beyond the expectations of software developers, and recently there have been many people who are ready to develop software suitable for Be-OS, which supports online purchase and online download, which indos does not have.
Savvy people have found that closed systems seem to prevent pirated software to a greater extent, which will greatly increase developer revenues.
However, Gates didn't pay much attention to it, he felt that Han Xuan was just wasting money, and didn't realize that more revenue could increase the motivation of developers, and excellent software could in turn attract more users, which is how Apple grew in the future.
I can't look down on the closed Be-OS operating system, and when I got rid of Apple, I gave Gates the confidence to copy the idea of "online download and install software", and I was preparing to take the lead in using it on the indos system, which was not registered for a patent, and it could not be registered for a patent, so anyone could use it.
Don't think about online installation, think so highly, in fact, in this era, whether it is downloading music online or downloading software, it takes a long time, which is only slightly more convenient than buying a floppy disk.
The same goes for MyVideo, a platform that allows users to upload videos for free, and if you want to watch small videos on it, it will take time to download.
As a result, various title parties came into being, and there are often things that take more than ten or dozens of minutes to download, but after watching it, they don't think the video is interesting.
With this in mind, functions such as user scoring and comments have also been developed one after another, giving high scores if they are interesting and low scores if they are not interesting, so that to a certain extent, you can distinguish the quality of video content.
The Be-OS operating system is gradually emerging, and most of the users who book BeBook notebooks are out of trust in Han Xuan, who himself thinks that this desktop operating system is very easy to use, so he is not afraid to disappoint them.
Compared with the laptop division of the Hope Group, Apple, the former industry trendsetter, is still struggling to move forward in the quagmire.
When Jobs returned to the company, he cut off many departments in an attempt to get Apple back on the line.
But there are more difficulties than he imagined, the most important thing for Internet technology companies is products, and Apple currently does not have any excellent products that can be handled, which makes the board of directors begin to question Jobs's ability, and the infighting is fierce.
Today, Apple has invested a lot of money in the development of new products, and the research and development direction is new laptops and desktop computers, and the start of the operating system is slower than Han Xuan.
At this time, from the "American Express", he saw Jobs announcing that he was about to enter the mobile phone industry, which made him a little crying and laughing.
Mobile phone patents have been divided by major companies, and the formation of patent barriers, the development of science and technology is not enough to support the emergence of smart phones, it is conceivable that if Jobs really set foot in the traditional mobile phone industry, he will definitely hit the head and bleed......
In the "U.S. News" newspaper, there was a piece of news that caught Han Xuan's attention.
The content is about Dinis, who was recently trying to approach Time Warner to buy DC Comics, but was rejected by Time Warner Inc.
Compared with the thriving Pixar animation studio, Disney's traditional animation is declining, last year's "Clock Tower Stranger" box office performance was dismal, and at the end of June this year, "Hercules Hercules" invested $70 million, and finally ended in tragedy.
The fifth wave of mergers in American history is about to pass, without ABC TV, Pixar Animation Studios and Marvel Comics, and several "wheels" that supported Disney's rapid development in the previous life have been quietly stolen by Han Xuan.
Disney still has enough cash at the moment, but the outlook is not optimistic, and the stock has fallen sharply several times.
Han Xuan was thinking at this time, maybe he should contact this company, there is no heavyweight film and television company at home, and he is very enthusiastic about the various channels owned by Disney.....
