Chapter 147: The Horse Farm is going bankrupt
In the morning, Zhang Chi woke up from the bed, got dressed and sat on the edge of the bed, pressed his hand on the edge of the bed again, and let himself go for a while, without thinking about anything in his head, just sat like this.
After waking up, Zhang Chi washed the cotton slippers he pulled, and reached out to push the door open.
As soon as the door opened, a cold wind immediately rushed into the house, making Zhang Chi, who was standing at the door, shudder, and tightened his neckline, Zhang Chi found that there were small snowflakes floating in the sky.
At this time, snow is not common in my hometown, but it is already commonplace here, and sometimes even in mid-April and early May, God will give you a game when you are unhappy, and let you put back on your freshly taken autumn pants.
The riding boots stepped on the snow, the soft feeling in the snow, and the squeaky sound of the snow, the cold air that entered the lungs, made people feel refreshed, just crawled out of the bed, and the little laziness on the body dissipated instantly.
Walk all the way to the cowshed at the light.
By the time they got to the cowshed, Cannon was already busy and had cleared a quarter of the area.
“BOSS”
Seeing Zhang Chi come in, Cannon stopped what he was doing and smiled.
At this moment, he is really happy, because he got a work visa, which means that he can take his wife from his hometown, and several underage children can also follow him.
For Cannon, these are all given by Zhang Chi, the boss, and the only thing he can do is to do his job well in a down-to-earth manner, and do a good job with his strength.
"Take a break, just do the work slowly," Zhang Chi said.
Zhang Chi understood Cannon's thoughts, if it weren't for Cannon's hard work, he wouldn't have spent so much money to help him get a job sign.
But hard work is hard work, and if you sell too much, you can't do it.
The water always flows, you must have foresight, if Cannon continues to work like this, if something goes wrong with his body, it is not a loss to only give Zhang Chi three or five years to work, his body is great, and he will serve Zhang Chi Ranch for fifty years, this is what Zhang Chi wants.
"There's not much to do, and there are only a few cows here in the ranch right now," Cannon laughed.
Zhang Chi walked into the cowshed, stretched out his hand and patted the cow next to him, the rest of the cows were all strong, and under Cannon's care, none of them could see the ribs.
"How many have calves?" Zhang Chi asked.
"Ninety out of five were checked before last week, and even if they don't, they have been made up, and almost in the autumn, the first calves of our own on the farm will be born."
As soon as he thought of it, Cannon smiled, the kind of smile from the heart.
Since he went to the United States to work as a black worker, his life is the most comfortable now, the boss has helped him get a work visa, and the boss is also generous, and now the prospects of the ranch are getting better and better, and he is naturally happy.
He believes that the boss makes money, the ranch makes money, and his life will get better and better.
"By the way, I can pick up your wife and children with a work visa, right?" Zhang Chi asked.
Cannon nodded, "yes, that's okay."
"When are you going to pick it up?" Zhang Chi asked.
Cannon said: "I'm going to be in the fall, I don't have much time now, when the calves come down, my wife can come over and help take care of it, anyway, she is idle at home, she doesn't have a lot of money for the pasture, and it's okay to hand over something."
BOSS: Let's not buy more cattle today, the grass is so good, it's not suitable to raise cattle like last year, it can be increased to 1,500 heads. Of course, that's my advice".
Listen up! Cannon is really a good comrade, it's not enough to do it himself, and he has to ask his wife to come over to help! It's really sold out of his strength to sell his daughter-in-law.
Zhang Chi felt that his money was well spent.
Hearing Cannon talk about raising cattle, Zhang Chi thought of Merica's little girl, and when he thought of her, Zhang Chi felt bad.
It's okay to be a good girl, why do you have to have a good brain, you don't let yourself take advantage of it at all, it's really not a good way!
"Let's take a look, it is estimated that the price of cattle will not be low at the beginning of spring," Zhang Chi said.
Cannon nodded.
Last year's epidemic increased the price of cattle, but from another point of view, the pasture after slaughtering the sick cattle will definitely buy cattle, otherwise the ranch will not be empty?
With such a big epidemic and so many affected pastures, it would be strange if the price of cattle did not rise, how happy I was when I sold my cattle, and I guess I would have to worry more when I bought cattle this spring.
"It's snowing outside, and I don't know when the gang carrying grass will come," Zhang Chi suddenly jumped into conversation.
Cannon smiled and said: "Don't worry, now that the price of pasture is so high, they will definitely come on time, not to mention the snow, even if there is money to be made in the iron ball, they will come on time."
Hahaha!
Zhang Chi laughed when he heard this.
"Oh, by the way, what's going on with our neighbors right now?" Zhang Chi asked again.
Cannon naturally knew who the neighbors Zhang Chi was talking about, anyway, it was definitely not the Liao Ser family next to it, it was not the Liao Ser family, it was the one on the west side.
"There's not much movement," Cannon said, "and it's almost impossible to see their family out of the house."
"Haven't you bought the cow yet?" Zhang Chi asked.
Waiting for the family to buy a cow, Zhang Chi felt that he was grateful for the flowers he was waiting for, and the gourd beside him was already hungry and thirsty, why didn't he buy the cow back and let himself 'borrow' it!
Cannon smiled: "Although this one has a bad heart, he is not stupid, how can he buy it at such a high price at this time." However, BOSS, his family's ranch is not small."
"Damn, there's money!" Zhang Chi said with a smile.
The lion ranch is divided, and Zhang Chi is at most a leftover, which was quite satisfied before, but now he is a little dissatisfied.
"When we make money, we buy it," Cannon said.
"Good idea" Zhang Chi smiled: "But it's not realistic."
It's not realistic to say it, but Zhang Chi's heart may not be without bad water.
The only thing that stopped Zhang Chi from bad water was his pocket, so although he knew that this good neighbor had been making money in China, he didn't pay his share of taxes in the United States at all, and Zhang Chi still didn't report him to the tax bureau.
The two worked together for a while, cleaning up the old shed, and by this time it was already bright, but because of the snow, the sky was still gray and hazy, and the visibility was not too high.
Cannon didn't let the herd out, but with the calves of the cows, Cannon took care of them more carefully, and now they had to be released more than two hours later than before, waiting for the temperature outside to rise a little before the cows could be released.
As for the bulls, they were driven out of the barn by Cannon before Zhang Chi entered the cowshed.
At this time, the bull will not be of much value until next winter, so the treatment has dropped all the way from the breeding period to the usual level, and the oats, eggs, nutrients and so on during the breeding period have long been gone.
Zhang Chi was not worried about these things, and Cannon's responsibility was fully handed over.
Out of the cowshed, Zhang Chi went directly to the stable, put on Chiyan Mountain and rode it around the pasture, he hadn't seen his master for a long time, Chiyan Mountain was very excited, and when Zhang Chi wanted to send it back to the stable, he refused to go in, and he snorted vigorously.
Zhang Chi stretched out his hand and patted the bridge of Chiyan Mountain's nose, then stroked the new sea on its forehead, and let it move on its own.
Chiyan Mountain wanted to follow Zhang Chi, but it was a little afraid of the cold, and the warm stables and the ice and snow outside cooled down some of Chiyan Mountain's enthusiasm to see its owner.
Whether it's the sheep in the stable, the pigs, all of them are very good, if it weren't for the fact that the weather was too cold, he really didn't want to stretch out his hand, Zhang Chi wanted to pull the head sheep and slaughter it for a mutton hot pot.
At nine o'clock, the forage harvesters came, accompanied by several large trucks.
It took several hours to load the trucks one after another, and it was not until the evening that most of the forage in the warehouse was sold.
Benefiting from the sharp rise in the price of forage at the moment, Zhang Chi's income from selling forage has also risen, and the cash on the ranch's books is more than 200,000 yuan, which makes Zhang Chi's waist a little harder.
After working all day, Zhang Chi didn't want to do anything but sleep.
After a long nightbreak, the snow outside stopped, and the old face of the sun father-in-law became shy again, although there was still no heat, but it made people feel uplifted.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Chi rode Chiyan Mountain to the bar in the town.
Pushing open the door, all the cowboy ranchers in the bar greeted Zhang Chi.
"George, it's been a long time since I've seen you."
"I'll go back to see my parents and celebrate the New Year with me" Zhang Chi smiled and responded to everyone's enthusiasm while sitting in the old seat where he often sits.
Kimberly didn't need Zhang Chi to say, she directly brought Zhang Chi a bottle of beer and a basket of snacks, just like everyone here.
Take a sip of beer and listen to what the cowboys have to say about these days.
"Hey, hey!"
At this time, a young cowboy ran in, and as soon as he entered, he shouted at the people in the bar, "Mason Racecourse has heard that it is going bankrupt."
There was a sudden silence in the bar.
The bankruptcy of Mason Racecourse is nothing new for Amber Town, because before that, Mason Racecourse had not been very profitable.
The main reason is none other than that Old Mason is really too sharp.
If a person twists his jaw, it is easy to go all the way to the dark.
For someone like Mason, he thinks that his best mares will be able to breed the best racehorses, not to mention winning the triple crown, at least a few G1s.
It's a pity that speed horse racing nowadays, generally speaking, is a rich game, like in the past, a horse farm could become popular with a single horse.
But now, almost all the best horses are in the hands of the rich, and it is really difficult for an ordinary horse farm to cut the prize money of the G1 tournament if the horses that have been bred want to cut the prize money of the G1 competition.
Zhang Chi is sad for Mason, but he can't help it, bankruptcy is commonplace in the United States. Today you are bankrupt, tomorrow he will be bankrupt, otherwise there will be any ranch that changes hands and the farm is sold, and it is not all because of poor management.
I don't have much to do with Mason, so I can't be sad that I can only have a loss, which is still to match the small atmosphere in the bar.
After two sips of wine, there is nothing left of this little sadness.
