Chapter 357: Worthless
"yes, I see".
After speaking, Zhang Chi put down the phone, looked up at his daughter-in-law and said, "The call from the auction house informed us that we would go to the scene on time at ten o'clock in the morning three days later."
It was the auction house that called Zhang Chi, that is, the company responsible for the auction of the Nell Family Ranch, and they made a phone call to all the customers who had made deposits, and once again confirmed the time, place and other circumstances of the auction with people like Zhang Chi.
Merika nodded, indicating that she knew, and then said with a little worry: "I don't know what the strength of the people who participated in the auction this time is."
Merika, like Zhang Chi, also wants to get more than 2,000 acres of ranch from the Nell family, which is very important for the two of them, even if it is not connected to the current ranch, it is easy to take care of it so close.
But it's not good to say that this thing will be auctioned, in case there is a strong family who wants it, and the funds that Zhang Chi and his family can transfer now are not enough to compete with others.
It looks like a lot of money in the millions, and the vast majority of people will not have anything to do with such a number in their lifetime, but it is a bit not enough to see it when it comes to the auction, let alone the auction of more than 2,000 acres of pasture.
But even so, Zhang Chi and his family still made a decision to fight for the Nell family's ranch.
Of course, this is a wish, and whether it can be a dream come true depends on luck.
The two of them also wanted to know what kind of person participated in the auction, but the auction house also has the rules of the auction house, and people can't leak the customer's information to others.
Not to mention that there is still a way of telephone auction, that is, the auctioneer is not on site, and the staff is contacted by phone and video.
So Zhang Chi now doesn't know if his good neighbor will plug in a lever.
If this goods is plugged in, Zhang Chi feels that he has to go and get the deposit back, so he won't have to worry about it.
While the two were chatting about the auction, the notebook next to Merica rang.
Merika took a look at it and found that it was an email, opened it and found that it was a variety of charts, and then pushed it in front of Zhang Chi.
"The test data of the milk you want is here, a total of seven samples, and the test results are all here now, you can take your time."
As he spoke, Mei Shaka wanted to stand up with the teacup.
Zhang Chi stretched out his head and took a look, and found that he knew all the words, but he really didn't understand what they meant, what this value was and what it was.
Zhang Chi said in his heart: What's special, it's like a ghost drawing a talisman, where can this Lao Tzu see it.
Truly! There are too many data, what energy, protein, fat, cholesterol and so on Zhang Chi knows a little, but what thiamine, niacin, what Staphylococcus aureus.
If these things are not professional technicians, who will not be dizzy when they look at them, not to mention Zhang Chi, a guy who has not read for a few years, can be regarded as a diligent person who can read words, but it is obviously not enough to look at these professional data.
So Zhang Chi grabbed Merica, who was leaving, and took her directly to his lap.
"Come, give an explanation, don't let go if you don't explain."
After speaking, he stretched out his hand and gently patted his daughter-in-law's buttocks a few times.
Merika knew that Zhang Chi couldn't understand it, in fact, she couldn't understand most of them, but she still knew a little bit about the important items, such as proteins, fats, etc.
So Merica explained to Zhang Chi that the quality of the milk is very good, and even far exceeds the American standard in some important items.
The only pity is that the output is too small, and no matter how good it is, there will be no bargaining power without quantity.
The two of them are a little less childlike now, Zhang Chi is sitting on the sofa, and Merika is sitting on her husband's lap, which is somewhat ambiguous.
But they are two people with certificates, can you take care of it!
It's also a coincidence, Cannon's side just arrived at the door, and saw that the door was open (the door of Zhang Chi's house has not been closed much except in winter, it was like this before, and it is still like this now).
So Cannon came in with his feet up, and when he saw his two bosses, Cannon was not embarrassed, maybe he had seen too much, South American girls have always been famous for their enthusiasm, even if they are usually friends meet, they have to kiss the face, pick them up and gnaw around.
It's a little unhygienic, but it's really different from us Chinese.
“boss!”
Well!
Zhang Chi looked up at Cannon.
When Merica saw it, she generously stood up from Zhang Chi's lap and asked Cannon, "What's the matter?" ”
Cannon said, "The pumping machine is installed, do you want to go over and have a look?" ”
"So fast?" Zhang Chi felt a little surprised.
The machine was just shipped this morning, and the seller sent someone to install it.
It is mentioned here that the machine is not new, it is second-hand, the original seller raised dairy cows, the milk market this year is not very good, they sold their own pastures, and the buyers are ready to engage in some tourism, and the original dairy farm is only one set of things, and the rest are processed.
As for how Zhang Chi found someone, it was even simpler, they wanted to buy an automatic milking machine, and when they called and asked, the second-hand machine broker over there got the news.
And Zhang Chi here, the two of them went to see the goods, and found that the machine was very good, used at home, the protection of people was very good, and the professional team was asked to clean it before selling, except that it looked a little old on the outside, and there was a little bump on the jar containing milk, and everything else was very good.
Merica also liked it, and the price was right, only less than half of the new machine, so the two happily paid for the machine and ordered it.
Hearing Cannon's words, Zhang Chi and Merica followed Cannon towards the place where the milking machine was installed.
The milking machine was installed in a warehouse, which was originally intended to be used for grain, but now it has been empty, so it is simply used as a milking room.
The place is a little far from the cowshed, but it is not far, about two or three hundred meters, and it can be used.
There are three machines.
What does this thing look like?
You've seen a merry-go-round, and this thing is kind of like that.
It was an almost concentric circle, separated from the cow by iron partitions, and on the top of the machine there was a hook with a soft rubber tube hanging from the hook, and a breast pump head.
Drive the cow in, close the door, pull the pump tube down, and attach the head of the pump to the milk bottle, and it's done.
Cows can graze while milking, and people can let the cow go as long as they see the message of completion on their mobile phones.
In short, this thing is quite advanced, at least it liberates manpower.
By the time Cannon took Zhang Chi and Merica to the machine, two of the three breast pumps were already full of cows, each with about a dozen cows, and two with nearly thirty cows, happily eating hay.
The transparent container in the pump tube is slowly filled with milky milk, which then flows into several large metal milk buckets in the inner ring.
"So fast?"
Zhang Chi looked at the machine that had started and said happily.
"The machine was almost shipped directly, so it was naturally faster, and there was nothing wrong with debugging," Brian said and handed a document to Zhang Chi.
Zhang Chi took a look at it and found that it was the installation contract of the machine, which contained detailed installation steps, each of which was a process, just from the chart, you could find that sometimes if you come to the standard, the Americans are still very strict.
It's just that Zhang Chi also knows this kind of standard, just a standard standard, and there is no trouble for ordinary workers to install it for you.
Fortunately, these things, the cowboys will not fiddle, the structure is not complicated, and Lao Mei's hands-on ability is also strong, this is really not nonsense, the younger generation is okay, many middle-aged Americans can repair cars, and the level is much better than the workers in our mainland car repair factories.
After taking the document, Zhang Chi made a hook to prove that these steps were completed, and then returned the document to the installer.
The installer didn't talk much to Zhang Chi, took the signed documents, jumped into the car with his colleagues, and ran away with a puff of smoke, as if he was afraid that Zhang Chi would leave them to eat at the ranch.
All three machines were up to work, with Cannon and Brian acting as milkers, cleaning the bottles, then attaching the bottles to the bottles, and waiting for the machines to squeeze the set dose.
Zhang Chi can't be idle, because there is no such stubble in the work share, so Zhang Chi and Merika are thinking about whether to hire one or two more people.
However, Merica thought it was better to wait and see, wait for Nell's ranch to be taken down, and then find someone together.
So Zhang Chi followed Cannon to learn how to milk cows and how to operate these milking machines.
Fortunately, Zhang Chi is not stupid, and the machine is also simple, if it is too complicated, most of the cowboys with little culture, or workers in the west, will not need it.
Everyone thinks that Americans are quite knowledgeable and have a very high level of education, but in fact, this is not the case, the illiterate people in Americans, or the population who read this book and can't read a sentence, are more than the illiterate population in our country. If you look at the population base, you can see how much illiterate there is in the United States.
After learning and getting the job done, everyone went to milk the next cow after milking the next cow.
After a busy morning, I went back to the house to eat, and when I came back, I continued to work.
When the sun went down, the general had squeezed all the calves.
The milk was loaded into the car, and Zhang Chi had to send it to the dairy farm.
Originally, Zhang Chi expected people to come and pull it, but who knew that it was really said by Merika, the weight of his own ranch, people would not send a car to pull it at all, you can send them if you want to, you don't want to send it, and they don't care.
Zhang Chi can't help it, so much milk, it's three or four hundred kilograms a day, and he can't drink it even if he dies, so Zhang Chi has to send it to the milk company.
Three or four hundred kilograms of milk, in exchange for a loss of money, Zhang Chi felt that he didn't know if it was enough to pay for his own oil.
Milk is so cheap, cheaper than beef.
Zhang Chi, who was holding the money, was a little worried: Look, people don't even bother to write checks, and give cash directly!
