I don't know that the lynx was caught because of bad luck, and the previous enemy was caught, and before he died, he wanted to borrow a knife to kill people, and Zhang Lisheng, who planned to take him to Huangquan together, couldn't guess who would use the lynx as bait to lure himself to shoot.

After thinking about it, he could only make up his mind to pay attention, and in the future, he had to be more careful and cautious in driving the witch worm to attack, and he must break through to the realm of Lu Wu as soon as possible, master the power of transformation, get out of the trap of mortals, and have the power of self-preservation in the face of real strong enemies.

"Li Sheng, what are you doing in a daze, we are going to the dress store. ”

"Are you full?"

"Of course, you see that the dessert is all over. Tina shook the glass covered in creamy ice cream.

"Then let's go, have you been driving?"

"It's customary to have a chauffeur to go to the dress shop, and it's a battlefield for the ladies of New York. Tina said as she took out the phone from her handbag and pressed it twice, and in a moment a bright silver elongated 'Maybach' slowly drove up and stopped on the side of the road.

Immediately afterward, a driver in his mid-fifties, wearing a small blue bowler hat and a light blue uniform, ran out of the car and opened the back door facing Tina.

Tina, Xie Lia, and Tracy got up and got into the car, and Zhang Lisheng also got into the car after settling the account with a helpless expression.

The driver gently pushed the door open, turned back into the driver's seat, and started the car.

For men, the more tiring thing than accompanying a woman to try on a dress is undoubtedly to accompany three women to try on a dress, and also have to endure some strange women who they don't know at all and still think that they are secretive 'twitter' comments.

Three hours later, in the evening, Zhang Lisheng came out of a dress shop on the Upper West Side of Manhattan called 'Rice Country Beauty', took a breath of warm air, and said to Tina, who was physically and mentally satisfied, with a haggard expression: "This is the first time I have entered a dress store and the last time I have entered a dress store..."

"Good work, baby. Rest assured, I only have one adult birthday in my life, and you will never need to come again. Tina grinned and wrote a blank check, "It's hard work, where do you want to go to eat, I'll invite you." ”

"No, I promised my mother to come home for dinner tonight. ”

"Oh, I forgot, in addition to being my baby, you're also Mommy's 'good baby'. ”

Tina Doeglina shut up. ”

"OK, I'll stop if I say one more thing.

Let's get in the car. I'll take you back to Fifth Avenue to pick up your car. ”

"No, I want to take a walk, think about things, and go to dinner. Zhang Lisheng waved his hand and declined Tina's kindness. Turn around and take a stroll along the brightly lit boulevard.

In the days that followed, news spread throughout New York that the new port was about to be built, and as time passed, the slaughterhouse that Zhang Lisheng was still building suddenly became inexplicably hot.

It's Saturday again, and the early summer weather is very pleasant, and more and more songs of returning migratory birds are beginning to appear on the trees that have already sprouted green.

Because he had to attend the birthday party held by Tina and the three of them in the afternoon, it was just dawn in the morning, and Zhang Lisheng, who had practiced all night, listened to the birdsong. Carrying the toad on his back, he drove to the construction site of 'Muteslo'.

It was just over nine o'clock when he arrived at the construction site, and the young man stuffed the leftover pork pancakes that Lili had made last night in his mouth, and got out of the car, and saw that he was wearing a hard hat. Pinod, who was patrolling around the construction site, immediately ran over and greeted: "Good morning, Mr. Pinod." ”

"Good morning, Mr. Zhang Lisheng, have you come to see your workshop again?" Rest assured, it's ready to be built in no time, and after a maximum of ten days, you'll be ready to ship into the machine. ”

"The progress of the work on the report is similar to what you said, but Mr. Pinod, I don't even see a half-meter-high workshop here, and I really can't imagine that this is what the first phase of the project is about to be completed. Zhang Lisheng pointed to the bare ground and said.

"The biggest difficulty of this project was to dig a solid trench and lay the foundation, and as for the workshop, it could be built in less than two days as long as it was poured with cement blocks. ”

"It's amazing. ”

"The workshop you want is only one floor...

Forget Mr. Zhang, as long as you know the way, your factory will be able to operate soon. ”

Zhang Lisheng nodded, "After the first phase is completed, will you immediately continue to build the second phase?"

"Yes, the contract is signed for three phases, the largest is the first phase, and the remaining two phases..."

As Pinod was talking, suddenly a dirty, colorless, typical rice-style muscle pickup truck drove into the construction site.

When the pickup stopped, a white man with a beard and a cowboy hat sticking out of the high driver's seat said, "Hey guys, who's the head here?"

"Shit, is it a glut of some construction company's union," Pinod muttered, beckoning, "I am, I'm the engineering manager here, sir." ”

"Hi Mr. Manager, hello.

I heard that a large livestock slaughterhouse is being built near 'Muteslo', is this it?" the cowboy stepped out of the car, a full 195 centimeters in size, with a stout body, and his big leather boots with spurs made a slight 'zz) sound on the concrete floor, and strode up to Pinold.

"Yes. ”

"Can you help me get in touch with the owner of this factory, I'm Jonah Hammulton, a farmer at Hammolton Farms in California, and I'd like to talk to him about business. ”

"I am Zhang Lisheng, the owner of this new slaughterhouse, what business do you want to talk to me, Mr. Hammerton?"

The cowboy was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Zhang Lisheng carefully, "You are really a young factory owner, of course, I can't actually see the age of Asians...

Oh, I said too much, sorry I didn't mean anything else, just a simple explanation, it's nice to meet you, Mr. Zhang. He stretched out his hand and shook it vigorously.

"It's okay, I understand what you mean.

If you have something to say, please speak up. Zhang Lisheng put the painful hand behind his back, slowly moved his fingers and said.

"Okay, Mr. Zhang, I want to sign a long-term livestock slaughtering contract with you..."

"You're thinking too long, Mr. Hammolton, your farm is in California, and we'll talk about it when New York Newport opens..."

"By the time New Port opens in New York, your slaughterhouse will have already been booked out by farmers in villages and towns near New York City. ”

"I don't want to lie to you, Mr. Hammoreton, my situation here may not be as rosy as you think.

Recently, I found that my self-slaughtering fee of 50 yuan for a pig, 150 yuan for a cow, and 40 yuan for a sheep seems to have become difficult for people to accept. ”

"It's not cheap for slaughterhouses in other cities, but it's fair for slaughterhouses near New York City.

The cost of running a slaughterhouse here is bound to be higher, and New York City's abundant consumer base of high-end meat can guarantee that fresh and good meat will sell for a higher price than elsewhere, not to mention that the agricultural tax supplement can offset some of your markup. Hammerton said with a smile.

The most common channel for the sale of fresh meat in the United States is the supermarket counter, and the supermarkets in the big cities of the United States are roughly divided into three types according to different communities, the common ones are ordinary supermarkets, with complete goods and daily necessities at various brand prices;

The other is the so-called 'civilian supermarket', with a single product brand, it pays attention to cheap and affordable, and of course, the quality can be basically guaranteed;

The latter is the luxury supermarket of the noble community, into which the price of goods is jaw-dropping to the ordinary middle class, and in the case of raw meat, the seemingly similar pieces of meat in the same supermarket can sometimes differ in price by three times, not to mention the price difference between different grade supermarkets.

And to distinguish whether a piece of raw meat is sold at a high price, or disposed of for one or two meters and a pound, in addition to the different breeds of livestock, the most critical thing is the time it is put on the shelf.

No matter how fresh frozen meat looks, it is bound to be sold at a very low price, whereas in New York, fresh meat is delivered to the city in no more than three hours after being slaughtered, and it does not make its way to the supermarket at all, but is simply sold out by various high-end restaurants.

Therefore, it can be said that the only way to conquer the high-end meat market in a metropolis like New York in the United States is the words 'quality' and 'freshness'.

As the country's largest farming state, the quality of California's livestock is undoubtedly guaranteed, but the freshness cannot compete with the farms near New York City.

But now, by coincidence, a solution to this problem has emerged: unobstructed shipping and a slaughterhouse adjacent to the seaport.

Of course, even so, the cost of producing the same fresh raw meat into New York is undoubtedly much higher for California farmers than for local New York farmers, but it is still profitable and meaningful.

Zhang Lisheng ran the slaughterhouse as a shopkeeper, and he was ignorant, so he naturally couldn't figure out the joints, but he heard Hammolton agree with his pricing, and said casually: "I didn't expect it to be a farmer in New York, and I understand the difficulties of my business..."

"I understand your difficulties, and I can relieve them for you, Mr. Zhang.

According to your price of 50 meters for pigs, 150 meters for cattle, and 40 meters for sheep, I can now sign a contract with you to slaughter 10,000 cattle, 20,000 pigs, and 15,000 sheep every year, what do you think?"

"Oh, but me, my slaughterhouse is self-help..."

"Of course, the workers are out of me, and you only go out of the field and the machines.

30% down post, after signing the contract, I can immediately transfer to your account, the balance of the slaughter of a batch of livestock, pay once, instant transaction, never default. ”

"Oh, oh, that's, it's, it's quite a good deal, it looks like I'm going to have a phone call with my 'business consultant', please wait. Zhang Lisheng was very stunned by the good conditions of the California farmer, he thought about it, hid a few steps away, took out his mobile phone and dialed Tina's number. (To be continued.) )
