Alpine pasture

Chapter 404 Research Institute
When he woke up in the morning, Ju An lifted the blanket over his stomach, stretched out, and saw that Wang Fan on the other bed had been wrapped in the blanket and rolled into a ball. Wang Fan kicked at the bedside: "Get up soon, let's go back in the morning".

"Yeah!" Wang Fan stretched his head out of the blanket, then hummed at Ju An, and retracted his brain into the blanket again: "Let me sleep for a while, I got a little insomnia last night when I changed the bed."

Ju An shook his head, brushed his teeth by the pool in his room, wiped his face, and walked to the door and opened the door. It was still a little cold in the morning, and the workers had already started to get busy, digging the ground. When digging the ground, several excavators are also rumbling to work, and two cowboys have reached the edge of the sheep, riding a four-wheel-drive motorcycle to drive the sheep outside.The roar of the machine in front of him was mixed with the bleating of the sheep and the barking of the shepherd dog. It was a busy and lively scene.

Went outside and stretched, and greeted the people he met. Ju An ran over to the pond where he was pouring water, and checked the nearby plants. The plants that had not been gnawed did not change much. After gnawing, the plants with exposed taproots and lateral roots have begun to close their mouths, and the gnawed piece has slowly shrunk and has a light green color. It seems that it will take a long time to grow stems and leaves.

Ju An was squatting on the ground and looking at the plant, Leonard came over and squatted down beside Ju An: "It's time to grow the stem when this piece turns green."The old man explained to Ju An by fiddling with the soil next to the plants that had been eaten away by the sheep.After speaking, he asked, "Are you going to leave today?".

Nodding his head, Ju An looked up and looked around: "Well, I've finished watching it here. I'm going to go back to California in the morning, and I'll take the plane back to Montana tomorrow morning. What else can you ask for?" .

The old man waved his hand to Ju An and said, "I don't have any requirements. If there are requirements, it can't be done in a while. I'll just wait for the house on the ranch to be built, and then I'll move the things in the laboratory."

"Are you planning to live here? Then you won't study the pasture in Montana?" Ju An looked at the old man and said strangely.

Leonard waved his hand and said, "I don't live there. I'll just move the lab back when the thickness and fern here are about the same size. To be honest, there is really no clue about pasture research." The old man sighed.

Ju An smiled: "It's not tiring to carry things back and forth. Just buy a truck with a large trailer, and you can directly drag the test equipment around, so it is convenient to carry."What Ju An was talking about was the kind of thing that dragged like a big truck like a container, and it could be transformed into a laboratory old man to run back and forth more conveniently.

After thinking for a while, he said to Leonard: "Next year, no! Or a little later this year, you and Lehman will quickly set up the shelf of the Animal and Plant Research Company. Now I don't have much investment in a year. 1000 million dollars per year can still be guaranteed, Lehman is responsible for new breeds of livestock, you are responsible for the cultivation of pasture and other plants, let’s take a smaller step first, and invest more when we have more money.”Ju An had this idea in his mind before, and he was going to work on some new breeds. The breed of cattle would have to see if gray cattle would perform better when mated with other breeds of cattle. As for pasture, that would be incidental.

The old man Leonard nodded happily after hearing this: "A few years ago, 1000 million per year was already a lot, so we can invite a few more animal husbandry experts to come over and it will be convenient for everyone to study."

Ju An joked with a smile: "1000 million is not a budget for salary, it is a budget for everyone's salary plus research funds for a year. If it is not enough, I will not allocate any more funds. Also, don't expect this company to go public." Going public to collect money is not within the scope of Ju'an's consideration. If it goes public, many hands will be stretched out, and it will be too many constraints for me. Ju'an is really not interested.

Leonard shook his head and said with a smile: "The annual funding of 1000 million U.S. dollars is enough for the research of bovine plants. This research is not only about investment, but also about perseverance. A new species requires at least ten million dollars." For the next year's cultivation, the input package for the first year does not include the investment in construction."

After listening to it, Ju An said with a smile and joking: "How much money can a building cost, don't think about high-rise buildings, a dozen bungalows will do."

"Enough is enough, then I have to discuss with Lehman about where to set up the research institute and how to divide the funds," Leonard said to Ju An.

Ju An thought for a while: "I suggest that it should be located in Lewistown. After all, it is close to the Xishuihe pasture. The land in the town is also cheaper, and the cattle pasture is relatively close. It is too inconvenient to locate it elsewhere. Lewistown was converted into a two-story concrete building.”

Leonard said with a smile: "Of course it is in Lewiston, but I am considering whether to build a research institute in the town or buy a piece of land near the pasture to build a research institute. After all, 1000 million dollars is enough to buy dozens of acres of wasteland." .

"Think about this for yourself, and then discuss it with the accountant." Ju An patted her thigh and stood up, letting out a sigh of relief. As long as the accountant looks at it and decides on the company's articles of association, then there is nothing to worry about, just be afraid Without the charter, if you scratch your head and think about it, then the 1000 million will be troublesome.

Seeing Ju An standing up, the old man Leonard also stood up: "This is of course, a newly established company must also have company rules and regulations, so next year will be much more busy, and I can also look at the funding. Invite two more biologists over."

"1000 million!" Ju An raised a finger in front of the old man, shook it and reminded with a smile: "This is the only number, is there more, but the research funds for you and Lehman are all included in the mu yield." .

Leonard pressed Ju An's finger down: "Understood, is it more than 1000 million, your 1000 million is more than the entire animal husbandry investment in my university, don't worry, remember what you said about 1000 million a year Ten thousand".

Ju An nodded: "What you say is what you say."1000 million a year can not only study new breeds of livestock, but also get a shiny shield. If there are more professors, there will be more shields, right?It's not a waste of money.

The two were talking when the assistant recruited by old man Leonard came over. Ju An listened to Wang Fan's speech yesterday, and at this time he paid a little attention. The girl whose butt was facing Ju An was really good. With big eyes, the old man followed a few assistants to say hello, and the old man and a few people threw himself on the plant again.

When Ju An returned to the house, Wang Fan had already sat on the edge of the bed. Seeing that Wang Fan was in a daze, he asked, "Why are you still in a daze? Quickly brush your teeth and finish breakfast. Let's go back."

Wang Fan twisted his shoulders: "Let me wake up and wake up, I just woke up and rushed, like a life-threatening ghost. What are you rushing? It's a five-hour road, and I climbed it in a day."After speaking, he stood up and walked towards the pool.

Seeing Wang Fan's languid body swaying towards the edge of the pool as if he had no bones, Ju An shook his head and simply pushed open the door and filled in the five internal organs first.

After arriving at the simple canteen, I finished my breakfast and ate a little something. The breakfast was really not to my liking. After eating a little, I went out. As soon as I walked out of the canteen, I saw several pickup trucks lined up towards the simple room. Driving over here, some with ladders behind them, and some people are still sitting in the trunk of the truck, it is estimated that they are the workers who came to build the house.

Ju An raised his leg and walked over. At this time, Rand also walked out of the house and walked to Ju An's side and said to Ju An, "This is the first batch of workers who came to build the dormitory of the ranch."As soon as the words fell, the car stopped a few meters away.

As soon as the car stopped, an old Mo with a yellow hard hat jumped out of the car, and then greeted the people in the car: "Guys, get down, start work, start work."

After he finished speaking, he went to Rand and stretched out his hand: "Rand, my people are all here, let's start work today."

Rand followed the old Mo and shook hands, then stretched out his hand to introduce: "Ben! Our boss, Ann".

Lao Mo stretched out his hand to Ju An: "Thank you, sir, for choosing my company, don't worry, our work is absolutely good. If you need anything in the future, you can contact me directly. You can see the quality this time. ".After he finished speaking, he handed Ju An a business card.

Ju An shook hands, then took the business card, glanced at it, and put it in his pocket: "Okay."Many Mexican descendants here do construction. The price is about [-]% lower than that of white companies, and the work is not bad. Of course, all the buildings in this ranch in Ju'an are worth the one-year old Mexican. The amount of work has been exhausted, and the current economic situation is not easy to handle.

After Ju An said a few words, he led the workers to the location of the dormitory, spread out the drawings on a pile of wood, and followed a few workers to say something.

Rand looked at Ju An and looked at these old Mos with a smile and said, "Their work is very good. They built many of Kingman's houses. They went back this morning?".

Ju An nodded: "I understand everything I need to know, and you take care of the rest."Watching Leonard wandering around the grass all day, he didn't have the energy to care about other things, and he had to watch Rand, the ranch manager, for this quality.

Rand nodded and said to Ju An: "Don't worry, I will watch it every day."

"Then go ahead and do your own thing. After a while, my friend will be ready and we will set off," Ju An said to Rand.I can rest assured that these things are handed over to Rand Ju'an. The construction team is bound by the contract, and will not give Rand money to fool the quality. It is impossible for Rand to collect money for the construction team to do a tofu project. Management of such a ranch can be done until it can't be done. Compared with this position, the construction team can't send much money even if it is sent. It still risks going to jail, and the cost is too high.

It's not like in Ju'an Middle School, when the construction team gave the principal some money, and the teaching building dared to fool you. After only three years of use, a big gap came out, and in the end it was fine.

At this time, Wang Fan came over and said to Ju An, "Let's go, go to Jinman for breakfast, there is nothing to eat this morning except eggs."Like Ju An, Wang Fan is also a master who loves no meat.

After listening to Wang Fan's words, Ju An nodded, the two of them packed up a little, got into the Mercedes-Benz, and drove towards Jinman.
