Alpine pasture

Chapter 603 A Pot of Cold Water

Arriving at the door of the office, the helicopter stopped. Ju An wobbled open the door of the office with small square steps. He stretched his head to see that there was no one inside. He walked to the conference table and pulled a chair. Thinking of making a call to Thomas, I touched my pants pocket, okay!I didn’t bring my mobile phone. Fortunately, this is the ranch office. My boss also has a desk. When I pushed open the door of the office I had seen once, Ju An picked up the phone and Thomas dialed it, telling the old man that he was already in the office. up.

After hanging up the phone, Ju An quickly slipped out. Although someone often cleaned it, the house that had been left unattended for more than a year seemed to have a smell, which made me feel very uncomfortable, so I honestly pulled a chair and sat beside the conference table Better.

The two old men, Thomas and Lawrence, returned to the ranch office after almost half an hour. As soon as they entered the door, they hung their cowboy hats on the shelf in the room, turned their heads and smiled at Ju An and said, "We thought you were nine I won’t be here until after midnight, I didn’t expect to come so early, Lawrence and I went to see the cattle just now.”

"I have nothing to do, so I came here early." Ju An said with a smile, resting his hands on the table, and then thought of his office and said to the two old men: "My office smells bad, I haven't squatted once in the past few years. Take another room."

Lawrence directly pulled up a chair and sat next to Ju An, Thomas rushed to the coffee machine, each made a cup of coffee and brought them over.

Ju An took the coffee cup, feeling a little hot, scratched the small tray below with his fingers, looked at Thomas and the two old men and asked with a smile, "Are you planning to repair the fence again? The fence over there was damaged or what?" of?".

Lawrence shook his head: "Now all the fences on the ranch have been replaced, and there will be no maintenance on the fences for at least ten years, unless someone directly hits them with a pickup truck. This time it's about Norman. His breed of cattle can basically start small-scale production. We are discussing whether to continue to add another pasture, or to transfer the cattle to Hans pasture first, and let Norman tell you when he comes.”

"Didn't you say that we have to wait a year or two to observe?" Ju An murmured softly after listening to Lawrence's words, what the hell are these people doing.

Thomas sat down, smiled and said to Ju An: "Then let's talk about the situation of the ranch first?".Looking at Ju An, the old man nodded and continued: "The cattle in the pasture are close to full capacity now, and there are nearly three gray cattle per acre of land on average. I discussed it with Lawrence, and the current density is fine. In this way The cattle can also migrate a little bit, so that the pastures have a recovery period."

Hearing what the old man said, Ju An did some calculations and said to the two old men, "There are nearly 10,000+ cows in the ranch now? Are there so many?".After speaking, he looked at the two old men and blinked their eyes.

The two old men smiled and said: "Of course not now, the gray cows are only a little over [-], and the rest are white cows. There have been too many heifers in recent years, and the number of cows born every year is almost at the end of the year." More than half of all the calves, even half of them, can occupy the pasture within five years, and we will slaughter the little gray cows, and then we will experience the pain of happiness ".

At this time, Lawrence asked Ju An with a wry smile: "How is Leonard's forage research going? If it can be expanded, we can expand the pasture. Otherwise, it is really distressing to slaughter the heifer. Don’t urge him either, just let him finish the research on our forage within five years.”

Ju An listened to the painful expression on his face: "Now it is said that it is the unique soil and the unique climate. Anyway, no other place can do it. Leonard will drive himself crazy if he continues to study, and you Don’t look at it that way, the price can only be stabilized if the quantity is small, and the slaughter of heifers is also a last resort.”But I was thinking in my heart, it’s not that Leonard couldn’t research it, it’s because my buddies didn’t let him research it. If this can be grown anywhere, how can other ranches live? It is covered with space grass, and the gray cattle can reproduce in about a year. At this speed, in less than 20 years, all the beef in American supermarkets will be Xishuihe brand!

Not to mention whether people will doubt it, but your posture is ready to toss other people's ranches to death. Controlling the entire American beef market sounds cool. Let alone control all of it, it means controlling half of it. The White House is worried all day long. Now, if you stop the supply, half of the Americans will have no beef to eat, and the president can be woken up by you in his dreams at night!

It is estimated that before you can control it, an anti-monopoly law will draw you in. When the time comes to split up, the giants with big mouths will directly tie their napkins around their necks and wave their forks in their hands. Look, which industry in the United States is now controlled by a family!The consortia have long been the first to form communism within the consortium, and everyone exchanged shares with each other. The era of being able to tolerate the Rothschild family is gone forever.

This is the way it is now, direct to the high-end market, no more, no less, the price is extremely expensive, and the profit is extremely high, so why bother to touch the high-voltage line at the risk of being smashed to pieces.Isn't it good to just collect money?

While the three were talking, Norman walked in. Seeing that Ju An was already chatting with Thomas and Lawrence, he said hello and sat down with a cup, and then began to complain to Ju An: "Thomas and Lawrence are going to relocate my beef cattle. I just calculated the approximate income here. They said that there is no place for this kind of cattle in the ranch. The quality of the meat is not good and the profit is too low."

Ju An watched the two old men laugh and thought to himself, I said why the two old men told me that the pasture was saturated as soon as they sat down. It turned out that they wanted Norman's big beef cattle to leave.

Lawrence smiled and said to Norman: "There is no advantage in raising your beef cattle with the grass of Xishuihe Ranch. Beef cattle of this quality must adapt to ordinary pasture. Even the facilities of Wusong and Teddy Ranch are a bit extravagant." Yes, if you move away earlier, you will find out the problem of your beef cattle earlier, we are also considering this for your project."

"I know that Thomas and you look down on my beef cattle, but his significance is much greater than that of gray cattle. If the breeding is successful, the pastures with the same conditions, using our large beef cattle, will be more profitable than most pastures now. The number of ordinary cattle has increased by about ten percent," Norman said to the three people in Ju An.

Thomas smiled and asked: "Can you have one-third of the current white bull's profit?".This sentence stunned Norman's question, he shook his head after thinking for a while and said, "Forget it, I'd better move."After speaking, he spread his hands to Ju An and the others, with a look of helplessness on his face.

When Ju An heard it, the final calculated profit of raising beef cattle was only about [-]% more, and suddenly he lost interest.Dude has always been a good boss who claims to be loved by his employees. Your [-]% is probably just enough to give the ranch cowboys a salary increase. After a year of relationship busy, only buddy, the boss, has been busy for a year. After a year of hard work, he is just like other small ranchers!Just looking at it is a big industry, all of them are millions of millions, but I don’t have much cash on hand, is this reasonable?
Scratching his head, he sighed to Norman and Thomas and said, "I was planning to open a ranch and raise beef cattle by myself, but your 20.00% profit is like a basin of cold water." It poured directly on my head!".This Ju’an is telling the truth, the profit is slightly higher, about 3000% more than other cattle’s profits, Ju’an can do it by itself, the United States is a bit more expensive, so you can go to Australia, it’s not possible Canada is not bad either. Such a big place has a population of just over [-] million. It is such a waste. As soon as this [-]% comes out, it will be overkill.

Norman said to Ju An: "Even if you don't raise it on your own ranch, selling cattle breeds can be regarded as a lot of income, so I came to you today to buy a small ranch. It doesn't need much, [-] acres will do. , and then the irrigation must be guaranteed as the breeding and breeding base of the biological research company in the future. It is estimated that it will be difficult to find a piece of land in the Xishuihe Ranch in the future."

That's easy!It's only [-] acres, so Ju An nodded, "Alright then, please pay attention to where there is land for sale, and tell me if the price is right."

As if conjuring, Norman took out a few pieces of paper from his pocket and handed them to Ju An: "I've been optimistic about a few pieces in the past two days."

Ju An took the paper from Norman and flipped through it. There are two or three lands in total, one of which is more than 3000 acres, the other is nearly 2000 acres, and the other is too small, only more than 2000 acres, and the price is different. It’s not big, the upper house with more than [-] acres is better, and it looks like it’s used for vacation. Ju An pointed to the largest piece and asked, “Where is this piece of land?”.

"It's a few minutes' drive north of the town, and it's a [-]-minute drive from the biological company." Norman looked up at Ju An and said.

"What do you think of this land?" Ju An looked at Norman and asked, he didn't know anything else, but Ju An knew that the price of the land in Montana was pretty close, and there was nothing out of the ordinary. Buying it was not considered profitable. deficit.

Norman nodded and said, "It looks good to me, and I prefer this one."

"That's him." Ju An stretched out his hand and flicked on the paper to settle the matter. It's only less than [-] acres. It's not worthwhile for Ju An to raise his legs to see it. Norman and the others think it's good. Anyway, it won't be in the future You need to use it at home, and the biological company uses it for itself.

"Is there anything else? If there is nothing else, I will go back." Ju An turned his head around and scanned the faces of the three people, and then made an excuse for himself: "I just came back last night, and now I am going to Go back and rest."

Both Lawrence and Thomas shook their heads and said, "We don't have anything else here."

Instead, Norman continued to say to Ju An: "I have something else to do here!".
