My courtyard shelter

The heavy snow in Sydney lasted for half a month.

Perhaps because it was close to summer, the snowstorm was not as serious as imagined. In comparison, the situation in China was not optimistic.

In fact, it was not just China, the entire northern hemisphere was covered in ice and snow. From the current point of view, this round of snowstorms was much more severe than the previous two years.

It seems that the Great Ice Age was not just a joke.

Affected by the disaster, Europe and the Americas fell into turmoil again. All signs showed that all parties were actively preparing for war, and the war seemed to be coming back.

After the heavy snow stopped, Dabao took all the employees to clean the farm again before the school resumed.

The poultry and livestock at home were ready.

They could be shipped tomorrow.

There were more than 200 chickens, ducks and geese, more than 100 rabbits, five sheep, three sika deer, and more than a dozen pairs of pigeons.

"Squad leader, squad leader, come out and take a look."

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Just as Dabao was about to take a break, he heard his classmates shouting outside the door, and he immediately ran out of the office.

"The growers in our company blocked the gate, and they insisted that you go out and give an explanation."

Dabao replied subconsciously: "Where is Lao Liu?"

"Isn't Uncle Liu..."

"Okay, I'll go out and take a look."

Dabao waved his hand and turned to walk towards the gate. Lao Liu had just left two days ago, and he hadn't had time to recruit a new deputy director.

Or just wait for Niuniu's father to come.

At the gate of the farm, the growers saw Boss Xiao Xu coming out and quickly surrounded him.

"Boss Xu, are you still collecting hay?"

"I heard that all your cows died?"

"Boss Xu, you can't just leave us alone, can you? In order to keep the hay, we not only bought batteries at a high price, but also burned a lot of coal for heating. You can't let honest people lose money!"

"Yes, yes, your company should be responsible."

Dabao immediately waved his hand to calm everyone down: "Everyone, stop arguing. I won't ignore everyone. We will solve problems one by one."

"Boss Xu, are all the cows really gone?"

"Indeed." Dabao sighed, "I won't hide this from you. Because of the lightning strike, all the cows were electrocuted to death. Not a single one was left."

"The rumor is actually true..."

"What should we do?"

The crowd immediately exploded.

"Listen to me, although all the cows died, our Baochuan Farm will not go bankrupt. Starting tomorrow, the company will resume purchasing forage grass."

"Really?"

"I'm here, how could I lie to you?" Dabao patted his chest.

"Still the original price?"

"Yes, but there will be no more milk. I hope you can understand."

"I understand, as long as the farm doesn't close down."

Although everyone was a little disappointed, compared to getting nothing, these are acceptable.

Grandpa Wang immediately sang the red face: "I told you a long time ago that Boss Xu is a top student at Sydney University, not an irresponsible profiteer."

"It's not easy for us either, we have parents and children to take care of."

"Boss Xu, we apologize to you, you are a generous person, please don't be so mean to us!"

Everyone was afraid that the other party would take back the contract of the growers.

"Don't worry, everyone." Dabao waved his hand. "It's all my fault for misjudgment. The farm suffered such a huge loss, and you were also frightened. Let's all be considerate of each other."

"Yes, yes, yes, let's be considerate of each other."

Grandpa Wang carefully probed: "Boss Xiao Xu, what are the plans for the farm next? If you have financial difficulties, it's not impossible to settle the accounts together at the end of the year."

Thanks to his father, the dozen cows were sold at a high price, and a total of more than 63 million yuan was recovered, averaging 3,000 yuan per catty of beef.

In addition to the ten cows left by his family.

Dad simply transferred him 100 million.

After deducting all costs and various foreign debts owed, the cattle farm made a full 60 million in just one year.

If analyzed only from the perspective of return on investment, it is undoubtedly a great success.

But this success is full of bitterness.

It also gave him a deeper understanding of business.

A classmate at the side helped to add: "Next, our farm will not raise dairy cows, but other poultry and livestock instead. You don't have to worry about not being able to sell the grass."

"Boss Xu, is this true?"

"Really." Dabao nodded, "Although the farm has no milk, it will have chicken and duck eggs. The benefits will not change. The specific exchange conditions will be announced in a while."

"Pa pa pa..."

"Great!"

There was warm applause at the scene.

After the applause stopped, Dabao continued to announce:

"Don't be too happy, I have another good news to tell you. When you go back, please tell others for me."

Everyone held their breath instantly.

"Didn't all the dairy cows die before? I specially left five for everyone. The total weight of meat and bones is more than 6,000 kilograms. The company is willing to sell them to everyone at cost price to compensate for your losses during this period."

Dabao didn't keep it a secret.

Uncle Wang was surprised and said, "Can you really buy meat?"

"The beef has been divided and is stored in the company's warehouse. The price of beef is 2,000 yuan per kilogram, and it can also be paid with grass."

Dabao played a trick here.

In fact, the cost price of beef is just over 1,000 yuan. The "cost" of 2,000 yuan includes the breeding investment in the past year and the construction cost of the breeding farm.

As soon as the voice fell, a warm cheer rang out again at the scene, and this time it lasted longer, for several minutes.

"Mr. Xu, is there a limit on the purchase of beef?"

"Of course, each household is limited to one portion, weighing about three pounds, which is not a lot. At most, it is for the elderly and children at home to taste."

"Three pounds is already a lot."

"Yeah, I haven't been so extravagant during the Chinese New Year."

"Don't mention it. In the past few years, during the Chinese New Year, I could get some oil and water. In recent years, I haven't seen even a hair of pig. It's just some potatoes and cabbage."

"Mr. Xu is righteous."

Dabao smiled reservedly: "Okay, everyone, don't flatter me. Even if you flatter me, there will be no extra beef. Don't block my door. Hurry up and take the news back. The beef will be officially on sale tomorrow."

"Mr. Xu, can you sell meat today?"

Uncle Wang suddenly pleaded.

Beef is a good thing. Of course, it's better to buy it early and feel at ease. In addition, buying it early will give you more choices.

Fat meat is much more valuable than lean meat and bones.

"Uncle, do you have money?"

"No, but the hay at home is almost piled up like a mountain. I will send a truckload of hay here tomorrow. I will refund you if you have more or make up for less."

"Yes, I will refund you if you have more or make up for less."

The farmers echoed one after another.

Dabao saw that everyone was impatient, so he followed their wishes:

"Okay, then put it in the account first."

"Long live Boss Xu!"

The atmosphere on the scene reached its climax.

...

After a while, everyone lined up in front of the warehouse door regardless of the cold.

A total of more than 500 people came this time.

Dabao shouted loudly with a megaphone: "Those whose names are read, go in and pick a cardboard box directly. You are not allowed to open it. The amount of beef is almost the same. Don't regret it if you choose it. The quality depends on your luck."

"Isn't this the blind box we played before?"

"Well said, this is a blind box, and it is also the fairest solution, so as not to hurt everyone's harmony.

I can assure you that there is meat and bones in each box. The difference is actually very small. No one can take advantage of it, nor can they suffer a big loss."

Dabao explained patiently.

"This method is good!"

"Oh, I should have brought my second child here earlier. He has always had good luck. He won 3,000 yuan in the lottery last year!"

"Then come back tomorrow?"

"Do you think I'm stupid? What if there is not enough to share tomorrow? Will you accompany me?"

The farmers talked about it.

At the same time as everyone was disappointed, they couldn't help but show a trace of relief. In the face of interests, only a few people are willing to take a gamble. Most people would rather play it safe.
