Text Chapter 506: Even Bought and Packaged

The two had already reached an image in a simple chat, and for Huoerjim, this troublesome matter was settled. He really didn't want to stay in this sad place, and took his daughter back to his hometown to live a good life and heal his wounds.

Zhou Jiexi was also very satisfied with this farm, so he turned his head and said to Atwood: "The Stream Farm is indeed very good, old man, it seems that your vision is still so sharp. Hehehe..." He also laughed stand up.

The old cowboy is also very useful for such flattering words. It is human nature to like beautiful things, and liking to be praised is no exception. Anyway, this thing is not worth much, Zhou Jiexi feels that it can be used as much as possible.

Atwood paused for a moment and asked, "Boss, do you plan to ask for some of the cattle from Stream Farm?" He was a little careful, after all, it was a big expense. If you really want to buy it, the price is not less than buying this farm.

At this time, the few people walked to the bullpen, a row of cowpens erected on the grassland. Some of the cattle were divided and locked in. These are the beef cattle for Holjim’s friends. Now we need to select some of them, so that they can be transported away directly when their people come.

After thinking about it, Zhou Jiexi nodded, "Well, we're going to buy them anyway, I think the beef cattle from Xiliu Farm look great, you're a professional, and you've been here a few times, what do you think of them? "

Atwood nodded seriously. He has been very familiar with this place for several times. The boss is rich and interested in buying a farm. Of course, he has made a special inspection. "The beef cattle at Stream Farm are very good. There is no doubt about it. I think it is worth spending money to buy cows and calves that are less than two years old. Buying some steers is basically enough."

"Old man, you are going to empty out the essence of Mr. Jim's farm!" Zhou Jiexi said with a smile: "But I like it!"

Atwood knew a little about his boss's family, and this kind of wordless jokes was really what Zhou Jiexi liked. "Boss, our farm now has more than 20,000 cows, and there are more than 1,500 bulls. Adding more than 9,000 calves, of which bulls account for one-third, excluding the current fixed consumption of western restaurants, early next year There will be a batch of cattle that can be considered for slaughter."

"We can expand the number of western restaurants. It's a serious waste of this beef to go to the bull market. As long as the restaurant's reputation is publicized, our beef will also be famous. Hehe..." Zhou Jiexi smiled proudly He said, "At that time, let alone the purchase price of US$1.25 per pound, I will not even pay the price of US$12.5 per pound."

"We are able to integrate production and marketing ourselves. According to the price given by the farm to western restaurants, a cow, regardless of part, costs between 15 and 20 dollars per pound. This is an internal price, and others can only get higher , the price will only be more expensive after removing the offal.”

"This beef is for those who want it. If you don't try to increase the price, it really doesn't reflect the specialness of our farm! We have a movie in Tianchao that has a sentence, I really like it." Zhou Jiexi looked at Atwood looking forward to it. "That's 'don't buy the best, only buy the most expensive!' What do you think!"

Atwood was stunned for a moment. He couldn't understand this kind of nouveau riche's thinking at all. Even in a country where capitalism is rampant, people would not spend money stupidly. "From the seller's point of view, this is definitely a good consumer, but it's not the best. It makes me think it's a waste of our farm's beef for them to eat!"

"Hehe... old buddy, as long as they give you money, these are small problems!" Zhou Jiexi waved his hand indifferently, the rich and upstarts are really the best customers of luxury consumer manufacturers.

Looking at the cattle and sheep in this area, Zhou Jiexi carefully calculated an account. One kilogram is greater than or equal to 2.3 pounds, that is, one catty of beef is 1.15 pounds. It is probably floating forward at 17 US dollars, and if it is converted into Chinese currency, it is more than 100 yuan per catty, which is cheap.

However, this is the price based on the sale of the whole cow, including offal, which is the offal. This is the price Zhou Jiexi offered to his western restaurant.

Although they are all under the same boss, the accounts are kept separately. In this way, how much money both parties have earned, whether it is a profit or a loss, is also clear. A cow usually weighs about 1,000 pounds on a farm, a female about 100 pounds, and a bull about 1,300 pounds. The weight of the cattle on his farm is of course not too high.

Zhou Jiexi sold a cow for about 40,000 US dollars, and what he spent raising this cow seemed to be only the cowboys' wages and the pitiful property tax.

As for the food and drink of the cattle, the farm has its own pasture, as well as the corn, rice stalks and wheat stalks provided by the plantation. Only the self-sufficient basics can meet the needs. Even if they buy feed outside, the farm also sells some of the old grass. Compared with the money for buying feed, the money is really insignificant, almost negligible.

Zhou Jiexi counted with his fingers. Selling a cow by himself is almost a net profit. The cheapest one is 20,000 US dollars, ten is 200,000, one hundred is two million, and one thousand is your sister's. That's twenty million dollars. Zhou Jiexi now has more than 30,000 cows, and can produce 10,000 calves every year.

Thousands of cows can be slaughtered in almost a year, and this is still the case when some cows are left. Let go of buying and selling 10,000 a year is not a problem. You can get at least 200 million U.S. dollars by selling cattle a year. After deducting some capital investment, there will be a net profit of 200 million US dollars. Of course, this is when there is a tax refund.

Now he buys tens of thousands more, and the ready-made cattle are almost ready for slaughter. Even if you can’t sell the cattle on your own farm at such a high price, but cross-complementing, it’s worth 15 dollars a pound!

He is very confident in his own beef. It can't compare to those top-grade wagyu beef, and it can't compare to ordinary high-end beef. And speaking of his beef, compared with wagyu, it also has a special flavor, that is, there is a trace of vitality in the space.

It tastes better to ordinary people, and it can cover up the problem of ordinary cattle breeds. This will also make other people think that Zhou Jiexi's farm has special breeding methods, or uses some special food materials. In short, safety first, this is his idea.

"Okay then, this matter is decided like this. You can chat with Jim first, and when Harvey, David and the asset appraisal organization come, we will start the acquisition negotiation after we get the answer." Zhou Jiexi made the decision. A decision was made directly.

"Okay Boss!" Atwood looked excited, thinking about how many cows there are on a farm, and now after buying these tens of thousands of cows, the number of cows in Sky Farm can almost exceed 50,000. In the future, the number of cattle that can be slaughtered each year may reach 30,000, but considering the need to expand the cattle herd, these can be considered slowly.

Zhou Jiexi doesn't like those kinds of things that talk about details, so he doesn't discuss anything. It's the same sentence, professional things should be done by professional people. He doesn't want to do everything by himself. The hard-won life in this life is for enjoyment, and the exhaustion is not for pursuit. Sometimes trying is called remembering bitterness and thinking sweet. It's called self-abuse all the time, and he, Zhou Jiexi, doesn't have this tendency.

There are also many cowboys in Xiliu Farm. Zhou Jiexi has already seen more than a dozen people coming and going. I don’t know how many there are in the pasture in the distance. Among them, there are really not many whites, only about one-third of them, and even fewer blacks. Indians he hardly saw. Many old Mexicans graze here. There are also Latin Americans of mixed color race, and there are several of these guys.

"I can't tell that Jim Holm also likes to save money. These Latin Americans and Lao Mo have low wages, which are much more cost-effective than hiring whites and native Americans." Zhou Jiexi looked at these people and smiled secretly.

It is said that the Chinese people have robbed a lot of studios of the American people, but most of the Chinese people in the United States are middle class, and they really can’t get into the bottom. Of course, washing dishes is not counted, even if they don’t want Chinese, The bosses of the Celestial Dynasty also don't like to use other people of color.

Suddenly Zhou Jiexi, who was riding a horse in front of him, was pleasantly surprised. He was a yellow-skinned Asian, but he didn’t know which country he was from. Like Korean pancake face. There are really not many Asians in Merced County, and a yellow-skinned man under him is not Chinese. Now seeing this man Zhou Jiexi suddenly come a little bit.

Riding on horseback, Jessie Zhou ran up, and the Asian was driving a calf that ran out of the cow pen back, and the speed of the calf was controlled by pulling the noose lock, and then the man ran away Passed over, quickly pulled the cow and drove the calf back.

Looking at the wonderful process, Jessie Zhou couldn't help clapping her hands, "Hey, man, you look great!"

The Asian had just met Zhou Jiexi, and after taking a look at him, the Asian said, "Are you from China, or some other country, or are you a local?"

Although he was a little surprised why he asked this in the first place, Zhou Jiexi still replied, "He came from the Celestial Dynasty!"

"Oh, me too!" The man laughed when he heard it, stomping his feet and clapping his hands excitedly! "Hi, let's meet each other. My name is Du Lei, and I'm from Tianchao Jianghuai!"

The man stretched out his hand after introducing him. Before Zhou Jiexi could shake hands, Saiyan stretched out his hand from behind him, wanting to shake hands with this man. When Du Leiza saw a furry arm, he was startled, and then saw Sai Ya hiding behind Zhou Jiexi's back with his sharp eyes. Just now, he really thought it was supernatural.
