The first thousand four hundred and eighty-four chapters
Han Peacock immediately thought of the problem. This is the northern part of the United States, and Texas is in the southernmost part of the United States. Transportation is really troublesome. After all, it is 60,000 cattle.
"It's not because of this. We use sea transportation and transport it along the eastern Atlantic Ocean. Now that the calves have arrived at the port, they cannot be transported directly to our ranch, so we want to ask the boss to come forward and contact several ranches to the east of us.
Let's negotiate and see if we can connect them to the channel." Old Sam said.
Han Kongque was stunned. He really had never thought about this problem: "I remember, didn't I remember that there is a road to the east that passes through our ranch? They don't let us go on that road?"
"Yes, several ranchers over there won't let us pass through their pastures. We have no choice. They won't let us go, so we can only take a detour. We can transport 60,000 cattle. The detour is too far.
It will be very troublesome in the middle.”
Old Sam had a sad face. He had never thought of this situation when he bought the cow.
Han Peacock also frowned. With so many cattle, all loaded and transported, it would be nothing if they could return to the Golden Cow Ranch in one day. If they could not reach their destination in one day, these cattle would need to drink water and eat grass.
Now Old Sam is worried that it will definitely not be able to be transported to the ranch in one day. This will be really troublesome.
"What was your plan?" Han Peacock asked.
Old Sam said: "We originally made an agreement with Rick's family in the east. The straight-line distance between his family's ranch and ours is only more than a hundred kilometers. We planned to send out some cowboys and rush back directly.
Although it would take four or five days to get back, it was the lowest cost, and even with some tolls, it was a good deal. But for some reason, Mr. Rick regretted it. He thought that such a large herd of cattle passing through their pasture would probably give them pasture.
Bring disaster.
As a last resort, we contacted several other ranches, but they all disagreed. Our cattle passed through their ranches, and no matter what conditions we gave, they refused.
But there is no problem with our batch of calves at all. It’s just because there are too many, so we have checked them carefully and are afraid that sick cows will be mixed in and cause a plague.”
As soon as Han Kongque heard this, he knew that things were not simple this time. Compared with Americans in big cities, ranchers should not be too petty, because the ranch itself is a large area with few people, so they should help each other.
But now that this situation occurs, it is very likely that someone is working against him, and it is very targeted.
Han Peacock knew that in countries with developed animal husbandry like the United States, it was normal to pass by other pastures when changing pastures. But now, this normal thing was actually rejected.
And this is a normal thing in the United States, because the United States is a country of private ownership. Land is private. Without the owner's consent, even the government departments can't do anything to them.
"It seems that our ranch has been too popular recently, which may have aroused others' jealousy." Han Peacock said with a bitter smile.
He couldn't solve it. They refused to let their pasture go. What could Han Peacock do?
Even if Han Peacock gets bad and wants to mess with others, that will happen in the future.
"We had no choice but to hire vehicles for transportation, and we had to replenish fodder for them during the transportation process." Old Sam was a little frustrated. He felt a little sorry for Han Kongque's trust and failed to get things done.
Old Sam also knew how much money Han Kongque had spent recently. Originally, he wanted to save some money for Han Kongque as much as possible. Unexpectedly, the cost was even greater.
Of course, Old Sam also wanted to give up. Compared with the land newly purchased by the boss in the north, the income from Jinniu Ranch was too slow.
Even if Old Sam is a cowboy, he can still understand that compared to the fossil museum in the north, the output of the Golden Cow Ranch is nothing.
Moreover, the museum in the north is a one-time investment, and there will be no risk in the future, but the Golden Cow Ranch is different. Even if the large-scale purchase of calves this time is a one-time investment, the breeding industry is risky and cannot be like a museum.
, a guaranteed profit without loss.
The most important thing is that many young people nowadays don't like farming and breeding. Young people now want to play stocks, futures, and venture capital, because that is more exciting and makes money faster.
Originally, Old Sam wasn't very worried, but with the museum in the north and Han Peacock's continuous additional investment, Old Sam finally became worried. He was afraid that Han Peacock could not resist temptation and stopped the expansion of the ranch.
plan.
After comforting Old Sam, he sent him away, and Yang Ying followed him to help.
Sitting in the office, Han Peacock became thoughtful.
Han Peacock didn't know what Old Sam was thinking, so he didn't pay much attention to this. Compared with this little trouble, he would rather think about making more money!
As long as he has enough funds, Han Kongque is thinking of buying more land. If all the pastures to the east of Jinniu Ranch are bought by Han Kongque, how can there be any trouble today?
This time he should spend money to learn a lesson. As long as he pays attention to it in the future, he will always make up for it.
Han Peacock's ranch is inland, not close to the sea, so transportation is more troublesome. However, he does not have any advantages here. At least the newly purchased mountain forest surrounds Lake Superior.
Although the Great Lakes region has many rivers and abundant water resources, who made it so large?
It's just that the area bought by Han Kongque is as big as more than a dozen counties in the country. In such a large area, even the weather forecast cannot accurately predict the weather conditions in the entire pastoral area, let alone other aspects.
With such a huge advantage, Han Peacock really didn't believe that the surrounding ranches didn't get a day off of him.
Even Han Peacock has thought that as long as there is a drought, those ranchers will definitely come to him to beg him, because Han Peacock controls their upstream water sources.
Originally, Han Peacock couldn't threaten others with such a thing. He was more afraid of the pasture, which had its own water conservancy project, but who made the land area here too large?
The land area is so large that even if there is a river in the pasture, it will be of little use if there is a drought. What's more, the north of the United States is not as rainy as the south.
Therefore, a larger pasture has advantages and disadvantages. Of course, in comparison, a larger pasture has more benefits. At least it has a stronger ability to resist risks.
Although Han Kongque now owns a lot of land, compared with some invisible giants in the United States, his land is just drizzle.
The topography of the United States is plateau mountains in the west, the Mississippi River alluvial plain in the center, and the Appalachian Mountains in the east. The central Great Plains have a temperate continental climate, which is more suitable for grazing. The Great Lakes region in the northeastern United States has dense urban areas.
The livestock industry is relatively developed!
This is only relatively developed, not the most developed. The pastoral areas in the United States are mainly distributed in the south and midwestern regions.
Of course, the area of pasture is not the largest. There are also agricultural areas and cotton planting belts. Overall, almost two-thirds of the land in the United States is farmland and pasture.
What is two-thirds? The land area of the United States is more than 9.63 million square kilometers. Although it is not much larger than China, its population is small!
And unlike China, the vast majority of the population is concentrated together, so the United States as a whole looks like a vast land with sparsely populated areas.
As a result, there will be more agricultural and pastoral areas. With such a large area and so many pastures, the dozens or millions of acres of land owned by Korean Peacock are nothing at all.
In the United States, there are ranches everywhere, ranging from a few acres to millions of acres. The average range varies from state to state, but the average range is about 170, 80 to more than 200 acres.
In the Great Lakes region, the most common-sized pastures are this kind, and Han Kongque's neighbors to the east are just scattered small pastures like this.
Although these ranches are not large, the land prices are not low, because this is the Great Lakes region and is close to the Atlantic Ocean in the eastern United States, so the land price there is several times that of the Korean Peacock Golden Cattle Ranch. Perhaps it is because the land price is too high, so
There is no large pasture on the edge.
In fact, this was also an opportunity that Han Kongque saw. If it was really a large ranch, its owner must be a very powerful capitalist, but these small ranches were different.
This bit of their family fortune was probably inherited. Even if it wasn't inherited, it was bought by people who were not very wealthy. They didn't pay much attention to these pastures and didn't rely on them to make a living.
In a country like the United States with a developed animal husbandry industry, the risks of small ranches are still very high, and it can also be said that the ability to resist risks is very weak.
For example, plague, drought, beef prices, and even financial crises can easily cause large-scale bankruptcy of some small ranches.
The other Korean peacocks can't do it, but if there is some drought in the small pastures to the east, it doesn't seem to be a problem at all.
Han Peacock looked up at the sky. The air today is a bit humid and hot. If we follow the laws of nature, there will definitely be rain somewhere around. Because of the wind, wherever the clouds in the sky blow, there will be rain.
"Is this an opportunity?" Han Peacock believed. The water in the sky hundreds of meters around quickly gathered together and fell to the ground. It was raining.
As it rains here, the feeling of heat is obviously reduced.
After walking out of the office, Han Kongque rode on the heavy draft horse outside and ran towards the pasture.
As Han Peacock goes away, the amount of rainfall behind him begins to gradually increase. This is clouds spreading rain.
The heat disappears, the air cools, and the surrounding hot air generates wind, which just fills the space that shrinks after the air cools down. This is the simplest thermal expansion and contraction, and it is this thermal expansion and contraction that helps the Korean peacock descend more easily.
Rain is coming. (To be continued.) Mobile phone users please visit http://m.piaotian.net
