In November, River Valley Ranch had another bumper harvest, with sales reaching $13.21 million.
It is much worse than October, but this is normal. If it enters the off-season for mutton sales, before the Bright cattle do not produce a large amount of output, the main income of the valley pasture is goat milk and other commodities, and the normal sales should be around 10 million.
.It may even fall by 10 million...
The account has become richer, and Chen Mo now fully controls the financial power, leaving only enough funds in the ranch account for normal operations...
During this period, Chen Mo felt very happy. In his free time, he occasionally drove a Lamborghini Maverick out to visit a winery and tasted several fine wines. He also went to Laguna Seca Raceway several times with Brett, Moxie and the others.
Gunaseca Circuit is a multi-purpose track that can host car and motorcycle competitions.
However, there are also worrying things. For example, the upcoming Christmas...
…
Because of the development of River Valley Ranch, residents of the town of San Beni voted to take back some of their tax rights. San Beni has also been under construction for a long time, and the economy is getting better day by day...
The town of Saint Beni has been planned since the beginning of the year and is now beginning to take shape.
The town has residents... not all living together, more than 400 people.
More than 300 of them are ranch employees and family members. Ranch workers who feel they have stable jobs have settled in the town.
Free residential land, the ranch will hire a construction company to design and build the house. The cost of a house of more than 100 square meters is only 30,000 to 50,000 yuan, and it also comes with a yard.
The town community has built a town office, a police station, and a community center. River Valley Ranch donated 650,000 to the town, otherwise they would not have been built at all.
Like many remote towns, the community center is an entertainment center with standard facilities such as a gym and a bowling alley. But the most valuable thing about the town of St. Beni is the land, and several tennis courts and basketball courts have been built.
There are many young people in River Valley Ranch, and these facilities are mainly built for young people.
In addition, Bright also wants to build a public golf course in the town.
This was a large investment worth hundreds of thousands, and it had to be voted on by the town council. Chen Mo, who knew the news, took a rare moment to 'take out' time...
Walking into the town office area with Brett and John, they met an old cowboy with a white beard.
"Hi, Brett, John, what have you been busy with lately? I haven't seen you for a long time."
"I've been too busy with work recently. How about it? The mutton from your ranch has been sent to the TBL Association for grading. What grade is it?" Bright smiled, and then whispered in Chen Mo's ear: "This is Brown, Brown Lake.
.The rancher of Lake Ranch…”
"Forget it, I got D level and D+ level."
The rating of TBL Association is abcdef level, and each level has three grades: '+', 'normal' and ''.
Grade D is a medium grade in mutton, which is the quality of meat that can just enter the supermarket threshold. The market reference price given is 8 US dollars per pound. But it is the terminal selling price in the market...
Looking at Brown's face with a smile on his face, he was obviously very satisfied with this rating, and hundreds of lambs in the pasture were sold to Garrison Company at prices of US$6 and US$6.5 per pound respectively.
"Who is this?" Brown had just seen Chen Mo, but he was not sure. Chen Mo rarely hung out outside the ranch, and Brown had never seen Chen Mo.
"My boss, Mo. He is very interested in the parliament today. He came over to take a look and listen."
"Hello, Mr. Chen Mo." Brown gave Chen Mo a cowboy salute.
Chen Mo also returned the greeting: "Hello."
The town councilors are all elected, there are 11 in total, 5 of them are in River Valley Ranch.
Chen Mo didn't go to the original election. This was a local council. Chen Mo just couldn't run for mayor, but he could enter the council...
Today's meeting is to vote on building a golf course, how big it should be, how much investment it should be, and the allocation of funds for the coming year...
The river valley pasture is very large, spanning two counties and several regions. Pay local taxes to the tax bureau, and the tax bureau will return part of it to the local area...
This year, River Valley Ranch just paid a total of $3.93 million in property taxes. Chen Mo didn’t know exactly how these funds were allocated, but he knew that $895,000 was returned to the town of San Beni.
In addition to River Valley Ranch, residents of the town and new residents who settled in the St. Beni community also paid local taxes. The town had just announced the account funds, which were 1.052 million.
The construction of public facilities in the town, mainly the community center, the police station, etc., plus the past donation from the ranch, the town still owes more than 200,000 yuan in bank loans. This part of the money must be repaid...
The proposal was passed unanimously.
Then there are the issues of golf course construction, site selection, and budget.
Chen Mo was listening nearby. The group of people discussed for a long time. Suddenly someone said: "Mr. Mo, please give me your opinion." This was the town speaker, and he looked at Chen Mo who was sitting next to him.
"I think there is a small lake on the right side of the Terai Valley... and it is also relatively close to my pasture. I can leave some maintenance issues to the pasture in the future." Chen Mo looked at the map and pointed at the land.
That location is just across the road from the community of St. Beni, not far away, a few hundred meters.
"That's Justin's private land, which belongs to Connie Ranch. Little Connie, what do you think your father didn't come? If you want, our town can buy this land."
"Building a community golf course shouldn't require too much land. If it's within 15 acres, I can make the decision and donate it to the town." Little Connie stood up and looked at Chen Mo.
Chen Mo nodded and smiled at him.
The land has a small lake of about 0.5 acres. The land is slightly undulating and is a barren gravel land.
Fifteen acres of wasteland is worthless.
Connie Jr.’s words received warm applause...
"That's it, it's settled. You go back and talk to old Connie, and he has to nod."
"Don't worry, there will definitely be no problem."
The meeting in the town lasted for an hour. After the meeting, everyone said goodbye. Chen Mo and the others went back to the ranch office, which was the original farm owner's house.
The owner of the farm has renovated it and has a meeting room that can accommodate more than 20 people. Most of the senior management of River Valley Ranch are present.
Christmas is just over ten days away, and the legal holiday in the United States is one and a half days. But usually, most private companies only give one day off, but...
The ranch has annual leave, which is written in the contract.
There is only one week after starting work, two weeks after three years of work, and three weeks of annual leave after five years of work.
You have to apply for annual leave one month in advance. Last month, I received nearly 150 applications for annual leave. A one-week vacation is paralyzing the rhythm of the ranch...
Chen Mo first went back to the office and took out the annual leave application he had recently received.
They were chatting and laughing in the office, discussing the year-end bonus. Chen Mo walked to the chair with a smile: "Christmas is coming soon, and I promised before that I would give out a big year-end bonus."
"Hahaha... Boss, tell me how much you plan to reward me?" Brett asked, licking a smiling face.
"You still have the nerve to ask for the year-end bonus." Chen Mo rolled his eyes, the annual leave application here was from Brett.
Actually, Chen Mo is not angry with Bright...
Brett has not had any rest this year except for the prescribed holidays and being sick once. But Chen Mo wants to show off...
