It’s Christmas, year-end bonuses are about to be distributed.
Chen Mo went to the office after breakfast and signed several documents.
Divided the valley pasture.
Chen Mo only manages the business of Valley Ranch. As for River Valley Animal Husbandry, Chen Mo holds less than 30% of the shares. Mo Xi occasionally reports to Chen Mo about the matters of Valley Animal Husbandry...
River Valley Animal Husbandry has people from the Nestlé Group and people from the TBL Association. The company is doing well and has always been profitable.
Valley Ranch has also been profitable.
More than a thousand lactating ewes are raised in the pasture, and the fresh milk produced is sold directly to the Nestlé St. Beni factory. The quality of the fresh milk is stable and the price per pound is US$1.12.
Valley Ranch now produces close to 6,000 pounds of milk per day.
Then there is the forage sold every day.
While maintaining a balance of payments, some small profits are not too much. The main reason is that there are too many workers on the ranch. The current number of workers on the ranch is 113. There are more than 40 people with a monthly salary of over 10,000 yuan. These are all veterinarians.
Graduate students, management...that is, reserved talents.
With human resources, Valley Ranch can expand anytime it wants.
"Boss, the purchase contract for Saanen dairy goats is 30,000 in total. Take a look..." Seeing Chen Mo sign the year-end bonus, Moxi presented the purchase contract for Saanen dairy goats, a one-time purchase of 30,000 ewes, including ewes and goats.
Rams. There are 12,000 of them from the 'Chen Family Ranch' and 'Chen Chen Ranch' ranches.
Dorper sheep produce less than 5 pounds a day.
Shaneng dairy sheep, if stimulated with hormones, can produce more than 13 pounds of milk a day. Natural milk production, that is, without the use of hormones... Kangsi has already calculated the statistics. They raise special lactation feed. Shaneng
The daily milk production of dairy goats is between 79 pounds. I sent it to Nestlé Saint-Bénie for evaluation. Although it is goat milk, the quality is not bad, and the purchase price given is US$1 per pound.
The cost of a Dorper goat to produce milk per day is about US$5.25.
A Sanenen dairy goat, which produces milk in one day, costs about US$8.
Both types of sheep eat the same amount of feed every day. The price of feed during the milk production period is more expensive, and a sheep eats feed for less than US$1.50 a day.
No matter how you calculate it, it is cost-effective to raise Saanen dairy sheep. Moreover, the price of Saanen dairy sheep is cheap, and there are many channels to purchase Saanen dairy sheep.
"How is the progress of the East Frisian dairy sheep?" Chen Mo said after reading the purchase contract and signing it.
"The California Department of Agriculture has not approved it yet. But it should be soon... I plan to go to New Zealand with Cons after Christmas."
"Your work efficiency is really too slow." The purchase of East Frisian dairy sheep started when the valley pasture was divided, but it has not yet been implemented.
Moxi smiled bitterly: "It takes half a month or a month for the government department to review a document. What can I do..."
In the past, Chen Mo also thought that there was no problem with such efficiency. The efficiency of the functional departments of the US government was really slow. But after seeing Cohen's style of handling things...
The privatization of South Point Park and Matcha Beach required the approval and consent of the Hawaii State Government, which was quite a troublesome matter. Cohen completed it all in a few days, during which he went to the town office, then the town council meeting, and then to Ou Shen.
city, and finally to Hawaii County, which is Hilo County...and finally to the Hawaii State Government...
Cohen and Chen Mo went to some departments together, and to some departments lawyers went. The whole process was completed, and there were more than 40 documents piled up in the office... It only took about 5 days.
Thinking of Cohen, Cohen called: "Hi, Mo, I've arrived."
"Come in...wait a minute, I'll go out to pick you up." Chen Mo smiled and went downstairs to see a black Ford Explorer outside the office area.
Chen Mo asked the security guard to open the door, and the Ford Explorer drove in...
Cohen has gained a lot of weight in recent years, but he still likes to dress in suits and leather shoes.
"Hi, buddy, welcome to join the big family of the Valley Organization." Chen Mo laughed and gave Cohen a firm hug.
"Haha... I hope you don't dislike me."
"How could it be?" Chen Mo lacked a person like Cohen around him. A senior bank executive with strong execution ability...
After seeing Cohen's behavior, Chen Mo had some doubts about whether he could buy the entire Hawaiian Island if he was given enough money. Of course, this is just a metaphor.
"Well, I want to make another condition to you. I need two assistants, one is Jack and the other is lawyer Stephen. Jack is my assistant, and Stephen is a lawyer who is familiar with law. You have not met him, but
In the case of acquiring the island of Hawaii, all the legal documents were written by Stephen."
Chen Mo thought for a moment: "How much salary do you want to give them?"
"Jack's annual salary is 300,000 yuan. Stephen's annual salary is 1 million yuan, and two-thirds of the salary needs to be settled with River Valley Animal Husbandry stock futures."
Moxi frowned as he watched from the side. An annual salary of one million? And two-thirds of the salary must be settled with River Valley Animal Husbandry futures stocks... This is too much for a lion.
Chen Mo's current property is actually not big, and it is easy to manage. Moxi also has management skills and can manage the Valley Ranch very well. Kang Si is also a high-tech employee...and there is Hank. The current Valley Ranch is actually Han
It can be managed well with just one Gram. And one more Conse... even Moxxi is a bit redundant.
"You know my industry and my output, you should know everything about it. There is not much work that requires effort. You need to find an assistant, with an annual salary of less than 100,000, which is enough. As for the lawyer, we have a lawyer on the ranch...
...What benefits can hiring them bring to me?" Chen Mo said.
"The first thing I will consider when working for you in the future is naturally your interests. A good lawyer, given the current industry and development situation of Valley Ranch, may be able to save you millions of dollars a year.
"
"for example?"
"File taxes, apply for USDA subsidies, and apply for agricultural exclusive economic zones. And, the mining quota of the Idrija Valley potassium feldspar mine... The annual mining quota of the Idrija Valley potassium feldspar mine is now 1,500 tons. In half a year, Stephen can
He has promised to increase the mining quota of minerals to 100,000 tons. If he cannot do this, he is willing to give you free work for three years."
The potassium feldspar mine in the Idrija Valley is a complex mine with many uses. However, due to geographical location and mining quota restrictions, the potassium feldspar mine in this mine is mainly used to make mineral fertilizers.
The annual mining volume of 1,500 tons may not be enough for the future use of the valley pasture. As for expanding the mining license, Roni Animal Husbandry Co., Ltd. has been operating for more than ten years...
"Really sure?"
"Stephen has been a senior consultant lawyer for Wells Fargo Bank in California. He came to work as a consultant lawyer, not full-time. He will only come to help you when you need him... If it is another job, I can't guarantee it, but
Expanding mineral mining is not difficult for Stephen. He has already accepted seven such cases, all of which were successful."
"This is...a second-generation official, right?" Chen Mo rolled his eyes.
Cohen spread his hands.
It doesn't matter whether he is a second-generation official, what matters is that he can get things done.
Some things are better left unsaid. Stephen is a bit mysterious, but one thing is certain: he comes from a political family. There are many political families in the United States, large and small, and some political families have lasted for hundreds of years...
Political families... all know that the salary in politics is not high. But among those political families that have lasted for several generations, which family is not extremely wealthy...
Chen Mo smiled silently: "Okay, the annual salary is one million. But the agreement will not officially take effect until we get the 100,000-ton mining license for the potassium feldspar mine."
Potassium feldspar ore is not expensive.
If you sell the ore alone, based on the quality of the potassium feldspar ore in the Idrija Valley, the potassium feldspar ore will cost about US$85 per ton. It can be made into natural mineral fertilizer, and the mineral fertilizer can be sold for more than five hundred US dollars per ton.
As for the potassium feldspar ore reserves in the Idrija Valley, the reserves that have been explored are 4.4 million tons. This is an open-pit mine, with 100,000 tons mined every year, and it will take more than 40 years to fully mine it.
100,000 tons of potassium feldspar ore is worth US$8.5 million, but when made into fertilizer, the value is much higher.
The same mine has an annual mining license of 1,500 tons and an annual mining volume of 100,000 tons. Their values are one on the ground and the other in the sky...
