In the afternoon, Chen Mo went to Pinos City and hired a lawyer and a real estate agent...
How to buy something with less money...that is, money that matches the value of the product itself is a technical job.
With previous accumulation, Chen Mo was able to judge the approximate value of the Moro River Ranch and the Belk Ranch. It only took two days to acquire the two ranches, one for 4.5 million and the other for 5.9 million.
Including all buildings on the ranch, a total of 2,617 livestock, nine new employees, and a total of 3.1 million in fines and liabilities.
The 2,617 livestock include 2,051 cattle, and the rest are sheep.
Breeding cattle account for the majority of ordinary Angus and Limousin cattle. It seems that the nutritional status is not very good. The rest are cattle and calves. The cattle here are not a certain breed of cattle or a superior breed.
The offspring of hybrids refer specifically to cattle that have not been fattened... and have only skeletons.
The two ranches have similar breeding scales, similar liabilities and fines, and similar ranch environments. Belk Ranch is more expensive, except for the larger area, mainly because the ranch buildings are better...
After signing the contract, Chen Mo walked into the breeding farm again, and an unpleasant odor hit his face. It was still winter, and if it came to summer, the environment here would definitely be worse...
"Hi boss, the tractor has been returned. Where are you?" Brett called.
"Morro River Ranch." Chen Mo left the farm along his nose and mouth, got on his newly purchased Raptor pickup truck and looked at John: "Tell him to go down and clean up, and then go back to the River Valley Ranch."
"OK."
More than twenty Lamborghini tractors were parked on the road in the river valley, arranged in a "1" shape, which was very spectacular. Especially the appearance of the tractors was full of violent beauty.
The idle employees of the ranch were all watching, as well as passers-by...
The one at the front is a huge one, obviously not a 270dcr tractor.
The 270dcr type is a tractor with 270 horsepower and a 6-cylinder 7.1-liter engine. The big guy at the front has wheels that are taller than a person. The wheels of the 270dcr type are only about 160...
"What is this?" Chen Mo jumped out of the car and said.
"V10 Nitro has a maximum power of 560 horsepower."
Chen Mo pinched his forehead: "How much did it cost in total?"
"Within the budget, a complete set of equipment was installed, including four tractor hydraulic shovels." Bright said with a smile: "The supporting equipment will be delivered tomorrow."
"OK. Drive into the warehouse first..."
The tractor dealer followed and drove the vehicle into the warehouse. Brett checked it again and handed the bill to Chen Mo after making sure there was no problem...
The budget given by Chen Mo was 4 million, which did not exceed the budget. The total cost was 3.89 million. Combine harvesters, pasture binders, Chen Mo also saw a 4.5-ton road roller, a vibrating roller for compacting dirt roads... and other things.
The items on the list are 4 pages long.
After waiting in the warehouse for a while, John rushed over.
The cockpit of a Lamborghini tractor looks like the cockpit of a spaceship, with so many buttons inside.
These tractors are easy to operate. As long as you understand the functions of these buttons, organize people to learn first...
There are three high-horsepower tractors, all of which can be driven unmanned. They can plow the land, sow seeds, harvest, and release the machines. All they need is someone watching in the machine room.
If Chen Mo went out to buy these equipment, it would take at least ten days and a half. Bright and Chen Chen could get it done in two or three days. As far as this efficiency issue is concerned, it is worthy of recognition. But Bright has one thing that is very bad, and Chen Mo
Same, they all like to pick out good things to buy...
…
Mechanical equipment was sent back one after another, and Chen Mo was busy with the delivery work of Moro River Ranch and Belk Ranch, dealing with liabilities and previous fines.
Brett and John got the ranch up and running quickly...
First, we disposed of the cattle and sheep in the two pastures, 2,617 animals, and made a profit of 1.8 million U.S. dollars. There were no good cattle breeds, and they were all calves and cattle. The sheep raised in the two pastures were all ordinary goods... Same thing.
Angus cattle, calves bred on different pastures are all very different. Cattle from both pastures do not need to be retained...
The cow dung and sheep dung in the two pastures piled up like mountains.
The first step was to get rid of the excrement. With the help of a large area of farmland in the valley pasture, more than a dozen tractors, and excavators, it took more than ten consecutive days of continuous work to clean up the accumulated excrement.
Some of the manure has been accumulated for several years, and the manure does not need to be fermented anymore. Other manure is also pulled directly to the river valley farm and spread directly on the fields. The nitro560 tractor plows the land 1.5 meters deep and buries the fertilizer deeply into the land...
The ranch currently has 27 grassroots employees, mainly working in Moro River Ranch and Belk Ranch. The two ranches have been renovated, planned and built into two breeding bases.
The progress on Bai Xiaoou's side was not going well. The original plan was to finish it within 10 days, but it took half a month before the contract was signed...
A total of 931 No. 71 Bright cattle, as well as the cattle breed patent of No. 71 Bright cattle, cost a total of 34.8 million U.S. dollars, not counting shipping costs...
The ranch was looked after by John and Chen Chen, while Brett flew to Montana and was responsible for transporting all 931 cattle back.
After sending Bright to the airport, Chen Mo checked the time and spent more than an hour reading information about Bright in the waiting room. Finally, he arrived at Bai Xiaoou. After the two met, they hugged each other and said, "Thank you for the hard work on this trip."
"It's okay, it's not hard to get money." Bai Xiaoou sat on Chen Mo's Lamborghini, smiled and stretched out his hand: "Give me the money, the agreed 8% commission."
Chen Mo smiled and filled out a check for US$2.8 million: "Are you going to buy a house, or should you maintain your pride as a rich second generation and buy a supercar first?"
"Of course I want to buy a house first. Can you contact me about the houses in your community?" Bai Xiaoou is planning to buy a house in Marin County, in the community where Chen Mo lives.
"Don't worry while I handle the matter. Chen Xiao is in charge of this matter and has been contacted. There are three buildings. Why don't you go and take a look now?"
"Now go over and take a look. I want to finalize the house as soon as possible..."
Chen Mo gave up the driving seat to Bai Xiaoou, and he sat in the passenger seat: "I have something to do, you drive."
"Okay, I, CEO Bai, will drive for you, a rich man." Bai Xiaoou said with a smile.
"Ma Dan... I've been spending money this time and haven't made any money. I'll sort it out and see how much money I have left."
Snow Mountain Ranch was sold for 355 million, and the profit was after tax.
It cost 248.5 million to buy the Dai Lai Valley Ranch. Later, Tang Xia Yipin raised funds to purchase ranch machinery and equipment. He also bought two small ranches as breeding bases and renovated them to increase infrastructure.
There is still 16.8 million yuan left in the account.
It is estimated that it will cost hundreds of thousands to send 931 Bright cattle from Montana to California. The twenty or thirty workers on the ranch are all highly paid, and the annual salary expenditure is more than two million...
If it cannot raise the highest quality beef, River Valley Ranch will have to consider transformation.
For example, Snow Mountain Ranch used to raise Angus cattle and produce beef that is supplied to high-end restaurants. Only such a ranch can make a lot of money. There are also some more awesome ranches than Snow Mountain Ranch...
The American ultra-black Wagyu beef has its own rating system. For example, black Wagyu beef that has reached the SRF level and frost tender shoulder steak, each weighing about 300g, are of particularly good quality and can be sold for more than $2,000.
A piece of meat is equivalent to a cow.
This is direct sales from the ranch, and is sold on the website... It is provided to restaurants, and the price of this kind of beef is more than 1,500 US dollars per pound. Of course, this is the best.
Ordinary SRF-grade Wagyu beef, tender shoulder steaks also sell for more than $1,000. Rib-eye steaks sell for between $300 and $500.
SRF grade, corresponding to Kobe grade beef.
The number of Wagyu cattle is inherently small, and there are strict requirements for the way they are raised and the places where they are raised.
Although Bright cattle are labeled as Wagyu cattle, they are not Wagyu cattle after all, not even 'American Wagyu'. It is very troublesome to buy Wagyu cattle with a pedigree certificate. You can only buy embryos... The ranch will definitely introduce a batch of purebred cattle in the future.
Breeding Wagyu (embryo).
"When you go out with so many documents, the work on the ranch is very messy?"
"No. These are expenditure materials. I'll take a copy back to Marin County and put it in the computer. Didn't this trip delay your official work?"
"It's okay, I'm working on the computer. It's Christmas again. When are you going to go back to China this year?"
"When things are almost busy, I guess it will be mid to late January. Are you going back to China too?" Chen Mo looked at Bai Xiaoou, this guy really rarely returns to China.
"Jennifer and I are going to get married next year and take Jennifer to China." Bai Xiaoou smiled: "After the New Year, you seem to be 30 years old. Your uncle and aunt are not urging you to get married?"
Chen Mo shrugged: "I will ask occasionally, but you won't force me."
Bai Xiaoou chuckled: "I have a pretty good-looking sister, or else I can introduce her to you."
"I'll finish you off myself." Chen Mo knew that Bai Xiaoou's sister was not related by blood to Bai Xiaoou. It seemed that... she had no contact with her. Chen Mo had never seen her.
"I'm serious." Bai Xiaoou sighed with emotion: "You know I'm a very stubborn person. I have a temper similar to yours... After my father passed away, my mother remarried, and I didn't have much contact with my mother. Now that I'm older,
I understand a lot of things... I also want to reconcile with my mother."
"Um?"
"On Christmas, my mom...their family will come over." Bai Xiaoou said with a smile on his face: "When I was in Montana, I often talked to that cheap sister, and we had a good chat. Internet celebrity beauty,
Then we’ll introduce you to each other.”
"Uncle Chen is very cold and won't make an appointment."
