The sun is very dazzling after nine o'clock in the morning. It's still winter...
There are no clouds in the sky, and it looks like a piece of blue emerald. The sun is not hot, and the ultraviolet rays are particularly strong.
Chen Mo sat on the excavator and wore sunglasses. He dug more than two hundred holes before he stopped and went over to help Chen Chen and the others plant trees.
The mountainous areas of the Coast Range, especially those near the Central Valley, have arid land.
The gravel soil is an unmodified primitive valley. First, manure is buried in the pit, covered with soil, and then trees are planted.
A tree grape that is about 15 years old weighs two to three hundred kilograms, and the trunk is full of fruits... Chen Chen and the others struggled to lift the tree while picking the fruits to eat.
Their strength is too small, and they have only transplanted a dozen of them so far.
Chen Mo can carry three hundred kilograms of tree grapes alone...
Four people worked in the valley all morning and transplanted more than a hundred. They continued in the afternoon...
…
Chen Xiao and Zhang Xia came here to play, but they worked on the ranch for a day and returned to San Francisco in the evening.
The next time Chen Mo deliberately left Chen Chen alone and worked alone in the valley.
He can work more efficiently by himself. With the Space Bead, Chen Mo can save a lot of laborious steps...
The planting density of tree grapes is 3 meters by 5 meters, the spacing between plants is 3 meters, and the spacing between rows is 5 meters. Leave enough space for driving inside...
Before Christmas, Chen Mo finally planted 27 acres, with 7,000 tree grapes neatly arranged in the small valley basin. Most of the tree grapes will bloom and bear fruit after being removed...
They may not be acclimated to the soil. After being moved out of space, the grapevines will begin to lose flowers and fruits, and the leaves of some grapevines will even wither.
The space temperature environment, water and soil are still very different from the outside world.
Of the 7,000 tree grapes, only a few are about five years old, and the rest are more than eight years old.
Before Christmas, the River Valley Ranch sign was finally put up...
There are two large stone monuments erected before and after Highway 25. There are large Chinese characters that say "River Valley Ranch" and small English characters below.
There are also signs on every road, "River Valley Area", which says "River Valley Planting Area" and entry is prohibited.
The valley area, where Chen Mo's villa is located, also has a sign indicating that it is a private property and outsiders are not allowed to enter...
You have to go through the small valley. There is a guardhouse built on the road into the small valley, with road rails. Ranch workers are not allowed to enter at will...
Then there are names like Moon Valley, Blue Hills, etc., and the pasture is divided into areas.
Bright finally led a huge team of trucks back on the afternoon of Christmas Eve. 931 Bright cows traveled more than 2,000 kilometers using 93 trucks...
The actual time on the road was only two days, which was mainly the preliminary preparation work. The Bright people who came back had lost a lot of weight, but there was uncontrollable excitement on their faces.
"But I'm finally back." Chen Mo stepped forward to hug Bright, but when he smelled a sour smell, he pushed him away: "Go back and take a shower. Did you fall into the latrine?"
Bright looked sad: "It's not easy to transport such a huge amount. Boss, come and see the breed of cattle I have bred."
Bright Cow No. 71 is all black, not pure black, its coat is glossy, with a little bit of cyan. Black and cyan...
Cows have small horns and a uniform body shape.
Including shipping costs, the price of each cow is close to US$40,000.
John directed the workers to drive the cattle into the cowshed in batches and hang up the number plates with their new identities...
These black and green cows are Bright's treasure. He didn't bother to rest, so he went to the cowshed to take a look.
The cowshed is dry and piled with thick dry grass. Each cow has at least 15 square meters of activity space in the cowshed. Each large cowshed and the fenced field outside can also be allocated at least 1.5 acres.
Activity space…
Each large barn can raise 50 cows. The brand-new breeding farm gives people a spacious, simple and clean feeling.
We also worked overtime to build the sewage channels in the cowshed.
Chen Mo rarely came to the breeding farm, so he went in with Brett to have a look. The overall feeling was very good, and John had put a lot of thought into it during this time.
"Boss, I think they should be given a new name. Bright Cow No. 71, it doesn't sound good." Bright's face was full of joy, looking at his cows like he was looking at his wife.
"Hmm...how about the name 'River Valley Black Green Cow'?"
"Black and Green Cows, a very appropriate name." Bright said with a smile: "There are 735 breeding cows in this batch of cattle. The rest are heifers and bulls. There are 89 cows. I want to expand the number of cows.
The herd…”
"If you don't tell me, I will also expand the cow population." Chen Mo walked out of the cowshed and continued: "Can we introduce a batch of purebred Wagyu embryos from rb. In addition to black and green cattle, I think we should also raise a batch of Wagyu cattle."
"I have already contacted the wagyu embryos from rbshenh county."
Now that Brett is back, he can take care of everything about the ranch.
Back at the villa, Brett took a shower...
Chen Mo saw that it was still early and pulled him to talk about the future of the ranch...
"River Valley Ranch has spent a lot of money so far, but I won't be able to spend much money in the future," Chen Mo said.
"I know... apart from the introduction of wagyu embryos and wages, there shouldn't be any big expenses. There are 107 black and green cattle, and 50 of them will be slaughtered in four or five months... The time can also be extended.
After eight or nine months..." Bright was also a little worried. It would cost too much to buy back these high-quality cattle he had bred.
Previously, he encouraged Chen Mo to buy a batch of expensive equipment...
Then there is the construction of a world-class luxury breeding farm.
The infrastructure of River Valley Ranch can be said to be... luxurious. If Chen Mo couldn't make money, Bright himself would be embarrassed.
He is very optimistic about black and blue beef, but the focus of his future work must still be on wagyu.
"You are still responsible for the work of the ranch. I applied for a ranch account with 5 million funds in it. During the time you left, the ranch established an accounting department... Just like Snow Mountain Ranch, the accounting department has a seal, which is in Chen Chen's place
A seal, a seal in my hand..." Chen Mo said and gave the seal to Bright. Workers' salaries will be paid directly from the bank, or from the ranch's account... The daily expenses of the ranch are relatively small, and Bright himself
With the right to make decisions, Chen Chen's seal is required for larger amounts, and Chen Mo's seal is required for capital flows above 500,000.
All the money for the infrastructure construction of the ranch has been spent in a third-party account. Up to now, the ranch has no particularly big expenses... In the future, you only need to buy some boards to build the ranch, and the cost will not be big. 500
10,000 is enough for ranch operation...
Brett breathed a sigh of relief: "Five million is more than enough. Thank you for your trust."
Chen Mo smiled and patted Brett on the shoulder: "Your wife bought a house in Field. According to Chinese tradition, when moving to a new house, you have to treat guests to dinner."
"Hahaha... No problem. But I have to wait until I get familiar with the work on the ranch..." Brett said, clasping his fists and making a farewell gesture: "I'm going home... What are your plans for Christmas?"
"Back to San Francisco, I don't have any other plans."
"I want to take a leave and take my wife and daughter on a trip to California... I want to take three days off."
