Norman jokingly said: "You will feel it if you see the bill. It cost this amount to renovate these things." After speaking, he slapped Ju An.
"Five million dollars?" Ju An blurted out with his eyes widened. Ju An laughed when he said it: "Half a million dollars would be nice to change it to like this!" Of course it wouldn't cost five million dollars to renovate it.
Unless Norman is embezzling. Looking at big numbers all day long, Ju An can see tens of millions of dollars at least a few times a year, but half a million dollars is really invisible to Ju An.
Norman looked at Ju An's face and said he was indifferent to half a million dollars and said: "Four hundred and eighty thousand dollars, and some simple instruments. The large instruments purchased will be here in two months. The look on his face now
This time, we spent more than three million US dollars to purchase instruments. Once they were in place, many of our company's instruments and equipment surpassed those of the University of Montana."
University of Montana? It’s not normal to surpass him. Dude spends 10 million US dollars a year. If it can’t be better than the animal husbandry equipment of the University of Montana, dude should bang his head against the wall.
When the equipment was mentioned, Ju An suddenly thought of his plan to breed a new horse breed, and told Norman about it.
Norman crossed his hands, frowned and listened to Ju An's plan, then asked: "You are breeding a new horse breed just to be beautiful?".
Ju An opened his eyes and nodded: "Yes! Nowadays, they are all machines. There are quarters for herding, pure bloods for racing, dressage and other Europeans can have fun by themselves. I just want to breed a new horse breed.
Look better."
"I really can't understand the thoughts of you rich people." Norman shook his head and said, "Cultivating a horse breed just for the sake of riding well." He paused and then said, "Then our group will add a project, the cultivation of new horse breeds.
, but this thing will take a long time, and you may not see the effect for more than ten or twenty years. Do you really want to do this?"
"That's what we must do. My breed of horses has been bought by others. They will be kept in the pasture. You will observe them from time to time. There is nothing interesting about the first generation," Ju An said to Norman.
Norman thought for a while and nodded: "Then let's meet a few new friends first." Seeing that Ju An had no objection, Norman picked up the phone and informed each one. After making the call, he stood up.
He got up and walked towards the conference room with Ju An.
We sat in the conference room. The space was not big, just enough to hold a conference table for about ten people, plus a circle of chairs against the wall. The two of them sat and waited for a while, and several animal husbandry experts came one after another.
One after another walked in, there were six new faces among them. Needless to say, Leonard, we have known each other for several years, the naked Mediterranean
There is no hope of becoming a continent again. Three of the six new experts are engaged in animal husbandry breeding. The one with a red mustache and a height of about 1.65 meters is named Alexander. Ju An privately believes that this
He has a good name. You can tell the origin of his name just by looking at his height. He has grown up a long time ago without much pressure.
The name of the old man with a black shave on his face was Bird. Norman introduced that this tall, thin old man was very good at studying cattle breeds.
The old man's face was also clean-shaven and he had a small goatee on his chin. His name was Benson, and he was very knowledgeable about goats used for meat.
One of the two who studies plants is named Cliff and the other is named Corbett. The remaining one is Jennifer, a woman in her fifties. Needless to say, she studies cows.
Everyone shook hands one by one and sat down around the conference table. Norman asked Ju An: "An! Do you have anything to say?".
Ju An thought about it for a moment. This was the first time that he, as a boss, had to shout twice. To welcome everyone, he had to express it in a way. He nodded at Norman, and then turned his head.
He looked around at the newcomers and said, "Welcome everyone.
"Joining Xishuihe Biological Company, although I am an investor, I can't understand your numbers. When Norman and Leonard showed them to me in the past, I always turned directly to the last page."
As soon as they finished speaking, the newcomers started laughing softly.
Ju An continued: "I don't understand these things, so I won't get involved in the affairs of the biological company. I am just a logistics worker. You manage this company." After looking down, he remembered that the accountant from the accounting firm was still here today.
No, forget it, Ju An has seen it anyway. It doesn’t matter whether there is an accountant or not: “It’s up to you to decide how to allocate the funds. I’m done.”
The newcomers below smiled and clapped their hands gently a few times. Ju An was a little depressed that the applause was not intense enough. Forget it, these researchers have this kind of virtue anyway, so I don’t care about these people.
Norman waited for Ju An to finish speaking and said a few words to Leonard next to him, then turned around to assign the tasks for this year, and of course added one, to cultivate the beautiful horse breed that the boss wanted.
The meeting was very concise and adjourned within twenty minutes.
Norman walked to the door and said to Ju An: "Let's go and see the laboratory. We can't let you spend money and not see something!".
"That's why we need to take a closer look." Ju An nodded and said with a smile.
Pushing open the door on the white wall, I saw several large machines as soon as I entered. The packaging on them has not been torn off. Not far away is a large stainless steel table. It is shiny. This thing is safe.
I know it, but I have never seen such a big one before. This thing is called an autopsy table. Everyone knows what it does even if the name doesn’t explain it. It’s reserved for these scientists to use for pulling out corpses. The blood will flow along the side and under the table.
In a stainless steel barrel. Not to mention things like microscopes.
Ju An just took a quick look around. How could Ju An know what was less and what was more? Ju An couldn't even name the names of many machines. When he walked up to an instrument, Norman would explain it.
It doesn’t matter what it’s called. Ju’an doesn’t understand it. He just puts his hands behind his back or touches his chin like he understands. If he hears Norman saying that this is the latest equipment in the United States, he touches it twice and nods as if he’s satisfied.
: "Okay! Very good!".
After the visit, Ju An and Leonard Norman arrived at Norman's office. As the boss, Ju An remembered to care about the lives of the employees: "Where do these experts and their assistants live now?".
"We rented two houses in the town to live in first, and in the summer they will prepare to hire someone to build a house together," Norman said with a smile to Ju An.
Ju An nodded after hearing this, that's good! Now Ju'an's community can't give away randomly. If the community is crowded with people, the environment will not be as elegant as it is now. Not to mention these scientists, even
The other managers of the ranch, Ju An, are not planning to give it away, and of course they are not planning to sell it. There are now more than 60 households. The two old men, Norman and Leonard, have two places in the community, which are
Rewards before settling in peace.
"The two of us are also going to build the house and bring the family over when the time comes," Leonard said with a smile to Ju An.
Ju An patted the armrest of the chair and said, "Take it over." These two old men only went home once or twice a month, and spent the rest of the time on the ranch. It was really time to move their home.
After chatting with the two old men for a while, Ju An got up and left.
As soon as she arrived home and walked in, Dinah said to Ju An, who was hanging his coat on the rack: "Miles and Mike are here, and they are in your study with Fan now."
Ju An kissed Dinah on the face and said, "Hey! I've been busy all day and my heels are hitting the back of my head."
Hearing what Ju An said, Dinah laughed and pushed Ju An away: "I have something to do in the afternoon and you are so busy. Come in quickly. They have been waiting for almost half an hour."
.
As soon as he opened the door of his study room, Wang Fan had already sat behind his desk, with his legs on the table. Miles was sitting in front of the desk looking like a bird with Wang Fan. Only Mike was more reliable and honest.
Sit down and put your arms on the armrests.
Seeing Ju An walking in, Wang Fan rolled his eyelids and said, "Have you settled the matter of that biological company?".
"Well!" Ju An walked to the couch against the wall and sat down. Then he thought, these two people have a table with a footrest. They can't waste the couch alone. Thinking of this,
He turned sideways and lay on the sofa: "Why are you so anxious?"
Mike said to Ju An: "It's still about the aquatic products company. Some things have to be decided now. Tomorrow you will go to San Francisco, and I will go back to China in two days. Plans for office buildings and other things have also been come out. Everyone
Let’s take a look and we should be able to start construction in two or three months.” After speaking, Mike took out a few renderings from the folder on the table.
Wang Fan first looked at it, turned it over and handed it to Miles, who then turned it over twice before passing it to Ju An who was lying on the sofa.
Ju An took it and took a look. It was a small office building with two or three floors, in three styles, modern, European and even more avant-garde. The entire wall looked as if it was crooked. The European style looked better from the outside.
The interior is good, and Ju'an is very satisfied with the modern style. The several steel structure shelves outside are intertwined and look very nice.
He closed the drawing and handed it to Miles: "I think the modern one is good, but forget about the avant-garde one."
"I also think the modern one is good. We are a company, not a museum. It's not suitable to make something crooked. Besides, it's too ugly." Wang Fan said to several people.
"That's it." Mike pulled out the rendering of Hyundai: "The following is about the company's cars. I looked at two options for this, the Mercedes-Benz S Series or the BMW 7 Series."
Wang Fan laughed and joked after listening to Mike's words: "I felt relieved when I heard about Mercedes-Benz, but I was afraid that a Rolls-Royce would come out of my mouth!".
"In China, Audi should be okay," Ju An said to Mike and others.
"I've never driven an Audi, so I don't know how it is," Miles said. Audis are not popular here in the United States, and there are more Mercedes-Benz and BMWs. It's really hard to see Volkswagen models. (To be continued.
