To the north of Garrison Ranch is a large area of high-quality pasture, with cattle sheds and sheep pens concentrated here. To the west is the extension of the Rocky Mountains, where hunting areas and deer farms are located.
To the northeast of the ranch is the Ent Airport, which is almost next to the ranch, separated only by a secondary road leading to the town of Celias.
Starting from Ruisi Lake in the middle of the ranch, along the Ruisi River to the east and south, there are newly built planting and breeding projects.
The southern part of the ranch is adjacent to the Interstate Highway, which is the most important transportation artery connecting several states in the northwestern United States.
If you drive east on the interstate highway, you will find Billings, about a hundred kilometers away. If you drive west, you will not far away from Yellowstone National Park.
Continuing westward, this interstate highway will cross the Rocky Mountains and lead to the West Coast of the United States.
Therefore, the main entrance to Garrison Ranch is on the south side, just off the interstate.
To the west of the ranch gate is the newly built Billings-Garrison Rodeo Arena, and to the east of the gate is the Yayuan Jockey Club and racetrack.
Jiayi International Garrison Ranch Resort is built on the south bank of Reese Lake, and Sun Dahai's manor is on the west bank of the lake.
Sun Dahai didn't even get out of the car. He drove around in a circle and spent more than an hour.
However, he had a substantial understanding of the current situation of Garrison Ranch and was no longer limited to the boring data on the report.
Sun Dahai directly pointed out Linkwood's problem: he confused the income and expenditures of the Billings-Garrison Rodeo Arena and Jiayi International Garrison Ranch Resort with the income and expenditures of the ranch itself.
That's why it seems that the ranch cannot make ends meet.
Fortunately, he was quite smart and did not include the Yayuan Jockey Club.
The total investment in Yayuan Racing Club (including Yayuan Racecourse) is hundreds of millions of dollars. It only spent more than half of the investment on the introduction of five racing-level young horses and three retired racing horses (stallions).
Such an investment scale is higher than the value of the entire Garrison Ranch. If calculated together, Linkwood would cry to death?
Jiayi International Garrison Ranch Resort started operating at the beginning of the year, and the American branch of Jiayu International Travel Service, which is responsible for the promotion business, has just been established. Their most important job now is to integrate various projects in the ranch and transform these projects as soon as possible
become an attractive tourism resource.
Therefore, it can be said that Jiayu International Travel Agency, the main force in promoting the ranch tourism business, has not really started its work yet.
At present, the resort's tourists mainly come from the recommendation of Blue Ocean International, Citibank's CPC department, and tourists introduced by Maggie, Joseph and his son Sean through their personal relationships. Therefore, tourists appear to be sporadic.
There is no scale.
This is not a mistake in the work of Jiahua Investment Company, but rather intentional. After Chen Feng organized Jiahua’s senior management to carefully summarize the experience and lessons learned from the Daqingshan project, he made this decision: in the early stage, by receiving a small number of tourists, the relevant
The personnel and all aspects of the project are being run-in and improved, and as the comprehensive reception capacity increases, the number of people receiving the project will be slowly expanded.
The target range of each project of Jiahua is high-end people, and the tourist experience must be guaranteed and cannot be discounted.
Therefore, Jiahua decided that when formulating the number of receptions for each project in the future, the lower limit of reception capacity should be used as the basis, that is, the shortest link in the barrel effect should be used as the basis for quantity to formulate promotion and reception plans.
The current shortcoming of Garrison Ranch is that the production of its own specialty products cannot keep up with demand. This is very similar to the Daqingshan project.
In addition to Angus cattle breeding, other improvement projects (sheep breeding) and new projects have just begun on the ranch. It will take at least a year before these products can reach a certain scale and form a healthy self-cycle.
Jiayu International Travel Agency was established as a travel company acquired by Jiahua. Its original business scope was mainly concentrated in Asia (Southeast Asia) and Oceania.
Therefore, for Jiayu International to open an American branch and a European branch, it needs to build a complete business network from scratch, but this cannot be achieved overnight.
Although Susan did not hesitate to use a hoe to poach corners from her family's travel agency and hired several experienced industry insiders, the two newly established branches still needed a certain amount of time to improve their own construction.
Therefore, whether the resort has the current passenger flow or the ranch achieves balance of payments, it has already met Jiahua’s current requirements for this project.
Linkwood was not very clear about the senior management's development plan for this project. He had a strong sense of responsibility. Seeing that the ranch's management was transforming into a tourism project, and the number of tourists was insufficient, it would be difficult to recover the investment in the short term. Therefore, Linkwood felt that
Somewhat anxious.
Sun Dahai learned about the situation and had an idea in his mind. At this time, he did not explain the reason to Linkwood, but just kept it in his heart.
Jiahua had to handle these matters himself. Sun Dahai asked Gao Yi to tell Chen Feng the situation, but he would not overstep his authority.
Back at the manor, the butler Dalton was standing at the gate to greet Sun Dahai.
Today is Independence Day. All the prominent people in the ranch, except Dalton, have gone to attend town activities and won't be back until the afternoon.
According to the tradition of the town of Selias, a float parade will be organized on the morning of Independence Day. At noon, the town will take care of the food. The food is very simple, which is a hamburger, fried chicken and French fries per person, as well as drinks or beer.
However, the sponsorship fees brought in by the town each year are not very large, so the townspeople must also bear part of it. Each adult town citizen has to spend a few dollars. Outsiders do not need to spend money, but they must report to the town in advance.
.
According to Dalton, the townspeople even saved the money this year. Manuel, the big dog owner, also celebrated Independence Day here this year, and he took all the money.
After Maniel went to Dubai with the delegation to hand over work, he returned to the United States. He first went to the university to take the exam, and then came back here to wait for Sun Dahai.
As for his and Sun Dahai's new project in Dubai, Maniel will naturally not take care of it personally. Dejaminha stayed in Dubai to deal with this matter.
Although Maniel's pasture has been transferred to Sun Dahai, the manor still remains, located between the Reese River and the racecourse.
Sun Dahai had no intention of asking him to move away. Not to mention they were partners. Even if there was no such relationship, it was just a simple transfer of pasture. In a large pasture of 40,000 acres, wouldn't there be room for a small manor of ten acres?
?
However, Maniel himself proposed that after he finishes college next year, his estate will be transferred to the Yayuan Jockey Club for free.
