Lao Xu came and left in a hurry, without even drinking water.
As soon as Lao Xu left, Zhang Chi was the only one left on the ranch. Then he started browsing the web to see where there were cows to buy.
After looking around for a long time, I couldn't find anything suitable. Either the location was too unlucky, or the price was a bit expensive. Anyway, there wasn't a rancher that was close to a cheap place that Zhang Chi wanted to sell his calves.
After a day of hard work, at about ten o'clock the next morning, Zhang Chi was preparing to go out to buy groceries and wait to entertain the old Mo Cannon who was helping him in the evening. Who knew that Cannon called and said that the ranch had to work overtime in the evening and could not
coming.
After hearing this, Zhang Chi was not ready to leave the ranch. Instead, he spent another day at the ranch and continued to look for useful information online.
Today he did not turn over cattle, but turned over some things that he thought could be used, such as drones for ranches, etc. Don’t look at places like Amazon. The things above were a bit expensive for Zhang Chi. He
The main ones I look at are Chinese sellers and websites like overseas Taobao. Most of the items on them are from China, the prices are cheap, and the quality is good.
Because he was going to Los Angeles to shoot a print advertisement in two days, Zhang Chi planned to decide what he wanted to buy in the next two days, and when he arrived in Los Angeles, he would stop by the seller to pick it up.
As for this thing, Zhang Chi doesn't want to spend the money if he wants it to be delivered to the door. Moreover, the express delivery here also has the name of express delivery. It is normal to wait for ten and a half months to buy something, no matter how long it takes.
Zhang Chi has already waited, so if possible, it is best to pick it up yourself, it is faster than any express delivery.
After browsing for a while, Zhang Chi found a merchant with a good reputation. The praise rate was quite high and the popularity was pretty good. Stores like this generally have guaranteed quality.
I added the store owner’s WeChat account, and the store owner said that he runs a farm in Los Angeles, and doing reverse overseas shopping is considered a side job.
Hearing that Zhang Chi was engaged in ranching, the owner talked about his own experience.
Can talk!
This was the first impression the shop owner had on Zhang Chi, and he was enthusiastic.
Xiang Chi recommended a drone for spraying pesticides in China, saying it was the best sold there. Many foreign farmers and ranchers came to buy it from him, and they talked a lot about it.
Zhang Chi didn't see the real thing, so he told him to go and have a look when he went to Los Angeles in a few days.
In this case, Zhang Chi will have to wait for the notification from Melika.
Melika's notice did not come, but the auction in the town over there was about to begin.
Zhang Chi then thought about it and rented a trailer from a rental company, hooked it to his pickup truck, and headed to the town where the auction was held early in the morning.
For one hour and twenty minutes, the living animals Zhang Chi saw along the way were either cattle, sheep or wild deer. From time to time, he could also see a group of American bison crossing the road boldly. He saw a lot of animals and a lot of living people.
You can count them in one slap.
This is the West, a truly vast land with sparsely populated areas. There are many times more cattle and sheep than people.
I followed the navigation to the vicinity of the auction town, and the road slowly became lively. Because there was an auction, the town was crowded with many people, many of whom came with cattle and sheep, so on the way into the town,
Cattle carts, large and small, can be seen everywhere.
The big one was like a truck with a long head, and the small one was like Zhang Chi now, with a small trailer attached to the back of the pickup truck.
The traffic jam started outside the town, but it was very convenient for Zhang Chi. He didn't need to ask people how to get there, he just followed the traffic jam and arrived at his destination.
The livestock auction house is not in a small town. If this thing were placed in the center of a small town, in a place where people live, if nothing else, after an auction, it is estimated that the people in the small town will not be able to stay, and there will be cow shit and sheep everywhere.
Shit.
People may abide by the rules, but cattle and sheep will definitely not consider the place when they want to poop. They usually do it casually and poop whenever they want.
As soon as he arrived at the auction house, he found a place to park the car. Before he got out of the car, Zhang Chi heard someone calling him.
"George, George!"
Zhang Chi didn't think it was him, but when he heard the voice, he subconsciously turned his head and took a look, and saw Cannon with a smile on his face waving to him.
"Why are you here too?"
Zhang Chi smiled and closed the car door and walked over.
In addition to Cannon, there were several other cowboys, a few Latino faces, and two or three white people gathered together. It was obvious that these people were Cannon's colleagues.
Zhang Chi smiled at them and said hello. Some people responded enthusiastically, but others seemed a bit perfunctory.
Zhang Chi had no time to argue with them, but turned his attention to Cannon.
"We came here to sell cattle."
As he spoke, Cannon turned around and pointed at the long-headed truck not far behind him.
The big truck is loaded with cattle.
The cattle raised in Cannon's pasture are all pure beef cattle, and the breed is quite good. For example, the car in front of you is filled with Charolais cattle. This kind of cattle is native to France. The meat produced has less fat and less cholesterol.
Low, so it is more popular in the market.
It has to be said that after Zhang Chi bought the ranch, his understanding of cattle has been half-stepped through the door, and he can still recognize some commonly used cattle breeds.
Zhang Chi also likes this kind of cow, but now he can only take a look. It's not that he can afford this kind of cow. It's not that he can't afford it, but that his budget can't afford to buy a few calves. Same thing.
In terms of money, it is better to raise some ordinary cattle than to buy such expensive cattle in the first place.
"Pretty awesome cow".
The cows are indeed very good, and all of them are very strong. Although Zhang Chi doesn't know much about them, he can guess a thing or two by looking at the cow's mental state and coat color.
"This batch of cattle is good. By the way, what are you doing here, buying cattle?" Cannon asked.
"Well, come and have a look and buy some ordinary cows," Zhang Chi said.
Cannon knew what kind of ordinary cow Zhang Chi was talking about, so he said: "It will probably have to wait until the afternoon. If everything goes well with me, I will go find you then."
"That's okay!" Zhang Chi smiled.
"Cannon, it's time to work!"
Zhang Chi finally found an acquaintance here, and was about to chat a few more words, when suddenly there was a shout from over there.
Cannon smiled and said: "I'm going to work."
Zhang Chi nodded and watched as Cannon and Xiao ran over to work.
Zhang Chi had no place to go now, so he walked around and arrived at the auction house, where he noticed on the notice board outside that the auctions were for small things like pigs and sheep.
Anyway, nothing happened, so Zhang Chi walked in to take a look.
The auction house is quite formal. It is actually a house. This is rare in the neighborhood. Usually, it is an open-air auction house. There are very few such formal houses.
The auction venue is circular. When you enter, it looks like a stadium. There are stands. In the center are the goods to be auctioned, and the auctioneer occupies a high platform.
As soon as his front foot entered, Zhang Chi heard the auctioneer shouting at the top of his lungs: "Two thousand three hundred yuan for the first time, two thousand three hundred yuan for the second time...".
Two thousand three hundred dollars?
Zhang Chi subconsciously looked at the things taken in the field.
When Zhang Chi discovered that there was a little pig at the scene, he felt that he had made a mistake.
There was a little piggy running around in the field, with its tail in a circle, humming and hahahahahahahahaha, and I don’t know how hard it was running. I guess it felt that its worth was a bit high.
"Two thousand three hundred dollars for a pig?"
Zhang Chi muttered something and started looking around the place to find out who the idiot was calling the price. If there is a chance, he must make friends with such a fool.
There are almost ten calves on top of a pig. Is Zhang Chi surprised?
While looking for Zhang Chi, he said to himself: "Is this pig made of gold? It costs 2,300 yuan."
There were a lot of people in the venue, with an attendance rate of almost 60-70%, which was considered lively in the west. However, despite the large number of people, Zhang Chi quickly targeted the bidders.
A middle-aged white man, he doesn't look like a money-hungry man like Zhang Chi. He looks like a guy in a suit who takes money instead of money!
This made Zhang Chi feel a little jealous.
The pig for 2,300 yuan was sold, and the next three goats were sold for 700 yuan, making Zhang Chi feel that this world was a little unreal.
Seeing this, Zhang Chi couldn't stand it anymore, because these guys gave people the impression that what they took out of their pockets was not money, and it would be difficult to pick a piece of steel out of his own pocket.
After walking around for a while, Zhang Chi realized that it was better to stay outside. The auction house now smelled like money.
If you want to buy cattle, you have to go to a place that sells cattle.
There are some livestock pens around the auction house, some big and some small. The big ones are divided into groups, and some of the small ones only contain one cow.
Don't underestimate this cow, the price of one cow can almost buy a group of cows.
Cattle that can enjoy single stalls are generally breeding cattle, that is, breeding bulls.
What is the most intuitive feeling this kind of cow gives people?
That’s a big one!
Huge in stature!
This kind of breeding bull is generally larger than the normal breeding bull, and the price can go up several times.
What Zhang Chi is holding in a single pen in front of him is an Angus bull. Only by standing in front of it can you feel its beauty. It is like a small wall of flesh, and its black fur is as shiny as satin.
Generally, there are almost no bones visible in the whole body, and it is not fat, but solid muscles.
be envious!
Zhang Chi really likes Angus cattle, like the Angus cattle in front of him, which is estimated to weigh almost a ton, and may be overweight. The price of breeding cattle like this will definitely not be cheap.
At this time, Zhang Chi knew that he was just here to enjoy the sight. With the money in his pocket, he would probably buy one of these bulls, which would cost him his own house and herd of cattle.
After walking around the breeding bull, Zhang Chi went to look at the cows, and from time to time he listened to the cowboys talk about cows.
After this morning's shopping, Zhang Chi didn't feel tired at all. Just like a woman shopping, Zhang Chi was at full power and almost looked around the auction house.
At noon, Zhang Chi casually bought a burrito from a nearby stall. After filling his stomach, he returned to the car and wanted to take a nap while waiting for the market to open in the afternoon.
