Little Life on An American Ranch
Chapter 331: Make money first (2)
Chapter 331 Making money is the foundation (2)
After watching it for a while, Jian Heng was not interested in reading any more. Anyway, Jian Heng would never eat beef produced by this company again in his life. Not only did he not eat it himself, but his family and friends also had to inform him that this stuff It's scary to think about the fact that the green beef that my son bought at a huge price can still eat hormone meat.
Spending too much money and eating substandard products, these businessmen are really black-hearted, and in Jian Heng's eyes, it is not an exaggeration to shoot them.
Walking to the door, within a hundred meters, Jian Heng saw a ten-year-old boy sitting on the ground wiping his tears. There were six yellow cattle behind him. The yellow cattle were not big, four cows plus two young bulls. Almost all of them weighed more than five hundred catties, obviously smaller than the cows inside.
Just looking at it, Jian Heng understood that these cows were mostly grass-fed, and even if they ate grains, the amount was not much.
Just as Jian Heng was looking at the cow curiously, a man in his thirties came out dejectedly, holding a piece of paper in one hand and a cigarette between the other fingers, it may be too hard , the body of the cigarette is a little pinched.
"Big! (meaning father in rural dialect) Are our cattle not for sale?" The little boy said to the man.
The man said: "What if you don't sell it?"
Jian Heng was a little curious after hearing this: "Your cows are well fed, why don't you sell them? The price is not right?"
The man glanced at Jian Heng, opened his mouth and sighed first: "Oh! It's not a question of whether the price is right or not. If I sell this cow, I will lose money. It doesn't matter. I will pay according to the contract. People buy fodder to feed them, and they grow up and make money in a few months. The contract clearly states that only grass is allowed to be fed, and grains cannot exceed a certain number of days...but now they don’t recognize it in black and white.”
The middle-aged man looked like he was about to cry.
"How much did I give you?" Jian Heng asked curiously.
The man didn't say much, and directly threw the list in his hand in front of Jian Heng: "Here!"
Jian Heng took a look, then took a visual inspection of the cattle, and said: "It is true that there are too few, such cattle must be paid at least 25% more to make money!"
The man glanced at Jian Heng and said, "Big brother, do you also raise cattle?"
"Raise a little!" Jian Heng said with a smile.
Jianheng has a very simple estimation method here. The U.S. dollar price is multiplied by the benchmark value and the latter unit is directly converted into RMB.
After speaking, my heart moved, and I stretched out my finger to touch the cow, indicating if I could touch it. Seeing the man nodded, Jian Heng walked directly to the cow and touched the cow carefully. Based on Jian Heng's experience , These cows are in good health, and they are well-fed. At least from the outside of the cow, these cows are taken care of regularly, unlike the many cows inside, which look like they were raised dirty.
The boy turned to his father and asked, "Boss, let's drive the cow back and stop selling it to these bad guys!"
"Hurry back and sell it to whom?" The man's face darkened after hearing what his son said, and he reached out and touched his son's head: "Even if it is a loss, I have to sell it. If you go back, you will lose more and more!"
Jian Heng touched two cows at this time, and said to the father and son when he heard this: "Wait a while, I will take a look at your cows, and I will buy them if they are suitable."
"You buy it? What about my six cows, at most you can buy one and go home to kill and eat it" the man said.
Seeing Jian Heng's attire and tone of voice, the man knew that this was not a farmer's family, at least he was at the level of a small boss. He would definitely be able to buy a cow, but he was a little skeptical about buying six.
"Isn't it over there? I won't delay you if I look here, just in case I want to make a round." Jian Heng said with a smile.
The man was right when he thought about it, so he smiled and said, "Then you can see it."
After speaking, he turned to his son and asked, "Son, are you hungry?"
The little guy was obviously hungry. He licked his lips immediately when he heard his father's question, but quickly shook his head: "I'm not hungry, I'm waiting to go home, my mother has already cooked at home."
He said so, but his eyes looked at the meat bun shop next to him across the road.
"There are still two meat buns short of money!" The man reached out and stroked the boy's head, and took out a denim wallet from the inner pocket of the ski jacket, took out five dollars from it, thought for a while and took out two One piece, then stuffed the wallet back into the underwear, and walked towards the bun shop.
After buying two steamed buns and a bowl of pumpkin porridge, the father and father squatted on the ground and sucked it up. The so-called half-grown boy eats the poor old man. The man gave a meat bun to his son, watched his son eat it up, and then took it out of his hands. Breaking apart the bun, he handed the stuffed meat to his son, but he stuffed the skin into his mouth.
Seeing the scene of the father and son, Jian Heng suddenly thought of his father when his family was in trouble, when he was in his teens, when the family was in trouble.
I didn’t understand this kind of paternal love before, and felt that I was a bit ashamed of living at home, but now I understand, and looking back at my father at that time, I admire my persistence and calmness.
There were two cows left, and Jian Heng didn't check. He just watched the father and son finish their meal. The man wiped his mouth, handed the empty bowl to his son, and motioned him to give the bowl to the shop opposite. go back.
"How about it?"
"The cows are well-fed, and the quality is very good. I want them. When you go back to raise cattle this time, you must pay attention to it. Don't be so stupid. Everyone feeds the fodder, but you also use grass to feed them. Not only does it take a long time, but also the meat grows." Slow down, how can a person like you make money in this forward-looking era!" Jian Heng said.
The man shook his head and said, "If I don't raise it anymore, I won't be able to earn the black-hearted money that kills off my children and grandchildren!"
Seeing Jian Heng looking at him, the man said: "Have you ever eaten something that is fed with that kind of feed? I worked in a chicken farm before. Do you know how long it takes for a chicken to get out of the cage? If I tell you, you won't even Believe me! It’s all hormone feed, which can be regarded as retribution. The boss’s daughter has menstruation since she was five years old. I don’t want to commit this crime. After selling two or three heads, I will go out to work.”
Jian Heng listened, and stretched out his hand to pat the man on the shoulder: "Now there are fewer people with a conscience!"
"Who says it's not!" The man smiled wryly and shook his head.
Jian Heng saw the man's son came back, so he said to the man: "Help me drive the cow to a place where there is no one, so that no one will find out. I have a bit of a holiday with their company, so it's okay to buy your cow openly." it is good…".
The man nodded and said: "I understand, Shuang Qiang, drive the cattle to Linziba over there."
Jian Heng turned around and took out 10,000 yuan, and put it in the man's hand: "This is a deposit, drive the cattle to a secluded place, and I'll give you the rest."
"Okay, okay!" The man took the money, touched it and knew that the money was real, and it was not easy to fake a new bill.
When Jian Heng drove the car to the so-called Linziba, the father and son had already driven the cattle there. When Jian Heng arrived at the place, he couldn't help but praise that it was a good place, the surroundings were not easy to be found, and it was quite easy to observe the surroundings from here.
"This is the remaining money." Jian Heng took out another half of the wad of money from his pocket.
The man said in surprise: "This is too much!"
"Your cattle are worth this money. They don't know what to buy, and I'm not a black-hearted profiteer. I'll give you whatever it's worth. You deserve it," Jian Heng said.
"This..." The man hesitated a little.
"Is your cow worth the money?" Jian Heng asked with a smile.
The man shook his head first, then nodded again, so that Jian Heng didn't know what he meant.
Jian Heng said again: "Actually, I want these cows to be breeding cows. Seeing that your cows are good and the feeding is fine, in general, I still make money. You can treat it as a rare business for us." honest man!"
Seeing the cattle raised by this man, Jian Heng had an idea. In addition to farming, in the space, let these slaves cultivate a good breed of cattle for themselves. Anyway, they are idle when they are idle.
Hearing what Jian Heng said, the man smiled at Jian Heng honestly: "Thank you brother, if there is anything in the future, go to Wangjiacun to find me, my name is Wang Shiliang."
"Okay, okay!" Jian Heng raised his hand to signal that the two of them could leave.
Waiting for the two of them to leave happily, Jian Heng raised his hand and put all the cattle into the space, then got into the car and borrowed a road to bypass Liu Ji and turn back to the county.
Seeing that it was almost noon, Jian Heng still had dinner here, and he was annoyed that he invited so many people, so Jian Heng simply put all the acquaintances together, and went directly to a restaurant with a certain quality Please them.
So Jane fixed the private room, sat in the private room and waited for the person she invited to come.
