Little Life on An American Ranch
Chapter 368: manner
Chapter 368 Attitude
Toby stood in front of Jian Heng, and said seriously: "Boss, we have to talk!"
Jian Heng looked at the serious Toby, smiled and said: "Okay, let's go to the restaurant, it's too cold outside."
As soon as he sent off Morey's hay cart, Toby stopped his boss on Jian Heng's way home. He immediately put on an attitude of "I'm good for the ranch" and decided to stop his boss. prodigal behavior.
Jian Heng also understood what Toby wanted to say to him, so he wanted to invite them into a heated room to talk.
Toby is a very considerate person. Hearing that Jian Heng said he was going to the restaurant, he suggested going to his dormitory. This way, many embarrassing things that may or may not happen can be avoided. Talking about some things in private can take care of everyone's face.
Toby's dormitory is no different from other people's dormitory. In comparison, Toby's dormitory is more old-fashioned than Zhang Jialiang's and even Huang Xiaodong's dormitory, because the walls of the dormitory of these two people will post some beautiful women with less clothes In Toby’s room, except for the pictures of his wife and children, almost all the rest are related to his work. There is an unwoven horsewhip on the chair, and half-made leg pads. The old cowboy's room doesn't look all that tidy.
"The room is a bit messy." As soon as Toby entered the room, he packed a chair for Jian Heng and motioned Jian Heng to sit down, while he himself leaned on the table against the wall.
The class consciousness of American cowboys is not so strong in life. I have to listen to the boss seriously if I don’t talk about it. The current way of chatting is the norm.
"Boss, the ranch's silage can no longer be sold." Toby's first words came straight to the point: "We have a lot of silage, but there are more people who need it outside. If we keep it for two more days, we will be able to keep it for a while." Pounds can be sold for an additional 20% profit, and you have seriously lost the interests of the ranch company by doing so, which is a wrong behavior.”
In Toby’s mind, it’s perfectly normal for Chinese people to speculate like this. The goods in my hands are scarce, so it’s normal to sell them at a high price. If I don’t do it, it can only prove that I have no business sense. Is it stupid? Yes, not because you are kind.
It is legal if it is not prohibited by the law, and there is no such thing as hoarding in the United States. This kind of behavior is the most normal business method. So Toby was very dissatisfied that his boss bought a quarter of all the silage in just two days from yesterday to this afternoon.
As a qualified manager of the ranch, Toby thought he had to talk to his boss. It was understandable for Toby to communicate with Walsh and Anderson, but even the Moreys could do it in a relatively 'fair way'. ' to buy more and more scarce silage, Toby felt that he had to express his opinion, or he was dereliction of duty. At the same time, he advised his boss not to do such stupid things again.
"I know that Morey is the last one to enjoy this price!" Jian Heng admired Toby's behavior very much. It is actually a very gratifying thing to consider issues from the standpoint of the ranch.
It is true that there are sometimes good words, and flattering words are more comfortable to listen to, but it has to be such words that are really useful.
Toby opened his mouth again and said: "I hope you can discuss with us before you agree to others next time, and control the quantity and price you buy."
Jian Heng laughed and said, "No problem, I can give you the key to the silo tomorrow!"
Jian Heng finally found out that this money is not so easy to earn. Since this morning, his mobile phone has been ringing non-stop. Some people he knows can only talk and let them call. Ask Jian Heng about the price of silage here, and some people even directly raise the price on the market price to buy.
Because of a heavy snowstorm, it is normal for the price of silage to rise, but now things have developed some abnormal phenomena, that is, the original normal price increase seems to have formed a kind of panic. The silage ranchers also began to join the ranks of buying silage, which made Jian Heng smell a bit of conspiracy.
"That's good! If there is anyone you don't want to deal with, you can push it directly on my head. I think the price of silage will go up. From my experience, the price will double, at least! said Toby.
Toby also judged from the news he got that the silage might increase even more. Toby’s news came from his former colleagues on the ranch. In the past, Toby was fired because of his timidity. Almost all the cowboys in the ranch looked down on this coward. Thinking that he is simply the scum of the cowboys, some of the grumpy ones can accuse Sang Huai and say a few words directly in front of Toby.
But what is embarrassing now is that the cowboys of the big ranch come to their senses and think about it again. If the relationship between the ranch and the wolf king is handled according to Dangche Toby's suggestion, one or two cows may be lost, but it is absolutely impossible to produce For the current loss, we must know that the wolves commanded by the wolf king attack the bulls the most. For the pastures, the bulls are not just strong and healthy. There may be one generation or even several generations on the bulls. The heart of a cowboy.
For the big ranch, although the dead bull will not be able to return to the pre-liberation overnight, it is definitely considered a traumatic injury.
The more the facts prove that the wolf king can't be provoked, the more positive Toby's image will be. Not only is no one making fun of Toby anymore, some former colleagues who were originally hostile to Toby can still meet Toby. Chatted a few words from time to time, and even a few felt sorry, and even apologized to Toby face to face.
"Double, I think the current price is a bit crazy." Jian Heng sighed and said, now the price of silage is sold at the price of grain, and it is still soaring all the way, which makes Jian Heng really don't know what to say.
"Let's go up, the higher the rise, the better for us!" Toby had no interest in caring about the life and death of other ranches, and even after he heard that the ranch had stored so much silage, he jumped up and waved Whispering his fists, he cursed happily: Fa Keao, Fuyou!
"By the way, wild deer, bison, etc. should not be taken in anymore." Jian Heng thought of something at this time, and said to Toby.
With the advent of this snowstorm, not only the great difficulties brought to people's lives, but even greater difficulties to animals, the first to bear the brunt are the herbivores, who can't find grass, and many of them have begun to eat the grass they used to eat. The leaves that have never been touched, and even some animals died directly on the way to find food because of the heavy snow.
This is true for herbivores, and the situation of carnivores is not optimistic. Every time they come out to hunt, they need to spend several times their energy. The more energy they consume, the more food they need, and the more food they need. It means going out to hunt more frequently, which forms an unsolvable deadlock.
"The avalanche still needs to be cleaned up, it will take at least three days, and I heard that the road on the other side of the mountain pass is very icy, and the temperature has dropped sharply in the past two days, and the road is iced all day long, even if it is a worker The progress of melting ice is not too ideal," Toby said to Jian Heng.
Now that the two are in chat mode, Toby began to complain about the state government's disaster relief efforts.
To be honest, the speed of the disaster relief by the Americans also made Jian Heng feel quite fucked. Jian Heng really didn't want to complain about these old beauties, and he didn't know where the politicians' brains were. A group of National Guards jumped out. Instead of rushing to rescue the disaster, clear the snow, and connect the internal and external roads, they did the job of maintaining stability and preventing any incidents of vandalism and robbery.
Jian Heng even wondered if these people were bought by the silage company to deliberately push up the price of silage. Otherwise, how could there be such a brain-dead method.
They clearly know that once the internal and external roads are connected, everything will no longer be a problem, and the sooner they are connected, life will return to normal one day sooner, but these people just pretend not to see it, not because it is too cold today It was just an excuse that the sun stayed in the sky for too little time, and a group of soldiers shrank their heads and put their hands around the roadside, and started doing police work in a daze.
This brain opening made Jian Heng think that it could be compared to the football association of a certain big country. He thought of a national team to participate in the league, and he couldn't use foreign aid during the game. He even shamelessly called it training the team. I don't know what kind of team a group of idiots who can't even play against a team of civil servants, doctors, and teachers can play with a group of idiots!
This group of politicians don’t even think about it. It’s winter, the sun stays in the sky for most of the day, and you bureaucrats are still used to deal with mountain pass avalanches?
Don't they know? They know it, but they are not doing business, and they have the strength to gossip in newspapers and TV every day, attacking each other and grandstanding.
But as a vested interest, Jian Heng appreciates the Tai Chi kung fu of these bureaucrats, because the better they practice Tai Chi, the bigger Jian Heng's pockets will be.
Now that things have come to an end, the small country in the United States is in such dire straits that Jian Heng can't do without releasing it. It really makes people wonder what to say.
After negotiating this matter, Jian Heng left Toby's room and handed it over to the warehouse tomorrow morning because Jian Heng still wanted to replenish the silage in the warehouse. A batch of grass in the space had already been collected. Storing it can almost be taken out for takeout. How can Jian Heng feel at ease if he doesn't earn money that is almost equivalent to robbing.
Turned into the warehouse and locked the door directly. Jian Heng almost pushed all the silage bags off the roof, so he gave up!
