The Rise of the Ranch King

Chapter 250 249. Beef Auction
Beef, beef, beef!
At eight o'clock the next day, Lin Feng arrived at the trading market early with military advisor Charlie and general David.

As a result, the smell here not only did not decrease, but actually sublimated. Even Lin Feng couldn't help but sneeze twice. I don't know if he deliberately retained the original flavor, which is called authentic.

Just think, if the place where you buy and sell cattle has no smell, it means it is definitely not professional.

David pointed to an empty fence rack not far away and said: "That was the special venue where the Otto family used to auction livestock. Now the sign has been removed. It seems that it should be withdrawn."

"How about we settle down?" Lin Feng said proudly.

Charlie took over, "Of course there is no problem, it's just that we don't have that many cattle auctions. At its peak, the Otto family owned thousands of cattle, and they were brought here for auction every day."

Lin Feng was curious about what to do with the remaining cattle after they were all taken away for investigation.

Charlie said: "It is temporarily taken over by the government, and those insignificant figures in the Otto family are expected to be released soon."

"I estimate that Bennett's brother will become the new rancher, provided that enough compensation can be paid," David said.

Bennett has a younger brother? Lin Feng had never heard of it.

It sounds academic, but the fact is that once the Otto family is found guilty, they will need to pay a large amount of compensation.

It is easy to distinguish between local residents and immigrants. The former are dressed casually, while the latter are mostly in suits and ties, and their hair is obviously well-kept.

The smell of beef in the air seemed to turn into the smell of money, making him feel extremely satisfied and excited.

Iron triangle?
Lin Feng likes this title, they are a team.

Whether wearing a police uniform or a rider costume, my little girlfriend looks so heroic and energetic.

The venue was well organized, with auction tables, seating, display areas, and makeshift kitchens and tasting areas all ready.

Lin Feng stood at the door of the auction venue and took a deep breath.

Several well-known chefs and food critics have also been invited to the scene. They will cook and taste the beef from Riverdale Town on site, adding more professionalism and authority to the auction.

They are like a big fat piece of meat. Once they find a breakthrough, all major institutions want to come in and take a bite.

"Where's your dad?" Lin Feng asked.

Their family's land is almost surrounded by the Otto Ranch, which is similar to "National China". They took this opportunity to get out of trouble.

In short, the turbulent largest ranch in Riverdale Town will not stop during this time.

The display table was covered with white cloth, with cut beef samples placed on it. Each piece was clearly marked with its origin and quality grade. Lin Feng noticed that his piece was placed in the most conspicuous position.

“A warm welcome to the Iron Triangle of Lakeside Ranch.”

But both Charlie and David knew that John Otto's youngest son was currently studying in France.

On the day when the Otto family was taken away collectively, Hans once said that he planned to take this opportunity to expand his territory.

And I heard that the U.S. Federal Tax Service also got involved and targeted the Otto family for tax evasion.

I met Jasmine. The police station was responsible for the security of today’s venue.

Jasmine looked at her watch, "I guess I overslept, and I'm probably still on the way."

Kill you while you are sick.

Adrian was still busy and greeted Lin Feng warmly after seeing him.

After Hans arrived, he sat with Lin Feng.

The ranchers have a special viewing area, right next to the bidders' seats.

"Old John is in big trouble this time. It is said that the Internal Revenue Service has found evidence that they have evaded taxes for many years. Once convicted, he will face sky-high fines." Hans continued: "They will definitely sell some of their land by then, and I will have Opportunity to turn around.”

"I wish you good luck." Lin Feng responded with a smile.

But as the storm ends, a shakeup in Riverdale Town is coming.

As the bell rang, the auction officially began.

There was a sudden silence in the venue, and everyone's eyes were focused on the auction stage.

The auctioneer took out the first piece of beef sample and introduced its breed, pasture, taste and unique raising method in detail.

Then he announced the starting price, and the venue immediately erupted in bidding sounds.

The bidding process was extremely fierce, with major steakhouses and meat processors holding up signs, hoping to snap up high-quality beef from Riverdale.

Other ranchers are nervously watching the bidding, hoping that their beef will fetch a good price and bring in a healthy profit.

Lin Feng, on the other hand, seemed relatively calm.

One of the middle-aged people participating in the auction caught Lin Feng's attention. He did not participate in many biddings, but he was generous and decisive, showing his strength and determination without hesitation.

His actions attracted the attention of many people present, and they all speculated on the identity and purpose of the mysterious buyer.

More than an hour later, the climax of the auction finally came. The "beef representative" from Lakeside Ranch was put on the table. In fact, the bidders sitting below did not need to check its texture and richness of oil.

The red Ministry of Agriculture seal above is proof of the best quality.

Lin Feng noticed that in the entire American beef grading system, the worst grade is called "canning grade", which means that the worst meat can only be used to make cans.

It sounds very sad, because Lin Feng used to like canned beef.

Bidding sounds kept coming and going, and prices kept rising.

According to Charlie's suggestion, their beef was divided into five parts according to different parts, so that competitors could fully compete and maximize their profits.

At the same time, it also allows its beef to be sold to more restaurants, which is an invisible advertisement.

In the end, after some fierce bidding, their beef was auctioned off by five companies.

Among them is "Lily and the Goat" by Paul Schneider, and the best part is left to a steakhouse called "SW".

Lin Feng was not familiar with this brand, and Charlie told him that SW was Buffett’s default restaurant for charity lunches.

"SW Steakhouse was famous before Buffett became famous and was favored by many Wall Street people. They like to discuss cooperation and business there. The media hailed it as the house of power on Wall Street." Charlie said.

If that's the case, then it's pretty high quality.

This time, it seems that they are willing to send people to River Valley Town to participate in the beef auction in a small venue, which is indeed condescending.

The steaks used in SW restaurant are all of the highest grade, and SW has the only beef in the United States that has been dry-aged for 28 days.

Dry aging is the most advanced way to eat beef, requiring a dust-free environment and specific wind speed, as well as extremely high hardware equipment and technical requirements.

Just like those top restaurants, they only focus on the quality of the ingredients, and the price is secondary.

Because the rich who enjoy these delicacies don't care how much they spend, they only care about whether they eat good food.

Lin Feng, who has a small world, can undoubtedly satisfy their appetite.
