The Rise of the Ranch King

Chapter 252 Chapter 251. Go to the reservation again

The entire pastoral area knew that Lin Feng wanted to buy calves in large quantities, and the more the better.

Now that I have money in hand, I am starting to become wealthy.

Even if you buy a thousand calves, you only need to spend one million US dollars, and you will have a lot of new income in six months.

It's exciting to think about it, but before buying cattle, you need to check with Montana's Department of Agriculture. They will give you a maximum carrying capacity based on the quality of the grass. This is to prevent overgrazing from degrading the pasture.

After receiving the six million, Lin Feng planned to improve the pasture and increase the carrying capacity.

In fact, there is no problem for the three of them to raise thousands of cows. Just like Uncle David said, they can raise a few hundred cows, but the same goes for a few thousand cows. Besides, they also have four capable dogs.

The Anxi Ranch, the largest in the world, covers an area of ​​2.3 square kilometers, with a maximum of nearly cattle, and only ten employees.

However, Lin Feng will still look for opportunities to add new blood. After all, with the help of Little World, Lakeside Ranch's profit margins have exploded, and it is no problem to raise a few more people.

He made a careful calculation and found that he spent a total of 62 on two cattle purchases last year.

In the last year of busy work, the net profit was US$430 million, which is quite impressive.

The first step is to purchase a group of calves, and secondly, he plans to upgrade the ranch's infrastructure. New barns, more advanced equipment and more are all part of his plans.

Of course, he didn't forget Charlie and David.

Without the hard work of these two people, Lakeside Ranch would not be what it is today.

At this rate, he will become a multi-millionaire next year, with assets exceeding 100 million within a few years, and his future is endless.

He wants to make Lakeside Ranch not only a pasture, but also an all-round, high-quality calf fattening base.

Therefore, after deducting taxes, handling fees and other related expenses, Lin Feng took away 580 million from the beef auction.

So Lin Feng is prepared to increase their salaries and provide better benefits for the two of them. Let the old guys know that hard work pays off.

After getting the money, Lin Feng started a new plan.

First, produce a large proportion of top-quality beef, and secondly, make acquirers willing to pay high premiums. Both are indispensable.

Including forage consumption, three hundred cows consume 200 tons of forage every month. In eight months of fattening, they eat 8 tons. Based on the average of 1600 per ton, they have spent a total of 150 US dollars in this regard.

These must also be included in the cost. The total cost of cattle and grass is 88, plus the salaries of David, Charlie, and Catherine of 40, as well as the usual water and electricity bills and other supports, the cost in a year is close to $150 million.

Charlie and David each received a bonus of 50,000 US dollars, and Catherine received 20,000 US dollars, which is not much compared to the net profit, but now the ranch needs too much money, and Lin Feng has promised to distribute the bonuses in proportion next year.

Lin Feng still has great experience in drawing pie.

It can be said that apart from the big landowners, no other company in the entire River Valley Town can be found with such profitability.

Because the U.S. federal tax law system subsidizes ranching, if the annual turnover is less than 10 million, income tax is levied at the lowest rate of %.

Regarding the purchase of calves, the first choice for cooperation is the Indians. I am afraid they are the only ones around who can satisfy Lin Feng's appetite in terms of quantity.

It is estimated that the Indians are also happy for Lakeside Ranch to help them clean up their "inventory". The quality of the forage in the reservation is average and cannot support that much.

Lin Feng called Jorge. This assistant to the Indian chief had great power in the reservation. He was often seen on TV or in newspapers speaking for Geronimo. On the phone, Jorge expressed great enthusiasm for Lin Feng's intention to cooperate.

He understood that cooperation with Lakeside Ranch would bring huge economic benefits to the reservation and also help them solve the problem of surplus calves, so the two parties agreed to conduct a detailed face-to-face negotiation at the reservation.

The meeting between Lin Feng and Jorge was arranged one morning in an open highland in an Indian reservation.

The terrain here is higher, and you can overlook the vast grassland below and the cattle grazing leisurely. The view is wide and the scenery is pleasant.

When the car from the lakeside ranch slowly drove into the reservation, Jorge, dressed in traditional Indian clothing, was already waiting there early, accompanied by several important figures in the tribe.

Compared to Chief Geronimo, his assistant seems to care more about traditional culture.

After getting off the car, Lin Feng looked around, feeling the unique charm exuded by this ancient and mysterious land.

Although the facilities here are simple, they reveal a simple natural beauty.

After greetings, Jorge invited Lin Feng and his party to their meeting tent.

It's said to be a tent, but it's actually very large, like a barbecue greenhouse, set up on high ground.

The tent was simply and neatly decorated, with a rectangular wooden table in the center, covered with maps and some documents.

As soon as he sat down, Jorge talked about the glorious deeds of the Cowboys' "uprising" in Riverdale Town some time ago.

"You are all warriors and have no fear in the face of power. If it were not for policy reasons, Geronimo would have wanted to send Indian soldiers to support the cowboys." Jorge said sincerely.

Then he started to introduce the animal husbandry situation in the reservation in detail.

Pointing to several areas on the map, he said: "These are our main grazing areas, but the carrying capacity of the grassland is approaching its limit due to too many calves. We need to find the right partners to help solve this problem." "

Lin Feng nodded after hearing this, "I plan to purchase eight hundred calves, and gradually increase the number to thousands in the next few years. At the same time, I also plan to upgrade the infrastructure of the ranch, introduce more advanced feeding equipment and technology, and improve overall productivity.”

These words were all meant for Jorge, meaning that since he was a big customer, if he paid more attention to the price, he could have long-term cooperation in the future.

Jorge's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he understood that this meant huge business opportunities and space for cooperation.

"We are very willing to cooperate with you to provide you with the calves you need. At the same time, we also hope to learn from your advanced feeding technology and grassland management experience to improve the level of our animal husbandry."

Since he became famous, there have been countless ranchers who want to learn from him. Unless they bring the well water from the small world to irrigate those pastures in batches, there is nothing they can do.

Jorge once again proposed a cooperative cattle-raising proposal, which was probably given by Geronimo.

I mentioned it when I bought it last time, but Lin Feng declined.

With his own strength, he can stride forward into the future. He prefers to fight alone, so he has no worries and can let go.

Once you are tied to a certain person or group, problems will inevitably arise.

What Lin Feng wants is freedom.

Of course, on the one hand, it is also due to the special status of Indians. Although the state of Montana has relaxed commercial restrictions on reservations, the antagonism between whites and Indians has not changed much. Lin Feng does not want to take this risk to enter into any joint venture. company.
