Rural life in America

Chapter 128 Sudden Cooperation

The new house has just started construction, and the yacht is only under inspection. Zhang Hao naturally knows that there are many things that cannot be rushed; what he needs to do now is to make a lot of money, and he needs to make a lot of money. There are too many places for money.

The new house needs money, and the yacht needs money. The most important thing is that the money in Zhang Hao's hands is all bank loans, which must be repaid.

And in mid-January, the IRS has started to accept personal electronic tax returns; Zhang Hao has earned a lot of money and spent a lot of money in the past year.Buying ranches and the like can be tax-free, but Zhang Hao still needs to pay a tax, even if he has some reasonable means of tax avoidance, but this figure makes Zhang Hao feel terrified.

No way, I used to feel that if I had hundreds of thousands of dollars, I would be satisfied; but now that I think about paying hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxes, can I not feel distressed!
There is no way, although Zhang Hao does not want to pay such a large amount of tax, but the reality is that if he does not pay taxes, he will not live in peace, and Zhang Hao knows what he should do.

Zhang Hao doesn't need to worry too much about taxation, the accountant can help him handle a series of things; what Zhang Hao needs to do is to go out to make money, and continue to go out to make money.

There is no horse racing for the time being, but he can be a consultant to others; besides, Zhang Hao has entered the ranks of veterinarians anyway, even if he has not received much recognition.

Regardless of whether it is active or passive, anyway, Zhang Hao has shown a certain sense of professionalism now; Barney and Phil are naturally very happy that Zhang Hao has such a professional heart.

They are working hard to help Zhang Hao contact customers, because they can also get a certain commission; compared with the income of horse racing, it is definitely not as good, but who makes horse racing not happen every day?What's more, as long as Zhang Hao becomes a master, the fees will definitely get higher and higher in the future, and naturally the commission will become more and more sufficient.

Although this small studio is understaffed and resource-rich, it is constantly developing; coupled with intentional or unintentional hype and publicity, Zhang Hao is now getting more and more attention and popularity, which is all benefit.

The group went straight to Montana, a well-known agricultural and animal husbandry state in the United States; it is sparsely populated, and thousands of acres of pastures are not new here, because the land prices here are relatively cheap.

Zhang Hao will definitely not move here, although it is good to develop a ranch here, but it is too cold; but you can do business, come and get in touch with more ranchers, especially those who run relatively high-end ranches Lord, these are also some potential cooperation partners of Zhang Hao.

People in the business field are still very good at doing things, at least they are very good at saving face; the development of Zhang Hao's ranch will definitely affect the interests of some people, but that is too far away, coupled with the mid-to-high-end market It is relatively large, so it doesn't matter that Zhang Hao comes to take a share of the pie. Who made Zhang Hao's ranch too small, and now many ranchers look down on the output of Longbow Ranch.

Phil bumped Zhang Hao's shoulder, pouted and whispered, "Hao, look at his pasture and his cattle, I think you will be very envious. God, this is a pasture of more than 3000 acres. It still produces high-quality beef cattle, so he must have made a lot of money!"

Although Leonard, who is driving, is very envious of having such a large ranch, although Zhang Hao's words are a little acidic, he still has confidence, "There is nothing to envy. His ranch costs more than mine. Although my ranch Now the area is small, and the slaughter volume is average. But I have my advantage, and the profit margin is obviously higher on my pasture.”

Phil knew that Zhang Hao was telling the truth, but he was still teasing Zhang Hao, "Is that so? Maybe what you said is very reasonable, but I think it will take a long time for you to develop the ranch to the scale he has here. time."

Zhang Hao didn’t think so, he was very confident, “When my pasture matures and my cattle breed matures, then I can buy a bigger pasture. At that time, I can buy more expensive pastures in Montana or Texas.” Low, bigger ranch, it's not a big problem for me, I just need a little time, I'm making a top ranch from a weak base, and there's a big difference between these ranches with a great base."

Self-made is the most difficult, there is no doubt about it; Zhang Hao can also be sure that he just needs a little time.So there is no need to envy those big ranchers, Zhang Hao just needs a little time, that's all!

This time, he is not only here to help Leonard look at the horses, but also to learn from him. Although Zhang Hao is very confident in his ranch, he also wants to know the business models of other successful ranches. He knows that he still has a lot Areas that need to be improved.

So after arriving at Leonard's house, they just took a short rest before setting off. A group of people rode horses to see the cattle.

Zhang Hao is full of expectations for this matter. He wants to learn from others' strengths and must learn for the better development of the ranch!

Leonard is very enthusiastic and a bit self-confident. He knows that Zhang Hao is a rancher, so there are many topics, "Hao, your ranch needs to control the carrying capacity, and you can't hurt the grass roots. I know the price of those cattle is very high." Yes, their quality is also very good. It’s just that you need to understand that pasture is fundamentally pasture, and that’s where you can always make money.”

Zhang Hao smiled and said, "Of course, I understand this truth, but my cattle eat different feeds. They don't depend too much on pasture. I'm calculating the carrying capacity and the growth cycle of pasture. It's not a big problem. .”

Leonard continued to ask, "How long is your cow's cycle?"

Zhang Hao felt complacent and said proudly, "I can control them for about nine months. If you want to ensure the highest quality, ten months may be better."

Leonard frowned all of a sudden, "Man, you should know that the beef grading standards include slaughter procedures, feeding methods, and feeding choices. But we must admit that age has strict requirements on the quality of beef, and you can't let them go too quickly. This will affect the quality of the beef."

Zhang Hao naturally knows this. Beef is graded too much. In addition to some main standards, there are also some factors that affect the grade of beef, such as part and gender.But for Zhang Hao, he has confidence.

"The feed has a great impact, and the way they are raised is also very particular. I have seen your cattle, you strictly control the exercise time to ensure their fat content, but this will increase your breeding costs , and the feed is very fine. But I can choose the feed and control it when they are too fat."

Leonard still has a lot of curiosity. As a child who grew up on a ranch, as an excellent rancher, Leonard can be said to be quite familiar with the operation of the ranch and the breed of cattle.So it is not difficult to understand that he has a lot of curiosity, because some of Zhang Hao's actions seem to him to be beyond the norm.

Zhang Hao also intends to communicate more with an experienced rancher, even though most of the things Zhang Hao can't change because of other people's suggestions, it's just that there is no harm in listening to more opinions on some things.

The two chatted more and more speculatively, especially when Zhang Hao said that he wanted to send a cow test report, Leonard became more excited. He wanted to see if the methods Zhang Hao said were really useful.

"Hao, your ranch seems to cost too much. You can only need one employee. Two people can't take care of fifty cows. This is too extravagant, and it will increase your burden."

Zhang Hao didn't care about this, he said with a smile, "Not much at all, because my ranch is still in the development stage and there are a lot of things to deal with. And if I want to take care of those cows, I need someone to feed them well. Mistake. It seems to increase the cost, but it's just a labor cost, and I can make up for it elsewhere."

Leonard said again, "Have you considered expanding the scale of farming? Since your cattle don't completely depend on pasture, you can raise more cattle. It doesn't matter if you buy some pasture, because you still have Lots of profit margins."

Zhang Hao naturally knew what Leonard meant. Buying some high-quality pasture seems to be a burden, but Zhang Hao's cattle are valuable, and the cost of that little pasture is nothing, and there is no need to hurt the pasture that is still in the growth stage.

But Zhang Hao also has his own troubles, and there is nothing he can do, "I want to breed cattle, and slaughtering is not my main pursuit now, so I really have no other way****** Nader revealed a small calculation , "We can cooperate, you can buy grass from me, and I will give you a preferential price.And I have a lot of excellent breeding cattle here. I can provide breeding cattle to help you expand the size of your herd in a shorter time. When your pasture matures, you will need more cattle! "

Zhang Hao's heart was moved, completely moved.

Of course he wants to expand his breeding scale, and he knows that he needs to reserve more breeding cattle; but Zhang Hao’s requirements have always been quite high, he does not want to introduce some cattle of average quality, and he believes that he will continue to improve some cattle. kind.

It's just that Leonard's suggestion is really great, because Leonard's ranch has a lot of cattle, the quality is good, and the quantity is also considerable.Under such circumstances, Zhang Hao would naturally be able to travel a little less and have more choices.

I originally planned to come and see the horses, but now it suddenly turned into discussing some cooperation on the ranch; although it is a bit off topic, it doesn't matter, because this matter is more beneficial to Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao knows very well that the ranch is the foundation of his life, and what he wants is to develop his ranch into a top-notch ranch; so every time there is an opportunity to improve the ranch, he must not miss it.

So, be serious!
