Rural life in America

Chapter 240 Great salary increase conditions

Zhang Hao's parents made some complaints, but they didn't say much; the children's affairs should be left to the children to solve, and they can't control too much.

Furthermore, it is because I know that this is the United States, and I know that the customs are somewhat different; there are many people who are unmarried and pregnant first, and there is no need to rush to hold a wedding. Anyway, without a marriage certificate, there is no need to worry about registering the child. , marrying with the ball is not very popular and naturally it is a perfectly normal thing.

It can only be said that Christina is a bit of a 'perfectionist', at least she really is a bit of a 'perfectionist' when it comes to her wedding.

Zhang Hao didn't pay much attention to these matters. He had a good discussion with Christina. The two exchanged opinions and reached a consensus on some important matters. After a while.

Xixi wanted to go to the ranch with her father, but was rejected; the little girl pouted aggrievedly, but it didn't make Zhang Hao change his mind. He couldn't really follow Xixi in everything, definitely not.

This time, I have to do business, so I can't bring Xixi, the 'little oil bottle' with me.

Greg is somewhat looking forward to it, and a little bit excited, because he has seen the development of the ranch in the past one and a half years, almost watching the development of the ranch from a poor state to a vibrant and full of potential; he knows the credit for this The biggest must be the boss, but he also paid a lot.

Since he has paid a lot, there must be some rewards. After all, Greg is working here and working on the ranch!

Zhang Hao is very aware of this, so he is not stingy; although Greg, an old cowboy, does not have much physical strength, he has enough experience and is the best manager for Zhang Hao.

"It seems that these little guys are in good condition, have they all been registered?"

Greg pointed to the cows in the pen to show the fruits of his labor, "Of course, they all have their own tags, such as the ones hanging on their ears. I can guarantee that the bloodline and grade of each cow are clearly registered, according to the According to your request, we are always experimenting and improving, and we are always selecting the few bulls with the most potential."

Zhang Hao nodded in satisfaction, this is very good, "That's good, although the cattle on our ranch are of good quality, everyone wants to do better. Our current job is good, but we can continue improve."

Greg also thinks so, and he echoed, "Next year, the ranch's slaughter volume will increase a lot. We have a stable breeding base, and we now have some stable breeding cattle. Boss, the chance to make big money is here!"

Money is very important.

At first glance, the output of the ranch is relatively small, because the breeding scale of the ranch is relatively limited; so even if a cow can make a profit of nearly [-] US dollars, the breeding scale is relatively small, so it cannot be said that it will make Zhang Hao profitable all at once. The pours are full.

It's still "boutique" that makes money. The cattle on most pastures may even be sold in cents, and the ones with slightly better quality can only cost a few dollars.But Zhang Hao's ranch is different. Anyway, the slaughter price is double digits per pound, and the price is quite considerable. In addition, the cost of raising these cattle is relatively average, so Zhang Hao naturally earns more.

"My old man, I'll give you two options now. We've had a great time working together, you're a great cowboy, and I hope you'll keep working here, especially as we're expanding our ranch soon, and I I don't want to lose you."

Hearing Zhang Hao's words, Greg smiled very happily; he knew that he still had some experience and ability, but after all, there was no age, and cowboys were also young.It is not easy to find a stable job at his current age, especially if he can get a relatively generous salary.

"Boss, I also want to work on the ranch forever. I love it here, and I know it will be a pleasure to work for you."

He accepted Greg's flattery, but Zhang Hao knew that he couldn't just talk about feelings; now that he was talking about work, he still had to rely on real money, which was more realistic.

He had thought about this for a long time, so Zhang Hao said to Greg, "I can provide you with an annual salary of [-] US dollars, which is not a low price."

Greg smiled, his old face almost turned into a chrysanthemum, "Of course, this price is really great! Boss, I don't need to hear the second option. I choose an annual salary of [-], but our contract is more Long time, the longer the better! I'm young now and I can work for many more years!"

No wonder Greg was excited. The annual salary of [-] US dollars has firmly belonged to the middle class in the United States. Greg didn’t talk about the middle class before, and it’s not bad to barely reach the blue-collar class.

Zhang Hao smiled. He likes Greg as an old cowboy very much, but he will not squander it because of this. It is not so easy for him to make money himself, so there is no need to become a philanthropist.

"If you choose an annual salary of 5.00, I can sign a five-year contract with you, and there will be a [-]% salary increase every year, including some dividends and bonuses. In addition, I can pay you some pensions. After you retire Have some income."

Just after Zhang Hao finished speaking, Greg became anxious, "Boss, where is the contract? Let's sign it right away! I just want this kind of contract, and we must sign it quickly. Tina is a lawyer, we will go to her immediately, don't you guys?" would lie to me."

Seeing Greg's anxious look, Zhang Hao also laughed.

Americans will also get old, and they will also think about things after retirement; especially for people like Greg who used to work odd jobs and have no stable income, the older they get, the more pressure they will have, so for Zhang Hao’s Greg was very excited and satisfied with the conditions. He felt that as long as he worked for another five years, he didn't need to worry even if he retired.

Zhang Hao felt that he still needed to talk to Greg again. He didn't just offer such a condition, "There is a second option, and that is to share."

Greg froze for a moment, he seemed to think of something.

Zhang Hao didn't give too much away, he explained, "The ranch has great potential, and the current output is relatively stable, and it will continue to expand. Therefore, the condition I give is that I will give you [-]% of the profit every year. Third, remember that it is profit, which is the profit obtained after setting aside the cost of breeding and the operating cost of the ranch. I think this option is better. You know that we can earn [-] US dollars per cow, so you can take one cow Three hundred dollars."

Greg is really impressed. Although he has no specific information or data, he has been working on the ranch and knows that these high-quality cattle raised on Longbow Ranch do not have too high a breeding cost, which means that the profit is very high.

Profit sharing is nice, except that Greg also knows what's going on at the ranch.

"Boss, I admit that this will make me very excited. I know you have made a lot of money. But boss, our ranch now sells less than [-] cows a year, so it's not worth it. Of course I know that the future development of the ranch will be better , the output will be higher and higher, but I want a stable pension. And I guess, if I choose to share, then I will not get a pension.”

Zhang Hao is not embarrassed, he is already quite generous, and he is worthy of his first employee.

"Yes, if you choose to share, I will not give you a pension. The ranch does make money, but you know that I am a capitalist. Every boss wants to increase profits and exploit employees, and so do I."

Greg really needs to think about it carefully, it's about his interests, and he has to make a choice.

Choosing the annual salary will be very stable, and you don’t need to worry too much about retirement; and choosing the share is actually a great choice, because the potential of the ranch is so great, he believes that even just the profit share is a huge amount, Even in the next few years, it may be far beyond the level of annual salary.

Greg was still hesitating, wavering, "What about Stan, will his salary increase?"

Zhang Hao is not too cloudy, and of course it is in line with the habits of some Americans who don’t say everything carefully. Even if Stan is Greg’s son, “His salary will rise a bit, but it will definitely not be the same as your conditions. You can do it yourself.” Go ask him if he will tell you."

Greg said that there is no rush now, and he needs to think carefully. Once the contract is signed, it basically means that a decision has been made, and it is basically difficult to change.

It really made Greg a little dumbfounded, because he never thought that he was facing two extremely lucrative contracts. What he didn't expect was that he had now become a 'high-income group'.

The troubles of happiness, that's what it was for Greg.

Back in the staff dormitory, he went directly to the house where Stan's family lived; although Nancy, who had a bad temper, was a good daughter-in-law, she took good care of Stan, educated Jane and Kendrick, and did not suffer from poor economic conditions these years. It would be nice to just leave the family, because Greg has seen too many families fall apart for financial reasons.

He greeted his grandson and granddaughter, and looked at Jane's homework pretending to be very concerned. Although he didn't understand anything, he had to care, even if he couldn't understand.

"Where's Stan, is he back?"

Nancy brought Greg a beer and said, "He's off to get some food, and he'll be back soon."

Greg, who was drinking beer, spoke because he was not like most American families. Lao Tzu and his son basically did not discuss income, etc., and because Stan had been living with him in the past few years.

"Did Stan tell you about the contract? The boss had some communication with me today."

Nancy smiled, smiling happily, "Yes, he told me. The terms are great, I can't believe he will get such a contract. But he has not made a decision, he wants to discuss it with you, The conditions were so good that we didn't dare make a decision."
