"Selling gems brought in a total of 332.15 million... Buying a manor brought in 280 million, leaving 52.125 million..." Looking at the records in the notebook, Jiang Hai I couldn't help but rub my temples. It seemed like I didn't have enough money.
Although after knowing it, the income of the manor will definitely be more than what is on the books, but now it seems that it is a bit overspending.
Jiang Hai spent more than 52 million yuan to buy the manor, more than 20 million yuan to buy cattle, various things, decorations, cars, horses, etc., plus buying a boat today, the total cost is almost the same. I paid nearly 6 million. I gave the lawyer 2 million last night, which is 7 million. Plus the money to buy the cattle, it’s less than 30 million.
There is about 20 million left, and the expenses of these seven people are more than 5,000 US dollars per week, 250,000 US dollars a year, nearly 260,000 US dollars.
He has to provide the money for food, and in the United States, there is no intention of fooling the workers. Besides, they are still cowboys, so they have to provide them with meat every day. Calculated based on the food cost of twenty dollars per person per day, Including himself, that's one hundred and eighty US dollars a day, not to mention some snacks and the like. Two hundred US dollars a day, that's seventy-three thousand US dollars a year. Plus occasionally he will treat guests generously. , which costs 100,000 US dollars, which means that for labor alone, he needs to pay nearly 400,000 US dollars a year, plus the cost of gasoline for the car and diesel for the boat. The ones he bought are all high-power ones. Guys, a conservative estimate would cost at least over ten thousand US dollars a month, and hundreds of thousands a year, to buy feed for cattle and horses, etc...
Jiang Hai estimated that just for the food these people eat and the horses chewing, as well as the money to pay these workers, it would cost millions of dollars a year.
In addition to the taxes he has to pay, although he has not yet made a profit, the land use tax does not matter whether you are profitable or not. This year, the price is nearly four million US dollars, as well as social security and medical insurance. , Social Security in the United States is looked down upon by Jiang Hai, but these two are not allowed to be paid separately. Medical insurance is an extremely important insurance in the United States.
Because to cure a cold here, if you don’t have medical insurance, it will cost you thousands of dollars. If you break a tooth, congratulations. If you don’t have tens of thousands of dollars, you can’t repair it. So in this case, Jiang Hai Also very helpless.
After such a calculation, the more than 20 million he has on him can still be used. It is less than 14 million, which seems to be a lot, but obviously, compared to 330 million, 14 million is sincere. Not a lot.
And the most important thing is that because of the improvement of pasture, Jiang Hai has considerable confidence in his cattle.
If he wants to make a lot of money, fish farming will probably be put on the agenda, but fish fry are very expensive...
According to Edward, there are several types of fish farming or seafood farming. One is the most common captive breeding. The fish raised in this way are destined not to be sold at a high price, but the breeding cost is very low. It only requires Just buy some nets, trap these fish together, and feed them regularly. However, because such fish do not move, it is difficult to sell them for money if their fat content exceeds the standard.
The second type is free-range farming, which is to circle some nets at the boundaries of your own fishing ground, and then establish an independent small world in the world of this net, and establish a special ecological circle here to feed the feeding fish.
But this kind of feeding also has some troubles, that is, it will have a lot of impact on the ecological balance of the seabed.
The third type is completely free-range farming. It is also surrounded by some nets on the periphery of the fishing ground to prevent the fish from escaping, and then a small food chain is established on the seabed. Fish farming naturally requires raising big fish. Take cod as an example. , this kind of fish eats shrimps when they are young, so they need to raise a lot of shrimps in the sea. When they grow up, they eat squid and octopus, so they need to raise these things.
A food chain is formed underwater, and farmed fish are the top fish in the food chain.
In this case, the quality of the fish is the best, but there is a problem... raising fish in this way is too expensive.
Take the smallest shrimp as an example. Currently, the shrimp with the best quality and highest energy in the world is the Antarctic shrimp. However, this shrimp should be in Antarctica. The money to transport it is more expensive than the shrimp itself, so the gain outweighs the loss, but it makes up for it. If so, arctic shrimp is also good.
This kind of shrimp with a very sweet taste is also very nutritious, but it grows relatively large, so the shrimp fry are mainly fed. After a batch of shrimps grow up, new shrimp fry need to be fed to the fish, so The price of shrimp fry is eighty cents per kilogram, and a boat of ten tons of shrimp fry can supply 20,000 cod fry for half a month. Jiang Hai's fish farming is not like raising cattle. There are 20,000 fish and nothing can be seen.
The coastline of Jiang Hai Manor is extremely long. There are 300,000 fish fry here, and you can't even see a splash of water.
In this case, these fry will need to eat 300 tons of shrimp every month. One ton costs 800 US dollars. Three hundred tons is 240,000. This is only for one month. The same goes for squid and octopus. To buy, these things are more expensive.
Cod is different from other fish. It takes time to grow. Unlike ordinary freshwater fish, which can be caught in a few months, this fish becomes more delicious the longer it is left. It can grow up to more than ten years and is one or two meters long. .
So basically, they will raise it for about one or two years before starting to fish it. However, the cost of feed for this cod for a month is about 30,000 to 40,000 US dollars. In other words, the cost of feed alone for catching cod once A small amount of 10 million, not to mention the seaweed money.
This is not even the money for the fry. Thinking of this, Jiang Hai couldn't help but smile and shook his head. It seems that now, the more than 20 million left in his hand is not enough to do anything.
"I need to find a way to make some money to spend." Jiang Hai muttered in a low voice after clicking his teeth.
"Woof woof..." Maybe they heard Jiang Hai's words. Xiao Bai and Xiao Huang, who were lying in his room at this time, couldn't help but jump up and lie down beside Jiang Hai's bed. They looked at Jiang Hai with a strange expression. I thought Jiang Hai was talking to them.
"What are you causing trouble? Get down." Jiang Hai patted the heads of the two big dogs with his feet and said angrily. After hearing Jiang Hai's words, the two big dogs looked at each other, lay down again, and continued to watch. TV playing in front of you.
Jiang Hai fell into deep thought. In fact, there are still many ways for Jiang Hai to make money.
Not to mention those who perpetrate the law and violate discipline. He has a big business now, so there is no need to mess around.
He could think of many legal transactions alone, all related to the sea.
Don’t forget, Jiang Hai can move freely in the water now, and is not affected by water pressure, so he can fully explore the deep sea, whether it is looking for oil fields or natural gas, he will make a fortune. Good means.
It's just that this method can easily attract the country's attention, and the gain outweighs the loss.
There are also things that do not attract the attention of the country, such as salvaging some sunken ships. The cultural relics inside are probably worth a lot of money.
Gold in troubled times and antiques in prosperous times. Although there are still sporadic wars in the world, the main areas, including North America, Europe, and East Asia, are very stable, and these are the places where the money comes from. Main place.
If he went to get some antiques from the sunken ship, or cooperated with others to salvage the ship, he would make a lot of money. A valuable sunken ship must be worth at least one billion or eighty million.
He shouldn't have to spend 100 million too much. If he builds five or six ships a year, that's 500-600 million US dollars, and he won't have to pay taxes. It's so comfortable. But there is a problem. Now Jiang Hai's Power is only the limit of human beings.
If he encounters a shark, a giant squid, or a whale in the sea, he won't be able to defeat it.
Even though Jiang Hai is usually very courageous when fighting, he just goes to work, but in the sea, he really has no confidence.
There is nothing else about him than that he cherishes his life. Last time in his fishing ground, he saw a shark from a distance, and he swam back immediately, let alone going to salvage a ship in the deep sea. Thinking about him, Somewhat frightened.
"This idea should be postponed until at least the third level is reached." Jiang Hai drew a three on the notebook and then made a big circle. He would not risk his own life.
He is unwilling to go to exploit natural resources such as oil and natural gas because it will easily become a wedding dress for other countries.
He didn't dare to salvage sunken ships or antiquities because he was afraid of being eaten alive by aquatic animals.
Under the policy of being afraid of wolves in front and tigers in the back, Jiang Hai couldn't help scratching his head with a pen. It seemed that there was really no way to make money. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh and leaned directly on his bedside.
"I don't think about open source anymore. It seems I can only think of ways to cut costs. In addition to eating, other things should be simpler in the future. Those imaginary yachts, airplanes, and ocean horses say goodbye to you for the time being." After muttering to himself, Jiang Hai laughed self-deprecatingly. It is said that men become bad when they have money. In fact, this is also relative and mainly related to the environment.
If Jiang Hai gets rich and lives in the city, he will inevitably come into contact with some upper-class people, sensual and voluptuous people. In the area of these guys, there are all kinds of famous brands, beauties, sports cars, airplanes, and yachts. .
But now, he doesn't know such friends, nor do he know those messy places.
So he just thought about it. A long time ago, an ancient man once said that it is impossible for an otaku to commit a crime and it is difficult to become bad. It cannot be a crime because they are waiting to read the weekly new episodes and updated novels. It is impossible for them to become bad. It is also because there is no such soil for becoming bad. It is not a problem to stay at home all day long and want to become bad. Easy things.
"Oh, I'm really giving up on myself. How can there be such a useless rich person like me!" He sighed helplessly and accepted his fate!
