"The biggest? Isn't the biggest here my place? And whether my cattle can be sold has to do with the quality of my cattle and their wool!" Hearing the words of Burke-Dahle who was walking next to him, Jiang Hai said with an unhappy look.
"Indeed, if we talk about the place, this is the largest private estate here. But if you want to sell cattle, you have to ask our Carlite Company if we agree." After hearing Jiang Hai's words, the thirty-year-old man wearing glasses over there The many-year-old man came over with a sneer, and said to Jiang Hai in front of him with an arrogant expression. Seeing his appearance, Jiang Hai raised his eyebrows and walked up to meet him.
"Boss, this is what happened..." Seeing that Jiang Hai seemed to be going into conflict with the other party, Robbins immediately came to Jiang Hai's side and spoke quickly in his ear.
Speaking of the area of the manor, Jiang Hai's manor is the largest in the entire state of Massachusetts, and even on the entire east coast of the United States. However, this Carlite Company is not a place where cattle are raised. To be precise, Jiang Hai's manor is the largest. , he is a place that sells cattle.
It is an animal husbandry company registered by the American Empire, headquartered in New York, and is considered a relatively influential animal husbandry company by the American Emperor. However, they do not raise cattle. They only collect and sell cattle. They are also commonly known as second-hand dealers.
There are three main ways to sell cattle in the United States. One is to sell it normally. Every year, the meat quality testing agency will conduct random inspections on the declared ranch twice. After passing the test, it can be sold on the market. But in this way The beef sold is basically whole cows, which cannot be sold at a high price. The cost of raising a cow is about 1,500 U.S. dollars, and the price of a cow is about 1,000 U.S. dollars. And this adult cow is Calculated by the pound, a cow can be sold for between US$3,000 and US$4,000, which is not a big profit.
There is also a second option, which is to go out and run the business yourself. The manor owner has his own shipping channel. After testing, he can sell it directly to some large shopping malls or Western restaurants, which is naturally the most profitable.
But neither Robbins nor Burke-Dahler has such ability. When it comes to raising cattle, they are very good, but when it comes to selling, they are far behind.
So they chose the third way, to participate in some beef cattle competitions and exhibitions. During the competition or exhibition, if a businessman takes a fancy, they will naturally come to inspect and then buy the cattle.
However, such large-scale exhibitions are actually games for the rich. Those cattle are basically cattle owned by major companies, not small-scale farmers and ranchers. In other words, these cattle are also small-scale cattle. They are raised on pastures, but if you want to sell them at a higher price and go to exhibitions and the like, they need to be affiliated with a big company.
For a small ranch, not to mention whether it can enter the exhibition or competition, the amount of money required to participate in the exhibition and competition is a large expense, so most cowboys and ranchers will Choose this path.
As for the current cow, according to the other party, they wanted to know the quality of the cow here. In fact, it was just given to them for free. After hearing what Robbins said, Jiang Hai's face became even more ugly.
This is somewhat similar to the domestic mechanism. Everyone breeds free-range products and then sells them in a centralized manner. However, the people who concentrated sales in the United States have become this company. In fact, they are second-tier dealers, just the biggest second-tier dealers.
Yes, if it succeeds, the price of the cattle will indeed be higher, but Jiang Hai's ranch will become the other party's beef cattle base, and the shipping channel will be completely controlled by the other party.
This can't be blamed on Robbins and others, because their original layout is only so big, and they have not considered the idea of participating in the exhibition themselves. First, it seems to them that it is very expensive. Second, they do not Think there is something different about your cattle.
Anyway, the prices are almost the same, so it’s better to just list them under the names of these companies. It’s easier this way. Although one cow was sacrificed, compared to the nearly 20,000 cows left, one cow is really not a big deal. .
But Jiang Hai would not be the first to agree to such an idea. The shipping channels are another matter. The most important thing is that the cattle raised by Jiang Hai are different from ordinary cattle. He is now almost ready to destroy all the cattle in the manor. After the pasture improvement is completed, as long as this winter is over and the cattle are slaughtered next summer or autumn, the quality of these cattle will be the highest.
He is quite confident in his cattle. At this time, if he doesn't make money himself, why should he let others make it? How could he agree! So after hearing what Robbins said, he left Robbins behind and came to these people.
"Release the cow, or I will call the police." Looking at the workers in front of him, Jiang Hai pointed with his right hand and said with a look of displeasure. Hearing Jiang Hai's words, the workers here became even more confused. Well, as for Robbins and others, although they were a little puzzled by Jiang Hai's actions, after all, they were working under Jiang Hai now, so without saying a word, they stood behind Jiang Hai, with such momentum , don't be angry and self-defeating, making the people on the opposite side even more at a loss what to do.
"Hey, think about it. At least you are affiliated with our company..." Seeing the actions of Jiang Hai and others, the man over there couldn't help but walked up to Jiang Hai and said with a joking expression. It seemed to him that Jiang Hai was just a dazed young man who was reluctant to let go when his cattle were about to be taken away. He did not believe that a manor owner could fight against their company.
"Go away, our own cows have no need to rely on you no matter what. What kind of toys are you! What a bullshit exhibition. I won't go to it myself. I can use you!" But this Before the man finished speaking, Jiang Hai waved his hand impatiently, interrupted him, and then said with an unhappy expression.
"You, you have to know that it costs money to participate in an exhibition. A booth costs millions of dollars!" After hearing Jiang Hai's words, the people here couldn't help but said loudly, millions of dollars is indeed a lot of money. Quite a bit, and Jiang Hai is also relatively short of money now, but at this time, he can't lose face if he loses anything, right
"I just bought this manor for 280 million U.S. dollars. Do you think 1 or 2 million U.S. dollars is nothing?" Jiang Hai looked at the man in front of him jokingly. Jiang Hai's words were full of provocation. After hearing Jiang Hai's words, the people here couldn't help but say the rest. Indeed, he also knew the size and situation of this manor. Such a large manor, including pastures, wineries and fisheries, cost 280 million. , although it is not expensive, it is definitely not cheap either.
In other words, Jiang Hai is now a billionaire with a net worth of over 100 million. He is a small employee. Talking about money in front of others is indeed a bit exaggerated. It seems that this guy is not imaginary. It's so easy to fool.
"Okay, you have money, but don't forget. You can go to the exhibition by yourself, but if you can't sell it then you can't blame others. Let's go!" When it comes to money, Jiang Hai can't be beat. He knew this very well. After all, their company's market value was only over a billion dollars. If the company and Jiang Hai fought head-on, Jiang Hai would not be able to compete with the company, but why should the company go with him because of a little kid like him? What if Jiang Hai fights head-on? If the company knew that it was enmity with a billionaire, the possibility of firing the company would be much higher than the possibility of regaining face.
So now he can only say harsh words, and then turn around and leave. However, his harsh words are not just for listening. He does have some methods. If Jiang Hai wants to participate in the exhibition, he will really have it. It may be more troublesome.
Because the main area this company is responsible for is the northeastern corner of the United States, reaching as far north as Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, and even New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, and even Washington, D.C. , more than 80% of the businesses in these states are linked to their company.
If the quality of the meat is not as good as meat, these merchants may not give Green Forest a chance to sell the company to save face. There is nothing bad for them. Although people in the United States only care about profits, they do not care about favors. It also has some effects. Of course, if the meat quality of Green Forest is not as good as normal meat quality, then there is no need to compare.
However, Jiang Hai is quite confident in his own beef. These guys are just waiting to be slapped in the face.
If the quality of your own meat is much better than that of this company, those merchants are not fools, so there is no need to say who to choose.
"Boss!" Seeing these people leaving, Harriman over there took the first step and pulled the cow back to the bullpen. It could be seen that he was also very distressed just now. As for Robbins, he felt three points guilty and seven points. He walked to Jiang Hai anxiously and wanted to say something.
"Needless to say, you have to have some confidence in the cattle you raise. Even if you don't have confidence in the cattle, you still have to have confidence in me as the boss. Do you understand? Our cattle must be the best!" Waved his hand and interrupted. After hearing what Robbins said, Jiang Hai said categorically. Hearing Jiang Hai's words, Robbins couldn't help but smiled awkwardly. He really wanted to ask where Jiang Hai's confidence came from, but he said this. But he couldn't say it. After all, Jiang Hai was the boss and he was confident, so they had to be confident as well.
"When is the exhibition they are talking about?" No longer caring about Robbins' guilt, Jiang Hai turned his head and said to Burke-Dahle, letting Jiang Hai's cattle be sold at the price of adult cattle. He would definitely be reluctant to sell it.
And the biggest difference between him and ordinary billionaires is that he doesn't have many connections. To be precise, he is a nouveau riche with no social circle in the upper class. After he has money, he also He has already invested in industry, and he doesn't have the leisure and leisure time. Going to New York to make friends with those people and scheming all day long is not something he is willing to do.
So the second way doesn't work, so he can only follow these people and take the third way to the exhibition.
