Rebirth of the Super Landlord

In the next few days, the entire ranch was very busy. In addition to the hundreds of dead cows, many cows on the ranch were lost. Fortunately, each cow had the brand of the ranch, so they were quickly picked up by the surrounding cows.

The pastures of Su Zhen were sent back, and some extra cattle were also sent back to Su Zhen’s pastures.

All losses were also tallied up and passed to the insurance company. Once the insurance company completes its investigation, the compensation will be paid to the ranch company's account.

But the most troublesome thing was the fence around the ranch. Because the tornado passed right by the edge of the ranch, several kilometers of fence were destroyed. It took the cowboys a lot of time to repair this fence.

In order to reward the cowboys for their hard work, Su Zhen generously added a bonus to the cowboys' salary this week.

At noon that day, Su Zhen was feeding two eagles in the living room. In the past few days, apart from asking about the pasture, Su Zhen had focused all his thoughts on the two eagles. What he fed them was extremely fresh.

Beef liver soaked in space water.

Perhaps due to sufficient food or the effect of space water, the two little eagles could walk on the ground, and the down gradually faded away, and a little gray-brown hair grew, which made Su Zhen very happy. This is

A symbol of the transformation of a fledgling into a young bird.

At this time, there was a knock on the door. Su Zhen opened the door and saw that it was Old John.

"Hi, John, what's the matter?" Su Zhen asked, taking John into the house.

"Yes, BOSS. I have something to discuss with you," Old John said. At this time, the servant brought two cups of coffee. Old John took a sip of coffee and continued, "Remember Old Jack on the west side of the ranch?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Su Zhen was very confused. Although he and Old Jack's ranch were adjacent to each other, they didn't have much contact with each other. They only met at a few cocktail parties. Moreover, the other party was very old and could not talk to him.

It's normal to come.

"During this storm, Old Jack's Bobcat Ranch suffered serious losses. The insurance company that insured them went bankrupt again. Old Jack was so angry that he was admitted to the hospital. His sons all live in the city.

I have no intention of running a ranch, so I am planning to sell my ranch." Old John explained looking at the confused Su Zhen.

"What do you mean? Buy it?" Su Zhen asked. Seeing Old John nod, Su Zhen thought for a moment and said, "Isn't Old Jack's ranch bigger than ours? It seems to be more than 40,000 acres, and there are tens of thousands more."

It’s not cheap to buy all the cows.”

"Indeed, but this opportunity is rare. This farm is large enough, has several water sources, and is completely adjacent to our pasture. It would be impossible to get it without 60 million in normal times. But now the other party is eager to sell it, and it is estimated that it will only cost 5,000.

You can buy it for about 10,000 yuan, which is very cost-effective." Old John introduced.

Su Zhen frowned. It was indeed a good deal, but he didn't have that much money now. Although Twilight and Heiye

He brought himself more than 100 million, but he also opened an investment company and cooperated with Paramount and Lions Gate to make movies. In addition, he just acquired a winery. Although he later relied on the strength of Twilight and Night, he also made a fortune for

Su Zhen made some money and the ranch also started to make money, but the funds in his account were only 20 million at full cost. It was a fantasy to buy a ranch worth more than 50 million, and he still owed the bank 20 million.

The loan has not been repaid yet.

"But I don't have that much cash at all now, and buying a ranch and recruiting people is also a problem," Su Zhen said helplessly.

Old John shook his head when he heard this, "Don't worry about the manpower. Old Jack has a lot of experienced cowboys who will be available when the time comes. Moreover, their wages are lower than ours. I believe they will be happy to work for you, BOSS.

So BOSS, all you have to do is find a way to raise enough funds. I don’t know much about this aspect, so why don’t you call Erica over and ask?”

Su Zhen thought the same thing and called Erica, a professional, over to ask.

Erica came over soon. After Su Zhen explained the situation, Erica thought about it and said, "This problem is actually very simple. Just negotiate with the other party to settle the payment in installments. After signing the contract, use the contract

Just continue to borrow money from the bank to pay the balance."

"Is this okay?" Su Zhen was very surprised. The matter that caused him a headache was actually okay in front of Erica with just a few words?

"Of course you can. In fact, many real estate developers use this model to expand. However, although this expansion model is fast, it has great risks. You must ensure that the real estate purchased can be profitable, otherwise if the investment fails

, there will be a disconnection of funds, eventually leading to bankruptcy," Erica explained.

Hearing this, Su Zhen understood clearly that high profits naturally come with high risks. However, Su Zhen was not worried at all about whether the ranch could make money. He had space at hand. Not to mention the meat quality of the cattle he raised, the cost of the ranch was completely saved.

Lost.

After having an idea, Su Zhen began to work on the acquisition. If the acquisition is successful, Su Zhen will become the largest rancher in northern Illinois and the third largest rancher in Illinois.

The next day, Su Zhen, together with Old John and Erica, went to Old Jack's ranch to inspect. During the inspection, Su Zhen was careful and found that a small area in the northeast of Old Jack's ranch had been affected by his own pasture. The grass condition was obviously

Much better than other places, but the people at Old Jack's ranch didn't seem to notice it. Old John also discovered this, but didn't make it public. In his opinion, it was his boss's luck that Old Jack was so good.

grass without knowing it, who is to blame.

Because Jack Sr. was lying in the hospital, it was his eldest son Huck and his lawyer who came to negotiate. Huck seemed to be very eager to seal the contract, and in the end the experienced John Sr. lowered the price to 52 million.

Purchase the entire ranch and the remaining more than 20,000 cattle and several thousand sheep on it, and finalize a down payment of 15 million, with the remaining balance paid off within one year.

In this way, this land of more than 45,000 acres belonged to Su Zhen, and Su Zhen's 23,000-acre medium-sized ranch was expanded into a super-large ranch of nearly 70,000 acres at one time. Almost all of the land north of Harvard Town

All part of the land is under Su Zhen's name.

This time, it was impossible to buy a helicopter for such a large ranch. Su Zhen also considered whether to use a helicopter for grazing, which would save a lot of manpower. However, Old John dissuaded him. Although using a helicopter for grazing is convenient, it is not practical.

The meat quality of cattle has a great impact, because even a small helicopter will make a certain amount of noise, which will make the cattle feel uneasy, and the use of helicopters for grazing will make the cattle move too fast, which will affect

to the meat quality of the beef.

After hearing this, Su Zhen gave up decisively and chose to still use cowboys to herd cattle.

Once the two ranches merged, the number of cowboys jumped from a dozen to nearly forty. It turned out that the cowboys at Bobcat Ranch were a little uneasy when the ranch was first put up for sale, fearing that they would lose their jobs. Finally, they learned that

The ranch was acquired by the Garden Ranch next door, and the original cowboys were relieved and happy when they were hired. After all, the salary at Garden Ranch was relatively high in Harvard.

The merged pasture was too large, and it was obviously unrealistic to rely solely on Old Thomas to manage it, so the two veterans, John Jr. and Jason, were brought up to stop direct grazing work and work with Old John to manage the pasture.

Of course, Su Zhen did not forget the other two veterans, Grace and Bella. Grace and two cowboys were in charge of the cattle, while Bella was in charge of the moose.

Speaking of moose, this thing has brought a lot of profits to Su Zhen. Except for his own wives and concubines, the deer king Binbo didn't care about other deer at all, so Su Zhen's ranch began to sell moose meat. This is a rare thing.

Although moose have been excluded from protected animals due to their stable numbers in recent years, hunting is only allowed for one month each year, and the requirements for hunting are very high, so Su Zhen Ranch’s moose meat has been very popular since its launch.

It is popular with high-end restaurants all over the United States, and due to the quantity, the price is several times that of beef, so demand still exceeds supply.

Now after more than half a year of reproduction, the number of deer has increased from more than 100 to more than 200. Because only the adult male deer driven out by Bimbo are selected for each slaughter, so selling a small amount will not

affect reproduction.

Su Zhen also rides Bimbo occasionally. This guy is much bigger than a horse, and he has a very wild temper. Except for Su Zhen, he doesn't scorn anyone else at all. In fact, Bella's job is the easiest, and Bimbo can do it himself.

Taking the deer to graze did not require Bella to herd them at all, so Bella only had to bring a sheepdog to watch them.
