Chapter 32 Happiness is supported by strength, and others will lose it as soon as they learn it

Lanai is not an isolated desert island.

Since Su Rui bought this place, it has become more and more connected with the outside world.

Different from the small-scale peasant economy that people imagine, facing the loess all day long, anyone who can be called a big rancher or rancher in the United States should not be underestimated.

For example, John Malone, the godfather of the American cable TV industry, holds more than 220 million acres of land, which is equivalent to the size of 24 Lanai islands, and the industry is involved in many fields.

There is also Ted Turner, who ranks second in private land area.

The founder of CNN, the largest cable news network in the United States, served as the vice chairman of AOL-Time Warner Group in the past few years, and his personal assets are as high as billions of dollars.

People are less familiar with these low-key super rich.

But when Suri bought Lanai, he talked to Microsoft Corp.'s Bill Gates and Los Angeles real estate mogul Stan Keren, owner of the Denver Nuggets basketball team, the St. Louis Rams football team and the Colorado Avalanche hockey team. Mr. Ke, we bid against each other.

Needless to say, Bill Gates has been the richest man in the world for many years.

When it comes to this "Silent Stan", one has to mention his wife, Ann Walton, who is a member of the Walton family.

As the niece of Sam Walton Sr., the founder of Wal-Mart Supermarket.

Ann Walton's father, James Walton, who assisted his brother Sam in co-founding Wal-Mart, also holds a staggering number of shares.

Because both husband and wife are very rich, the total assets of the family even exceed tens of billions of dollars. Stan Kroenke really belongs to the example of getting rich and beautiful at the beginning and counterattacking to the pinnacle of life.

The reason why Suri considered these.

The reason is that I was irritated by the phrase "hillies" mentioned by the employees.

Back and forth, more than 4 million U.S. dollars have been poured in, not just to live on a poor island.

If even the employees would be looked down upon when they went out, Su Rui, the rancher, would certainly lose face.

Facing several young guys at this moment, he stated again:

"Don't worry, I am confident that I will make Lanai Island a vacation paradise. At that time, girls from other places will be proud to marry our guy from Lanai Island. Since being admitted, it means that there are no idiots among you. It's just that there is only one job opportunity missing, and now the opportunity has come, and you have me as your backer."

An aboriginal guy asked, "Are you kidding me?"

"Of course, I even gave up the opportunity to invest in Apple and Google, not for charity, to accompany you to live the hard life of being looked down upon by others."

Su Rui paused for a moment, and added:

"Theoretically speaking, as long as 1% of Hawaiian tourists choose to live on our Lanai Island, the value of this land will skyrocket to 40 billion US dollars. The size of the town will also expand, and your houses and land will , will appreciate in value accordingly, and become no less expensive than Oahu, so work hard, not only for me, but also for yourselves..."

An excellent rancher must learn how to draw cakes.

There is not much time left for the most critical Christmas and New Year tourist season every year, and there is still a lot of preparatory work to be done, so it is necessary to increase their enthusiasm.

The so-called imparting experience or something.

Although Su Rui has a rich love history in this life, it is basically because he is too good, and the girls turn around and chase him.

He lives in Beverly Hills and is a famous pop singer. When he was less than 20 years old, he already had tens of millions of dollars in his personal account.

Occasionally, after attending a party, Su Rui would have more than a dozen pieces of paper in his pocket, each with a girl's number written on it, and in the end it was impossible to tell who was who.

His happiness is supported by his strength, and others will lose it as soon as he learns it...

There is business to do.

When I saw old Andy, this experienced old cowboy was recording something with a small notebook in his hand.

Turning his head to find Suri coming, old Andy couldn't wait to ask him:
"How do you think about it? My friend is still waiting for my reply. These calves belong to the first-time breeding of black-haired Wagyu cattle. They are no different from Japanese Wagyu cattle. I called to find out the market price, and the price is relatively good."

"Don't think about it, just place the order directly. The only problem is that Tennessee is located in the southeastern part of the continental United States, and it is too far away from Hawaii. Does the seller include shipping? I mean, I will pay for the shipping, and they will be responsible for shipping the batch. Little calf, send it to us safely."

After listening to Suri's words.

Old Andy happened to remember one thing, with a slightly embarrassed expression on his face, he tentatively asked:

"My friend's family has a son who called me some time ago and said he wanted to come to Hawaii to join me. He grew up in a herd of cattle and is more experienced than the locals. He can directly deal with various jobs. If you want to recruit people, can you Give him an internship opportunity? Just let him take charge of this matter and take care of Kuroge Wagyu along the way."

On the ranch side, there is no shortage of manpower in the short term.

Due to the disaster caused by the drought, the original breeding plan has been affected, and the second batch of cattle and sheep has not yet been ordered.

In addition, with the arrival of the winter fattening period, the northern part of the continental United States is covered with heavy snow and ice, and the transportation is inconvenient, which leads to an increase in the price of calves, so there is no rush to continue purchasing for a while.

Besides.

Su Rui's small private experiment did not come to a specific conclusion.

If possible, he hopes to raise some high-value-added cattle and sheep breeds, and try to distinguish them from ordinary pastures.

For example, only wagyu cattle are raised on the entire island, which is convenient for building a brand and shaping a high-end image.

There is no shortage of cattle and sheep all over the world. Only by finding a way to stand out can it be possible to maximize the benefits. Lanai Ranch has just started, so it is very important to find the right position.

Once the "ordinary" impression is left in people's minds, it will be twice the result with half the effort if you want to change it.

So Su Rui is not in a hurry to continue purchasing. At this moment, he is very proud of old Andy, and he nodded and replied:

"I believe in your vision. Just waiting for these batches of pure blood wagyu cattle to be delivered, experienced people are needed to take care of them. When you are free, take my plane to Australia and help me find some suitable suppliers. Fang, more than 100 wagyu cattle are too few, and at least two to three thousand more wagyu must be bought.”

Old Andy smacked his lips.

After all, if all Japanese black cattle are bought, 1000 calves will cost about [-] million US dollars. Counting the subsequent feeding costs, how many pastures can afford such a large expenditure?
He reminded Suri:

"We should try raising a batch first, and then make a decision after seeing the quality. Wagyu beef that can really be sold to high-end restaurants only accounts for about 10% of the meat yield. Their quality will directly determine the ranch. Is it profitable."

Su Rui didn't worry about this, and explained:
"Don't worry, I already have a plan. If I make a wrong decision, it has nothing to do with you. The real cowhide handbag on the street stall may only be worth thirty dollars, but the plastic LV handbag is worth two dollars." Thousands of dollars, even if it's just to create some more gimmicks to attract tourists to visit, this expenditure is well worth it."

After all, he is the boss, and old Andy didn't continue to say more.

Anyway, as long as the Kuroge Wagyu is successfully raised, even if it is only used as a breeding cow, the possibility of losing money is very small.

The pressure came to old Andy.

When he thinks about his future, he will need to take care of a herd worth tens of millions of dollars, and he feels a lot of pressure.

Kuroge Wagyu is much more delicate than Angus, Simmental, etc...
