Rural life in America

Chapter 281 Long-Term Planning
Zhang Hao reckoned that he would give Christina a leg massage at night. She had been shopping with Erica all day; she didn’t seem to be tired at all, but now she seemed to be in good spirits. A happy, carefree.

It's definitely not the kind of fun to go shopping with Xixi, although Xixi has now cultivated the potential of a little shopaholic, and the little girl really likes shopping now.But how should I put it, the key point of shopping with Xixi is "bringing", and shopping with a good girlfriend is naturally a joyful experience, which completely satisfies Christina's shopping fun.

Zhang Hao wisely didn't say anything, because he knew it would be useless to say anything; the other thing is that Zhang Hao also felt that there was nothing wrong with it, as Christina was pregnant and naturally needed to be taken care of.But in the end, Christina is not a fragile porcelain doll, useless and so delicate, shopping is really nothing, no problem at all.

Arriving at the Moda Center Stadium again, Zhang Hao still feels quite good; it is indeed a pleasure to watch an NBA game when he has the opportunity. Who made Zhang Hao a basketball fan? Who let him know about watching the game live The atmosphere is more enthusiastic, which is a completely different experience from watching the broadcast in front of the TV.

Christina asked curiously, "Honey, have you become a Trail Blazers fan now? I can guarantee that the most live games you watch are the Trail Blazers games, and this is my hometown team. You should support it."

Zhang Hao laughed, and said in a low voice, "Obviously not yet, I only like to watch teams that play well, but I have to admit that I have more affection for this team recently. My dear, don't force it I became a Trail Blazers fan, and I know you don't support this team at all. Maybe, I can consider becoming an Oregon State University fan."

Christina is quite satisfied with this answer. Of course, she is not a basketball fan, but a football fan.Even though she is sitting on the spot watching basketball, Christina is trying to imbue Zhang Hao with the charm of football.

It seems that Christina wanted to encourage Zhang Hao to watch the Super Bowl. This time, she missed the chance to watch the Super Bowl, because she had just returned to the ranch at that time, and because she had Xixi with her at that time, there was no time at all, so It can be regarded as a pigeon released by my brother-in-law Adrian.

No way, time really doesn't allow it.

After watching a game, they also went back to rest; but for Zhang Hao and Christina, it was time to go back to the ranch.Although the two days in Portland were very relaxed and comfortable, their home was in the ranch, and they couldn't stay here forever. They were going back to the base camp and their home.

It was another long journey, and Christina and Zhang Hao also kept going along the way.

I laughed as soon as I got home, watching Xixi happily running around on the lawn, followed by the chubby puppies Goofy and Spike, these two 'mixed-breed' Tibetan mastiffs are still small, but They have already started to receive more professional training. They are going to develop in the direction of working dogs, and they will not become family pet dogs like white lions and white tigers.

Xixi was very happy and rushed over, "Dad, Mommy, I miss you."

Zhang Hao bent down to hug Xixi, and kissed Xixi's chubby little round face. The little guy laughed childishly, and she was very happy.Parents are back, which is naturally the happiest thing for Xixi.

The coquettish little girl misses her parents, so she always asks her father to hug her; just hug her, no problem at all.

I greeted my parents, Zhang Hao also got a reminder, Barney and Phil sent emails and waited for Zhang Hao to analyze a few horses; Professor Xiao En also sent an email, which was the initial assessment of Zhang Hao Some opinions and evaluations.

I just came back and started to get busy again, but it’s no problem for Zhang Hao; on the one hand, it’s making money and working, and on the other hand, it’s naturally my hobbies, so doing these things doesn’t feel boring at all, even if Zhang Hao is a person who likes to be lazy, but he will not complain about these things.

Zhang Hao is at his fingertips to analyze the horse racing. As for the research on the riders and the odds, Barney and Phil can handle it. In fact, there are often only a few horses in some big competitions, but sometimes the state and health of the horses will fluctuate. There are often some unfamiliar horse races in the competition, so analysis is still necessary.

After studying the horse racing and finishing part of the work, Zhang Hao felt that he was basically satisfied; it was estimated that another [-] to [-] US dollars would be credited.Barney and Phil's information gathering and analysis is very good, and the next thing is that they are busy.

Satisfied, it's just a first-level match, not a major event; it adds up, there are dozens of first-level matches every year, and the number of "accumulation makes more" is really good , not to mention that [-] to [-] U.S. dollars for a game is already a lot, so don't be too greedy, and of course you can't look down on these "pocket money" just because you have a little status now.

"Mom, will the next time you come over be at the end of April?"

During the meal, Zhang Hao couldn't help asking, "My parents are going back to China. This time I came to the ranch just to see Xixi, and to see Zhang Hao and Christina's ability to take care of themselves."

Zhang Jianye nodded and said, "Seeing that the two of you can take care of yourself, your mother and I are relieved. This time, when we come over in April, I will help you with Xixi, and you can make money."

Mom and Dad would only come to the ranch again during the Triple Crown, no problem, Zhang Hao didn't think it was a problem at all.

As for the temporary end of Zhang Hao's comfortable little life after his parents return to China, Zhang Hao doesn't think it's a big problem, and he and Christina won't be affected too much, because they know that such a life is completely different. No problem, they can handle that.

After dinner, Zhang Hao also had time to have a good chat with his parents; not only Zhang Hao wanted to chat with his parents, but they also really wanted to chat with Zhang Hao.

Zhang Jianye sat on the sofa drinking coffee, and said to Zhang Hao, "Your boss has arrived at the feed factory and started working. I heard from your boss that Xiaojian has done a good job, and now he has set a lot of frameworks." , I have clarified some plans. I haven’t seen any results yet, but your boss said it is really helpful.”

Zhang Hao doesn't think there is anything strange about this matter, it's normal, "Brother Xiaojian has also been the director of a large market, and he has worked in a large company, so he must have the strength. His past words must have something to do with the feed factory. Help, in the past we were a little quarrelsome and not very formal, and didn’t have a clear long-term plan, what he said in the past was much better.”

Zhang Jianye nodded, thinking the same way, "Your boss also said the same thing. Xiaojian's coming here has indeed helped a lot. He is not very familiar with the feed market yet, and he probably needs to get acquainted. It's time for him to get used to it. Probably better."

Zhang Hao thinks this is true. Although he believes that Xiao Laobiao has the strength and experience to take on the burden, but jumping from the home appliance market to the feed industry will definitely take some time to adapt, and Zhang Hao can afford it .

Zhang Hao thought for a while and said, "Did they say anything about export? The domestic market is huge, but I think export can be considered. There is nothing to say about the quality of our feed. There must be a market for export. Brother Xiaojian used to be in foreign trade, so he should be better at it, right?"

Zhang Hao really doesn't care much about the operation of the feed mill, he basically only cares about the 'technical' aspect.However, since he knows that the feed factory has a bright future, Zhang Hao will certainly be concerned about it, because he knows that the feed factory is actually very profitable. Hao will not think too much money.

Zhang Jianye actually did some things while staying in his hometown during this time, at least he is more or less concerned about the feed factory now.The feed factory was jointly developed by the two sons, and it seems to have considerable potential, so of course I am more concerned about it.

So he said what he knew, "It seems to be a problem of production capacity. There are not many people who grow herbs for our family. I heard from your boss that there will definitely be higher sales this year. The domestic market is still growing." If you haven’t fully opened it, you basically don’t think much about export. Brother Xiaojian mentioned it, try to see the review of export first, and lay the foundation for the future.”

This makes it clear that the current production capacity cannot keep up, so it is more pragmatic to focus on the domestic market now, and develop the base camp well, so that we can let go and open up new markets.Who makes it so that the domestic market does not have too much share now, and naturally it needs to work harder at this time.

However, we all know that exporting is not a simple matter, so it is natural to start preparing in advance at this time; it is not a simple matter to export feed to countries with developed animal husbandry such as the United States and Australia, and it will take a lot of time for approvals and the like time.

So don't say anything about exporting now, just lay the foundation and create some conditions now, so as not to be in a hurry.Another one is that it will actually take some time to expand the production capacity, but it is definitely not a few years. As long as the conditions are ripe and the planting area of ​​herbal medicine is sufficient, the production capacity can be raised at any time.

So now it is still necessary to do a good job in the domestic market and start preparing for export in advance.

This looks actually quite good. The development of the feed mill is no longer "letting nature take its course". At least now there are some clear directions, which is naturally a very good thing.
