American Ranch

Chapter 115 Work Arrangements
The road in the small valley has been leveled, and there is basically no feeling of bumps when driving.

Looking at more than ten acres, it is equivalent to a hundred acres.

"Third Uncle..." Chen Mo pointed to the tree and vineyard in front of him, neatly said, "The ranch is mainly divided into two departments, one is the breeding department, which is divided into the breeding area and the breeding area, and each is responsible for different tasks. Then there are supporting departments, including feed mills, power plants, organic fertilizer production, planting, environmental monitoring and so on.”

It sounds messy, but it's not messy at all.

Brett is the general manager and is in charge of everything on the ranch.John is the deputy manager, only in charge of cattle and sheep.

Cons, the environmental director, is in charge of biogas digesters, power generation, feed, dairy plants, planting in the park, etc. He is in charge.

John and Kance have different job titles, but they are actually equals.Even in terms of the importance of the ranch, Kang Si is more important.

Chen Mo briefly talked about the structure of the ranch.Regarding the operation of the ranch, Chen Chen added something...

Father Chen felt dizzy: "It's so complicated. The annual labor cost of the ranch is probably several million dollars."

"Planned, the annual employment cost is $400 million."

"What 400 million?" Chen Xiao drove over, just in time to hear Chen Mo and the others talking about 400 million dollars, and asked.

"I'm talking about the labor cost of the ranch. At this stage, I plan to spend 400 million US dollars a year to pay the workers." Chen Mo smiled and looked at Xiong Jieming: "By the way, the Kang Si we met at the feed factory just now, he and you are the same The same university, just got a Ph.D. It seems to be very famous in your school..."

"Kans, let me just say... he looked familiar just now, I should have seen him somewhere."

The doctoral school of the University of California, Berkeley is not ranked high in the world. It seems that all departments are outside the top five in the world, but each major only recruits [-] to [-] students every year.Just as researching a doctoral school is only the first step, what is even more difficult is graduating... It is not only necessary to publish a certain number of papers in authoritative academic journals, but also to obtain convincing and original research results.Getting a doctorate can take as short as three or four years, and as long as seven or eight years...

Kang Si is about the same age as Chen Mo. He is in his thirties. He just got his Ph.D. last year, but he has been working on an organic farm for six years.His published papers and research topics are also related to organic farms and pastures.

As for the other four doctoral students, they are relatively overwhelmed, young, have little work experience, and work under Kong Si.

"With a labor cost of 400 million yuan a year, can you make money?" Chen Xiao suddenly felt that this big brother was too unreliable.

She works in Tangxia Yipin, and probably knows the price of beef and mutton, and the cost of 400 million workers, how many cattle and sheep will be raised.

Chen Mo shrugged, if he couldn't make money, it would be crazy to invite so many people back.

This involves commercial secrets, Chen Mo did not say.

And Bai Xiaoou...it should have signed a purchase contract with Ellison Logistics Company for 1.5 Dorper sheep.The liquidated damages for this contract are $5000 million...

According to the contract requirements, the output of second-grade mutton is about 2300 million US dollars.If it can produce the first-grade lamb standard set by high-end restaurants, the total value will exceed 3000 million US dollars.

This is a more desperate contract, with high rewards, but also high risks.

Organic goat milk is expensive, and goat manure can be used as organic fertilizer for vineyards.Dorper sheep are short-haired sheep, and they can still be sheared once a year... If the management is good, these incomes can generate net profits.And the income from buying sheep is the net profit in the net profit...

Organic fresh milk can cost as much as ten or twenty dollars a pound.Of course that's retail price on Amazon, green stores, even more expensive milk...

Goat milk is more expensive than cow milk.For example, the green store in Mill Valley sells it. The price of 8.7 pounds of fresh goat milk is 109 pounds. The supply in the green store in Mill Valley is in short supply...

Chen Mo pointed to the tree vineyard, and a group of people walked in: "Third Uncle, Third Aunt, this is Jiabao Orchard. I spent a lot of money to import it from China. There are tens of thousands of saplings and hundreds of The big tree was transported here..."

"Or let third uncle and third aunt help you take care of these precious tree bumps, shouldn't it require any technology?"

When Chen Chen said this, it was very hurtful, and it felt like he was throwing it away at random...

The third uncle was a little embarrassed: "I do have experience in managing orchards. It's the first time I've heard of this grape tree."

"A domestic expert will come over in a few days, and he will teach you how to manage this garden." Chen Mo saw his uncle's expression and knew what he was thinking, and he didn't want to take advantage of Chen Mo: "San uncle, the value of this grape tree It’s expensive. Most of the grapes here are adult, with a total value of more than 700 million U.S. dollars...I will send a few batches later. The most expensive tree is worth 60 yuan. I bought it when I returned to China years ago. .There are more than 10 trees worth 40 yuan per tree. It is not easy to manage these grapes..."

A tree costs 60 RMB...

Hearing this, the third uncle and the third aunt looked at each other in dismay, and felt that their outlook on life, values, and the world were reversed.Is this the world of the rich?
It is not easy for ordinary families to save 10 yuan a year, but the rich buy a tree with 60 yuan.

"What kind of grapes are these, they are more expensive than gold, can they be eaten?" The third uncle looked at the ripe fruit on the tree and asked.

"Eatable. Grape tree, formerly known as Jiabao fruit, is also a high-end fruit in the United States. It sells for twenty or thirty dollars per pound. A tree that is more than 10 years old and well managed can produce Jiabao every year in a suitable growing area. The fruit is about thirty or forty pounds. The older the tree, the higher the yield..."

There are very few fruits on the tree, and there are densely packed flower buds with small bumps...

There is no rush to let the tree bear fruit, it is better to wait until the roots of the tree grow stronger.

Chen Mo also has his own considerations for arranging separate jobs for the third uncle and the others.The third uncle and the others have difficulty in language communication with other workers, and besides, he is Chen Mo's third uncle and elder... Language communication is not smooth, and it is inevitable that there will be some problems working with other workers.

Sanjiu and the others still hold tourist visas, and formal work visas are basically impossible to obtain in a short period of time. Even if they can be obtained, it will cost a lot of money... Sanjiu and the others are definitely not willing.

Let's arrange for them to work independently first, this garden needs someone to take care of it anyway.

"Uncle, aunt, I will entrust this orchard to you from now on." Chen Mo smiled and cupped his hands and said, "For now, your salary is the same as that of ordinary workers. I will talk to Brett later and sign the contract later."

"We only take care of a few trees, and we don't need such a high salary." The third uncle shook his head again and again.

"This job is not easy. After you settle down, I will ask Chen Chen to tell you about the specific work. You have to learn how to drive a tractor and use some other equipment."

The government has acquiesced in the existence of illegal workers, and a formal contract can be signed... If you don't want to have follow-up troubles, you can also get a report from the local government department.

Because personal income from working illegally is still subject to taxation.As long as there is taxation, many things can be turned a blind eye...

In Pinos City, where the Dry River Valley is located, there are a lot of illegal workers on the ranch here, and the prices of illegal workers are cheap.It would be strange if there were no illegal workers in any ranch...
