American Ranch

Chapter 36 Mr. Budgeting
At night, it was raining.

The rain in September is getting colder...

In the middle of the night, Chen Mo fell into a drowsy sleep, and suddenly felt something sweeping across his face: "Baby, don't..."

"Ah Li." It was the cat that crawled onto the bed. Chen Mo thought it was Hill, and stretched out his hand to hug the cat under the quilt, stroked its head, and suddenly felt sleepless.

Hill has been away for a while, so he should settle in Los Angeles.

I hope she lives well in the big city.

Parting, the two never said goodbye from beginning to end.Hill just said she didn't like the country, was going to Los Angeles, and left.

Chen Mo didn't want to stay either. During this time, it was obvious that Hill didn't like life on the ranch, and he had too many things to do.

When Hill left, Chen Mo was not sad, but suddenly there were fewer people around him, and he was somewhat unaccustomed to it.Especially at night, when a person sleeps on a double bed, he can't help but think of it.

Buying the ranch seems to be drifting away from the leisurely life I originally hoped for.It may be that I was used to being busy, used to working hard, and earning money.If you can't find something to do when you are free, you will feel flustered and unsteady...

In fact, there are some things that you don't have to do yourself. After all, you are a big boss with tens of millions in debt.

……

Once I slept until dawn, I woke up naturally, and I was lazy in bed and didn't want to get up.

Chen Mo moved to live in Lake Ranch, it was too remote to live in Xiaoxigu.Now that the ranch has been expanded to 3.5 hectares, it is necessary to live in the middle of the ranch...

"Boss, Mr. Cohen from the bank has arrived in Judith. I'll go pick him up. Are you up yet?" Canlby knocked on the door lightly and shouted from outside.The boss seems to be broken in love, and his temper has been grumpy for the past few days, and Calby tried his best to be gentle so as not to touch Chen Mo's brow.

"Get up." Chen Mo turned over and got up, and found a formal suit to put on.

"Then I'm out."

After getting up and sitting in the simple office of the ranch for a few minutes, several cars drove up one after another.Cohen, a fat middle-aged man... Wells Fargo Bank Lewistown Branch Manager, President.

Chen Mo borrowed 3850 million yuan from there, which was the largest business Cohen ever handled, so he was particularly concerned about the Snow Mountain Ranch.

It is difficult to do any business these days, and it is no exception to run a bank, especially in a small place.

"Mo, we meet again." Cohen opened his hands.

Chen Mo stepped forward to hug him, and whispered, "Have you found the person I want?"

"Of course, in the back...this one." Cohen introduced: "Bright, the former ranch manager of the Paulner Ranch."

"I still am." The man behind was in his early forties, wearing a suit and looking very stylish.

His appearance and demeanor are not like that of a ranch manager, but rather that of a high-ranking white-collar worker...

"It won't be soon." Cohen said with a smile.

Cohen and Bright came here today, especially Cohen, without any assistants.It is to help Chen Mo act as a headhunter for free...

Bonner Ranch is a famous ranch in Montana with more than 5 head of cattle.

Chen Mo wanted to hire a manager for the Snow Mountain Ranch. During this time, Chen Mo and Cohen also got to know each other well, and Cohen recommended Bright.

Brett's previous serious expression slowly melted: "Well, if the salary is good, I can switch jobs. Anyway, I haven't renewed the contract over there, so I can leave at any time."

"Annual salary... 20. Pay 1 per month, and pay the remaining 12 at the end of December."

"Not as good as my current treatment." Brett frowned.

"From next year, [-]% of the ranch's net profit will be your bonus."

"God...you are so good at business, how much is the net profit of 25%?" Brett made a speechless expression, he is a rare high-income wage earner in Montana, with an annual salary of [-] million or after tax.

For ten years he has worked at Bonner Ranch, turning an ordinary family-owned ranch into one of Montana's most recognizable ranches.

Americans are very practical. Since an annual salary of 25 is given, this person must be worth the price.Cohen and Chen Mo have mentioned this person more than once, and they highly respect him...

"My ranch can produce first-class mutton specially for high-end restaurants. Three Angus cattle were slaughtered a few days ago. After being graded by the Ministry of Agriculture's graders, the three Angus cattle are all Prime-grade (special) except for the tendon. Gifted class)."

"Except for the rear tendon... all?" Brett swallowed, "A few months old Angus?"

"Nine and a half months."

"Impossible, nine-and-a-half-month-old Angus?"

Chen Mo shrugged his shoulders: "Nothing is impossible, it's the truth. The grading report is here..." Chen Mo said, opened the drawer, took out the grading report of Angus cattle and handed it over.

According to this report, the price of a cow can at least double, and if it is an Angus cattle less than ten months old, the price will be even higher.

"20 annual salary before tax or after tax?"

"Before tax."

Brett's cheek twitched slightly...

A 1000% net profit bonus... The ranch's annual net profit has to exceed [-] million to catch up with his previous treatment.

It's scary just thinking about it, and almost impossible to do.

"I want an annual salary of 30, after tax. As for the [-]% net profit reward you mentioned, forget it, I'm not interested." Bright smiled wryly and shook his head.

"Deal, 30 annual salary, after tax. The payment method is still 1 per month, and No. 12 will pay the remaining 18."

"Semi-monthly salary, $5000."

Yankees can't save money, even high-income earners...

"OK." Chen Mo stood up with a smile and shook hands with him, then printed out the contract in duplicate, and the two signed the contract under the witness of Cohen.

After the two shook hands again, Cohen smiled and asked Camerby to take him to the horse farm...

"Boss, can you take me to the grazing?"

"Of course." Chen Mo locked the contract into the insurance, took his Ford car keys and made an invitation gesture.

The Lake Valley has fertile land, rich pastures, and a large area of ​​farmland has been developed.And the entire Snow Mountain Ranch, where the land is fertile and has a lot of water, is the Lake Valley.

With the further expansion of the pasture, the pasture occupies the entire Lake Valley, with a total area of ​​nearly 5000 hectares.

Leaving the river valley, a desolate atmosphere rushed over...

"Xueshan Ranch mainly raises cattle and sheep."

"Cow. The mutton market in the United States is not big, and exporting mutton is troublesome." Chen Mo handed Brett a cigarette, and he froze for a moment before catching it.

Chen Mo drove with one hand, lit a cigarette with the other, and drove on the Gobi desert where almost no grass grew: "Although the snow mountain pasture has an area of ​​3.5 hectares, the fertile land is less than 6 hectares, mainly in the Lake Valley, which accounts for 5000 hectares. Suitable Grazing grassland, 1.5 hectares. The rest is the Gobi... about 1.3 hectares."

The Gobi is not a desert, but a desert and semi-desert area, and the soil is bare rock and gravel.

The Gobi is mostly located in places with higher altitudes and little rainfall.The Gobi is not barren of grass, clusters of plants are far apart, looking desolate and barren.

These lands can also grow plants if they have a water source for irrigation.

"Hearing from Cohen, Snow Mountain Ranch cost $3490 million before and after."

"Ok?"

"You're running a ranch, not a vacation... You bought the wrong place."

Chen Mo smiled: "It doesn't matter. Even in this desolate place, my ranch can make a lot of money."

"Well, you have stated a fact that I cannot refute." Brett also breathed a sigh of relief seeing Chen Mo's confident expression: "How many cows can the grazing area of ​​the pasture graze?"

The amount of grazing that can be grazing is different in different places, mainly based on the abundance of forage and whether it will cause damage to the grassland.

像是之前的雪山牧场，10公顷草原可放牧1头牛和4只羊，或者13公顷草原放牧2头牛。

More grazing can be done in areas with strong pastures, and less can be done in places with scarce pastures. For 1.5 hectares of grassland, the maximum allowed for grazing...

"2700 cows." Chen Mo said.

5.5 hectares grazing a cow...

Brett's head hurts.

The Montana prairies are not as barren as imagined.The problem is the area where the Snow Mountain Ranch is located... No wonder Chen Mo expanded the Snow Mountain Ranch to 3.5 hectares so easily, which is more than 8 acres.

"You owe nearly 5000 million yuan to the bank, although you may not be able to pay it off in five years...you have to plan carefully."

"That's the main reason for inviting you to Snow Mountain Ranch, Mr. Budget."
