American Ranch

Chapter 446 Plans for the future
China is a traditional farming culture, while the yacht culture is a Bolai culture...

When playing yachts, money is the first thing.Second is culture...

There are a lot of rich people in China, and many people yearn for yachts, but not many people are willing to spend money for it.Because this thing is too troublesome.

The market in Coconut State is actually unable to support large marinas, not to mention the marinas in the water area of ​​400 mu, even the marinas in the water area of ​​200 mu are very popular.

But Chen Mo is still planning to build a 400-acre water marina for future considerations... There is a port in Coconut State, and the size of the port is not small.But there is no marina, and the fishing boat berthing area is not standardized...

This is an artificial island. It is easy to fill the sea, but it is difficult to restore it.

Coconut State is developing tourism. It has a large yacht marina and a relatively low berth fee, which may drive the development of water recreation.

How much money can an artificial island make? Chen Mo himself is not short of money.Just do something that you are interested in and like...

There are more than [-] planners and designers hired by Moxi from more than a dozen companies and seven countries.

Chen Mo talked about his own requirements, a marina with 400 mu of water, a parking lot, at least 2000 parking spaces...the warehouse of the marina, the reception center of the marina...

The yacht dock area is designed to be 130 mu.And then there's the fence blocking...

There are several unfinished buildings on the island, one of which has been repaired to a height of 5 floors, which is a hotel apartment-style residence.There are three other buildings whose foundations have been laid, and they have been repaired to the first floor and two floors... Chen Mo originally wanted to redesign these buildings, but the layout of the apartment-style residences is difficult to change, so he started from scratch and continued to build.Then build two more office buildings...

Chen Xiao's company can't always work in the villa area, and they are going to move here after it is completed.And Chen Mo himself is also planning to integrate the industries and resources under his own name, and set up an investment company, which will be responsible for the economic accounting, production and operation management supervision, financial supervision, and some investment matters of the industries under his name.

There are many industries and investments under Chen Mo's name.

There are mainly valley pastures and Yunshan pastures, neither of which are traditional pastures.Then there is the Valley Manor in Napa Valley. The wines produced there have received a good response after being launched on the market. Chen Mo is also planning to operate the Valley Manor as a winery.

After that, there are some investments, Huafeng Group, Hegu Hegu Animal Husbandry, Rich Farm Company, Yunshan Engineering Company, these companies have to send their own representatives.There is also Nestle Group. Chen Mo holds 1300 million shares of Nestle Group, which can only be counted as a minority shareholder. It can be regarded as a private investment and does not need to send a representative...

But these industries and investments have become chaotic under Chen Mo's name, and they need to be sorted out systematically and then taken care of.It is relatively simple to integrate the industries and resources under one's own name in the name of an investment company, and it can also let oneself know in real time what the status of the industry under one's name is.

The wharf, staff residences, office areas, and a few villas will be built later, and it will be enough.

As for the piece of land on the Coconut Corridor, Chen Mo didn't know what to use it for.I don't have much interest in building a resort, and I can't make a lot of money.

Bai Xiaoou wanted that piece of land, but now he was in debt again and had no money.

Let's develop the small island first, as for the others, we will make other plans in the future.

I told the planners and designers the requirements, and then they were asked to complete the design. The budget given by Chen Mo was 30 billion, which was enough to let their imagination run wild.

Go back to Yunshan Ranch.

Chen Mo turned on the computer to check the operation of the valley ranch this year...

From January this year to now, the turnover of Valley Ranch is only 1 million US dollars.But the livestock industry in St. Bernie's has taken off...

According to the latest report on the animal husbandry industry in San Bernie, there are 15 dairy cows in San Bernie.Dairy cows include cows dedicated to milk production and cows reserved exclusively for breeding.Like Angus cows, in order to pursue the greatest economic benefits, Angus cows will also be used as dairy cows...

21 beef cattle.

There are 30 milk sheep and 82 meat sheep.

And the scale of breeding is still expanding, mainly because the pasture production capacity of the valley pastures has expanded... With the current scale, the pasture production of the valley pastures still has a lot of surplus.

Valley Ranch, the current forage price is 25 US dollars per ton, alfalfa.Sweet elephant grass, $22 per ton.There is no rye planted on the valley pasture side, there is no need.The nutritional value of ryegrass is not as good as that of sweet elephant grass...Speaking of which, the comprehensive nutritional value of sweet elephant grass is higher than that of alfalfa...and the pure economic value is much higher than that of alfalfa, and the yield is large.

Alfalfa has high protein content and is mainly used to produce feed for dairy cows and sheep, and the quality of fresh milk produced is better.Sweet elephant grass is mainly used to raise beef, cattle and sheep, and has a better fattening effect.

There are 6 acres of sweet elephant grass and 3.8 acres of alfalfa grass in the valley pasture.

The yield per acre of alfalfa is about 210 tons, fresh pasture.The yield per acre of sweet elephant grass has been planted this year, so far... There is a 200-acre field dedicated to recording data. The data compiled is that up to now, an average of 450 tons per acre has been harvested.This has not yet reached the peak yield period, and each harvest, the production has increased...

Planting sweet elephant grass, especially with an industrial operation model, is too cost-effective to plant sweet elephant grass.

For a well-managed farm in the Central Valley of California, the annual output is about $1 per acre.There are some good ones and some not so good ones, but usually no more than $1500 per acre.

But in the valley ranch, the annual output of 1 acre of sweet elephant grass will definitely exceed 1 US dollars.As for alfalfa, the economy is not so good, only about 5000 US dollars.

In St. Bernie's, alfalfa hay production is low and demand is high.But Chen Mo is not planning to expand the scale of alfalfa planting anymore... The important use of alfalfa is to produce high-quality fresh milk.Anything is worthless if you have too much of it.To maintain sufficient profits, production must be controlled...

Besides, according to the original plan, fresh alfalfa should be purchased for US$50 per ton.And there is still room for price increases at this price, because the profits of farmers are large enough.

The fresh milk produced in St. Bernie Town is sold to Nestle Group, and the purchase price for high-quality fresh milk is very high.Then there is the link of making feed...Chen Mo and the others have calculated that if you buy alfalfa for $100 per ton, River Valley Animal Husbandry and local farmers will also make money.

As for sweet elephant grass, there is also a lot of room for price increases.As long as sweet elephant grass can be used to raise good enough fat cattle, and it is more cost-effective than grain feed, it can still increase... 1 ton of sweet elephant grass is 50 dollars, which should be about the same.After all, they are not ordinary pastures...

If the breeding scale of Saint Bernie Town can completely consume the output of the valley pasture, then... it would be terrifying.
