Little Life on An American Ranch - Chapter 702

  Chapter 702 Taking over the new pasture

   After seeing the office, Jian Heng couldn’t help agreeing with the Europeans’ ideas. They all think that Americans are nouveau riche. Up to now, this kind of thinking is still very popular among old-school Europeans.

When Jian Heng stood in the office, he immediately felt a strong nouveau riche atmosphere. The whole room was full of Victorian decorations, complicated and trivial, giving people the feeling that they wished to put a few lines on the toilet feet. Make a few lace out. It looks like people want to find a rope to strangle themselves.

  Tobi followed Jian Heng out of the office, and said to Jian Heng: “Boss, why don’t you move the office here?”

Toby was shocked and envious of this office, but he also knew that such a luxurious office was obviously not something he, a ranch supervisor, could care about. Such an office is almost equivalent to a small apartment, with the side room There are beds, a small kitchen, wine cabinet, cloakroom, etc., as long as you think of it, this office alone occupies a net 160 bungalows. Note that this is the internal area of ​​the apartment, not the domestic area. The wonderful algorithm with the so-called shared area.

   “Why did I move here! And I don’t like the style of this room, so how about it, you can move the office in!” Jian Heng said.

The office has been swept away. The antique books and other things that were originally used as decorations here are naturally impossible to leave to Jian Heng. Even the original executive desk was taken away. I heard that it cost more than a hundred An antique from years ago was once used by an emperor in Europe.

   “Me? It’s not suitable for me to move here. Such a big office is empty, and I don’t know what to fill it with!”

Tobi felt that his brain was not enough. Thinking about such a big office, he would not be able to use it even if he was lying down. Besides, it was useless for him to occupy such a large office. He would not be able to use it after a year of work. There is a whole day in the office.

   “What are you afraid of, you have to know how to get a few specimens and move them here, it’s all over! Anyway, I can’t sit here all day, and this will be your office from now on!” Jian Heng said casually.

Without waiting for Toby to answer, he opened his mouth and said: “You assign all the current cowboys. Although there is not much work, you can’t let them idle. You can organize them to repair the place when they have nothing to do. All the places that should be replaced should be repaired and replaced!”

“This office is only suitable for you. Even if I’m crowded here with people, it doesn’t look like it. Besides, how long can I stay in the office? I’d better squeeze an office with accountants like before. , it just so happens that the original accounting office here is also big enough,” Toby said.

  This office is really not suitable for anyone except the boss, it’s boring! Such a large area must be equipped with a large desk and a reception room. Toby knew how much he weighed, and he couldn’t even think about sitting in such an office.

   “Let’s talk about it again.” Jian Heng thought for a while and felt that Toby’s words were right. It was really inappropriate for him, a ranch supervisor, to sit in such a big office.

  Next, Jian Heng and Tobi took a look at the infrastructure of the ranch. The most important thing is to meet with the dozen or so cowboys who stayed behind, so that everyone can get to know each other briefly. Many people here used to be colleagues with Toby. Some people are not used to it.

The facilities of the big ranch are much better than those of Jian Heng’s. The reason for the price is justified. The original owner’s investment in basic equipment can be said to be in the tens of millions. The barn here, Drive the livestock in, there are hundreds or thousands of cattle, and only four to five people can manage them. If the same number is changed to Jianheng Ranch for captivity, at least ten to fifteen people can manage it.

  The impact of the company-style large ranch on the traditional ranch is precisely due to this. Informatization and modular management have greatly reduced costs and enhanced the competitiveness of their own products. If it weren’t for the existence of the wolf king, if Jian Heng wanted to buy such a large ranch, it would be impossible to get it without stealing more than 20%, let alone the price cut to 80%.

“Look at the arrangement of the people here. Anyway, this is mainly where the cowboys live and work. As for the cowboys over there, do you think they work in shifts or are they divided into two groups?” Jian Heng asked. .

  The distance between the two sides is not too far, the distance between them is about three miles, which is about five or six kilometers in kilometers. Five or six kilometers is quite a distance to walk, but is it still a problem to ride a horse or drive?

Although the distance is not too far, if there are jobs on both sides, they must be divided into two groups. For example, cowboys have to take care of the horses in the original place, and the students can’t take care of them. First of all, these people may not have The ability to take good care of it, and secondly, people have spent so much money, so they can’t let people do the groom’s work, then the money trap is too obvious.

“I think it’s better to take shifts. The work over there is easier. Waiting for next year, it will be relatively busy here. I will make a one-person list for you to see in a few days. There are people here. Only half of them are going to stay, because even if the cattle from the biological company come in next year, we will not have so many people, so I want to get rid of half of the current people.” Toby thought for a while and said.

  Jian Heng said: “You can make up your own mind about this matter, I won’t ask!”

Jian Heng doesn’t want so many people, and these people don’t give Jian Heng a very good impression. Now if you are willing to do the work in the small town, you can definitely find a higher salary than here, but these people are stunned. Shrinking here and wandering around leisurely every day is tantamount to getting a minimum guaranteed basic salary for nothing.

  When such a situation occurs, either the person is not motivated or the work is not motivated, no matter what kind of situation Jian Heng doesn’t like. And no boss would like it either.

After looking at the building, the two of them looked at the equipment, including the trolley and so on. These machines are complete. Except for a few helicopters, other things like tractors are kept according to the contract. Coming down, Jian Heng is mainly to see if these things can be used this time, and whether they need to be repaired or not.

After an hour of inspection, Jian Heng found that there were few broken ones. Even though they had been harassed by wolves all the time, the tools in these pastures were still well protected. Once you saw this, you knew it was a regular inspection. Maintenance can have this effect.

   “Who maintains these tools, this person must stay!”

   After drying off the engine oil on his hands, Jian Heng said to Tobi.

  Toby took the towel from Jian Heng’s mobile phone, wiped the oil on his hands as well, and said with a smile: “That’s for sure. It looks like this work was done by Old Tiger.”

Toby knows the people on this ranch very well. From the age of nineteen to last year, it can be said that Toby spent the best time in his youth in this ranch. Whoever does the job well and whoever does it Can you usually fool him in a job?

Jian Heng listened and nodded, and then the two started the last step, which was to inspect the pasture. At this time, they could not ride horses. In this winter, the knee-high snow, if they ride horses again, the horses will be exhausted. You must know this The pasture can be more than 25,000 acres, almost five times the size of the original pasture.

  If you can’t ride a horse, you will naturally use a helicopter. Now Jian Heng’s security team has a helicopter. Jian Heng made a phone call, and the helicopter stopped in front of the two of them within ten minutes.

  The main purpose of inspecting the ranch is to check the fence and see where there is any broken place. If there is any broken place, the cowboys must be arranged to repair it immediately.

Turning around in the sky, there are quite a lot of broken places, many of which were directly knocked away by animals. You don’t need to ask for a situation like this to know that it is related to wolves. Except for wolves, no one or other animals will be so frequent. Do this kind of thing.

  Toby was a little worried. He got off the plane and said to Jian Heng: “Boss, the wolves have become our problem now. If we don’t solve this problem, we will buy such a large pasture for nothing.”

   “Wait, don’t discuss this matter now. If the wolves break the fence, then continue to repair it. When the wolves know that there is nothing here, they won’t come again,” Jian Heng said.

   Jian Heng’s words are almost nonsense to Toby. As soon as Toby thought of the wolves, the excitement in his heart immediately shrank exponentially. He was afraid that the wolves would attack the pasture here like before. Not necessarily, like a few days ago, there were only more than 2,000 animals raised in such a large pasture, which was a fraction of the original.

“Okay, let’s go back. If we have time, let Pooh and Denver come over and leave the smell on our bodies, maybe we can scare the wolves away.” Jian Heng saw that Toby’s entire face was almost wrinkled. Together, so he opened his mouth and said.

  At this time, Toby suddenly remembered the group of dogs raised by Master Yao, so he said to Jian Heng: “Call five cattle dogs, I think they are more useful.”

   “Up to you!” Jian Heng replied noncommittally.

  Hearing that Jian Heng agreed, Toby said again: “Can you let the security company…”.

“It’s unlikely. In the future, this place will be the place where cows and horses are raised at most. From time to time, students may come over for a walk or something, but it is unrealistic to expect the security company to include such a large ranch, even if it is really included. , According to these guys’ fees, all the income of the entire ranch will be handed over to them in that year, so we have become part-time workers for them,” Jian Heng said immediately.

  Hearing this, Toby had no choice but to give up. If the input and output did not match, he would definitely not be able to do it.

It took a whole morning to take a look at the new ranch, and I have to say that many places are better than what Jian Heng thought. It can be said that this ranch can be used as soon as it is taken over, but Jian Heng does not want to raise any other brands. Just a cow.
