Jiang Hai didn't know whether the slaughter rate of cattle would increase, but he had a feeling that the best meat he raised was definitely not as simple as 10%. What if it reached 15%?
And most importantly, the other meats would not be too bad. If there were only some scraps, and only the best ones—those specially selected beef—how much would this cow be worth?
Two hundred thousand, not expensive, right? Twenty thousand cows, each worth two hundred thousand, how much is that?
Two billion, or US dollars! Even if all taxes were paid, Jiang Hai could still keep half—one billion!
How many years would it take to recover the money? Haha, Jiang Hai suddenly felt that he regretted it because he had been too stupid.
What is money? Money is a tool. As long as he wants, he can make it anytime!
Since cattle are like this, generating a billion US dollars in income for him a year, what about fish?
Others raise fish, mainly cod, herring, mackerel, and the like. Indeed, the price of these fish is not high.
But what if I don't raise these fish? What if I raise Atlantic salmon or even tuna?
Not to mention the legendary bluefin, the income from raising yellowfin alone for a year would be several billion US dollars.
What? This thing cannot be artificially cultivated? That's for others. For Jiang Hai, is this a big deal?
Thinking of this, Jiang Hai felt his heart pounding in his chest. He suddenly realized that he seemed to have found a treasure trove. Jiang Hai didn't care about the subsequent auction, but Robbins kept raising his hand.
He bought more than 90% of the Angus cattle in the back. This is Boston, in the East. The original livestock industry here has been on the verge of extinction. It has been a long time since large farms have bought so many animals.
So although he bought 90% of the Angus cattle, Robbins only bought more than 1,200 Angus cattle in total.
However, the quality of these cattle will naturally be better than those recommended by Lehman. This is inevitable.
After buying these cows, there was still a gap of 19,000. After a simple lunch at noon, some farmers came to them in the afternoon. They picked some trustworthy people who knew them well and drove to their ranches for a few laps. In the afternoon, they ordered another 3,900 cows, which added up to 5,100.
Almost all the Angus cows that could be gathered around here—or, to be more precise, the good Angus cows—had been bought up.
The rest would be handed over to Lehman. Of course, if they were not satisfied with Lehman's cows, they could refuse them at any time.
At dusk that day, Jiang Hai and the two F750s pulled a huge cart and took the 5,100 cows they had picked back to their ranch. Bell and Harriman had already prepared the cowshed. After the cows got off the cart, they let them calm down and get familiar with the pasture they would stay in. Before it got dark, they sent the cows to the cowshed. But the matter was not over yet. The cows had to work for a while tonight.
Fortunately, these people were familiar with it. At night, Philemon, Burke-Dale, and Harriman did not sleep but kept preparing fodder in the cowshed to observe whether the cows had adapted to the new environment.
As the owner of the ranch, Jiang Hai also came to take a look. Strangely enough, after Jiang Hai arrived, the cows that were originally noisy actually calmed down and ate the fresh grass that Jiang Hai had just sent.
Obviously, these people would not know that Jiang Hai had also dripped blood into the pile of fresh grass, which he had prepared long ago.
The energy of blood is very powerful. After all, it is the legendary dragon blood. So Jiang Hai did not use too much. He just diluted the blood and mixed it with water at a ratio of one to one hundred thousand. Then, when he had time in the past few days, he watered part of the grass on the pasture. But there was no way. There was too much grass. Jiang Hai watered it for these days, but he only managed to water about one-twentieth of it. But obviously, the grass watered with blood grew much better than other grass.
The grass he sent over today was from that area. When his pasture is ready in the future, it will become a paradise for cattle.
But now, it is not clear whether it is a paradise for cattle. It is inevitable that it is a paradise for insects.
When Jiang Hai went there at night, there were tens of thousands of fireflies lying on the grass leaves, illuminating the place like daylight.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Hai was thinking, should he raise some chickens to get rid of these insects? It's really troublesome!
But anyway, the cows calmed down and didn't make any noise all night. The next morning, when Jiang Hai woke up, he found that the Blue Wolf Mastiff and Caucasian, who had been sleeping there for a day and a night, had woken up.
Compared to when they were just brought back the day before, these two dogs were much more energetic.
Although the Caucasian was still a bit silly, the agility in its eyes was much better than before.
As for the Blue Wolf Mastiff, it didn't change much, except that its hair, which was originally a bit messy, became much smoother now.
When looking at other things, it still had a silent expression, but when looking at Jiang Hai, it was much softer.
"It looks like it succeeded." Looking at the two dogs in front of him, Jiang Hai chuckled, then walked to the Caucasian's cage. After opening the cage, the Caucasian jumped out of it. After coming out, it carefully sniffed everywhere and then ran out of the villa quickly. Just when Jiang Hai was wondering what it was going to do, it went to the toilet quickly in the open space outside. After finishing, it staggered back in.
"Boom, boom!" The Caucasian, who came in, squatted in front of Jiang Hai, barking excitedly, but did not make any other movements. Seeing its appearance, Jiang Hai smiled. It seemed that this guy had already evolved.
"Lie down, shake hands, and turn around." Looking at the Caucasian, Jiang Hai smiled and began to give orders. Maybe the Caucasian had always heard similar instructions before, but it should not have understood them before. Now, it had almost understood.
Under Jiang Hai's instructions, it began to do these actions. Although sometimes the movements were wrong, as long as Jiang Hai corrected it once, it knew what to do. Jiang Hai couldn't help laughing. Such a result was naturally the best.
"You are so big and hairy, and your ancestral home is Soviet Russia. Well, why don't you call yourself Lao Maozi... It seems a bit silly to call it that. What's your name? Dahei? Damao? Or Dasha?" Touching the head of the Caucasian dog in front of him, since he had decided to raise it, Jiang Hai naturally had to give it a name, but this name didn't seem too easy to come up with.
He really didn't have any talent for naming. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of a satisfactory answer.
In Jiang Hai's memory, the names of dogs are usually based on color, such as Xiaobai, Dabai, Xiaohei, Dahei, Xiaohuang, Dahuang, etc. But calling it Dahei seemed a bit silly. Looking at the dog's head in front of him, it was almost as big as a bear's head. After rubbing it hard, Jiang Hai suddenly remembered a name.
"Otherwise, you can call it Xiaobai, what a good name." Patting the Caucasian's head, Jiang Hai said seriously.
What a large Caucasian dog that is almost two meters tall when standing up, called Xiaobai. Well, Jiang Hai's bad taste has escalated.
"Okay, it's settled. You can call it Xiaobai!" Jiang Hai rubbed the head of the Caucasian again and said with a smile.
After naming the Caucasian, Jiang Hai couldn't help but prepare to name the Blue Wolf Mastiff behind him. But when he turned around, he found that the Blue Wolf Mastiff was no longer in the cage. It had gone outside and was going to the toilet there. When he saw Jiang Hai looking at it, the Blue Wolf Mastiff slowly walked back and squatted outside the cage.
"Damn, it's clever. Didn't they say that after the founding of the country, it's not allowed to become clever and turn into a ghost?" People say that Tibetan mastiffs are stupid, but this Blue Wolf Mastiff seems to have made great progress in IQ after this evolution. It just saw me open the cage once, and it actually remembered it?
And it can open the cage with its claws. Isn't that a bit too intimidating?
"Uh." Feeling that Jiang Hai seemed to be paying attention to him, the Blue Wolf Mastiff opened its mouth, then walked in front of Jiang Hai, took the initiative to lie down, and turned its belly towards Jiang Hai. Jiang Hai had heard before that when an animal turns its belly towards another animal, it is to show goodwill and submission, to show that it has admitted defeat, and also to act like a spoiled child.
Looking at the Blue Wolf in front of him, he knew without thinking that this guy would not take the second path, so it could only be the first one.
"You are really smart." Looking at the Blue Wolf in front of him, Jiang Hai scratched its belly. Feeling the trembling coming from the Blue Wolf Mastiff, Jiang Hai chuckled. It seems that this Blue Wolf Mastiff is still not used to getting along with humans.
"Since you've come out, I'll give you a name too. Its fur is black, so it's called Xiaobai. Your fur is gray and white, so you'll be called... Xiaohei? Or, Xiaoqing? Forget it, you're not a snake," Jiang Hai scratched his head. He really wasn't very good at naming.
"Or, you can be called Xiaohuang! Okay, this name is pretty good, let's call it Xiaohuang!" Finally, as if he had made up his mind, Jiang Hai patted the head of the Blue Wolf Mastiff and decided on a name that looked good to him...
It's conceivable that the black Caucasian is called Xiaobai, after all, black and white are opposites, but there's not a single bit of yellow on the Blue Wolf Mastiff, so it's called Xiaohuang? Are you sure this is okay?
But unfortunately, Jiang Hai thought he had named it well, and then happily led the two big dogs out of his villa.
But just as he walked out, he saw Bell-Lester in the distance walking towards the cowshed. When he saw the two dogs, he was also startled. To be exact, when he saw Xiaohuang, he was startled. He didn't understand why Jiang Hai let it out.
