Chapter 91 A New Partner, a Handsome Little Black Horse!
Xu Ran Farm is developing steadily, and its commercial channels have already been established.
In other words, as long as you keep it up, making money will come naturally.
Xu Ran can be considered a real boss.
Now that the farm has more employees, many things have become more organized.
However, there is still work to do when there is work, and rest when there is no work. Just complete the routine work every day, and Xu Ran is in charge of the overall direction.
Xu Ran, on the other hand, had some free time.
These past few days have been really comfortable; I've just been playing with the little ones every day.
The best part is riding on the back of a yellow ox, waving your hand to call down a few sparrows, and then casually petting them.
The sparrows are very obedient to him now.
Every time it landed on his hand, it stood obediently, not afraid at all.
After all, he's a farm owner, so his life is naturally quite comfortable.
That afternoon.
Xu Ran was resting beside the wheat field.
At that moment, Li Wu rushed over.
"Brother Ran, there's something I need to tell you."
"I saw that the vacant lot next to us has been rented out. Someone has hired an excavator to clear the weeds and is also putting up a fence."
"I took a look, and that person has rented at least 100 acres of land."
"I reckon they'll have to grow greenhouse crops too."
Li Wu reported to Xu Ran.
"Anyone in the same industry?"
"No one has rented this land for years. I guess they saw that my farm is making money, so they want to follow suit."
Xu Ran was somewhat surprised when she heard this.
That's how business works.
Especially in China, if someone's business is profitable, many people will immediately want a piece of the pie, or even replace them.
Liu Qiangdong had previously compared the differences in business thinking between Arab countries and China.
If an Arab makes money opening a gas station, another Arab, seeing this, will open a motel, and then another Arab might open a supermarket, eventually forming an industrial town.
If a Chinese person makes money opening a gas station, then before long, four more gas stations will appear around that gas station.
There are successful templates available; just copy them.
"I guess it's because word of mouth about our farm has spread, and people in the town are talking about it. I live in town, and I have relatives and friends asking me about working on the farm."
"They all say the farm is good."
Li Wu was somewhat wary of the newly opened farm.
That's normal; nobody wants competitors next to them.
Xu Ran remained calm, showing no emotional fluctuation whatsoever.
He knew that the reason he could develop the farm so quickly was entirely due to the top-quality crop seeds provided by the system.
If someone else came here to open a farm, it would be considered impressive if they could break even in five years.
"It's alright, don't worry about it. Let others do their business."
"Each family has its own business."
Xu Ran said casually.
Li Ran nodded, and then went to attend to other things.
Then, Xu Ran walked around the wheat field to the edge of the farm and looked into the distance through the fence.
Sure enough, a tractor was weeding and tilling the land.
After the land is plowed, crops can be planted in the spring.
We don't know what they'll plant then.
"It's unlikely to be the same as what I planted. There are too many shrewd people in real life."
"If someone plants whatever I plant, I should be wary of them."
"I reckon they'll be all polite and courteous with me, then try to trick me into revealing my sales channels."
"Then they'll negotiate with my business partners at an even lower price and snatch my orders."
Xu Ran stroked his chin, pondering.
His guess was pretty close to the truth.
That's really true in reality.
You can't do business without being a little shrewd!
Doing business requires scheming and intrigue.
Xu Ran was relaxed. He still adhered to the principle of not having too much interaction with the other party. If the other party was being polite, he would also exchange a few polite words and then end the conversation by going his own way.
When the crops grow out and there's a comparison, the other party will realize the difference.
This is called a unique technological barrier; having the system in hand makes it difficult for others to compete with you.
Just then, the system panel popped up again.
[Quest Start: Mutant Wild Horse!]
[Mission Description: In this post-apocalyptic world where resources are scarce, mutated wild horses are the ideal means of transportation. Please capture and tame a mutated wild horse.]
[Mission Reward: Horse Training, including master-level riding skills and the technique of taming horses.]
Upon seeing the system panel, Xu Ran raised an eyebrow.
This is a good task!
In his understanding, he would have completed his mission if he brought back a horse.
You will then be able to acquire horse taming skills.
That's really good.
When Xu Ran first inherited the farm, he thought about buying a horse to raise.
Such a large farm would be too deserted without horses.
Without hesitation, Xu Ran immediately sought out channels to buy horses and prepared to select one.
It's simple in some ways, but not in others.
In this day and age, everything good has a price tag; the days of easily finding bargains are long gone.
For example, when buying horses, there are top-class racehorses worth millions, as well as ordinary horses worth several thousand.
Xu Ran wanted to buy a pet horse; she could just go to the breeding farm and pick one out.
Xu Ran's idea was to pick a decent horse; a good horse could be bought for around 3 to 5 yuan.
If you want to participate in competitions, such as horse racing and equestrian events, it will cost at least several hundred thousand.
Xu Ran doesn't have the funds yet, and also feels it's unnecessary.
I bought it to keep as a pet, and I ride it occasionally.
He has a lot of space here, so raising horses is relatively easy, the feed isn't expensive, and they're very easy to keep alive.
Without hesitation, Xu Ran drove off to choose a horse over the next two days.
When he returned, he had already bought a thoroughbred horse that he wanted.
Worth 6 yuan, 10 months old, not yet fully mature.
He bought it at a low price because the horse market was full of horse sellers and there weren't many customers.
The cheapest foal can be bought for four thousand dollars.
The competition is too fierce.
Xu Ran is considered a big boss, and when he heard that he wanted to choose a better pet horse, several breeders invited him to come and take a look.
In the end, Xu Ran chose this black thoroughbred.
Under normal circumstances, this dark horse would be worth between 8 and 10 yuan, which is considered top-quality.
It may not be as good as a race car, but its bloodline is absolutely pure.
Moreover, this horse is indeed handsome, dashing, and has a great temperament. Just standing there, it gives people a majestic feeling.
A truck carrying black horses entered the farm.
The farm staff and animals all gathered around.
"Ran-ge, you're back? What are you doing?"
Upon seeing Xu Ran return, the employees immediately greeted him.
"I bought a pony a couple of days ago to keep as a pet."
"I'll prepare a stable for it in a bit."
"Aren't there any empty houses in the breeding area? Let's get some hay and keep it there."
Xu Ran replied to everyone.
As they were talking, the truck driver got out, opened the iron cage at the back, and led the pony down.
The black pony made its first appearance.
The employees immediately turned their attention to the dark horse.
This horse is exceptionally handsome.
Its entire body is black, but its four hooves are snow-white, a classic example of a black cloud treading on snow.
Its body is streamlined, outlining the contours of its muscles. Its neck is held high, and its mane dances in the wind, revealing its wildness and pride.
Black Horse got out of the car and started looking around the farm.
Xu Ran stood in front of it, holding its reins and stroking its head.
This black horse is not yet an adult, but it is already quite tall.
He looked radiant.
Border Collies, wild boars, and cattle watched curiously from the sidelines.
The wild boar and the yellow cattle were relatively calm, but Little Gray was good-natured and immediately wagged its tail and came over, wanting to play with the black horse.
But the dark horse didn't pay much attention to Xiao Hui.
Instead, it turned its head and saw the little tabby cat on the wall, and stared at the little tabby cat intently for a few seconds.
She seems to really like cats.
"That horse is so beautiful!"
"Ran-ge's pet choices are all extraordinary!"
"That's so cool! It must have cost a lot of money!"
The young men watched with admiration, their eyes filled with envy.
Zhang Wen was also there. He was more senior and offered a suggestion: "Let's clean out that empty room. The boss said he's turning it into a stable."
Upon hearing this, everyone realized what was going on.
"Let's go, let's go, I almost forgot!"
"Just use a hose to rinse it clean, then sweep it up!"
"I'll go connect the water pipe!"
Everyone knows which empty room Xu Ran was referring to.
Moreover, they are very familiar with the work.
For rooms like this that haven't been cleaned for a long time, rinsing them with water is the most efficient way to clean them.
Xu Ran saw that they had all gone to work, so she didn't make any further arrangements.
He took the little black horse for a walk on the farm, letting it get familiar with the place.
This guy is new to the environment and needs time to adjust.
However, for horses, the environment on a farm is much better than that on a ranch, and the air is much fresher.
The dark horse was clearly quite excited.
Xu Ran led it for a while, then untied the reins and let it run on its own.
The horses raised in captivity are also very obedient and friendly to people, so you don't have to worry about them running away.
Xu Ran was watching from the side.
Seeing the horses galloping freely and unrestrained evokes a sense of freedom and ease.
Xu Ran couldn't help but laugh with relief.
I really need to raise more animals.
Different animals bring different emotional values.
It feels so good.
