Chapter 927: The Whole Audience Is Upset

Entering the venue, Jiang Hai saw a huge oval round table. There were many boss chairs beside the table. There was another chair behind each chair, and a name tag was placed on the table in front.

The meaning is very clear. The person invited can sit in the front, but the person who follows can only sit in the back.

As soon as he walked in, Jiang Hai saw Luke Sean and John Malone, but the old Malone was sitting in the first position on the left. The largest landowner in the United States was no joke, and Luke - Sean was sitting in the fifth position on the right side, watching Jiang Hai coming over. They all nodded to Jiang Hai as a greeting.

Jiang Hai also smiled and nodded, then found his position. However, looking at this position, Jiang Hai couldn't help curling his lips. The position was really far back, the second to last position on the left hand side. You know, in total, The total number of people who came here for the meeting was more than twenty. Jiang Hai was quite far away.

Although he didn't know much about these things, he also knew that the further away from the top position he sat during meetings, the smaller the official was.

Although Jiang Hai is not an official, this also means that his status in the hearts of these officials is smaller.

But the discomfort only lasted for a moment, because he originally wanted to come over for paddling, so he didn't care.

When he got here, Jiang Hai sat down directly, while Moses Adams sat on the chair behind him. At the same time, he took out an assembled laptop and prepared to record the content of today's meeting. This was also what other followers were doing. matter.

"Hello, Jiang Hai?" As Jiang Hai sat down, people arrived one after another. Soon, people were sitting next to Jiang Hai, on his left, which was the third seat from the bottom. Sitting there was a proud-looking bald man. He just glanced at Jiang Hai and then stopped talking. This guy who looked like Professor Side, the last person sitting there, is a white man about thirty years old. It is not easy to get into this position at the age of thirty. Jiang Hai has a golden finger. , he cannot be counted.

After sitting down, the man glanced at Jiang Hai, then asked Jiang Hai with a bright smile.

"Oh, hello, uh, Mr. Boggs." Hearing this person's question, Jiang Hai replied, but he didn't know who this person was. After glancing at this person's name tag, Jiang Hai knew that he His name is Terry Boggs. I don’t know what he does specifically.

"Haha, it's normal if you don't know me. Let me introduce you. My name is Terry Boggs. I just enclosed a piece of land in Mexico State in July last year and started an animal husbandry business." Hearing Jiang Hai's words After hesitating for a moment, the man named Boggs also laughed, then took the initiative to stretch out his hand and introduce himself to Jiang Hai.

"Oh, Jiang Hai, I started a small manor in Winthrop." After hearing his words, Jiang Hai also shook hands with him and introduced himself. In fact, no one here knew Jiang Hai. Almost not. Everyone knows him, but very few people know about him. After all, last year's pasture incident was a big deal.

"I know you, brother, the grass you have over there, tsk tsk, to be honest, if it weren't for the fact that my target is only the middle and low-end market, I would definitely have participated in the last meeting where you sold grass." Listen. When they came to Jiang Hai, Terry Boggs also laughed and started talking. When he heard his intention to make friends, Jiang Hai felt bored and started chatting with him.

However, during this conversation, Jiang Hai discovered that he seemed to be the weakest among all the people present due to his pure strength.

This has nothing to do with money. People attending the livestock industry summit here only see how much land you have and how many cattle you have. It’s that simple.

Excluding the area of ​​Shanghai, Jiang Hai's land totals less than 27,000 acres, a total of 160,000 acres, or 110 square kilometers. This seems not small to Jiang Hai. In fact, Jiang Hai's land is already larger than The town of Winthrop is getting bigger.

There are 45,000 beef cattle in total, 30,000 Angus cattle, 5,000 Limousin cattle, 5,000 Charolais cattle, and 5,000 Shorthorn cattle.

But here, his number, haha... it can only be haha. The Terry Boggs next to him only has a ranch in the state of Mexico. How big is it? 72,000 acres, raising a total of 250,000 cattle. With such strength, one must sit at the back. The big bald man next to Jiang Hai has a total of 120,000 acres of land in Montana and Wyoming, raising a total of He has purchased 800,000 cattle. Only people at this level are qualified to attend such a meeting.

The United States is a country with a large livestock industry. The output value of animal husbandry accounts for 48% of all agricultural output value, which is nearly 50%. In other words, grain, vegetables, and fruits are actually equal to meat. The U.S. beef cattle industry ranks first in the world. , this is no joke.

The states with more than 1 million beef cattle in the United States account for 70% of the United States.

Among them, Texas alone had 14 million beef cattle in 2003, but it only accounted for less than 15% of the total number of beef cattle in the United States that year. Kansas and Nebraska also had 14 million beef cattle. A state with a huge population.

There are also Oklahoma, California, Missouri, South Dakota, Iowa, Wisconsin, and Colorado. These were the top ten states with the largest population at that time, but now everyone knows that Montana is the latter. Cheng exerted his strength.

Now that the United States has opened up markets in China and Asia, the number of beef cattle in the United States will never be less than 200 million.

As for China’s population, it is less than 70 million. In 2013, there were only more than 68 million. China has 1.3 billion people.

In addition, the slaughter rate of beef cattle is not as good as that of the United States, and the meat production is not as good as that of the United States. The population is still more than four times...

So it’s no wonder that domestic beef is so expensive. Production determines everything, right?

There are more than 20 million dairy cows, producing more than 150 million tons of milk. There are 300 million people in the United States, and each person has nearly 500 kilograms of milk. To drink one kilogram every day, you have to pour more than 100 kilograms. .

So it’s no wonder that prices here in the United States are so cheap that they really can’t even be consumed in their own country.

Jiang Hai could only shrug his shoulders. He looked like an out-and-out junior.

In this case, then implement your original thoughts to the end. Just staying there honestly is actually a good choice. After chatting with Terry Boggs for a while, an official staff member left. Come in.

Everyone also fell silent and looked at the official, waiting for the summit to begin.

"Ahem, hello, everyone, my name is Baroa Christian, and I am the current deputy director of the Federal Animal Husbandry Industry. You can call me Baroa. I am honored to see you here today..." Seeing everyone quiet down, The white man in front of him who looked to be in his forties began to speak seriously, but to be honest, if he were the deputy director of the national animal husbandry in China, my God, no matter how awesome the livestock farm owner is in the world, he would have to Get down on your knees and lick it, after all, this is the person who is in charge of you.

But in the eyes of the United States, especially these twenty people, officials are just like that. They are a single-minded force in the country.

In the United States, the government does not fight against power. In the eyes of wealthy people in the United States, these officials are just that!

They don't dare to cause trouble for themselves. This is the reality. There are so many parties in the United States, and this is no joke.

There are four people who are going to participate in the election, although it is basically the Republicans and Democrats fighting.

But there are hundreds of people who have votes for the Senate. These forces are intertwined. In fact, it feels a bit like the Ming Dynasty. At the end of the Ming Dynasty in China, those officials were basically from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Guangxi. Trained by businessmen.

After they became officials, they mainly wanted to seek benefits for the business class on their side. This is how the most famous Donglin Party came to be. If they had benefits, they would rush to the front. If there were no benefits, they would stay away. If the Manchus come over and change the emperor, they don't care. This is the situation in the United States now.

But what is different from the late Ming Dynasty is that the merchants in the late Ming Dynasty were all interested in things like grain, salt, and cloth.

And these businessmen in the United States have some arms or something, so they especially like to fight.

The topic is over. The main reason I want to talk about this here is to say that a deputy director would not dare to provoke people like Jiang Hai.

So although the people below listened to him, they didn't really care. There were even some people who were using their hands to send text messages.

Only those who bring everyone will carefully record his words.

The main purpose of this meeting is basically not much different from the domestic meeting. First, let’s take a look at the current stock of livestock in the United States, the situation of animal husbandry in the United States, cows, sheep, pigs, etc., and how good life is. .

Then we look forward to the future, which means that we must maintain the honor of being the world's strongest animal husbandry country.

The last and most important thing is to negotiate the price of the meat.

Speaking of meat prices, in fact, the situation in each state is different, so the prices in each state are different, just like in the country. If some places produce this thing, then this thing is cheaper, and if it does not produce this thing, then it will be cheaper. It’s more expensive to ship it from afar.

For example, the vegetables in Bingcheng are fine in summer, but very expensive in winter. Why? It’s just because we can’t grow vegetables in winter, so we can only transport them from the south. With the shipping cost included, this thing is naturally expensive, and there’s nothing good to say about it. (To be continued.)
