730 A big deal

On this day, Xiao Feng finally arrived at the island ranch known as the largest bronze country, Resco Island.

This island is located south of the city of Punta Arenas, the southernmost part of the Copper Kingdom, near the Strait of Magellan. It has been engaged in island breeding industry before.

But in recent decades, because young people have left one after another, the environment on the island has been much worse than before.

Punta Arenas is already the southernmost city in the Copper Kingdom. Walking south is not far south, crossing the Strait of Magellan to the Antarctic.

The natural scenery here is very good, but the environment is not very good. It is cold all year round, and life on the island is very boring, so few young people are willing to live on the island.

Most young people choose to live in mainland China or in more prosperous cities.

This made this originally very prosperous island ranch gradually abandoned.

Xiao Feng brought Jesse to the island. In fact, while he was here to buy this island, he also came here for a vacation.

The scenery of Patagonia, which belongs to the Copper Country, is still very beautiful. Recently, Jesse has been working hard since she got pregnant. She is also very tired and her mood is a little ups and downs. Xiao Feng took advantage of the opportunity to buy the ranch and took her here for a vacation.

It is actually only a ten-minute journey from Punta Arenas to Resco Island.

The island is very large and the terrain is very flat. In the early years, when the Portuguese and Spaniards set off the age of great sailing and controlled the Strait of Magellan, every time they passed by this island, they would throw some cattle and sheep on the island.

Because there are no natural enemies, the island soon became herds of cattle and sheep. Every time the Spanish fleet passed by, they would hunt some cattle and sheep on the island for supply.

This habit lasted for hundreds of years, and it was not until the British and Dutch controlled the place later.

Later, when the Tong Kingdom succeeded in independence, it became a private ranch. At that time, several families on the island were engaged in the animal husbandry industry here.

At its peak, there were more than 3,000 people living on the island, with more than 100,000 cattle and sheep.

But now, young people no longer like this place. Without the Internet, they can only engage in a boring life like animal husbandry.

So more people choose to leave here, and now there are dozens of elderly, weak and sick people living on the island.

Most of the pastures were abandoned and no cattle were raised. They only raised more than a hundred sheep and hundreds of turkeys.

The only remaining family on the island is the Ricardo family, but only the old lady in the family, her sons and nephews of seventy and eighty years old. The grades of these people are over a thousand years old.

Ever since they learned that there was a Western Pacific Investment Group that recently acquired island ranches in Tongguo and started breeding, they have contacted them through various channels.

Finally, Xiao Feng was contacted through the Weng family in Aisen District, which led to this acquisition journey.

After Xiao Feng landed on the island, he took Jesse to see the environment on the island first. To be honest, the environment on the island is very good.

After all, he was run by Ricardo and several of their relatives and families for nearly a hundred years in his early years.

The land has basically been flat, and most of the land is planted with alfalfa and various plants suitable for cattle and sheep.

There is also electricity and houses on the island, but the houses are relatively old.

The youngest on the island is one of the grandsons of Grandma Ricardo, Domingos who is in his forties.

Seeing Xiao Feng and the others arrive, Domingos was very enthusiastic and took Xiao Feng and the others to visit the family museum.

It is called a museum, but it is actually a small house that introduces the historical development and changes of the island. It stores tools used by farmers on the island in various eras.

Then Domingos also showed Xiao Feng and others how to shear the wool, first push the sheep they raised, pour the sheep into the river, press the sheep's head with a special wooden pole, and let the sheep swim in the ditches they dug.

This process can just wash away the dust and debris on the sheep's body, then drive the sheep ashore, get stuck in a wooden trough, and then start shearing the wool.

This is the first time Xiao Feng has seen cowboys shearing wools. Jesse has seen them many times before. Although his technique is similar to that of cowboys in North America, the final result is similar.

But Domingos is old after all. According to him, if he was young, he could cut one end in three or five minutes, but now it will take at least twenty minutes.

"Mr. Xiao, look at the situation on our island, which is probably the case. If you carry out regular and large-scale breeding, the island can raise up to 80,000 cattle and 20,000 sheep, and by the way, you can also raise more than 100,000 turkeys. This is our previous experience..."

After a series of visits, Domingos greeted a few helpers and roasted a whole sheep for Xiao Feng and the others.

Then, while having a big meal and tasting good wine, he recommended this Reisco Island to Xiao Feng and the others.

Xiao Feng was really excited about this island, with 80,000 cows, 20,000 sheep, and 100,000 turkeys, wow!

This is really incomparable to the island ranch he currently possesses. No wonder this island is known as the world's largest island ranch!

"I am also old, and the elders in the family are all older, so it is not appropriate to stay on the island anymore. I want to take them to the land for retirement..."

Domingos is also a favourite and has not concealed his current embarrassing situation.

First of all, the output on the island every year makes them unable to make much money, and the annual taxes and fees, and various expenses are not expensive, so it is not profitable for them to operate this ranch.

The most important thing is that they are old and this island is not suitable for them to support their elderly care. Most of their children make a living on land, and they are doing well.

They all want to join their children!

In the end, Xiao Feng didn't say anything nonsense and took down the island directly. The price was not expensive, only a few million US dollars, which is no longer a small amount in the Copper Kingdom.

But for Xiao Feng, it was just a drop in the bucket he seized from the Li family.

"I really didn't expect it! The Copper Country is actually the largest chicken exporter in the world!"

Before inspecting the livestock industry of Tongguo, Xiao Feng always thought that Tongguo mainly exported beef and salmon.

But after investigation, he realized that the Tong Kingdom was not a big cattle breeder before, but only after signing a free trade agreement with China, it began to raise cattle on a large scale.

In the past, their agriculture was also very developed, but at that time, the species they exported mainly like the world was turkey!

Since the 1960s and 1970s, the Copper Kingdom has been a major turkey exporter in the world, and can export hundreds of millions of dollars every year.

Turkey is particularly popular in Europe and the United States, especially in the United States.

The United States is also the world's largest turkey breeding and consumer country. Even the United States does not have enough consumption for itself. It also imports a large amount of turkey from other countries every year, including the Copper Country.

However, in China, this creature was sentenced to death because many Chinese people think that turkey is not delicious.

The reason for this is that Xiao Feng believes that first of all, domestic people do not have the habit of eating turkey, and secondly, they have not studied the way to eat turkey, so the way to eat is very single, so they have such a stereotyped impression.

At least Xiao Feng has enjoyed many turkey meals in Tongguo, and according to the cooking model of Tongguo people, this turkey is quite delicious.

In Xiao Feng's opinion, turkey is actually a very good breeding variety, especially for fast food restaurants like him!

Recently, he was looking at the Western Pacific investment team and the investigation report on investing in turkey farming, which shocked him.

The input-to-output ratio of raising a cattle is less than one to one, while the input-to-output ratio of raising a turkey can reach about one to five.

The main advantages of raising turkeys are that the breeding cycle is short and the turkeys have strong disease resistance. From the time they are out of the shell to adulthood, it only takes a few months. Each chicken weighs more than ten kilograms after adulthood.

Feathers can be used as craft decorations, or chopped and sold to down purchase companies.

After removing bones, each chicken can have more than ten kilograms of pure meat. In terms of net profit, it is much stronger than the fast-growing chicken waist in China for the forty-day domestic market!

The most important thing is that turkey also has the characteristics of high protein, low fat and low cholesterol, and is a rare and high-quality ingredient.

From this point of view, this turkey breeding is definitely an industry with great potential!

However, according to the cooking habits of China, the turkey is not delicious, so it has never become popular in China.

In the Copper Country, in addition to roasting turkey, locals also tend to chop turkey into fillings and make chicken steaks similar to steak to fry and grill.

There are many cooking methods, and after Xiao Feng has eaten it a few times, it is really good.

So he wanted to bring this thing back to China!

He also referred to the price of domestic turkey meat. To be honest, it is really expensive. A turkey leg on the Internet costs 100 yuan.

The reason why it is so expensive is that it is because there are too few breeding in China and most turkeys are imported.

These middlemen only want to make money and do not want to promote it on a large scale, which will lead to such a situation.

And if he gets the turkey back, the sales will be no problem at all.

For example, the chicken rice, chicken chop rice produced by their famous chefs, and even some meat patties and sausages they produce specialize in Western fast food.

Chinese people don’t like turkey? Haha! That’s just because you eat it wrong!

He doesn't believe that there are their famous chefs who make seasoned turkey, and consumers will not like it.

If it really doesn't work, he can also make turkey into various fillings and make it into frozen foods. He doesn't believe it and can't promote it.

This thing is not expensive in Europe and the United States, and it is just an ordinary mass-produced food. Xiao Feng couldn't understand why it became a high-end food when it arrived in China?

The purpose of his investment in South America this time is to reduce the prices of many high-end ingredients in China!

Such as salmon, beef, and various sea fish.
