At present, domestic milk powder, especially infant milk powder, costs about one hundred yuan per can, which is far from the point where it is like later generations, which can cost two or three hundred yuan per can.

Moreover, because there has not been a corresponding scandal in the domestic milk powder industry, the domestic infant milk powder market is mainly occupied by several major domestic dairy giants.

Foreign goat milk powder has not invaded the domestic market on a large scale, and even the domestic market sells infant milk powder as it is not as exaggerated as in later generations. It is just about a few dozen yuan more expensive than domestic milk powder.

After accounting for the cost of these milk powders, it is about one-tenth of their market retail price, even in later generations.

The raw materials needed to produce milk powder are often the most essential part of milk, and the remaining part will produce daily fresh milk. The key to expanding the milk powder industry is that you must have a stable and reliable milk source.

Uncle Andy's suggestion is indeed worth considering. Considering the current domestic living environment and milk production of dairy cows, it is indeed not as cost-effective as buying a ranch abroad.

Although it seems that the cost of raising dairy cows in China is cheaper than raising dairy cows abroad, after all, where is the price of manual labor? If we consider the large-scale use of automated machinery, scientific cattle raising, increase yield and other factors, raising dairy cows in China is not cheaper than raising dairy cows abroad.

This is also the main reason why the cost price of a ton of milk powder in China will be 30,000 yuan in ten years later, and the landed price of milk powder imported from New Zealand and freight will only be around 24,000 yuan.

Our backwardness in the production method and high-tech cattle breeding has led to a backwardness in the production and quality of milk powder in my country.

Later Li Yifan once saw a program on TV that specifically explains the milk powder industry, so he has such an understanding of this industry.

In the past, he just thought about introducing dairy cows from Canada to return to China for feeding and then producing milk powder. However, after stopping Uncle Andy's suggestion, he thought this proposal was very good.

Both uncle and nephew were intrigued, so they took the selected materials and studied them again. This research took thirty hours.

Finally, they identified the most suitable ranch, which is a ranch called Red Deer River in western Alberta.

This ranch is located in the prairie area with a fertile ground. The ranch covers an area of ​​about 50,000 acres. There are now about 10,000 cows in the ranch. Originally, the ranch produced beef cattle, but later, because it signed a intention to supply milk with a Canadian dairy company, it began to produce dairy products.

The rancher had just introduced a large number of dairy cows, which cost a lot, and he also purchased a milk powder production line with an annual output of about 100,000 tons. He originally planned to make great efforts to convert fresh milk and milk powder.

But I didn't expect that the money had just been spent, but it happened to catch up with the financial crisis.

The dairy company that signed an agreement with them went bankrupt directly, and they didn't even have a place to claim compensation. Although the cows bought from bank loans now produce a lot of milk, the domestic market is now fierce, and they have no chance to compete with other dairy giants.

The money loaned from the bank will generate huge interest every day, and soon the farmer can't hold on. Recently, he is planning to take over the ranch in his hand.

Unfortunately, the economic environment in North America is not very good now, especially in the animal husbandry industry, a large amount of cash has poured into the Nasdaq stock market, squeezing crazy bubbles in the Nasdaq stock market, but not many people are willing to come to them to buy ranches.

And there is another big reason why their ranch is so difficult to buy, that is, the geographical location of their ranch.

Only about half of their pastures are located in the prairie area, but half of them belong to mountain and woodland, which are not suitable for free-range dairy cows.

If the ranch was mainly willing to sell his ranch at a low price, there would probably be someone who would take over, but the old man killed the price, which would be less than 100 million US dollars. This also discouraged many potential buyers who were interested in buying this ranch.

The world is not good in the past. You buy this ranch so expensive. Besides, now in Alberta, there are more ranchs with better conditions than you. Why do you buy this expensive?

To be honest, if you buy such a large ranch of $100 million, it would definitely not be expensive if you put it in the United States, and it can even be said to be very cheap. But after all, it is the United States. In Canada, the price is definitely not cheap.

What's more, this is a land that is located in mountains and woods!

Others don’t like this ranch, but Li Yifan likes it because Uncle Andy helped him screen it and told him that this might be the most suitable ranch for him.

The reason is also very simple, because of racial discrimination everywhere!

Although Canada claims to be one of the most inclusive countries in the world, it actually has more or less unspoken rules in many other places except in Vancouver, British Columbia, where the Chinese population is the majority.

In the pasture information that Uncle Andy gave to Li Yifan, there are actually all ranches with better conditions than this Red Deer River ranch, and the price is not much more expensive than the Red Deer River ranch.

But if Li Yifan really finds these ranches and talks with others, the final result will probably be unsatisfactory. Even if the ranchers are willing to sell them to him, the state and local governments will add a lot of rules and regulations to him at that time.

On the contrary, if he was willing to buy this Red Deer River Ranch, not many people would compete with him. After all, the conditions are not very good and the price is not cheap.

It seems that if Li Yifan bought this ranch, he might suffer a lot, but if we consider the long-term and consider the future demand for foreign milk powder in China, then buying this ranch now will definitely take a big advantage.

Don't say anything. Since she had made up her mind, her uncle and nephew decided to go over and inspect it tomorrow. That night, Uncle Andy called her secretary and asked her to help her take the flight ticket to Calgary.

Calgary is located in southwestern Alberta and British Columbia, just separated by a Rocky Mountains, close to Highway 97. This will make it very convenient to transport milk powder in the future. It can be transported directly to Vancouver and then shipped to China.

The next day, my uncle and nephew arrived in Calgary. As soon as I got off the plane, I saw an old man with a white beard standing in the airport pick-up hall holding a card with the uncle's name written on it.

"Hello, is it Edmund? I'm Andy Lee."

"I'm glad to meet you, Mr. Lee, I'm Edmund, welcome to Calgary."

The old man was Edmund, the owner of the Red Deer River Ranch. Several people exchanged a few simple greetings in the airport hall, then left the airport, got into Edmund's car, and drove straight to the Red Deer River Ranch.

This Edmund's Red Deer River Ranch has never been sold. It is a kind of ranch that is not easy to buy in Alberta, but the old man doesn't want to cut the price. However, I heard that there are many rich people in Vancouver, especially those newly immigrant Chinese, who are very rich.

So the old man found Andy law firm, which is more famous in the Vancouver area, and wanted to see if they could help find a richer buyer.

Unexpectedly, Andy actually found him, but looking at the young and inconspicuous boy sitting on the back sofa introduced by Andy, Edmond felt a little unsure.

However, the reputation of Andy Law Firm was not for nothing, not to mention that the big boss of Andy Law Firm came in person this time, so Edmund could only choose to believe that the boy behind him was the buyer of this transaction.

The old man drove a shabby Toyota pickup truck that he had been around since the age of time. Although it was well maintained, it can be seen from this that the old man's economic situation is not very good at present.

Along the way, the old man kept introducing the situation of his ranch to them. Not far from Calgary, he drove about fifty or sixty kilometers, and after crossing a big river, he came to the old man's ranch.

Looking at the endless grassland and the cows on the grassland that were slapped in groups of three or three to two, Li Yifan was excited. This pasture was really beautiful.

The Red Deer River Ranch is located at the foot of the Rocky Mountains. The ranch is connected to the ranch with an altitude of about 1,000 meters. The forests on the mountains belong to the Red Deer River Ranch.

There are also several rivers that melted from the snow on the mountain and flow down the mountain, forming a large lake in the center of the Honglu River Ranch. The whole ranch looks very neat and beautiful, exactly the same as the American ranch I saw in the movies in the past. Li Yifan could see at a glance that there are many places here, which are exactly the same as the scenery in the movie "Back to the Mountain" filmed by the famous director of Baodao later.

Because the ranch has begun to raise dairy cows mainly, there are not many beef cattle on the ground. In the pasture, there are two or three hundred heads on the grass near Edmund's house.
