Inheriting a dilapidated ranch in North America, he became a billionaire through animal taming and t

There was a full three seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a burst of ecstatic joy.

"25 heads!"

"Su Chen, you really did it!"

"I'll come to the ranch tomorrow and try this newly processed beef!"

"Okay, I'll have the kitchen prepare it tomorrow at noon."

After hanging up the phone, Su Chen turned around and gave instructions to Juan and Louis.

The 15 newly transformed premium cattle were moved to a dedicated barn and kept with the original 10.

The livestock shed has already been expanded and can now accommodate 30 cattle.

The constant temperature and humidity system and the automatic feeding and drinking equipment have all been tested and debugged.

Juan and Luis drove the cattle, fifteen steaks lined up, into their new home.

Black Fang led the wolf pack to escort them, while Ling Feng watched from the sky; the entire transfer was carried out in an orderly manner.

Su Chen stood at the entrance of the livestock shed, watching 25 top-quality cattle grazing leisurely in the spacious cowshed, and felt much more at ease.

[System notification: Expansion of premium cattle herd complete!]

[Reward: 8000 points]

[Premium Forage Seeds x 10 bags]

[Main Quest Progress Update]

[Premium Cattle Herd: 25/50 head]

[High-quality calves: 18/30]

Su Chen casually opened the system shop.

I used the points I just received to redeem a batch of top-quality forage seeds and nutritional supplements for cattle.

The seeds will be planted tomorrow, and we can harvest them in two months.

At that time, the quality of the forage can be improved to another level.

......

John arrived at noon the next day.

He drove a brand new pickup truck, followed by a refrigerated transport vehicle.

John rushed over as soon as he got out of the car and grabbed Su Chen's hand.

"Su Chen!"

"Those 25 top-quality cattle, you've really been a huge help!"

"My high-end clients are nagging me every day; I'm getting annoyed to death."

"Don't get excited yet, try the beef first."

Su Chen had the kitchen prepare some newly transformed premium beef, which he simply pan-fried and sprinkled with just a little salt and black pepper.

John cut off a piece, put it in his mouth, chewed it a couple of times, and his eyes lit up instantly.

"The texture... is even better than last time!"

He finished the whole steak in a few bites and wiped his mouth.

"Su Chen, I'll take this batch of beef. The price is still $500 per pound."

"But I have a request: could you prioritize supplying me with the finest beef in the future?"

"Yes, but there are conditions."

"you say."

"Sign a long-term acquisition agreement, with the price depending on the market, but you have to guarantee my profit margin."

John didn't even think about it.

"make a deal!"

The two finalized a long-term acquisition agreement on the spot.

Su Chen had Emma file the agreement and then arranged for Juan and Luis to prepare the beef cutting and packaging.

Delivery is scheduled for tomorrow morning; all 25 cattle will be transported to John's slaughterhouse.

In the afternoon, Su Chen arranged for workers to conduct batch-by-batch quarantine on the 25 top-quality cattle.

We monitor the entire process to ensure that every cow is healthy and free from disease.

After the quarantine report is issued, I will sign and confirm it in triplicate: one copy for Su Chen, one copy for John, and one copy for the archives.

Su Chen spent another 2000 points to redeem a "Beef Preservation Card" from the system.

[Beef preservation card has been used]

Premium beef's shelf life extended by 50%

100% quality stability upon delivery

Su Chen was relieved.

The 2000 points were well spent.

At least the quality of the beef will not deteriorate during transportation.

In the evening, Su Chen stood in front of the livestock shed, looking at the 25 top-quality cattle.

The setting sun shone on the cattle, making their fur gleam with a golden sheen.

They grazed quietly, occasionally glancing up at him with gentle eyes.

The data on the system panel is very stable.

Overview of the cattle herd at Sunset Ranch

[Top-quality cattle herd: 25 head]

[18 high-quality calves]

[High-quality beef cattle: 150 head]

[Regular beef cattle: 200 head]

Total: 393

Su Chen patted the door frame of the livestock shed and turned to walk towards the main house.

After the delivery is completed tomorrow, the account will have an additional $1700 million.

This money is enough for him to launch the next phase of his expansion plan.

On the third day after the delivery was completed, Su Chen gave a comprehensive summary of the recent cattle breeding work in his study.

Emma compiled all the breeding data into a detailed report, a thick stack of which was placed on her desk.

Su Chen opened the report and read it page by page.

Current total: 25

Average marble pattern score: 8.6

Meat quality: Premium (stable)

Achievements in Disease Prevention and Control

Vaccination rate: 100%

Overall size of the cattle herd

Premium cattle herd: 25 head

18 purebred calves

High-quality beef cattle: 150 head

200 head of ordinary beef cattle

Total: 393 heads

After reading the report, Su Chen wrote down a few questions in his notebook.

The phased breeding program for high-quality calves can be optimized, with the second phase lasting an extra week to allow for more complete fat deposition.

Quality control of premium beef cattle needs to be strengthened, with a comprehensive test conducted monthly to ensure consistent quality.

Disease prevention and control cannot be relaxed; a comprehensive disinfection should be carried out once a month, and vaccinations should be administered once a quarter.

He wrote down the improvement plan and then sent a message to Robert, the breeding expert.

"Experts, the breed purity of these high-quality calves has reached 90%. What's the next step?"

Robert replied instantly.

"90%?!"

"Mr. Su, this data is already close to the standard of top-grade breeding cattle."

"The next step could be to consider breed purification and breeding, using these calves as the core population to cultivate your own exclusive breed."

"How do I operate it?" Su Chen asked.

"I'll come over in person next week to develop a detailed purification and breeding plan for you."

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

Su Chen turned off his phone and continued writing his plan.

The goal for the next stage.

Within three months, the herd of premium cattle expanded to 50 head.

The number of high-quality calves has been increased to 30.

The herd of high-quality beef cattle has expanded to 200 head.

The average number of beef cattle is maintained at around 200 head, serving as the basic production capacity.

The total herd size has exceeded 500 head.

He wrote and drew on the paper, and the more he wrote, the more comfortable he became with it.

At 2 PM, Su Chen called a meeting with everyone.

Su Chen stood in front of the whiteboard.

"Thank you all for your hard work during this time."

"We have achieved some initial success in cattle breeding, but we cannot let our guard down."

"We have several new goals for the next three months."

He wrote it on the whiteboard.

The herd of premium cattle has expanded to 50 head.

The number of high-quality calves has been increased to 30.

The quality of all cattle herds will be raised to a new level.

Improve the disease prevention and control system, conduct comprehensive disinfection once a month, and administer vaccinations once a quarter.

Juan raised his hand.

"The herd of top-quality cattle has been expanded to 50 head, and we need to select another 35 candidate cattle."

Are the current high-quality beef cattle herds sufficient?

Su Chen flipped through the data.

"Among the high-quality beef cattle herd, there are 50 head of relatively good quality cattle that can be converted in batches."

"Each batch consists of 15 to 20 heads, and the process is completed in two to three batches."

Emma took notes in her notebook.

"Is there enough feed?"

"The deal has been finalized with Luke; he'll receive concentrated feed and mineral supplements once a week."

"We grow our own premium forage, and it will be ready for harvest in two months."

"What about the funds?" Emma asked again.

"The feed cost for top-quality cattle is 40% higher than that for ordinary cattle."

Su Chen smiled.

"The 25 top-quality cattle delivered yesterday cost a total of US$1670 million."

"After deducting costs, the net profit is 1500 million."

Funding is not a problem.

There was a moment of silence in the conference room, followed by a low gasp.

$1500 million was an astronomical figure for everyone present.

Old Jack's eyes widened.

"Mr. Su, you...you mean, you made 1500 million just from this batch of cattle?"

"right."

Tom swallowed hard.

"Oh My God..."

Su Chen waved his hand.

"This is just the beginning."

"Once the herd of top-quality cattle expands to 50 head, the annual output can be stabilized at over 100 head, with an annual income of at least $5000 million."

Another silence fell over the conference room.

Juan and Luis exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.

Su Chen smiled as he looked at their expressions.

"Therefore, the work that follows is very important."

"Keep up the good work, everyone! We'll give you big bonuses at the end of the year!"

"good!"

After the meeting, Su Chen went to visit the various livestock sheds.

Twenty-five head of top-quality cattle were quietly ruminating in the barn.

The purebred calves frolicked in their enclosure, chasing each other around.

High-quality beef cattle and ordinary beef cattle graze leisurely on the pasture.

Black Fang was patrolling the fence with his pack of wolves when he saw Su Chen coming over and rubbed his hand against his.

Ling Feng descended from the sky, landed on Su Chen's shoulder, and preened its feathers with its beak.

Su Chen patted Hei Feng's head and then patted Ling Feng's wings.

Everything is proceeding according to plan.

He stood on the grassland, looking at the distant mountains, silently planning his next move.

Once the herd of premium cattle has expanded to 50 head, it's time to start considering expanding into the high-end market.

Michelin-starred restaurants, high-end grocery stores, personalized catering...

These are all potential customers.

There's also the issue of copper mining; the veins we detected last time haven't been developed yet.

There's also brown bear summoning privileges; once unlocked, you can tame brown bears, making mining much easier.

Su Chen took a deep breath and turned to walk towards the main house.

The road ahead is long, but every step is taken steadily.

As the sun sets, the meadows of Sunset Ranch are bathed in a golden glow.

Cattle graze on the slope, wolves patrol the fence, and eagles circle in the sky.

This once dilapidated ranch is gradually transforming into the place he envisioned.

......

Su Chen was awakened by a system notification sound.

Before dawn, the morning in Montana was bitterly cold.

He reached out from under the covers for his phone and squinted at the system panel.

[The Earth Treasure Hunt is continuously scanning... A stable ore vein signal has been detected 450 meters to the northwest. The host is advised to explore as soon as possible.]
