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

Su Chen calculated the costs.

"Total budget?"

"Between 30,000 and 40,000."

"The main cost is for the pipes and water storage tanks; the grass seeds and amendments don't cost much."

Su Chen signed and approved it.

Mike's construction team arrived that afternoon.

Pipeline excavation, reservoir construction, and grass seeding are all being carried out simultaneously.

Dazhuang was transferred here to help move the pipes.

Black Fang led his wolf pack on patrol of the new land parcel's boundary.

Lingfeng is high in the sky, monitoring the entire construction area.

Old Tom keeps a close eye on things every day to ensure that every step of the process meets the standards.

Su Chen didn't go to the construction site every day.

He trusted old Tom, and he also trusted Mike's construction team.

He went to see it twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening.

Check the progress in the morning and inspect the quality in the evening.

On the tenth day, the extension project of the Lingquan irrigation system was completed.

Su Chen stood in the middle of the new plot of land.

Watching the nozzles rotate and spray water mist evenly onto the newly sown grass seeds.

The mist refracted a faint rainbow in the sunlight.

In the distance are rolling grasslands and mountains.

Old Tom stood beside him, a rare smile on his face.

"In another two months, we can graze cattle on this land."

Su Chen nodded.

The improvement of the new site is only the first step.

More importantly, the overall order of Whitefish Town has completely changed.

After Roy went to prison, all the land leases under his control were voided.

The leases of several shops in the town have been reshuffled.

The landlord has changed to a more local property owner.

Leah's supermarket has a new lease.

The rent is now 10% cheaper than before.

Gas stations, agricultural supply stores, restaurants, and supermarkets.

All the merchants who had been forced by Bert to remove beef from their shelves have resumed cooperation.

Luke not only restored the supply.

They even proactively reduced the price of feed by 10% as an apology.

John's butcher shop became the liveliest place in Whitefish Town.

Every morning when the doors open, a long queue forms at the entrance.

The beef from Sunset Cow is in high demand and short supply.

John had to limit the sales.

Each person is limited to two pounds per day.

John called Su Chen.

"Su, we don't have enough meat to sell. You need to find a way to get more pigs slaughtered."

Su Chen thought for a moment.

"Our production capacity has reached its limit; any more production would affect the quality."

John sighed.

"Alright, then we'll sell in limited quantities, but the price can't be lowered."

Su Chen hung up the phone and looked at Emma.

"John can handle the sales situation."

"Supermarkets and restaurants have also reopened; there are no issues with distribution channels."

Emma opened the ledger.

"This month's revenue is up 40 percent compared to last month."

"It's mainly John's store that's contributing; supermarkets and restaurants haven't fully recovered yet, but the trend is good."

Su Chen nodded.

"No rush. Take your time."

The ranch alliance in Whitefish Town has also become active again.

Previously, due to pressure from Hawkins, league activities were basically suspended.

Now that the threat is gone, the alliance members have reunited to discuss their next steps.

Anderson offered to donate a portion of his own pasture.

It is incorporated into the rotational grazing system of Sunset Ranch.

It's not cooperation, it's merger.

Anderson's pastures are managed by Su Chen.

Profits are divided proportionally.

Su Chen considered it for a moment and then agreed.

It wasn't because he needed that little bit of pasture.

It's not because he needs someone like Anderson.

In Whitefish Town, allies are more important than land.

Sheriff Cole designated Sunset Ranch as a key protected site in the town.

It's not just in name, it's in fact.

Two patrol cars patrol the area around the ranch every day, without interruption at night.

The ranch's security system is connected to the police station.

If anything unusual happens, Cole will receive an alert immediately.

Mayor George hung a sign at the entrance of the town hall.

"Baiyu Town High-Quality Livestock Demonstration Zone".

Sunset Ranch is listed first.

Su Chen was invited to the town government's conference room to attend a public meeting.

At the meeting, George officially announced:

Whitefish Town will be centered around Sunset Ranch.

To create a high-end ranching town in western Montana.

Su Chen didn't say much.

He doesn't need to say anything.

Everyone was watching him; everyone was waiting for him to nod.

Su Chen nodded.

It wasn't because he wanted to be the core of some demonstration zone, but because it would benefit him.

The more stable Whitefish Town is, the safer his ranch will be.

The more money the small town's merchants make, the less they have to worry about selling their beef.

This is a business deal.

Su Chen never refuses business.

Back at the ranch, Su Chen sorted out everything.

The rancher's house, livestock sheds, spiritual spring, and treasure chamber were all intact.

Merchants in Baiyu Town have fully resumed cooperation, and channels are open and unobstructed.

Agricultural supplies are stable, oilseeds are plentiful, and feed stocks are full.

The police station provides 24/7 protection, and the town government offers full support.

John became the head of meat processing and offline sales.

They have full authority over slaughtering, processing, and sales.

The veterinarian is stationed at the ranch and is responsible for the health of the cattle, disease prevention and control, and quality certification.

Emma is responsible for finance, appointments, records, qualifications, and the entire process management.

Sunset Divine Beef continues to reach the top in quality, and the golden brand of Baiyu Town shines ever brighter.

Breeding, slaughtering, processing, cold chain logistics, and sales are all carried out in a completely closed loop within Sunset Ranch.

Su Chen stood at the entrance of the main house, looking in the direction of the new plot of land in the distance.

The nozzles were still spinning, and the water mist was colorful in the sunset.

Emma came out of the house, holding an account book in her hand.

"The reports for this month are out."

"Revenue increased by 40 percent, and profits increased by 35 percent."

"The main reason is that channel costs have decreased, and John doesn't charge sales commissions."

Su Chen took the ledger and flipped through it.

He closed the ledger, stood up, and looked at the distant mountains.

......

Su Chen had just arrived at the cowshed in the morning when the phone rang.

It was Mayor George calling.

"Mr. Su, the town's animal protection association is coming to your ranch today to check on the situation of your wolf breeding."

Su Chen asked, "When will you arrive?"

"Around ten o'clock, the person leading the team was Lia Chen, the association's head."

"He's of mixed Chinese and American heritage and very meticulous. You should prepare accordingly."

Su Chen hung up the phone.

He was surprised to find that the head of this association was also named Leah.

But that's quite normal.

Every country often has classic names.

It's only natural to have the same name as someone else.

For example, Jiahao and Zhang Wei.

For example, Jack and Jason.

He went to find Emma.

"The animal protection association is coming to verify the legality of wolves being domesticated."

Emma immediately put down what she was doing.

What do I need to prepare?

"The wolf pack's health certificates, security plans, isolation measures, and all records have been compiled."

Emma went to the study to look through the files, while Su Chen went to find the veterinary book.

Ben was vaccinating a calf when he heard the association was coming, so he put down the syringe.

"I'll go with you and show them the health certificate."

At 10 a.m., a white SUV stopped at the entrance of the ranch.

Three people came down, two women and one man, led by a young woman.

He is of mixed Chinese and American descent, with very defined facial features.

He was wearing a dark blue coat and holding a folder.

"Mr. Su, I am Leah Chen, the head of the Whitefish Town Animal Protection Association."

She reached out her hand.

"We're here today to check on your ranch's wolves. We hope you'll cooperate."

Su Chen shook hands.

"No problem, please come in."
