Since Wang Kai said so, Skye certainly wouldn't object. She happily leaned on Wang Kai's chest until Minty came to make trouble. Then she blushed and went to play with Minty.
Wang Kai changed into a cowboy suit and went out to ride a horse. This was the first time that Wang Kai seriously patrolled his ranch. When he bought it last time, he just flew around the ranch in a helicopter. After that, he never patrolled his ranch again. Today was a good opportunity to take a look.
"Boss, this Quarter Horse is the most docile one in the ranch. Boss, you don't have to worry about any problems."
The ranch manager, Buck, pulled a colorful Quarter Horse over. The Quarter Horse was the most famous horse breed in the United States. It was not only the star of the racetrack, but also the most common breed in the United States. Almost all cowboys rode Quarter Horses. Of course, Quarter Horses still needed to be carefully cultivated for racing. The cowboys only rode ordinary Quarter Horses.
"Thank you, Buck. You've managed the ranch well these past few months. I've decided to give you a raise. A 10% increase as a reward for your work."
Wang Kai said. Wang Kai had checked the ranch's account book. Of course, it was the account book that had been audited by an accounting company. It was simple and clear. Although there was not much profit, there was already income. Moreover, the herd of Wagyu was expanding. This meant that there would be a lot of money coming in in the future. This proved Buck's ability.
"Thank you, boss."
Americans would not refuse a raise. As long as their work was excellent, they would take the initiative to ask for a raise. Otherwise, they would think that the boss was ignoring the fruits of their labor. If it was light, they would go on strike. If it was heavy, they would jump ship.
Today's weather was pretty good. Wang Kai and Buck rode their horses to the area where the cattle were active. Because there was no grass in winter, they were eating dry ingredients, with only a small portion of green ingredients. In order to produce high-quality beef, Wang Kai prohibited the use of any feed. The Americans were very strict about the grading of ingredients. Wang Kai didn't want to lose the big picture for a small gain.
Looking at the black Wagyu walking leisurely, Wang Kai's saliva almost flowed out. Because of Liu Angxing's cooking skills, these Wagyu had become a delicacy in Wang Kai's eyes. However, this was not the best time for the Wagyu to be released, so Wang Kai could only endure it.
In addition to the Wagyu, Wang Kai also got some other good things in the ranch, such as the Tibetan pig. Wang Kai raised the Tibetan pig in the woods of the ranch. According to the most primitive way of raising pigs, the Tibetan pig was fed with herbs in the woods. Only in this way could it be called "ginseng pig." As a Han Chinese in Huaxia, pork was an indispensable part of their diet.
There were also a lot of chickens and ducks. They were all prepared for Wang Kai's appetite. There were also a lot of Bohr goats. Wang Kai would never forget to barbecue them.
While patrolling the ranch, Wang Kai listened to Wang Kai's report about the ranch. His understanding of the ranch was more intuitive than just looking at reports. The passing cowboys all looked curiously at their boss, who rarely showed his face, and then casually greeted him. In the eyes of the cowboys, Wang Kai was a rich kid who bought a ranch as a toy. However, Wang Kai was not a rich kid. He did not interfere much with the ranch's work. Otherwise, the ranch would definitely be ruined by a rich kid who lived in a high-class apartment and drove a luxury sports car every day.
After walking around, Wang Kai saw Skye and Minty riding out. Many cowboys surrounded Skye. They rarely met such a beauty. Although Skye was the boss's girlfriend, Westerners pursued freedom. They did not care about the difference in status. As long as she was not the boss's wife, they could steal her. If they were in a big city, perhaps people would be afraid, but cowboys were the most free and unrestrained group of people.
"Boss, let's do some exercise."
In order to show off in front of Skye, a few young cowboys wanted to provoke Wang Kai.
"Andrew, what are you doing?"
Before Wang Kai could speak, Barker was angry. These young men were really lustful. They actually dared to provoke the boss. Did they not know how difficult it was to find a job nowadays?
If you anger the boss and fire you, you can only go hungry. You don't have any skills other than being a cowboy.
"It's okay, Barker. Young people like to be together, but I don't know how to be a cowboy. It's just like you don't know how to program. Let's do something that everyone knows. For example, how about arm wrestling? It's simple and easy to understand. Everyone knows how to do it. You young men who exercise every day won't be afraid of me, a person who came from a city of concrete and steel."
Wang Kai also understood their intentions. Wang Kai was not angry. This was human nature. The law of nature. Males always used their various advantages to attract females, such as peacocks spreading their tails, and female partners always had to face the provocation of other males, such as lions. Wang Kai needed to defend his dignity as Skye's girlfriend.
"Of course, we certainly won't bully the boss. Let's arm wrestling."
The young man named Andrew immediately said. He felt that as long as the boss played with him in terms of physical strength, he would definitely win. He was afraid that the boss would play with him in terms of mental strength. He was a person who did not even go to high school.
Seeing that Wang Kai was going to arm wrestle with Andrew, the other cowboys were excited. Winter was a more leisurely season. Everyone was idle every day and wanted to have fun. Now that the fun had finally come, they immediately carried a packed haystack. This kind of one meter high porcelain haystack could be used as a table.
"Come on, boss. Do you want me to let you win?"
Andrew excitedly came to the haystack and put his arms on it. He said proudly. He also gave Skye who was standing beside Wang Kai two coquettish glances, hoping to let this beauty see his strong side. Here, they felt that the criteria for a woman to choose a partner was a strong body. They did not consider other aspects, such as personality, demeanor, and so on. Male chauvinism was also very popular in the American countryside, and domestic violence was commonplace.
"No need. Since you want to compete, let's be fair."
Wang Kai smiled. To deal with an ordinary person like you, do I need you to let me win?
"Okay, boss. Don't say that I bullied you."
Andrew felt that since Wang Kai rejected his good intentions, then don't blame him.
"Andrew, you brat, be careful. If you hurt the boss, I'll let you clean up the cowshed alone."
