Chapter 297
In fact, considering the new grape varieties that were taken out before, Li Anran chose four species as the flagship products on Yingzhou Island. As for why he did not choose more common species such as rice, wheat, and broiler, it was also a reason.
In Li Anran's opinion, more common species such as rice, flour, chicken, eggs, etc. really have a large share in the trade market. But in order to open up the situation, he needs to go to the high-end market, so he naturally cannot choose this way.
In fact, among pure-blooded horse racing, top beef cattle and cigar tobacco, the only one that can really operate on a large scale is the top beef cattle. Moreover, it is chosen to seize the market for Japanese Wagyu beef, which is known as the best beef in the world.
As for cigar tobacco, although it can be grown on a large scale, it is far less than that of top beef cattle in terms of marketing and acceptance. After all, it is clear whether the beef looks good or not, and whether the quality of the meat itself is clear at a glance.
Tobacco, even alternative cigarettes that are directly rolled with tobacco leaves, are all difficult to adjust. Not to mention seizing the Cuban cigar market, if you want to be truly accepted by consumers, you need to operate it well.
In terms of pure-blooded horse racing, it was entirely Li Anran's personal interest. He rode some good horses from that era in the Tang Dynasty. Although his speed was far less than that of the mind transmission ability and driving helicopters, he had an irreplaceable speed and passion.
The most important thing is that horse racing has formed a complete industrial chain in modern time and space. From horse cultivation, training, to participating in competitions, to gambling and selling horses, the profits it can bring are very huge.
According to Li Anran's idea, there should be no more at the beginning. You only need to cultivate one or two absolutely good horses, then participate in the competition and achieve good results. It would be too easy to make money at that time, and it would be better than selling rice.
Of course, Li Anran also knows that although the unit price of rice is far less high than that of pure-blood racing, the huge market still represents extremely high profits. The reason why I didn't choose this is only because it needs to be different.
Moreover, Li Anran did not really plan to give up rice, flour, corn, soybeans, etc. as indispensable agricultural products for the entire human survival basis. However, it was just a temporary placement, and it would not be too late to do it when the time was ripe.
Considering the breeding of Tungji beef, the scale will be greatly affected by relying on Island 2 alone. In addition, I bought a ranch with a wide area in Lewiston, Montana. If you don’t make good use of it, it would be a waste of resources.
The beef cattle raised by Li Anran is not only one breed. Instead, it uses the four best beef cattle in the world today to cross and cultivate multiple breeds. Even these four top beef cattle have been "copied".
These four beef cattle are the Japanese Kobe cattle, the Italian Chianina cattle, the commonly known as the quinine cattle, the French Charolai cattle, and the Japanese Kobe cattle, and the well-known Australian Valley Angus cattle.
It can be said that with these four beef cattle in hand, even if Li Anran does not cultivate new varieties, relying on "counterfeiting" to produce better quality pure blood beef cattle is enough to make a lot of profits in the beef market.
The reason why Li Anran decided to cultivate a new breed of beef cattle was not only because he wanted to create a completely own breed to break the monopoly, but more because he accidentally created a "auspicious" when he tried to cultivate beef cattle before.
It's a coincidence. After Huada, you got the four most extreme beef cattle in the world, Li Anran cultivated it in the time and space of the Tang Dynasty. He often uses the "side effects" of time and space travel to improve and optimize the mother and father of the beef cattle.
After these mother and fathers grow up to the stage where they can reproduce offspring, they can then perform cross-breeding methods to obtain new varieties. As a result, a very special breed, Qingniu, was created among the many hybrid mixed-blood beef cattle products.
A cow like the green cow often appears in Taoism or mythology. The most famous one should be the other under the throne of the Taishang Laojun. In Journey to the West, this person has made a lot of limelight and has become one of the few monsters who can compete with the Monkey King.
Of course, the young people raised by Li Anran naturally cannot be the kind in myths and legends. It is an ordinary meat year. The only difference between the other beef cattle is that the skin color of this cow is actually blue.
Li Anran thought about why this blue beef cattle could be crossed out, and even asked the experts. In the end, he could only find some, which may be caused by some mutation with extremely low probability, and it has nothing to do with the mythological novel.
It would be fine if this kind of green cow was just an abnormal color, after all, if it was just like this, even if it was a big gimmick, the benefits were limited. But in fact, the quality of this green cow was so good that even experts were surprised.
Whether it is the most famous Japanese Kobe, Angus, or the relatively less famous Italian Chianina, which is commonly known as Quinine, or the French Charolai cattle, they already have strict hierarchical standards.
As a representative of high-end beef, having beautiful marble patterns has become a simple identification condition. The beef obtained by this green cow after slaughtering, even if it is just the most common part, has marble patterns to a certain extent.
Don’t think this is nothing. You should know that a beef cattle weighs about half a ton to one ton. But it can be eaten as a steak, and once it is considered to be the most prestigious, there are only a few parts in common, and the so-called marble pattern is like this.
Although you will be amazed at the pattern formed by the evenly distributed fat on the other person's body when eating sirloin steak, there is no such effect on the beefs from this steak, but it is definitely a very rare existence.
But this green beef has more or less marble-patterned meat quality in the most common parts. The most important thing is that this beef is not only good-looking, but is definitely the best in terms of nutrition and taste.
What made Li Anran most happy was that he didn't know whether this mutation was caused by the "side effects" brought about by time and space travel. It was not just a flash in the pan in evolutionary history. Otherwise, Li Anran would not have been able to waste resources and kill cattle to verify it.
After initially solving the breeding problem of green cattle, Li Anran turned his attention to the feed of beef cattle. You should know that the "side effects" of time-space travel are not static. As long as time-space travel is interrupted, the quality of beef cattle will decline.
Anyway, after Li Anran spent a lot of time acting as an expert in beef cattle cultivation, he brought this thing with him and various other species that needed improvement and optimization to travel through time and space, the green cattle breed has stabilized.
The only thing that made Li Anran a little dissatisfied was that the population of these green bulls was still too small. If they were listed at this time, although it would definitely cause a sensation, the sensation would definitely not be perfect without making a complete plan.
In order to enable the new beef cattle, the Qingniu, to carry forward the beef cattle in his own hands, and it is best to kick the Japanese Kobe cattle off the altar in one fell swoop, Lee Anran had to act as a freighter to run to Lewis Guoli, Montana.
Considering that the ability of mind transmission was too buggy, Li Anran did not dare to take the cows directly. Instead, he deliberately played outside for a few days before packing all the green cows raised in the time and space of the Tang Dynasty and then took them directly to the ranch.
Because the breeding time is still too short, even if the growth rate and reproduction efficiency of this kind of green cattle are much higher than that of ordinary varieties, the number of green cattle that Li Anran can produce is limited. However, with the pasture, I believe that expanding the population is not a problem.
Compared to the troubles of beef cattle, pure-blooded horse racing and cigar tobacco are obviously much simpler.
The pure-blooded horse racing has only purchased two outside, and then it was used to breed the first-class horses of the Tang Dynasty and the world's sweat-blooded BMW. But even so, Li Anran spent a lot of money on these two horses alone.
