Super Ranch: Brothers come to Africa to farm

Chapter 465 Sisal matures!

In addition, Old Sanders and Richard also sent congratulations to Wang Lu!

"Boss, being on the cover of Time magazine is not an honor that everyone can enjoy. Don't pay attention to the bad comments. In Chinese, those guys are just old people who have enough to eat and nothing to do."

Old Sanders showed off his latest Chinese vocabulary!

Even the Agricultural Reclamation Group made a special call to Wang Lu, and the person in charge of the local Agricultural Reclamation Group went directly to the ranch. After a brief exchange of greetings, the other party also made clear his intention to come.

"Mr. Wang, look at your [-] acres of sisal. After Professor Qin's evaluation, it is completely ready for harvesting. At present, our domestic demand for sisal is also very high. We will know how much sisal you have in this batch." How much to acquire!”

Wang Lu also smiled when he heard this:
"Good talk good talk!"

It has been more than two years since these sisal seedlings were planted. The growth cycle can be said to be the longest among the entire pasture crops, but now they are finally bearing fruit.

Normal sisal needs two to three years to grow before it can be harvested, and most of them take nearly three years. However, the sisal in Wanglu Ranch only grew for two years and reached maturity in the early days, and the pasture is fertile. The land is naturally inseparable from the relationship.

This is because these sisals are mainly used in some industries, so Wang Lu is not willing to use vitality energy to cultivate them, otherwise the time may be shortened.

Normal sisal harvesting standards are based on how many leaves a sisal plant has. Generally, hundreds of leaves are developed. If the leaves exceed [-] centimeters, it is enough to meet the harvesting standard.

As for the 120 acres of sisal in the pasture, almost every sisal plant has grown more than [-] leaves, with a length of [-] centimeters. For sisal that has only grown for two years, it is already considered a leaf. No small miracle.

But neither the veterans who are usually responsible for the maintenance of these [-] acres of sisal land nor Professor Qin and the students under him, no one thought there was anything unexpected or wrong.

It is true that Wang Lu has given them too many surprises.

Ever since, the next main task of the ranch is to harvest these sisal.

When harvesting these sisals, it is necessary to leave about 25 to [-] leaves to ensure that they can continue to be harvested in the next year. There are also some tips when harvesting sisal. You need to use a sisal knife to cut diagonally. Harvesting must be carried out at the bottom, and the local industry is backward, so there is no suitable agricultural machinery to harvest these sisal.

This [-] acres of sisal land requires manual harvesting.

The current manpower of the ranch is definitely not up to the task. The harvest of sisal must come in the rainy season and take advantage of the dry season when the temperature is dry, so there are timeliness requirements.

But that doesn't matter, you just need to re-recruit the local black labor force that was recruited when planting the sisal, and it will be regarded as a short-term hired labor force as before.

Anyway, all you need to pay is some cheap employment costs.

You must know that the formal black employees recruited by the ranch during this year have relied on Wang Lu's salary, forming an obvious rich-poor class with other local blacks.While other black people were still free to fight and fight, the regular employees of the ranch were considered rich thanks to Wang Lu's salary that far exceeded the local average, and they became the envy of others.

Therefore, many black people in surrounding villages and towns are now very enthusiastic about Wang Lu's ranch, hoping to join it and get a job. Even if it is a short-term job, they can get a high salary for one to two months!
Coupled with Wang Lu's identity as a Maasai chief and the full support of Elder Hassan, almost all the local Maasai people are now on Wang Lu's side. No blind black man dares to cause trouble for Wang Lu. , or impose it on Wang Lu in a way that fools foreigners.

Facing other foreign employers, maybe these black people would dare not go to work for three to five days and then go out to ask for their wages at the end of the month. But if anyone dares to do this to Wang Lu now, there will immediately be Maasai people with machetes. Out.

"Parker, go make the recruitment announcement, we are ready for a big fight!"

Wang Lu also gave an order to Parker, and it was very simple. All he had to do was ask Amanda and the Maasai people to shout around.

Almost the next day, the entrance to the ranch was crowded with local black people who came from all over to apply for jobs.

Of course, when there are more people, order can easily become chaotic, and some guys even started fighting on the spot.

Finally, after Parker used his AK to sweep the shuttle in the sky, he was able to calm down these guys. They all shrank their heads and started lining up to register information.

When recruiting these temporary labor forces, Wang Lu also asked formal black employees like Amanda to join them, and gave priority to recruiting relatives or recommended friends of these formal employees, so that the guarantee would be higher.

In addition, batches of custom-made sisal cutting knives have also arrived at the ranch. These sharp special knives are very easy to use to cut sisal leaves. Ordinary knives cannot cut those thick fiber sisal leaves. , even if it can be used, the efficiency will be much lower. These cutting knives were purchased by Wang Lu with money.

Soon the entire ranch recruited thousands of temporary laborers, all spread out into the endless sisal fields.

Under the management of Amanda, a group of formal black people, these temporary laborers were divided into working groups, with an average of three to four people in each working group, two of whom were responsible for cutting sisal leaves, and the remaining people were responsible for cutting sisal leaves. The cut sisal leaves are collected, sorted, and carried to a transport truck that moves back and forth among the sisal fields.

When we planned the sisal fields, we left enough space for transportation vehicles between the fields to make harvesting easier.

In addition, the simple sisal processing equipment acquired through the Farm Reclamation Group has also been set up in the pasture.

The harvested sisal will be briefly processed in the pasture to extract the crude fiber rich in it, and then it will be purchased by the Agricultural Reclamation Group and shipped back to the country.

The temporary black labor force recruited by the ranch is only responsible for simple harvesting and transportation operations. These specific processing tasks are performed by regular employees recruited by the previous ranch.

These employees are more careful and responsible, and can better undertake the work. Of course, Wang Lu pays them higher salaries.
