Chapter 2138 Invitation from the Livestock Trading Reception
"Attending the livestock trading reception?" Li Han muttered. "Why did you send the invitation letter here?"
"Han, you have forgotten that Hank cattle are participating in livestock competitions. This is a highlight of the rodeo. Orson Ranch has purchased cattle breeds. This has not happened for many years. And the transaction is such a big one. I don't want you to invite anyone."
Ah." Lingna said with a smile.
"There is another saying." Li Han put the invitation aside casually.
"I've invited you after selling hundreds of cows. It doesn't look like this cocktail party is that good?" Liu Xiaoxiao muttered. "By the way, my brother said he would sell your cattle to raise money, but you don't know how to raise a cow."
Isn’t it expensive to sell?”
"Little sister, daddy's beef is sold very cheaply." Dudu opened the invitation letter. "It didn't even say if there were snacks."
"Tch, my little butt only knows how to eat snacks. Tell me quickly, how much does one of your father's cows cost?" Liu Xiaoxiao asked the villain in a low voice.
"Ten thousand dollars, this is too expensive." Liu Xiaoxiao shouted.
Ten thousand US dollars, when calculated, is 60,000 to 70,000 RMB, a cow is so expensive.
"No, no." Dudu waved his little hands.
"A thousand dollars, isn't this cheaper?" Liu Xiaoxiao was a little confused.
"One hundred thousand dollars." said the little man.
"What?" Liu Xiaoxiao stood up suddenly. Although Liu Xiaoxiao didn't know much about the bull market, one hundred thousand dollars, in total, would be six to seven hundred thousand to buy a cow, unless he was a fool.
"What's wrong?"
Li Han moved the tea cup and was beaten. This was made by Liu Ming. He asked a master to make it. Don't look at it, it's not very good. One set only costs several hundred thousand.
"Han, do you really want to sell your cow for 100,000 dollars, or US dollars?" Liu Xiaoxiao asked.
"Yeah, what's wrong? The price is too cheap. There's nothing I can do about it. It's not famous." Li Han said.
Regarding the promotion of beef, Li Han talked with Old Orson. He originally thought that relying on barbecue would at least open up the situation, but later he learned that the beef market in the United States is divided into several segments, and the top market is occupied by Japanese Wagyu and Australian Wagyu.
The mid-to-high-end restaurant market is mostly dominated by several famous American cattle breeds, which are controlled by several major meat supply companies. As for the low-end market, there are small and medium-sized ranches, family ranches, and some small cattle farms.
It can be imagined how difficult it is for Li Han to break into the mid-to-high-end and top-tier markets. These inherent interest groups will never watch their market being disrupted by an outsider.
Li Han needs some friends, and these friends need, of course, Li Han's trump card, Hank Niu.
"Is this cheap?" Liu Xiaoxiao felt that Li Han was a vampire, a terrifying black-hearted capitalist.
Natalie smiled. "Kid, your brother is rushing to buy it. Why? Your brother-in-law is a smart man. He agrees. What does that mean?"
"Really cheap?" Liu Xiaoxiao looked uncertain.
"Well, it's so cheap. Many people are asking dad to buy it, but dad doesn't have any cows to sell now." Dudu said. "Uncle Liu Ming bought it, so dad sold it."
Liu Xiaoxiao was stunned. Two hundred and fifty animals actually cost 25 million U.S. dollars. Oh my God, it was more than 100 million dollars. He might not have that brother of his, so no wonder he had to run home to collect money.
"Can I attend the cocktail party tomorrow?" Liu Xiaoxiao muttered in her heart, she really couldn't believe that all this was true.
"Of course, no problem."
Li Han said, "But you need a dress."
"Is it too late to do it now?" Li Han asked Ling Na.
Lingna shook her head slightly. "You can only buy pre-made ones."
"Well, let's go and buy a dress for you tomorrow," Li Han said.
"And buy a dress."
"This is a cocktail party. If it's a cowboy party, don't bother." Li Han, the venue mentioned above is a five-star hotel in Houston. There is no cowboy party here.
"Okay." Liu Xiaoxiao said. "Unfortunately, I don't have money."
Li Han was helpless, smiled bitterly, and shook his head. "Don't worry, your brother-in-law gave me five hundred thousand, and I will deduct it from it."
"Ah." Liu Xiaoxiao glanced at Li Han. "Han, I can take it myself. Don't worry, I will never spend it randomly."
Li Han smiled. This girl is really a money-lover. She patted her and looked at Liu Xiaoxiao's little Dudu figure with admiration on her face. "Your brother-in-law told me about this. Leave the money to me first. What do you think?"
If you want, ask your brother-in-law."
"If you ask him, he will definitely not give it." Liu Xiaoxiao muttered dissatisfied.
"Haha, okay, Dudu, baby, Maria, let's go and cook."
Li Han said with a smile.
"Um."
Early on the first day, Li Han and his family got up early. Liu Xiaoxiao, who was called out, yawned. "What time is it now? What are we doing out so early?" Liu Xiaoxiao had a grimace.
"Sister, we all agreed yesterday," Dudu said.
"Is it so early to buy a dress?"
"Haha, after selling the gifts, we have to go to the orphanage." Li Han said with a smile.
"Welfare home?" Liu Xiaoxiao muttered, what are you doing in the welfare home?
"Little sister, there are many children in the orphanage, and none of them have parents." Dudu said.
"Well, uncle said, let's go barbecue and treat the children to eat," said the baby.
Maria said. "Yesterday, Sister Dudu and Sister Baobao, we prepared many cookies and made ice cream."
"Uh-huh."
Liu Xiaoxiao, looking at the three villains, muttered in a low voice, no wonder there was a movement in the kitchen at night, they are really caring.
Although he said so, when he left the house, he didn't say anything about getting up early, complained, and yawned as he went to the dress shop. "Are these gentlemen and ladies here to pick up dresses?"
"No, help this lady and see if she has a suitable dress."
"Okay, sir."
A tailor came over and Li Han waved his hand. "That's right, time is a bit urgent. We have a cocktail party tonight. This lady just came over yesterday. There is a missing gift. Do you have any ready-made gifts?"
"Ah, okay, sir, let me take a look for you."
"How about this one?"
"Wear it and try it on."
Liu Xiaoxiao took it and tried it. The size was suitable, but I didn’t really like the color. After taking a look at the little people waiting for her, Liu Xiaoxiao nodded. “No, I’m too sleepy, so this is the one.”
"Little sister, you have tried everything."
"Hmm." Liu Xiaoxiao muttered. "There's nothing good here anyway."
"Yeah." Dudu nodded his little head vigorously. "Go back and ask Grandpa Wang to help you do it. Grandpa Wang did it beautifully."
"Well, the baby looks good too." The little baby was afraid that Liu Xiaoxiao wouldn't believe it, so he patted his little chest and said.
"Grandpa Wang?"
"He is a cheongsam master who is very famous in the Chinese community in Los Angeles." Li Han said with a smile.
"My sister has a beautiful cheongsam. I asked my brother-in-law several times and said it was a gift from an American friend. Han, it couldn't be from you, right?" Liu Xiaoxiao looked at Li Han with narrowed eyes.
Li Han nodded. "If it's the violet one, I think so. Master Wang spent nearly a month making it himself."
"Really, that's great, Dudu. I will help my sister find Master Wang to make one when we get back." Liu Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up. The cheongsam she wore was so beautiful. Liu Xiaoxiao had always wanted it, but unfortunately her sister was so stingy.
"Okay, but Grandpa Wang said that making cheongsam is very tiring." Little Dudu rolled his eyes and whispered.
Liu Xiaoxiao curled her lips, and the little devil was playing tricks on him. "That's it, okay then, go back and I'll try it."
Dudu, Gudu, Gugu and Xiaoguo all got the lines wrong, and Li Han and the other adults were overjoyed when they saw him.
"Sir, the dress is wrapped for you."
"Thanks."
Li Han took it and handed it to Liu Xiaoxiao. "It's getting late, we should set off."
"Where's the barbecue truck?"
After leaving the dress shop, Liu Xiaoxiao asked.
"Don't worry about this, it's already on the way." Li Han said with a smile. "We are here, and the barbecue truck will be here soon."
The welfare home is some distance away from the city center. It is a large place in the suburbs. "Is this a welfare home?" Liu Xiaoxiao was slightly startled when she saw the lawn and green space, and there seemed to be milk and lambs.
"This welfare home was donated by an old man. It used to be a pasture."
Li Han said, "The welfare home's main source of income is this ranch."
This pasture is not very big. The old man raises black pigs. However, due to the economic crisis, there are no more black pigs in the welfare home. There are only a few dozen sheep and five milk cows left.
"Marwa, we're here."
"I'll go over now."
After a few minutes, Mawa ran out with a group of children.
"Han, thank you so much." Marwa said with a grateful expression. Just as she was about to give Li Han a hug, she remembered that she had just milked the cow and smiled sheepishly.
Li Han smiled and stretched out his hand. Marwa was stunned, and then held Li Han's hands with both hands. "Han, I'm so sorry, I should have been waiting here."
"fine."
"Aunt Marwa, why isn't there a barbecue truck?" A timid voice came from behind Marwa.
"Haha, the barbecue truck is on the way. Let's wait for two minutes."
Li Han said with a smile.
"Sorry, Han, the kids haven't had barbecue for more than a month." Marwa said, a little apologetically.
"Marva, you are too polite."
Li Han turned back to Dudu and the little guys and said, "Pandora, baby, Maria, quickly bring over the gifts you have prepared."
"Um."
With the help of Jennifer and others, the three little people took out the prepared chocolate chip cookies, duck biscuits, and ice cream and distributed them to the children.
“Pandora made it herself.”
"Baby's ice cream."
"Maria's chocolate sprinkles."
The three little people soon started playing with the children in the orphanage, eating cookies and talking with a little pride on their faces.
"You little brat."
Liu Xiaoxiao, looking at a group of cute young ladies and little lolita, muttered that the biscuits looked delicious and there was ice cream. However, Liu Xiaoxiao glanced at Li Han and others and clicked her lips. "No, I am an adult.
