Luke parked the car in front of the main house, got out, and walked towards the livestock shed.

Old Jack stopped him and only let him pass after he registered.

Luke found Su Chen and got straight to the point.

"I heard you've produced top-quality breeding cattle?"

Su Chen took him to see the cattle shed.

Luke stood by the fence, looking at the eighteen calves, and remained silent for a long time.

"You won't find another cow like this in the whole prefecture."

Su Chen didn't reply.

Luke rubbed his hands together.

"Su Chen, I'll take care of your feed from now on. I'll give you the lowest price and guarantee the best quality."

Su Chen nodded.

"OK."

Luke drove away, glancing back at the barn before he left.

The next day, bank manager Smith took the initiative to call Su Chen.

"Mr. Su, I heard your breeding cattle have been certified by the state?"

"It's approved."

"I can provide you with a low-interest breeding loan, with an interest rate two percentage points lower than normal loans, and a maximum loan amount of five million."

Su Chen thought for a moment.

"I don't need it for now. I'll contact you when I do."

Smith said "okay, okay" repeatedly and hung up the phone.

Mayor George personally visited the ranch.

He parked his car in front of the main house, and Su Chen came out to greet him.

George didn't stand on ceremony and said he wanted to see the breeding bulls.

Su Chen took him to the livestock shed, and George stood by the fence and watched for a long time.

"Su Chen, you're amazing! Can I take a few pictures?"

"Can."

George took out his phone and snapped a few pictures.

They then had Su Chen stand next to the cow for a photo.

After filming, George said, "I want to use the Sunset Cow as the agricultural calling card of Whitefish Town and promote it to the outside world."

"The town will help you apply for state-level agricultural breeding subsidies, which are approximately $50,000 to $80,000 per year."

"When can you come down?"

"Next fiscal year."

George is gone.

The next day, a photo and description of the Sunset Sacred Ox were posted on the bulletin board of the Baiyu Town Government.

The townspeople were abuzz with discussion after seeing it.

Neighbor Anderson arrived early the next morning.

He parked his car at the ranch entrance, and Old Jack registered him before letting him through.

Anderson entered the barn and stared wide-eyed at the sight of the eighteen breeding bulls.

"Su Chen, can I borrow your ox for a bit?"

"How do I use it?"

"For breeding, I'd like to import your cattle rice extract to improve my herd."

Su Chen did not reply immediately.

Anderson was getting anxious.

"You set the price, you set the rules, I'll do whatever you say."

Su Chen thought for a moment.

"Semen can be sold, but breeding cattle cannot."

"The price of the spermicide is $500 per dose, and it can only be used on your cattle herd and cannot be resold."

Anderson readily agreed.

As the news spread, the other six small and medium-sized ranchers also came to find Su Chen.

Some wanted to buy sperm extract, some wanted to buy calves, and some wanted to cooperate in breeding.

Su Chen set a rule.

Each dose of Mi Qing liquid costs $500 and is only available to ranchers in Whitefish Town. Each household is limited to purchasing 20 doses and resale is prohibited.

The calves are not sold; they are all kept for propagation.

All six ranchers signed the agreement.

John, the town's butcher, also arrived.

He found Su Chen, didn't even look at the breeding bull, and asked directly, "When will the beef from the descendants of the Sunset Divine Bull be available?"

"next year."

"What about the price?"

"It's not decided yet."

John held up three fingers.

"I'll cover it all, even if it's three times the market price."

Su Chen neither agreed nor refused.

"We'll decide based on the quality later."

John left, leaving behind a message.

"I trust the quality."

Residents of the town began to flock to the ranch, hoping to go inside and see the breeding cattle.

Old Jack politely declined as per regulations, only allowing his collaborators into the core area.

Su Chen held a small exchange meeting at the town's community center.

The group consisted of ranchers from Whitefish Town and the surrounding area, totaling about a dozen people.

Su Chen talked about the concepts of ecological farming and scientific care.

Rotational grazing, pasture improvement, feed formulation, and disease prevention and control.

It's all general knowledge; no system-related content was mentioned.

The ranchers listened attentively; some took notes, while others recorded the conversation on their phones.

After the meeting, several ranchers surrounded him, asking if they could visit their ranches in person.

Su Chen agreed, but only in the display area and regular cattle sheds; the breeding cattle area was not open.

Emma compiled a list of potential collaborations.

Six companies signed agreements to purchase rice extract, three signed breeding cooperation agreements, and two companies want to purchase forage on a long-term basis.

Ben gave a lecture on the care of high-quality cattle breeds to ranchers in the town at the veterinary station.

There were more than 20 people present. The lecture lasted for two hours, covering topics from feed formulation to disease prevention and control, from the timing of mating to calving care.

Luke hung a sign outside the agricultural supply store: Sunset Ranch Special Feed Supplier.

Business has improved considerably.

Smith promoted Sunset Cows within the bank, boosting the ranch's asset valuation.

After a reassessment, the bank's risk control department increased the ranch's credit line from 500,000 to 2 million.

George proposed at the town council meeting to establish a special breeding support fund for Sunset Ranch.

Parliament unanimously approved the grant of $50,000 annually for three consecutive years.

Su Chen returned to the ranch and strengthened security in the breeding cattle area.

Black Fang led the wolf pack to patrol the area around the cattle shed twice more.

Lingfeng increased the frequency of high-altitude reconnaissance.

Old Jack posted stricter entry and exit regulations in the guardhouse.

The reputation of the Sunset Divine Ox became well-known throughout Whitefish Town.

Su Chen stood in front of the cattle shed, watching the eighteen cattle grazing leisurely in the activity area.

Emma walked over, holding a cooperation intention statistics form in her hand.

"We've already received orders for 60 doses of the amylose solution, generating $30,000 in revenue."

Su Chen nodded.

"All six ranchers are demanding that the goods be delivered as soon as possible."

"We've arranged to collect semen first, and we'll start supplying it next week."

Emma wrote it down.

Su Chen turned and went back to the main house. Hei Feng followed, and Ling Feng landed on the roof.

Su Chen pushed open the study door and sat down at the desk.

The system panel pops up.

Current Reputation Level: Well-known locally

[Unlock Feature: Regional Influence]

[Tip: Increasing your reputation unlocks more business cooperation opportunities]

Su Chen turned off the panel.

It was dark outside the window.

The lights in the pasture were on, and the lights in the livestock shed were on too.

Juan and Luis are also inspecting pregnant cows in the rest area.

Ben's car was parked at the entrance of the ranch, and he had just left.

Su Chen leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.

I have things to do tomorrow.

......

Su Chen got up early and organized all the identification reports, breeding results, and quality data of the Sunset Divine Cow.

Emma was making a high-end brochure next to her, with a photo of N-12 on the cover.

It contains information such as varietal purity, marble pattern score, and genetic testing data.

Fifty brochures were made, printed on coated paper in full color; they look very expensive.

Su Chen contacted a high-end food distributor he had previously worked with and sent them the electronic version of the brochure.

That afternoon, Michelin three-star chef Pierre called.

"Mr. Su, I've looked at your breeding cattle data."

"How is it?"

"I want to reserve. Ten descendants of the Sunset Cow, exclusively for my restaurant."

"What about the price?"

"Eight hundred dollars per pound."

This price is 60% higher than the current price of premium beef.

Su Chen didn't rush to agree.

"The delivery time must be at my pace; I cannot rush it."

"Can."

"A 30% deposit is required upfront and is non-refundable."

"Can."

Su Chen asked Emma to draft the reservation agreement.

Pierre's assistant transferred the deposit of $150,000 that same day.

The next day, Su Chen received a call from the Wall Street tycoon's private food concierge.

The other party identified himself as surnamed Chen and spoke very politely.
