I know you are always interested
in looking for opportunities for investment.
I don't know if you would
be interested in this, but I thought I would mention
it to you because it could
be a real "sleeper" in making a lot of money
with very little investment.
A group of us is considering
investing in a large cat ranch near Hermosillo, Mexico.
It is our intention to start
rather small with about one million cats.
Each cat averages about twelve
kittens each year; skins can be sold for about
twenty cents for the white
ones and up to forty cents for the black. This will give us
twelve million cat skins per
year to sell at an average price of around
thirty-two cents, making revenue
about $3 million a year. This averages out to about
$10 thousand a day excluding
Sundays and holidays. A good Mexican cat man can skin
about fifty cats per day at
a wage of$3.15 a day. It will take only 633 men to operate
the ranch, so the net profit
would be over $8,200 per day. Now, the cats would be
fed on rats exclusively. Rats
multiply four times faster than cats. We would start
a rat ranch adjacent to our
cat ranch. If we started with a million rats, we will have four
rats per cat per day. The
rats will be fed on the carcasses of the cats we skin. This
will give each rat a quarter
of cat per day. You can see by this that the business
is a clean operation, self-supporting,
and really automatic throughout.
The cats will eat the rats,
and the rats will eat the cats, and we will get the skins.
Eventually, it is my hope
to cross the cats with snakes because snakes skin themselves
twice a year. This will save
the labor costs of skinning the cats as well as giving
us two skins per cat. Let
me know if you are interested. As you can imagine, I'm rather
particular whom I want in
this deal. And I want the fewest investors possible.
May I hear from you at your
earliest convenience.
