Chapter 124: The Farm

At half past six in the evening, Chen Linzhi rushed to the restaurant on time to make an appointment.

Under the recommendation of Anastasia, Chen Linzhi met an assistant director of the purchasing department of Wal-Mart, who was different from Dempsey, who was really a ruthless character with real power.

She only informed Chen Linzhi last night that there was not much time left for him to prepare, and he was mainly busy investigating and understanding during the day today, and hurriedly made preparations.

For example, Michigan, California, Pennsylvania, New York and other places are rich in apples, and these places are also rich in grapes.

The main cherry producing areas are Michigan, Utah, Washington, New York and Pennsylvania, among which Michigan produces 70% of the cherries in the United States.

Among all kinds of fruits, bananas are the largest in the market, with the average American resident consuming more than 20 pounds of bananas per person in a year, which is very common for breakfast and lunch.

Grown in Hawaii in a small amount, accounting for one percent of consumption, the country imports nearly seven billion pounds a year from South and Central America, mainly Costa Rica, Ecuador, Honduras and Colombia.

After really getting to know Chen Linzhi, I found that it was completely unrealistic to transport fruits from Southeast Asia, but fortunately, the company's employees were arranged to help collect information, otherwise there would inevitably be jokes.

Anastasia didn't tell too many details, so Chen Linzhi couldn't guess whether he was referring to Walmart supermarkets that supply the whole United States, or some of the states, and he didn't know enough about logistics, warehousing, customs clearance and other links.

Fortunately, the idea of the so-called "grocery area" is still in the folder of Wal-Mart's executives, so after the initial contact, his performance can score 85 points overall, and he is also willing to cooperate with Wal-Mart to build several fruit logistics transfer stations, so as to avoid the trouble of Wal-Mart in the warehousing process, so that they only need to send a car to pull the fruit away.

This is a temporary method that Chen Linzhi came up with in order to enhance his competitiveness.

Miss Anastasia had learned badly, and dared to reach under the table in the dining room to tease Chen Linzhi.

In this regard, it can only be said that once a woman relaxes her vigilance against a man, she is really bold, Chen Linzhi can't help but get angry, and is ready to "teach" her a meal after dinner on the spot......

-------------------------------------

There are many houses in the family, and Anastasia excuses that she works overtime at night, lives in a villa in the center of Bentonville town and does not go back, but actually spends the night in Chen Linzhi's hotel room.

On Saturday, the weather was sunny and the white clouds were lazy.

At eight o'clock, when they came to the restaurant downstairs to eat a sandwich, Chen Linzhi was in charge of driving, and Anastasia helped guide the way, and drove the Jaguar to her family's farm for vacation.

After driving for a while after leaving the main road, Chen Linzhi wanted to find a place to go to the toilet and asked her: "How long will it take to arrive, do you drive to and from work like this every day during work?"

"Well, the road has always been my family's farm, usually close to the other gates, about twenty minutes away from the company, now I will take you directly to visit the rose fields in the valley, thirty percent of the roses in the entire Arkansas are produced on my family's farm, and they should be harvested by the machine in a week or so. ”

The night before, Anastasia had already explained her old background, and now she has no scruples about talking about these things, and there is no need to hide it anymore.

Looking at the open fields on the side of the road, Chen Linzhi then asked: "I have always thought that the farm is just a small piece of land, why is the vacant land deserted, what is the main plant?"

"There is no waste, the seeds of soybeans and cotton should have been sown in time, the next farm has a river running through it, which is suitable for growing rice, and there are cattle and sheep growing near the valley. I received a baby cow as a gift on my 10th birthday, and now that it's alive, I named it PiPi.

Growing up in a big city like San Francisco, you certainly didn't have any exposure to that, I grew up here, I moved to a big city after I went to school, and the housing prices still came back, and my father didn't have the money to buy a nearby farm, which was about a third of what it is now, and land was always the most secure asset for him. ”

Introducing the land where she lived as a child, Miss Anastasia was full of enthusiasm, the windows were open, warm wind was blowing in, and her hair was fluttering in the wind.

Chen Linzhi was influenced by the impression of small-scale farming in the field and always thought that the farm should be like that, and it was hard to imagine that the big landowners in the United States could hold such a large piece of land.

Anastasia's family has more than 3,000 acres of land easement, which is more than 20,000 acres, including some undulating hills, which means that the actual area is larger.

According to her, it seems that she has recently been discussing with her neighbors to try to annex some more high-quality black land.

"Living in this kind of place is very different from the metropolis, the house is bigger and the pace of life is slower, so it should be more comfortable, and I like this rural life. ”

As soon as Chen Linzhi finished speaking, he immediately noticed that something was wrong.

Really.

Anastasia, who was looking forward to the future of the two of them, asked him happily: "If, I mean if, would you like to live in Bentonville in the future?" My father has already begun to help me build a new house, according to the design of the French palace, he does not want me to be too far away from him in the future, how about taking you to see it later." ”

"Hmm...... That's great, but my career is in California, and even though I know you have to worry about any material things, I still want to make my own achievements, you know? It's the dignity of being a man, and I'm confident that I'll succeed.

If I don't achieve anything, people will only remember me as your boyfriend, and by the time I've achieved amazing things, people will be proud to know me, at least not yet. ”

Chen Linzhi tried to explain, but he didn't want to make Miss Anastasia sad by saying unintentional words, so he spoke slowly and tried not to make mistakes.

He also understands that Anastasia is already planning the future, and he doesn't even need Chen Linzhi to be responsible for buying a property, and countless men are expected to cheer and breathe a sigh of relief for this, but Chen Linzhi is not an ordinary person, and he has a little headache at the moment.

Unexpectedly, Anastasia was very calm, and hearing the words did not affect her good mood at all, and explained to Chen Linzhi intimately:

"I can fully understand, don't get me wrong, I don't mean to meddle in your life, men should indeed be self-motivated, I like you like this.

Also, the town of Bentonville is so small that it would be boring to live there all the time, and I would love to travel the world like everyone else, to Egypt, to France, to live in Los Angeles or New York. ”

The guilt in Chen Linzhi's heart suddenly deepened, after all, she was not as good as she thought.

But he didn't say anything, and he didn't plan to deliberately distance himself because Anastasia thought far, and made up his mind to take one step at a time......
