Chapter 90: Give me an answer after thinking about it
After returning to the ranch, the already slow pace of life became even slower.
It's just some things like raising cattle and sheep plus catching fish, and there is nothing to worry about.
After receiving an affirmative answer from Mr. Kenny, Zhang Xiaokai replied that he would ask his own son later, and then carried a basket of peaches into the back of the Rolls-Royce.
Use it to haul goods and take them home as snacks for the white bear Mocha, and in addition to the red panda, which should also love to eat this fruit.
July.
The light is strong, the grass is growing thickly, and you can even see the green waves rolling when the wind blows.
After the winter of the previous year, the construction team was specially invited to install automatic irrigation equipment, and there was a place about 15 meters apart where the river could not be flooded, and they were spraying the river water to water the pasture.
Almost full of cattle and sheep, the growth rate of the grass can not keep up, most of the grass bought from outside can detect some pesticide residues, and they do not like to eat, in this hot summer can only water more.
As for the effect, of course it is good.
Driving along the asphalt road to home, I called my dad halfway to tell him about the Gold Ranch being sold, and he only told him to wait at home, saying that he would go together after the fishing boat docked to understand the situation, and most likely also had the meaning of expanding the scale of the Cleveland ranch.
Go home to help the big white bear wash the peaches, leaving a few with intact skin ready to eat by himself, the bear doesn't care if the fruit has been bitten by insects, but Zhang Xiaokai cares very much.
"Mocha, come back for dinner!"
Standing at the door and shouting, the big white bear who was swimming in the river to cool off immediately sped up his movements and went to the shore, and after going ashore, he shook off the water droplets on his body and ran to the door of his house with a smoke.
Unlike other bears, when they lose their fur, they look a little thinner, unlike Mocha, which is really fat.
It is larger than the skeleton of an ordinary white spirit bear, so much so that Zhang Xiaokai wondered if it was a white spirit bear, and if it was, then it weighed almost twice as much as them, which was too strange.
Not only fat, but also beautiful, one summer with a shearing razor to help it shave, so angry that this big guy didn't go out for several days, and didn't give Zhang Xiaokai a good look, and he never shaved again.
The air conditioner at home is always on, the biogas power generation does not cost money, and you can go down to the river and go to the forest to cool off, this guy is smart enough to worry about it getting hot.
I have eaten peaches before, and now I sit at the door and only eat meat, throw the peach pit into the flower bed, how beautiful and beautiful the fat face is, more than 20 catties of peaches, almost just enough to eat......
Daddy hasn't come home yet.
Zhang Xiaokai only wore a pair of jeans, standing at the door with a water gun to wash the car, the upper body muscles were not obvious, but the foundation was very good, and there was no fat.
After half an hour, after he had packed up and returned, they drove north together to the Golden Ranch.
The Gordes family has been running the ranch for more than 100 years, and the old house is not that big, but it is very exquisite, and several generations have lived in it, and the walls are painted with reliefs, a bit like a church.
Thinking that he might buy it, Zhang Xiaokai looked very carefully during his visit, it had not rained for several days, some pastures had withered and yellowed, and the cattle were not as strong as their own cattle.
The fence is very old, it is another year to mend the seams, the road is only a stone road, and the cowshed and sheepfold are quite simple.
Not all ranches make the same money as Cleveland ranches, and if you want to live a good life, more often you can only save unnecessary expenses as much as possible and ensure that you can use them, which cannot be compared with Cleveland ranches.
At the door of Gold's house, a group of cowboys waiting for the last week's wages were chatting.
Zhang Xiaokai almost laughed when he heard someone say, "Who wasn't a champion swimmer before he was born", these cowboys looked at the father and son with very complicated eyes, and almost all of them tried to jump ship to work on the Cleveland ranch, but it was full of people, and no one had succeeded so far.
Most of these people are from Brookingstown, and in the eyes of the cowboys in Brookingstown, they are very hostile to the outlanders who work on the Cleveland ranch, but Kenny, Hank, and other employees who were recruited from Linzhen in the first place hate them.
It's only partial, most people actually have a good relationship, but it's not much better.
Daddy Zhang came directly to the door and rang the doorbell, and Mr. Gold's angry voice came from inside: "I said that I will pay my salary after counting the money, what is the hurry! I am not dead yet!"
When Zhang Xiaokai heard this tone, he couldn't help but start to be a little worried.
In the past, although Mr. Gold had a hot temper, and from time to time he quarreled with his grandfather Ronald Sr. over trivial matters, but it sounded worse now, wondering if he had picked the wrong time to come to the door.
A few seconds later, the door was opened by Mr. Gold, who had not expected them to come.
In recent years, I have been learning the breeding techniques of Cleveland Ranch, listening to music to the cows, and massaging the cattle myself, and in the end, it almost became a joke.
How can I give a good face, knowing that I don't have much life, some people become peaceful, some people become unscrupulous, old Gold belongs to the latter, and said: "Finally, I don't have to be so angry with you that I can't sleep, if you want to comfort me, then please go back, I know that I am about to die, but I don't need anyone's care, it makes me sick." ”??
Fortunately, he didn't come to comfort him, Zhang Xiaokai said: "No, no, no, we just came with a check, we want to buy this ranch, I heard that you brought customers to visit, right? We can pay 30 million US dollars, if we promise to sign a contract today, only so much money." ”??
Obviously angry with this old man, so that he didn't even have the meaning of pulling home, and he gave a more suitable price, although people here like to talk straight, but it seems to be too direct.
"Thirty million dollars, are you sure?"
The elder Gold will be suspicious, he began to plan to sell the ranch last month, and felt that no one in Brookings could afford it, so he asked real estate agents in San Francisco, New York and other places to help sell it, and the commission alone was three points.
A total of four potential buyers came, half of them did not take a fancy to them, and half only gave low prices, and the highest bid was only 24 million US dollars, which was about the same price if it was five years ago, and the increase in land prices in recent years did not meet the expectations of the old Gold.
And the $30 million offer given by Zhang Xiaokai is not bad in the old man's opinion, and it is considered to be the expected price, and the listing price is $33 million.
Zhang Xiaokai nodded and said, "Really, if you agree to trade today, you should know that we can get so much money." ”??
The elder Gold was not a great father, and now his son lives in Brooklyn, New York, and his daughter runs a clothing store in Los Angeles, and she doesn't come back often even on Christmas and Thanksgiving.
Like Ronald Sr., living in this place for a lifetime is also a little boring.
While paying the cowboys, he said, "Let me think about it, and I'll give you an answer after thinking about it......"
