There are boring agencies that have investigated.

With an annual income of less than $75,000, money can be exchanged for happiness, and after this amount, a simple increase in wealth does not make people live a happier life.

Zhang Xiaokai read the results of this survey and felt that it was more like nonsense, but after his value, many things became taken for granted, such as going on vacation if he wanted to, and buying a yacht from the Italian Riva company, a Rolls-Royce produced in the United Kingdom, or a helicopter, he bought it casually.

He is qualified to say that continuing to earn money will not be exchanged for happiness.

Separated from his girlfriend Adlina made Zhang Xiaokai very uncomfortable, just like other men who fell in love for the first time, he couldn't help but think of her.

However, the next period of time is more important for Adlina, and she has to study hard and strive to get into a better university.

As a person who has come over, Zhang Xiaokai feels that he can't actually go to college, which is similar to people like them who don't need to work, but he can't help make decisions, and some things are better to experience in person.

Besides.

Adlina is so young, what can she do if she doesn't study, he doesn't want to support his old age and drag his girlfriend who is full of fantasies about the future into the water.

Back at the Cleveland Ranch, the salted fish life continues to begin.

After solving the major events in his life, he became in a better mood, and occasionally took the initiative to help his father manage the ranch, enjoying the interesting time in his ordinary life.

At the beginning of March, the grass had just popped up, and another batch of calves and lambs had been delivered.

The insects gradually increased, the free-range hens were happy, Zhang Xiaokai also bought a batch of long-haired rabbits from the Internet, and after contacting the manufacturer, they were sent to the door by truck and stocked in the wild.

He likes to raise all kinds of animals, such as peacocks and hens, and lives well in the pasture, just buy and take care of it, eat and drink Lazar by themselves, squirrels, elk, marmots, etc., not to worry, the land under his feet not only supports people, but also animals live very well.

As the river moistens the earth, grass sprouts continue to break through the soil, and the redwood trees, which have been reincarnated for an unknown number of years, also hang tender green branches and leaves one after another.

After the embellishment, the Cleveland ranch gradually became beautiful, and the cattle and sheep began to be driven by the cowboys and scattered on the pastures to eat.

From time to time, I went out and took a helicopter to find Adlina, and in May she took the SAT and seemed to feel better.

If she can really get a relatively high score, she plans to find a university in San Francisco or Oregon, which is closer to Zhang Xiaokai.

has been together for so long, Zhang Xiaokai doesn't know anything about Adlina's usual test results, only that he was not as smart as he was when he was a child, and he was better at working harder.

When the scores came out, I found that they were already very good, and they were a little short of the admission score of Stanford University, but I could think of a way, but there were two Internet companies in Silicon Valley, and I also invested in some Internet companies, although it was not fair, but powerful people can indeed get more.

For the sake of his girlfriend's schooling, he personally went to Silicon Valley, pulled Miss H, the founder of Harvard Restaurant, to find someone to help, and used a donation of $2 million as a bait to successfully help her get a Stanford admission pass.

The saying that money can make the devil grind is also quite practical in the United States.

During the summer vacation of 2016, I took Adlina to Europe and lived in Paris, France for a month, and also traveled to Rome, Athens, London, Munich and other cities, and only rushed back before the start of school in September.

She started going to school, and Zhang Xiaokai continued to go home to stay, lest her father say that the house was too big and it seemed empty to live in.

is a man in his forties, accompanied by Hank, Kenny and other employees on the ranch, and in fact life is not very boring, and Zhang Xiaokai obviously has a generation gap with those people, so his father adapts better than him.

……

It's the end of the year again in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Xiaokai ran on both sides, rented a villa near Stanford, and lived a cohabitation life with his girlfriend in advance.

When there is nothing to do, I will go to parties, help Mike manage the company, etc., and the speed of spending money does not outperform the speed of making money, Harvard Restaurant Company is even more popular, its market value has doubled this year, its taxi-hailing business is competing with Uber, and the number of takeaway users is increasing.

At the suggestion of the financial staff, he also withdrew more than 90 million US dollars from the trust, took a part of the additional financing stocks, and is learning to live like an adult.

As for the old Lanbao couple, now, at the suggestion of Zhang Xiaokai, they have semi-settled in the Cleveland Ranch and lived in a wooden house in the resort, blowing the sea breeze all day long, watching the cattle and sheep, which is a very good day for the elderly.

Two days before Christmas.

Zhang Xiaokai and Adlina rushed back to the Cleveland ranch for the holiday.

The cattle and sheep were sold again, and the quality was the same as before, and the diners around the world easily digested the more than 7,000 beef cattle.

He has pressed too much money on the stock market and trusts, and now he is pursuing stability, and investing in land is more suitable for his ideas.

After talking to my dad a little bit, I went over there together, and after giving a very good price, the other party agreed to come down and prepared to go through the handover procedures after the holiday.

Of course agree, with an increase of about 20 percent from the actual price, the whole estate is not as magical as the Cleveland ranch, and it is possible to lose money at the end of the year.

……

Christmas tree.

Decorated elk, white bears, fat cats.

On Christmas Eve, the two families had a dinner, and the employees also had dinner at the old Gold family's house, and the vacant house was converted into an activity room for the employees' daily leisure.

Eating steak and drinking red wine, during which Daddy Zhang asked, "I went to Hawaii last year, where are you going to go on vacation this year?"??

"Planning to go to Miami, stay for a while and come back. ”

Zhang Xiaokai asked for the opinions of the old Lambers, looked at them and asked: "Otherwise, let's go over together, charter a comfortable private jet, the location of Oregon is neither south nor north, and it is the most uncomfortable to live in winter." ”

"yes, you all went to play, Miami is so famous, you haven't been to it before, have you? Adlina asked with a smile.

Old Mr. Lambaugh nodded, made a decisive decision, and said, "Yes, I remember that the Bahamas is not far away, and that place must be visited while it can still be walked." ”

After the meal, they exchanged gifts, and Adlina bought him a Bugatti, but it would take about three months to send it, and Zhang Xiaokai's gift seemed very distracting, just a necklace.

The relationship is very good, you don't need to care too much, and you don't fall in love because of interests, and you are happy with each other.

At about nine o'clock in the evening, small snowflakes drifted outside the window.

Last year, it snowed twice without retaining snow, but this year it was big and urgent, and the ground quickly saw white ......
