Chapter 94: A Breath of Fresh Water Among the Rich

For Daddy Zhang.

The Cleveland Ranch isn't a place where you can take occasional breaks and spend the rest of your days wandering.

The same is true for Zhang Xiaokai.

So father and son went to great lengths to make it even more beautiful.

After seeing the beautiful gardens in Switzerland on the Internet, they also started to renovate them, and when the weather was cooler, they planned to transplant trees and flowers, enclose the red house, and use a piece of land to create flower fields and orchards.

As long as it doesn't violate laws and regulations, you can transform your own land as much as you want.

The construction team has entered the Golden Ranch, and the river and road drawings have been planned, which do not need to be wide, just enough, and a piece of land has been specially set aside to build some wooden houses for the old employees of the Golden Ranch, saving time to waste time on round-trip traffic.

After expansion.

The signboard of the Gold Ranch has been torn down and a new batch of fences have been custom-made from the lumber mill, and now the ranch under Zhang Xiaokai's name is home to mountains and seas, woods, meadows and rivers.

The sky is always beautiful by the sea, and in August the redwoods are lush and the pastures are growing so well that they are harvested before they wither.

Compressed into rectangular shapes by machines, stacked in the open to dry, and wild boars hiding in the cornfields, these ferocious "little land tanks" are very fertile and can hunt one or two from time to time for a change of taste.

It's been a while since I came back from Harvard.

The biggest achievement during this period was to spend money to take over the Gold Ranch, which he likes to visit when he has nothing to do lately, and the ranch has become bigger, which means that it takes more time to drive around.

After returning home, the whole person became listless, in a relaxed and free state, and there was no money trouble, and the worries in life were reduced by more than 95% at once.

Living at home is more like a long-term vacation, and there is no sense of dazed living in a different place, Zhang Xiaokai thinks this is very good, and he has no idea of going far away in the short term.

This is just an adult, and sometimes I already have the idea that I can see the head at a glance in my life, and I don't worry about anything, and I don't have the joy of excitement and ecstasy, and I am in a state of Buddhist life, and I can help if I want to, and lie at home if I don't want to go, and it's a new day in the blink of an eye.

Almost two months ago, Mike Wang took a sum of money from him to invest in bitcoin together, and if it weren't for this guy's call today, Zhang Xiaokai would have even forgotten about it.

After all, he doesn't even care about the Harvard restaurant project, and he hasn't paid attention to the rise and fall of the stock of that listed company for a long time, so how can he care about this smaller company.

Lying in his bed, before he woke up from a nap, his mobile phone was in his ear.

He didn't hear what Mike had said, only that he had made 12 percent of his money, and that he had bought a ready-made bitcoin trading site and was going to go to Silicon Valley in California to continue his business.

The other party said very seriously, Zhang Xiaokai, the salted fish, was just staring at the ceiling in a daze, thinking about how a fly ran in the room, and how to kill it.

When Mike Wang asked him to go to Silicon Valley together, Zhang Xiaokai said decisively: "I don't understand anything, you can ask someone to help yourself, to be honest, until now, I still haven't been able to figure out what Bitcoin is, and I have time to come to me as a guest." Huh, help...... Oh, I still have something to do, hang up first. ”

self-directed and self-acted, hung up the phone casually, slept fully, and continued to lie down in a daze.

Some people are not satisfied with money, they are bent on utilitarian fame, and that kind of life is very combative, and he only thinks that it is good now.

The money is enough to spend, and the trust was originally going to give him a sum of money, and the stipulation was to divide the money after adulthood, but Zhang Xiaokai didn't ask for it a few days ago, and decided to continue to invest in the account, waiting for dividends to eat interest, if the funds themselves appreciate, it would be better.

In line with the idea that it is good to use enough, I don't think that this salted fish-like rhythm of life is worse than anyone else, compared to investing to make more money, Zhang Xiaokai hopes to keep the wealth he has now, so he doesn't blink his eyes when he spends more than 30 million US dollars to buy land, after all, the land will not be suddenly gone, but the money in the stock market will.

The current life has long exceeded the expectations of a few years ago, and there is nothing to be satisfied with.

Check the stock price of Harvard Restaurant, well, it has risen seven points in the past two months, saying that it has acquired a taxi program company, and it has also begun to contact theater companies to sell movie tickets online.

This means that there are more than 10 million US dollars of book wealth, and most of them are praised by reading the reports, but some rating companies have questioned it, saying that the acquisition has consumed the already small amount of capital reserves, and they are worried about a liquidity crisis and so on.

The praise remarks are the same, Zhang Xiaokai mainly looks at the criticism, not caring does not mean that he does not care, a share worth more than 200 million US dollars is in that company, nothing should really be known more.

Flip through the news.

Unexpectedly, in a bunch of news, I saw a report related to me, with the title "The Road to Success for Underage Harvard Chinese Business Geniuses".

I was interested in going in and taking a look, and I couldn't help but laugh.

The editor attributed the success of the investment in the "My Racing Game" game and the Harvard restaurant project to Zhang Xiaokai, and even said:

With a long-term vision, he began to invest in Internet companies such as Apple and Amazon in 2010, and successively increased his holdings and made hundreds of millions of dollars, including a Cleveland Ranch in Oregon that produces top beef.

According to calculations, the total worth is more than 600 million US dollars, and the Cleveland ranch alone can bring him more than 20 million US dollars of wealth every year (the data comes from the financial report of Wal-Mart, which is the largest purchaser of beef and mutton on Cleveland ranch), and the wealth is mainly distributed in the stock market, trust, real estate and other fields......"

If you count the Cleveland Ranch, Zhang Xiaokai feels that he is worth about the same as this number, and even more.

However, when you see people touting themselves like this, you can't help but feel awkward, staying in a simple little world for too long, and you are not used to standing in the spotlight.

After searching for his name on his mobile phone, he was surprised to find that there were more than 40,000 related links.

This explains why the number of fans on the Facebook account has risen so fast, Zhang Xiaokai used to think that they were all book friends, and it seems that he is self-inflicted.

Occasionally, he would post some beautiful pastures and animal pictures, which was a breath of fresh air among the young and rich.

He is not a qualified writer, but he has won some small awards and does not have many fans, but he is often referred to by people who write some thank-you letters to him.

Zhang Xiaokai is not a qualified businessman, but the speed of making money is enough to make many entrepreneurs who are hungry for money desperate, and he is already rich if he is not careful.

In his own opinion, it's just a quiet life, just like recently, it's not staying at home, playing games, and life is not even as interesting as those ordinary people who have ideals and drive......
