The crossbow was bought, Emperor Wu didn't plan to hide it, he hung the 380 crossbow in a conspicuous position on the wall of the living room, and the color of the wood paint was still very harmonious with the whole living room.

Ms. Caitlyn called and told Emperor Wu that all the formalities had been completed and that from now on, the South Australian Ranch and Rose Lake belonged to his private domain.

With the government's approval, we can finally start working on the pasture! Australia is very strict in managing land, and if you don't have an approval, you can be arrested and educated for a few days.

The pasture has not been taken care of for three years, the pasture has long become a wild grassland, and a lot of miscellaneous wild grasses have grown, and these glamorous goods have made rye grass, alfalfa grass, red and white clover, which are the extinct species of the main palace lady, coupled with the help of the hares, which has made the whole grassland people miserable, and it is time to renovate the grassland inside and out.

Early in the morning, the roar of birds of prey shatters the tranquility of Pelican Town.

Emperor Wu found an agricultural company called "Wenfei", which was a small business owned by a Chinese, whose main business was to collect money to eliminate disasters for others, collect money from ranchers, renovate the land, harvest pasture, transfer livestock, and so on.

There are many such agricultural service companies in Australia, and the service targets are small and medium-sized farms and ranches that do not have a lot of manpower, and large landowners like House Manor have their own harvesting teams and do not need to spend money on people.

As a result, hard-working and intelligent Chinese in Australia saw this business opportunity, and most of the employees hired were from South Asia and India, and they demanded lower salaries.

The boss of "Wenfei" is called Lu Zhikang, who originally opened a button factory in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and after hearing that Emperor Wu was Chinese, he took the initiative to give a six-fold discount.

Although the Chinese in Australia account for 5% of the total population, Lu Zhikang is very excited to meet the Chinese in the vast and sparsely populated Australia, especially in a suburban town like Pelican Town.

The two first tasted the authentic West Lake Longjing in his small store, and then tasted the famous muffin cake he brought from ZJ, Boss Lu is a very conservative person, he still has noodles and steamed buns every day, and he is not used to eating Australian cold dishes.

Boss Lu told Emperor Wu that he had immigrated to Australia for nearly 20 years, and he was the first generation of Chinese immigrants in Australia. At the beginning, the domestic business was sluggish and owed foreign debts, so he could only sell the factory to pay off the debts, and when he first came, there was nothing here, such as going to the Great Northern Wilderness to reclaim, he worked as a miner, sheared wool and even worked as a pipeline dredging worker, wearing heavy protective clothing and jumping into the sea of garbage.

"When the rich come to Australia, they enter paradise, everything here is at their fingertips, ten times more comfortable than in China, especially in Pelican Town, when you have nothing to do, it is recommended that you drive to the beach for a vacation, bring a bottle of red wine, the beach in XN is really beautiful. Boss Lu introduced the local life to Emperor Wu as a person who came over, "I recommend you to go to Steyn Esplanade and ride a bicycle to feel the afternoon sunshine in Australia." ”

Emperor Wu listened attentively, "As you said, I want to go to the beach to bask in the sun now, buy a seaside villa over there, and raise birds for a walk every day, haha." ”

"It's a wise choice to run a ranch, and if you think about it, the endless land is all your private property, which is simply not possible in the country. ”

The two laughed, and although the age difference was nearly 30 years, they had a good chat, and they talked until his youngest son got up and went to school.

"Boss Lu, the grassland of my ranch has been abandoned for three years, and renovation is a big project that may require a lot of manpower. ”

Boss Lu said with a smile: "Xiao Wu, I understand the structure of Nanao Ranch, when Mr. Hans operated, we were always responsible for land renovation and pasture harvesting, and it was rumored that Mr. Hans had a very strange temper, but in my eyes he was a good person, and my small company was just established to rely on the orders he solicited to survive the financial crisis." ”

Emperor Wu drove the landing boss back to the ranch to check the situation.

When he arrived at the wooden house, Boss Lu looked at the messy grass and felt a little regretful, "The impact of the 06 US financial crisis on Australia's animal husbandry is not small, we no longer have the pricing power of beef, and those buyers have pushed the price very low, even below the cost, and many ranches in western Australia are unable to repay their loans and are forced to go bankrupt." ”

Boss Lu pointed to an empty space not far away and said: "I clearly remember that it was there, Mr. Hans gathered together the large and small business owners, farmers and ranchers in the town, and he called on everyone to set up an industrial association and recommend representatives to negotiate loans with banks. ”

"Mr. Hans is such a great man, and then I heard that House Manor had bought a number of bankrupt farms and ranches at a high price. Emperor Wu asked. , snorted, "Brother House, do you think they are bodhisattvas?

Lu Zhikang's emotions were very excited, and his voice trembled a little.

"No, I heard that the House brothers' popularity is not bad, and people think that they saved the livestock industry in Pelican Town, is there any evidence for your judgment?" Emperor Wu handed him a glass of water, and Boss Lu raised his head and drank it all.

Boss Lu shook his head and muttered in a low voice, "I'm just speculating." ”

Emperor Wu patted him on the shoulder, "I will deal with the House brothers sooner or later, and the truth of these things will come out sooner or later." ”

After turning around the grass twice, Boss Lu took a pen and wrote something seriously on the list.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, and I'm glad to mention Mr. Hans, and I'll send someone over to clean it up as soon as possible. ”

"Then I'm bothering you, how long will it take?" asked Emperor Wu.

"It will take two days at the earliest, and I will arrange for three locomotives to come over. Boss Lu said.

The efficiency is quite high, and in Emperor Wu's plan, he wants to buy back the cattle within a week.

The buildings on the ranch are basically fine, and the main cattle pens are badly damaged in some places and need to be repaired.

Throughout the day, Emperor Wu ran around various places in Pelican Town, and in the afternoon, the tired and paralyzed Emperor Wu parked his car under the big eucalyptus tree to rest.

The second-class koala was still holding the branch in a daze, occasionally moving to prove that he was still alive.

Emperor Wu was about to squint and fall asleep when he was woken up by a hoarse voice.

"Sorry sir, disturbing your sleep, are you the new owner of this ranch?"

Emperor Wu got up from the saddle and rubbed his eyes.

The two are a man and a woman, around fifty years old, not tall, the woman is slightly fat, typical Australian, and does not look like a bad person.

"Yes, I am, what, is there something wrong?"

The middle-aged couple looked at each other and smiled, and the man spoke: "When Mr. Hans was still alive, the two of us were his employees, and Mr. Hans was a kind person who helped us a lot. ”

They said that they were the former Nanao ranch workers, and Emperor Wu was suspicious, and he had not seen them when he worked in the ranch, but he had heard Mr. Hans mention that they were a small ranch and did not plan to recruit people, but the original two employees were going to take care of their granddaughter and took a three-month leave, which happened to be filled by Emperor Wu for those three months.

Emperor Wu opened the door and got out of the car, and stretched out his right hand to the two of them, "Oh, I heard Mr. Hans mention it, so you are Mr. Benjamin?"

"No, no, no, I'm Frank and this is my wife, Rachel. After the man finished speaking, he took out a few photos, which were photos of the two of them and the Hans couple.

In fact, Emperor Wu knew that they were Frank and Rachel, and deliberately made up a Benjamin to bluff him.

"I am Emperor Wu. He took out two bottles of water from the car and handed them to the two old men, and when Frank received the water, Emperor Wu saw that his hands were calloused and the result of years of farm work.

"Mr. Wu, you should make the ranch like before, with herds of cattle and sheep, right? Frank said.

Emperor Wu crossed his hands on his hips and nodded, "That's right, this is the reason why I took over the ranch, you know, the scenery here is good, and there is a lake." ”

Frank's words are a bit exaggerated, this palm-sized ranch has never been a magnificent sight of herds of cattle and sheep, and at most there are thirty Angus beef steaks.

Frank took a sip of water, narrowed his small eyes, and said with a smile, "Then I guess you must need two milking connoisseurs." ”

Going around and around, the couple wanted to work on the ranch, and Emperor Wu was amused by Frank's detours, Emperor Wu had no experience in farming and livestock at all, which he couldn't ask for.

"yes, that's right, to be honest, I don't know anything but bragging. ”

Mr. and Mrs. Frank laughed, a hearty smile that showed a mouthful of healthy teeth.

Previously, Mr. Downey offered them a weekly salary of $1,000 each, but Emperor Wu decided to increase it to $1,500 for them, after all, the couple had been working on the ranch for nearly a decade.

"You can live here then, I'm too empty. Emperor Wu said.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I still have to wash my granddaughter's diapers every day, she is a little girl who can't sleep when she changes places. Rachel mentions her granddaughter with love in her eyes.

The two live in Pelican Town, and their usual means of transportation is an old Chevrolet sedan, and their son and daughter-in-law work in XN City, and they go home twice a week, and the children are taken by the elderly.

Emperor Wu said: "You can bring her over to play during the day, there are all kinds of small animals here, I believe she will like it." ”

"Thank you, Wu, I didn't expect you to be such a kind person, God, please bless him. ”

Rachel was a devout Catholic. After the happy old couple left, Emperor Wu remembered the recruitment of employees, he had no clue, let's take one step at a time.

Emperor Wu opened the window in the car and closed his eyes to recuperate, only to hear a grunt! The second cargo koala fell from the skylight.

Woooooooooooooooo

Emperor Wu looked back, these two goods were like a frightened bird, rolling in the back row, and the seats were full of paw prints, but fortunately, the seat was thick and not scratched.

Emperor Wu slapped his slap heavily, and the koala stood still, looking at Emperor Wu blankly, with his two paws standing on his chest, and his furry appearance was very cute.

The thing seemed to be thinking, "Hey, I think I've seen this thing somewhere." ”

Emperor Wu slapped again, the sound was louder than just now, and the goods slid directly down the back seat.

Poof!

It fell to the ground like a cotton ball and whined.

Emperor Wu couldn't bear to look at it directly, it was a shame in the koala world.

Emperor Wu opened the back door, and the goods climbed the tree on the ground, and he was a nerd again.
