283. First Joy and then Sorrow: Etiquette for Soldiers

Before leaving, Emperor Wu still talked to Landley about the sale of the farm.

Landley said it was the family's only property, and they were currently owed $80,000 in loans to the bank and that they had gone bankrupt.

According to the normal procedure, the grizzly bear farm will be repossessed by the bank and re-auctioned, and the price will definitely be much higher than it is now.

If Emperor Wu wants to take over, the 80,000 yuan loan will be passed on to him, and he will repay the debts of the farm, which sounds a bit like a big wrong, but in fact, this wave is not a loss at all.

"Mr. Wu, we really hope that you can take over the farm, if it falls into the hands of the auctioneer, I am afraid that this place will be razed to the ground. Landley said with mixed feelings.

On the one hand, he was very reluctant to run the small estate he had run for several years, and on the other hand, he was worried about where the family would go after selling the farm.

Emperor Wu had a general understanding of the grizzly bear farm, although it was not large, it had all the functions it should have, and there was even a flower room full of roses.

That rose garden was Emperor Wu's favorite, but most of it had withered due to water quality problems.

Selling roses was also one of the sources of income for the Landley family, whose family was very interested in rose cultivation, which Emperor Wu valued.

"To be honest, I'm interested in your farm. ”

Hearing Emperor Wu's words, Landley breathed a sigh of relief.

"But the situation is not good right now, and I need to know the specific situation before I can make plans. Emperor Wu said.

Landley thought that Emperor Wu was worried about the price, so he hurriedly said: "This farm is only sold for 600,000 yuan, which is enough for our family to rent a house, and I will go to the city to find a stable job when the time comes." ”

Emperor Wu smiled, he was not worried about the price.

600,000 is a decent price, according to the normal market value estimate, Grizzly Bear Farm can reach more than 1 million, but now Landley just wants to repay the bank loan as soon as possible to solve the coal burning emergency.

"Mr. Landley, what are your plans after moving off the farm? ”

"As I said, go to the city for a while, and if that doesn't work out, we'll go to the desert of Western Australia and buy a small farm and continue to live a life of herding cattle and sheep. ”

Emperor Wu could tell that Landley didn't have any reliable plans, and there was no way to do it, a damn plague ruined their lives.

The cowboys seem to be chic, but in fact, they live a life of eating the last meal without the next meal, and they will encounter a big hole one day, so that all the previous beauty will disappear.

When the transfer agreement was signed the next day, the women of the Landley family were in tears, and the men were strong.

The moment he signed it, his family closed their eyes.

Emperor Wu asked him, "Uncle Landley, do you like this farm?"

"Of course, we planted every flower and grass here with our own hands, and who doesn't like their own home." ”

"Then would you like to leave?" asked Emperor Wu again.

Landley glanced at his wife and children behind him, then turned around and said, "We will fulfill the contract and move out of the farm within three days." ”

"I believe that you and your family are honest and reliable people, so I have a request now if you can continue to live here instead of going to the deserted city of Western Australia. Emperor Wu said with a smile.

They didn't understand what it meant, and they looked confused.

"What is this?" asked Landley.

Emperor Wu left his seat, walked among their families, and said to everyone, "I want you to stay on Grizzly Bear Farm and continue to run here." As you know, I've always paid my employees very well. ”

Landley's eldest son couldn't help but scream, something he had been thinking about last night, he had tried to convince his father to join the South Australian Cowboys, but Landley found it difficult to speak up.

Now the new owner of the grizzly bear farm has taken the initiative to speak, which makes the family excited.

"Oh God, I didn't expect you to be willing to take me in this old bone. Landley held Emperor Wu's hand tightly.

"Not to mention taking in, I'm short on manpower, and you just happen to be capable. ”

"A former member of the 9th Garrison Brigade of the Australian Army pays tribute to you. Randley gave a sudden salute.

"It turns out that you are also a veteran, and you and Turks should have a lot in common, he is a former SASR member and the team leader of the raid on Baghdad. ”

"Cool, it seems to be a macho man. ”

That way, the Landley family didn't have to move, they could still live here, and as a token of appreciation, Landley only charged $450,000 in farm transfer fees.

There were six adults in the Landley family, and since the Grizzly Bear Farm didn't have much work, Emperor Wu planned to pay three people.

The family will receive $4,500 a week, and their net salary is about $230,000 a year, which is twice what they earned when they ran their own business.

If Emperor Wu is happy one day, he will reward tens of thousands of yuan, and they will live a very nourishing life all year round.

In this way, Grizzly Bear Ranch is equivalent to an autonomous region of the "South Australian Empire", and Emperor Wu gave the Landley family a high degree of autonomy, and they only need to report to Emperor Wu every few days on the farm.

A high degree of autonomy is not complete autonomy, and some important decisions still have to be made by Emperor Wu.

His long-term plan was to seize the pricing power of Sini's beef, so that there would be a sufficient number of high-quality beef cattle.

Australia has strict land carrying requirements, with strict rules on how many cattle can be kept per acre.

The distant ranch and South Australia are all top-stocked, and if they want to continue to expand their scale, they can only take the route of annexation and acquisition.

Grizzly Bear Farm can raise about 400 cattle in the field, which can be said to be a test field, and if the results are good, there will definitely be more unsustainable farms and ranches that want to join the South Australian team.

Emperor Wu felt like he was engaged in a production cooperative, so he simply abolished the weekly salary system and adopted a share of the work, and received money according to the work at the end of each month.

What was abolished after the reform and opening up will be restored by Emperor Wu in the advanced country of Australia!

Or similar to the American confederation system, each state is autonomous, and Emperor Wu is located in the federal government.

Of course, these are just when Emperor Wu was idle and bored, imagining his huge ranch empire.

The people here are very self-conscious, and they won't easily lose their land unless they are devastated, as in the case of Grizzly Farm.

Watching the cattle and sheep that I had worked so hard to raise die but not being able to do anything was a very bad and powerless feeling.

In the past few days after Edmund's test results came out, half of Pelican Town knew about the mass burning of cattle and sheep carcasses at Grizzly Bear Farm, which caused a lot of panic.

Some do-gooders say it's a man-made disaster, a zombie virus that is spreading among humans, but the person who said it has been arrested by the police.

For a period of time, most of the rumors were spread by young people who had nothing to do. Fortunately, the residents of Pelican Town have a certain self-discernment ability to the rumors, and they did not follow the foolishness.

But just one day later, terrible news came out.

Two cows from a slaughterhouse six kilometers away from the grizzly bear farm died unexplained, and an autopsy revealed that the internal organs were also black and pitch-black.

The owner of the slaughterhouse believed that the burning of carcasses at the grizzly bear farm polluted the air, causing his cattle to breathe unclean air.

This accusation is untenable, and if the air could spread the virus, the farms around the grizzly bear farm would be affected.

That afternoon, several environmental agencies entered the farm, and Landley was taken away by the police for questioning.

Emperor Wu also attracted their attention as the transferee.
