"Hello Mr. Zeng, welcome to this State Ranch Auction. Zeng Gong entered the Billings Convention Center with an invitation from the state government in hand, and was greeted by the Montana Secretary of Agriculture, who presided over the meeting.

"Hello Mr. Kohler, I wish you a successful auction. Zeng Gong shook Minister Kohler's hand cordially with a faint smile on his face.

"I hope so. Minister Kohler had a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, this financial crisis is much more serious than imagined, and he is too optimistic about the practice of auctioning state ranches, and the rich people invited through various channels have determined that less than 60% of them will participate in this auction, as the host of this time, Kohler feels Alexander.

Zeng Gong knew what Kohler was worried about, but these had nothing to do with him, as long as he got the land he liked when the time came, and after a few words of greeting with Kohler, Zeng Gong went to his place under the guidance of the waiter.

Zeng Gong took a glass of red wine from the tray of the passing waiter, shook it lightly a few times, and the faint aroma of gooseberries diffused from the red wine, which seemed to carry the smell of California from the ocean.

"Hi, hello sir, are you also participating in this auction?" John Malone suddenly walked over from the adjacent table, although his hair was full of silver threads, he was still in good spirits, and sat down next to Zeng Gong as if he was familiar, and asked curiously.

Zeng Gong nodded, of course he came here to buy land. Could it be that you are traveling here, frowning slightly, Zeng Gong did not speak.

"Hey. Man, which piece of land do you have your eye on?" John Malone didn't want to give up and continued to talk to Zeng Gong. Turning a blind eye to Zeng Gong's small movements.

"I want to buy every piece of land that the state government auctions. Zeng Gong said impatiently, he didn't want to expose his goal to others, although the state government has promised to trade blueberry mountains and forests alone, but he is also very interested in other land, hoping to be able to buy it, which is also one of the deals made by the state government and Zeng Gong.

"Hey, young man, I just don't want to conflict with you, and your Qinglian Ranch is very good. My name is John Malone. John Malone said with a smile, a little gleam in his somewhat cloudy eyes.

"Are you John Malone, the person who owns the most land in the United States?" Zeng Gong looked at John Malone in surprise, but he didn't expect this ordinary old guy to be the largest landowner and media tycoon in the United States.

John Malone touched his nose, his ruddy face flashed with excitement, and he enjoyed Zeng Gong's title very much, "Everyone calls me that, how can you tell me that you have taken a fancy to that land? How?"

Zeng Gong sighed and pointed to the approximately 30,000 acres of land located in the Beartooth Wasteland of Absaroka, which is adjacent to the Qinglian Ranch, which can be said to be on the edge of the Qinglian Ranch microclimate. It is the birthplace of the five tributaries of the Yellowstone River and the Boulder River, and there are many large and small lakes here, according to incomplete statistics, there are about 300 lakes here. More than half of them are saltwater lakes, and there are also numerous salt lakes and well salt lakes. The other is about 5,000 acres in Paradise Valley. It is a fertile land that has been hit by the Yellowstone River, and it is rich in water resources. It is a good place to grow rice.

"Young man, your gaze is vicious. John Malone said with a smile on his face, silently giving up the five thousand acres of land in Paradise Valley.

Zeng Gong smiled, pointed to the map provided by the state government and said, "Mr. Ma Long, it's not my vision is good, you see that the land here is just connected to my Qinglian Ranch, and other places don't border, it's very troublesome to manage, I don't have so much thought." ”

"Anyway, you have a good vision, it seems that we can be neighbors in the future. John Malone pointed to a piece of land about 20,000 acres upstream of the 5,000 acres of land in Paradise Valley, which Zeng Gong had selected, and said with a smile.

Zeng Gong was noncommittal, John Malone, this old guy's vision is very accurate, and he can grasp other people's minds very well, and he owes favors without a trace, naked conspiracy, even if it is a trap, he has to jump down, John Malone almost told Zeng Gong through the outline on the map that he owed a favor.

"Mr. Ma Long, your eyes are also very sharp, the place you choose is a rare good place to develop animal husbandry or agriculture in the future, and the scenery is also very good, it is definitely a pleasant thing to live here for a few months every year. Zeng Gong complimented, the sedan chair carries people, and the people have generously given up 5,000 acres of land for themselves.

Maybe John Malone chatted very happily today, and actually began to grab Zeng Gong and walk around the entire venue, introducing familiar friends to Zeng Gong, his solemn attitude made his friends a little strange, but soon the words Qinglian Ranch came out of the crowd, and everyone suddenly realized, without John Malone's introduction, many people began to be enthusiastic, after all, a guy who is infinitely close to the top ten ranches in the United States, the new rich man in the United States, should not be underestimated.

Anyway, before the auction opened, there were countless private phone calls, and the enthusiasm of these rich people did not gradually dissipate until the auction began.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have the privilege of having Mr. Cheeks, one of the few white-glove Blairs at Christie's, to preside over the state ranch land auction for us in the midst of his busy schedule. Minister Kohler stepped up to the podium and coughed lightly, giving a few brief introductory words.

Minister Kohler stepped down from the stage, and out of the curtain came a thin old man about sixty years old, wearing a bow tie and a white shirt, with bright eyes and white gloves on his hands.

"Ahem, I believe you have just looked at the land provided by the state government, a total of twenty-four, and each piece also indicates the reserve price, you should know about the discipline of the auction, I won't be verbose here, let's get to the point, auction No. 1 ranch. Mr. Blair coughed lightly and said lightly to the guests.

"Ranch No. 1, 5,000 acres, is located on the shores of Lake Flathead, enjoys a large amount of water rights in Lake Flathead and the Flathead River, the terrain is gentle, the pasture is excellent, and after the auction is successful, you can raise cattle in the pasture without spending a lot of money to improve the pasture, including 4,500 acres of pasture, and the other 500 acres can be used as farmland, and the fertile black soil is suitable for the growth of crops, the reserve price is 40 million US dollars, and the price increase cannot be less than 5,000 US dollars. Blair picked up the information of Ranch No. 1 and talked eloquently, briefly recounting the news of Ranch No. 1. (To be continued.) )
