Chapter 10: Recruiting Cowboys

As his own lawyer, it is his obligation to fight for his own interests, otherwise who would hire a lawyer who does not think about his employer, with Lane negotiating for him, how can there be anything not to worry about, Zeng Gong was in this state of mind, holding his arms and watching the play.

"No, no, Mr. Ryan, I think you misunderstood, he wants to buy back the ranch, what do you think of sixty million?" Looking at Ryan's menacing appearance, John broke out in a cold sweat, wiped his forehead with a handkerchief, and said with some apprehension.

"Sixty million? Mr. John, are you kidding, I don't know if you've seen the ranch since the Yellowstone Movement. If you read it, you won't say that, I don't think Mr. Zeng will sell it, even if you bid 70 million now. Mr. Lane glanced at Zeng Gong and said.

"But..." John's final effort was interrupted by Ryan.

"It's nothing, even if your employers are John Malone and Stan Kroenke, we won't sell. Ryan said categorically, "Well, Mr. John, we still have a lot of business to attend to, so I won't bother much." ”

Zeng Gong shook his head and didn't expect Ryan to speak so directly, but this is also good to save being entangled by others, Ryan has something to do, and he has something to do directly, the most important thing is to go to Livingston to recruit cowboys, there can be no shortage of cowboys in the ranch, and Jimmy has to go home.

After saying goodbye to Ryan and Jimmy, Zeng Gong drove back to Livingston, returned the car to the car dealership, and prepared to buy an off-road vehicle for transportation.

"Jack, I want to buy a car for the ranch, what can you introduce?" The owner of the car dealership already knew each other when he rented the car, and he didn't need other cars in the ranch, although Zeng Gong was not a pragmatist, but he still had to consider it here.

"Oh, we have two Ford F150 and F450 here, if you want F650, you need to pre-order, we don't have many people in this town to buy this kind of car. Jack shrugged his shoulders and said a little lazily.

"Just an F450. Zeng Gong thought about the area of his ranch is not small, and he didn't like that kind of small pickup, so he directly chose an F450.

"By the way, Jack, do you know where to recruit cowboys?" Zeng Gong tried to get out of the car, happily wrote a check and said to Jack, he is the head snake here, and he should know everything.

"You can go to Henry's Bar across the street, and all the unemployed cowboys are there, and you can hire good cowboys by talking to the owner of the bar, Henry Sr., and you can tell him that I introduced you." Jack thought for a moment and said.

"Okay, thanks. Zeng Gong said hello to Jack and drove the new car towards the opposite street.

To be honest, the western town of the United States is really small, more than 10,000 people in China is just a slightly larger village, Jack said that the opposite street is only a few steps away, Zeng Gong felt that he was just turning on the fire and extinguishing it, and he arrived at Henry's Bar.

Some of the dilapidated doorways hang a wooden sign, even if it is a signboard, from the inside you can faintly hear the noisy laughter and scolding, with the wild and uninhibited western cowboys, these cowboys in the United States animal husbandry is becoming more and more highly mechanized today, the living space has been severely tested, fortunately, ecological agriculture began to rise, I hope they do not disappear on the earth.

"Would you like a drink?" said old Henry, leaning against the bar and seeing Zeng Gong come in.

"A beer, thank you. Zeng Gong nodded, he was still full of curiosity about the small town bars in the west.

Henry gave Zeng Gong a glass of beer, "Look at your face, are you going to travel along the Bear's Tooth Highway?"

"No, Jack from the street shop across the street said you can hire good cowboys here, and I've just bought two ranches here. Zeng Gong drank the beer in his hand.

"You're the one who bought the Cruze Ranch and the Rhine Ranch?" Henry put down the shaker in his hand and looked at Zeng Gong with some surprise. "The two ranches together are a great big guy, except for the rich people in the east, who can be at the top of the list in Montana. ”

"Hehe, they are now called Qinglian Ranch, Qinglian is the nickname of a great poet in ancient China, I like his poems. Zeng Gong nodded a little proudly, there is no need to be too modest in front of the Americans, maybe they still think you are a bully.

"So what kind of cowboy are you going to look for. Saying that, Henry poured Zeng Gong another glass of beer and asked slowly.

"Well, it's better to have two or three old cowboys with management ability and experience, I'm going to do a comprehensive ranch, and the others can be recruited according to the situation. Zeng Gong thought for a while, his ranch will be indispensable for cowboys in the future, it is best to recruit a few people who can manage cowboys first, and then he will not be in a hurry, after all, he has no experience in this area.

"It takes two or three old cowboys with management experience, let me think about it. "Old Henry rhythmically bangs on the bar, and then at a young man who is farting at somebody else": Nick, call your daddy, Davis, and say there's a cowboy here. ”

The young cowboy waved his hand at old Henry, drank the wine from his glass, and walked out a little staggeringly.

"Jason, Sanders, come here. Old Henry beckoned to the two old cowboys who were playing cards.

The two old cowboys glanced at each other, threw the cards in their hands on the table, swayed over, and asked old Henry, "Henry, is there something wrong?"

"This Mr. Zeng, who is ready to recruit cowboys, needs someone with a lot of experience and management experience, and I think of you, he is the one who bought the Rhine Ranch and the Cruze Ranch. Henry pointed at Zeng Gong and said.

"Those are two great guys, and despite the changes caused by the Yellowstone movement, they still have good ranching, and they need a lot of cowboys, I don't know how many cows you're going to raise. Sanders said with some surprise.

"I'm going to raise 10,000 or 20,000 heads and test the water. Zeng Gong said with a smile: "In the future, it may develop into a comprehensive pasture, maybe grow some rice, wheat, orchards, vegetables, and finally raise some fish or something." ”

"One or twenty thousand cows, and four or five cowboys, a mixed ranch? Jason used to run a farm, he should be able to do it, and Davis can do the orchard. Sanders nodded, he had no opinion on the development of a comprehensive ranch at all, Zeng Gong was the boss, and he had the final say.

As for the treatment, Zeng Gong is ready to give the three old cowboys a weekly salary of 500 US dollars, insurance or something else, the other cowboys have a weekly salary of 400 US dollars, and the three old cowboys are involved in management after all, I believe that the other cowboys will not have any opinions.

After the old Davis came, the three of them discussed how to hire five cowboys first, including Davis and Jason's sons, Johnny and David, and the other two were Crawford with a full beard, Mark with a goatee and Mexican blood, both of them were middle-aged people in the prime of life, according to Sanders, they could be trained to be on their own, and the last one was the cowgirl Diana.

"There is only the F450 I just bought in the ranch now, you see what else you need to buy, make a list, it's not early today, can you start working tomorrow, we will make a big purchase at that time." Zeng Gong looked at the members recruited by the three people and nodded, there were old, middle-aged and young people, and the arrangement was completely reasonable.

The three of them glanced at it and said that there was no problem, and then Zeng Gong said goodbye to the three of them and drove towards his own ranch, which could not leave people now.

By the afterglow of the sunset, Zeng Gong returned to the pasture, the first thing was to tear off a few vines from the space, and planted two key positions in the pasture, what surprised him even more was that these vines seemed to have some mysterious connection with the space, and they didn't need to take water from the space at all, they could completely adjust the water consumption of the space, which was simply intelligent. For this reason, Zeng Gong woke up several times in his sleep with laughter.
