"Wheat beer?" Zeng Gong was slightly stunned and said, "This is not your character, why did you change to white beer?

"Hehe, isn't Montana preparing to hold a beer festival, and now it's starting to warm up, and brands from all over the world are flocking to it, how can the Germans, as the number one consumer of beer, be willing to be left behind. Joe said with a grin that the most important point is that each seller has invariably lowered the price.

"Isn't Oktoberfest held every year in Denver, why is it in Montana this year?"

Montana is not a good place to hold such a grand event, with a population of more than one million people not at all worthy of the fourth largest area in the United States, and it is dominated by agriculture and animal husbandry, except for some ranchers who have spare money, everyone else's spending power is really not high, I really don't know what the organizers think.

"It's not like Montana's tourism industry has been developing well in recent years, and we have Yellowstone and the Bear's Tooth Mountains in the background. The Flathead National Forest and Glacier National Park in the northwest and the Badlands Park in the east are the first choices for many tourists, so the Montana state government lobbied brewers and tour operators to organize this large-scale, pan-Rocky Mountain Oktoberfest. ”

Through Joe's explanation, Zeng Gong saw the determination of the Montana state government to open up new bases at a time when the traditional agriculture and animal husbandry industry continued to be sluggish, and tourism was one of their goals, and the propaganda was also very strong, and even some Montana people in the House of Representatives and the Senate began to call for funding for Montana.

"What? Are you going to start a ranch tour on the eve of Oktoberfest?" Zeng Gong seemed to understand the intention of this gathering, but it had nothing to do with him.

"Yes, it's an opportunity, but we'd like to ask you to join us. Joe smiled and nodded, Oktoberfest was definitely a great opportunity.

"I'm sorry, Joe, I can't promise you, and even if I did, my ranch is not suitable for ranch tourism at this stage. Zeng Gong shook his head and directly rejected Qiao's proposal.

"Hehe, it didn't matter, we weren't going to include your ranch in it, as long as you opened the mountains on the border of the ranch and invested some money. ”

Qiao and a few of their partners didn't want Zeng Gong to join them, Qinglian Ranch was a super giant compared to their ranch, and joining in would go against their original intentions, what would they be when the time came? It would be better to have an investor, the kind that doesn't specifically manage affairs.

"Why are you still short of funds now?" Zeng Gong asked strangely.

You must know that almost all of them have been running ranches here for generations, the longest has a history of more than 100 years, they have a wide range of contacts, and their loans are high-quality loans, I believe that it should be easy to get a loan in the bank, and there is no need to pull another partner.

"We still have a part of the funding gap, and the bank has not agreed to our loan. Joe said with annoyance.

As a result of the subprime mortgage crisis, banks have also become cautious about lending, and this year they have not repaid their loans, and banks have restricted them from lending in the name of companies.

"Then how much are you missing?" Zeng Gong asked, if the gap was not big, he could lend them a favor temporarily, so that they could owe him a favor.

"We're still 300,000 dollars short. Joe calculated the current liquidity within the company and gave a more cautious figure.

"300,000 US dollars?" Zeng Gong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "I can lend you this money temporarily, as for the ranch tourism, I will not participate in the ranch tourism, I can open the mountains on the border, but you must be optimistic that tourists cannot climb into my ranch, otherwise it is easy to misunderstand." ”

"You're not participating?" Qiao looked at Zeng Gong in surprise.

In the United States, people like them will not borrow money, they will inject money into it, and in the future, a steady stream of profits will continue to fly into their pockets, but they never expected that Zeng Gong would be an alternative, with a promising investment and indifferent.

"Yes, at the moment I have no interest in ranch tourism. Zeng Gong said lightly.

In fact, it is not that Zeng Gong is not interested, but the tourism he developed is high-end tourism, but it is not open to ordinary people, only those top white-collar workers and gold-collar workers can afford to consume, and the high-end of Qinglian Ranch is worthy of Zeng Gong's development, but this will not be carried out after the establishment of the water system of Qinglian Ranch.

"Okay, how about the money we borrowed from you, and the interest rate of the bank is twenty percent higher?" Although Qiao was surprised by Zeng Gong's decision, he didn't feel strange, and immediately launched the second set of plans they discussed.

"Okay. Zeng Gong actually didn't want to charge any interest, but who hates money, not to mention that he deserves it.

"Hehe, you are really a good person, will you participate in this beer festival?"

The problem of money was solved, and the atmosphere of the chat immediately became enthusiastic, Williams raised his wine glass, took a big sip, and talked to Zeng Gong about the Oktoberfest with a smile.

"I don't know when or where Oktoberfest will take place. Zeng Gong said innocently.

"Hehe, I'm sorry, I forgot just now, the Oktoberfest is going to be held in Helena, and the time is the fifth of next month. Williams said with some embarrassment.

"Next month? Zeng Gong shook his head and said noncommittally.

He will most likely not have time next month, if Master Li Goudan arrives at Qinglian Ranch, then all kinds of surveying and mapping will be very busy, and he can't leave as the master.

・・・・・・

"Zeng, when will I be able to leave?" Zeng Gong returned to the ranch with a slight drunkenness, and was directly blocked by Wade at the door.

"Are you back in Miami, how are you learning cattle herding skills?" Zeng Gong said and he didn't care, directly avoiding Wade's question.

"I've become a good cowboy, but what's the use of that, I'm basketball by profession and I have my work ethic. Wade said helplessly. In fact, Parker Riley has called him several times, urging him to return to the team as soon as possible, but he has politely turned down on the grounds that he has not fully recovered from the injury.

"That's it, since your cowboy skills have been mastered, you go fishing in Yunmengze first, relax for a few days, and we will enter the next round of treatment immediately. In fact, Zeng Gong asked Wade to herd cattle purely to condition his body, and he couldn't be in a state of tension all the time, which was not conducive to his recovery at all.

"Fishing?" (To be continued.) )
