"Hey, Joe, why are you here? Early in the morning, Zeng Gong greeted the dusty Qiao in the living room.
Now Joe's ranch has become famous in Montana, and because of the Qinglian Ranch, the best fishing spots along the Yellowstone River have decreased, and fishing in his ranch has also risen, with good service and simplicity, not only the source of tourists brought by Qian Hui, but also the travel experts and fishing enthusiasts in the United States have set his ranch as one of the tourist destinations, and the busy life has made several old cowboys exude a second spring.
"Isn't it because of you?" Qiao glanced at Zeng Gong resentfully, drinking the coffee handed over by Elena, his eyes flashing with ambiguity.
"Me?" Zeng Gong looked at him suspiciously.
It doesn't seem to have anything to do with it, although the two families are only separated by the road, they have been busy with their own affairs recently, and they rarely even get through on the phone.
"Do you know, recently some tourists know that our next door is the largest contiguous ranch in the United States, and the scenery is beautiful, they all want to visit your ranch, you can rest assured that the price is negotiable, the cost will be settled separately with the customer, except for some necessary costs, the income will belong to you, what do you think?" Qiao rubbed his hands and looked at Zeng Gong nervously, hoping to get an answer he expected.
Zeng Gong shook his head, receiving tourists?
Qinglian Ranch will be open to the public, but not now, nor ordinary tourists, but some high-end tourists, such as some politicians and stars, chaebol families, in short, some upper-class figures, ordinary tourists are not his choice, at least they will not compete with Joe.
"Joe, you know that my ranch is working on a water project, and two wineries are on the agenda, so it's not easy to pick up tourists, at least not for a year or two. Zeng Gong explained euphemistically.
Joe was a little lost.
"Haha, I knew you guy would refuse, okay, I'll go back, those old guys aren't too busy. Qiao suddenly smiled freely, put on his cowboy hat, and said goodbye to Zeng Gong.
"Why are you still a few of you?" Zeng Gong stood up in surprise.
"Of course it's a few of us, we're a tourist ranch, at least we have to be responsible for the guests, but it's not something that Livingston's temporary workers can handle, we need some good cowboys, but unfortunately the good cowboys around us have been hired by you, and we can't find anyone for the time being, so we old guys can only work hard." Joe spread his hands, looking helpless and relieved.
The busy life has returned to the old days, and what is even more gratifying is that the son is finally willing to come back to inherit the family business, although there are some difficulties in wandering.
"No way, who made you not have a sense of advancement. Zeng Gong shrugged his shoulders and said that he was helpless.
"Wouldn't Joe be embarrassed if you did that?" said Elena, with some concern.
Joe is very simple, and his popularity in Livingston is good, and Elena has lived in Livingston for a while, so she naturally has a certain affection for people and things here.
"There is no way, now the water conservancy project in the ranch is in full swing, it is not convenient to receive tourists at all, the ranch is so big, there are always things that cannot be taken into account, what accidents happen, what should I do? And in the future, I plan to build the ranch into a model similar to a high-end club, which is even more inconvenient to receive ordinary tourists. Zeng Gong frowned slightly, explaining his concerns.
After all, the route taken by Qinglian Ranch in the future is different from that of ordinary ranches, and it is more decisive than the current refusal, which saves time and trouble.
"Forget it, we don't want to worry about these things, Elena, where are we going to play today?" Zeng Gong said impatiently when he saw that Elena's silence was silent.
"Play, Zeng, can you take me, an old man. Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and Brian said with a smile.
Uninvited guest, Zeng Gong squeezed out a smile and hugged Brian.
"Mr. Governor, why are you here. Zeng Gong gritted his back molars and asked with fake concern.
Brian glanced at Elena beside Zeng Gong, not at all embarrassed, and asked in a pretentious manner, "I didn't bother you, I just came back from Wyoming, passing by here to see how the project is progressing, Zeng, you must know that the water conservancy project on your ranch, I am under a lot of pressure, if it doesn't work, I, the governor, will come to an end." ”
Didn't bother, didn't bother what you're doing now.
"Don't worry, the water conservancy project doesn't need to be completed to achieve initial results, and now the work is going smoothly, if nothing else, you can see the results by this time next year." Zeng Gong said firmly.
"Then I'm relieved. Brian nodded, if Zeng Gong can improve the ecological environment of the Huangshi River basin and curb the spread of soil erosion, it will be a great achievement for him, and as for the relocation work, it is just a floating cloud.
"If you're not at ease, can we go around and see how it goes?" Zeng Gong continued, "What are you doing in Wyoming?"
"It's not because there is less rain this year, our Montana and Wyoming are both large livestock states, shouldn't I discuss countermeasures with the governor of Wyoming?"
From early spring to the present, the precipitation in several northwestern states of the United States is obviously less than in previous years, and the growth of pasture and grain is not good, and several states are making great water conservancy, using the main rivers of several northwestern states such as the Yellowstone River, the Missouri River, and the Columbia River, which is only slightly relieved, after all, there are more people and less meat, and the flow of water downstream must be guaranteed.
State governors are already on the lookout.
"Is there any way to do that?" Zeng Gong asked with concern.
"At present, there is no good way, but to buy some forage from other places, reduce the scale of free-range breeding, and concentrate on captivity. Brian said with a sigh.
Although there are more and more ways to breed in captivity and become more and more large-scale, Montana still has its own pride, and it is the largest free-range breeding in the United States, but I did not expect that the rainy season will erode this advantage.
And
Treating the symptoms is not the root cause.
"Even if it is bred in captivity, the meat quality will not be too good, the cost will increase, the profit will decrease, and many ranches will go bankrupt this year, Brian, you have to take emergency measures." Zeng Gong seemed to think that the method Brian said was only a little relief, and even a drink to quench his thirst.
"There is no way, there are only so many water rights, you can do as much as you can. Brian sighed as he felt exhausted.
It's a pity that there are many people who are so dissatisfied.
"By the way, Zeng, can you reduce the use of some water rights?" Brian suddenly thought of something, and said earnestly to Zeng Gong.
