Chapter 503: The Fish Is Hooked

Everyone will be here for a few days before they leave for their home country, just in time for the National Day Golden Week.

In recent years, with more and more people traveling abroad, the National Day is no longer a festival in Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, and tourism operators and businesses in Japan, South Korea, Australia and the United States can also follow with some soup. However, Atletico Madrid is not optimistic about the "American-style farmhouse" of the old farm, and it is too far away. Montana is already very remote, and the town of Dosha, where the farm is located, is even more remote, although there are perfect airports and roads, but everyone has spent too much time on transportation all the way over, and there is no way that the United States is so sparsely populated.

This point, for the itinerary plan accurate to the minute and second with the group tourists, is undoubtedly unacceptable, most people still like those classic essence tour routes, and there are no tourist souvenirs to buy here, there should be no travel agency to think of opening such a group.

In the long process of waiting for the fish to be hooked, it was natural to find some topics to pass the time, so Ma Dong spoke: "Brother, your farmhouse is still very good, the air is fresh and the food is organic, and you can also ride horses to fish and cut grass, but the traffic is really bad, and the location of the farm is too remote." ”

Regarding Atletico Madrid's seemingly pertinent criticism, the old man didn't appreciate it very much, and first sighed lightly, "There is no way to get convenient transportation, and a good place close to the city is either impossible to buy, or it is too expensive." At the end, he didn't forget to fight back: "You should be like your boss Ma, if you have too much money, you have nowhere to burn, buy a forest that burns money every year and raise it to play?"

The old farm and ranch is said to be not profitable, but it is still profitable every year, but the rate of return is a little low compared with the total input, and on the other hand, the cedar farm in Atletico Madrid is a complete money-losing goods, and the main output of timber is basically killed by various logging restriction policies, and a large amount of money is spent every year to maintain this forest and prevent forest fires.

You know, the American black pine tree is very strange, this kind of tree likes to grow in dense clusters upwards, the tree shape is not the common conical shape of conifers, but somewhat similar to bamboo, sugar cane and this kind of grass, is a slender brush.

Dense bamboo and sugar cane forests often underlie a thick layer of dead dry leaves, and the same is true for black pine forests, which accumulate a thick layer of withered branches and leaves on the ground, and its bark is thin and brittle and easy to burn, often leading to forest fires.

The pine cones of the black pine are very strong and firm, and often do not sprout for several years until they crack and germinate after a surface fire. Every time a forest fire clears the trees in an area, the surviving black pine seeds will sprout and grow in the ashes rich in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, which can not only quickly restore the territory, but also expand a lot.

In 19, the black pine forest fire in Yellowstone National Park burned for half a year, burning down one-third of the park, and after the fire, the burned area was quickly refilled with flowers and small saplings, because the fire cleared the old dead wood to make room for new plants, and became more and more vibrant, and it has also become a new attraction about "fire ecology" in the park.

This situation fully proves the theory that natural fire is an indispensable part of the metabolism of ecosystems.

In the warm temperate broad-leaved forests and humid and hot tropical rainforests, there is a very rich and powerful fungal community, which is the decomposer of the biosphere, responsible for decomposing and processing the remains of dead animals and plants, on the one hand to make room for the survival of new animals and plants, and on the other hand, to release the nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium trace elements fixed in the remains back into the natural environment. In the dry and cold coniferous forests and savannahs, the development of fungal communities is very inactive or not affected by the climate, and without these "decomposers" who strongly decompose lignocellulose, they can only use wildfires to clear the dead wood and dead grass.

Of course, that is, a large reserve with an area of nearly 9,000 square kilometers like Yellowstone can do this, and forests like cedar farms close to cities and human activity areas naturally cannot be allowed to burn and burn at will, because if the forest is on fire, the people who live near the forest will be unlucky.

In short, in order to keep the gorgeous cedar villa, Boss Ma has to spend a lot of money every year to hire people to monitor and clean up his forest, so as not to accumulate too many dead trees and rotten leaves, and be lit by lightning cigarette butts or something.

In fact, this expenditure is also the help of Boss Ma, if it weren't for this annual expense in the way, this land should have been bought a long time ago, how could it be his turn to buy it from across the ocean?

The same problem was also encountered by the farmer boss at the beginning, there was not a small amount of land entering the trading market every year for various reasons, but most of it was digested internally by the Americans themselves, and there were not many lands for sale that could be caught up by him, and even fewer of them were favored by him. Even his current land was won after a lot of setbacks. If it weren't for the old farmer's success in impressing the original owner, the Smith family, there would be no old farm and pasture behind.

In fact, as a senior shareholder of the Bee Group, the old farmer can get a lot of dividends every year, even if this farm becomes a "real loss of money" like Cedar Farm, he doesn't have to worry about the problem of not having money to spend, and he can easily hold the situation.

The problem of rural hollowing out not only exists in China, but also in the United States, and it is even more serious.

A few decades ago, the US imperialists also had hundreds of millions of peasants, but now there are only 30,000, which is naturally due to agricultural mechanization.

With the development of technology, most of the manual labor has been replaced by machines, and most of the agricultural technology has enough professionals to study, and the farmers on the front line are actually more like inspectors monitoring the machines on the assembly line. For example, because the old farm and ranch uses a lot of automation equipment, the huge land only needs one person to manage in an orderly manner.

Similarly, because there are machines doing the manual work and experts doing the technical work, the farmer here is positioned closer to the manager, on the one hand, supervising the few agricultural workers under him, and on the other hand, contacting the purchase of various agricultural materials to sell and deliver the products. And this kind of work on people's physical strength and age requirements, obviously much lower than pure physical labor and mental work, as long as there is no Alzheimer's disease or hemiplegia total paralysis, you can work as long as you want.

It's just that in this way, most of the work is done by machines, and the work that can't be done by machines is done by parents waving their old arms and legs, and the younger generation naturally has no way to find jobs locally, so it is not surprising that the American countryside is the first to move towards aging.

In fact, the hollowing out of rural areas in China also came in this way, although it was not possible to build American-style large farms, but it also developed mechanization with local characteristics, which gave rise to hundreds of millions of surplus rural labor. And between the hollowing out of China and the aging of the United States, there are actually only a few children left, and it is not very popular in the United States to throw children to their parents.

Hollowing out and aging are naturally unhealthy, and the solution is naturally to increase jobs, and the development of tourism is a good choice, provided that there are tourism resources suitable for development.

In fact, the old farmer himself knows that the geographical location of Dosha Town is too remote, and its own attractions and attractions are not scarce enough, so it is basically impossible to really engage in rural tourism.

He naturally saw this very openly, and said leisurely: "Actually, it's already very good like now, and there are some people here in the month of Thanksgiving and Christmas, and they are usually deserted, but it really makes me sad." ”

"Hahahaha! Brother, when you bought this place, didn't you just covet the lack of people here, the good fortune, and the quiet and leisurely suitable for the elderly, why did you get annoyed so quickly?"?

"Hey!" Nong Xinwu was exposed to Atletico Madrid in person, and couldn't help laughing: "At that time, I was also too private mpletoonaive, and I ran here to settle down as soon as my brain was hot." ”

Hearing him admit defeat so happily, Atletico Madrid did not take advantage of the victory to chase, but said in a rather sympathetic tone: "It seems that I have also tempted Ngtoo to be private, but now I want to come to Cedar Farm to buy a loss, I only live for two months a year, and the remaining ten months are equivalent to helping others raise them for nothing." ”

However, Nong Xinwu did not echo Atletico Madrid's statement, shook his head and retorted: "Little Pony, it's not kind for you to say that, it's obviously a big profit, but it's too hypocritical to say that it's a loss and regret it, right?"

"It's just a matter of luck, just in time. ”

In the eyes of outsiders, what Atletico Madrid did this summer was a set of premeditated and serial headline plans that forced Wang Banbi to die.

His luxury English villa in Vancouver, although it is not as rich in history as European castles and wineries, and it is not gorgeous enough, but such a large house was bought only for two months in the summer, and the silent extravagance and waste is the best topic and excitement, and Boss Ma got the headlines smoothly.

Then, when the American people played the ice bucket challenge, he followed the trend and made the topic that had cooled down hot again. Then, Boss Ma said that it was not fun to buy a big villa, and he spent 400 million yuan to buy the world's largest business jet, and once again easily won the headlines.

In this whole operation, Atletico Madrid actually did not spend much money. Cedar Farm and Cedar Villa seem to be 10,000 acres of forest farm and super large English villa, but in fact, the two do not increase in value to each other, but play a double price reduction effect due to maintenance fees, resulting in the final transaction price is much lower than similar properties. As for the Gulfstream G65 worth 400 million, Atletico Madrid only paid the first deposit, and the subsequent fees were also paid on time, and the economic pressure was far less than it seemed.

Even Atletico Madrid led the team to Montana for a vacation, and in the eyes of some media, it has become "a young billionaire inspecting American farms and preparing to continue buying," which inexplicably made headlines again.

is also on the headlines, for Wang Banbi, it is just a simple increase in popularity and many fans, and then he can only slowly realize it through concerts and commercial endorsements, which is like the boss of the horse, his fame is the fame of bees, and in the few days when he was on the headlines, the sales curve of bee products has also increased a lot.

As a senior shareholder of Bee, Nong Xinwu naturally has access to some internal information, and by extension, he can know that Boss Ma's wave of money-throwing offensive not only did not lose money, but made a lot of money. Of course, as a shareholder, he also made some small money with the light.

Although I really want to say, "Brother Nong, you think too much, in fact, the role of news exposure in driving performance growth is really not as high as you think," but Atletico Madrid didn't say this sentence after all, but continued: "It's like our bee watch, it's just stained with the light of other people's Apple watches, and the sales have suddenly increased a lot." ”

"Hehe, luck is also strength!" said Nong Xinwu and shook his left hand, he was wearing a bee watch on his wrist, "The bee watch is good, it's just that this lantern prompt is too unintuitive, when will it be changed to a dial display?"

At the beginning of this month, Apple grandly released three new products, the fruit 6 mobile phone with upgraded hardware and the 6PL with a larger screen, as well as the Apple watch Applewatch, which has been hyped for a long time.

And Atletico Madrid and others before the "voluntary help" also played a role, the majority of users have been n more beautiful than the appearance of the third-party concept map to whet the appetite, the result is to see the thickness of 9 mm, only a little thinner than the classic diver's watch Apple watch, everyone suddenly did not good, so that the local tyrant exclusive 1K gold super wear-resistant special case also seems to be nothing.

Seeing Apple's watch "but so", consumers suddenly felt that those smart watches that were listed in advance were not so useless, especially the bee watches that focus on ultra-thinness and appearance, but have few functions, and have won a wave of small sales peaks.

Of course, Apple has hundreds of millions of fruit fans accumulated over the years, and it is difficult to say whether the Apple watch will fail when it encounters the offensive of slaughter, but it is certain that it will not meet expectations.

In fact, in the situation at that time, after finding that the user's expectation value was excessively raised by the third-party concept map, the most appropriate way was to cold treatment and bounce tickets. Or, like Qiao Gangzhu did when he released the first generation of the iPhone, he specially made a special demo version to hang the user's appetite first, and at the same time continued to develop until he came up with a satisfactory product before going on the market. In short, this ultra-thick watch must not be taken out, but unfortunately Cook is only a professional manager, and his personal influence is obviously not as good as that of Joe, who is the legendary founder, so he can only launch the product as planned, and naturally want a cup.
