Chapter 931: The First
Moonlight is like water.
In the bright moonlight, a large kangaroo looked up and jumped towards a patch of grass.
When it arrived at its destination, it looked at a few other species not far away that had been enjoying the delicious pasture for a long time, and found that there were a few hares of the same color as them, and they were also jumping and dancing so cutely, foraging here with their kind.
However, the meadow was so large that no one cared about one more of them foraging, so it immediately lowered its head and prepared to enjoy it......
Burst!
There was a muffled sound, and the speed looked up to see that several other kangaroos were like it.
However, nothing unusual was found...... No, there are still anomalies. Although there was no threat to them in the vicinity, there was a black shadow that disappeared in an instant every time it flew over the head of one of their kind.
Not only their kind, but also a few rabbits that reacted and prepared to run away did not escape. The black shadow passed by, and without even a pause, the few hares that had fled in all directions disappeared.
The kangaroo couldn't understand what was going on, it just instinctively felt something dangerous, and immediately jumped up, quickly turned and fled.
Run, run!
The instinct for danger made it flee as much as it could, until it ...... Suddenly, it saw a large herd of cattle.
"Bang!"
A gunshot rang out.
The kangaroo fell in response.
"Awesome!" a voice came. "Second brother, your current marksmanship is okay!"
"Of course, it doesn't look like I practice every day. Another honest voice came. "I ......"
"Don't blow it, hurry up and call people over to clean up these wild things. The original voice said. "Xiaoya, you said that these are all animals from the koala country, kangaroos, right? This thing is also a rare thing, and it doesn't look good to eat, why does the boss often send it in these days!"
"Boss, my name is Abel. A voice said in a slightly weird accent. Kangaroos are not uncommon in koala country, they are very common animals, and hares...... It's a little less than a hare. The boss has now bought a ranch in Koala Country, and these animals are grass-eating guys, and the boss must be cleaning up the pasture. You haven't known that you've been eating it for so long?"
"Alright, I've heard too much of what you've done!" said Coolie One, smiling. "It doesn't matter what it is, you can eat it, so you can change the taste. β
Then he stared at the kangaroo and sighed: "It's really everything!"
"I don't know!" Abel muttered to himself, carrying a sharp knife and dragging a kangaroo with another coolie to the nearby shelf.
In the ranch of the dinosaur base, that is, coolie No. 1 and coolie No. 2 are two guys who don't know anything. But who let the two of them be the first to be brought in by the boss!
Abel muttered quietly as he worked, "I miss all those seductive beauties in Las Vegas!"
There are only a few women in the ranch, and most of them are five big and three thick, and most of them even look miserable - the worst thing is that these women that Abel never looked down on before, now he looks like he has clear eyebrows.
Even with that sturdy body, he sometimes felt a little hot in his heart when he looked at it.
I think when he was in human society, when he Abel had seen such a woman. If you want to look like you don't look like you don't have a figure, it's no different from a man, but now......
Although he was walking, the sharp knife in Abel's hand was not distracted at all, and he skillfully slashed through the knife, allowing the kangaroo's skin to leave the body, revealing blood-red flesh mixed with white fascia.
"Hi James. Abel glanced up at his companion. "You say, is it possible for us to go out again?"
"What's wrong here?" James glanced up at him. "Don't you think it's nice to eat and drink here, and you can see amazing dinosaurs?
"But don't you miss the glitz and glamour of the city?" Abel whispered.
"Huh. James scoffed at this. "I've said it many times, it's because you're rich. If I had money, how could I still be a bitter communications soldier. β
Abel shook his head helplessly, he didn't have any common language with these shabbys!
Now the coolies have a group of fools who only care about research, and those fools have endless fresh experimental materials to study every day, and they don't have to think about other problems, and they think that such a day is simply heaven.
There is also a group of guys who have muscles in their brains, and they think that the boss is omnipotent, so they have long accepted their fate.
Those who have ideas in their brains and are not adapted to life on the ranch are now estimated to have gone through several cycles - from humans to dinosaur dung, then decomposed by microorganisms, fertilizing the earth, nourishing plants, turning into food, and then into dung......
Abel thought it was a good place for a while, but after a long time, there were always some thoughts in his headβespecially after his aunt and nephews and nieces had gone out.
It's a pity that he also knows that he will never be able to go out, but people will always have fantasies, and it is inevitable that they will think about it sometimes.
β¦β¦
"Come over to a few people who know about finance, show me these account books. Suddenly, a voice came, and Abel moved even faster than his mind. At the moment when the sound came, he immediately threw away the sharp knife in his hand, quickly washed his hands beside him, and rushed to the direction where the voice came from while wiping it on the towel around his neck.
The voice of the big boss!
You can only get better treatment by working for the big boss, and if you don't seize this opportunity, you are a fool.
"Boss, I also know about finances. Abel ran forward and straightened his clothes twice, stood still, and said expectantly.
He really understands, and he follows Anderson to take care of business, so it can be said that he knows a little bit about everything. However, this was not enough, when he entered the world of dinosaurs, from the initial panic to the adaptation to the situation here, he even began to take the initiative to learn various skills.
Learn fighting, guns, and driving with Dwayne Johnson, learn financial knowledge from bank clerks, learn simple experimental operations from experimenters, learn cattle herding from cowboys, and cook from cooks in the cafeteria......
In fact, the more skills he has, the more freedom he has in the ranch. At first, it was unrealistic for him to learn everything, but it was because he learned the basics of ranching, and he relied on diligence to do more work, so that he came into contact with researchers, and then he could learn finance, and finally even had the opportunity to learn skills such as guns.
Did it work?
It's still somewhat useful, at least as the more skills he has, the more opportunities he gives the big boss to work. Giving a job to the big boss is rewarded with free time in the rules of the ranch - although the range of activities is still a small area, freedom always means that he can do more things, such as learn more knowledge.
Isn't it useful now? Originally, he only knew some simple knowledge of auditing, and that was to manage his uncle's gray business. But now he can confidently say that he understands finances.
β¦β¦
Yan Fei looked at Abel who was checking the accounts with a few bank clerks and smiled slightly, he actually knew roughly what the coolies were doing in the ranch. Abel is willing to 'go up', of course he has no opinion.
He likes to be dead on the ranch like James, but he is just as happy to be able to motivate others like Abel. Anyway, it's all about working for yourself, and of course the more motivated you are, the better.
"Boss, the business situation in this ranch is basically in a state of semi-loss at the moment. We found out that half a year ago, the ranch suddenly operated in a very bad situation, and it has not been reversed until now. A coolie finally came forward with a few ledgers in his hand to report.
Yan Fei nodded: "Okay, give me all the account books!" You continue to wait here, it is estimated that you will be a little busy tonight, and there are still a few ranch accounts to check." β
These accounts are the account books of several small ranches around the current Morning Glory Ranch, Yan Fei has purchased the mine, and the next step is to prepare for the acquisition of these small ranches.
His plan was to expand the ranch to the seashore all the time β a plan that seemed exaggerated to others, but he didn't think it was much. As long as you work hard, it won't be a matter of time!
The key is to take your time and use legal means for everything you can.
The policy of the koala country toward China changes three times a day, and basically changes along with the change in the attitude of the mold country. Yan Fei's plan is to slowly integrate into it first, temporarily make everything reasonable and legal, win over some people who are friendly to him, and finally successfully complete his expansion.
β¦β¦
When he drove back to the ranch with his daughter-in-law the next day, Yan Fei said with a smile: "We'll talk to Old Connor in a while, and then consider the other ranches we have investigated." Let's talk to him first, and if possible, quietly buy a ranch first. β
Xu Xiaoyan nodded: "That's okay, you can put me down at our ranch in a while, and you can talk about it yourself!" I heard that the old man is very stubborn, you go and bring some gifts." β
"Don't worry!" Yan Fei said with a smile.
β¦β¦
Old Connor's ranch is not one of the few ranches that Yan Fei checks at night, and his ranch is not large, that is, about 20,000 acres. There are still two pastures separated from Yan Fei's ranch, and he is a little older, just like the dead old Matthew, and now the ranch has no successor.
This is actually quite common, and young people nowadays are not all happy to continue working on ranches.
The pastures are all wilderness, and it is very troublesome to pull a power line over, and there is no way to have much entertainment at all. The children who grew up here are too reluctant to come back once they see the glitz and gloom.
Of course, there are also young people who are willing to come to the ranch, but most of them don't have the money to buy a ranch directly, and at most they only consider some small farms of a few hundred acres - the farm is mainly to grow crops, and the large ranch can be operated in multiple ways.
Connor Sr. has no successor to his ranch, and he is not in good health. A large number of sons, daughters and granddaughters supported him to sell the ranch and go to the city to retire, but the old Connor had a stubborn personality and was unwilling to leave for various reasons, and once drove away several buyers who came to talk about the ranch sale.
Yan Fei can be regarded as knowing that there are tigers in the mountains and preferring to go to Tiger Mountain!
After making a phone call at the gate of the ranch, Old Connor was still a little puzzled when he came in a broken pickup truck: "You are Yan, the legendary Monopoly?"
"To be exact, Yan Fei, a large cattle farmer. Yan Fei said with a smile. "Money doesn't mean anything to me, I just want to buy more pasture and raise more cattle. I'm here to visit you just to talk to you about your ranch. β
"I don't sell. Old Connor's face immediately darkened, and as he spoke, he prepared to drive the guest away.
"One minute, give me one minute. Yan Fei stretched out three fingers. "Can I finish my story?"
Old Connor glared at Yan Fei, and Yan Fei glared at him back.
The two of them looked at each other for a full minute before Old Connor spoke, "Just one minute." β
"No problem. Yan Fei laughed. "Three conditions. First, after you buy the ranch, you have a permanent pass here. That is, you can come whenever you want. β
"Second, the ranch can be under your supervision, and if I don't run it well or change the use of the ranch, you can get it back at the original price. It doesn't matter how much the ranch appreciates in the future. β
"Thirdly, I kept all the workers in the pasture, and I continued to keep the herd. Anyway I'll try to keep it as it is, except I need to build an irrigation system and replace some pasture. None of the others will make any big changes. β
After Yan Fei finished speaking, he looked at Old Connor and was silent, but Old Connor stared at him and did not move.
According to Yan Fei's understanding, Old Connor didn't sell ranches before, and there was one company that he felt that the other party was inexperienced and couldn't run a ranch. The other two families wanted to treat the ranch as a manor because they were rich men - his ranch was not very large, but it had a small lake and a river next to it. The conditions are much better than in Yan Fei's large ranch.
After glaring at each other for another minute, Yan Fei smiled and said, "Actually, you can consider me, although I am not a local." But when I run a ranch, I run a ranch, and I don't mess up that mess. Maybe in another ten years, you will come back again, and this ranch will still be your home, and you can come and ride a horse and drive the cattle at any time to reminisce about the old life. β
"I can also attach one condition, your legs...... I can help you with this. You may not have heard of Chinese medicine in Huaguo, but I have three small labs with us and a stake in a pharmaceutical company. I don't dare say too much, but at least I promise that in three or two years, when you come back, you'll still be on horseback. β
Connor Sr. turned his head and got into the car: "Young man, you talk too much!"
Yan Fei laughed: "Why don't you give it a try? If it continues, at most one year, your ranch will still be unattended." Look at what Matthew Jr. did, can you guarantee that after you die, the ranch will remain in your family's name?"
Old Connor stopped: "I'm going to try first." β
"But you're going to sign a contract, my purpose is to buy ranch, not to be a doctor. Yan Fei insisted.
Old Connor blew his beard again and glared.
Yan Fei smiled, the old man's leg had been injured before, and the main reason for his poor health was this leg. At that time, he was injured in the ranch, because he was not treated in time, he was fine when he was young, but he can't do it when he is old - although he can barely drive now, he will definitely not be able to stand the bumps if he rides on a horse.
And for this situation, Yan Fei is the best.
So when he decided to buy up the surrounding ranches, the first one was Connor Sr.
Looking at Yan Fei, Old Connor took a deep breath, and then slowly spit it out, his face became a little soothed: "Okay, maybe I should give you a chance, come in and have a good talk!"
Yan Fei smiled, jumped on his pickup truck, and drove into the ranch.
About an hour later, Yan Fei drove happily out of the ranch again, and this ranch was almost worthy of the surname Yan.
In fact, the conditions he prescribed, except for the one that treated the leg, didn't have much meaning at all. Once the ranch is sold, it is naturally up to the new owner to decide, even if Old Connor really comes often, then he will find out that Yan Fei did not lie to him.
As for letting him ride a horse and walk in circles, those are trivial.
To put it bluntly, it is a matter of attitude, and now as Old Connor's physical problems become more and more serious, especially now that the temperature has dropped a little, his illness is even more serious - although it seems a little unreasonable to say it, but for Yan Fei, now is a good time to come over and talk about business.
In the end, there is nothing to talk about, Old Connor just hopes that the pasture will still be a pasture in the future, which Yan Fei can do. As for his legs, in fact, he didn't have much hope for himself, since Yan Fei said it, he should just give it a try.
In fact, even if he wanted to return to the ranch if he really didn't, his family wouldn't agree.
In short, after Yan Fei made sufficient preparations and inquired enough news, the first acquisition plan was successfully completed.
