016 Master, please
drove a broken pickup truck to Xiangshui Town, and came directly to the mayor's office. General Iron closed the door, and he had to wander back to Anderson's small supermarket.
"Dexter, you're not here to buy instant noodles again, are you?" Anderson asked cautiously as he looked at Liu Heming.
"Well, it's not just about buying instant noodles, I'm going to find Mayor George, and I've been forgetting to ask for his phone. Liu Heming said with some embarrassment.
During this time, he has always eaten instant noodles and bread in turns, and Anderson alone can make a few bucks, so he has a lot of opinions about him, a low-cost customer.
"Dexter, you can't get any nutrients by eating these alone. Anderson took out his phone and rummaged through it, "Remember, he's not always waiting for you in the office." ”
Liu Heming saved the number and dialed it here. It took a few rings for George to connect.
"George, I'm Dexter, and I have a little question for you, about some things planted this year. Liu Heming hurriedly said.
"OK, Dexter. I don't have anything to do today, you wait for me in the ranch, I'll drive straight over. George happily agreed.
"Thank you, George, I'll be waiting for you right back at my ranch. Liu Heming said happily.
After all, I don't know anything about the planting industry in the United States, and George, a knowledgeable person, can give me a lot of useful advice.
After hanging up the phone, Liu Heming wanted to leave here. But when I looked at it, I felt that there was something wrong with Anderson's eyes looking at him.
"Well, I was so happy just now that I forgot to buy something. Liu Heming slapped his head.
Even though Anderson is the cold-faced and hot-hearted type, he also has the trait of Scrooge. Anderson had a smile on his face when he went back to the shelves and dragged a box of instant noodles, some luncheon meats and canned fruit, and two dozen beers.
drove back to the ranch in a broken pickup truck, and saw George's car parked at the gate of the ranch.
In fact, the gate of Liu Heming's ranch is empty, and he usually doesn't close it at all. However, George paid attention to this aspect and did not drive directly in.
"George, I also want to thank you, I didn't expect you to come here in person. After coming to the side of the house, Liu Heming gave George a big hug.
"Haha, actually, I've always been curious about what you've been busy with all this time. George said with a smile.
"But there's a question I want to warn you, this house of yours should be rebuilt. If a tornado does occur, even if it is smaller, it will be difficult to resist. ”
"George, I would also like to rebuild a house, but I have consulted and I don't want to continue with the wooden villa. It's fine, but I don't feel safe. But the cost of changing to something else will be very high, at least more than 100,000 US dollars. Liu Heming shrugged his shoulders and said.
"Let's see later, if I have the money, see if I can build a better house, and I will take my family over to live with me." ”
He has always felt that the houses in the United States are not safe, they are all made of boards, and they will be kicked to pieces when they fight. As soon as he built a house, he wanted to make his house stronger, but in fact, it was not a few dollars short.
The main reason is that Xiangshui Town is too dilapidated, and there is no construction project in the town, so the cost will be higher. Otherwise, the cost of self-built houses will not be very high.
"George, what's wrong?" Liu Heming saw as soon as he finished speaking, George didn't look at himself, but looked up into the distance.
"Dexter, when did your ranch have this lake?" asked George, pointing to a lake not far away.
"Oh, I had it when I came. Liu Heming said with a look of indifference.
If there is no system, he will show that this is a meteorite, and maybe it will bring a touch of magic to this lake. But now he doesn't dare, this is his little secret, and he wants to keep others out of notice as much as possible.
"God, Dexter, you're really lucky, I think you're going to have a really good harvest this year. George looked at Liu Heming and said enviously.
"Thank you, George, in fact, I asked you to come over this time to ask you to help me calculate the cost of planting. There is also the fact that there is no agricultural equipment in this ranch, so if you rent it, where do you need to contact it?" asked Liu Heming with a smile.
"Dexter, you've got me right. George also became smiling, and his attitude towards Liu Heming's asking for advice was very useful.
"The cost of growing each crop is different, and the agricultural equipment required is different. Depending on the model, the rental costs range from about $100 to $300 per day. However, I still recommend that you buy some, although the one-time investment is large, but it is very practical. ”
"I suggest you go to the fertilizer company and find their people to do some testing of your soil. All you need to do is tell them your plan and they will help you produce the right compound. Of course, if you have farming experience, you can also judge based on your own feelings. ”
"But one thing I would like to remind you that if you don't use fertilizer properly, it will not only affect the harvest, but also pollute the groundwater. Although we don't have many people in Xiangshui Town, you will still be prosecuted. ”
"Thank you, George. I'm going to use all compound fertilizer this year, and then I'm going to use organic fertilizer next year to adjust it. Liu Heming nodded.
"Take a look at it first, here's a rough sketch here. There are less than eighteen acres of land, of which I plan to grow wheat, four acres for corn, and three acres for soybeans. The rest of the ones that I have leveled in front of my door, and I plan to grow my own vegetables. Liu Heming took out his sketch from the car and showed it to George.
"I'll show you this. Excluding the cost of machinery and oilseeds, wheat is normally grown at about $300 per acre, corn is about $650 per acre, and soybeans are around $430. George said after a moment's thought.
"All of yours adds up, I'll do the math, it's about $7,000. Because the land here has not been planted for a long time, the cost of fertilizer will increase, I am afraid that it will cost about 500 US dollars. ”
Liu Heming smiled bitterly in his heart, this cost is actually not very high, even if it is added to the price of machinery rental, it is about the same as he expected. But he was still very distressed, and he did it for 10,000 dollars at once.
The main reason is that he has no bottom in his heart now, and he has so much money in his hand, in case he loses money this year, it will be enough for him to invest in another round. My own food, drink, and Lazar, even if I save it, I have to spend money.
