After Tang Ming and Mike finished talking, Song Qian came over and said, "Boss, when I came back, I brought you a gift." ”

Tang Ming said, "Did you bring me a gift?"

Song Qian took out a box from behind her, handed it to Tang Ming, and said, "Of course, it's in the box." ”

Tang Ming took the box and asked, "Can I open it?"

Song Qian said: "Of course you can, this is for you, how do you know if you like it if you don't open it." ”

Tang Ming opened the package on the box, and after opening it, he saw two black bow ties inside, he took them out and gestured on his neck, feeling that it was not suitable for him, he looked at Song Qian suspiciously, and asked, "This is not for me, right?"

"Hahaha......" Song Qian laughed, Tang Ming immediately knew that he was being tricked by her, and asked, "This is for the big fat and the second fat, right?"

"Yes, hahaha...... Boss, this is indeed for the big fat and the second fat, but I really brought a gift, the gift is a little big, I didn't take it, and I'll send it to you. Song Qian said with a smile.

Tang Ming sighed helplessly and said, "If I am not satisfied with the gift, see how I clean you up." ”

Song Qian said confidently: "Don't worry, boss, you will be satisfied." ”

Tang Ming chatted with Klein and Allen for a few more words, got on the chestnut, and said, "You guys are busy, I'll go run a few laps." ”

He rode the chestnut in the pasture for a while, the chestnut ran sweaty, he led the chestnut back to the stable, wiped the chestnut dry, took off the harness, picked up another carrot, put it in the palm of his hand, and fed it to the chestnut.

"Boss, you're feeding chestnuts. ”

Song Qian's voice came from behind, and he turned his head to see Song Qian coming over, still holding a pair of saddles in his hands.

Tang Ming asked, "Are you going to ride a horse?"

Song Qian raised the saddle in her hand and said, "No, I'm here to give you a gift." ”

"Gifts. Tang Ming glanced at the saddle in her hand and said, "Is this the saddle?"

"Yes. Song Qian explained: "This is made by Allen's father, how about it, beautiful." ”

Tang Ming nodded and said, "It's really beautiful, it's more beautiful than the last time I bought it, thank you and Allen." ”

Song Qian said: "You're welcome, boss, you are satisfied this time, you don't need to teach me a lesson." ”

Tang Ming smiled: "Satisfied, very satisfied." ”

Song Qian gave the saddle to Tang Ming, and went to work in the stable, he carried the saddle back to the house, hung the saddle, lay on the sofa, and called Mike, after a short time, Mike hurriedly came over, sat down next to Tang Ming, and asked, "Boss, do you have something to do with me?"

Tang Ming said: "Now the pasture is too dry, I am afraid that there will be problems with the pasture, and I want to build a sprinkler irrigation system in the pasture, I want to ask you what you think." ”

Mike thought for a while and said: "Of course it is good to build a sprinkler irrigation system, but there are two problems, one is the cost, the other is the water source, let's talk about the cost first, our ranch has 34,000 acres, a set of automatic sprinkler irrigation system covering such a large area, the cost is not a small number, the other is the problem of water source, if the sprinkler irrigation is carried out, whether to use groundwater or lake water." ”

Tang Ming said: "In terms of price, as long as it does not exceed the bottom line in my heart, there is no problem, as for the water source, of course, it is to use lake water, a small lake of 200 acres, there is no problem in irrigating our pastures." ”

Mike said: "There must be no problem, even if our ranch is one or two times bigger, there is enough water in the small lake, so let's do it, boss, I know the owner of a sprinkler irrigation system construction company, I will contact him first and ask him to quote a price." ”

Tang Ming nodded and said, "Okay, you can do it." ”

In the evening, Mike came over again, and he brought a document.

Tang Ming picked it up, looked at it roughly, and said, "I don't understand, you can explain it to me." ”

"The system uses pivot irrigation machines, which are low-cost, highly automated, and have a long service life, with each irrigation machine lasting 20 to 30 years, and many large farms and ranches use this equipment," says Mike. ”

"There are several specifications of the length of the sprinkler irrigation machine, if you use a 600-meter length sprinkler irrigation machine, then each set of irrigation machine can irrigate an area of about 300 acres, the price of each set is 100,000 Australian dollars, our ranch needs 100 sets of this irrigation machine, which is 10 million Australian dollars, and there are some other equipment, plus labor costs, the total cost is 16 million Australian dollars. ”

Tang Ming said: "I can accept this price, just build according to this plan, when will they be able to start construction." ”

Mike was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Tang Ming to agree so happily, and persuaded: "Boss, do you want to think about it again." ”

Tang Ming said resolutely: "Don't think about it anymore, it's decided, the most important thing now is to let them hurry up and construct." ”

Mike said, "Okay, boss, I'll push them and get them to work as soon as possible." ”

Sending off Mike, Tang Ming sat on the sofa and calculated in his heart, after building this sprinkler irrigation system, his savings in Westpac Bank will be 13 million, which seems to be a lot, but it is only enough to buy a few thousand cattle, now there are only 1,000 cattle in the pasture, and after a while, he will have to buy another two or three thousand cattle, which requires a lot of money, in addition, he has to leave some money to buy feed, which is used to fatten cattle, and the rest of the money is barely enough.

"If it is not enough, transfer the more than 20 million in the domestic account and convert it into Australian dollars, which is also more than 5 million, which is enough to support for a period of time. He thought to himself.

Although he was about to face the dilemma of running out of money, he was not worried, as long as he waited until the cattle began to be slaughtered, he would be able to return the funds.

The next day, Tang Ming and Mike met with the owner of the sprinkler irrigation system construction company, signed a construction contract with him, and paid a deposit, and he promised Tang Ming that the sprinkler irrigation system would be built within ten days.

After signing the contract in the morning and starting construction in the afternoon, large trucks drove into the ranch with parts for the irrigation machines, which were stacked in designated places, and the engineers began to install the irrigation machines.

A few days later, before the irrigation system was built, his gun purchase permit came down, which meant that he could go to the gun shop and get his gun back.

He drove a pickup truck to Monte Town, parked the car in front of the gun shop, there were no customers in the gun shop, only one clerk, or the same person last time, this time his attitude changed a lot, and when he saw Tang Ming coming in, he immediately got up from the chair and said enthusiastically: "Mr. Tang, you come here to get the gun." ”

Tang Ming nodded and said, "Yes, help me bring the gun, thank you." ”

The clerk said, "Mr. Tang, don't be so polite, I'll go and get it for you." ”

The clerk took out Tang Ming's gun from behind, Tang Ming checked it, and it was indeed the gun he bought, so he put it in the gun bag.

The clerk said: "Mr. Tang doesn't need anything else, such as bullets, and scopes, we have scopes imported from Germany here, as well as goggles, tactical vests, ......"

After listening to him, Tang Ming first bought a hundred rounds of ammunition and a scope imported from Germany, these two things cost more than 2,000 Australian dollars, which has exceeded the price of this gun, mainly because the scope is more expensive.

Finally, he left a fifty Australian dollar tip for the clerk, came out of the gun shop, opened the car door, put the gun bag in the passenger seat, and drove the pickup truck to the ranch.

Back at the ranch, he parked his car in the yard and went upstairs with his gun bag.

He sat on the bed, took the gun out of the pouch, took a few shots, put on the scope again, and made a few strokes.
