16. My Ranch
Tang Ming read the information of these seven ranches, and first removed the largest ranch, this ranch has a large area, but the location is not good, close to central Australia, where there are deserts, the environment is harsh, and it is not suitable for ranches at all.
Then he removed the most expensive ranch, which was just over 50,000 acres in size, but the price reached more than 80 million Australian dollars, and he transferred all the 66 million dollars he received from the auction diamonds, which could only be converted into 86 million Australian dollars, and after buying the ranch, he could declare bankruptcy.
The remaining five ranches were quite suitable, ranging from 15,000 to 60,000 acres and priced between $20 million and $63 million, and he was going to go on a field trip before deciding to buy the ranch, and he told Lucy about his request, and Lucy promised to arrange it for him tomorrow.
The next morning, Lucy took Tang Ming to inspect the ranch environment, and it took them a few days to walk through all five ranches.
Tang Ming thought about it for another day, and finally decided to buy the Grizzly Bear Ranch in Queensland, which has an area of 34,000 acres and a price of 45 million Australian dollars.
He decided to buy this ranch for several reasons, in addition to considering the area and price.
First of all, there is a small lake in the grizzly bear ranch, which is 200 acres in size, and in Australia, a dry and rainless place, the lake can be used to store water and irrigate the pasture during dry times.
In addition, he also plans to divert the water from the Xiahedong Tenri to the lake, although the diluted water is greatly reduced, but it is still very beneficial for the growth of pasture and animals.
Tan Shui is his biggest hole card, if it weren't for the existence of Tan Shui, he, a person who doesn't know anything about farming, even if he likes pastoral life, he doesn't dare to spend tens of millions to buy a large ranch of tens of thousands of acres, at most spend millions to buy a small ranch to play.
The second reason is that there is a mountain peak eight or nine hundred meters high in this pasture, he likes this peak very much, in the traditional impression of the Chinese people, there are mountains and rivers is a good place, and Tang Ming is also deeply influenced by this thought.
The third reason, he likes the house in the grizzly ranch very much, is the best of the five, it is a two-story villa with a construction area of 2,000 square meters, and there is a wine cellar of several hundred square meters underground, in addition to an outdoor pool and a helipad.
The fourth reason is that the grizzly bear ranch is very clean, there are not many flies, you must know that in Australia, there are unimaginable flies, and it is called the 'national bird', of course, this is a joke, but it can be seen that the influence of flies in Australia, which is unimaginable for people who have not been to Australia, especially in remote areas of the countryside, there are more flies.
There are many flies, mainly due to animal husbandry, and the previous owner of the grizzly bear ranch is a mining tycoon, he did not buy the grizzly bear ranch to breed cattle and sheep, but used the grizzly bear ranch as a place for vacation and hunting, but now that the world economy is in a recession, the mining tycoon has no money, so he thought of selling the grizzly bear ranch, but as soon as he hung it out, he was caught by Tang Ming at a glance.
Tang Ming and Lucy came to Brisbane and met a man in his forties, his name was Gregory, who was an assistant to the mining tycoon.
After a brief conversation, they asked the lawyers on both sides to draw up the contract, and the lawyers were busy for more than two hours before the contract was completed, and then Tang Ming signed a check for 45 million Australian dollars, and he and Gregory signed the contract, and the Grizzly Bear Ranch belonged to him from then on.
Gregory put the check away, stood up and stretched out his hand, and said, "Mr. Tang, I hope to see you next time." ”
Tang Ming also stretched out his hand and shook it with him, saying, "There will be a chance." ”
After Gregory took people away, Tang Ming's lawyer also left, and he and Lucy were left in the room, Tang Ming reached out and took out the checkbook from his suit, signed a check for 10,000 Australian dollars, handed it to Lucy, and said: "Lucy, I have worked hard for you in the past few days, this is a little bit of my heart." ”
Lucy was not polite, took the check, and said to Tang Ming, "Thank you, Mr. Tang." ”
When Lucy left, Tang Ming was left in the room, he didn't stay here for long, he left the room, found a car sales center, bought a long-awaited Ford Raptor F650, and drove to the ranch.
Tang Ming is a very peaceful and indifferent person, but he also has a wild side, just like he likes strong giant dogs like the Caucasus, likes all kinds of fierce and fierce models, and doesn't like the delicate models of Little Japan and Sticks, in addition, he also likes all kinds of guns and weapons, which can be regarded as a pseudo-military fan.
In the past few days, he not only went to see the ranch, but also changed his driver's license by the way, and applied for a tax number and a gun license, the tax number is very simple, he has applied for it, and the gun license will take a while to come down, Australia is not like the United States, Australia is a country with gun restrictions, and it is very difficult to apply for a gun license, but he is a rich man, and he is a rich man who wants to buy a ranch, plus the help of Westpac Bank, it is not too difficult for him to apply for a gun license.
It was open until more than eight o'clock in the evening, Tang Ming came to the grizzly bear ranch, he looked at the bear head at the main gate of the ranch, felt a little awkward, and was ready to find someone to change it, and then change the name of the ranch, he had already thought about it, his ranch was called Alpine Ranch, and there was indeed a mountain of eight or nine hundred miles in his ranch, and the name was well deserved.
Entering from the main entrance, after a short drive you saw a small lake and the villa was located right on the edge of the lake.
He parked the car, walked into the villa, turned on the lights, and the villa immediately became resplendent.
He started from the living room on the first floor and went all the way to the second floor, where the entire villa had twelve bedrooms, twenty bathrooms, five living rooms, two dining rooms, two kitchens, a study, an indoor gym, and an indoor cinema.
He chose a bedroom on the second floor, cleaned it up briefly, opened the window, and saw the lake behind the villa, the scenery was very charming, he looked at it for a while, and released the big fat and the second fat from the Xia He cave sky.
"Woo ......"
Just like when they first entered the Xia He Cave Heaven, the two little ones were not very comfortable with the new environment, and they were a little scared, so they could only seek comfort by Tang Ming's side.
Tang Ming hugged the two little ones and said, "This will be our home in the future, you have to take care of the home, you know?"
The two little guys stayed quietly in Tang Ming's arms for a while, gradually adapting to the new environment, and with Tang Ming by his side, they were not afraid, and began to run around, and also poured urine on the solid wooden floor at the door.
Tang Ming covered his forehead helplessly, found a rag to wipe the urine stains clean, and scolded the two little guys again, they immediately wilted, and followed Tang Ming with their heads drooping, not daring to be too presumptuous.
