The person who just touched the gun was just as addicted to the person who had just learned to ride and drive, and even more so, Xiao Feng could even think of shooting at the shooting range in his mind while lying on the bed.

When he got up the next day, Xiao Feng found Old Bob and asked where there was a shooting range in the ranch or where to build a shooting range?

"There is a shooting range in the ranch, but it has fallen into disrepair and needs to be re-equipped!" Old Bob thought for a moment and said, "The northwest corner of the original Salmon Ranch, about 3 miles from the castle, is a nice place!"

The understanding of the 'Dream Ranch' old Bob is much more detailed than Xiao Feng, Xiao Feng is an out-and-out hands-off shopkeeper, he only understands some general situations, and does not pay much attention to the details!

"What procedures are required to build a shooting range, and do you want a construction engineering company on the right track to do the construction?" As soon as he heard that there was a suitable location in the ranch, Xiao Feng suddenly became interested.

Speaking of which, Lao Mei is a little inconvenient here, many construction projects are required to be undertaken by enterprises with certain qualifications, and there is no market for the grass platform team.

For example, the construction of the fence of the 'Dream Ranch' is a simple project, but in order to be recognized by insurance, it needs to be carried out by a designated company.

Now that he wants to build a shooting range, Xiao Feng also subconsciously wants to let a professional construction unit undertake it, and he has been frightened by the extremely detailed professional division of labor here.

"If it's just a simple shooting range, we can make it ourselves!" Old Bob shook his head and said, "If you want a more professional shooting range, you really need a professional construction company to build it!"

As for the situation where his boss wants to build a shooting range, Old Bob naturally has no surprises, after all, everyone has experienced this situation.

When old Bob bought his own spear as an adult, he also had trouble sleeping. I was thinking about target shooting all day long, but the economic conditions were not good at that time, and even practicing target shooting had to be carefully calculated.

Now that Xiao Feng, a master who is not bad for money, has just come into contact with guns, he naturally does not have the concept of saving money, presumably in order to facilitate practice, he simply built a shooting range at home.

"Then build a professional shooting range. Anyway, the cowboys on the ranch will also have to practice in the future!" Xiao Feng did not hesitate and made a decision directly.

Xiao Feng considered that except for himself, the 100 cowboys from Huaxia had no experience in dealing with firearms, so they were not qualified cowboys.

For the cowboys of Montana, it is the norm to be equipped with guns, and it is not people who are guarded against, but all kinds of beasts!

Despite the fact that the 'Dream Ranch' has built a fence with a total length of about 60 kilometers, it does not completely prevent all kinds of wild animals from entering the ranch. For example, wolves, brown bears, cougars and other large beasts.

When the cowboy is grazing, there is a high probability that he will encounter these beasts, in this case, the cowboy has nothing to rely on except guns and hunting dogs to help him.

Therefore, Xiao Feng plans to equip all Huaxia cowboys with a long and short gun, and let them do enough training in the shooting range of the ranch to gain enough self-protection ability!

"There's no problem with this!" said Old Bob as soon as he heard Xiao Feng's words. Knowing that this was necessary, he quickly nodded and agreed.

Bob Sr. immediately contacted Helena's shooting range construction company. put forward their own requirements, hoping that they would do their best to discharge engineering personnel to the site for investigation and construction!

I have to say that an old cowboy like Old Bob is still very useful, and the things that Xiao Feng feels clueless about have become orderly under his hands!

…………

Alan is the owner of 'Marco Engineering' and the main designer. After graduating from Georgia Tech, he returned to Helena to take over the family business.

Marco Engineering was founded after World War II by Allen's grandfather, Anderson Marko, after retiring from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. In the post-war construction boom, the engineering company received a large number of orders for the construction of houses, and gradually grew. It has successively obtained the construction qualifications including airports, shooting ranges and even highways.

It's just that the economic situation in the United States is not optimistic, and the Marco Engineering Company, which originally had hundreds of employees, is on the verge of bankruptcy, and Allen has begun to consider whether to end the company and work overseas.

According to Allen's classmates in Huaxia, Huaxia is simply a huge construction site, and an industry elite like Allen with a prestigious school degree and rich construction experience will not earn less than $100,000 a year, which is much better than him guarding such a balanced enterprise in Helena.

Ten years ago, Alan might have been able to make a decision, but now that the lovely children have reached the age of kindergarten, he really can't decide all at once.

Just when Alan hesitated, old Bob's phone call brought him a small business, to build a medium-sized automated shooting range, and the cost should not be bad!

After putting down the phone, Alan immediately called his assistant Carter, and the two drove away from Helena and headed to the original 'Salmon Ranch', which is now home to the 'Dream Ranch'.

Allen's car is a Dodge Ram pickup, quite old, but it is very well maintained, and the roaring engine is very eye-catching.

In less than an hour, Alan and Carter were at the side door of the 'Dream Ranch', where Old Bob and Xiao Feng were already waiting for them.

As a native of Helena, Alan is no stranger to the 'salmon ranch' in the suburbs, after all, he has been to the neighborhood before. But seeing the staggering luxury fences of today's 'Dream Ranch', Alan knows that the new owner is not short of money.

During this period of time, Helena's local media and the public have been discussing the 'Dream Ranch' quite enthusiastically, and Alan recognized the young Asian next to Bob at a glance as the Chinese owner of the 'Dream Ranch'.

The Douglas family and the Marco family, where Bob Sr. belongs, are both descendants of German immigrants, and the relationship between the two families has lasted for more than a hundred years.

"Alan Marco!" Allen introduced himself to Xiao Feng and said, "I am glad that Mr. Xiao can give us a chance, I believe that our professional level will satisfy you!"

Over the years, due to the recession of the economic environment, Marko's business department has also shrunk sharply, and Allen, the boss and chief engineer, has also had to take on the task of contracting business, but has developed some abilities.

At present, many people in Allen Engineering are wearing many hats, such as Allen's old friend and assistant Carter, in addition to being the construction manager, also has to take on the budget, logistics equipment maintenance and other work, which can be said to be used by one person as several people.

No way, it's a tough time, it's good to have a job!

"The company recommended by Old Bob, I naturally believe it!" Xiao Feng nodded and said: "Our time is urgent, I hope that after today's on-site investigation, we can come up with a plan and start construction as soon as possible!"

Anyone can say beautiful things, and when the contract is finally signed, lawyers and accountants will come forward, and Xiao Feng doesn't have to worry about anything in it.

Of course, Xiao Feng also has great trust in Old Bob's character, and since he recommended it, it naturally shows that 'Marco Engineering Company' has sufficient professional standards.

After a while of greetings, the group boarded the car and went straight to the location of the shooting range mentioned by Bob Sr. for a field trip.

Nearly 4 miles into the ranch from the side gate, it's close to the edge of Yellowstone, with its high forests and beautiful scenery.

Old Bob's car was parked on the outskirts of a valley, and standing at the mouth of the valley, you could vaguely see some improvised gun targets left behind, and it seemed that Old Bob was right.

The valley is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and it is only necessary to close the mouth of the valley to prevent humans from entering by mistake, and the security is much better than that of ordinary areas.

Coupled with the fact that this is already the edge of the ranch and is covered by dense forests, even if there is a lot of gunfire here, it will not affect the livestock of the ranch too much, which is also a very good choice!

Xiao Feng didn't know anything about the construction of the shooting range, he just told Allen some of his requirements, and then let him and Carter go into the valley for a field trip, and he and old Bob waited outside.

The number of Chinese cowboys in the ranch is 100, and the number will increase in the future, so the scale of the shooting range cannot be too small, at least a dozen or twenty target positions. In addition to the scale, the automatic target reporting system is also an important piece of equipment, and with the corresponding awnings, rest rooms, and ancillary facilities such as computer analysis rooms, it is estimated that it will cost a lot.

However, for Xiao Feng, money is not a problem, as long as he can practice in his own shooting range as soon as possible, it is a good thing.

This time the construction of the shooting range is also a test for the 'Marco Engineering Company', if their performance is good enough, Xiao Feng does not mind handing over the airport construction project of the 'Dream Ranch' to them.

Since the original ranch owner only built an improvised runway that could take off and land small propeller aircraft, and could not land Gulfstream G650 or even larger aircraft in the future, Xiao Feng already planned to build a high-specification airport in the 'Dream Ranch'.

Otherwise, it would not be a solution for the 'Nini' to always be kept in the hangar of Helena Airport! After the construction of the airport of the ranch is completed, it will be much easier to go out!

By the time Alan and Carter had made a preliminary survey of the valley, Xiao Feng couldn't bear it anymore, took out a gun from the car, drew a target with paint in the valley, and began to practice.

Old Bob also went through this itchy stage, so he didn't say anything, helped Xiao Feng send Alan and the two out of the 'Dream Ranch', and reminded them to come up with the design, construction plan and quotation as much as possible, and strive to start construction as soon as possible!

In just one morning, the new project of 'Dream Ranch' is about to start! (To be continued...... R1292
