【Chapter 695】 Recruiting Cowboys (Asking for Subscription!)
The construction of the 'Dream Ranch' is in full swing, and Xiao Feng, the shopkeeper, can't intervene even if he wants to help, after all, today's 'Jinghu Group' has formed a standardized management system, and Xiao Feng, the boss, is not too useful.
Of course, Xiao Feng's biggest and most important role for the 'Jinghu Group' is to be able to provide a steady stream of 'spatial spiritual springs', which is the foundation for the rapid development of the group.
It's just that Xiao Feng can't explain this to people, and sometimes he is quite depressed!
In the past few days, Xiao Feng has been walking around the ranch with white clouds and black soil, carrying a handmade shotgun from the Swedish company Vovapen, but he has shot a lot of prey to improve the food of the employees.
Because in the future, they will live in the 'Dream Ranch' for a long time, and some pets that can be brought out of the country in the future, Xiao Feng, will have to bring them over one after another, and sensitive species such as Bengal tigers and Yunnan golden snub-nosed monkeys can only stay in Ginkgo Village.
Baiyun Black Earth is Xiao Feng's first pair of pets, and his feelings for the two guys are naturally very deep, and it took a lot of effort to get them to have a legal identity this time. Because of the 'Space Spirit Spring' and Xiao Feng's Cunzài, the two guys adapted to the life of the 'Dream Ranch' very quickly, chasing chickens and rabbits every day, and they were so happy.
Compared with the 'Mirror Lake Ranch', the animal resources here in the 'Dream Ranch' are obviously much richer, not to mention small animals such as pheasants and hares, even white-tailed deer, reindeer, red deer and even black bears, brown bears, cougars and other fierce beasts can be seen everywhere, even Xiao Feng does not dare to go too deep into the barren area.
In addition to renovating the pasture and building fences, the most important goal of the construction of the 'Dream Ranch' is to drive all kinds of large beasts living in the ranch to Yellowstone Park, so as to ensure the safety of the ranch in the future!
Lao Mei here has an extremely strict animal protection policy, which is not allowed to fight. If he didn't let him kill, Xiao Feng could only watch some prey slip away from his scope, which was quite regrettable.
A handmade shotgun priced at $280,000 was Xu Mengyao's Valentine's Day gift to Xiao Feng, and now because it is not yet the large-scale hunting season, Xiao Feng can only be used to hunt gadgets such as pheasants and hares, which is really not enjoyable at all.
Xiao Feng had already made up his mind. When the fall season opens, be sure to head into the forests of the Rocky Mountains to get some good fur for your family!
After wandering around for several days, Xiao Feng was also a little bored, but the construction of the ranch had entered a critical moment, and the cultivation of 'Space Forage' needed the support of 'Space Spirit Spring' at any time, and Xiao Feng had no way to leave.
On this day, he heard that Ma Wanli was going to a nearby palm town to recruit local cowboys, Xiao Feng suddenly became interested and followed Ma Wanli out of the ranch!
…………
In the pasture. Some low-chassis premium sedans, let alone supercars, are out of use, and pickup trucks are the best choice for ranchers and cowboys.
Xiao Feng is no exception, although he has a contract with Audi to use Audi vehicles in public as much as possible, but Audi does not have a pickup truck, and Xiao Feng is not a problem driving a Ford F150.
The F-150 is a classic pickup truck owned by Ford. It is the highest-selling model in the F-Series series. It topped the list of the top 10 best-selling cars in the United States and won the title of America's best car for many years in a row, and it sold more than any other large truck brand.
The Ford F-150 has been sold in hundreds of thousands of units annually in North America, ranking first in the sales of pickup trucks in the United States for 35 consecutive years, which is also a miracle in the history of automobiles.
In the American interpretation of dreams, dreaming of a pickup represents an unusually hard work. It can be seen how deeply rooted such a heavy worker is in the hearts of the people in the United States.
The Ford F-150 is long, wide and tall, with a body of almost 6 meters, a wheelbase of more than 3.5 meters, a body width of almost 2.2 meters, and a body height of almost 2 meters. More than any car Xiao Feng had driven before.
Xiao Feng, who is 183 tall, sat in the car of the Ford F-150, and did not feel depressed at all, and saw a completely American-style wild and rugged, but it was obvious that the Ford F-150 did not lose the concept of "technology", and some scientific and technological configuration information such as the driving computer and the large-size central control screen were displayed very completely.
The impression of American cars, all of them are large displacement, and this Ford F-150 is of course no exception, it is equipped with a 6.2L V8 engine, which can output more than 400 horsepower and nearly torque, strong power in exchange for super high fuel consumption.
Nearly 20L/100 kilometers of fuel consumption in China, is not the average person can afford to drive, even in the United States, where the price of oil is relatively cheap, the shy rancher may not be able to afford such an oil tiger!
Xiao Feng originally wanted to buy a Ford F650 known as the 'King of the Ranch', and it was the same number as the 'Nini', but the F650 needed to be customized, and the waiting time was long, so he had to settle for the second best thing and chose this F150 that could be picked up on the spot.
In the past few days, the F150 has indeed lived up to its reputation, walking on the ground in the pasture, and the pulling force is also great, and it can even act as a tractor head, pulling all kinds of prefabricated houses and construction machinery to run around in the ranch.
After driving this kind of big guy, Xiao Feng suddenly found that the previous sports car was too petty, and he couldn't inspire any heroic feelings.
…………
Montana is a vast and sparsely populated state, and the 'Dream Ranch' is nearly 10 miles from the nearest palm town, with only a few farms and pastures behind the dense woods, and you may not be able to touch a car in ten minutes, which is simply unimaginable in China.
It's normal to think about it, the land area of the United States is similar to that of China, but their population is less than a quarter of China, plus most of the population of the United States is concentrated in the east and west coastal areas, and the mountainous areas in the northwest are naturally sparsely populated.
Driving here in Helena, you should always keep an eye out for all kinds of animals coming out of the roadside woods, and you can often see flattened rabbit skins on the road, even Xiao Feng almost hit a white-tailed deer two days ago.
Sometimes, animal protection is done too well, and it's a problem!
…………
Two Ford F150 Raptor pickup trucks drove into Palm Town one after the other, immediately attracting everyone's attention. After all, fresh faces are rarely seen in small towns.
For a long time, the supply, purchase and transportation of the 'Dream Ranch' were done directly through Guò Helena, without passing through the palm town, so the townspeople did not know that the two F150s were the owners of the 'Dream Ranch' they were talking about.
When Xiao Feng and Ma Wanli jumped out of the car, the onlookers in the town were also a little surprised, because it was rare to see yellow people in this vicinity.
Some people with a lively mind immediately thought of the Chinese owner of the 'Dream Ranch'. It seems that these two pickup trucks are from the 'Dream Ranch'!
The details can reflect a lot of information, and the 'Dream Ranch' casually opened the king of the ranch, and it seems that it is indeed wealthy.
"Uncle Ma, where are we going to recruit cowboys?" Xiao Feng turned his head and asked, ignoring the constant glances around him.
In the past, when I was in China, some people on the Internet said that Chinese people liked to watch the excitement the most, but now it seems that Lao Mei is not necessarily much better.
Xiao Feng remembered that when he was a child in Yuji Town, he occasionally saw a car from other places. I and my friends will watch from afar, and now Lao Mei is looking at herself behind the shop window, which is also a similar behavior.
"Just follow me!" Ma Wanli also worked on a ranch when he was studying in the United States, and he knows a lot about the cowboy culture in the western United States.
It is true that today's 'Jinghu Group' can completely mobilize manpower from China to operate and manage the ranch, but it is not conducive to the integration of the 'Dream Ranch' into the local atmosphere, nor is it conducive to the future development of the ranch.
As a result, Mawani hopes to be able to recruit a certain number of cowboys from nearby towns. In this way, the 'Dream Ranch' will have a sense of identity in the minds of the local people, and many things will be more convenient in the future.
The location where Marwani parked his car was right in front of a tavern. Outside the door hangs a shotgun, a cowboy hat and a wine jug, which is also full of strong western style.
When Xiao Feng and Ma Wanli walked into the tavern, the crisp sound of bells attracted the attention of everyone in the tavern, and everyone was even more curious when they saw that they were two yellow people with raw faces!
"Welcome to Old John's Tavern, what are you two going to do?" the bearded boss standing behind the bar had a golden gleam in his eyes. Say hello loudly!
"Two beers!" said Marwanli, raising his hand, "We're coming from Dream Ranch and we're hoping to hire some good cowboys in Palm Town!"
Ma Wanli knows that these taverns act as information exchange stations, and the cowboys' personalities are very direct, and they don't need to be around like ordinary business negotiations!
"'Dream Ranch'! this is easy!" nodded Old John. He beckoned to a corner of the tavern, "Bob, two of your peers here, you can talk!"
After coming to the 'Dream Ranch', Ma Wanli seems to have recovered his original cowboy life in the United States, whether it is dress or temperament, it is not much different from some old cowboys, as for Xiao Feng, who is also dressed as a cowboy these days, he does not look like a super rich man.
Old John was sharp-eyed, knowing that these two would at least not be those boys and boring rich men who came here to have fun, so he quickly made a decision.
After a while, a burly middle-aged man with a height of at least 190 walked to the bar, his dark face exuding the experience of time and wind and frost, which made Xiao Feng's eyes shine!
Xiao Feng didn't know what the procedure for recruiting cowboys was, so he didn't open his mouth, watching Ma Wanli communicate with the middle-aged man, then don't say it, the beer in Old John's Tavern tastes good!
Xiao Feng knows that in order for the 'Dream Ranch' to succeed, in addition to its own construction, some external integration is also crucial.
Today, even if it is the beginning of Xiao Feng and 'Dream Ranch' to contact the western cowboy culture!(To be continued......
