In the center of the pasture, there are two farms with an area of more than 1.5 square kilometers each, which grow soybeans, corn and other crops, and the range of the 21 old oil wells is mostly in these two farms.
After spending the morning browsing this ranch, Tang Feng expressed his love for this ranch at the first time. And with Jack. Jones agreed that if he had successfully purchased the 21 old wells at the Houston Old Well Auction a month later, he would be able to buy the ranch.
Of course, this ranch Tang and Jack. Jones verbally agreed that the deal was for $25 million.
After coming out of the ranch, Tang declined Jack. Jones's invitation to lunch drove Sophia back to Lakeview.
Tang Feng is very satisfied with this ranch, but there is one disadvantage, that is, if you want to go from Jones Ranch to Lakeview, the distance is only four or five kilometers in a straight line, if you count from the Neckis River, there is only a Neckis River in the middle, and the distance between the two is not even a hundred meters, but if you want to get from the ranch to Lakeview, you have to go around Ivadale in the north or Beaumont in the south, and walk more than 30 kilometers. Because the forty or fifty meters wide Neckis River is perfectly blocked between Jones Ranch and Lakeview, and there is not a single bridge for traffic or pedestrians on the almost forty-kilometer stretch of the river from Ivadale to Beaumont!
But it's no wonder that this is the case, most of the land here is private land, and the government wants to build roads from these private lands, and it costs a lot of money, so there are very few roads on these private roads, and even if there are, they are only private roads. If there are no roads, why build bridges over rivers?
This made Tang Feng feel very uncomfortable. If you really buy this pasture in the future, then this small Neckis River will become a moat, Sophia lives in the east of the river, and she is in the west of the river, no matter how you look at it, she looks like a cowherd and a weaver girl
"Paralyzed, this is not good, just with this bad gimmick, after Lao Tzu buys this ranch, he will say that he will have to build a bridge to the other side of Sophia's house!" Tang Feng thought in his heart while driving.
There is no hotel in Lakeview Town, and after Tang Feng came over this time, he had to return to Beaumont's hotel every day, but after finalizing the deal of Jones Ranch this time, Tang Feng was not ready to stay here anymore, so Sophia took a three-day leave and accompanied Tang Feng to the famous Houston.
In Houston, Tang Feng and Sophia played happily for three days, as the fourth largest city in the United States and the sixth largest port in the world, there are still a lot of places to play in Houston. Of course, with the company of a beloved girl, let alone Houston, even the desolate Nevada desert can become extremely interesting.
Lakeview is only 200 kilometers from Houston, so Sophia is half a landowner, and Sophia just graduated from Rice University last year, and she went to college in Houston for four years.
When you arrive in Houston, you can't miss going to the Johnson Space Center to have a look, in the past, you can always see astronauts calling "Houston" in outer space in the movies, so since you are here this time, the "Houston" that is the Johnson Space Center is naturally not missable when you listen to the "Houston" that your ears are calloused in the movie.
In the space center, Tang Feng and Sophia took the space center's tour bus to visit the space capsule, space shuttle, space station and other laboratories. In the exhibition hall, you can also see a variety of space instruments, the history of astronautics displayed in the exhibition hall introduces the development process from rockets to space shuttles, and there is a schematic diagram of the "fire" set off in China at the beginning of the 12th century, marking the enlightenment of the principle of today's space rocket in ancient China.
After visiting the Johnson Space Center, accompanied by Sophia, Tang Feng came to Sophia's alma mater, Rice University, known as the "Harvard of the South". The university is the best university in Texas, ranked 30th overall in the United States, and the number one comprehensive university in the Southwest region.
Of course, when you come to Houston, you can't miss the Houston Rockets game. As a Chinese, Tang Feng's feelings for Team Rocket are still quite deep. When Tang Feng was in high school, it was when Yao Ming, Yao Daer and Maddie led the Rockets in the NBA, although the Rockets' record at that time was not very good, but at that time, the young people in China generally regarded the Rockets as their parent team!
Later, although Yao Ming, the first foreign champion of the NBA, retired due to injury, the team owner Leslie who tasted the sweetness of using Chinese-American players. Alexander immediately signed "Lin Crazy" Jeremy Lin from the free market, so that the Chinese people's attention to the Rockets has not decreased much, compared to other teams in the NBA, the Rockets are still the parent team in the minds of the Chinese people.
Especially this year, the Rockets' record is unprecedentedly good, although the playoffs have not yet begun, but the Rockets' second place in the West and first place in the Southwest Division are the best results of the Rockets in the past two decades.
On the evening of April 14, at the Toyota Center, Tang Feng and Sophia shouted wildly with the audience, and witnessed the Rockets cleanly kill the Hornets with a score of 100:90!
Although Tang Feng has been in the United States for more than two years, he has never been to watch the NBA live, and this time he finally experienced the frenzied atmosphere of watching the game live, and he was addicted.
After watching this game, tomorrow is the day when Tang Feng leaves the United States to go to Australia, these days, Tang Feng and Sam have been in touch, seeing that things are coming to an end in Australia, Tang Feng is also ready to leave for Australia, and then completely solve all the things over there.
After returning from the court, Tang Feng and Sophia lingered in the hotel, and the days of getting together were always short, but they were also preparing for the next reunion. After Tang Feng completely settles the matter on the Australian side, he can stay in Lakeview for a while.
Early the next morning, Sophia drove Tang to George, north of Houston. Bush Intercontinental Airport, named after the 41st President of the United States, George H.W. Bush, is located 37 kilometers from Houston and offers direct flights to Sydney, Australia.
The sadness of parting made the two young people not very happy, but the broadcast that kept reminding tourists to board the plane finally made Tang Feng kiss Sophia goodbye ruthlessly, and told Depp and Donnie to accompany Sophia well, and then boarded the flight to Sydney alone under the reluctant gaze of one person and two dogs.
