Chapter Seventy-Four: Daughter??
"Is there nothing between us to say but money? I remember when you were a child, you liked to go to the ranch where I worked, and at that time, you could ride horses and catch sheep......" Hearing the woman's words, Burke-Dahler laughed self-deprecatingly, and then muttered quietly as if he was talking to the woman, as if he was talking to himself.
"Don't say it, you know, it was when I was a child, now that I'm grown up, I also want my own life, and if I want to live, the most basic thing is money, I don't want to be like you, I am poor all my life, and I can't even pay alimony after divorce." However, the girl was even more resolute, and didn't give Burke Dahler a chance to finish speaking, she waved her hand directly and yelled loudly, hearing her words, Burke Dahler on the other side couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then the self-deprecating expression on her face became heavier.
"Whoever said he would be poor all the time, the man who worked on my manor would not earn less than Moses Adams, who sat in the house." Hearing this, Jiang Hai finally couldn't help it, although he didn't want to be nosy, but he felt that this was the time when he, the boss, was going to make a move, yes, now Burke-Dahler's income is indeed not too much.
The income of 750 US dollars a week, that is, the income of 39,000 US dollars all year round, is not even as good as the middle class of the US imperialists, but don't forget, Jiang Hai's benefits have not been counted, including his water, electricity, Internet, food, drink, and housing, but they don't need to spend money, and these money together must be about 10,000 US dollars.
The most important thing is that the above 39,000 US dollars is a dead salary, when Jiang Hai's cattle make money, according to the situation of the US emperor, it is natural to pay dividends, and the amount of dividends will be divided according to the mood of the manor owner, but if they really earn more than 100 million for themselves, then Jiang Hai will not be stingy with the 100,000 yuan, and when the time comes, just this money, if they share it, it will not be a problem for one person to pay more than 100,000 yuan, plus the basic salary, it is not a matter to earn 200,000 US dollars a year.
The most important thing is that this money can be saved, and it is precisely because they see such a prospect that these people work so hard, even when Jiang Hai is not looking at them, they are still working so hard, for what? Naturally, it's for this real money! So now after Jiang Hai heard this, he stood up as soon as possible and refuted this woman.
But after standing up, Jiang Hao regretted it, because he was really embarrassed at this time.
"I'm sorry." Seeing Jiang Hai standing there, the father and daughter were obviously stunned for a moment, and then the girl named Penelope lowered her head and walked past Jiang Hai's side, as for Burke Dahler, she sighed and walked to Jiang Hai's side, and then the two men glanced at each other and walked to the gate of the villa.
Sitting there, blowing a cold wind, Burke Dahler told Jiang Hai a story...... To be exact, his real events.
Burke Dahler is an old cowboy, this has been said before, but he learned the skills of cowboys at a very young age, and then began to become a cowboy, at the end of the twentieth century, in fact, the cowboy industry was still quite popular.
Especially in the east, he made some money in those years, and later, like most ranchers, he got a piece of land and built a ranch by himself, but because of poor investment, he went bankrupt in 03.
It was also that year that his wife divorced him with her daughter, and he lived a life of a bachelor plus paying off debts.
It took him five years to work to pay off his debts, but then there was a financial turmoil, and his cowboy job was difficult to support himself, let alone do anything else, and at that time, his daughter also went to college, but unfortunately, he was a father, and his daughter went to college, but he couldn't get a penny.
Since then, his wife and daughter, who were originally a little distant from him, have become more and more distant from him.
They think that Burke-Dahler is like this in this life, there is no future, compared to the money worship of Burke-Dahler's wife, his daughter may just hate the mentality of iron and steel, but after all, she has been instilled by Burke-Dahler's ex-wife since she was a child, and the idea that being a cowboy is not making money makes her more and more cold to her father.
Listening to Burke Dahler's words, although there was some one-sided meaning, Jiang Hai still touched his chin.
Burke Dahler doesn't hate his ex-wife because he knows that everyone has the right to pursue their own happiness.
Since she thinks that she can't be happy here, let her go, I heard that she is now in New York, married to a financier, and is living a decent life, at least in material terms, much happier than when she was with him before.
So Burke-Dahler didn't say much, but his daughter's words made him feel very uncomfortable.
"Don't worry, I don't know if there is money to be a cowboy, but I know that as long as you follow me, at least in terms of making money, you don't have to worry." After Burke-Dahler finished speaking, Jiang Hai was silent for a while, then got up, returned to the house, quietly took out two bottles of beer and walked out, handed Burke-Dahler a bottle, and then took a big sip himself, took a deep breath, Jiang Hai said to Burke-Dahler, he is not confident in himself, but confident in his own blood!
"Then I'll bet on you, boss." Hearing Jiang Hai's words, he didn't know if it was because the cow he killed today gave Burke Dahler confidence, he also laughed and said to Jiang Hai.
When the two said this, they couldn't help but smile at each other, and then drank again......
The night's dinner, on the whole, was still enjoyed by the guests and hosts, and as the time came to about ten o'clock in the evening, the dinner was officially dispersed, and the driver drove the car to send the grateful Murray Smith back to Winthrop before returning to Boston, but before leaving, Jiang Hai told Moses Adams about paying taxes on his side.
However, for Moses Adams, he is a professional lawyer, not a professional accountant, but the lawyer and the accountant are also close relations, so he has a way to contact the accountant to calculate the taxes he has to pay for Jiang Hai.
However, it is still very early for him to pay his taxes, and the time to file his taxes is April every year, and it is only November.
It will be too late to wait until March next year to prepare for the tax return.
Now Jiang Hai is talking to him, just to mention it, after all, these things are very important.
After today's dinner, Jiang Hai's manor has once again entered a peaceful life, of course, this so-called peace is only on the surface, everyone's life is very dull every day, but it is very fulfilling.
What Jiang Hai has to do every day is very simple, get up every morning, go to run laps, then have breakfast, practice the martial arts taught by Bell in the morning, and then go to lunch, in the afternoon, or watch basketball games at home, or play games, or lie on the balcony on the second floor to read novels, go on the Internet, and then go to dinner in the evening, after dinner, at a later time, use the extra blood in his body to transform the grassland of the manor, under Jiang Hai's slow transformation, the current grassland in the manor, It's finally finished, and he doesn't have any friends in this country anyway, so it's good to do this every day.
What Edward Anderson has to do every day is to drive an open boat and go around the open sea to see if anyone has stolen Jiang Hai's fish or something, of course, every once in a while, they will also go out together to catch a boatload of fish and come back, but these fish are not for sale, but for eating, just like the beef cattle in Jiang Hai's manor, now is not the time to sell.
At the same time, Edward did this, but also to prepare for raising fish here next year, or the day after tomorrow, he first needed to know, where there were no corals, where better farming, Jiang Hai didn't understand, he could only rely on him.
Sometimes Philemon or Bell will go to help him, Jiang Hai will naturally go to help, when they go to sea together, it is much better to have a companion, as for the lobster that Jiang Hai wants to eat, but he has not believed it, the weather is too cold now, and it is a happy thing to go into the water to touch the lobster in the real water, and Jiang Hai is not good at exposing himself too much in front of the other party, so he has not eaten it, but in beef, and fish, as well as countless shrimp and crabs, and lobsters, it can be postponed for the time being.
The most important thing is Robbins and their cowboys, but they feel very happy now, what these people have to do every day is to drive the cow and the sheep out of the cowshed, go around outside, and then rush back before dark, as the weather gets colder and colder, in fact, the cattle on other nearby estates are already ready to start fattening.
However, Robbins and others will still drive a circle of cattle with the help of cattle dogs every day, mainly because the grass in Jiang Hai's manor has not died on a large scale because of the arrival of winter, which makes Robbins and others very surprised At the same time, they are also very happy, after all, dry grass is not as nutritious as fresh grass, these grasses nourished by Jiang Hai with blood can be said to be the most nutritious grass in the world, and even in addition to eating grass, these cattle do not need too much concentrate feed to grow stronger and stronger. These things are in the eyes of Robbins and others, and they are happy in their hearts.
Every day they were thinking that if these cattle looked like the cows killed that day, then this manor would be profitable, and at that time, according to Jiang Hai's generosity, it was estimated that they would not be disappointed.
No one will be resistant to the green knife, at least the people in Jiang Hai Manor will not feel like this at present, and unconsciously, time is slowly passing, Jiang Hai Manor transformation plan, the inland side is finally over.
Not only has he renovated all the grasslands, but even the vegetable garden over there has also been transformed, obviously the vegetables he has eaten recently taste much better than before, but after all, it is already winter, but Jiang Hai estimates that when he plants it again next year, this thing will taste better, which is also his confidence in his blood.
In such a leisurely life, the first heavy snow of the year is also quietly coming.
