502.The Big Demon King of the Fat Cat (3/5)
Wang Bo comforted the old man a few words, and the old man pulled him and began to chatter.
The ranch was bought by his grandfather during World War II, when the world was chaotic and prices were low, and his grandfather exchanged ten cows and five thousand dollars for 400 acres of land.
Later, with the hard work of his grandfather and his father, the ranch was expanded and the surrounding land was acquired, eventually owning the area it is now thousands of acres.
The ranch passed from his grandfather to his father, and then to him, and then it was over. Both of his sons hated farming, they liked the glitz and glamour, and they both went to college in the United States and stayed in the United States.
As the old man gets older, he begins to miss the life of his family together, and the reason why he is willing to sell his ranch during this bad time is because his wife has just passed away this year.
Alone in the place where his wife died, the old man couldn't bear it anymore and finally decided to sell the ranch, even if it was cheap.
After the party, Wang Bo and Vince signed the contract in the presence of Leonard, and the old man asked, "Which bank are you going to borrow from?" ”
Wang Bo said: "Cash transactions. ”
Vince and Leonard: "......"
He bought a pretty good ranch, and when he was preparing for the event on Sunday, people kept talking to him about Wensi's ranch. In fact, there are many rich tycoons among these people, but they are not willing to invest in ranches now.
In the words of one of the ranchers, "With the money, I might as well go to Auckland and buy an apartment, and sell it for the money I could earn for years of running a ranch." ”
The South Island has been a bit dry since last year, and this year it is even drier, and no one knows the situation next year.
Because of the global economic crisis, New Zealand's economy is very bad, the price of agricultural and animal husbandry products has not risen for a long time, and now many people's pastures are losing money, so they are unwilling to invest in buying land.
After the exchange, Wang Bo had some ideas, taking advantage of the current tide of price reduction of New Zealand farms and ranches, he couldn't buy a wave by himself and get dozens of his ranches.
Although New Zealand has a lot of large pastures, it is still dominated by small and medium-sized pastures, after all, the country has a limited area, and it is impossible to produce super pastures with an area of tens of thousands of square kilometers like the United States and Australia.
In the South Island, many pastures only have tens of thousands of square meters, which is converted into an area of a few hectares and dozens of hectares, and if it is converted into square kilometers, it will be even smaller, all of which are a few tenths of a few square kilometers.
Such pastures, as long as they are not land bank nature, are not high, especially now that the farm and ranch market is sluggish, it is even cheaper.
His plan is to sell it to Asian immigrants in the future, most of whom have a sense of land, and many of them are very rich, so it should be a good business.
However, this kind of investment is of a professional nature, and he has to go back to ask the domineering president for advice, and he can't do it alone.
Starting on Sunday, the carnival begins.
The so-called carnival is to give everyone a leisure opportunity, so that everyone can get to know each other, enhance feelings, and enhance contacts, so the activities are organized separately and in a small group nature.
Situated on an alpine fault between the Pacific Plate and the Australian and Indian Ocean Tectonic Plates, Fiordland National Park is home to a diverse landscape of fjords, rocky shores, cliffs, mountain lakes and waterfalls.
So, there are a lot of activities that can be carried out, hiking, rafting, fishing, camping, etc., and the preference is for a relaxed holiday stream, which is the theme of this year's carnival, and last year it was gambling, and all ran to the Auckland casino.
The light rain that lasted for a day ended in the early hours of the morning, and Wang Bo chose to climb the mountain and work as a team with Motak, Leonard and others.
After breakfast in the morning, they prepared their luggage and set off on a hike up the mountain.
This time I was going to stay in the mountains for a few days, so the group, regardless of men, women and children, all carried heavy luggage, Wang Bo carried two tents and tools such as stoves and pots, and the backpack was more than 50 kilograms.
Big Fat and Second Fat also carried small bags on their backs, as if they were strapped with explosives bags, and their backpacks were filled with small things such as sunscreen and mosquito repellent.
Wang Bo and Eva walked at the back of the line, holding hands, chatting softly as they walked.
The forest was full of birdsong and insects, and from time to time wild flowers appeared on the roadside, and after a moment of silence, the fat cat brothers climbed up the hill on their short legs.
This time, they targeted New Zealand's largest alpine lake, Lake Manapoli, which means "sad lake" in Maori, and is surrounded by mountains, with an area of nearly 200 square kilometres, about 29 kilometres long and a maximum depth of 443 metres.
It is said that the view of the lake from the top of the mountain is beautiful, and their goal is to climb to a point where the peak overlooks the lake of Sadness and stop to camp.
Wang Bo followed them all the way, but because Eva had to go back to work tomorrow, they would stop at noon, then camp to rest, and choose to go down the mountain at dawn to send Eva away.
There are 25 species of rare or endangered plants in Fiordland National Park, 22 species endemic to the park, and 21 species of plants with very small distribution areas concentrated in the fjord zone.
Two-thirds of the area is covered with pristine beech and podocarpus forests, and it is this tree that they see most on the road, but after climbing for a while, the Ruimu tear pine begins to appear.
In the dense forest of Ruimu tear pine, many animals and birds live here, including many species of squirrels.
Everyone will not bother these animals, but the Fat Cat Brotherhood, the two of them are very naughty, and when they find a squirrel, they immediately chase after it.
The squirrels originally saw that the big fat and the second fat were short-legged and fat, and there were things tied to their bodies, so they didn't pay attention to them.
But then, they understood that they should not underestimate their opponents at any time.
It's true that rabbits are not good at running on flat ground, but they are good at climbing mountains! Especially in the dense forest, running and jumping can do anything, and moving forward and backward is as fast as the wind!
Erpang climbed a big pine tree, Wang Bo was worried that it would fall down at first, but it turned out to be very flexible, after climbing up, it chased a squirrel, chicken, flying dog, jumped, and finally ran back, holding a dying red squirrel in its mouth.
Running to Wang Bo, it opened its mouth to release the little squirrel, the little squirrel tried to get up and wanted to run, but the second fat immediately went up and slapped it to the ground, with a smug expression on the fat face.
Eva lifted it up and made the little squirrels limp away, if it wasn't for the food, there was no need to hurt the critters.
Then the big fat also ran out with something in his mouth, and when he saw the squirrel limping away, it rolled its eyes and let go of the prey in its mouth.
