Chapter 040: American Ranch
"I want to invest a separate share of China's investment this time," Avr said frankly to Lu Xiancheng: "I want to take at least three percent more of your investment quota, or more simply, I will inject capital to directly establish a joint venture with you."
When Lu Xiancheng heard this, he immediately said with a bitter face: "I really can't say anything about this!" ”。
Looking at the disbelief on Aveer's side, he opened his mouth and said: "I didn't invest on a large scale in China, even this time I didn't withdraw funds, it's not me talking nonsense, you can check it carefully." This time, the main Chinese capital came from Mike and Bruce, and I didn't invest a penny into it, so naturally I didn't have much say in the share capital."
"Really!" Seeing that Afur still had an expression of disbelief, Lu Xiancheng couldn't help but emphasize it again.
After glancing at Lu Xiancheng's face several times, he was a little convinced, but his mouth began to mumble: "What a weirdo!" ”。
For someone like Avere, money is not only a proof of his ability, but also the cornerstone of his position in the family. Like Ned and Mendel, it's not because they got in touch with Lu Xiancheng early that they made money together, and now their respective status is steadily improving.
Therefore, for Lu Xiancheng's behavior of not making money, Afur expressed great incomprehension, and gave great contempt in his heart.
In her eyes, Lu Xiancheng has become a weirdo or a fool, China's death is a fart! For people who are bent on asking for money, what is the difference between Chinese money and American money, it is all money! Unless one day they're all wasted paper, which was the same for Avor until then.
"I thought I was lucky tonight, I met a big fish and it was automatically delivered to the door, who knew you didn't care at all. I've been playing with you for hours," Avre said disappointed.
Lu Xiancheng jokingly raised his hands: "What do you mean by vain, you haven't earned two hundred yuan from me." That's right! You're not going to throw me down now, are you? You know, I'm not very familiar with Los Angeles, and if I get a robbery, it's going to be a problem, especially when I hear that Angelenos like to rob Chinese Americans."
"Why do you always like to carry a lot of cash with you?" Afur asked again, looking at Lu Xiancheng.
"Get used to it" Lu Xiancheng didn't know how to explain to Afur, so he casually found an excuse to prevaricate.
Originally, Avr was quite excited to meet Lu Xiancheng and get together. Who knew that Lu Xiancheng didn't care about anything at all, but Afur had no way to be angry with Lu Xiancheng, because Lu Xiancheng was not his husband, and in some sense, Lu Xiancheng was closer to a member of the California Group.
But this person will only be a contender for the interests of various families because of his nationality and identity, but now he has a certain amount of influence, so no matter what, Lu Xiancheng is trying to win him over, and it is very unwise to tear his face for no reason.
Next, Afur asked Lu Xiancheng for a while, and Lu Xiancheng had nothing to hide, so he roughly told him why he came to the United States this time.
The main purpose of Lu Xiancheng's trip was different from Du Guohao's. Lao Lu came here this time because of the racecourse, and secondly, he bought a piece of land in California, and the grass he developed has been planted on this land, not only the grass has been planted, but now even the foals have been raised, and I took it to see if it was still barren when I came last time.
In the United States, Lu Xiancheng is not as big as in China, anyway, the wasteland he likes is directly bought in the name of the company, and Lao Mei, who rents the wasteland, is welcomed with both hands. It doesn't matter what country you come from, and what country you come from, when the money falls on American soil, people think that as long as it's legal, it's a good thing.
Therefore, Lu Xiancheng naturally has a lot of wasteland here.
It's like most people hear about it. Avr didn't care about Lu Xiancheng's buying a piece of land in the nearby mountains to grow grass, and he didn't have any interest in the grass developed by the Chinese themselves, and as for what was better than alfalfa and the like, these people now listened to it as a joke, and no one believed it.
He doesn't care about ranches, and Aver doesn't care about building racetracks in China. This thing is now a pure work of paying for money, and it still has to be built in a completely different country from ******** herself, and it is impossible for Avr to jump out and pay for it, so if she does this, then she will not be Avor, but the American version of the living Lei Feng.
Threw Lu Xiancheng to the door of the hotel. Afur waved his hand and stepped on the accelerator, and the classic car roared past Lu Xiancheng's side.
Sometimes women have a natural advantage, if this matter is done by a man, everyone will feel impolite, but when a woman comes to do it, everyone thinks it is nothing. As it was now, Old Lou walked towards the hotel building, not at all feeling that there was anything excessive about Avre throwing himself at the door.
Shaking back to the room, Lu Xiancheng took a shower and honestly slept with the quilt, and slept peacefully until dawn.
When I got up, it was almost noon, everyone had eaten together, and before we were ready to go out, we met a group of Americans who came to the door enthusiastically. Naturally, these Americans did not come to accompany them to dinner, but to discuss the issue of the amount of capital that will soon enter China.
Now Du Guohao and the three of them have something to do, and Lu Xiancheng is not ready to make trouble because it has nothing to do with him, so he simply rented a car, notarized his driver's license, and drove to his valley ranch in the suburbs.
As for Chen and Xia, who had nothing to do, they 'laid' Lu Xiancheng, and they had to follow Lu Xiancheng to the American ranch to open their eyes.
After driving for an hour, Chen Yougen began to beat the drum in his heart.
"It's not there!" Chen Yougen watched the car drive towards a more and more desolate place, and couldn't help asking.
Lu Xiancheng, who was driving, glanced at him and said, "You've asked a few times along the way, almost halfway through!" ”。
"It's so far away, isn't it right next to the city of Los Angeles? It's been more than an hour and haven't arrived yet? Originally, Chen Youbian heard about the nearby valley, thinking that it was not far near the city, who knew that the more the car was driven, the more desolate it became. Eventually, it's a trail through the mountains.
Lu Xiancheng said, "It's near Los Angeles, but it's across Wilson Hill, and it's an hour and a half away."
Xia Dong said: "Isn't this coming from the provincial capital to our county soon?" ”。
"It's not that far, the roads here are all mountain roads, and it's not easy to walk," Lu Xiancheng said.
Hearing Lu Xiancheng say this, the two of them didn't say anything anymore, the two began to squat in the back seat and began to nap, waiting for Lu Xiancheng to drive the car to the gate of the ranch. The two were already snoring one after the other.
"It's here!" Lu Xiancheng roared and said.
Chen Yougen opened his eyes and looked at the surrounding environment and said: "Good guy, if no one said that this is the United States, I thought that when I arrived in our countryside, you see the desolation around here."
Lu Xiancheng said with a smile: "In terms of conditions, this place is not much worse than ours, and the mountain ups and downs here are more powerful than ours, but the overall climate is similar to ours."
The place where it is suitable for the growth of pasture, the natural climate is about the same. While talking to the two, Lu Xiancheng continued to drive along the road in the valley. Although it is already its own pasture in the sense of being from the gate of the ranch, it is not even covered with grass now, and the field is there. I can't mention the word pastoral.
Although the area is now encircled, not even a few tenths of the pasture has been planted, and now it is only planted with nearly fifty acres, so almost all the places along the way are bare, and the whole pasture looks quite shabby.
Xia Donglai stretched his head out of the window, looked around and said to Lu Xiancheng: "This place is far worse than your ranch in our township!" You see, this place is broken, it's not as good as us, and we are a little more popular. I couldn't even see a single hair after walking here for a long time."
"It's a little bit worse now, but you'll come back in a few years. It's more beautiful than in China, and the whole area is a grassland that can't be seen at a glance," Lu Xiancheng said beautifully while driving.
Not to mention that the other tens of thousands of acres of mountain wasteland are owned by themselves, and even if they are lying on the ground and rolling on the ground, they do not have this treatment. As long as the grass is planted, it is all money to use a lawn mower to cut silage or fresh grass, and it is like a small money printing machine. Although it doesn't make much money, there is no problem with the food and clothing of a family of dozens of people.
After running for a while, a two-story American-style building, a round barn, and a few large square wooden buildings lying on the ground appeared in the eyes of the three of them. Slowly, a green and crisp grass began to appear in the sight of the three of them.
"It's kind of interesting!" Chen You looked at the grass that was gradually growing on the side of the road and said.
"Do you have a shortage of people to care about" Chen You saw the difference between here and China at a glance, and opened his mouth to say: "Take care of more people!" ”。
Lu Xiancheng said: "I want to hire a little more, but the labor here in the United States is many times that of ours, and hiring a full-time person for a year will cost 250,000 yuan per person, and it will cost 30,000 US dollars a year in US dollars, which is not a high income in the United States."
As soon as Chen Yougen heard that the Americans would take more than 200,000 yuan a year, he immediately shut his mouth, and never mentioned the words of asking Lu Xiancheng to hire more people, more than 200,000 yuan, and now it is estimated that Chen Youcheng feels that he can earn this amount in almost a lifetime.
In front of Lu Xiancheng, because of the shortage of funds, he did not have the extra strength to develop at the same time, so he could only develop one side first, not to mention that not only here, but also one in Australia and Argentina, both of which have not even moved.
It's already very good that the United States can fight the front station, and Lu Xiancheng's ranch here is just to hire four people to lay a piece of grass, and take care of a few thoroughbred mares and ponies by the way, in addition to a few quart horses for ranch personnel to ride.
The entire American Ranch in Lu Xiancheng, that is, the American Company of the Pglinton Ranch Company, is now two words with a capital letter: shabby! Except for a few newly built wooden houses, there is not even a single pallet machine in sight, and the only machinery that can be used is a pickup truck that is not worth much in the United States, and it is also second-hand.
