Chapter Ninety-Nine: It Turned Out to Be a Peer
"I won't go, the child still has to be taken care of by me, his father only does engineering, even if it's the summer vacation, he's very busy, alas." At first, Jonny seemed very happy to hear Gao Xi's invitation, but after thinking about it, she shook her head helplessly.
"Youth is short, you can think clearly, I heard that your husband is still quite rich, can't he even travel abroad for free, if he is not at ease, let him go with him, but I won't reimburse his plane ticket, hehe." Gao Xi said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll talk to him and get back to you as soon as possible." Qiao Ni can be regarded as a person who has seen the world, although she has not read much, but she went out to work when she was very young, and she has more places than Gao Xi has been before, and she doesn't want to be tied to her children and husband for the rest of her life.
Liu Xiaogang sighed helplessly and said: "Gao Xi, I may not be able to go, but I will definitely go when I have time in the future, you said that you have food and accommodation, it's no problem for me to bring a few friends, right?"
"It's free for you, and your friends get a 50% discount." Gao Xi laughed.
"Slam the door!"
"Gao Xi, I can't go either, my child's body is very weak, I have to take care of it, and I can't get out." Zhang Fengli politely declined Gao Xi's invitation, in fact, this is also reasonable, if she goes alone, it will be very embarrassing.
"Gao Xi, I have also been to the United States, I went to Yellowstone Park with my family at that time, and I heard that the ranch there is not small, and the land is cheap. However, compared with Canada and Australia, it is still a bit expensive, so it seems that many people have gone to Australia to buy land and set up farms recently, and it seems that Australia's policy is also better, and it is easier to become a naturalized citizen than the United States. Zhang Fengli's husband Liu Yu wanted to fit into these topics, and finally found an opportunity.
Gao Xi has no ill will towards him, but he doesn't have a good impression of him, especially after listening to Liu Xiaogang's words, although he doesn't want to interfere in other people's private lives, but he always has a bad feeling in his heart, so when he talks about this topic, he also has the meaning of deliberately doing it: "I don't know what the Australian policy is, but I am now an American citizen, and the land is not expensive, the ranch I bought is located in Montana, this state does not charge state taxes, only some local taxes, and it is very low, there is nothing bad." ”
"That's right, how big is your ranch, the last time I went to a ranch for horseback riding, it had to be about 10,000 acres." Liu Yu didn't seem to hear the disgust in Gao Xi's words, but continued to ask with a smile.
Gao Xi can't do anything about this kind of person, after all, he doesn't stretch out his hand to hit the smiling person, and others haven't offended you, so you can't play hard with him, that's his own faux pas, he is not a child anymore, he doesn't like to be angry so much, so he said casually: "It's not much, it's about 70,000 acres." ”
"Seventy thousand acres! Oh my God, there is only one acre of land in our village, and you have 70,000 acres at once, which is much more than the land of all the people in our village combined. But then again, how do you convert acres to acres?" Although Liu Xiaogang didn't know how to convert acres and acres, he was not stupid after all, and he also knew that the two units were different. So I asked more.
"I know this, one acre is about a little more than six acres in China, if calculated according to the qualified units per mu, 70,000 acres is seven times six, 420,000 acres of land!" Liu Yu seems to know a lot about the unit of acres abroad, and Gao Xi realized that he doesn't seem to know what this Liu Yu does.
"What's that? 420,000 acres of land!"
At this time, the fellow at the next table also heard Liu Yu's words, and was so frightened that he threw the beer bottle on the ground, and said drunkenly and loudly: "Everyone has heard it, 420,000 acres of land, as far as those landlords in our old society are concerned, they are only more than a dozen acres or 20 acres of land, my God, this is a big landowner." ”
"Look at your stupidity, Xixi is in the United States, does the United States know? There are few people, but there is a lot of land, and if you have money, you can buy it. ”
However, even the person who said this was only calm on the surface, but he was already shocked in his heart, a person owns 420,000 acres of land, which is like a dream, they have little land here, even if it is a township land, I am afraid that there is not so much.
"West, you kid is mixed outside, and you can also drive the development of our village, don't just enjoy yourself outside." Someone shouted.
"Yes, West, our village used to be pretty good, but over the years, other villages have been requisitioned a lot of land, and they have become nouveau riche, our village is too far away from the city, no one wants our land, and farming has not made money over the years, and it has lost money, many people don't want to plant even if the land is wasted, they want to go outside to work, and it is better than farming at home, we don't ask you for anything, just create a little employment for the village, so that everyone has a job to do."
Hearing this, Gao Xi smiled bitterly in his heart, he also thought about repaying the kindness of his hometown, but not now, his current ranch has just started, but he doesn't have so much spare money, but when he really has spare money in the future, he will definitely invest in the village, after all, this is a place to give birth to himself and raise himself.
"Shut up, this kid has just gained a foothold in the United States, and you are asking him to do this and that, what do you want to do? Xixi I watched grow up, what habits does this child have, I know best, if he can help us, he will definitely help, what are you anxious about? Who says you don't make money if you grow something in the field? All of them are lazy, just know that they are waiting for the country to take over the land, right?"
It was an old man with a lot of prestige in the village who spoke, which could be regarded as relieving Gao Xi, otherwise Gao Xi would be really embarrassed, and he couldn't do anything for the village when he returned to his hometown, although no one forced him, but he felt quite bad in his heart.
"Okay, okay, meat can't stop your mouth, really."
The village chief also spoke, he is a smart man, he knows that these things are not urgent, and he is even more forced, besides, he also understands the child Gao Xi, if he really has spare money, he will definitely consider the development of the village, and the reason why he didn't do that is definitely not loose now.
In fact, their understanding is still a little misunderstood, Gao Xi doesn't have any great ideals, he just wants to do a good job of his pasture, don't be too tired, ride a horse every day, hunt, and accompany his family, such a day is what he wants most.
As for becoming the richest man in the world, he really doesn't want to do it for the tiring work of making endless money, he admits that he has no ambitions and just wants to live a comfortable life.
But then again, even if he wants to invest in the village, he will not refuse, but this is an investment, not a relief, he will not do anything without returns, even if he has spare money, he has to plan it well.
Of course, not now, at this stage he has only one purpose, that is, to make his ranch in the United States well, and that is enough.
Seeing that everyone no longer talked about investment, Gao Xi was also relieved, only to hear Liu Yu smile bitterly: "Alas, I have also encountered such a thing, you probably don't know it, I have a fishing ground in Australia, the name is Golden Fishery, the scale is not small, when I went back to my hometown, it was even worse than you, and a leader came to me and asked me to invest, but we are businessmen, no return on investment, or small return on investment, who does it, domestic land is so expensive." ”
Hearing this, Gao Xi also shook his head with a smile, he suddenly felt that his relationship with Liu Yu was much closer, if this kid was not a playboy, presumably the two of them might become good friends.
