Kent explained: "There are many ways to borrow roads, especially because our ranch is so big that if people want to go to the other side, they either have to take a detour or they have to come to us to borrow it." In the past, technology was not as advanced as it is now, and the grass was basically dependent on the sky, so in winter, in addition to preparing hay, another way was to move livestock to another place where there was grass. If you use a car to pull it, you must have to take a detour, which is far away once you detour, although you can also get there, but it must be time-consuming and laborious. So if you can, the owners of these livestock want to be able to go through other people's pastures, which not only saves time, but also makes it convenient. ”

"If you want me, I still like to use a board car to pull a better, just a little detour, in fact, it's more convenient, just through other people's pastures, there will be more trouble, if others lose their livestock and are relied on, wouldn't it be more difficult?" Gossi didn't think there was anything convenient about the borrowing that Kent said, but it was true that it saved time.

"Well, it should be like this now, in the past, roads were not as convenient as they are now, trucks were not as easy to use as they are now, not every rancher can afford them, especially family farms, although there are fewer livestock, but it is more troublesome. Of course, what you mentioned is also a problem, so you have to be someone who is familiar with each other and trusts each other to feel comfortable doing such things. Nowadays, many people only have profits in their eyes, and many people here are not mainly raising livestock after buying a ranch, they are all transforming the ranch into a tourist resort, mainly to entertain tourists, so it is almost impossible to let the livestock of other people's pastures pass. Kent said with a smile.

"So that's the case, then when you encounter such a thing in the future, you can do it yourself, I am not familiar with the people here, but I still hope to have a good relationship with them, but there is one point, it is best to say things in advance, we have a saying in China that the brothers settle accounts, they pass by, their livestock are responsible for themselves, and we do not bear any responsibility if they lose them, this is a matter of principle." Gao Xi thought about it, although he hadn't encountered such a thing yet, but if he did, he was still willing to help, especially since he was an outsider, and it was still very important to have a good relationship with the locals at this stage.

"Actually, the livestock thing is easy to do, and Thomas used to be a farmer who would do it conveniently, so he has a good reputation in this area, and there will be people willing to help him with anything. The key is another thing. Kent frowned.

"Anything else to borrow?"

"Yes, most of this area has actually been converted into tourist attractions now, with Yellowstone National Park as the center, with Yellowstone Canyon, Yellowstone River, and many ranches dedicated to tourism. It is precisely that these places are on the other side of our ranch, so it is estimated that there are more people who borrow the way. In the past, we have encountered a tour group that wants to go to the mountains over there, and it will save a lot of time through our ranch, and the road is easy to walk. These tourists were all foreigners, so Thomas refused to do so, and there have been more than one occasion in the past when tourists have stolen lambs raised by others while passing by the ranch. Kent said.

"Then it's better to refuse, after all, the tourists are too complicated, and they are not locals, so I don't need to bother them." Gossey thought for a moment.

"But the owner of the West Farm, I think that our ranch is so big, the profit of simple grazing will definitely not be high, if it can be properly opened for tourism, it is a good way to make profits, what do you think?" Kent suggested.

"I haven't thought about this yet, let's talk about it later, now it's better to do my duty in a down-to-earth manner. I've heard that private property in the United States is inviolable, and if I refuse, no one will dare to take it from my ranch, right?" Gossey asked.

"Of course, that's usually the case. However, it is not absolute, if it is the government or the police, they can force it. This kind of thing, you will know later, the so-called sanctity of private property is just the plot in the movie, the general situation. Kent shook his head and said: "In fact, many organizations dare to know the law and break the law, such as Eric's animal protection organization, if they suspect that you are abusing animals, they will definitely dare to break in, and even the government can't do anything about these organizations." ”

"So exaggerated?"

"You don't have to worry too much, Lord Xichang, I just remind you, this is also a special situation, and under normal circumstances, the inviolability of private property is absolutely sacred and correct." Kent explained with a smile when he saw that Gaucy suddenly became nervous.

"It should be a little better than the situation in China, right?"

"I don't know much about the situation in China, but it should be much better."

"That's good, in fact, I think ah, these organizations are so arrogant, it's all because they are united enough, when they make trouble, they are all organized in groups. I was thinking, can't we have ranchers and farmers here join forces? Forming a farm association or something?" Gao Xi is accustomed to seeing things that Chinese law does not blame the public, so in his thinking, the best way to fight for his own interests is to unite.

"We have dealt with the association before, the old owner of Thomas turned out to be the chairman of this association, but after he left, the association is now basically in a semi-paralyzed state. No one is convinced, there are some situations you may not know very well, there are very few traditional ranches in the United States today, most of the ranches are vacations and livestock at the same time, and many are even bought by Wall Street financiers for vacations, and their hearts are not with us people at all. Once something happens, they won't come forward, and they have never attended the association's meetings. Kent sighed and said, "If only you could bear this burden." ”

"Me? I'd better forget it, I'm unqualified, I'm inexperienced, and I'm not familiar with the people here. If you ask me to be the president of this association, who will be convinced. I think you're more suitable than me to be the president or chairman. Okay, since that's the case, let's take care of our business for the time being. Although Gao Xi said so, he didn't think so in his heart.

The Chinese who come to the United States are always not interested in politics, which leads to the fact that in the American society, although the Chinese can make money very much, they will always suffer when they pay attention to certain interests. He Gao Xi didn't plan to talk about going into politics, but he didn't want to hand over his fate to others, he hoped that in addition to making money, he would also have a certain amount of power here, at least to protect his ranch.

Especially after reading the news about the United States ranchers uniting against the federal government, he understood that in this part of the United States, you must not expect others to shelter you, and you will always be the only one who can protect yourself.

Those capitalists can live comfortably because they control politics, they control the government. He doesn't have that much ambition, but if he doesn't even have the ability to protect himself, then he can't do it.

So he must be the president of this association, but not now, now he is not qualified enough, what he has to do now is to try to make those ranchers around him feel his kindness, and then integrate into their lives, so that they feel that he is his own person.
