Chapter 52: The Giraffe
The timing of the ranch's opening has been advertised, and all visitors will arrive the day before the opening.
Xu Wenjie doesn't need to worry about these things, all he has to do now is to find animals that bring fun to tourists. Besides, he'd asked Narola to help him find a way to get those poisonous creatures over.
The safety of the ranch here cannot rely on the army alone, he must have a certain amount of precautions, so those poisonous animals have become his best choice.
Driving on the grassland, Xu Wenjie found that there were indeed a lot more animals than some time ago, and it seemed that animal migration had a certain impact here.
Since these animals came to this grassland, Xu Wenjie certainly didn't want to let them go, so he was ready to increase investment in the cultivation of forage grass on the grassland. Aqueducts must be built, so that the grass can grow better.
It's the rainy season, and if you make a few big reservoirs to store water, I'm sure many animals will stay on this grassland.
This is a huge project, and it is not something that can be built if he wants to, so he is going to take his time, first get the river in front of the castle right, and then find a way to build a canal in the grassland.
After calculating for a long time, Xu Wenjie found that the money was really not enough, and such an investment in ranching, without an investment of hundreds of millions, would not have any effect at all.
If others knew that Xu Wenjie used hundreds of millions of dollars to invest in this grassland, they would definitely think that he was crazy. You must know that with these hundreds of millions, you can invest in other industries to make money, and you are guaranteed to earn more than ranches.
However, Xu Wenjie is not investing in the grassland, but in the army of animals that he may contract in the future. Now there are few animals, and he can't see the trouble, and if there are more and more animals in the future, he can't just throw these animals away.
The continent of Africa is undoubtedly the best place to deal with these animals, and the power of the government is very small, and it is generally the army that has the right to speak.
In other words, as long as he is on his own land, no matter how many animals he raises, the Kenyan government will not care about him. In fact, many of the laws here are left over from the colonial period, even some systems.
After driving for a long time, Xu Wenjie finally had a harvest, he found a group of giraffes, these guys have a contract, it is good to use them for tourists, and the giraffe personality is still relatively docile.
The problem is that these things aren't easy to approach, and they're too alert. For this reason, Xu Wenjie came up with an idea, that is, to let Simba scare these big guys from the front, and he stood on the path that the giraffe must pass through, and took the opportunity to stick his hand on it.
Simba ran out after receiving Xu Wenjie's order, and Xu Wenjie also got out of the car and got into the grass next to him.
The method was very successful, and Xu Wenjie easily signed the contract with the giraffe. However, he forgot one thing, and that was that these guys couldn't spot him, so they wouldn't hide from him.
As a result, he was almost trampled to death by these big guys, looking at the dust on his body, Xu Wenjie was a little speechless. If he had run any slower, he would have been the first to be trampled to death by a giraffe.
Simba stopped, the giraffes were still running, and Xu Wenjie drove after them.
After a while, the giraffe herd slowly stopped, and Xu Wenjie contacted the giraffe who was contracted by him, but the problem came, this guy didn't seem to be the boss of the giraffe herd, and it was a little troublesome to take this group of giraffes away.
Fortunately, although the giraffes live in groups, they live a relatively casual life and do not have any leaders, so this giraffe, named "Oba" by Xu Wenjie, can easily become the leader of this group of giraffes.
However, it may take a while for Oba to establish authority in the giraffe, and these loose guys are not so easy to obey. Luckily, these guys are not like lions and have the potential to attack humans.
Originally, Xu Wenjie was going to continue searching, but it was not too early to see the sky, so he decided to take these giraffes back first. If you bring too many animals back at once, you will inevitably arouse the suspicion of others.
The problem now is that these giraffes are kept there is a problem, there must be a place for trees, otherwise the giraffes will not be able to sleep at all!
These guys are 4-6 meters tall, and the height of their necks accounts for about half of their entire body height, and when they sleep, they can't sleep lying down like other animals, most of the time they sleep standing up, and they sleep with their heads resting on the branches.
So, these guys must live in a place where there is bush, and after thinking about it, it seems that there is only a place close to the mountains, there is such a wood, not too far from the woods where the lions rest, and it is not bad for these guys to live there.
Xu Wenjie looked at these big guys and found a strange place, most giraffes have a pair of small short horns on the top of their heads, the color is light brown, and there are also two pairs of horns behind the ears and eyes, but they are not too obvious.
But some guys also have a horn in the center of their foreheads, and these guys are not mutated breeds in giraffes.
To say that these giraffes are really amazing, with such a high head, the blood does not crush the heart. I think everyone has learned such an experiment when they were studying physics.
On top of a closed wooden barrel filled with water, add a straight enough conduit to pour water from the conduit, and when the water inside the conduit reaches a sufficient height, the barrel will be crushed.
It can only be said that this guy's heart is not ordinarily developed, if humans have this kind of heart, I believe that blood pressure will be terrifying. It can only be said that this animal is a kind of miraculous evolution in nature.
Seeing Xu Wenjie come back with a group of giraffes, the workers who were working were a little dazed, and they felt more and more mysterious about the castle owner.
Some blacks even bowed to Xu Wenjie, obviously treating him as a god.
Xu Wenjie didn't say anything about this, because he knew that it couldn't be explained to these people, and there were some things that you couldn't correct here. Even if they change it at the time, they will forget it after a while.
It's like they get any help, and instead of being grateful to the person who helped him, they will say "thank God." But they never think that God was there when they were dying of hunger, God was there when they were about to freeze to death......
For Xu Wenjie's ability, there are also some people who are no longer surprised, such as the uncle, who believes that Xu Wenjie has some mysterious connection with animals.
"Tell them that I brought these giraffes back and that if you see them, don't drive them away. After that, these guys lived on the side of the lions, in the bushes very close to the mountains. ”
"It's a good animal, it's not like a lion elephant, which can cause harm to humans."
Xu Wenjie really wanted to tell his uncle that this thing was not as safe as lions and elephants. The lions have Simba, and those lions will never do anything to harm humans. Elephants have war elephants, which is safer.
But these giraffes didn't have a leader before, and now they suddenly have a leader, and it will still be very troublesome to manage.
After sending the giraffes to the bushes, Xu Wenjie rushed back, and today he had to discuss the arrival of tourists tomorrow. The vehicle is ready, the hotel has been renovated, all wooden, without any pollution, from a distance it looks like a sea view room, built in rows against the mountain.
However, this is not called a sea view room now, it should be called a grassland view room, after coming out in the morning, standing on the observation deck in front of you, looking at the prairie in the distance, the mood of the day should be very good.
In the future, if there are all kinds of small animals here, three or five friends will get together, sit on the observation deck, drink coffee and tea, and leisurely look at the scenery on the grassland, but it will have a different taste.
Xu Wenjie found that this did not seem to be much worse than the sea-view house by the sea. Relative to the sea, the grasslands are similar, especially the African savannah.
As for the restaurant, Xu Wenjie made the kind of two-story wooden restaurant with some glass on it and some fruit trees planted around it. In the future, it should be better to keep some small animals like monkeys and squirrels around.
As for the houses inside the castle, in addition to some employees to live in, some are for tourists. However, the price here is much more expensive than those houses outside.
If possible, Xu Wenjie may want to develop the mountain behind him and build something to play on it. Moreover, the mountain is not bare, there are some trees on it, but it is not as dense as the forest.
The construction here, except for some places outside that still need to be dealt with simply, has been completed. If it is a reinforced concrete structure, I am afraid that it will not be possible to build it after such a long time.
And those who were still idle began to get busy at this time, they had to put all the furniture and daily necessities in each house.
All supporting facilities should be checked to avoid problems. If possible, Xu Wenjie would let these people stay in it for one night first to see how the situation was.
Xu Wenjie only realized at this time that it was not easy to do anything, if it was only him, he would have given up the idea of making grassland pastures now.
The evening meeting was discussed, and in the end, it was the problem of the tourists on the list, some of whom were too special. Xu Wenjie felt that these people were likely to be the people Jensen found and cheered him on.
When the time comes, these people who believe in the paparazzi will also be moved, and this place will once again become the focus of news media attention.
Of course, in order to ensure that these special tourists can have a comfortable time here, those news media Xu Wenjie will not let them in. This is private territory, and although there is a ranch, it is not a place where anyone who wants to come in can come in.
Moreover, Xu Wenjie felt that Simba's lion pack should have something to do tomorrow, and those who want to sneak in, it is best to pray that they will not be discovered by these lions.
ps: Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, I wish you all a good meal, drink well, and have a good time.
