Chapter 365: Ju'an's Generous Gesture (4)
The next morning, I took Nien and the accountant to Stockton, Missouri, and met with Guillen and his party at the airport, and everyone divided into two cars and walked towards the ranch, along the way Juan found that the road here is pasture and farm on both sides, and it is basically square, very dense, unlike Montana seems empty, both sides of the road are fences, and the fences are either crops or horses and cattle are grazing, etc., which are much denser than what Juan saw in Montana, and there are no mountains as far as the eye can see. As far as the eye can see, there are lush green trees, and the pastures in the pastures are long and pleasing to the tender green, and the pastures in Montana look darker. ,!
Looking at the surrounding scenery, Juan turned to Nien and said, "Now I believe that more than 30,000 acres of pasture is worth more than 40 million dollars, just look at the grass around you."
Nien looked out the window and nodded: "The grass here grows well, and the forest coverage is also very high, and the plain area has a completely different style from Montana."
Ju An looked behind at the two accountants, both of whom were in the car with their eyes closed and said to Nien, "What time were they busy yesterday?"
"It's past three o'clock in the night," said Nien with a smile, "something to add up, and the ranch assets to be cleared."
Ju An sighed when he heard it: "It's really too hard." Charlie, the accountant, had already opened his eyes at this time, and said with a smile after listening to Ju An's words: "It is certain to do overtime in our industry, and the busier we are like Nien, the better." What a 9-to-5 is out of reach for us."
Charlie's law firm is more than just a Juan Ranch business. There is also a private tax return for ranch cowboys or something, in short, it is very busy, Charlie smiled and said to Ju An: "Looking at the income of your ranch cowboys, I don't want to be an accountant and become a cowboy."
Ju An said with a smile: "I told these people last year to be low-key, but now you see that seven or eight of them have started to dig pools, and more than half of them have changed to new cars, which has nothing to do with being low-key." Charlie said that he wanted to be a cowboy, but that was just lip service, and this guy's income is estimated to be at least two or three times that of cowboys.
Nien smiled and said, "Make so much money, and don't go out to make trouble, so that I can collect more money." The cowboys are a little too honest, and in the more than a year they have been in Montana, except for a few divorce cases in the town, few have committed major crimes, which is too different from New York."
Juan was a little speechless when he heard Nion's words. This is also because of the fact that he dislikes customers who are too honest because he makes money: "You are a person, I really don't know what to say about you."
The two accountants in the back laughed when they heard Nien's words, and Nien said seriously: "They made trouble, and when I entered the police station, I went to guarantee that I would also have to charge, and then fight a few lawsuits not only to charge up, but also to have a reputation, so that charging is the way of the firm to make money, I miss the rich people in New York a little, I have nothing to do to party, and take some medicine." Then as soon as we are arrested by the police, then our business will come, and it is better to have a personality harassment or something, and the money will flow into the pockets of our lawyers."
The rest, including the taxi driver, laughed when they heard Nion's words.
Walked for more than 30 minutes to enter the gate of the ranch, the gate is good, the iron frame railing is written on what flower ranch, the car is a little fast, Ju'an did not see clearly, into the ranch path, looking at the pasture scenery in front of the car. Ju An kept nodding.
When I arrived at the door of the ranch house, I saw a two-story villa with wood grain erected at the end of the road, and I couldn't tell what the style was, it was an ordinary ranch style, but it looked more luxurious.
Ju An followed Jilen and the others into the house. Looking around, the building is an office. There are two sculptures at the door, and the crooked Ju'an doesn't know whether it's good or not, but it's full of taste.
"The first floor of the house is an office, and the second floor is the original rancher's residence, and the whole family will come for a month or two of vacation a year," says Guillen. After speaking, he took Ju An to a room, which was a large conference table, and Ji Lun motioned for Ju An and a few people to sit down, and then said a word to a cowboy on the ranch.
After a while, the cowboy came back with a roll of paper, spread it out on the conference table, Juan stretched out his head to see, it was the floor plan of the ranch, on which the green was a patch of woods, the whole ranch opened like a convex shape, the tip was facing Stockton, several sides were straight, the road was also crossed, very neat, and the picture looked very beautiful.
Gillen pointed to the drawings and said to Ju'an: "This ranch is so large, there is a large forest in the middle, and the forest area coverage of the entire ranch has reached 20%, mainly concentrated in this piece and both sides." After speaking, he pointed his finger at the dark green area on the map.
Then he pointed to the two small blue dots in the middle and continued to introduce Ju An and said: "Next to it are two small lakes, and then three waterways are divided, and most of the pasture and grassland are irrigated, even in some places where it cannot be irrigated, the cowboys will draw a little water by themselves."
Ju'an is still interested in the small lake, looking at the two points on the map, the big one is dumbbell-shaped, that is, the belly is slightly bulging, the small one not far away is a triangle, the two small lakes pull out three water lines, expanding towards the pasture, nodding, Ju An is still very satisfied with this small lake.
Then Gillen followed up and said, "There are twenty-three cowboys on the ranch now, and most of them are willing to stay, this is the personnel situation." Ju An nodded, turned his head to Gillen and said, "Then let's go around and have a look."
Gillen listened and nodded: "Do you want to go upstairs and have a look first?"
Ju An thought for a moment and said, "It's okay." Although Ju'an doesn't live here often, it is estimated that he will come two or three times a year, so he can't let go, and it's not bad to look at the bedroom in the future.
Gillen took Ju An and the two of them upstairs together, and the rest of the people were chatting in the conference room, Ju An went upstairs to know that there was a half-rise in this building, even if it was a half-rise, it was two meters and five high, this was the former rancher's bedroom, there was a large balcony behind the house, the roof of the bedroom was sloping, and the wooden roof was exposed in front of him without the slightest decoration, which looked good, and opened the balcony door, only to find that the whole building was a mountain line, stretching out three pieces towards the back of the house, and the rancher's balcony was in the middle, Not far behind the house are the cowboys' quarters, and not far from the two or three rows of gray buildings should be stables, barns, warehouses and other things.
Then I looked at the bathroom and the like, there shouldn't be many children in the rancher's family, and there are only three inclined bedrooms on the top floor, which is not a small area.
The second floor is a few bedrooms, the area is much smaller than the top floor, about forty square meters or connected to the bedroom, look at it carefully, Ju An said to Gillen: "The house is good, a little better than the house of my first ranch."
Gillen said with a smile: "If you like it, many books in the study are left, including a lot of furnishings will not be moved, if you don't like it, you can donate it, and keep it if you like."
Ju An nodded, followed Ji Lun and the two downstairs, and a cowboy from the ranch drove the car to take Ju An and Ji Lun around the ranch to look around.
The green meadow, passing by the trees from time to time and listening to the crisp chirping of unnamed birds, Ju'an felt that this was not a pasture, a bit like an ecological park, and walked to a forest next to Ju'an also saw two marmots looking at him with their heads sticking out. The fat little thing has a silly face, not to mention the little squirrel jumping on the tree.
Passing through the woods, a stream unfolded in front of Ju'an's eyes, and on both sides of the stream were colorful wildflowers that meandered along the bank, with long stems and leaves supporting a few petals, and butterflies staying and flying on it from time to time. The water is not deep to people's knees at most, and there are no small fish to be found at the bottom, but you can see the mud at the bottom of the water, and the stream is very calm, and there is basically no sign of flowing.
"The rancher in front of me has dug three creeks to divert water from the lake to most of the pastures, so there is no automatic irrigation here, if you like automatic irrigation, there is also a ranch to check out, fully automatic with the push of a button to irrigate the whole ranch," Gillen explained to Juan.
Ju An hurriedly waved his hand: "This is very good, even if it is my ranch yesterday, I am going to dig a small lake out, I don't like the water from the water company to water my ranch, I prefer pure ecology."
Following the two of them led by the cowboy for a while, Ju An walked into the forest, saw that the grass between the trees and the bushes was particularly refreshing and clean, pointed to the woods and asked, "Are all the woods like this?"
Gillen gestured to the cowboy, who nodded to Juan and said, "It's all like this, every year we clean up the bushes in the woods, sometimes the cowboys will pull out the bushes when they see them when they are grazing, and we will clean up the leaves a little bit in the fall."
Ju An nodded, this is all ranchers, why is the gap so big, what I saw yesterday is that I don't care about anything, the ranch I saw today is like a park, everything is cleaned, I am still satisfied with the woods, I am not afraid of scratching my clothes when I get in, and the trees are not like Montana where there are all pine or maple trees, there are at least four or five kinds of deciduous trees here, and it must look quite beautiful in autumn.
Looking at the woods, Ju An said to Gillen, "Let's go see the two lakes, it's almost there." In fact, at this time, Ju An had already decided to buy this ranch in his heart, although the place was slightly smaller, but this scenery was so good, buying it was equivalent to buying a park, and Ju An also knew that there were not many ranches in Missouri that were tens of thousands of dollars for himself to choose.
Looking at the next two lakes, Ju An stretched out his hand and paddled twice in the lake, the lake here is full of aquatic plants, but you can't see the bottom, the bottom of the lake is dark green, and the cool lake water makes Ju An feel refreshed: "Okay, let's discuss the price below, the price is okay, let's do it" Ju An stood up and said with a smile to Ji Lun.
