Chapter Twenty-Four: We Meet
"Then how big is your ranch, it looks quite small in the photo," Wang Jingjing asked curiously.
Juan replied: "More than 55,000 acres."
Li Yuanshan said in surprise: "It's so big, more than 50,000 acres of land, if you put it before liberation, you would be a big landlord."
"I know that one acre is about a little more than six acres in China, and if you calculate it in China, it is more than 300,000 acres," Chen Jianguo explained.
Wu Ming's eyes immediately widened: "Hurry up and drag it out and shoot it, more than 300,000 acres of fertile land, and let us take care of the air ticket, where is the reason, where is his old man."
Ju An glanced at Chen Jianguo strangely, and even knew the conversion of acres and domestic acres.
Chen Jianguo smiled and explained: "Our family also bought a small estate in Australia, which is for vacation, so I know."
Ju An also smiled, his feelings for Chen Jianguo have improved a lot, not only does he look handsome, but also a little elegant, without the publicity of some nouveau riche children, he is a very introverted person, he has a good impression of Ju An, if it weren't for Qi Yan, maybe he could become a good friend.
"By the way, if you hire someone to take care of the ranch, the salary is high, if it is high, I will help you take care of the ranch," Li Yuanshan said with a smile.
Ju An replied: "I get up at half past five every day and rest at seven o'clock in the evening, about 1,000 dollars a month, you have to come and I welcome you."
"Damn, it's only so much, it's 7,000 yuan, doesn't it mean that Lao Mei's salary is high, it's not high to that point," Li Yuanshan muttered.
Ju An explained: "Of course, New York, San Francisco or something is high, just like in China, you can buy 18 yuan for a pound of shrimp in Jiangnan City, and you can buy it for four or five yuan in the countryside, and the same is true in the United States, where the cost of living in the countryside is low."
"Now I'm balanced, it turns out that you are in the countryside of the United States, this class is similar to me, I am in a big city in China, I am a city person, you are still a country man" Li Yuanshan nodded and made a statement of satisfaction.
Wang Fan said: "Well, this is far from the mountains satisfied."
Everyone laughed.
At this time, Ju An got up and said sorry, and then went to the bathroom, and Chen Jianguo also got up and said to go together.
After Ju An and Chen Jianguo went into the bathroom together, Chen Jianguo said to Ju An: "Qi Yan, tell me that she had a love affair in college."
"Oh!" Ju An is noncommittal.
"Actually, when I came, I thought, you, you should be five big and three thick, big guys, it's best to be perfect with a face full of meat," Chen Jianguo said with a smile.
Ju An replied: "Actually, I thought at first that you were a little white face with oily hair and pink face, and it would be better to be a little sissy."
"Haha," Chen Jianguo laughed.
"It's all in the past, so there's no need to mention it," Ju An said.
Chen Jianguo said: "Really, it's nice to meet you" and stretched out his hand as he spoke.
Ju An looked at the outstretched hand and said, "Are you sure I have a hand to shake hands with you now?"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry" Chen Jianguo smiled awkwardly: "I think Wang Fan seems to be not very friendly to me because of Qi Yan's relationship."
Ju An replied: "He is basically not very friendly to anyone, except for a few classmates, you don't have to take it to heart."
"I understand, the third generation of the red is always a little arrogant, and in the future, Qi Yan and I will be mainly responsible for the business in Jiangnan, but I don't want to be so stiff," Chen Jianguo explained.
"It's good if you let Qi Yan talk about it more," Ju An didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing.
Chen Jianguo said: "Actually, my father admires Qi Yan very much, she is indeed very capable, and in two and a half years, she became a branch manager."
Ju An said with a smile: "I knew it in college, she is a strong surname, and she has to do the best in everything."
When the two of them returned to their seats with a smile, Ju An found that everyone's eyes suddenly paused, and then immediately recovered as before, and continued to talk about the troubles in the university.
It was not until more than nine o'clock that everyone went home.
Wang Fan drove Ju An and Wu Ming back to the hotel room, took a bunch of Jiangnan beer, bought some duck neck, braised beef or something, and prepared to chat freely in the hotel.
Wang Fan opened three bottles of beer, and then handed them to Ju An and Wu Ming one by one: "I see that you have a good chat with that Chen Jianguo, this is an experience, and it is estimated that you can go up directly at school."
Glancing at Wang Fan, who had poured a sip of beer, Ju An said: "Just be his general friend, deal with it, there is such a deep hatred there."
Wang Fan said: "I still look down on Qi Yan, if she wants to break up, I don't have a problem with breaking up directly, it took more than half a year to break up, and I got married with the kid within three months after the breakup."
Wu Ming said: "The third child, it means to mention these people, if you don't see them, you can stay away from them, and maintain a face."
Wang Fan said: "Damn, he is a small businessman from the south, is it worth seeing my brother?"
"Okay, don't mention this, in October, Wei Dong will get married, you all go" Ju An changed the topic.
Wu Ming said: "Of course we are going, the fifth child is married, the eldest Ji Qing, and the second Su Mingrong are all going, how can we not go if we are so close."
Ju An said: "In addition, Wang Jianming, a slut, heard that he will also go to Canada at the end of the year."
Wu Ming said: "Well, he is ready to quit his job at the institute after a while, and I heard that the house is also ready to be sold.
Wang Fan said: "Jianming goes out, I admit that it is a brain drain, the sixth guy goes out, I am in favor of it with both hands, long live the sixty points of the course, go out to harm the US imperialists, there are more women and fewer men in the country, and he can be regarded as a contribution to the nation, it is not difficult to defeat the United States and directly airdrop 30,000 Lao Liu, and within ten years, the old United States will be allowed to become a developing country, and the Chinese population will be increased by at least ten percentage points."
Ju An replied dissatisfiedly: "Do you think it's easy to come to the door in more than sixty years?"
"By the way, are you going back to your hometown tomorrow?" Wang Fan then asked.
Ju An thought for a while and said: "Well, I'm going to go back to my hometown tomorrow afternoon, this trip is to pick up my family to live, it just so happens that this is not a summer vacation, take them to be lively, I am relatively lonely there."
Wu Ming sighed and said: "The sixth child has the ability to fulfill his filial piety, and the down payment for my house has not yet been settled."
Ju An thought for a while: "Fourth, if I don't make a down payment for you, anyway, I will put my money there, what do you think?" ”。
"Forget it, I have my own plans, if you can mention this, it won't be in vain for our brothers" Wu Ming shook his head after thinking about it.
"In the first two months, I asked him to help me take care of my business, but I didn't want to, how could I accept your money," Wang Fan looked at Ju An and said.
"I don't understand your business at all, it's just to mix a salary, I know that my work is idle, but I don't have anything to do all day to take money for nothing, I look down on myself" Wu Mingmeng took a sip of beer.
Ju An thought of a solution: "Now there are a lot of domestic tourists to the United States, and now California in the United States is doing a good job, what kind of ranch tours, horseback riding or something, or you are here to solicit guests, I will contact a few farms and ranches or something, do it?" There are much fewer people in Montana than Californians, and the natural environment is better, especially Lewistown, where I am staying now, the snowy mountain meadows, basically everything, you can also go hunting, hunting requires a permit, you can handle it on the spot, and you can also go to the shooting range to play, everything is a gimmick, and Yellowstone Forest Park, Glacier Park are tourist attractions, there should be many people who want to go."
When Wang Fan heard it, he thought this idea was good: "I think this can be done, now I have to travel abroad, or you will do this, what kind of license brother comes, I will pay for it, you are responsible for taking care of it, anyway, Anzi Ranch is so big, send more people over."
Ju An hurriedly waved his hand when he heard this: "The third child, you know that I don't like to make too much trouble, if the brothers go and have nothing to say, I am really not interested in a group of people I don't know, you and the fourth child, I will contact it, even if the fourth child borrows the funds, just return the money after earning it, and my ranch will not entertain tourists."
"Mao's money, I still have the money to run a travel company, then you go back and investigate, see the price, everyone is suitable, and get it up" Wang Fan patted Ju'an's knee and said.
Ju An nodded: "Okay, then I'll go back and talk about this matter."
Wu Ming saw that the two of them sincerely wanted to help, so he had to nod and agree.
Next, Ju An watched Wang Fan and Wu Ming discuss it again, and then they were roughly settled. Next, everyone talked about things in college, what women from the computer department who took foreign language classes together, which one was okay, which department had the ugliest female voice, and so on a series of boys' topics.
The next day, when he slept on the third pole, Ju An woke up, opened his eyes and saw that Wang Fancheng had a big character that occupied more than half of the bed, and Wu Ming had been squeezed to the ground, curled up in a corner.
I rubbed my eyes, got up and freshened up, then came over and kicked them one by one: "Get up, get up." The two guys rubbed their eyes and swayed to occupy them.
Wu Ming actually lifted his clothes disgustingly and grabbed two handfuls on his belly.
When they were washing, Ju An hung up the phone to Brother Li and told them that he was back, and when he answered the phone, he heard the neighing of horses, and guessed that they were playing in the horse farm.
After a little greeting, he politely declined their request for a treat at night, and by the way, let them have time to play on their own ranch when they went to the United States in the future.
With Wang Fan they had lunch, originally Wang Fan suggested that Ju'an rent a car, but considering the trouble of returning the car, now Ju'an does not have a driver's license, so he is ready to make a bus back, Wang Fan sent Ju'an to the station, and Ju'an followed the passenger on the journey back to his hometown.
