Qin Yi and the two took the middle-aged lawyer named Pete back to the ranch, the two sides drafted the contract, and then the lawyers of both sides confirmed that there was no problem, Qin Yi signed his name, wrote a check for $112.5 million and handed it to Michael, and the deal was officially concluded.

Qin Yi is very grateful for the great drought that swept through the western United States, otherwise, he would really not be able to get such a ranch at this price. Both parties were very happy, Michael even opened a bottle of champagne to celebrate, drank a glass of champagne, Michael and the lawyer did not stay any longer, and left the ranch separately. At this moment, the ranch has finally arrived, and the plan has taken the first step, and it is a big step closer to the beautiful days of horseback riding, cattle herding, fishing and picnics, Qin Yi is very happy.

However, Qin Yi knew that now was not the easy time, there were a lot of things to do when he just bought the ranch, first of all, he wanted to meet the ranch supervisor and appease the cowboys, and then see if the ranch was to buy a batch of cattle, and now the ranch is only a few thousand cows, which is a complete waste of such a large ranch.

Before Michael left, the contact information of the ranch staff had been left to Qin Yi. Calling the ranch supervisor Ryan, Qin Yi decided to meet him first and listen to the operation of the ranch before making plans.

According to the information, Ryan is an old cowboy who has lived in Montana all his life, has never been out much, and is not highly educated, but he has a lot of experience in ranch management, and he is usually very active in ranch work, and Ryan's family of four is a cowboy on the ranch, and he will not easily want to change jobs, so Qin Yi decided to calm down Ryan first, so that the ranch can operate normally, and the other cowboys will wait a few days before talking.

After a while, Ryan came over on a brown horse. Not far from the main house, Ryan dismounted, patted the horse's buttocks and let the horse graze by itself, and walked this way with a steady pace. Ryan is 1.9 meters tall, very burly, with broad shoulders, wearing an ordinary denim suit, in his 50s, the hair under the cowboy hat is a little gray, but he can be seen from his bright eyes!

Qin Yi invited him to come in and sit down, and went to pour coffee again, "Ryan, let's officially get acquainted, I'm Yi. Qin, you can call me Yi. ”

In fact, working in the ranch before, Ryan hadn't seen the boss Moore much, and the manager of the ranch was in charge, so this meeting, Ryan seemed a little restrained, not that the employees saw the boss's restraint, but Ryan didn't know Qin Yi's character and didn't know how to get along, so he behaved a little businesslike. After taking the coffee and thanking him, Ryan took a sip and went straight to the point, "Thank you, Yi, what are your arrangements next, or what should I do?" ”

Ryan still really wants to continue working on this ranch, the family is together, the job is stable, it's good, but I just don't know if the new boss will change.

Qin Yi smiled: "What do you usually do, how do you still do it." Ryan, I read your profile. ”

Qin Yi paused for a moment, saw Ryan listening carefully, and continued: "The information shows that you are doing a good job, which makes me very satisfied, your current monthly salary is 2,000 US dollars, so let's do it, I will give you 2,500 US dollars a month first, and the other cowboys will remain the same first." ”

Ryan was relieved when he heard this, and his smile was bright, "Thank you, Yi, you know, I like the work of the ranch very much, and I will do it well." ”

Qin Yi smiled and waved his hand, "Let's do it first, Ryan, after you go back, let the cowboy work in peace, the ranch will operate as usual, and the rest will be talked about in a few days." ”

Qin Yi suddenly thought that the ranch was already his own, so it was better to change the name: "Oh, Ryan, and remove the original name and logo of the ranch, I want to change the name of the ranch!" ”

Ryan was very interested in the name of the new ranch, "Okay, Yi, I'll tear it down when I go back, so, what's the new name of our ranch?" ”

After taking the name Qin Yi, he scratched his head, and after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't think of a good one, and finally it was simply called Sun River.

"Let's change it to the Sun River Ranch, and the sign will be the Sun River shining in the sun."

When Lane heard this, he thought it was quite good, the Sun River meanders through the pasture, it is the basis of the pasture's irrigation system, it is very appropriate to call it the Sun River Ranch, and there is no other pasture with this name. Ryan went back to work, and Qin Yi had nothing else to do, so he went to the garage to have a look.

Now that the ranch is done, you have to take off your driver's license, otherwise it will be very inconvenient.

There are two pickup trucks in the garage, a GMC RV, and a quad motorcycle, all of which were left by the previous ranch owner and sold as a package, all of which are now Qin Yi's property. The most conspicuous thing is the GMC, the main house has many rooms, and there are often large family gatherings, and this car seems to be just right for them. But now it's time to press the warehouse, and Qin Yi doesn't need it alone.

One pickup truck is a red Ford F150, and the other is a silver-gray Dodge Ram, the F150 has a light body and low fuel consumption, and the Dodge Ram has strong horsepower, both of which are suitable for ranch models. Of course, Qin Yi didn't know about these things, and he never paid attention to these because he had no money or cars in China, but he still looked at the information he searched for on the spot!

I also found the knowledge of driving in American vehicles, and I got familiar with it while driving on the small road.

A few days passed, Qin Yi concentrated on familiarizing himself with the traffic rules and driving skills in the United States, but he didn't know that many reporters and paparazzi outside the ranch were waiting, trying to get the photos of the rancher and get a big bonus while becoming famous! It's a pity that Qin Yi, who was focused on training, didn't go out at all, and they were all waiting for it to be destined to have no results.

In the past few days, the topic of more than 100 million US dollars in ranch transactions has been very hot, and on the day the ranch transaction was completed, the news spread, and the next day all the newspapers related to agriculture and economy in the United States reported in the headlines, and the uproar has not stopped for a few days, but neither party to the transaction has disclosed specific information, and the media only knows that the new rancher is Chinese, and even the transaction price is not clear. But it was certainly a $100 million deal, and it attracted the attention of some media newspapers, and the 124,000-acre ranch had a new owner, which was big news.

The media has a lot of discussions, and some think that they are rich people in China, and they are interested in the prospect of future ranch appreciation; Others say that the rancher was a representative of a powerful family in Huaxia, and that the transaction was for the purpose of wealth transfer; What's even more outrageous, some people speculate that this may be a move by the Huaxia government, which wants to occupy the mainland of the United States with wealth!

Ordinary people see the news and praise it a little bit: you are really rich, and then you continue to do things. What really concerns is those wealthy people or agricultural companies who were originally interested in ranching, and most of them laughed at investing in ranches in a big drought year, waiting to see Qin Yi's jokes. The Moore family also privately said that they were not optimistic about the pastures under the great drought, and they were glad to get rid of a big burden.

Qin Yi didn't care about it, what was expected, when he was busy with the odds and ends of the ranch he had just taken over, he used the spiritual spring to cultivate new grass seeds, and then he would envy them! As for the Moore family, hum, when the ranch improvement is successful, it will be announced to the public, saying that the pasture grass grows naturally, and I hope that I will not be so depressed that I vomit blood!

The second day of the conversation with Ryan began, and the cowboys resigned one after another.

When the first cowboy resigned, Ryan called Qin Yi, and there was still some self-blame in his words, thinking that he didn't appease the cowboy, but Qin Yi didn't say much, just let him do his daily work, and don't worry about the rest. Qin Yi first arrived, although he had personnel information, but the ranch had a new boss and didn't know the specific thoughts of the cowboys, and he didn't go to the workers' room to see the cowboys when he took over the ranch these days, just to let the unstable cowboys leave by himself for a few days.

Now there are still few cattle and sheep raised in the pasture, and the number of cowboys needed is not much, even if it is easy to recruit cowboys again!

There were three cowboys who resigned at the first time, and these three cowboys heard that the new boss was a Chinese the night before, and left without hesitation the next day! In the next few days, I walked a few one after another, probably because the young boss did not come forward to appease him, feeling that the boss did not know how to operate, and the ranch had no future.

Qin Yi was very calm when he heard the news, let's go, so as not to become an unstable factor in the ranch, and after the improvement of my brother's ranch is completed, there will be a time for you to cry!

There are more than 6,000 cows in the ranch, and there are 15 cowboys, and 7 of them have left in the past few days, and Ryan has told Qin Yi that if he wants to recruit more cowboys, the ranch is too busy!

This afternoon, Qin Yi thought about it and felt that it was almost the same, there was no cowboy resignation since yesterday, it seems that all those who stayed behind really wanted to continue working on the ranch, and it happened that he was going to Augusta to get a driver's license, so let Ryan send him to the motor vehicle management department, and then let him recruit cowboys by himself.

On the way, Ryan said to Qin Yi with a wry smile while driving: "Yi, the boys have been exhausted in the past two days, and 8 cowboys do the work of 15 cowboys!" ”

"The cowboys who stay are good lads, and I'll give them a bonus to thank them."

The ranch work was already quite tiring, and these cowboys left behind made Qin Yi very satisfied, and he wanted to appease him when he went back and give him a bonus.

Ryan was glad to hear this, it seems that the new owner is about to start running the ranch officially, "The boys will be overjoyed to hear this. ”

Remembering that he would have to recruit cowboys later, he just asked Qin Yi's opinion, "Yi, do you have any requirements for recruiting cowboys later?" How is the salary calculated? ”

Qin Yi smiled and waved his hand, "The salary is according to the current standard of ranch cowboys, recruit 7 or 8 ranches to work well, these are all handed over to you, I believe you can do a good job!" ”

Qin Yi plans to continue to let Ryan be the ranch supervisor and manage the cowboys on a regular basis, so that he will be at ease, and then find a manager and finance when the scale of cattle breeding expands in the future.

"Of course, Yi, I must choose some good cowboys to come back, I have lived here for so many years, and I still know the general behavior of the cowboys nearby."

The two chatted casually, and when they arrived at Augusta at the Motor Vehicle Authority, Ryan got out of the car and walked to the cowboy bar in the town, the town is not big, and the car has to be reserved for Qin Yi's exam.

At the beginning of the exam, there is a pre-test first, brakes, left turn signal, right turn signal, etc.; Then the examiner asked questions Qin Yi pointed everywhere: wipers, headlights, adjusting the rearview mirror, foot brake, etc. The real road test began, changing lanes left and right, parking on the side of the road, the most troublesome thing was to turn left at the green light, and finally finished the test after more than half an hour, no accident, the examiner gave a pass, and took Qin Yi to get a temporary driver's license, and the official driver's license will have to wait for a few days, and it will be delivered directly to the ranch after it is done, without Qin Yi running to get it again.

Qin Yi took his driver's license, he was in a good mood, although it was temporary, it was enough to use it in Great Falls City, and Qin Yi didn't plan to drive around in the near future, there were a lot of things going on in the ranch. After the road test and temporary driver's license, almost an hour passed, Qin Yi hurriedly drove to the cowboy bar, and Ryan might have found all the cowboys.

Qin Yi is the first time to come to a cowboy bar, and he has passed by Augusta before, and he has not visited it properly.

The bar is simple and rude, there are a few high stools in front of the bar, and then there are more than a dozen tables and a small stage, there are nuts such as peanuts and pine nuts on the table, cowboys sit at will, from time to time they take a sip of beer glasses, country music is playing in the bar, the sound should be deliberately lowered, cowboys or whisper casually chatting, or simply do not speak, watching a few old cowboys with beer glasses on the small stage twist at will, enjoy a rare leisure.

When Qin Yi came in, Ryan was also happily twisting the dance he choreographed, and when he saw Qin Yi come in, he raised his wine glass and continued to twist with a smile!

Qin Yi smiled and nodded, didn't care, and walked to the bar. The concept is different, if this is in the country, if the occasion is no problem, employees will definitely come over as soon as they see their bosses, but now it is better, it is easier to get along, as long as the work is done well.

As soon as he walked to the bar, the bar owner and waiter smiled and said, "Hello, sir, I'm Isaac, are you the owner of the newly renamed Sun River Ranch?" Oh, sorry, I watched Ryan greet you, what do you want to drink? ”

Saying that, he shrugged his shoulders and looked at Qin Yi curiously, which meant nothing else, just curiosity about the new rich rancher. In the past few days, BrokenO Ranch has changed its owner and changed its name to Sun River Ranch, and the new rancher is a Chinese, and the people in the town are very curious about this new rancher.
