Li Chenghua was a little surprised when he heard it, and asked Thomas curiously: "Can't you just talk to the other party about it, in fact, I think this is a very trivial matter, and you don't want to break into his house, it's just a road, and it's not a big deal to step on it twice." ”

Before Thomas could answer, Mark explained to Li Chenghua with a smile: "This is the United States, which guarantees the sanctity of our private property, and the land of the pasture is my private property, and anyone, even the president of the United States, wants to pass through my land, I say no!" The president doesn't want to enter my territory, so he can only take a long detour for me! It's like Carter has to get my permission to walk through my ranch area. ”

Old George also shrugged his shoulders and replied to Li Chenghua: "That's why Carter asked me to ask the boss, if the boss doesn't agree, the only thing they can do is to spend an extra day or even risk spending the night in the wild to spend a day and a night to make a detour to the pasture on the other side." When Carter mentioned it to me before, I told him not to worry too much, and I told Carter that my boss is a good man, and that he and Thomas's Jewish neighbor are not the same kind of people, and as long as he personally asks my boss about the difficulties, my boss will definitely understand Carter. See, I'm right. ”

Mark, who was sent several good guy cards in a row, was even happier after hearing this, and said to his neighbor Carter with a triumphant expression: "Of course I am different from Thomas's Jewish neighbor, although I also bought a ranch for vacation, but you can just ask old George, I never interfere with how he runs my ranch, everything in the ranch is handed over to him to take care of, the only thing he needs to do is to raise the cattle and sheep and ensure that the meat quality of these cattle and sheep is good, and I don't even have to worry about sales!" I was able to skip the vampire-like middlemen and supply beef and mutton directly to some high-end restaurants, and one of the friends I invited this time was a family-owned hotel chain. ”

As soon as Mark finished speaking, not only Carter and Thomas's eyes lit up, but the other ranchers also had green eyes, hurriedly surrounded Mark, and asked:

"Really?"

"Mr. Quinn, what you said is true?"

"Mr. Quinn, do you really have a direct supply channel?"

"Mr. Quinn, can you also help your friend's hotel buy beef from my ranch?"

"Mr. Quinn—"

In the crowd, Mark was surrounded by a group.

"-Quiet!" Mark raised his hands in the air for everyone to be quiet.

"I also hope to be able to help everyone, but the quality of the beef and mutton required by my friend's hotel must be quality rated."

After speaking, Mark pointed to Li Chenghua beside him and continued: "However, my friend, Mr. Watson, is going to open a slaughtering company and a cooked food processing factory here, and your cattle and sheep can be directly sent to his slaughterhouse for slaughter. You can also sell him meat that is not rated enough, but he is from China, and China is a big market! In particular, my friend also runs a trading import and export company in Los Angeles. ”

Li Chenghua was very grateful for Mark's obvious help, and after making a buddy gesture with Mark as if they were bumping fists into each other, Li Chenghua took over the topic laid out by Mark and chatted with the group of ranchers.

With the help of his father Li Yigang, Li Chenghua soon learned about the market processing price of beef cattle and the market price of cattle and sheep offal sold to fertilizer companies. Several ranchers also said that before the onset of winter, there was a batch of beef cattle to be slaughtered in these ranches. Li Chenghua thought that as long as he directly bought an old building or old factory in the town, more than a month would be enough to transform it into a slaughterhouse. Soon, Li Chenghua reached a verbal agreement with these ranchers, and the beef cattle from these ranches will be directly sent to Li Chenghua's slaughterhouse for processing.

The total number of beef cattle in these ranches is only more than 2,000 heads, and the internal organs and bones of beef cattle slaughtered and processed are just purchased at one time and supplied to the cooked food processing factory. When the time comes, with Li Yigang's face, let Liu Shibo, who opened a supermarket chain, introduce it to his supermarket shelves, just to try the water of the American market.

The barbecue lunch in the field lasted for more than an hour and then ended, and Li Yigang and his son basically satisfied the purpose of coming here, and after eating and drinking, they helped old George pack up his tools, and the afternoon hunt continued.

In the afternoon, due to the separate activities of the ranchers, everyone's harvest was relatively good. Under the leadership of old George, everyone followed the footprints of the field to find a group of wild sheep, the old man Li Yigang didn't know if he really stepped on the shit luck, and actually hit a big ram for him, but Li Chenghua had nothing to gain in the process of hunting the sheep.

After more than three hours, the two horses were overloaded, and the rest of the prey had to be carried by themselves. Li Chenghua, who was a son, pinched his nose, carried the prey that the old man hit, and followed everyone back to the camping area by the lake with the old man's show-off.

After learning a few times from a few skilled cowboys, Li Chenghua finally set up a tent to sleep with his father at night. Put the moisture-proof mat and sleeping bag into the tent, and when I came out, I saw that the old man Li Yigang was already sitting next to his new friend Carter, showing off his prey with a few ranchers.

In the evening, barbecue is still the main thing, around the bonfire, the well-fed people gather in twos and threes to drink beer and smoke cigarettes and chat, and old George takes out a harmonica from his pocket and plays an old country music

The hunt continued the next day. There was a bit of a thrill in the middle, and George Sr.'s group encountered a pack of wolves. It was a pack of five or six wolves, and the head wolf seemed to be very smart, and when he saw the muzzles of the guns pointed at them in the crowd, and the attack of the hounds, the head wolf led the wolves to a stalemate with the crowd for a long time, and then retreated.

In this way, the two-day and one-night hunting activity ended lively. When the old man Li Yi first got out of the forest and got on the pickup, he still couldn't get enough of telling Mark that he would come to participate next year. Mark laughed and said that his ranch was always open to the Li family.

Back at the ranch, Li Yigang and his son were surrounded by children, the old man seemed to be in good spirits, and he could boast to the children with great interest about the thrilling process of his confrontation with the wolves, while Li Chenghua collapsed on the sofa as soon as he entered the house, waiting for Julie's dinner to be served.

In the next two days, Li Yigang and his son learned to ride horses with the cowboys of the ranch in the morning, and in the afternoon, they drove the ranch's pickup truck to visit the new rancher friends.

With the help of Carter and Thomas, Li Yigang and his son find out that there is a slaughterhouse in town ready to sell. Through the gossip of a group of cowboys in a bar in the small town of Guò, the former owner of the slaughterhouse lost all his cash and owed a lot of debts in Las Vegas, so he had to sell the factory to pay off the debt.

When Li Chenghua got the news, he hurriedly called his lawyer Lanson and asked him to come by plane, and the anxious Li Chenghua said that he would reimburse all the money for the round-trip air ticket.

With the help of the shrewd Lansen, it only took 1.52 million American knives to win this factory covering an area of more than 60 acres, as well as a full set of three assembly line machines for slaughtering and processing. Thinking of renovating another delicatessen processing factory, Li Yigang consulted old George, and with the help of old George, recruited a construction team from the town to negotiate the price and completion time.

The ten-day holiday was coming to an end soon, and on the evening of the last day of the holiday, Li Yigang and his son finally remembered that there were still deer head specimens and backpacks made of deer skin at the craftsman Old John's place when they were packing their luggage.

Before leaving the next morning, Mark said hello to his friends, and when the convoy passed through the town, Li Chenghua drove into the town in his own car. After receiving the lifelike deer head specimens and delicately crafted leather supplies from Old John's handicraft shop, Li Chenghua drove out of the town to join the convoy with satisfaction, and the family happily drove home.
