Chapter 162: Reinvestment
Fortunately, Zhang Cheng, who has read the manual, knows that one means a unit, otherwise a single nanorobot is already so small that it is invisible to the naked eye - who knows if it will be given.
reached a transaction intention, that being said, the octopus man took the medicine but did not give Zhang Cheng the goods - the other party added Zhang Cheng to prepare to sell four goods this time, the problem is that nanorobots have the ability to replicate themselves, and if they give the goods first, they don't have to sell them.
Zhang Cheng had no choice but to continue to wait for the end of the negotiations, but fortunately, the purpose of coming here was to wait for the end of the negotiations.
Due to the insufficient price offered by the three companies, the commercial negotiations entered a state of pause, and the representatives of the three companies applied to their home countries for higher authorizations.
In the lounge, Stephanie, who had already learned a lot of inside stories, said to Zhang Cheng: "Do you know what aliens jumped out of the curtain this time?" β
Zhang Cheng: "I don't know what to do. Then I knew that they could not have come to be Bethune. β
Stephanie: "Because they've learned that in the next 15 to 30 years at the rate of the planet, nanorobotics will be developed. Now is the time when the sale of this technology is the most profitable, and don't you see that the three sales objects they have found are already countries with a complete industrial system. β
"When you say that, you probably understand a little bit." Zhang Cheng said: "China, the United States and Russia have obtained this technology, which is an early upgrade of the industrial system. And if other countries get this technology, it will be a perfect and leap forward in the industrial system. β
Stephanie smiled, "Now those three guys are drafting an agreement, a non-proliferation agreement on nanobots." β
"I don't plan to spread either."
Zhang Cheng wanted to come. These three companies are about to use nano-level people for the development of high-precision and cutting-edge techniques - if they are used in ordinary light and heavy industries, they will not be able to afford to be unemployed.
The discussion lasted intermittently for two days and one night, and everyone was happy after the end, and they got what they wanted, of course, Zhang Cheng also signed a tri-country agreement to ensure that nanorobots will not be transferred, gifted, or sold to any natural person, region, organization or country.
And it is guaranteed not to be used for any non-peaceful purposes - it may be difficult to build a nuclear bomb with nanobots (raw materials are hard to come by, at least not sold in supermarkets), but it is too simple to build missiles. The easiest way to do iron, carbon and sulfur nitrate, if the amount is large enough. This super two-kick range and power are alive, too. Ordinary workers can't do it too big, but for nanobots, it can be very big.
Zhang Cheng, who left the Nevada battleship, had an extra test tube bottle on his body, which contained a cloud of blue liquid the size of a fingernail cap - it was said that this was the WhatsMiner nanobot. Zhang Cheng did the sound recognition lock certification. It was discovered that it was indeed possible to control the movement of the blue liquid with voice.
But for now. One unit is still too few, and when you get home, you can take it for self-development first, and it will be better to use it after you get a certain number.
Because Zhang Cheng was in a hurry to go back. This voyage began to turn around here, and on the way, Zhang Cheng made an appointment with a Nevada real estate agent and Governor Brian.
After hurrying back to Nevada, Zhang Cheng first took his lawyer to meet with the real estate agent Milan. Milan took out a stack of materials: "This is all real estate for sale that meets your requirements, most of them are southern ranches." β
Zhang Cheng: "Let's start with the nearest. β
Milan: "Here, the ranch in Nevada." β
Zhang Cheng looked at the photo, Milan said: "Formerly known as Madison Ranch, it is only 2 hours and 20 minutes drive from Carson City, the ranch has a variety of terrain, ravines and undulating hills, very beautiful, and the iceberg snow water that flows down from the Sierra Nevada Mountains every year converges into a stream that passes through most of the pasture, and the stream flows into a deep pool between Berlin for eight months a year to ensure that the flow will not be interrupted, creating a tranquil environment." The ranch has two stone houses on the banks of the forest stream, which are retro on the outside and modern on the inside. The ranch is rich in wildlife resources, including deer, wild boar, bears, turkeys, wolves, ...... Great for hunting pest animals. β
Zhang Cheng looked at some of the information and asked: "The price of more than 5,000 acres of land is 66 million US dollars, is this price a little expensive?" β
Milan: "Ah, this price includes the price of more than two thousand Angus cattle and more than a thousand barrels of whiskey in the ranch's current pastures β a thousand barrels of whiskey, so to speak, for almost nothing. The original rancher and his wife are very old, and they want to spend the rest of their time traveling around the world, but before they can do so, they have to sell the ranch and the winery on it to pay off the bank loan. In my opinion, there is still some money to be made in a one-time purchase - some of the land here can actually be used for golf courses and mountain lake villas, you see there is a small waterfall here, and the villa area can be developed here for a lot of money. β
Andrew, Zhang's lawyer: "The development of villas and golf courses requires commercial land approvals from the state government. β
"That's not a hurry." Zhang Cheng calculated, how can an Angus beef cow that can produce marbling cost thousands of dollars, plus more than 2,000 cattle and calculate the land price, the land price is not so expensive. The point is that the natural irrigation conditions here are good, and there are eight or nine months of iceberg snow water that can be used every year -- you must know that an acre of automated irrigation facilities in Ludao can cost thousands of dollars, and thousands of acres cannot be built at all.
Now looking at the data, six oversized hay barns of more than 4,000 feet also know what they are used for - cattle can't go hungry during the dry and dry grass period in winter.
But the main thing is that it does meet its own requirements, the terrain is complex and the light is sufficient - so that the nanobots can self-replicate with peace of mind on it, and there should be all kinds of raw materials for the nanobots to complete self-replication under this complex geological structure.
However, the whiskey distillery above is of little use to itself, and it should not be very difficult to convert it into a winery, and it should not be very difficult to carve out a piece of land of more than 5,000 acres to grow grapes.
Closing the folder, Zhang Cheng said: "If that's the case, then let's go and have a look." If you buy it without a problem, everyone is there. β
The focus is on reinvestment, Zhang Cheng, who has a nine-figure bank deposit, does not want to buy back the private jets and yachts that are still depreciating in value every day after buying them back, who can't get along with the colorful Franklin. There is still a profit to be made in investing in ranching.
Andrew, Lawyer: "I'm fine, I'm charged by the hour. β
Milan: "It's my job. β
There are more than 60 million real estate transactions, and if the transaction is successful, Milan will get at least hundreds of thousands of dollars in commissions.
The three of them got on Zhang Cheng's Cadillac and drove in the direction of the ranch. Reno is a little closer to the ranch than Carson, and after a two-hour drive, the car is on the outskirts of the ranch. On the way, Milan called and the rancher was already waiting outside in a four-seater pickup truck.
The three of them got into the rancher's pickup truck - the Cadillac can't go off-road. The rancher was a strong white man who looked not too old, with gray hair and beard, and his actual age was not recognizable, but Milan said that he was not too young, but he was not bad.
Madison, the rancher, is not a talkative person when he looks at faces. But every time I pass by a fruit grove, a field, and a small stream. I can't help but say, "Look, I planted the apple trees there twenty-four years ago, and my eldest daughter Sally wanted to eat apples when she was a child, and I planted ninety-nine apple trees for her that year." I can't finish it. To this day, every year I have to mail a large box of apples to my children.
Look at that creek. In the summer, the river is cold. I fell into it once when I was a kid, and that was more than fifty years ago, how to say. It was so painful, but luckily the water wasn't deep, and I had cramps at the time. It's colder than a whole person falling into the refrigerator.
Look, the wheat, the corn. When the cattle are in winter, they will lose fat if they don't eat this, and in the natural environment, cattle will lose fat in the winter, but we are running pastures, and cattle losing fat is the money in our pockets. It's horrible, isn't it. β
Zhang Cheng interjected and asked, "I thought it was for whiskey." β
Madison, rancher: "It's mostly for the cattle to feed for the winter, and the whiskey distillery produces 200 casks of whiskey a year β oak barrels that can be drunk for six years. From my grandfather, my dad and I all liked to drink these two glasses of whisky when we weren't workingβand so did the workers in charge of the crops and the distillery and the herding. To be honest, we drink more than we sell, and we are a partner. β
Zhang Cheng thought to himself, understood, whiskey is considered a ranch welfare. It seems that the whiskey distillery cannot be abolished, but it should not be a problem to find a place to grow some grapes, and it is a big deal to send the grapes to his winery in Warshaw County for processing, which is still extremely wealthy.
Passing by a herd of hundreds of black cattle, Madison, the rancher, pointed to the largest of them, and said, "Look at that fellow, Pierre, the biggest bull here, about two thousand pounds." The strongest of the calves bred by Pierre are used as breeding bulls. β
Madison, the rancher, had just opened the window and said a few words, when a large cattle dog leaned over the window and barked a few times, and then stuck out his tongue at Madison.
Madison naturally touched the big dog's head for a while: "Mike, be good." β
A cowboy came up and called the big dog away: "Mike, come down." BOSS, bring someone to see. β
Madison: "yes. Maybe he'll become your new boss. β
Continuing to drive, Madison, the rancher, said to himself: "My children are young people who like modern life, and for them, New York, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas are life β in fact, I just taught them what my grandfather taught me, and I woke up and started working about every morning." The ranch was connected to the internet a decade ago, and wireless internet was only available six years ago β otherwise my grandchildren would be even more reluctant to come on vacation. β
Zhang Cheng waved his hand: "Everything depends on the money, how about the income here in the ranch?" β
Madison: "There are about 2,200 calves born here every year, and the slaughter rate is about 50 to 55 percent. The rest of the herds, in addition to the healthy cows with their youngs and the few breeding bulls, had to be sold, and the area that could be grazed here was about 3,800 acres, which could theoretically raise 10,000 head of cattle, but in this way they would have to buy a lot of hay and wheat and corn in the winter. The pressure on the pasture turf increases. At its peak, the pasture raised more than 4,000 cattle and less than 5,000 cattle.
The price of a young bull that has just arrived for slaughter is not high, on average, it costs a thousand or a few hundred dollars, and the specific situation depends on the quality of the meat, you know. Breeding bulls are slightly more expensive, but they cost two or three thousand dollars, and of course breeding bulls are also large. The most expensive is the cow with cubs, because it is buy one get one free, the price is high enough, and those who choose to expand the ranch will choose to buy cows with cubs.
