Chapter 54: The Grand Canyon

Spending more than $3,000 per acre may seem like a lot of money, but considering that the value of commercial forests per acre is around $2,100-$2,200, it's a good investment.

Regardless of insurance, taxes, and workers' wages, the annual rate of return on funds of this forest farm can reach about 10 percent, but unfortunately the above three items must be considered for the operation of the forest farm, so the net income has dropped by less than half.

For Zhang Cheng, the words passed on to future generations of this forest farm are the best wealth. Yes, the annual income of more than 600,000 US dollars is enough to spend if you are not defeated, and how much money is not enough if you are lost.

On the same day, the real estate agent sorted out the contract, and after Zhang Cheng showed the lawyer that there was no problem, he signed it the next afternoon and paid a one-time transfer.

Zhang Cheng bought land for the first time, and he bought 3,520 acres of 5.5 square miles of forest land without looking at the photos and introductions. However, Zhang Cheng decided to go there after Christmas and the American New Year, and go there during the winter break to hunt and visit his forest farm, which is also the traditional hunting season.

If you're driving to a hunting holiday, a new luxury motorhome seems to come in handy. However, Zhang Cheng felt that it was not interesting for him to go on vacation alone, so it was a question of who to take with him, and he didn't know who had time at that time, it seemed that he could only take whoever had the time and interest to go.

I had two more days of classes this week, and on the weekend, Zhang Cheng met Jane, who was promoted by the student union.

At this time, Jane was carrying a big sign with the Grand Canyon weekend tour registration. Tess and Jasmine are in charge of handing out promotional images for the Grand Canyon.

If the trip to the Grand Canyon organized by the student union is not particularly interesting to American students, the school is not all American students, and there are still a considerable number of international students who have been famous for the Grand Canyon for a long time, such as Zhang Cheng.

Zhang Cheng went up and got a promotional material from Tess, the two-day, three-night bus tour of the Grand Canyon, if there is any biggest attraction for ordinary students, it can be said that it is the ultra-low price of 199 US dollars. You see, for less than 200 yuan, go to the Grand Canyon for two days to spend a relaxing and enjoyable weekend, and meet a few friends.

After looking at the scenery of the Grand Canyon on the leaflet, Zhang Cheng said to Tess, "Count me in." ”

Tess: "Meet at the school bus stop at 6pm on Friday. Bring the registration fee. ”

“OK。” On Friday, Zhang Cheng looked at the day, and it was not tomorrow.

On Friday, Zhang Cheng's class was in the afternoon, and after a while in the café after the class, he took his bag and went to the bus stop at half past five.

When Zhang Cheng arrived at the bus stop, it was already 5:50, and the bus stop was full of about 100 students who were going to travel to the Grand Canyon of Colorado. After paying the registration fee, Zhang Cheng boarded a bus, and at 6:05, Tess announced that the registration was over, and three buses carried more than 100 students.

Zhang Cheng was sitting next to an Asian student, but unfortunately it was a man, and Zhang Cheng was not interested. After the bus started, the Asian took the initiative to greet Zhang Cheng: "Hello. My name is McFuss Hill. ”

"Hello." Zhang Cheng felt that this name was so strange and his accent was not correct, and asked, "Japanese?" ”

McFushan: "Japanese student, are you a Chinese student?" ”

"Yes."

McFushan said, "I know you, and I saw you once when I was in school. You also scrapped the wrist of Jimmy, the main catcher of our baseball team, in the restaurant the other day, and the doctor said that Jimmy would have to take three months off before he could go to practice. ”

Zhang Cheng: "Oh, you're on the baseball team. ”

McFushan wanted to cry: "I was the captain of the baseball team, a four-baseman and pitcher on the field, and I led the school's baseball team to the quarterfinals of Koshien twice when I was in Nippon Prefectural High School. Don't you watch baseball games at school? ”

Zhang Cheng: "For that time, I would rather watch Spartacus blood and sand. ”

McFushan: I was wrong, I shouldn't have been talking to a violent maniac about sports.

This road is nearly 1,000 kilometers and it takes more than ten hours to drive, and everyone falls asleep after the sun sets in order to preserve the physical strength of the next day's travel.

Zhang Cheng also practiced the breath of the Blue Emperor Taiyi in the false sleep until dawn the next day.

After entering Arizona at dawn, the bus stopped at a gas station. Everyone went down to put water and eat breakfast. When Zhang Cheng got out of the car, he saw a sign at the gas station that said that it was 30 miles away from Tucson. Zhang Cheng, who was drinking milk, thought to himself, there is really a Tucson, I don't know where the Dao map is?

After an hour's rest here, the bus departs again and arrives at the Grand Canyon for two hours.

After getting off the bus at the scenic spot, McFushan said, "It's so desolate on this road." ”

Zhang Cheng: "This kind of diversity of nature is not something that you small countries and widows can understand. ”

McFushan: "If we had won World War II, the whole of East Asia would have been our Japanese land. ”

Zhang Cheng smiled: "I have never seen a more stupid strategy than Japan during World War II. There is a saying in China that the righteous are more helped, and the unrighteous are less helped. Got it? Go look at the Chinese dictionary. ”

McFushan had nothing to say for a while, during World War II, Japan invaded China first, and this big cake that could choke Japan had not yet been swallowed, and the Kwantung Army actually took it upon itself to fight the Soviets again, just as they did in 918 and Lugou Bridge.

Finally, the Soviet Union had to guard against Germany, and the war was over, and the troops attacking the Soviet Far East were basically disabled, and finally there was no big trouble for the time being, but the Soviets remembered this matter - when the Soviets solved the European problem, they immediately sent troops to kill hundreds of thousands of Kwantung Army.

After the defeat of Britain and France in the European War, Japan again started the idea of colonizing Britain and France in Asia. If the annexation of the Anglo-French Asian colonies was just a fight against the water dogs after Germany, then the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, which opened the Pacific campaign with the Americans, finally became the main reason for Japan's defeat in World War II.

The Allied description of the United States' direct involvement in the war was as follows: an elephant jumped on the scales.

Therefore, because of the small size of the country, this is also narrow-minded, and it is also short-sighted in terms of strategy, which is doomed to failure. There is an old Chinese saying, "Zhang Cheng continues to attack McFushan, and recently the sovereignty issue between the two sides on the islands has been on the verge of a misfire, and the people naturally will not talk about peace and friendship."

McFushan had nothing to say, so he had no choice but to sacrifice a big weapon: "Pay us back the ODA (aid loan)." ”

Zhang Cheng: "Okay, you can also return the part of the ODA earned from dumping investment in China and the appreciation of the yen over the years, as well as the interest on ODA. ”

Zhang Cheng thought to himself, this product still has the face to say ODA, Japan will not aid loans sooner or later, and provide a large amount of ODA to China before the yen is forced to appreciate by the United States, to put it bluntly, ODA is interest, it is to be repaid, not compensation for defeat, this aid ODA has been appreciating for many years, and who loses and who earns this matter is just a matter of knowing it anyway.

"I can't talk to people like you." After saying that, McFushan went to the front team by himself and stopped talking to Zhang Cheng, and Zhang Cheng was also happy to be quiet.
