Chapter 6: Cowboys
There are five cowboys in the grizzly bear ranch, and the elder Peake is the leader of them, about 2,000 Canadian dollars a month, which is relatively high in the local salary, and the other four, one named Noah, is an indigenous Indian cowboy, about 30 years old, with a salary of 1,500 Canadian dollars.
The other three, each for a thousand dollars, are in their early twenties, young white cowboys, Deku, Byron, and George.
The average salary in Canada is about 80% of that in Australia, and the salary in the countryside is even lower, but the consumption is not big! So 1,000 or 2,000 Canadian dollars, you can live a very nourishing life here, not to mention other additional income.
For example, prize money, game rewards, tourist tips, etc., the Grizzly Bear Ranch used to focus on tourism, but for some reason, it was ordered to close.
The Grizzly Bear Ranch was owned by Li Cheng, and it was time for Old Peake to tell him the truth, and at the party celebrating Li Cheng's ascension to ranch in the evening, everyone was very happy, because working under Toth was indeed not an easy task, and the boy was picky, stingy, and irritable, and the cowboys of Grizzly Bear Ranch complained a lot about him.
At the moment of raising a glass of celebration, three young cowboys of the same age toasted Li Cheng, Deku was a relatively sturdy Italian immigrant, and it was only a few months before he entered the grizzly pasture, and Toth recruited him at the cowboy bar in the town, and he was better at moving horses.
"Head, we'll follow you in the future, but you have to cover me!" If it weren't for the English language, Li Cheng would have thought that he had been mixed up with some underground organization.
The cowboys are all bold and happy, and a large glass of beer is exhausted, which really makes Li Cheng's small body a little unbearable, but Li Cheng, who has drunk a few large glasses, feels that he is still at ease, and said secretly: "Why has the amount of alcohol increased?" β
"What are you talking about, just help each other, Grizzly Bear Ranch, it depends on you to develop, I promise, your salary will increase by 20% in the future!" Rewards are extra! β
"Long live the boss!"
Everyone cheered, Li Cheng didn't want to be stingy, like Toth, he had a stinky face all the time, as if someone owed him a million plus a knife.
Li Cheng, who mingled with the employees, sat alone on the sofa in the living room to rest for a while, and the old Peake came over, sat down by himself, was silent for a while, and said: "Cheng, it is not wise for you to choose Grizzly Bear Ranch. β

"Do you know that Weishenme's ranch is called Grizzly Bear Ranch?" The elder Peake did not answer directly, but moved on to another topic, which seemed to be slightly remarkable.
Grizzly bear? Could it be that there is a flood of grizzly bears here?
Li Cheng thought for a while and said, "Is there a grizzly bear around this ranch?" β
"Yes, it's next to Kananaskis Provincial National Park, it's a virgin land that hasn't been spoiled in any way, and the ecology is excellent, so there's a lot of wildlife around the ranch, and grizzly bears are the most frequent, do you know that Weishenme is sparsely populated here? Grizzly bears have invaded the area around the ranch, resulting in the death of some cowboys' family members. β
"Grizzly bears eat people? Unlikely. Li Cheng couldn't believe it, bears would eat people? In his memory, bears are all cute and cute, such as pandas! In fact, if the grizzly bear's food chain is disrupted in the case of human ecological destruction, then it will affect humans.
"The raging grizzly bear is the most terrible! A grizzly bear with a huge body, even an experienced cowboy like me has to walk around, and if ordinary people encounter it, it will be death! β
"And is there a lot of grizzly bears around the ranch?"
"According to my estimates, there are at least a few dozen or so! Of course, there are only a few that often haunt the pasture, but it is enough for us to feel uncomfortable, the grizzly bear will alarm the horses, the herd, the sheep, you think that Toth will be so kind to transfer it to you at a low price, it is not that the horses purchased last time were frightened a lot, and the cattle were scattered, and the losses were heavy! Old Peake was still terrified of the last time he ran into a grizzly bear during grazing.
"And what if Weishenme doesn't shoot them?" Canada's regulations on firearms are stricter than in the United States, but most people can apply for a gun license, and the elder Peake should also have a gun license.
"Of course you can shoot them, but if you can't kill them with one shot, the grizzly bear will be completely enraged, and we won't shoot unless we have to, and smart grizzly bears are very cunning, and generally speaking, they won't let us spot them easily, and it's hard to find opportunities." Although the elder Peake is familiar with the surrounding terrain, in the dense forest, the grizzly bear is invincible, and there is only one way to go.
Li Cheng thought for a while and said: "Old Peake, the grizzly bears around the ranch will affect the development of our ranch, no matter what, we have to clean them up, these days you take Noah and a few people to explore the surrounding area, find the nest of the grizzly bears around the ranch, we will serve them in one pot!" Before I do it again, I'm going to apply for a gun license and buy some munitions! β
"Well, there is a weapon shop in Kananaskis Town, where the owner of Bata is my friend, just report my name before you go, and he will take care of it for you."
After chatting with Old Peake for a while, Li Cheng learned about the current situation that needs to be solved urgently in the grizzly bear ranch, that is, the grizzly bears that often haunt the ranch! The reason for the difficulty is that these grizzly bears are all acting alone, and there are several of them, and it is impossible to figure out their specific whereabouts.
Every time you graze, you will be frightened by the cattle, sheep and horses, which will lead to a fryer, and the loss of cattle and sheep is small, mainly because it will hurt people's lives, and a large income of the grizzly bear ranch comes from tourism, which is because of the grizzly bear infestation by the tourism bureau to rectify and cancel the number of tourist attractions.
According to the old Peake's explanation, the horses, cows, and sheep that Toth gave away for free were all defective products, and the horses were all untrained wild horses, and the pedigree was also very mottled, and they could not reach the level of professional level horses, and no matter how they tamed the horses, it would be useless.
Those 100 horses should not be considered pasture horses, but wild horses! And the wool production rate of sheep and the milk quality of cows are not ideal, Li Chengke doesn't care about these, no matter how good the free gifts are, it is unlikely that they will be able to do so, at least these family backgrounds are okay.
After getting acquainted with the cowboys of the grizzly bear ranch, Li Cheng returned to his wooden villa, a two-story villa with all wooden furniture, a kitchen, a hall, a toilet and the like below, and four rooms above, namely the master bedroom, guest room, study, and reception room.
This villa, if in China, at least a few million, other cowboys live in another villa, the decoration is much worse than this, Li Cheng has long brought a Chinese system laptop in China, and the grizzly bear ranch is also equipped with a network, so while it is not too late, after turning on the computer, a coquettish avatar lights up.
"Yo, turtle, you're finally willing to go online, where did you get rich, my brother is very lonely now......" This is high school, Li Cheng's sworn friend Wang Daming, it is said that after graduating from high school, he has been mixed in society, and he has not been in touch, and he doesn't know how he is doing.
"If you're lonely, look for pheasants, scare me or something, I'm busy! Cattle herding ...... in Canada"
"Herding cattle? Do you work on a ranch? β
"You see that I am so wise and powerful, I may be exploited by the capitalists? I am a national hero, contributing to the motherland! β
"You bought a ranch?"
"Yes, I won a jackpot in Canada, spent more than 12 million dollars, just bought a ranch, but was pitted by an old Jew, and there are a large number of grizzly bears here."
Although Li Cheng didn't know what the development potential of the extremely aggressive grizzly bear infested ranch was, seeing Old Peake's worried look, it seemed that it was a little difficult to recover the cost! At this point, there is only one step at a time!
"Okay, your kid is in the limelight now, don't you take your buddies to Canada to do some trouble! I don't mix well in China, I'm about to beg for food. β
"you! Didn't you open a digital store? They all sell high-tech products, I am a small country here, and I can't afford your Buddha! "The ranch is not stable here, Li Cheng doesn't expect Wang Daming to come over, and he is not familiar with life here, if something goes wrong with him, it is not easy to explain it to his family, after all, he has been a buddy for so many years, and there are some things that are difficult to say.
"Actually, I want to go to your place to fight grizzly bears and smuggle them into China, and you know how high the price of bear paws is......"
"Don't even think about it, you don't know how powerful the domestic customs are, if there is no way, don't take such a dangerous road." After Li Cheng and Wang Daming talked for a while, he didn't pay attention to it anymore, he hadn't been in touch for so many years, and many things were uncertain, Wang Daming wanted to mess with him, in fact, it was just a joke, not to mention the communication problem, with his ability, there was no room for play in the ranch at all.
Called and asked his father to video chat with him online about the purchase of a grizzly bear ranch.
"Dad, I've already bought a ranch in Canada, when are you coming over?"
"Ah Cheng, we don't know English, we are not used to living in Canada, and we used the money you gave us to build a villa and contract a piece of land in our hometown, and we plan to retire in our hometown, so come back and see us when you are free."
At first, my parents also wanted to go outside to see the world, but due to language and living habits, the two elders discussed, but they still didn't go, and after Li Cheng stabilized, they went to travel.
"Okay, when I'm done here, I'll go back and see you, and then come to my side for a few days."

After video chatting with his parents for an hour, Li Cheng read a book in the study for a while, then went to sleep, and went to the town the next day to apply for a gun license and buy firearms, and I don't know how much old Peake knows about grizzly bears.
