Chapter 19: My Farm, My Wealth

After finishing their mission in San Francisco, several people also took a short rest. Then I was ready to set off for Zuihou on this trip, which is also the place that Jessie Chou is looking forward to the most. That's The Farm, one of the largest private farms in California. Located at the foot of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, it is also connected to Yosemite National Park, which is a two-hour drive from the farm.

Several people boarded a plane at San Francisco International Airport in California and flew non-stop to Mariposa County. Madrid Posa County Government, it is a very small city, Zhou Jesse looked at the information only to find that a county only has 17130 people, and the capital is Madrid Bossa, the size is very large, a total of 3758.38 square kilometers, per capita area reached 4.56 people per square kilometer.

But among the fifty-eight counties in California, it is not the most exaggerated. 1 person 10 square kilometers per capita area of the county has. But just comparing the Celestial Empire, Jessie Chou can only say that he is not calm, yes, he is not calm.

When I read the information at that time, Jessie Chou was still curious about how much money such a large farm gets! The estimated value of 250 million yuan of the farm can also include the cattle, sheep and horses and the main house inside, as well as warehouse machinery and equipment. Among them, some things are deliberately made old, the price is low, and the tax payment is reduced. You can see how cheap the price of land here is.

Jessie Chou's farm covers an area equivalent to one-third of Madrid's Bosa County. However, the farm spans two counties, some of which are still in Moced County. That's another county, and the county seat is Mercid! It's much more prosperous than Madrid Posa, with a population of 210,000 alone.

Madrid Posa is one of the entrances to Yosemite National Park, and although it is not very populous, it is definitely a small city with a beautiful environment and full of nature. Jesse Chou came out of Madras Yosemite Airport and took a deep breath to experience the city full of nature. And after observation, I found that this is the kind of sparrow that is small, but it is a complete state to describe the city.

This time, the farm had already sent someone to pick up the plane, and the person who came was a white man in his forties who was a little fat. But although he is fat, Jessie Chou doesn't think it's strange. Because Americans are about the same age like this, don't watch so many handsome old guys in Hollywood movies, in fact, obesity in American society has always been a problem.

The man looks very energetic, with a typical American face, a mustache under his nose, a cowboy hat, a checkered shirt on his body, with jeans, and a pair of boots under his feet.

The white man's name is Atwood, which translates to the man in the forest, and his family has lived here for three generations, and he is a typical land snake. Atwood came over to say hello to Jesse Chou, after all, he will be his boss in the future, take the initiative to leave a good impression on the boss, after all, he doesn't know what kind of person Jesse Chou is. Although there is no colloquial saying in the United States that you don't reach out and don't hit a smiling person, there are still interesting and similar slang.

Jesse Chou has already seen this person's information from Harvey, when Old Man Bud was unintentional about taking care of the farm, he still managed to make a good profit every year, and he was a very capable person, and Harvey also suggested that Jesse Chou could continue to hire him.

Jessie Chou is also very fond of people who work for themselves and are capable. He greeted Atwood with a smile on his face, and the atmosphere was very calm. After greeting each other, the group got into a pickup truck from Atwood. It's a Ford product, and this type of car is very popular on farms.

The farm is about 20 minutes away from the airport, and it is only 30 minutes to the nearest one, and it is also forty or fifty minutes to the Meixide from farther, so it is very convenient to come and go. Cars are popular in American society, and this is not a big city, so there will be no traffic jams at will. You have to speed up a few degrees and even faster, so everyone thinks that this kind of journey is actually not far!

Jesse was in the front seat last week, chatting with Atwood, about the farm, about life or something, and during the process, he also told him that he hoped he could continue to stay and work for him, and the salary would remain the same.

Atwood readily agreed, after all, he still liked the job. And the salary given by Old Bard is really good, much happier than some surrounding farmers. The main thing is that there will never be wage arrears, after all, the aftermath of the US economic crisis is still there.

The farmers also affected the group of vampires on Wall Street, and if they didn't have a strong backing, even if the farmers here were worth millions of dollars, they would still be living a very poor life.

The car was about to drive to the gate of the farm, and at this time there were more trees on both sides of the road, and Jessie Chou looked at the trees on the road with interest, which were American redwood trees, all of which were very tall and standing on both sides, and some of the trees were also nailed with wooden signs, which said that private territory should not be approached.

Atwood may have seen Jessie Chou looking at the wooden sign, so he explained to Jessie Chou that this was already within the range of the ranch, but the gate was set in front. After a while, I arrived at the gate of the ranch, only to see a pair of giant stone pillars standing there, in the middle is a large iron gate, and there are some art statues in front of the stone pillars, which looks very atmospheric.

On the top of the pillar is a very large stone plaque that reads Sky Farm, which is the name of this farm. Next to the door is a row of fences, very wide, almost as far as Jessie Chou's eyes can see, they are very haode fenced the ranch, delineating the scope of Jessie Chou's private territory.

Atwood explained that these fences are made up of three parts, one is this kind of wooden fence, and the other is an iron fence, which is the kind of barrier wall made of a few wires of a piece of wood, as in the war in the movie and TV series, and this part is on the perimeter.

The other part is a thorny shrub fence composed of plant fences, which are made up of subtropical evergreen sclerophyll forests. It is typical vegetation in the Mediterranean climate. It is an evergreen tree or shrub community. The leaves are evergreen and hard, with well-developed mechanical tissue, often hairy or degenerate into thorns, adapted to the hot and dry climate of summer.

The surface of the leaves is dull and often hairy, and there are often glands that secrete aromatic oils to reduce water evaporation. The sclerophyllous vegetation is usually not very tall, and in addition to the forest of trees, there are many low bushes, and the structure of the jungle is very simple, and it is difficult to see lianas and epiphytes. It is mainly found on the Mediterranean coast, California in North America, and in the east and southwest of Oceania.

This was planted by the old man of Bard a long time ago, and now it is growing very well, almost replacing the wire fence, as long as the investment is increased, the pasture can be very haode encircled, and the remaining wooden fence is in these fences, mainly in the main house to enclose it, and become a private private territory.

When the old man bought the farm, he actually wanted to buy the inside of the wooden fence and the vineyard in Moced County for vacation and private investment. But the farmer doesn't want to, you just want to buy the haode lot, how can there be such a haode thing, so you have to pack it up and buy it together, or don't sell it. The old man calculated that it was not much expensive, so he bought it together.

However, after buying it, the old man felt that the land was also a good investment, so he tried to ask the county government if he could buy some more. The government of Madrid, which did not have much money, agreed, and the old man bought all the surrounding land and expanded the land to both sides of the Mercid River.

The Merced River is a river in the U.S. state of California that has its source in the southern part of Yosemite National Park, after which it flows into the Yosemite Canyon. It was later blocked by the New Exchechael Dam to form Lake McClure. At the Crock-Huffman Dividing Dam, its water is diverted into the Merced River irrigation area. The remaining water flows southwest through the mountains and the San Joaquin Valley into the San Joaquin River.

The old man's enclosure movement caused him to circle a large lake wave, and in the upper part of Lake McClure, the land of the old man's farm was surrounded on all sides, and it became a private lake, and it almost became the inner lake of the farm, and down the Merced River, the farm was cut into two parts.

This is to Lake McClure, where the farm occupies one side of the lake, splitting the lake in half, and the people on the opposite shore have only half of the right to use it. This measure also allows the ranch to have a large number of water rights, which also plays an important role in reducing the cost of the farm!

Of course, if it weren't for the fact that the Merced River is protected by the U.S. National Wildlife and Landscape Act, which stipulates that it should be free and smooth as far as Lake McClure, the old man would have absolutely cut it off and bought all of the lake, leaving only a little bit of Xiangxia to flow to someone else's irrigation area.

Walking along the Merced River is the main way to access Yosemite National Park. There are plenty of recreational opportunities on the banks of the Merced River, including fishing, kayaking, white wave rafting, camping, hiking, swimming and picnics, while the lake can also be used for jet skiing, water parks, and more.

Jessie Chou was thrilled to hear what was going on in front of her in the car, and she just wanted to get there quickly. Zhao Jie in the car had already calmed down the gate in front of him, and he used to always look at luxury buildings or something, so he was envious and jealous that there was nothing to shock, but this in front of her made her feel shocked.

Zhao Jie couldn't hold back his words, and wanted to vomit quickly, so he chatted with Harvey who was sitting next to him. weishenme is Harvey, classmates, think about it, there are two people, an old and a handsome, so who will you choose? What's more, David looks a little rigid, and Harvey is only in his thirties, and when he is in his prime, it is also a common topic of law.

But then it's hard for Harvey, the rich people he has contacted are not hundreds, but there are dozens, and there are several richer ones, and he hasn't seen any mansions, so he doesn't feel much when he looks at this, he thinks it's not bad, it's a good place for rich people to vacation.

Next to Zhao Jie, he was just polite to serve the same boss in the future, and knew that Zhao Jie had a good personal relationship with the boss. listened to her speech very carefully, and from time to time she also said two golden words, which could poke Zhao Jie's G. point, which made her more and more excited.

And Harvey still sighs and surprises from time to time. With this excited woman. In fact, he has long been bored to death in his heart, so it still makes sense for the lawyer to have a black belly and a black heart.
