Chapter 1368 "America's Great Rancher"
It's cloudy today, and it's dark at five o'clock.
The female black bear carefully burrowed back into the hole after hurriedly eating, her children were too young to have any hair, and they could easily freeze to death after leaving their mothers in the falling temperatures.
Joanna went back early to prepare the ingredients for dinner, and Han Xuan, Daddy, and Anya also packed their things and went home.
Before leaving, Anya accidentally caught a silver carp weighing about 35 catties, and when it was lifted to the surface, it opened its mouth wide and jumped around in the snow, which can be regarded as an unexpected joy.
On the way home, Han Qianshan pointed to a building protruding from the horizon in the distance and told his son: "I have built an entertainment center there, and there are too few places for cowboys to spend their time.
Having cinemas, cigar salons, bookstores, etc., plus law enforcement inspections, should dispel their desire to gamble, and it is really stupid to work hard for a year to make money only to end up in someone else's pocket. ”
Han Xuan said: "But those who gamble always think that they can put other people's money in their own pockets, and small gambling pleasure and big gambling hurt the body, and the gambling atmosphere cannot be connived." ”
He looked at the new building near the resort in the distance, which seemed to be taller than the hotel, and Daddy had spent a lot of money trying to entertain the cowboys and other employees.
Remembering one thing, he turned his head sideways and asked his father, "How much money did our ranch make this year?"
Last time I watched the news, it was reported that at the beginning of this month, medium and large meat merchants from all over the world came to grab the goods, and the price should not be bad, right? ”
"Well, the finance side is counting, and it should be $1.4 billion.
Cattle and sheep plus wool, vegetable plantations, orchards, milk powder processing plants, toffee processing factories, resorts, etc., can probably achieve this profit.
After all, the investment is very small, except for the cost of workers, processing and transportation, as well as the cost of buying calves and lambs, it does not cost much elsewhere.
The tax gave me a bit of a pain, but luckily there was a passenger pigeon here, and the government gave us a tax break, otherwise by next April, I would have become the largest taxpayer in Northwest Montana, and maybe I could have received a medal from the government for it.
By the way, son, if I give you this money, where are you going to invest it? ”
"You're not going to buy gold for storage?"
Han Xuan laughed at his father mercilessly, he had so much cash in his hand, but he spent a few hundred dollars from Augusta Town to hire an old accountant to be his investment consultant, and all of them were bought into gold, this kind of strange thing, I am afraid that only his father can do it.
Han Qianshan's face was unhappy, and he couldn't say weakly: "You have found so many gold mines, why should I buy gold, can I use it to build a house of pure gold?" ”
"It's said that the golden house is very good, and it's good to use it to build a house, at least no one can steal it, I don't know what it's like to live in it, if you really do this, it may become the ninth wonder of the world in the future."
I'm probably going to get into the Internet, and although there is a bubble, it should be safe in the last year or two, not to the point where it will burst suddenly.
Or invest in Trump Real Estate and my Snow Mountain Real Estate, it is expected that the property market will be very hot in the next 20 years, especially in some rapidly rising developing countries, but hoarding land will consume a lot of liquidity, and the prospects for this industry are good. ”
Chinese people who grew up in the United States will also form an obsession with land under the subtle influence of their parents, and pay more attention to houses and land than Westerners.
Daddy Han immediately replied, "Then vote for your real estate company."
Some of the short-term treasury bonds are about to mature, and together with this year's profits, we should be able to raise about $1.5 billion, and I still have the money to buy calves and lambs next year.
I don't want shares, it's a loan, and I get a return of 7% a year, which is more cost-effective than buying treasury bonds, can the law allow this practice? ”
"Yes, seven percent of the money I'll make, are you sure you want more?"
"What does a family say, what can I do if I want money, pile it up on a wall and watch it all day long?
I can't find a place to spend money, and when I think about it like this, it's really a failure, and it seems that it's time to do charity. ”
The bodyguards who heard Han Qianshan's words and Dai Ni burst into tears, and they all thought together: "You can give me a lot of money, I don't think it's ...... money."
On the way home, I met an arctic fox.
I thought it had prey in its mouth, but later I found out that it was a little fox, which was put on the snow by its mother, walking slowly, and the arctic fox even had hair on the soles of its feet.
In the summer, the fur of this fox turns a messy color and looks ugly, and in the winter it turns snow-white, and the color of the fur changes with the weather to use as a camouflage, nature is indeed magical......
When he got home, he saw Pooh vomiting on a pine tree, and he was still holding a large jar of honey.
Han Xuan walked towards it, he could smell the smell of wine from a long distance, he didn't know how much it had eaten, and it was not a comfortable thing to see the oversized puddle of vomit in the snow.
Old John was sitting in a pickup truck smoking a cigar, and when he saw Han Xuan, he said to him, "This guy made a bet with the brewery workers, and the workers told him to drink two gallons of beer and give him honey."
I didn't think it had actually drunk two gallons, and Pooh was already drunk when I heard the news that it had been put into my pickup truck with a forklift, and I had already taught the workers a hard lesson. ”
Hearing the news, Han Xuan was angry and funny, almost seven and a half liters of beer, poured out to fill a large barrel, and it would be okay if he could vomit after being drunk, he walked over and patted Pooh's back and asked Daddy to pour some warm water.
Pooh also knows how to wipe his mouth with clean snow, staggering when he walks, gasping for breath on the porch, cooing in his mouth, and holding a honey jar without letting go, it is not difficult to imagine how obsessed this Kodiak Island brown bear is with honey.
Han Xuan asked Old John, "Is the original puree beer still diluted?"
How did it get there, didn't the brewery workers have a holiday? ”
Old John shook his head: "Diluted, otherwise it wouldn't be what it is now, maybe it smelled honey, so it ran over, you know, this guy has a very sensitive nose and can smell the wind."
There is still some work to be done in the brewery, and they have a holiday tonight, and their wages are doubled during the holidays, so don't worry about them ......"
Daddy brought warm water to Pooh to drink, and he was just thirsty, so he quickly drank a basin, and then ran into the house and lay lazily on his stomach, and Anya went to bring a blanket and help take care of the drunk.
"I happened to be cooking dinner, do you want to stay and eat together?"
"No, Kelly is already cooking food at home, and my son is back."
Old John was full of smiles, Little John was now in charge of a department of the SOS Group, he was very happy about it, and after saying goodbye to Han Xuan, he drove away in a pickup truck.
Killing fish and washing vegetables, busy making dinner, Han Xuan remembered what his mother said at noon, went to the garage to get a small shovel and iron bucket, and went out to dig in the snow and mud.
To choose a good place, you must avoid the fixed "place of reincarnation of grains" such as Pooh and Obama, and the mud under the pine trees is the best, mixed with pine needles, and will have a faint pine smell.
While digging, a mischievous gray squirrel kept hitting Han Xuan's head with food, and he was not to be outdone, throwing a snowball up and almost smashing the squirrel down.
A little mud is enough, carry the iron bucket into the garage, and by the way, look at the Tai Sui who is still kept in the tank, it has become much bigger in the past two years, Han Xuan wants to taste it, but he doesn't dare to eat it.
When he came to the kitchen, he poured some water into the bucket of mud, mixed it into a thin puree, and asked Joanna, "Where are the chickens?" ”
"In the refrigerator, I just got it from the cafeteria, and the ice hasn't melted yet."
"It's okay, just finish it over the fire." Han Xuan took off his rubber gloves covered with mud, opened the refrigerator door and saw the chicken, his heart was broken, and he wondered, "Turkey? ”
His mother said, "Yes, there are so many people, and ordinary chickens are not enough to eat." ”
“…… Okay, Mom, hand me the olive oil and wash a few more lotus leaves for me. ”
"It's been washed, soaked in boiling water a few times, and it's right under the table."
……
Brush a layer of oil on the outside of the turkey, and then wrap it with lotus leaves, the turkey is bigger than the bucket, and you can't put the whole one, so you can only use your hands to wipe the mud on the lotus leaves, the volume is beyond your expectations, and the mud is almost not enough.
Then put it in the oven, set it for half an hour, wash your hands, grab a tomato, and go to the restaurant to watch TV with Daddy.
Anya sat on the couch reading a book with the cover reading: "America's Great Rancher".
Han Xuan approached and put his arms around her and asked, "Write about my family's ranch?" There's a picture of them on the cover. ”
"Well, the author claims to be a resident of the snow-capped mountain ranch, describing what he has seen and heard here and what happened in your family, the writing is quite good, and there is a sense of tranquility in Walden."
Anya let him hold him, too lazy to push away, she was too tired today to move.
"I don't really like Walden, it feels like a running account, and the first time I saw the text, I didn't know it was the text.
Dad, who wrote this book, and the ranch has a writer? ”
"A young employee, who works on a vegetable plantation, likes to write about everything, I saw him once, and he looks very handsome.
He paid for the printing of a thousand copies himself, and no one wanted to buy them in the bookstore in the town, and our life here is all, herding cattle and sheep, who wants to read this kind of content?
Half a year has passed, and there are more than 800 copies of those 1,000 copies left, all of which were purchased with friendly sponsorship, such as me.
All the money of that guy was used to print books, and he couldn't even afford to pay for it at the beginning, and his friends got married and hid at home and didn't dare to go, which was about to become a joke in Martinez's mouth. ”
"Maybe there are people in big cities who like to live in a quiet life, and now that the pace of life in big cities is so fast, they need to relax through books.
Anya, show me, if it's not bad, maybe I'll help publish it, and I'll give it back to you in five minutes at most......"
