Chapter 440: Grumbling
Zhang Chi turned his head and looked in the direction where the police car was leaving.
"I knew that I would also take the police exam, you see that there is nothing to do all day, just stumbling around, stumbling all my life and having a considerable pension when I am old, how good!" Zhang Chi said.
Miller listened and said to Zhang Chi: "In that case, I will call them back, and you will exchange them with the two of them at will, thousands of acres of ranchers and policemen, and I believe that none of them will refuse you." Dry cops? In the past, the police were easy to do, but now forget it, there are complaints everywhere and something, and before you can collect some money, you will be cleaned up."
"Are you familiar?"
"I've been a police officer before," Miller said.
Zhang Chi was a little unconvinced: "No, I've been here for more than ten years, why haven't I seen you?" ”
Zhang Chi felt that Miller was bragging to himself, Miller was slightly older than Zhang Chi, but it wasn't that big, if he really worked as a policeman, Zhang Chi couldn't have known about him.
Listening to Folsom, it is also a city, but there are really not many police, it is estimated that there are more than ten or twenty people, and this is still connected to the squatting office, and the police who really came out to patrol don't know if there are seven groups, that is, fourteen people.
If you're still unfamiliar with these dozen faces, you're definitely new.
"I'm not in Folsen, I'm in a small town on the Denver side, and I've been working for four or five months, and I've been complained about five or six times a month, and I just can't stand it anymore," Miller said.
Zhang Chi joked: "Collect black money? ”
"Can I still talk to you here now? It's been in a long time ago," Miller laughed.
followed Miller and Zhang Chi about being a policeman.
Zhang Chi has watched enough of this on TV, it is nothing new, but it came out of Miller's mouth, which made Zhang Chi feel that the angle was a little special and interesting, so he listened with his ears pricked up.
The police are really not good, now the number of police in many cities is not enough, everyone doesn't want to be a policeman, first of all, it's dangerous, with guns to mix in the streets, I don't know which one to face, do you have to worry about it?
The second is that there is not much money, and the salary of the police is actually not high, at least the police on Amber's side are not as high as the salary of the company's white-collar workers.
The third is to be angry.
If you really take it, it's stable.
The media here like to fan the flames, and these just and unjust media don't care about this, all they care about is sales.
"From the perspective of a bystander, you think that maybe you shouldn't have pulled a gun to shoot, but in fact you weren't there, you think about the fact that you have a gun, and the person opposite also has a gun, it's not a matter of grinding the upper lip against the lower lip, you are a living person.
Are you afraid? Any little bit of wind and grass, you will subconsciously shoot, you are not saying what to do, this is not going to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, you are going to save your life! Slow down, your life may be gone, this is not a joke, it is not a game, you can still live if you die, you have a life, if you are gone, you will be gone! ”
Miller took a sip and let out a sigh: "Okay, finally quit, come back and take care of the family's ranch with your family, although the work is a little tiring, but it's better than going out to work all day and worrying."
"It's good to be a cowboy."
Zhang Chi smiled and touched Miller with the beer bottle in his hand.
Bite!
"It's good," Miller laughs, "just don't make any money."
"No way, that's how the market is. It's hard to make a lot of money with a dull job," Zhang Chile said.
Ranching to make money? It's really not profitable.
If it weren't for the power of the gourd, Zhang Chi would have lost his pants a long time ago, not to mention a ranch like Zhang Chi, even if it is a ranch of tens of thousands of acres, if it is a pure cattle raising, there is no other industry and no money, and the normal income is between three or four hundred thousand dollars, which refers to the net income.
Isn't three or four hundred thousand dollars a year enough for the average person? But compared to other investment industries, the returns of ranches are really average.
As for small ranches, let's say dozens of acres, it can't be pure ranching, most of them are what, urban otaku with a little spare money in their hands, they work in the city most of the week, and return to the ranch on weekends to rest and work along the way.
There are very few small ranchers who actually live on their ranches, and there will be fewer and fewer in the future.
There were no restrictions on land annexation, and more and more land was collected in the hands of wealthy people in the future.
For example, Bill, who is now the largest landowner in the United States, can even affect the price of food.
"Beef in the supermarket is getting more and more expensive, but cattle ranchers are not making any money, this world," Miller said with emotion.
Zhang Chi smiled and did not respond.
Like this kind of complaint, go to the small hotel in the town, and you can hear the closing from the opening door, which may be accompanied by a comfortable insult.
But does it work? It's useless, it's useless at all, and if it really works, then a few slaughtering companies won't monopolize the entire American slaughtering market.
Everyone knows who the cancer is, but there is nothing to be done.
Unite? It's easy to remember, but it's hard to do.
The slaughterhouse guys united, whether it was the police, the judges, or the National Guard, all became their people in an instant, including many large ranchers, who had long been standing in the trenches of others, and talked about bird unity.
There is no war yet, half of the original natural allies have gone to the other side, or the particularly powerful half, what do you say?
Besides, it is necessary to unite and unite early, as for the eighty percent share of several major companies.
Miller scolded for a while, starting with the governor and ending with the mayor.
"The market for Amber cattle is rising," Miller said.
Zhang Chi naturally wanted to think more when he heard this, so he opened his mouth and asked, "Do you want to raise Amber cows?" ”
Miller nodded: "Yes, but no money".
As mentioned above, the rancher does not make any money, although Miller's family's ranch is two or three thousand acres, but the cattle are not as many as Zhang Chi's current small ranch, how can there be any money.
If they want to invest in Amber Cattle, their family really doesn't have the capital.
This is what Zhang Chi said, many ranchers are worth a lot of money, but they don't have a few whole tickets in their pockets, all of them are imaginary.
Now the price of Amber cattle has been rising, and it is not only the size of Amber cattle that has contributed to this trend, but also the meat yield. There is still one indicator that has not come out, that is, the feeding cycle, that is, the time it takes for the calves to grow into adults, if this is qualified, then Amber cattle have the potential to become one of the most economically valuable cattle breeds.
It is possible that these three words will attract a group of people to bet now, and what is the most important thing to make money? Courage, you dare to bet when you have the opportunity, you can only win if you bet, even if you don't bet, even if you know it, it's useless.
If you don't have money, then there's no way, even if Miller is a friend of Zhang Chi, Zhang Chi can't say that he sold his Amber cattle to his family at a fair price, that's impossible.
This is giving money to people for no reason, and Zhang Chi's brain is not sick.
Besides, in the United States, you have to understand one thing, my interests are my interests, we are friends, but don't talk about interests, if we talk about it, then we are doing business, to put it bluntly, we talk about friendship when we are friends, talk about interests when we talk about business, and talk about irrelevant things.
If you get confused, you're losing money and don't have friends.
"The price of Amber cattle has gone up again, to eight dollars a pound," Miller said.
Zhang Chi smiled: "It's good, but it has little to do with me."
Most of the remaining cows in Zhang Chi's current pasture are cows, and even if there are young bulls, they still have to feed most of the time at the moment.
The bulls in the original herd, except for a few reserved as breeding males, almost all of the rest were knifed, either on the neck or under the crotch, in short, now it is Zhang Chi's two family's 'pouring milk' action in the Amber cattle market.
In fact, it is precisely thanks to the means of Zhang Chi and his family that those who have found defective cattle can enjoy such a good price.
If Zhang Chi lets go here and sells everything, even the descendants of the bull, then those cattle who find the second cow and their family will definitely not be able to sell at this price, let alone this price, they are lucky to be able to sell the price of the breed of cattle.
"What are you talking about, you said you came to swim and I didn't see you go down a few times."
Sun Yanping came over, he knows a little English, but you let him understand Miller's spoken English, that's really impressive.
To be honest, if it weren't for Zhang Chi staying here for ten years, Zhang Chi wouldn't have understood what Miller said.
English also has dialects, just like our China, although it belongs to a country and speaks the same language, but some local dialects can make you listen to it and don't know what he says, and even you don't know if they are speaking human language.
Usually, Amber's dialect is very unpopular and contributes a lot to the entertainment industry. In the entertainment industry, people who generally speak this dialect have two hundred and five images.
Sun Yanping listened to Miller speak like this, knowing that it was English, but he didn't know what he was talking about, so it was better to gesture.
"Talk about cattle raising. By the way, brother-in-law, did you catch your fish? Zhang Chi asked with a smile.
After talking to Miller for a while, or let's put it that way, seeing Miller's poor appearance, Zhang Chi's heart felt much better.
Sun Yanping smiled awkwardly: "I didn't catch it, I'll be able to do it now, maybe you don't have many thorns in the pond, or maybe the thorns have gone to school, and we caught the ones skipping class."
Zhang Chi couldn't help but be happy when he heard his brother-in-law's words.
Unless the fish is farmed, it is difficult to catch it if it is wild, although Zhang Chi's pond is also considered to belong to breeding, but the amount of seedlings released by Zhang Chi is much rarer than that of artificial farms, at most it is dozens of large, and there will be no more.
"Forget it, then let it go, I'll go back and get a few cages to go down to the pond, as for whether you can eat or not, it can only depend on whether you have a good mouth," Zhang Chi said with a smile.
"Okay".
There are only three fish, which is less than two catties in total, and even if it is made, it is enough for anyone to eat.
