Many thanks to employee Marcus.
Because of him, Kanfen Farm not only purchased rare land, but also added five short- and medium-range aircraft. The shortest one has a range of 200 kilometers, and the longest one has a range of 2,000 kilometers.
In order to act reasonably and avoid car bombs, Zhang Jing did not take a commercial flight this time. Instead, he used a private plane and flew directly over the farm.
Zhang Jing looked at the ranch from the air, as if he were looking at his girlfriend. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it.
Especially the big river called the "Blackfoot River" on the northern border. Its source comes from the Rocky Mountains. Except for the St. Lawrence River, almost all major rivers in North America originate from the Rocky Mountains.
The name of the river was given by the Indians, which probably means a place where bison drink.
The precious thing is that the Rocky Mountains only extend to New Mexico, a thousand kilometers due east, and there are almost no rivers flowing north of Los Angeles. It is the only one.
Generally speaking, buying the 90,000-acre ranch was largely a matter of luck. Without Marcus, Zhang Jing would not have been able to do it even with his head and six arms.
However, you must not float, let alone jump.
Although Citigroup advocates individual heroes, there will certainly be some who are jealous or even jealous.
With repeated instructions in my mind, the plane landed on the runway of the new farm a moment later.
Because of the bomb, Zhang Jing returned quietly. No one except the driver Ai Dejia knew about it.
The first thing after landing, Zhang Jing drove a pickup truck from the hangar door and came to the Blackfoot River.
The new farm is about 30 kilometers long from east to west, of which only 5 kilometers are adjacent to the Blackfoot River, but this is enough because it is more than 40 meters wide, with gentle water flow and sufficient water. Chinese website
It's very neat. You no longer have to worry about water shortage in the future. You can even dig a few more ponds in secluded places and plant some wild flowers. Wang Sisi likes it very much.
While walking along the river, Zhang Jing saw many wild animals, including bees, foxes, dung beetles, as well as many birds and coyotes.
After an hour of slow viewing, Zhang Jing left.
Drive along the picturesque road inside the farm for about ten kilometers and return to the living area located due east of the farm.
Like Kanfan Farm, the buildings are divided into three or four places.
The same is true for newly acquired ranches. The first is the rancher’s living area, the second is the employee’s living area, and the third is the production area.
Entering the manor through the back door, Zhang Jing parked the car under a row of beautiful awnings and took small steps through the backyard entertainment area.
David and Dilene are seen catching bugs behind a palm tree.
The two children were very serious and focused. They were all focused on the bugs and did not hear the footsteps.
Zhang Jing did not disturb them and walked towards a mat not far away. Anta and Zheng Muchao were chatting while basking in the sun.
Noticing Zhang Jing approaching, the two girls stood up quickly and greeted them together: "Good morning, boss."
"Good morning," Zhang Jing said with a friendly smile on his face, "How do you feel about a change of scenery?"
"The sunshine here is very good," Anta replied with a smile, "I thought Texas was already very warm, but I didn't expect it to be more comfortable here."
Also in early February, the night temperature in Xiaomao was below -6 degrees; in central Texas, the night temperature was about 5 degrees.
At the same time, the temperature in Los Angeles is about 11 degrees at night and can reach 18 or 19 degrees during the day.
Generally speaking, the number of people and homeless people in a place can reflect whether the local climate is livable.
"As long as you like it," Zhang Jing said with an easy-going personality, "Compared to 666 Ranch, it is closer to the city and easier to spend money. Pay attention to your wallet."
"It's a bit difficult to earn my money," Zheng Muyao looked conservative. "Except for basic living expenses, I don't even buy lipstick."
"Me too," Anta said weakly, "I want to save the money and send it back."
After a brief chat, Zhang Jing left the backyard, walked through the back hall of Youda, and found Ding Jiaqi, Barbie, and Yunique chatting in the small living room.
Unexpectedly, Yunique is also here, Zhang Jing thought she was still in Melbourne.
"What are you talking about?
Zhang Jing asked with a smile.
None of the three expected Zhang Jinghui to come back suddenly. Ding Jiaqi warmly came forward to hug him and introduced: "We are discussing how to plan a new pastoral area."
Zhang Jing smiled, "Is this difficult?"
"Yes," Ding Jiaqi replied affirmatively, "It's quite difficult because the previous owner of the ranch didn't manage it carefully, and more than 80% of the ranch's area couldn't even be used to graze cattle."
I originally thought that cattle could eat any grass they wanted, but after raising cattle, I realized that there was actually a lot of grass that was inedible and needed to be sorted out in advance to kill harmful grasses.
"What are you going to do?" Zhang Jing asked.
Ding Jiaqi looked at Yunique.
Wearing blue jeans, a thin gray jacket and distinctive lantern bangs, Yunique expressed her inner thoughts to Zhang Jing.
"There are many previous examples where, in order to maintain a flat farm, you can farm + raise cattle + brew + hotel + campground at the same time."
Farming sounds a bit ridiculous, but if you don’t farm, buying feed will be very expensive.
The same is true for raising cattle. Even if the previous farmer is a movie star and does not make a living by raising cattle, he still has to raise cattle. Too much cow dung is annoying, not more annoying.
I can't understand it.
Just like when the human body gets sick due to fever, 40 degrees Celsius is very painful. Although 0 degrees Celsius is not painful, the results are worse. The situation with cow dung is similar. It is the basic survival need of the farm. It plays a huge role and is irreplaceable.
Therefore, whether Zhang Jing supports it or not, he still wants to farm and raise cattle. The question is how much to raise?
"The information given by Carter," Yunique continued, "raising two cows in a year produces enough manure to be the base fertilizer of an acre of cornfield; the plan is to raise 6,000 beef cows and open up a 3,000-acre planting area within the new farm."
The total area is 90,000 acres, and 3,000 acres of planting area have been reclaimed. It seems that the proportion is small, but the actual scale is not small.
"What to plant in 3,000 acres?" Zhang Jing asked his adopted daughter.
"1,000 acres are planted with miscellaneous grains, mainly forage. Half the time they are free range and half the time they are raised in captivity; the other 2,000 acres are planted with four types of wine grapes."
Corn and green fodder used for raising cattle are generally harvested when the crops are immature.
For example, corn and green wheat are harvested together with the straw and immature fruits.
Therefore, the output is very large. 6,000 acres of land is enough to raise 6,000 cattle, and there is still a lot of surplus that can be used for other purposes.
But Zhang Jing was frightened by Yunique.
You can't say dirty words to children. Zhang asked in a tactful tone: "Do you know what you are talking about?"
"I know," Yunique nodded heavily. "The four types of wine grapes can produce an average of 6 tons per acre when mature. 2,000 acres is 12,000 tons of grapes."
Yunique kept talking, "A standard bottle of wine has a capacity of 0.75 liters. One ton of grapes can produce an average of 753 bottles of wine. The grapes required for each bottle of wine are 1/753≈0.0013 tons = 1.3 kilograms, and 2,000 acres of grapes Theoretically, it can produce 9.036 million bottles of wine per year.”
"Dear," Zhang Jing looked into Yunique's brown eyes, "do you know how many oak barrels are needed?"
"Standard oak barrels are 225 liters, a total of 30,120 are needed, each cost 600 yuan, a total of 18.072 million yuan." Yunique looked into her adoptive father's eyes and answered confidently.
"The original grape planting area of Kanfen Farm has been expanded twice, and now it has 1,000 acres," Zhang Jing finally reminded Yunique, "With so much, can it be sold in three to five years?"
"Maybe not," Yunique's momentum dropped sharply, "But judging from the sales of Leopard beer, maybe it can, but there are only three to five years in life, so we can't wait. This is a gamble."
Without the help of the treasure hunting system, there is no guarantee of winning, but Zhang Jing can afford to gamble and lose.
Considering his previous promise that the entire Leopard brand beer was Yunique's toy, Zhang Jing followed his words and encouraged him: "Work hard, I support you."
