Chapter 77 One step away

The days of those small farmers are not as leisurely as reported by the media, let alone old Bruno. The farm he manages is not owned by him, but rented. To put it bluntly, he also

When you work for a farmer, the owner of the farm will take away a considerable portion of your income every year!

"You have to buy seeds from them, as well as pesticides and fertilizers. You remember Carl Ranch, old Carl was almost forced to go bankrupt!"

Old Bruno babbled to Song Yang and said that several major seed groups in America are now close to controlling all the planting industry in America.

Not only the planting industry, but also the ranching industry is controlled by several major food giants in America. Those small ranchers have basically become workers for the food giants.

Food giants such as Bunge and Tyson control more than half of the meat on American tables, and farmers are forced to work for these food giants.

Because these food giants provide small ranchers with orders and new feeding methods, feeds, etc. For example, chickens that originally took two or three months to grow can only be grown in two or three months according to the food giants’ feeding methods and special feeds.

It can arrive on the diners' tables within a week or even ten days...

What's even more exaggerated is that the growth of these chickens can also be adjusted according to market demand. If chicken breasts are popular, the chicken breasts of these raised chickens are more than three to five times larger than ordinary chickens.

.

As for those who are unwilling to work for these food giants, just like the old Carl in the mouth of old Bruno, in Song Yang's impression, he is a hot-tempered and quite temperamental red-neck, and now he is about to be squeezed out of bankruptcy.

The production costs of cattle, sheep, chickens, etc. in his pasture are much higher than those of farms working for food giants, and the food giants are not willing to give Carl orders. If Carl is not willing to bow to the food giants,

, can only wait for bankruptcy.

The ranch that I have been running for most of my life was taken away by the bank, and after a series of dizzying formalities and transactions, the final result of that ranch may be that it was bought at a low price by a ranch company owned by a certain food giant...

Listening to old Bruno's words, Song Yang felt that he had no choice but to learn from the richest man who had made his fortune from scratch. He bought hundreds of thousands of acres of land and became the largest farmer in America. At least he could know where the food he ate came from.

of.

Who says Americans don’t love land? Bill Gates, who has always been regarded as a representative of technology, has bought a lot of land. He has purchased a large amount of land in many states in America, and even in Europe, Africa and other places.

land, up to 270,000 acres.

How big is 270,000 acres? It’s just over a thousand square kilometers. It’s almost as big as the port city, and it’s larger than Singapore, Morocco, Brunei, Mauritius and other small countries...

"Song!"

At this time, Gallo's voice came over. Gallo, holding a shotgun in his hand, called Song Yang, "Let's go with Moore to clean up those wild boars!"

There is no tradition of protecting wild boars in America. Mentioning these things makes me hate them. Farms and pastures are savaged by these wild boars several times a year.

Moore, a burly man, looks very oppressive, but actually has no temper. In the past, he was the one who took care of Song Yang and the others.

After putting on a protective suit for Song Yang and checking the shotgun, Moore let Song Yang get into the car and drove towards the depths of the farm.

"It's been a long time since I've hunted. Let those piggies know what the shooting skills of the best cowboy in the West are like!" Gallo, sitting in the car, boasted to Song Yang.

Song Yang glanced at Gallo, who was enjoying himself there, and touched the old-fashioned shotgun in his hand. Song Yang was a little excited. In his previous life, he had no chance to touch this thing, and there was no place to hunt. As for wild boars, then

It is a beast that sits on the bottom of the prison and penetrates.

Arriving at the depths of the farm, Moore saw the corn, soybeans and other crops being planted. He quickly discovered traces of the wild boars and drove after them.

Song Yang also saw this group of wild boars. It was a small group of wild boars. The leader was a large wild boar nearly two meters long, fat and covered with brown bristles. Song Yang felt that this wild boar weighed at least two to three hundred kilograms.

, a grown man probably can’t fight this thing with his bare hands.

Seeing the wild boar, Song Yang also raised his shotgun and shot it, but naturally he missed.

"Song, how come your marksmanship has become so bad? I remember you were not like this before!" Gallo couldn't help but complain about Song Yang. He felt that since Song Yang became an "Internet genius", some aspects have become rare.

Basketball's baseball skills have plummeted, and now his marksmanship is even worse.

Song Yang was also a little embarrassed. He glared at Gallo angrily and said a famous saying, "There's something wrong with the gun!"

Wild boars are not slow. They can reach speeds of up to 48 kilometers. We can only keep chasing them by driving. During this trip, we actually didn’t hit many wild boars. Only the largest wild boar was killed by Gallo for more than a dozen times.

After shooting, he finally fell down, and the rest were little Piggy, who was overtaken by a pickup truck.

This can be regarded as driving away the wild boars in Bruno's farm. As for what to do if these wild boars run to other farms.

Well, actually, that's what I originally thought, just drive them away. Anyway, the dead Taoist friend is not the poor Taoist, as long as they don't croak here, as for where they are croaking, that has nothing to do with Bruno's farm, and these wild boars have nothing to do with it.

They were driven here by other farms. The entire herd of American wild boars totals more than six million. How could they possibly capture them...

The shotgun was on the farm, crackling for a long time, and the pickup truck returned with a few wild boars. The wild boars didn't shoot many, but Song Yang got a little better with his accuracy.

When Song Yang returned to his place on the farm, he heard a quarrel coming from inside as soon as he entered the house.

It was Daisy and Greco who were arguing. Daisy was yelling at Greco, "I'm also from the Bruno family. Why can't I get a share? Those money belong to little Bruno, not you Greco!"

Dai Qian thought that Greg was blocking it and taking the money Song Yang earned for himself, preventing Dai Qian and the others from sharing it.

Greco, who was being scolded, said with helplessness and anger, "The Bruno family is the Bruno family, and Song is Song. I have no right to interfere with his decision!"

However, Daisy obviously did not agree with this statement, "Little Bruno has been following you since he was a child. I have already heard that you have moved into a new villa. Logan and you, Milia, have entered the best private school in Houston."

, these can’t be fake, right?”

As she spoke, Daisy began to cover her face and cry, "I don't want as much as you guys got from Greg, I just want a lump sum. Our mortgage in Austin has expired and the insurance has been cut off for three months. Gary

Having been unemployed for several months, Camille is about to go to college..."

Gary is Daisy's husband, and Camille is their daughter, who is also Song Yang's cousin. Daisy is arguing with Greco, and Mason and others are sitting aside.

Song Yang walked in at this time. Dai Qian couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when she saw Song Yang coming in, "Little Bruno, I..."

Song Yang waved his hand, sat aside, and looked at the people in the room. The people sitting here were basically relatives of this body. Unless Song Yang didn't recognize any of them, it would be impossible to get around.

Pass them.

"Uncle Greg and I have actually already talked about it. The Bruno Foundation has been established. Members of the Bruno family can join and serve in it and receive a federally stipulated salary every month!"

"As for those who need to go to school, such as Carmi, Little Miria, and Logan, I will pay their tuition through the Bruno Foundation!"

"Of course, if anyone is dissatisfied, they don't have to join the Bruno Foundation!"

Hearing Song Yang's words, Dai Qian felt happy, but also a little unwilling. Being able to join the Bruno Foundation meant that they could live safely in the future and no longer have to worry about their livelihood.

But unfortunately, this was far from what Dai Qian expected. There were no villas, luxury cars, or luxury goods.

But looking at Song Yang's face, Dai Qian didn't dare to say anything. If Song Yang canceled her qualification to join the Bruno Foundation, it would be more of a loss than a gain for her.

As for Ma Sen, his face was full of joy. He didn't expect much at first, but now he can get a sum of money for nothing. This is definitely an unexpected gain for him.

Song Yang took out a check from his pocket and placed it in front of Ma Sen, "Use this money to buy this farm. In the future, this farm will be owned by the Bruno Foundation!"

Song Yang knew that Bruno Sr.'s biggest wish was to have a farm of his own. According to Houston prices, this 180-acre farm would cost around US$190,000.

After the old Bruno couple left for more than a hundred years, the farm would be owned by the Bruno family, and the profits would be equally divided among everyone.

When Old Bruno heard that Song Yang was going to buy this farm for him, he immediately said to Song Yang, "Little Bruno, you don't need to do this. This farm is not worth the price at all."

Although he said this, Old Bruno was obviously quite happy to have a farm of his own. During dinner, he roasted the wild boar that he had brought back and gave it to Song Yang as a snack.

After staying at the farm for two days, Song Yang and the others began to return to Houston. Many people called Song Yang in the past two days.

In the past few years, in addition to Jenny's phone number, Double Click Company has also made many calls to Song Yang. In addition to some things that require Song Yang's consent and signature, the other most important thing is the hotmail email address.

Over there, internal testing has begun, and it’s only one step away from going online!

After Song Yang returned to Houston, he didn't have time to go to the small apartment to eat Jenny's piece of cream cake, so he rushed to the Harbor Office Building first.

Entering the development department of the hotmail mailbox project, Wesley, Irene and others were there. After Song Yang passed by, he directly asked Wesley, "How is the internal beta now?"
