I once dreamed of traveling to the end of the world with my sword and seeing the prosperity of the world. My young heart was always a little frivolous. Now you are at home all over the world. The girl who once made you feel bad...
"dilidiliden da,dilidilida da,dilidiliden da..."
Washington State, over the Coast Mountains and into the Great Plains.
The pickup truck was playing music, and Chen Mo pressed down the window. When it was time to hum, Chen Mo and Bai Xiaoou started humming together.
It’s noon, the sun is above your head, the sky is high and the sky is high. You can’t see the end of the straight and spacious road, and there is green on both sides of the road...
After passing the large farm area, we came to the pasture area.
The green pasture is growing vigorously, and groups of black cattle and white sheep are sparsely scattered and grazing leisurely on the grassland.
Leaving the coastal city, you can see several small towns within a few hours of driving...
"Ahead are the Rocky Mountains." Bai Xiaoou suddenly turned off the music and said.
The hills ahead are getting farther and higher, and the mountains are faintly visible.
“Montana is a vast and sparsely populated state. It is known as the Land of the Sky and the Land of the Sky. Some people also call Montana the land of wealth.”
"Montana has been selected as the place with the best air quality in the United States, and the environment is also very good. With its vast land and sparse population, coupled with the policies of the state government, Montana has changed a lot in recent years... As for how big it is
, you can compare the satellite maps from the past three years."
"There are many ranches in Montana, especially ranches with an area of 50 to 150 hectares. The company I work for has enclosed 160,000 hectares of land in Yellowstone County and plans to develop 1,500 ranches. It will mainly be provided to the wealthy for vacation..."
"160,000 hectares, how big is it?" Chen Mo was a little confused,
"Hmm... 2.4 million acres. A walk along the planning area is 155 kilometers..."
Chen Mo opened his mouth and was a little shocked: "With such a large area, the land investment alone must cost a lot of money."
"The cost of the land is 0." Bai Xiaoou shrugged: "The large pastoral area is in the West Coast District of Billings City, close to the no-man's land of Yellowstone Park. The land is desolate and worthless, and the local government even gave us money to cooperate with us... Of course
These initial construction investments are subsidized by the local government. When it is completed and sold in the future, we have to pay taxes to the government... At the same time, it also attracts wealthy people to settle here."
"After the ranch launched by your company is completed, how much will it cost for a 100-hectare ranch?"
"Starting from US$500,000. The specific price depends on the location and the supporting building facilities selected. We have sold more than 20 ranches, and some people requested Wright Prairie style country villa houses, with different decorations, horse stables, and Happy Valley.
Plan these...As long as it is not a particularly good ranch, the ranch building facilities are more valuable than the land. The most expensive ranch has an optional completed value of US$2.95 million and an area of 235 hectares. At such a price, you can buy an area of more than 500 hectares in a remote place.
Fertile land with water rights. But the building facilities will not be very good..."
Bai Xiaoou told Chen Mo about the customs and customs of Montana, as well as some basic knowledge about ranches and farms.
Pastures do not necessarily have to be used for grazing, and farms do not necessarily have to be used to grow cereals and vegetables. If you plan to operate a pasture or farm, you must first clearly determine the actual usable area of the land and how much water rights you have.
Ranches, farms, in Montana can be commodities, as investments, commodities with the function of preserving value.
There are many rich people investing in ranches in Montana. They have a few horses on hundreds of acres of ranches, and just hire a few people to look after them...
There is also a lot of knowledge when investing in pastures. The most important consideration is not whether the land is fertile or not, but the future development plan of the local government and the scenery.
For example, the pasture near the Rekeqi Snow Mountain has increased in value nearly ten times in five years, and it is difficult to buy it even if you have money. There are pastures and farms in the east and northeast, but no one cares about them. The price is $100,000.
You can buy a 100-acre farm, including the farm buildings, machinery and equipment, but no one wants it. The location is too remote, with no city visible for dozens or hundreds of kilometers, and the land is not flat and barren. Besides being desolate, it is still desolate...
"Are you going to buy a ranch or a farm?"
"Is there any difference?" Chen Mo shrugged. The car had already entered the Rocky Mountains. Chen Mo saw a small city...
Before coming to the United States, Chen Mo learned about Montana online. The Internet said that the scenery in Montana is very good. What I have seen now is indeed good... But Chen Mo prefers to live in a place with a large population, such as California, New York, etc. Montana
Zhou, that is, Chen Mo's buddies are here...
"Farms are usually on plains, and pastures are on hills... Actually, there is no difference. It's just a matter of irrigation water rights..."
It takes more than ten hours to drive from Seattle to Billings, Montana, and it's midnight when we arrive.
Billings is the first city in Montana with a population of more than 100,000, and it is also the most populous and prosperous city in Montana.
After ten o'clock in the evening, the orange street lights in the small city seemed dim. There was no one on the street, not even a homeless person was seen.
Bai Xiaoou and the others live in Billings Hills, a wealthy area. Zhang Kun prepared dinner at home. When he saw Bai Xiaoou driving back in his car, he came out to greet...
"Why did you come back so late?"
"More than a thousand kilometers away, my God, I'm driving very fast." Bai Xiaoou was very tired after driving for more than ten hours, so he got out of the car and stretched.
Chen Mo looked into the living room mischievously and took stock of the big house: "You two live in such a big house? There are no two blond foreign girls hiding there."
Zhang Kun raised his middle finger fiercely: "Damn, as soon as I arrived, I was thinking about a corrupt life. Either way, or..." Zhang Kun raised his middle finger and said seriously, then took it back and immediately smiled: "How many dates will I make tomorrow?
If a big horse comes out to dance, if you see it right, you can take it directly to the show... The little girls here are very unrestrained."
Bai Xiaoou was speechless: "You two are old enough, don't think about playing around. It's serious business to find a woman you can live with."
Zhang Kun looked disdainful: "I said you are a gentleman, but you are crazier than anyone else in the nightclub."
Bai Xiaoou blinked funnyly: "Stick to your heart, stick to your heart...Don't teach Chen Mo, an upstart, and lead him astray. As the old saying goes, it's easy to learn bad things but hard to learn well."
"Fake squid." Chen Mo said the most fluent English.
The three of them walked into the living room with smiles. Zhang Kun was cooking today and made fried steak... There were also decanters, wine glasses, and a candle on the table.
Seeing these, Chen Mo suddenly felt a chill, and looked at the two of them with a strange expression: "You two live together, and this is how you usually eat?"
Bai Xiaoou also saw the problem and guessed what Chen Mo was thinking, and his face twitched: "We rarely eat together...the candlelight dinner, the atmosphere is a bit ambiguous!"
"Lao Chen must have put things in order on the first day he came here. The atmosphere must also be improved... Okay, these are the takeaways I ordered, and the candle lanterns are provided." I didn't realize it just now, it was mainly because of the candle lanterns on the table.
...The atmosphere suddenly became ambiguous after it was lit.
"Two gays..." Chen Mo smiled and sat down.
"Three gays..." Bai Xiaoou poured a glass of red wine for Chen Mo: "Whenever we can gather four gays to live together, that would be beautiful."
Chen Mo shook his head with a smile and raised his glass: "If you have a chance, do it..."
"Damn, beast, this is Malkason. Good wine, you have to taste it slowly."
