Three hundred and ninetieth chapters dig like this
It took a whole day to sign a few documents, and the valley near Kingman was in Ju An's name. Ju An was responsible for the signatures, and old Leonard was responsible for planting plants. As for how to plan this ranch, he still had to go back.
Just ask two old cowboys, Thomas and Lawrence.
Things in California are almost done, and Ju'an's vacation is officially over. The next time he comes again will probably be next year. Otherwise, it's a waste of villas. I only come here once or twice a year.
Most of the time, housekeepers live in villas. They live in luxury houses with their money, and it is really hard to be a wealthy person who pays taxes of hundreds of thousands a year.
When he left the villa, Ju An was a little worried, thinking about the ten months he spent to maintain the house in vain. When he got on the plane, he forgot about it, thinking about his wife and children at home, and a smile appeared on his lips.
The group of people walked out of Lewistown Airport. What surprised Ju An was that Thomas and Lawrence came to pick him up. He stepped forward and said with a smile: "Didn't we ask the two men to come to pick us up? Why are you two here instead?"
Come over”.
Lawrence smiled and said: "I heard that there is a new pasture. If you want us to plan it, we will come to pick you up, and then we can discuss how to get started as soon as possible." As Lawrence said this, he followed Ju An towards the outside of the airport.
Go.
After leaving the airport, Nien said to Ju An: "An! We won't follow you back. We have to go to the company."
Ju An said to his lawyer and accountant: "Well, thank you for your hard work, everyone." Following Nin and others, he said hello, and Ju An and Leonard got into the pickup truck driven by Thomas.
Dan got in the car, and just as he drove out of the parking lot, Ju An heard Leonard chatting with Thomas behind him: "Look, this is such a large area. I plan to plant plants first, and talk about housing and so on."
You guys come and think about it.”
Thomas looked at the drawings and thought without saying a word.
Ju An smiled and turned to Leonard and said, "Let's wait until we get home, don't rush to work now."
Leonard smiled and said, "This is my habit. Let's discuss it together at home."
The car drove to the door of the house, and Ju An walked down with his luggage. Nini, his son Ju Chi, and Wang Fan's son Hu Zi had already arrived at the door and looked at them. Ju An touched the three little heads one by one.
After a while, Clockwork and others scratched him a few times. Teddy was very quiet today. He was lying in front of the house. When he saw Ju An coming back, he hummed in a low voice.
Ju An walked into the house carrying the suitcase and saw Dinah coming up to him. He held his wife in his arms and kissed her: "I will send the luggage upstairs first, prepare some drinks for Leonard and the others, and bring it to me."
We have something to discuss in the study room."
Seeing Dinah nodding, Ju An carried his luggage upstairs.
I put down my luggage, went into the bathroom, washed my face, refreshed myself, and then returned to my study room on the first floor. The three old men were already standing in front of Ju An's desk, stretching their heads and looking at the drawings of Kingman Ranch.
, by the way, it’s not called Kingman Ranch, it’s called Hans Ranch. Looking at the three old men standing next to the coffee without moving, they said jokingly: "You have bought standing tickets, so sit down and watch."
"It would be difficult for the three of us to sit down and look at the drawings together, so it's better to stand up," Lawrence said to Ju An while drawing on the drawings with his hands without looking back.
After hearing what the old man said, Ju An walked to the edge of the table, tilted his buttocks and sat directly on the table. Anyway, his desk was big enough, and stretched his head to look at the drawings.
Thomas grabbed a pencil in the pen holder and drew on the drawing: "The most labor-saving method for this place is to pump underground water, but this requires approval from the state. If the water is diverted, it is not too far away from Lake Mead.
It is necessary to estimate how cost-effective it is to invest twice.”
Ju An waved his hand and said: "Don't estimate, just pump groundwater directly, and it will be in the center of the pasture." Ju An stretched out his hand and drew a line in the center of the valley: "Open an artificial long strip here.
Once the lake is up, it will be easier to fetch water by yourself. If we don’t have to apply for an easement from the state, it will be too late to wait for the state to approve it.”
Lawrence nodded after hearing this and said: "That's true, but if we open a lake, it's probably worth one or two million dollars." Ju An's hand painted a little bit like this, which would take an area of more than ten acres at least, and it would also take more to dig a shallow lake.
So much money.
"Just spend what you have to spend, there's nothing to save," Ju An said with a gentle slap on his thigh. But in his heart, he was thinking, if we don't open the lake, buddy, where can I pour space water? I can't pour it in.
Go to Lake Mead, isn't this letting others follow the profits?
Besides, this time my friend didn’t put the water to grow grass, but the water to grow thick roots. If someone planted corn, wheat or something next to it and watered the lake, they would cry to death. The thick poles with long roots would
If you don't grow up, you tell these farmers not to cry to death.
"Then do you want to clear these bushes?" Leonard said to the two old cowboys Thomas and Lawrence: "These places are sparsely covered with knee-high bushes, -.
Thomas smiled and said: "Since we are raising goats, there is no need to clean them up. When the time comes, we will get a few thousand goats and hire cowboys to put them away first, while you plant grass, so that there will be no delay."
Ju An also nodded after hearing Thomas' words.
Then Thomas used a pen to draw a long lake on the map, and then painted a line: "Then the lake will open like this. Then the cowboys on the ranch can live by the lake and build barns, stables and other facilities here."
, I guess there aren’t any fences around, so we need to put up a simple fence.” Then he turned to look at Ju An and asked, “Is it still a four-story wooden fence?”
Upon hearing this, Ju An quickly waved his hand and said, "It's just a simple fence for the time being." It's not like raising cattle is so luxurious. I don't know what the income from sheep is, and I don't live there myself. I don't care if it looks good or practical.
That’s it.
Thomas and Lawrence laughed after hearing this, and then carried Thomas and continued: "Then we will go with you in two days to have a look. Only when we get to the site will we know how many sheep are suitable for Dazha to raise first."
After hearing this, Ju An thought for a moment and said: "You guys go and take a look first. When the time comes, we will find a construction team in Kingman to start it first. I will ask Nien to follow the Arizona bureaucrats to apply for underground water pumping."
.I just came back a few days ago and I have to run out again. I haven’t even sat down at home to warm myself up, so I won’t go.
Lawrence smiled and said: "Then let's go and take a look. Let's go to Teddy Ranch's company this time and let them draw us a drawing of the lake. We will discuss it later."
When Ju An saw that there were too many things to do, he decided directly and said: "Don't draw any drawings of the area of the small lake." After saying that, he picked up a pen and drew a long oval shape on the drawing on the table.
Huan'er: "Just follow this drawing and dig. Calculate the area and dig five or six feet deep." Five or six feet is about one meter and a half, which is enough.
Thomas looked at the small lake that Ju An drew casually and said: "How to dig this? I don't know whether the terrain you drew is high or low, so you have to go through the surveying and mapping. The casual drawing is a bit too casual."
Speaking of the lake, Ju An remembered what Thomas said: "Then how did you dig the lake at Teddy Ranch?". This is a bad thing about Americans. Sometimes they don't know how to work around it.
When he was working in China, Ju An had already understood what his boss said. He patted his chest and promised his boss that he would complete the task. Being a boss in the United States is so much worse than in China. No one agreed with what he said.
This is really fatal.
"When the drawings produced by the construction company arrive at your place, can't you just take a look at them and say it's OK?" Thomas looked at Ju An and said with a smile.
Ju An scratched his head after hearing this: "Then let's stick to this this time. Just dig about ten acres and make sure there is a place to store the groundwater. For the rest, you and Lawrence should discuss it.
Give me another look when the time comes." In order not to show that he was completely throwing away his hand, Ju An finally added that sentence at the end.
Thomas and the three old men focused on the drawings and nodded after listening to Ju An's words: "Of course, we need to make a budget for the fence and construction, and you can take a look at it when the time comes."
Leonard said at this time: "The pasture is between these two valleys. When I went to see it, there was still a bit of wind. Do I need to plant some trees?" After speaking, he ticked the picture with his finger to indicate what he felt at that time.
The direction of the wind, and then looked at Ju An. How could Ju An understand this? He could only turn his head and look at Lawrence.
Lawrence nodded and said: "This is not a big problem. There are mountains on all sides and the wind is a little bit windy. It is not possible to blow too much. You can plant some, but you have to wait until the lake is dug. When the cowboys are in place, plant some."
Don't plant too much and take up the land for raising sheep." After saying that, he looked at Thomas and continued: "That's roughly what it's like."
Thomas thought for a moment and clicked a few points on the drawing with his hand. The big gate was the place to be considered. After a few seconds, the old man raised his head: "That's about it. Let's go back and think about anything to add."
, Do you want this drawing? If not, I will take it back and look at it."
After hearing this, Ju An quickly waved his hand and said: "Take it. If you still need it, I will ask the accountant to make a copy for me. Xingli has an electronic version of this drawing." What do I need this for? You two are so capable.
, take it all away. When the time comes, all you have to do is pay after reading the budget sign.
The three old men listened to Ju An's words, and Thomas rolled up the drawing and held it in his hand: "Then let's go back to the ranch first."
Ju An nodded and watched the three old men leave the house. When they returned to the study, they saw three cups of coffee and still didn't move. He thought with emotion, my friend, hundreds of thousands of dollars this year is really inspiring.
I praised myself hard in my heart, and then walked out of the study with a few cups of cold coffee with satisfaction. (To be continued)
