Looking at it from a distance, Zhang Wu was a little unsure. He turned around and held the steering wheel with one hand and asked Zhang Chi: "Did we go to the wrong place?"
Zhang Chi was also muttering in his heart at this moment, because the house in front of him was really too big.
Melika's outdoor goods store is not located in the urban area of Los Angeles, but in a satellite town on the outskirts of the city. The place is so big that it is the first time for Zhang Chi to see such an outdoor goods store.
The entire store is made of wooden structure, about four to five meters high. From Zhang Chi's current perspective, it looks like a T-shape, with a pointed end pointing in his direction.
There is a large parking lot on both sides of the store, which can accommodate about a hundred cars. Currently, almost one-third of the parking lot is parked.
The area of the store is even larger. The area Zhang Chi sees now is almost thousands of square meters, similar to a large shopping mall in China.
"That's right, it's right here, oops!" Zhang Wu suddenly exclaimed.
"What are you doing, acting like an old woman?" Zhang Chi was so shocked that his eardrums hurt a little.
Zhang Wudao: "It's a loss, it's a loss. If I had known that this little girl was so rich, we shouldn't have asked for 7,000, at least 70,000!"
Zhang Chi looked at his cousin with a look that looked like a fool: "This is your only one deal as an agent. I won't use you again in the future. What the hell is this? You let me do it in a blink of an eye."
More than 60,000 yuan was lost."
Zhang Chi was joking. He himself knew that he couldn't get 70,000 yuan. If he really had 70,000 yuan, wouldn't he choose someone else?
Zhang Wudao: "Be careful next time, be careful next time."
Since it was a place, the two brothers drove the car into the parking lot, found a place to park, and then entered the supplies store.
As soon as you enter the door, you will see BIU~BIU everywhere! Long, short, big and small, they are all filling your eyes. Correspondingly, there is a huge billboard with big sales written on it!
Hey guys, buy a BIU~BIU! It’s like Chinese cabbage sold in supermarkets in China.
There were quite a few people inside, almost half of them with Asian faces, especially at the gun counter. Each store clerk had to take care of two or three people.
Looking at this stance, there are more people than the tower.
Zhang Wu stopped a little girl in work uniform and asked, "Is Melika in the store?"
Upon hearing this, the little girl immediately said: "You are looking for our manager? Oh, by the way, you are here to shoot an advertisement, right?"
"How do you know?" Zhang Wu asked with a smile when he saw how pretty the little girl was.
The little girl smiled and said: "I don't know, I just guessed."
In fact, the little girl wants to say, where are you two dressed like this in Los Angeles now? You can tell at a glance that you are from the country. However, she is at work now, so it is impossible to say this. It would be difficult to tell if she was outside.
Zhang Chi couldn't stand his cousin's insistence, so he opened his mouth and said to the little girl: "Yes, we are here to shoot a commercial. Please tell us how to find Melika."
The girl pointed out: "Go in that way to the office, and you can see Merika after entering."
After listening to the girl's words, Zhang Chi walked directly towards the office. After walking two steps, he saw that his cousin was still preparing to break up with the little girl, so he turned around and pulled him towards the office.
Just like that, Zhang Wu still asked the little girl for her phone number with a shy old face.
Sure enough, as the little girl said, when she arrived at the place, she saw Melika. At this moment, Melika was sitting behind the desk, discussing something with a man and a woman.
Zhang Chi saw the door and knocked lightly.
When Melika looked up, she saw Zhang Chi coming, so she waved the man and the woman away, and then she stood up and walked to the door.
"You guys are coming!"
"Well, when will it be filmed?"
Zhang Chi thought about finishing the filming as soon as possible. He still had things waiting for him at his ranch. If nothing else, he couldn't just have the heart to be a cowboy, but he couldn't do the work of a cowboy. Some things still need to be practiced.
Melika did not show Zhang Chi any politeness, and said directly: "Come with me, they are probably ready over there. You need to put on makeup first...".
When you take money from others, you have to be manipulated by others. Zhang Chi had nothing to say and followed Melika for about fifty meters before arriving at a quite large house.
This house is almost 300 square meters. I didn’t know what it was used for before, but now it has a background set up, a snow field, and a large green screen behind it. It seems that it is ready to be used to synthesize the background in post-production.
.
"The costumes and makeup artists have been prepared for you. You put on your makeup first. I want you to look like you did at the end of your last wilderness survival...".
Melika and Zhang Chi finished introducing the theme of this shooting, but asked Zhang Chi to enter the dressing room.
Zhang Chi didn't say much and walked in.
Inside was a middle-aged white man in his thirties. When he saw Zhang Chi coming in, he put down the pictorial in his hand and asked Zhang Chi, "Did you take the photo?"
Zhang Chi nodded.
The makeup artist didn't say much and motioned for Zhang Chi to sit down.
Zhang Chi sat in front of the makeup mirror, and then he discovered that on the wall next to the mirror was a photo of himself when he had just finished his life. He was unshaven at that time, and he looked like two different people compared to himself now.
Originally, Zhang Chi thought that putting on makeup would last long, but who knew that he would sit on the chair for more than half an hour, and when he got up, his legs and stomach were almost shaking.
The next step was filming. Zhang Chi followed one principle, that is, he did what others told him to do. The director asked him to grin, and Zhang Chi wore cold weather clothes, holding props in his hands and grinning like a fool.
Zhang Chi originally thought how long it would take to shoot this thing, but reality gave him a hard time. It took two full hours to shoot, but people said it was only half way through.
Tema drop!
Seven thousand yuan is really too little.
Zhang Chi muttered secretly in his heart.
But it wasn’t filming all the time. There would be a break in between. When it was time to take a break, Zhang Chi wanted to find his cousin again and found that this guy had gone somewhere. It was estimated that his agent had switched to
As a pick-up guy, given Zhang Chi's understanding of his cousin, he might just pick up the girl just now.
He didn't know anyone on set, and he had nothing to talk to the director and others. What's more, he still had a beard all over his face. This thing was really uncomfortable. No matter what the weather is like in Los Angeles now, you can go shirtless. Do you think?
It feels so uncomfortable to think of having a beard stuck to your face.
So Zhang Chi picked up a bench and sat under the air conditioner, took out his phone and started browsing information about the Mavericks.
I was just casually scrolling through it, but I saw a message that almost made Zhang Chi jump with joy.
Why?
One word is cheap!
There are 1,200 calves. The ratio of male to female is not specified. That is to say, there are males and females. The price is only 10,000 US dollars. Although this ranch is almost 500 kilometers away from Zhang Chi’s family’s ranch, but buying it
These calves are delivered to your doorstep!
At this moment, Zhang Chi suddenly felt like he had been hit by a pie falling from the sky.
Moreover, these calves are a special breed of cattle, much better than those small cross-bred cattle I bought.
These St. Grudy cattle are beef cattle breeds, a native beef cattle breed in the United States. There are still quite a lot of people raising them, and the economic effects are also good.
Zhang Chi did not understand why these calves were sold by the ranch, and not only were the prices low, but they could also be delivered to their doorsteps.
Just when Zhang Chi was looking at his phone and almost laughing out loud, Melika's voice came from next to him.
"What are you looking at, so happy?"
It's in Chinese.
As soon as she came over, Melika saw Zhang Chi sitting on the chair, as happy as a child weighing more than 200 pounds, with his mouth almost grinning to the back of his head.
Melika has been in contact with Zhang Chi, and she feels that Zhang Chi is not the kind of person who can't hide things. He must be doing something good now.
Zhang Chi had no intention of answering her.
But Melika glanced at his mobile phone and made a rough guess.
"Are you interested in these cattle?" Melika asked.
Zhang Chi didn't want to hide anything from others, so he nodded: "Yeah."
"This is not a good choice," Melika said directly.
"Why?" Zhang Chi asked curiously.
Melika wasn't originally such a busy person, but when she saw Zhang Chi acting like this, she opened her mouth and said, "Why do big ranches eliminate these cows? It's not because it's not cost-effective to keep them. Cows like this grow older every year."
A lot of pastures will be eliminated, and if they are disposed of, they will have to spend more money. If they can buy it, even if shipping costs are included, it will be cheaper than if they send it away for disposal."
Melika's explanation was very general, but Zhang Chi still understood it.
For one reason or another, large ranches no longer want to raise these calves to adulthood, so these culled calves are put on the market, of course at very low prices.
If someone buys it, that would be great. If no one buys the big ranch, these calves will have to be sent to a processing plant. Sending them off is not just a matter of sending them away, but they also have to pay for the processing fees.
Once the calves are born, they are even willing to give these calves away for free, so that they can save a lot of money.
As for why small ranches don’t want these cows, the reason is even simpler. Large ranches can’t handle it. How can small ranches want these cows? Small ranchers would rather spend a little more money to buy good cows. Only in this way can they guarantee
There is profit when selling.
Some of these culled calves are because they are short and cannot reach the average level, and some are because their digestive systems are a bit weak, that is, they eat a lot but don’t grow meat. Feeding such cattle is of no use. On the contrary, the more you feed them, the more they eat.
The more you lose.
Whether it is a large ranch or a small ranch, the purpose is to make a profit. There is no way to make money with such a calf, so naturally no one is willing to take over it. Not to mention the price, sometimes no one wants it if it is given away for free.
"It looks pretty good to me." Zhang Chi had no intention of giving up. With the gourd in hand, his waist straightened up instantly.
Melika looked at Zhang Chi and said, "Then you can decide your own affairs."
When Melika took a look at Zhang Chi's attitude, she stopped trying to persuade him. No amount of words could stop the damn ghost. This man was going to die, so what could she do? He wasn't even a friend. She felt that she
To say this is already the most benevolent and righteous thing to say.
"If you really want it, talk to him about the price, and maybe you can get it for half the price." After saying this, Merica turned around and walked away.
