I was quite sleepy at first, but who would have thought that I wouldn't feel sleepy as soon as I lay down on the bed. I can't help it. A rough pig can't eat fine chaff. Zhang Chi usually sleeps on a hard bed, but suddenly he feels like sleeping on a soft bed like this at his eldest brother's house.
It seems like the body is not exerting any effort.
I couldn't sleep, so I didn't turn on the light. I opened the curtains and took advantage of the night outside to see clearly in the room.
The scenery outside is really beautiful. Countless lights illuminate the center of Los Angeles as if it were daytime. The cars coming and going below are like small matchboxes in Zhang Chi's sight at this moment, running continuously on the road.
Raising your eyes, you can see the flashing lights on the tops of tall buildings, twinkling and almost blending into the stars in the sky.
Today's eldest brother's house really shocked Zhang Chi. In the past, he had only seen such houses in movies and TV series. He originally thought that such a life was far away from him, but now his eldest brother has lived in such a house.
The house made Zhang Chi feel that he was very close to such a life.
Two people who came out of the same small place, the eldest brother has already lived such a life, while he is still running for life.
No one doesn't like to enjoy, and Zhang Chi can't escape.
I thought in my heart that one day I would have to live such a life. I felt that it was like living in this way, and that my journey to this world was not in vain.
Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Zhang Chi admired the night view that ordinary people in Los Angeles could not appreciate. His mind was like thousands of horses galloping, and his thoughts were up and down.
After watching for who knows how long, Zhang Chi lay back on the bed and prepared to sleep.
Who knows, just when I was feeling sleepy, a message came on my phone.
Boom!
Zhang Chi took the phone and clicked on the screen to see who had sent him a message so late at night. When he saw it, he didn't know what to do.
"Brother, I did a good business today. There is a song that is very good. I spent 7,000 yuan to buy it. Don't worry, this song will be sold at a high price. I'll let you invest in it and wait for the song to be sold.
Then you just wait to collect the money...".
Seeing the message Zhang Wuge sent to him, Zhang Chi's heart went cold to the soles of his feet. To spend 7,000 yuan to buy a song, this person is going crazy!
Zhang Chi looked up at the ceiling above his head, feeling as if his seven thousand yuan had grown wings and flown away from his eyes while humming a tune.
To be honest, even if Zhang Wu spent 7,000 yuan to pick up a girl, Zhang Chi would not feel this way if he had a good time. If he spent 7,000 yuan to buy a song, it would be better to go to a bar to buy a song.
A pretty girl drinks some wine and then takes her to a hotel to have a good time. She can also have a good time. What can I do if I buy a song?
red?
Red your sister’s red!
How many songs can famous but unknown songwriters in the United States release in a day now? How many of them can be popular? If you buy a song at random, you can become famous. Then you can buy a song that’s just a piece of cake. Why not just buy lottery tickets? Now
There are hundreds of millions in the prize pool. Isn’t winning better than buying a song?
Zhang Chi was really in no mood to reply to his cousin, so he turned off his phone and continued to sleep.
The next day, when Zhang Chi woke up, Zhang Wen had already gone to work, and left a small note on the table for Zhang Chi: Breakfast is on the table, if it is cold, warm it up.
Zhang Chi opened the flip-up plate and found a bowl of soy milk, two small fried dough sticks that looked like grandchildren. The two together were not even as long as a palm, and two slices of toasted bread.
slices, with some lettuce and bacon on the side.
Regardless of whether it was cold or not, Zhang Chi sat down directly and cleared everything on the table, then washed the plates and other things, wiped them dry and put them in the cabinet.
He took out a piece of paper and left a message on the table, saying that he was going back.
Zhang Chi didn't have much luggage, just a backpack with two changes of clothes, so it only took a minute or two to pack it up.
When he got downstairs, Zhang Chi walked along the route to the nearest rental car. When he arrived at the rental car store, he successfully rented a pickup truck. He got in the pickup truck and drove to the address given by the salesman.
When they arrived at the intersection, Zhang Chi was a little confused because the map showed one road, but two small dirt roads appeared in front of him. For a while, Zhang Chi didn't know which road to take.
I had to take out my cell phone and call this big brother.
"Have you seen the mountain? There's a big cross on it. You can go any way, just keep walking and you'll get there."
The eldest brother was very enthusiastic on the phone. He told Zhang Chi the direction of his home and told Zhang Chi to just go directly to the mountain.
So Zhang Chi, who hung up the phone, chose the nearest road and drove up.
After driving in for about ten minutes, I saw a large, shabby iron gate.
The door was ajar, and a bearded man in his forties stood at the door with a smile.
"Zhang Chi?"
"Brother Xiao Ma?" Zhang Chi asked with a smile and stretched out his head.
Ma Ge is not Chow Yun-fat's Ma Ge, but his surname is Ma. He opened a blog online and also played short videos. His name was Ma Ge's Ranch Life, so Zhang Chi and other netizens called him Ma Ge.
.
Little Ma has a bit of a cowboy vibe, his body is a bit dirty, and he is dressed in stain-resistant colors. He wears a plaid shirt, jeans, and riding boots. If you don't look at his face, you would think he is a white cowboy.
"Come in, come in, the weather is quite hot, isn't it? Is it cool down there now?" Brother Ma led Zhang Chi and drove the car through the gate.
As soon as he entered the yard, Zhang Chi was surprised by the layout of Brother Xiaoma's place, because as soon as he entered the gate, there was a row of brand-new small excavators parked in the yard, almost a dozen of them, which was quite spectacular.
"Are these all yours?" Zhang Chi jumped out of the car and said to Brother Ma.
Xiao Ma said: "It's all mine. Not only here, but also on that mountain top, it's mine too."
Brother Xiao Ma said proudly.
"The place is really not small," Zhang Chi praised.
Although this location is a suburb of Los Angeles, and it is still a suburb of the suburbs, he must be a wealthy person to own such a large piece of land here. The place is probably smaller than Zhang Chi's ranch, but its value is estimated to be that of Zhuo Chi's ranch.
Many times that, because even in the suburbs, this is California, and an acre of pasture costs an average of ten thousand pieces, and no matter how cheap it is, it only costs four to five thousand and one acres.
"It's okay. By the way, how is your ranch over there? Have you bought all the cows?" Brother Xiao Ma had chatted with Zhang Chi and knew that Zhang Chi also bought a ranch, so he asked casually.
"I've only bought twenty of them so far, and I'm looking at some more," Zhang Chi replied with a smile.
"Oh, let's go, I'll take you to see the drone," Xiao Ma said.
Brother Xiaoma also runs a ranch, but his ranch mainly raises not cattle and sheep, but a lot of them, including alpacas, geese, chickens, etc. In short, his ranch has more than ten species of animals alone.
many.
He does not rely on ranching to make a living. His main income comes from overseas shopping. But unlike others, he sells some Chinese products to the United States, such as those small excavators made in China that I just saw. In short, they are big
Big or small, they do whatever they want to make money.
Everyone is shopping from the United States to the United States, but he is doing the opposite, shopping from the country to the United States.
Taking Zhang Chi to the warehouse, Zhang Chi was shocked again. He saw that the large warehouse of several hundred square meters was full of piles. He took a glance and found that in addition to some machinery, there were also clothes and even clothes.
Some plastic flowers for festivals and so on.
"You have a lot of stuff here," Zhang Chi asked.
Brother Xiao Ma said: "They are all worthless. For example, those clothes are the last order for return, and they are sold in boxes. I take them back when they are cheap, and then sell them when someone needs them, over and over again."
Make a difference...come on, come over and see which one you like."
Brother Xiao Ma pointed at a row of agricultural drones on the ground.
The bodies are all about the same size, but the plastic jars carried under the abdomen are different. There are several models, large and small.
"The only difference is the jar?" Zhang Chi asked.
Brother Xiaoma smiled and said: "How is that possible? How much money can a plastic jar cost? The largest one can hold fifty kilograms of pesticides at a time, the smaller one can hold thirty kilograms, and the smaller one can still hold ten kilograms.
, but ten kilograms is fine. It's fine for domestic use, but not suitable here. Who doesn't have dozens of acres of land? This will kill you. Your pasture is relatively large, fifty kilograms, I guess.
It’s not suitable if it’s too small…”.
Zhang Chi nodded after hearing this: "What's the price?"
Brother Ma smiled and said a price.
"Can it be lower?" Zhang Chi thought and started talking about lowering the price.
But Xiao Ma shook his head: "You also know the price of such things here in the United States now, and what the price is here. They are all Chinese and I won't cheat you. The price is the end. Don't worry about the quality, they are all very good.
Yes, our domestic products are not bad. If you have any problems with them, come to me. Even if I run away, I won’t be able to escape from my waistband. Otherwise, I can build a small thing for you."
The price given by Xiao Ma is indeed good. As for buying these from American merchants here in the United States, the price is enough to buy two or three here.
Otherwise, Zhang Chi would not have gone so far to buy an agricultural drone from Brother Xiao Ma.
"Okay, then bring me one." Zhang Chi didn't want to sit here and go home later.
"Then I'll get you a new one. It's easy to install. You can install it yourself when you go back."
Brother Ma was about to take a new one off the shelf for Zhang Chi, when the phone rang.
After answering the phone, Xiao Ma said to Zhang Chi: "Brother, wait a minute, I'm going to send these Mexicans away first."
"It's okay, you go about your business first."
Zhang Chi was quite curious, so he followed Brother Ma out of the warehouse.
A few old men drove two pickup trucks at the gate.
Brother Xiao Ma went up to say hello enthusiastically, and then followed them to drive the two excavators in the yard into the pickup truck.
After a few polite words were exchanged between the two parties, the old Mo people took the excavator and left.
"Business is pretty good," Zhang Chi said with a smile.
Brother Xiao Ma said: "Our machinery is cheap and very resistant to manufacturing. These old Mo guys can't make much money from one project. It's not economical to buy American machinery again. Just buy a machine from me and follow it."
A group of old people bought from me, and they are all repeat customers..."
Back at the warehouse, Brother Xiao Ma gave Zhang Chi a try on the new machine. There was no problem with starting anything, and the spraying was also smooth.
After putting it back into the box, Brother Ma put it on the back of Zhang Chi's pickup truck.
"What can I give you?"
Brother Ma thought for a moment, and then said: "How about this? If you have a pasture, I will give you something affordable. How about giving you three little lambs?"
Zhang Chi originally thought he would give him some parts or something, but who would have thought that he would actually give him three lambs.
"How do I transport this thing back?" Zhang Chi was a little confused.
But Brother Xiaoma said: "Just say it's a pet and just check it in at the airport. Don't be afraid. It's not difficult. I've done this once and it doesn't cost much. Come on, pick the sheep with me."
