Zhang Chi can't eat all the Nel family's pasture in one go. You must know that the Nel family's pasture has more than 2,000 acres. Even if it costs more than 3,000 US dollars at the base price, it will still cost 7 million US dollars.
It's seven million, not seven hundred yuan!
Now if Zhang Chi wants to collect enough money, he will have to use all the ranches, including the ranches in Colorado, to bring in so much money.
Yes, the Colorado ranch must cost more than a few million dollars, but the bank is not a welfare institution. It is impossible for them to tell you that this thing is worth 600 yuan and ask you to borrow 600 yuan. That is impossible.
If you can borrow 400 yuan for your 600 yuan item, that's pretty good.
If it were in the past, Melika would definitely be able to sell the goods, because she has the endorsement of her family behind her, but this is no longer the case. If you want to get the money quickly, the value of it will have to shrink.
what to do?!
Cold!
Zhang Chi and Melika discussed it and then started to run to the bank with their belongings.
The first stop was a nearby bank. The interest rate offered here was a bit high, around 4.00 points. Melika was a little dissatisfied, but she didn't refuse. Then she went to banks in California, which Melika had dealt with before.
Cross paths.
The interest rates there are similar.
In the end, the couple gritted their teeth and decided that if the deal was concluded, they would mortgage the two pastures at a nearby bank.
With the financing matter settled, the couple waited for the auction.
If you want to participate in the auction, you have to pay a sum of money. This money proves that you have the ability to pay. Don't pay if you don't pay if you take the photo. Then the money will not be given. If you take the photo, pay on time.
, then the money will be returned to you in the end.
Of course, if you don't take the photo, the money will still be returned to you in the end.
Generally speaking, business credit is very important here. It won’t be said that even if you paid the money and the photo was not completed, the money will not be paid back to you in the end.
Zhang Chi had never even heard of such a thing.
As long as it is a regular auction house, even a smaller one, it will not do such a thing, so there is no need to worry about paying the money.
After paying the money and waiting for the auction, Zhang Chi and his wife returned to normal life.
Zhang Chi has been raising the white-browed monkey sent by Jennifer for several days.
They just feed some food every day, and have no time to take care of it at other times. As for Cannon and Brian, they are even less interested. When Zhang Chi and Melika are not at home, they just feed some food and add some water.
Zhang Chi and Melika returned home. They went to the bank again today to confirm the amount of money that could be loaned out. This gave the couple the confidence to make a bid.
The two ranches were loaned out a total of $8.5 million at an interest rate of 4.3.
The interest rate has risen a lot compared to the past few months, but there is nothing that can be done about it. The couple has not opened a bank. If the interest rate rises, they need it urgently, so they have to bite the bullet and get a loan.
After returning to the house, Melika was already very tired. Zhang Chi sent Melika back to the house to rest, while he sat on the sofa in the living room downstairs, drinking tea and thinking about things.
Suddenly, he may be saddled with millions of dollars in debt, which forces Zhang Chi to think of ways to fill the hole. Zhang Chi is a small farmer with a strong mindset. Most businessmen are not afraid of debts, but Zhang Chi is not.
, even if you owe a debt to a bank, you have to think about paying it back immediately.
As the old saying goes, debt-free and light-hearted, Zhang Chi is such a person.
What is his biggest means of repaying money now? Of course it is to get cattle. Apart from getting cattle, he has other ways, but none of these methods are illegal, so in the end he has to choose to get cattle, and this time to get cattle
, the quantity must not be lower than last time.
Thinking about getting the cow, Zhang Chi was a little confused for a while.
People have secrets in their hearts, and they are always afraid that others will find out. Zhang Chi is also like this. He is afraid that if he brings back thousands of cows, he will attract the attention of many people, and it will be troublesome to find him.
But this is actually Zhang Chi's overthinking. As long as he pays taxes honestly, who will check what Zhang Chi does? Is it possible that the violent agencies in the United States have nothing to do? Or does everyone think Zhang Chi has a magical power?
gourd?
Isn't this nonsense?
But as the owner of the gourd, Zhang Chi would naturally have this kind of worry, which is also human nature.
I wanted to do it, but I was a little hesitant. Zhang Chi couldn't make up his mind for a while.
Feeling a little annoyed, Zhang Chi went out for a walk.
winter!
Zhang Chi was walking when he suddenly felt something falling in front of him. When he lowered his head and looked down, he found that it was a gray thing, long, with something that looked like handprints on it.
Just when Zhang Chi was wondering what this thing was in front of him, a similar thing fell in front of Zhang Chi.
Zhang Chi looked in the direction where the object was thrown and found that the monkey was holding on to the railings of the cage and looking at him.
Squeak!
Chirp!
The monkey looks happy now.
After looking at the monkey and then at the thing in front of him, Zhang Chi understood instantly: the monkey was throwing something at him, and the thing he was throwing was very unhygienic. It was the monkey's own poop!
Zhang Chi stared at the monkey, but the monkey was not afraid. Instead, it raised its teeth at Zhang Chi and hissed threateningly.
Zhang Chi looked at the monkey coldly.
Unexpectedly, the monkey was so irritated that it squeaked, pressed its body against the cage, and stretched out its hand from the gap, apparently wanting to scratch Zhang Chi.
Seeing that the monkey was so domineering, Zhang Chi walked over and stopped about half a meter away from the monkey. From this position, it was impossible for the monkey to catch him.
Squeak!
Hiss!
The monkey showed great anger.
Zhang Chi looked at the monkey. Now he finally understood why his silly little sister-in-law sent the monkey here.
Obviously, that little girl has no ability to train animals. Whether it is a dog or a monkey, they are all gregarious animals, and the most striking feature of gregarious animals is that they have class.
Whether it is a dog or a monkey, this kind of obedience to the upper class is the foundation of the entire species society. You only need to let them know that your level is higher than it, then you can make them honest, otherwise they will be the same as they are now.
The monkey obviously wanted to show its authority to Zhang Chi, that is, it was trying to prove that it was of a higher class than Zhang Chi.
To put it more elegantly, the monkey is preparing to discipline Zhang Chi at this moment.
I want Zhang Chi to know that its level is above Zhang Chi, and Zhang Chi must obey its orders, otherwise it will throw things or scratch people.
After figuring it out, Zhang Chi squatted down and continued to look at the monkey.
Zhang Chi heard that the elders in his village had talked about monkey trainers before. Monkey training was a business a few decades ago. Monkey trainers would come to perform at every big gathering in the town, so the older generation had seen it.
Monkey training, some people even know the basics of monkey training.
Of course, it could be wrong. It's possible that the older generation is just bragging in front of the children.
But regardless of whether it's true or not, Zhang Chi is ready to give it a try. If it's not true, he won't be punished to death anyway. Even if he is punished to death, Zhang Chi probably won't care.
then.
Suddenly, Zhang Chihao reached out without warning and quickly grabbed the monkey's outstretched arm.
Pulled out a rope from the gourd, wrapped it around the monkey's hand several times, tied it with a live buckle, and then tied the other end of the rope directly to the single leg of the gallery table.
Now the monkey feels uncomfortable. Imagine that you keep reaching for something from the fence. You keep stretching like this. It won't take long before you can't stand it anymore.
Zhang Chi didn't care. After tying it up, he stood up, turned around and left.
Almost half an hour later, Melika woke up, walked downstairs, and saw Zhang Chi sitting on the sofa in the living room in a daze.
"Why don't you go get some sleep?" Melika asked.
Zhang Chi shook his head: "Forget it, I won't sleep anymore. By the way, go and untie the rope from the monkey's arm."
Melika was stunned for a moment and asked, "What?"
Zhang Chi said with a smile: "I just tied up the monkey's arm, and now...".
After looking at his watch, Zhang Chi said: "It's been almost half an hour, go and untie the rope."
Melika was a little confused.
Zhang Chi continued to explain: "I tied it to make it afraid of me. I want you to understand that I want you to pretend to be the good guy. After doing this a few times, the monkey will be afraid of me, and at the same time, the monkey will also rely on you."
As soon as she heard this, Melika understood who she was, a businesswoman with a monkey spirit, how could she not know what Zhang Chi was planning to do.
When it comes to being naughty, animals are simply incomparable to humans.
So Merica went under the east corridor, and she saw the monkey stretched out his arms, and the arms were tied up with a rope, and the other end of the rope was tied to one leg of the courtyard table.
Melika whispered to the monkey and then freed the monkey's arm from the rope.
The monkey was very unconvinced and wanted to scratch Melika.
However, Melika was already prepared and retracted her hand. She did not tie the rope to the monkey again. She said a few words to the monkey with a kind face, turned around and went back to the house.
As soon as she returned to the house, Melika told Zhang Chi what had just happened.
When Zhang Chi heard this, he immediately got up and came to the cage where the monkey was kept.
When the monkey saw Zhang Chi coming, he first shrank back into the cage, and then started to snap his teeth at Zhang Chi.
Naturally, Zhang Chi would not be polite to it. He came here just to deal with the monkey, so Zhang Chi looked at the monkey cage, walked to the tool room, and took out a hook.
Returning to the monkey cage, Zhang Chi directly reached into the cage with a hook, hooked the monkey over in one move, stretched out his other hand, grabbed the monkey's arm, and tied the monkey again.
With the monkey tied up, Zhang Chi didn't say much. He glanced at the monkey and returned to the house with a smile.
After almost another half hour and forty minutes, Merica came over and untied the monkey.
Now the monkey became a lot more honest, and he gritted his teeth at Merika. Merika got some food for the monkey, and then returned to the house.
This time Zhang Chi didn't tie up the monkey immediately, not because he didn't want to, but because he was busy and didn't care about the monkey for a while.
