Zhang Chi had heard about the business that Yan Zhou was talking about, and even Brother Xiao Wu had thought about starting this business before. However, he was confused about domestic matters. A child who grew up in the United States was really embarrassed.
I couldn't take the twists and turns in China, so I had to give up.
To put it bluntly, it is to work as a tour group, organize some domestic people who want to see the outside world, and go to the ranch to have fun.
There is no new content. There are many such tour groups in California, New York and San Francisco.
Now it's just that Yanzhou is planning to bring tourist groups here, hoping to combine snow appreciation in winter, summer escape, and ranch life.
From this point of view, there is still some new meaning.
However, Zhang Chi is not optimistic because there are too many tourists and the homogeneity is too severe.
Fortunately, Zhang Chi didn't do it. Yan Zhou wanted to do it, so he could only give some suggestions.
Yan Zhou listened and laughed and said: "I also know that it is not easy to do, but to put it clearly, easy business is not for those of us who have no power or connections. I don't want to earn too much. First of all,
Explore the road, if the business is good, expand, if the business is not good, the loss points will be limited."
"What do you mean?" Zhang Chi asked.
Yan Zhou said: "I want you to find a suitable ranch for me. Of course, it would be best if your ranch can do this business. If not, I will settle for the next best thing and choose a ranch to cooperate with."
Zhang Chi thought for a moment and said: "My ranch definitely doesn't have this project. I'm going to start a cheese factory right away. How can I have the manpower to handle these things? If you are looking for a ranch to cooperate, I suggest you look for a Chinese company, not a big one."
Yes, you don’t have much bargaining power on large ranches, and the service and environment on small ranches are generally not very good.”
"How many companies can you recommend in this area?" Yan Zhou took advantage of the situation and put the question to Zhang Chi.
Zhang Chi felt that he could not drink his tea in vain, so he said: "I will ask for you, but you have to discuss the specific matters yourself."
"That's natural," Yan Zhou said.
After a few more words, the two ended their chat.
Zhang Chi directly called Serriol.
It was a bit strange for Serior to receive a call from Zhang Chi, because Zhang Chi usually called his son Miller, not him.
Zhang Chi talked about his own affairs here.
Serriol thought for a moment and said, "Approximately how many people are there?"
Zhang Chi said: "I really don't know this. I'll ask later."
Serriol said: "Don't ask. If there are dozens of people, the Walter family's ranch can accept it. If there are more people, about seventy or eighty people, then the Beni family's ranch can accommodate it. You can give me the specific situation."
You have to let your friends talk to the two families."
"That's natural. I'm just introducing it here. They will discuss the specific things. Whether it succeeds or not has nothing to do with me in terms of money," Zhang Chi said with a smile.
Serriol said: "If you want to find professional services, you have to go to the ranch...".
"No no no! There are some Chinese who have no money. The rich ones are all in places like Los Angeles. Those who come to us have no money. Hahaha," Zhang Chi said jokingly.
Nowadays, when these Americans mention Chinese people, their immediate reaction is two words: rich. But in the past, when Chinese people were mentioned, Americans had the impression that they could not afford to eat.
For example, in the past, when American children didn't eat, some people would tell you to eat right away. Do you know that Chinese children still don't have enough to eat?
Now in the thirty years of Hedong and thirty years of Hexi, Americans think that all Chinese people are rich, but on the contrary, the lives of children in many American families have fallen below the poverty line.
"It's very rich to be able to travel abroad," Serriol said with a smile.
What Serriol said is quite true. Although Seriol is very rich, the money is all on the books and is a fixed asset. They don't make much money in a year. To be honest, it's just a white-collar income.
Although his family has thousands of acres of pasture, he can only raise a few hundred cattle. In addition to the results, the cost of living has increased in recent years, but the purchase price of cattle has remained unchanged, so the life of a rancher is like Wang Xiaoer.
During the New Year, every year is not as good as the previous one.
Traveling abroad is already a luxury for these small ranchers and farmers.
Zhang Chi laughed twice. He was not very interested in traveling or anything like that. After getting the news from Serriol, Zhang Chi contacted the two families and asked them what they thought.
The two families were naturally very happy when they heard that Zhang Chi wanted to introduce customers to them, so Zhang Chi gave them Yan Zhou's contact information, and with their permission, gave Yan Zhou their contact information.
.
That's it, this matter is settled on Zhang Chi's side. As for how they talk about it in the future and what comes out of it, that's everyone else's business.
After figuring this out and fiddling with it for a while, it was already dark.
When Zhang Chi got home, he always felt that there was something he hadn't done today, and he couldn't remember what it was that he was thinking about.
Zhang Chi forgot about eating the donkey again, so the life of the unlucky donkey at home was wasted.
Things at home were like this, and the day came for Miller to catch the horse.
Originally, if Zhang Chi went by himself, all the food and drinks would be arranged by De Miller, that is, Miller would eat and drink at Miller's expense, but Zhang Chi brought a group of people there, so Miller couldn't pay for these things.
Already.
Zhang Chi still needs this face, so he brings everything to eat and drink. The self-heating hot pot can fool Americans, but it can fool people like my sister, so the things Zhang Chi brings here are hard goods.
, without adding any moisture.
This time, my sister and brother-in-law went with me. Xiaoxiao did not go with us. He stayed at home with his great-grandmother and grandma.
There are also Zhang Chi's grandfather and father. Originally, grandfather didn't want to go, but with Zhang Youpeng's repeated encouragement, he wanted to see the cows and sheep in the wind and grass.
"You have to bring so many things, don't you just want to spend one night there?"
Zhang Juan asked as she watched her brother put two large bags of food in the back of the pickup truck, all of which were food.
Before Zhang Chi could speak, he answered: "I usually don't eat snacks."
Zhang Chi ignored this sentence. If you tell a woman, a normal woman, that she doesn't eat snacks, the dog won't believe it.
“Not just snacks!”
After Zhang Chi said this, he continued to load the car.
In addition to his family, Cannon and Kevin were also there. As for why it wasn't one of Brian and Zarick, it was because they had to work shifts, so we couldn't leave all the young people at home.
If something happens and the backbone is suddenly lost, some veterans should be left at home.
Now Cannon and Kevin, with the help of Brian and others, are loading the horses.
Zhang Chi's pickup truck was loaded with supplies, and Melika's violent pickup truck was naturally used as a tractor-trailer. There were several horses in the trailer. In addition to those of Zhang Chi, Cannon and others, there were also mounts chosen by Zhang Chi's family.
There are seven or eight horses in total, and the trailer's horsepower is not enough to really pull it.
Zhang Chi placed a small barbecue rack in the bed of the car.
Miao Guifang helped get some vegetables and other things and put them in the car. While putting them away, she muttered: "I don't know what to do to join in the fun. I want to go and see if someone is catching a horse...".
The old lady muttered to herself, and even if Zhang Juan and Sun Yanping heard it, they pretended not to have heard it. If the elders muttered a few words, could they just talk back?
If you can't fight back, then you can only pretend not to hear.
Zhang Juan and Sun Yanping were both very excited. For them, this was not a matter of catching horses at all, but a camping activity.
Apart from anything else, living in a tent in the wild is an extraordinary experience for ordinary young people in small towns. Who would just take a tent and go outside.
I'm in a hurry today.
"Have you brought all the tents?"
Melika took the list, and everything was correct.
Hearing his wife's words, Zhang Chi reached out and touched the tent that had been set up and replied: "Cheke!"
"Rainproof cloth".
"Chek!"
…
"Medicine Kit".
"Chek".
Finally, Zhang Chi's hand patted the small medical kit.
"It's over," Melika said here, closing the paper in her hand.
Zhang Chi said: "There is no shortage of anything. Sister, brother-in-law, please get in the car."
"Are we in the same car as you?" Zhang Juan asked.
Zhang Chi said: "No, you can be different from me, then you can choose to share a car with Cannon and Kevin."
When Sun Yanping heard this, he immediately said: "Forget it, I can only be a mute along the way in the car with them. Let's ride with you."
After saying that, Sun Yanping opened the back door of the car and got in.
When Zhang Juan saw her husband getting up, she also opened the car door and shouted at her husband: "Go in a little bit, there is no wink at all."
Sun Yanping quickly moved his position to let his wife get in the car.
Zhang Chi saw the two people getting into the car and said to his grandmother, mother and daughter-in-law: "Let's go."
"Go quickly, don't make people wait too long." Miao Guifang smiled and waved to her grandson.
Zhang Chi got in the car, started the car and headed to the entrance of the ranch.
Seeing Zhang Chi's car set off, Cannon followed in Melika's large SUV and pulled the carriage.
Less than a mile out of the town, Zhang Chi's and Miller's cars merged. In addition to Miller, there was another car, and in the car were two hired cowboys.
Whether it was a Miller's or a Cowboy's car, there was a carriage attached to it, and it didn't matter that it was filled with their own horses.
Miller's pickup truck is a big one, and the carriage it tows is also big. It can hold about seven or eight horses. Of course, if it is squeezed, it can hold more.
Led by Miller, Zhang Chi's car hung at the end of the team, and the team formed a long snake formation on the empty road.
The convoy did not pass through Folsom, but headed north halfway.
After leaving the mountainous area, you can see the endless prairie as far as the eye can see. A straight road extends to the end of the sight, and the end of the road seems to be rising into the sky.
Zhang Juan and Sun Yanping, both of whom were not in the mood to talk at the moment, kept taking pictures of the surrounding scenery with their respective devices. While taking pictures, they kept praising the magnificence of the scenery in the western United States.
For Zhang Chi, he has become accustomed to all this. Although he also feels that the scenery is magnificent, he does not have the same feeling of soul being cleansed as when Zhang Juan and Sun Yanping met for the first time.
