American Ranch

Chapter 8 Billings, Montana

I once dreamed of walking across the world with a sword and seeing the prosperity of the world. The young heart is always a little frivolous. Now you are home all over the world, the girl who once made you feel bad...

"Di li li li di li li li den da, Di li li li di li li li da da, Di li li li li di li li li den da..."

Washington State, over the Coast Mountains and into the Great Plains.

The pickup truck played music, and Chen Mo pressed the window. When it was time to hum, Chen Mo and Bai Xiaoou hummed together.

It was noon, the sun was overhead, and the sky was high and the earth was wide.The straight and spacious road has no end in sight, and there is a piece of green on both sides of the road...

After passing the large farm area, we came to the pasture area.

The green pasture is growing vigorously. Groups of black cattle and white sheep are scattered and scattered quickly, grazing leisurely on the grassland.

Leaving the coastal cities, you can see several small towns within a few hours of driving...

"The Rocky Mountains are ahead." Bai Xiaoou suddenly turned off the music and said.

In front of the hills, the mountains are getting farther and higher, and the mountains are faintly visible.

"Montana is a state with a vast land and few people. It is known as the land of the sky and the land of the sky. Some people call Montana the land of wealth."

"Montana has been selected as the place with the best air quality in the United States, and the environment is also very good. The vast land is sparsely populated, coupled with the state government's policies, Montana has changed a lot in recent years... As for how big it is , you can compare the satellite maps of the past three years."

"There are a lot of ranches in Montana, especially 50-150-hectare ranches. My company has encircled 16 hectares of land in Huangshi County, and plans to develop 1500 ranches. It is mainly for the rich to vacation..."

"16 hectares, how big is it?" Chen Mo was a little confused,
"Well... 240 million mu. Walking around the planning area is 155 kilometers..."

Chen Mo opened his mouth, a little shocked: "Such a large area, only a lot of money is invested in the land."

"The land cost is 0." Bai Xiaoou shrugged: "The big pastoral area is in the southwest mountainous area of ​​Billings City, close to the no-man's land of Yellowstone Park. The land is desolate and worthless, and the local government even gave us money to cooperate with us...Of course , these initial construction investment subsidies given by the local government. In the future, we will have to pay taxes to the government when it is completed and sold... At the same time, it also attracts rich people to settle here.”

"After the ranch launched by your company is completed, how much will a 100-hectare ranch cost?"

"It starts at US$50. The specific price depends on the location and the selected supporting building facilities. We have sold more than 295 ranches. Some people ask for Wright Prairie-style country houses and different decorations. They also have to choose horse stables and Happy Valley. Planning these... As long as it is not a ranch with a particularly good location, the ranch construction facilities are more valuable than the land. The most expensive ranch is worth 235 million US dollars, with an area of ​​500 hectares. At this price, you can buy an area of ​​more than [-] hectares in a remote place. Fertile land with water rights. Building facilities won't be great..."

Bai Xiaoou told Chen Mo the customs of Montana, as well as some basic knowledge about pastures and farms.

Pastures don't have to be used for grazing, and farms don't have to be used to grow grains and vegetables.If you plan to operate a ranch or farm, you must first clearly determine the real usable area of ​​the land and how much water rights you have.

Ranches and farms can be commodities in Montana. As an investment, they can be commodities with the function of preserving value.

There are many rich people who invest in ranches in Montana. There are hundreds of thousands of acres of ranches with a few horses. Just ask a few people to watch them...

Investing in pastures is also very knowledgeable. The most important consideration is not whether the land is fertile or not, but the future development plan of the local government and the scenery.

For example, the pasture near the Rekeqi Snow Mountain has appreciated nearly ten times in five years, and it is difficult to buy even if you have money.For example, there are pastures and farms in the east and northeast, and cabbage is expensive, but no one cares about it. $10 can buy a 100-acre farm, including on-farm buildings, machinery, but no one wants it.The location is too remote, there is no city to be seen in a radius of tens of hundreds of kilometers, the land is not flat enough and barren, nothing but desolation is still desolate...

"Are you going to buy a ranch or a farm?"

"Is there any difference?" Chen Mo shrugged, the car had already entered the Rocky Mountains, and Chen Mo saw a small city...

Before coming to the United States, Chen Mo learned about Montana on the Internet, and said on the Internet that Montana has beautiful scenery.What I see now is really good... But Chen Mo prefers to live in a place with a large population, such as California, New York State, etc.Montana, that is, Chen Mo's buddies are here...

"Farms are usually on the plains and pastures are on the hills... Actually, there is no difference. It's just a matter of irrigation water rights..."

It took more than ten hours to drive from Seattle to Billings, Montana, and it was midnight when I arrived.

Billings was the first city in Montana with a population of more than [-], and it is also the most populous and busiest city in Montana.

After ten o'clock in the evening, the orange street lights in the small city looked dim, and there was no one on the street, not even a homeless person.

Bai Xiaoou and the others live in Billings Hill, a rich area.Zhang Kun prepared dinner at home, saw Bai Xiaoou coming back in the car, and came out to greet...

"Why did you come back so late?"

"More than 1000 kilometers, my God, it's already driving very fast." Bai Xiaoou was very tired after driving for more than ten hours, so he got out of the car and stretched.

Chen Mo looked into the living room treacherously, and took a look at the big house: "You two live in such a big house? There are no two blonde girls hiding."

Zhang Kun viciously raised a middle finger: "Damn, when I first arrived in Myrikel, I was thinking about living a corrupt life. I don't want to, I don't want to..." Zhang Kun raised his middle finger and put it back in a serious manner, and immediately smiled: "I'll have an appointment tomorrow A big ocean horse comes out to play disco, if you see it right, you can take it directly to the public... the little girls here are very unrestrained."

Bai Xiaoou was speechless: "You two bosses are not young anymore, don't think about playing around, the serious thing is to find a woman who can live together."

Zhang Kun looked contemptuous: "You are just like a gentleman, you are crazy than anyone else in the nightclub."

Bai Xiaoou blinked funnyly: "Stay true to your heart, stick to your heart... Don't teach Chen Mo, an upstart, to go astray. There is an old saying that it is easy to learn from being bad and difficult to learn from being good."

"Fake squid." Chen Mo spoke the most fluent English.

The three of them walked into the living room with a smile.Today is Zhang Kun cooking, fried steak... There are also decanters, wine glasses, and a candle lamp on the table.

Seeing these Chen Mo's sudden chills, he looked at the two of them with a strange expression: "You two live together, is this how you usually eat?"

Bai Xiaoou also saw the problem, guessed what Chen Mo was thinking, and his cheeks twitched: "Usually we seldom eat together... Candlelight dinner, the atmosphere is a bit ambiguous!"

"Old Chen must have sorted it out on the first day he came here, and the atmosphere must also be picked up...well, these are the takeaways I ordered, and the candle lights are delivered." I didn't think it was just the candle lights on the table. ... After lighting it, the atmosphere was suddenly ambiguous.

"Both gays..." Chen Mo smiled and sat down.

"Three gays..." Bai Xiaoou poured a glass of red wine for Chen Mo: "Whenever we can gather four gays to live together, it will be beautiful."

Chen Mo shook his head with a smile, and raised his glass: "There is a chance. Do one..."

"Damn, animal, this is Malkasson, good wine, you have to drink it slowly."

"Pretentious..."
