"A man who doesn't believe in love is the saddest."

"roll."

Bai Xiaoou smiled like a bastard. He is a bastard himself, and he likes to uncover Chen Mo's scars when he is idle: "Honestly, are you still thinking about the past?"

"Before, what happened?"

"Retirement marriage." Bai Xiaoou said with a chuckle, "Don't bully the young and poor, 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi. Brother, you did it."

"I... depend on it. Believe it or not, I will break up with you?" Chen Mo was speechless.

"The gesture of breaking up the relationship...is not good." Bai Xiaoou smiled and called Jennifer, and then flirted with Chen Mo.

Bai Xiaoou knew about Chen Mo.

Bai Xiaoou also received a phone invitation from Chen Mo, and even the wedding date was fixed at that time...

Life is far better than the dog blood in TV dramas.

Different life experiences develop a person's character, outlook on life, and values.

Chen Mo is really not as hypocritical as Bai Xiaoou thinks, but he just doesn't take love seriously... Besides, now that he is so rich, it would be nice to be a scumbag comfortably.

"Crap..."

Chen Mo turned on the music player on his mobile phone and connected it to Bluetooth...

"Red flowers are blooming in the sky on the hillside in the sunset (come here), and the beautiful Xiaoman (son) in the east is coming to Hey Hey, Yi'er Hey Hey, I saw the red flowers budding Hey Hey, the watery little bones..."

Bai Xiaoou still wanted to babble a few words, but when he heard the folk songs, dialects, ghosts... hard-core Shigao Divine Comedy, his expression instantly became brilliant: "Where did you find the song?"

"Chen Xiao pushed it to me, do you want it?" Chen Mo shook his head following the cheerful rhythm of the song
After waiting at the Golden Gate Bridge for a while, the two of them had sex in the car. When Jennifer came over, they went to the real estate agency in Sausalito...

In Sausalito's seaside community, the median property price is around 180 million, which means that most houses are within 200 million. The environment, location, and large villas are all expensive.There are also small western-style buildings on the first floor. The land deed area is within 150 square meters, and the construction area is about 100 square meters. If you can’t see the sea... the price of some is within [-] million.

The big villa, like Chen Mo's, can accommodate more than 400 million yuan, which is the top mansion in this community.

The intermediary found three houses for Bai Xiaoou, one with a listing price of 180 million, one with 195 million, and one with a price of 267 million.

The 267 million building is only 200 meters away from Chen Mo’s house. It is a two-story western-style building with an indoor area of ​​229 square meters.The sea cannot be seen on the first floor, which is blocked by a big tree, but the sea can be seen on the second floor... After a simple bargain, it was sold at a price of US$261 million...

……

Chen Mo only stayed in San Francisco for one night, and returned to River Valley Ranch early the next morning.

The newly purchased two pastures, Moro River Ranch and Belk Ranch, were officially renamed the River Valley Ranch Breeding Base...

In these two pastures, the cow dung piled up like a mountain, and it took more than ten days to clean it up.

The two ranches raise 3 to [-] head of livestock all year round, and the number of cattle is maintained at [-] head all year round.The manure accumulated for many years is close to [-] tons.

In the Snow Mountain Ranch, there is a fermentation tank for cow dung, and the fermented cow dung is directly pulled out and scattered in the fields and pasture areas, which is not enough.

Now River Valley Ranch, the 'farm area' is 4220 acres.Among them, the Dry Valley farm area has 2470 acres.Reservoir valley area, 1750 acres.

Less than 3 tons of manure can be digested after one deep plowing of the land.

The breeding scale of the River Valley Breeding Base will be larger in the future, but the environmental protection here is also stricter than that in Montana...

Small pastures that raise hundreds of cows may not need cow dung treatment equipment. If they raise one thousand, two thousand, or even more, cow dung treatment equipment is definitely needed.

Chen Mo went to the breeding area first, and Chen Chen followed John to learn how to plan the breeding base.

The breeding base must be kept clean and hygienic.A total of 1650 acres, at this stage it is planned to house 3000 cattle, and there is sufficient space budget, which can be expanded to 6000 cattle at any time.Basically, each cow is guaranteed to have 1 mu of land for activities...

In addition, 2000 sheep are raised, and sufficient space budget is left, which can be expanded to 8000 sheep in the future.Either reduce the flock and enlarge the herd, or reduce the flock and enlarge the herd, it doesn't matter...

Feeding area, activity area, sewage treatment area, office area, livestock physical examination area (vaccine station), etc.

"Boss, you are here." John was still modifying the design plan.

The current design plan was jointly discussed by John and Brett, and construction has already begun.In order to be more convenient, there is still a lot of room for improvement.

"Well, Brett should be back before Christmas. Has the cowpen over here been repaired?"

"It's been repaired. I'm doing the second disinfection... This is my revised plan. The main thing is to move the sewage treatment area to the east mountain stream... The original sewage treatment area is on the east side, close to the Moro River. It's very There is less heavy rain, but it is not that there will be no heavy rain. If you move to the east mountain stream, it will be fine even if it rains heavily."

"How much...how much will it cost?"

"The extra cost...about 170 million US dollars. The Moro River is a seasonal river, and the water is dry in summer. Because the original pastures accumulated a lot of manure, a large area of ​​groundwater in this area was polluted." There are rivers, and the groundwater level is not high. High, it is easy to cause pollution...

John went on to explain his plan: "The sewage treatment area will be built in the mountain stream to the west, investing in the construction of multiple large biogas digesters, and the sewage can be used for irrigation after anaerobic treatment. A factory area will be built to treat cow dung...most of the fresh cow dung After dehydration, drying, and fermentation in a greenhouse, it can be made into organic fertilizer for vineyards. This is a high-grade organic fertilizer, and the market price is 35-70 US dollars per ton. The Monterey Valley is not far from our ranch, and organic fertilizer can be sold for sale. To the Monterey Valley, excluding freight costs ... it should be around $45 per ton."

"Mr. Bright means that next year...the number of cattle raised in the breeding base will reach about 2000, and the number of sheep will exceed 1000. The entire breeding base can raise 6000 cattle and 8000 sheep in a saturated state. To ensure The pasture environment, sanitation in the cowshed area... especially in summer, the water consumption will exceed 1200 tons under full load."

"The construction of multiple large biogas digesters, together with a simple sewage treatment station, can ensure the year-round irrigation water in the breeding base area. If it is not treated, the perennial use of sewage irrigation will cause great damage to the land..."

Chen Mo has seen biogas digesters in other pastures. The circular soft-top biogas digesters range in diameter from more than ten meters to 30 to [-] meters. The underground part is two or three meters long and the ground part is five or six meters.

The 1 cubic biogas digester adopts the safest reinforced concrete structure main body, with a black soft roof. The cost of a biogas digester is about 80 yuan.

In addition, there are black-membrane biogas digesters and soft biogas digesters that are relatively cheap.It's just that it can't be built too big, and correspondingly, the cost is much cheaper.

"The cost of a biogas digester per cubic meter? The cheapest." Chen Mo looked at John.

"Using a cuboid, black-film soft-top biogas digester, this kind of biogas digester is cheap and the technology is mature. For the specific cost, I have to find a contractor... My original ranch built three biogas digesters of 3 cubic meters, each biogas digester The cost of the project, together with the supporting equipment and power station, is a total of 38 U.S. dollars."

"Okay. I'll give you a budget of 280 million yuan, and it will be done in one step. You can find a few more contractors and let them bid. Including biogas digesters, power stations, and sewage treatment systems."

"No problem..." John smiled sarcastically, showing an embarrassed expression: "There is one more thing."

"Say."

"The Moro River cuts off in summer. The groundwater table drops..."

"Isn't there a dam in the upper reaches of the valley?" Chen Mo frowned.The reservoir is not big, and there is a pumping station... These two pastures are fully maintained by the water in the reservoir in summer.The two pastures previously raised more than 2000 cattle and did not drain the reservoir...

"The water in the reservoir is natural water. The health of the cattle and sheep raised on the pasture was poor, which is also related to the water source. If you are raising Wagyu, you should also buy a set of water purification equipment. It doesn't cost much...even if it is a pure water equipment. , and the cost is about 30."

"Okay. Buy... buy pure water equipment."

The extra money has been spent, and Chen Mo doesn't care about the extra, just buy, buy, buy, that's it.
