War Photographer's Notebook

Chapter 351 Requirements Before Talking About Business

Diego took off a string of blood-stained pig ears from the horse, and said with a weary look, "A dozen wild boars ran in from there before dawn this morning, and they seemed to know the way, all of them Ran into the feed warehouse, and two others almost broke into the cattle pen, and even the baby carriage you left at the door was smashed."

"Sorry Victor"

Makar looked at the three of Wei Ran apologetically, "Go to the house with Jessica first, I have to fix the barbed wire first."

"Makar, why don't you let us help?"

Sui Sui, who has been helping Wei Ran with translation since getting off the car, suggested in Russian that Wei Ran could understand with a look of excitement.

"This"

Makar looked at Wei Ran, who immediately nodded cheerfully, "For you, it's work, for us, it's just for fun."

Makar thought for a while, and after Jessica carried their son out of the car, he said, "Then I won't be polite, we really need people here."

Speaking of this, Makar said something in English to Jessica who was holding the child, and the latter immediately walked into the two-story wooden house, and soon took out three pairs of leather gloves and gave them to Wei Ransan man, and then put a pump-action shotgun in the car.

Taking advantage of this time, Makar and the cowboy named Diego, with the help of Wei Ran, removed the oil drums from the cargo bed of the pickup truck, and then installed several bundles of barbed wire and a large number of wooden stakes on the truck .

When the fully loaded pickup truck pulled the crowd and drove into the oak forest behind Diego on horseback, Wei Ran, who was still sitting in the co-pilot seat, asked curiously, "Markar, how many people are there for such a big farm? "

"of course not"

While observing the surroundings, Makar explained, "There are relatively few jobs in winter, so only we and Diego's family are enough. When the weather is warmer, we will hire some cowboys to help graze the cattle depending on the situation."

"No wonder..." Wei Ran suddenly realized that such a large farm would be exhausted if it relied on them alone.

The two didn't chat for a long time at all. Diego, who was riding a horse in the front, had already stopped. When everyone got out of the car, they immediately saw that the barbed wire fence not far away was about ten meters long and had fallen down.

And not far away, there was a wild boar lying under an oak tree, which had not had time to remove the traps from its front legs.

In addition, there is an old man who looks like 60 years old and a fat woman who looks like [-] years old, who are digging a pit for burying wooden piles.

However, looking at the large and small stones mixed in the soil they have dug out, it is clear that the work of digging a hole is definitely not easy.

And behind these two people, there is a little girl who seems to be eleven or twelve years old at most, holding a shotgun with a scope, sitting on the top of a big red pickup truck, holding it with one hand. A binoculars larger than his face, vigilantly observing the surrounding sparse oak forest.

"On the roof is Diego's daughter Blanca"

While moving things out of the car, Makar introduced, "The ones who dug the hole are Diego's wife and father. But they only know Spanish, and they don't speak English very well."

Simply waving to the other party was regarded as a greeting. Wei Ran put on his gloves and helped Makar and Diego start to carry the barbed wire and wooden stakes. However, Sui Sui, who had proposed to help at the beginning, picked up the camera and looked around with interest. I pressed the shutter again and again for the scenery.

As for Katenka, who is even more lazy, the girl took out the pump-action shotgun in the carriage without even saying hello, and after skillfully inspecting the chamber, she asked with a smile, "Is there any gun around here?" Wild boar coming?"

Makar glanced at Katenka, and after a little hesitation, he did not let him put down the shotgun, but explained, "Maybe there will be, and those wild boars are rampaging like tanks. In addition, the gun uses Slugs have a lot of recoil, so you'd better be careful."

"Don't worry," Katenka said as he was already loaded with a bullet.

Ignoring the two girls who were more lazy than the other, Wei Ran helped the other party lift the things down, picked up the shovel and joined the ranks of digging the pit.

What surprised the three of them was that they were still busy digging holes here. In the oak forest opposite the barbed wire, there was already a group of about a dozen wild boars circling around. Looking at them like that, it was obvious that I have plans to come over for a visit.

"Makar, are all the wild boars here so arrogant?" Sui Sui hurriedly took a picture of the group of wild boars, then quickly hid behind Katenka who was holding a gun.

"no way"

Makar said helplessly, "Our neighbor is a rich man who speculates in stocks in New York. His farm is at least twice the size of ours, but that rich man with a mind full of shit just uses this place as a hunting ground and An occasional vacation spot. Now the almost deserted farm next door is like a breeding ground for wild boars and hares.”

"Is there any way to solve this?" Wei Ran asked in surprise.

"Private land is sacrosanct"

Makar said angrily, "That rich man has a good lawyer. This summer, the cowboys on another farm just shot and killed a wild boar on their farm through the barbed wire, and they were entangled by that shit-eating lawyer. It took more than half a year, and finally the compensation was almost [-] U.S. dollars before it was settled."

"It's really a free country in dire straits," Sui Sui, who was listening to the story, blatantly joked in Chinese that only Wei Ran could understand.

"Then there's nothing you can do?" Katenka, who was holding a shotgun, couldn't help asking.

"There's no good way." Makar shook his head, "We can only pray that the bastard failed to invest in stocks and jumped off the building, and then we can change to a good neighbor with a brain."

"I think it's actually a good thing." Sui Sui moved closer to Wei Ran, and continued to speak in Chinese, "There are fools helping to breed prey, and the only difference here is some tourists and a few money counters of good enough quality."

"Will those fat sheep you raise come here to play?" Wei Ran asked curiously.

“Just hunting is definitely not enough”

After thinking for a moment, Sui Sui's eyes lit up, "Or we can give them some tactical training that is not practical, as we did in Inta, um. How about the so-called American tactical training? Or my dad's boss, That I or C that Mr. Alexander used to practice?"

"IPSC" Wei Ran had to remind, "The laws of the United States may not necessarily allow it"

"Then find a way to get them to allow it!"

Sui Sui said confidently, "There is no rush for this kind of thing, but I am going to talk to Makar now. If the other party has no objection, I will give him the cash?"

"Give it!"

Wei Ran said without any psychological burden, his mission this time was not to help Gorman's son dig a hole and repair the barbed wire fence, and handing over the $[-] to the other party was one of the main tasks. As for Sui Sui's plan to He is not worried at all about whether there will be risks in handing over the money to the other party.

Taking a step back, if Makar really intends to take money and not do anything, it will only be his father's money that was cheated, but Sui Sui can learn a lesson by taking advantage of the loss.If Makar didn't have any crooked thoughts at the time, it would be even more profitable.

Of course, Wei Ran will not stop the business that is sure to make money here and there without losing money. Even if this Makar is really trustworthy, it is not impossible for him to spend some extra money to invest in it.

Seeing that Wei Ran agreed, Suisui, who had been fishing just now, immediately handed over the camera to Wei Ran, cleared his throat solemnly, and then stopped Makar who was struggling with the barbed wire.

"What's wrong?" Makar asked in confusion.

"I have a business I want to talk to you about." Sui Sui subconsciously exuded the aura of a strong woman that Wei Ran had seen on her aunt Zhou Shujin several times.

"Do business with me?"

Makar didn't understand, so he looked at the smiling Wei Ran, and saw that the other party didn't seem to be joking, so he couldn't help asking curiously, "What business?"

"How about a business worth at least $[-] in cash? Are you interested?" Sui Sui's tone became more and more confident at this time.

"Sixty thousand dollars? Are you kidding me?"

Makar looked at Sui Sui suspiciously. If what the other party said was true and there was a business worth [-] US dollars, it would be as good as a black female president falling from the sky.

"Today is not April Fool's Day, why am I joking?"

When Sui Sui said this, she took out a thick wad of dollars from her bag and patted them into the other party's hand, "This is [-] dollars, as long as you are willing to talk to me about the next deal, no matter the cost No, it's all yours."

Makar looked at the cash in his hand with rounded eyes, and after a brief moment of stupefaction, he said excitedly, "Talk! Of course I am willing to talk! Aurora, what do you want to talk about?"

"How about going back to the lake first?" Sui Sui said as if deliberately making things difficult for the other party, "Also, I need at least four freshly captured adult hares, preferably alive."

"It's okay to die, but it's better not to shoot with a shotgun, try to be as fresh as possible, don't die for a long time, and don't hurt your head." Wei Ran, who had already guessed what Sui Sui was about to do, stood helplessly aside Help reminded.

"No problem! Do you have any other requirements?" Makar put the wad of cash into his pocket while speaking, and then helped Sui Sui open the car door.

"Do you want anything else?" Sui Sui turned to Wei Ran and asked in a low voice.

"Four rabbits should be enough to eat." Wei Ran muttered and couldn't help asking, "Why don't you wait until the barbed wire is repaired?"

"Maybe he won't bother to fix the barbed wire after the talk is over"

After Sui Sui finished speaking, she patted the handbag that Wei Ran handed him before, and said in awe, "And the feeling of spending money as Party A's father is so cool! When he repairs the barbed wire fence, I will There is no chance to buy a business opportunity with [-] U.S. dollars so richly."

"Crazy" Wei Ran shook his head dumbfounded, and dragged him into the compartment of the pickup truck.
