Chapter 107 Farm Paradise
"Mr. Zhang, you go slowly."

The bank manager sent Zhang Chi out the door, followed Zhang Chi to the parking lot with a smile on his face, and helped Zhang Chi open the door.

Zhang Chi couldn't help but praised in his heart: Asians are better at serving, and idiots like Americans, how could they have such awareness.

After cashing the check, Zhang Chi paid back all the money he borrowed in advance, deposited the remaining money in the bank, and then withdrew a little more.

When the bank loaned money to Zhang Chi, it was estimated that it would take Zhang Chi at least three or four years to repay the money. Who knew that it was only a year before Zhang Chi repaid the money, not only the repayment, He also saved hundreds of thousands of knives on his side.

This made the bank's experience suddenly feel that he had a very wealthy client on his side.

There are as many banks in the United States, and many of them are middle-class. As for Fuguo, Morgan also has business here, but Zhang Chi didn’t get a loan from them, and they didn’t take him seriously, so what about him? Ken used his hot face to stick to other people's cold ass.

"Mr. Zhang, if you have any financial service needs, don't forget about us. Our bank will definitely provide you with the best service."

After the manager finished speaking, he gently helped Zhang Chi close the car door.

"I will! Goodbye." After Zhang Chi finished speaking, he started the car and slowly exited the parking lot.

All the money was returned, and Zhang Chi was happy for a few days, but then another worry came, how to spend this sum of money made Zhang Chi a little worried.

Why spend it? You are not allowed to pay taxes on such a high profit. The power of the IRS is not something that we Chinese can think about. If you evade taxes, you will definitely look good after you are caught.

Although the agricultural tax in this state is relatively low, but you earn so much at once, hundreds of thousands of empty money come out, and the income tax and other messes are added together, and at least 30% of you will be taken away. How can Zhang Chi pay for this? 30%, if he wants to, he doesn't want to pay a penny.

But it won’t work if you don’t take it out, if you don’t take it out, it’s okay, you have to change it to punishment!
Back at the ranch, Zhang Chi handed over the withdrawn money to Cannon as his bonus.

This made Cannon so happy again, he kept thanking Zhang Chi.

Zhang Chi’s elbows are turned inward. He has made money. If you concentrate on working for him like Cannon, those who work hard will naturally get benefits. The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers. It's so unreasonable for you to work hard and think about not giving benefits and sending people to death.

How to spend the rest of the money?
Buying cattle is for sure, but it is a bad idea to buy cattle at this time. Now the price of live cattle is in the early 15s. Buying cattle at this time is at least [-]% more expensive than buying cattle at the beginning of spring.

If you don't buy cattle, what do you buy?To buy a ranch, this amount of money is not enough, not even the down payment. The last time I bought a ranch, I took advantage of it, but how can it be cheap every day?
If you want to buy a ranch again, you have to go at the market price. The price is about [-] per acre. Zhang Chi's money is enough for how many acres, and a hundred or so acres will be gone.

If it is in the surrounding area, Zhang Chi will also need a hundred-odd-acre ranch. Now there is no pasture for sale in the surrounding area. Zhang Chi is not enough to worry about buying a hundred-mu pasture dozens of miles away.

The ranch is not working, so you have to think about something else.

Apart from the ranch, only agricultural machinery is left. Zhang Chi pondered for a while. A tractor is definitely necessary. In addition to the tractor, it seems necessary to buy a watering truck. Although the helicopter for spraying pesticides is good, But the water tank is really too small. A [-]-liter water tank sprays more than [-] acres of land. Zhang Chi has suffered a lot.

In addition to watering vehicles, it seems that it would be nice to have a lawn mower that can be matched with tractors.

While thinking about this in his heart, he lived a leisurely life. Now there are only [-] cows left in the ranch. Cannon is really more than enough to take care of these cows by himself, and he doesn't need Zhang Chi's help at all.

Besides, Cannon, who just got the money, worked harder.

Haven't made up my mind yet, the festival is getting closer day by day.

What holiday?
halloween.

This festival is considered a big festival in the United States, about the same as our Mid-Autumn Festival.As for Christmas, it's almost like our Spring Festival.

Halloween is very lively, and every family has to dress up. Children are the happiest at this time. They can dress up as various monsters and goblins, and then go around asking for candies with small pumpkins.

Anyway, Zhang Chi doesn't have much to do now, and it happens to be a festival, so let's celebrate it.

The entire town of Amber has also had a fat year this year, and everyone has earned more than in previous years, so the festive atmosphere is naturally stronger than in previous years.

Zhang Chi decided to have a good time, and everyone decided to have a good time, so those who knew each other naturally got together.

Now in the small town of Amber, Zhang Chi has a pretty good relationship with Nell, Burris and Seriol's family, so sometimes everyone will get together, not necessarily all, sometimes a family or two are guests. of.

For example, when it comes to buying pumpkins, several companies are ready to act together.

The farms near the small town of Amber don’t grow pumpkins, so to buy pumpkins, you have to drive to a farm east of Folsom, about [-] minutes’ drive from the small town of Amber.

Others belong to a family, and there is only one person in Zhang Chi's family, so Zhang Chi is considered a family by himself.

An appointment was made at ten o'clock in the morning, and everyone gathered at the intersection of the town, and Zhang Chi drove the pickup to the place on time.

When Zhang Chi arrived at the place, he found that he was the first to arrive. He had no choice but to park the car on the side of the road and wait.

Ten minutes later, several families came one after another. The reason for being late is also easy to understand. It is either a child or a woman. In short, it is a matter for an old man to take the whole family out, so it is impossible to be on time.

"George, I'm sorry, it's a bit late." Miller parked the car next to Zhang Chi's car, and smiled wryly at Zhang Chi.

Zhang Chi didn't care, and opened his mouth and said: "It's okay, everyone is here, let's go?"

This is for Burris.

Burris nodded: "Then let's go."

Just as he opened the car door and wanted to get in the car, Burris turned to Zhang Chi and said, "Your compatriot is very polite."

fellow?

Zhang Chi couldn't figure it out, where did his compatriots come from, Zhang Chi understood when he changed his mind, Boris must be talking about his new neighbor, that is, the rich man who bought the ranch next door to him~!

"He's not my compatriot," Zhang Chi said with a smile.

Anyone who does not admit that he is Chinese, Zhang Chi will not be considered a compatriot.

Burris was a little confused, and asked curiously: "Isn't he from Henggang, isn't Henggang from China?"

"You're right. He's from there, but he's not Chinese. Some ghostly things live there, but they're not Chinese," Zhang Chi said.

Miller asked: "No, he can speak Chinese."

"The one who speaks Chinese may also be the Japanese ambushing among the Chinese," Zhang Chi said.

These words directly confused a group of foreigners.

This is the sad thing about my new neighbor. All foreigners think he is Chinese, but he himself thinks he is not.

Just like these people used to go abroad with passports from this city, saying that they were British, but the customs did not recognize them, and they thought that people from the colonies were not worthy of being British.

These days, Zhang Chi also knows that his neighbors are very active in Amber Town. He invites this one today or that one tomorrow, trying to please the farmers and ranchers here.

But Zhang Chi understands that the old saying is good, no matter how good a dog is, no one will treat him as a human being!
This neighbor of theirs is actually a dog licking family. They may think that they will be able to look up to others if they bow their heads to others. In fact, they don't know that in the eyes of others, his family is a rich man. Not a rancher or a farmer.

Even if you are a good cowboy, you can integrate into the town of Amber, but you only have money, and in their eyes you are just a rich Chinese.

Nell and the others knew as soon as they heard that George in front of him didn't like his new neighbor.

But everyone didn't care, and they were not in the mood to inquire about the twists and turns. The neighbor was a wealthy neighbor, and George was a very good friend, that's all.

When everyone was here, everyone drove to the farm.

When they arrived at the gate of the farm, Zhang Chi and others were shocked by the excitement here. A large open space at the entrance of the farm was full of cars parked, and there were parents with children everywhere, and the little ones were playing and yelling. Yes, very unhappy.

The little guys like Harris couldn't sit still when they saw the excitement, and they got out of the car and went to play.

It is not the first time for Zhang Chi to come to the farm to buy pumpkins. He knows that the farm will launch many activities at this time, one is to attract tourists, and the other is to sell its own agricultural products.

To put it simply and popularly, it is the farm at this time, not only the farm but also the playground.

Parents with children can participate in many parent-child activities here. Of course, the happiest thing is the children. A group of children gather together, and each one is a small perpetual motion machine full of wind-ups, which never stops for a moment.

Nell and the others dragged their families along, so naturally they went to play with the children, while Zhang Chi wandered around here alone.

Seeing a hot dog stand not far away, Zhang Chi went over to get a hot dog for himself, and walked around while eating.

The business of the stall was good, and there was still a line in front of Zhang Chi. There were about a dozen people in front of Zhang Chi. Zhang Chi waited slowly. When it was his turn, he bought a hot dog and held it in his hand. He looked around while eating. Take a look around and join in the fun.

Walking around, a game attracted Zhang Chi, what game?Race pigs!
Yes, you heard that right, it's a pig race, not a horse race or something, it's a pig race, a serious pig.

A track made of hay bales is about twenty meters long and two or three meters wide inside. This is the track for the little pigs. There are a group of people standing outside the surrounding hay bales. Enthusiastic audience.

The piglets were not too big, about ten or twenty catties, and they were hugged by several women one by one, humming and chirping non-stop, kicking their short legs to get down.

A person with a trumpet in the middle is shouting at the children around: who will be the first, and whoever guesses correctly will get a photo of holding a pig...

The blah blah is very lively.

While eating a hot dog, Zhang Chi moved to the side of the track.
