Chapter 21 Pies are poisonous?

Looking from a distance, Zhang Wu was a little uncertain, turned his head and held the steering wheel with one hand and asked Zhang Chi, "Did we go to the wrong place?"

Zhang Chi is also muttering in his heart at this moment, because the house in front of him is really too big.

Melika's outdoor goods store is not located in downtown Los Angeles, but in a satellite town on the outskirts of the city. The place is so big that it is the first time Zhang Chi has seen such an outdoor goods store.

The entire store is made of wood, about four or five meters high, and looks like a T-shape from Zhang Chi's current perspective, with a pointed point pointing in his direction.

There is a large parking lot on both sides of the store, which can accommodate a hundred or so cars, and now almost one-third of the parking lot is parked.

The store occupies a larger area. The part that Zhang Chi sees now is almost a thousand square meters, which is like a large domestic shopping mall.

"That's right, it's here, oops!" Zhang Wu exclaimed suddenly.

"What are you doing, you look like an old woman?" Zhang Chi's eardrums hurt a little from his shock.

Zhang Wudao: "It's a loss, it's a loss, if we knew this little girl is so rich, we shouldn't ask for seven thousand, at least seventy thousand!"

Zhang Chi looked at his cousin with a look of looking at a fool: "That's all you have as an agent, and I won't use you again in the future. Lost more than [-] yuan."

Zhang Chi was joking. He also knew that he couldn't get [-] yuan. If there were [-] yuan, it wouldn't be good to choose someone else.

Zhang Wudao: "Be careful next time, be careful next time."

Since it was the place, the two brothers drove the car into the parking lot, found a place to stop, and then agreed to enter the supply store.

As soon as you enter the door, you will see BIU~BIU everywhere! Long and short, big and small, it is full of stuffing your eyes, and there is a huge billboard corresponding to it, which says big sale!
Good guy, buy a BIU~BIU! It's like Chinese cabbage sold in domestic supermarkets.

There are quite a few people inside, almost half of them are Asian faces, especially at the gun counter, where each shop assistant has to take care of two or three people.

Look at this stance, there are more people than towers.

Zhang Wu stopped a little girl in a work uniform, and opened his mouth to ask, "Is Melika in the store?"

The little girl immediately said, "Are you looking for our manager? Oh, by the way, you are here to shoot commercials, right?"

"How do you know?" Zhang Wu immediately asked with a smile when he saw that the little girl was quite pretty.

The little girl smiled and said, "I don't know, I can guess."

In fact, the little girl wants to say, where are you two dressed like this in Los Angeles now? You can tell that you are from the country at a glance, but she is at work now, so it is impossible to say this. It would be difficult to say it outside.

Zhang Chi couldn't stand his cousin's chattering, so he opened his mouth and said to the little girl, "Yes, we are here to shoot commercials, please tell us how to find Melika."

The girl stretched out her finger and said, "Going in from there is the office, and you can see Melika after entering."

After hearing the girl's words, Zhang Chi raised his feet and walked towards the office. After walking two steps, he saw that his cousin was about to break up with the little girl, so he turned around and dragged him towards the office.

Just like that, Zhang Wu asked the little girl for her phone number with a shy old face.

Sure enough, as the little girl said, when I arrived at the place, I saw Melika. At this moment, Melika was sitting behind the desk, discussing something with a man and a woman.

Zhang Chi saw the door and knocked lightly.

As soon as Melika looked up and saw Zhang Chi coming, she waved a man and a woman to leave, while she stood up and walked to the door.

"You guys are here!"

"Well, when will it be filmed?"

Zhang Chi thought about finishing the filming early and getting things done early. There was still something waiting for him at his ranch. Not to mention anything else, he couldn't just have the heart of being a cowboy, but he couldn't do the work of a cowboy.Some things still have to be practiced.

Melika was not polite to Zhang Chi, and said directly: "Come with me, I think it's ready over there, you need to put on some makeup first...".

Taking people's money means being at the mercy of others, so Zhang Chi had nothing to say, so he followed Melika for about fifty meters and arrived at a rather big house.

This house is about [-] square meters. I didn’t know what it was used for before, but now the background has been arranged inside, a snowy field, and a big green screen behind it. It seems that it is going to be synthesized in the background. .

"The costume and makeup artist are all ready for you, you put on your makeup first, I want your appearance at the end of the last survival in the wild...".

Melika and Zhang Chi finished introducing the theme of this shooting, but let Zhang Chi enter the dressing room.

Zhang Chi didn't say much, he raised his foot and walked in.

Inside was a middle-aged Caucasian man in his thirties. When he saw Zhang Chi coming in, he put down the pictorial in his hand and asked Zhang Chi, "It was filmed?"

Zhang Chi nodded.

The makeup artist didn't say much, and motioned Zhang Chi to sit down.

Zhang Chi sat in front of the makeup mirror, only to find that on the wall next to the mirror was a photo of himself when he had just survived. At that time, he had a stubble, and compared with himself now, he looked like two people.

Originally, Zhang Chi thought how long it would take to put on makeup, but who knew that he sat on the chair for more than half an hour, and when he got up, his legs and stomach were almost trembling.

The next thing is to shoot, Zhang Chi is based on one principle, that is, what people say and how he does it, the director makes him grin, and Zhang Chi is wearing a cold-proof suit, holding props in his hand and grinning silly.

Originally Zhang Chi thought how long it would take to shoot this thing, but the reality gave him a big mouth again, and it took two hours to shoot, and people said it was only half over.

Tema drops!
Seven thousand yuan is really too little.

Zhang Chi muttered to himself.

But it's not all the time, there will be a break in the middle. When it's time for the break, Zhang Chi wants to find his cousin again, and finds that this kid has gone somewhere. It is estimated that his agent has changed to Picking up girls, based on Zhang Chi's understanding of his cousin, he might just go for the girl just now.

He didn't know anyone at the scene, and he didn't have much to chat with people like the director. What's more, he still has a beard stuck on his face. I feel so uncomfortable with a beard glued to my face.

So Zhang Chi took a bench and sat under the air conditioner, took out his mobile phone and began to scan information about Mavericks.

Originally, it was just such a casual swipe, who would have thought that seeing a piece of news would almost make Zhang Chi jump up happily.

why?
One word cheap!

There are [-] calves, the ratio of male and female is not specified, that is, there are males and females, and the price is only [-] US dollars. Although this ranch is more than [-] kilometers away from Zhang Chi’s ranch, it is worth buying. These Mavericks are delivered to your door!

Now Zhang Chi felt like being hit by a pie falling from the sky.

Moreover, these calves are still a special breed of cattle, which are much better than those small miscellaneous cattle that I bought.

These St. Grudy cattle are beef cattle breeds, a local beef cattle breed in the United States, and there are quite a lot of people raising them, and the economic effect is also good.

Zhang Chi didn't understand why these calves were sold by the ranch, and not only the price was low, but they could also be delivered to the door.

Just when Zhang Chi was looking at the phone and was about to laugh out loud, Melika's voice came from beside him.

"What are you looking at, so happy?"

It is Chinese.

As soon as she came over, Melika saw Zhang Chi sitting on the chair, happy like a child weighing more than two hundred pounds, his mouth was almost grinning to the back of his head.

Melika has been in contact with Zhang Chi, and she feels that Zhang Chi is not the kind of person who can't hide things. There must be something good about such a happy way now.

Zhang Chi didn't intend to answer her.

But Melika glanced at his phone and guessed something.

"Are you interested in this batch of cattle?" Melika asked.

Zhang Chi didn't want to hide it from others, so he nodded: "Yeah."

"This is not a good choice," Melika said directly.

"Why?" Zhang Chi asked curiously.

Melika was not a person with so many affairs, but she saw Zhang Chi like this, so she opened her mouth and said, "Why do these cattle need to be eliminated in the big ranch? It's not because it's not cost-effective to raise them anymore. Cattle like this grow up every year. A lot of pastures have to be eliminated. If it is processed, they will spend more money. If they can be bought, even if it includes shipping costs, it will be cheaper than sending them to be disposed of.”

Melika's explanation was very general, but Zhang Chi could still hear it.

For one reason or another, the ranch doesn't want to raise them to adulthood anymore, so these culled calves are put on the market, of course at a very low price.

If someone buys it, that would be great. If no one buys the ranch, the calves will have to be sent to the processing factory. Sending them doesn’t mean that it’s all over, and you have to pay them for processing fees. As soon as they come out, they even prefer to give away these calves for nothing, so that they can save a lot of money.

As for why small ranches don’t want these cattle, the reason is even simpler. Large ranches can’t handle it. How can small ranches want these cattle? Small ranch owners would rather spend a little more money and buy good cattle. There is a profit when it is sold.

Some of these calves were eliminated because they were short and could not reach the average level, and some were because their digestive system was not good enough, that is to say, they ate a lot but did not grow meat. It is useless to feed such calves, but the more you feed them The more you lose.

Whether it is a large ranch or a small ranch, they are all for profit. Such a calf can't make any money at all, so naturally no one is willing to take it over, let alone the price, and sometimes no one wants to give it away for free.

"I look pretty good." Zhang Chi didn't intend to give up, holding the gourd in his hand, his waist straightened up.

Melika looked at Zhang Chi and said, "Then you can decide for yourself."

Melika saw Zhang Chi's attitude, and she didn't want to persuade herself. No amount of words can stop the damned ghost. If this person is going to die, what can she do? She can't even be considered a friend. She feels that she To say a word is already benevolent.

"If you really want it, talk to him about the price, maybe you can get half of the price." After Melika finished speaking, she turned her head and left.
