pasture leisure

Chapter 358
Zhang Chi felt a little uncomfortable, muttering something like a small amount is not human, put the money in his pocket and drove home honestly.

On the second night, Zhang Chi still had to come over to deliver the milk, no matter how little the money was, it was still money, so I had to throw away the milk too.

So, when people should bow their heads, they should bow their heads. There is nothing embarrassing about it. Even if you are not used to it at the beginning, don’t be afraid, society will make you get used to it.

Let’s put aside those who are used to it or not, it’s time for Nell’s ranch auction, and Zhang Chi and Melika have to go there.

In the morning, after the couple finished their meal, they took a rest and drove towards Nell's ranch.

When I arrived at the gate of the ranch, I found that the gate was open. Looking in through the gate, I found that Nell’s house was covered with a red carpet in front, and there were some tables on both sides. There were some food on the table. Far away, there are a few guys in tall chef hats who are busy.

Zhang Chi and his wife drove in. Before entering the gate a few steps, they were stopped by a white man in a suit with five people and six people.

"Please register, both of you," the man said politely to Zhang Chi.

"George Zhang, this is my wife, Melika Zhang," Zhang Chi said.

Hearing what Zhang Chi said, the man scratched the paper in the folder with his finger, and quickly found the names in Zhang Chi's and Meili's arms.

So the man said to Zhang Chi and his wife: "Welcome to both of you, I hope you two have good luck today."

After speaking, he made a gesture of please, signaling Zhang Chi and his wife to drive in the car.

"Thank you!"

Zhang Chi kicked the accelerator, and the car drove into Nell's ranch.

Within [-] or [-] meters, a waiter came over, who looked like a parking boy.

Zhang Chi and Melika got out of the car, and Zhang Chi handed over the car keys to the parking boy, along with a few dollars in tips.

The younger brother thanked him, took Zhang Chi's car key, and drove the car aside.

Zhang Chi glanced at the parking place, and thought to himself: These rich Americans are really good at pretending. What brand of plastic, they are all pretending to be ugly. Fortunately, there are no half a million people walking around here. Otherwise, I don't know what it looks like.

Now I see that these cars are not very good, many of them are old-fashioned, such as Bentley, Daluo, etc., I have not seen a single one.

But don't think that these cars are worthless. Picking one up at random will cost more than a big Bentley. Many cars don't look old.

"What are you looking at? You like it. If you like it, I'll give you one on your birthday." Melika saw her husband's gaze fell on the classic car, so she smiled and drew a cake for Zhang Chi.

Zhang Chi said: "Look at it casually, this group of people is too ridiculous, everyone is doing this, and I have become the most ostentatious person."

After taking a look at his wife's big Benz, and then looking at these classic cars, Zhang Chi felt that his coin price suddenly dropped a little bit.

Melika listened happily and said, "Okay, let's go! It's important to buy a ranch."

As she spoke, she pulled Zhang Chi. Melika was amused by Zhang Chi, and she really liked to see Zhang Chi's indignant but shameless appearance.

Pulled by his wife, Zhang Chi came to the red carpet. At this time, the main staff of the auction came over and chatted with Zhang Chi and his wife.

They are all guests, and they can afford several million to buy a ranch. They deserve the attention of the auctioneer. These are all resources.

Zhang Chi and Melika wanted to find acquaintances, but they turned around here and didn't see any acquaintances, but this doesn't mean that the men who live near the small town of Amber are not interested in today's auction. People may participate in the shooting by phone, but people can't come to the scene.

Get something to eat and pass the time.

Not many people came, about twenty or so, and when the time came, the auction officially started.

There are not so many rules and regulations, and there is no speech prospect. When the time comes, the auctioneer of the auction house will appear. First, he briefly introduces himself, and the auction will officially begin.

"The ranch for today's auction was provided by Mr. Nell. His family has been running this ranch for more than [-] years. It now covers a total area of ​​[-] acres, of which forests account for about [-]%. That is about [-] acres, there are two deep wells on the pasture, a stable, four cowsheds in different places, and nine quarter horses... ".

The auctioneer introduced the current situation of the ranch.

Mainly ranches and buildings. Other horses are not worth much. Quarter horses can scare people in China, but here, in the western part of the United States, there are many quarter horses. It's similar to seeing Chinese pastoral dogs in our countryside. In this way, the horse is naturally worthless, and it's not even worth a head.

As for architecture, um, how should I put it, tasteless!
Nell's house is not small, but it is also not young. After taking over, it must be repaired. After such repairs, it will cost at least [-] to [-]% of the total price, and maybe more.

There is nothing wrong with Nell's family living in it, but if you want to live in it after you take over, it will definitely go through a major overhaul, and the things inside will have to be replaced.

In fact, besides the land, the most expensive things on the ranch are agricultural machinery.

Obviously, Nell didn't count the agricultural machinery among them, because the agricultural machinery can still be sold for a sum of money, and it is obviously a bit of a loss to use it as a ranch.

In addition to agricultural machinery, if the house is made of stone, it is valuable. It is not made of stone, but a wooden house. To be honest, it is not worth much, especially in the west, where the land price is so cheap. Building a house The cost of buying land is almost negligible.

Zhang Chi knows, but he has to brag about the auctioneer's coin.

Zhang Chi estimated that the auctioneer also knew that the people who came to buy this place must have known about it. Whether he brags about the bullish coin will not affect their plans, but what has to be said has to be said.

It didn't take much time to introduce the ranch. In two minutes, the auctioneer gave an overview of the ranch's situation. Of course, the key point was the outstanding features of the ranch, that is, the deep wells in the ranch.

"Reserve price, [-] million!" The auctioneer called out the price.

"[-] million! Has anyone raised the price?"

Before the auctioneer finished speaking, someone bid immediately.

This one suddenly pushed the price to [-] million.

Zhang Chi felt a little anxious to continue shooting like this, so he raised his head and said, "[-] million."

As soon as Zhang Chi called out [-] million, he was immediately given a second.

However, when the auctioneer called out the price again, more than half of the people raised their hands.

This price is almost the same as the market price. If it is sold again, everyone has to worry about whether the ranch can make money after buying it, or whether it will be easy to sell in the future.

Zhang Chi and Melika were a little nervous at this time, because their capital was not too abundant.

"Add fifty thousand!"

Zhang Chi glanced at Melika and saw her nodding, so he added another [-] to the price.

With the addition of [-], the number of bidders was reduced by half.

Wait!
Zhang Chi still wanted to reach out, but Melika held Zhang Chi down and motioned him to check the situation first.

Be careful when you receive a price increase, [-], [-], [-], [-], and the auctioneer almost dropped the hammer a few times, and someone made a bid at the last second.

Melika thought for a while, then touched Zhang Chi.

Being at the scene and wanting the land very much, Zhang Chi must be very nervous, but he was not so nervous that he could not raise his hand, but he motioned for Melika to reach out.

Melika didn't have time to push back with Zhang Chi, and raised her head: "Add fifty thousand."

Melika finished bidding, and after a while, someone added a little more.

Melika waited for this hand to fall, and then added another [-] on top of this.

The couple had no money. Although the number provided by the bank was higher, the auction house still charged a handling fee, and these things added up to a lot.

Waiting for Melika to finish calling the price, Zhang Chi thought about the price close to nine million dollars, and almost didn't want to buy it.

I don't know why, Zhang Chi actually began to hope that someone could bid higher than this price.

But it is obvious that the price is not wanted to be increased by everyone. The price of buying this ranch for nearly [-] million is really not cheap. Many people have money, but the rich are actually more calculating. If there is no With this calculation, they will not become rich.

Snapped!
The auctioneer's hammer fell.

While falling, he stretched out his hand and introduced in Zhang Chi's direction: "George and Melika got this ranch!"

The people who were clapping together stretched out their hands and applauded. The sparse applause didn't sound like they were praising Zhang Chi and his wife.

But Zhang Chi still nodded and smiled at everyone pretendingly, thanking everyone while smiling.

Damn, my cheeks hurt when I pretend to be a gentleman,

After photographing the ranch, the next step is to discuss with the auction house, when to pay the bill, and when to hand over.

There is nothing to say, Zhang Chi took a look at the ranch of Nell's family, and felt relieved for no reason. The land of more than [-] acres, plus the land he had originally, was almost [-] acres.

Such a ranch is not too small, the only pity is that the two ranches are not connected.

Thinking that the pastures are not connected together, Zhang Chi has a headache, because this is not an easy task. Now his old pasture and this pasture are separated by his good neighbor Lao Liu.

No matter how Zhang Chi sees this guy, he doesn't look like a good old man who can easily agree to change with him.

While Zhang Chi was thinking about it, Melika patted her husband lightly.

"Let's go, don't be dazed, we still have to go to the bank and try to get the money out earlier," Melika said.

When he came back to his senses, Zhang Chi hummed.

The ranch has been bought, but there are still many things to do. First of all, we have to continue to run to the bank, and then the pasture has to change the grass. Next, um, Zhang Chi has to go to the forest to 'try his luck'.
