Chapter 440 Complaining
Zhang Chi turned his head and looked in the direction the police car was leaving.

"If I had known, I would also be a police officer. Look at nothing for a whole day, just wandering around. How nice it is to walk around all your life and still have a considerable pension when you grow old!" Zhang Chi said.

After hearing this, Miller said to Zhang Chi: "Well, I'll call them back, and you can trade with them at will, the ranchers of thousands of acres and the police, I believe none of them will refuse you Do you want to be a policeman? The policeman used to be easy to do, but now let’s forget about it. There are complaints everywhere. Before you can collect some money, you will be punished.”

"Are you familiar?"

"I've actually been a cop before," Miller said.

Zhang Chi couldn't believe it: "No way, I've been here for more than ten years, why haven't I seen you?"

Zhang Chi felt that Miller was bragging to him. Miller was slightly older than Zhang Chi, but not by much. If he had really been a policeman, Zhang Chi could not have known about him.

It sounds like Folsom is a city, but there are really not many police officers. It is estimated that there are more than 20 or [-] people. This is still squatting in the office. I don’t know if there are seven groups of police officers who actually come out to patrol. That is fourteen people.

If these dozens of faces are still unfamiliar to you, they must be newcomers.

"I'm not in Folsom, but in a small town over Denver. I've only worked for four or five months, and I've been complained five or six times a month. I really can't stand it anymore and quit," said Miller. .

Zhang Chi joked: "Collected black money?"

"If you want me to talk to you here now? I've already gone in," Miller laughed.

Following Miller, he talked to Zhang Chi about being a policeman.

Zhang Chi has watched enough of this on TV, and it is nothing new, but when it came out of Miller's mouth, Zhang Chi felt that the angle was a bit special and interesting, so he listened with pricked ears.

The police are really hard to do. Now there are not enough police officers in many cities. Everyone doesn’t want to be a policeman. First of all, it’s dangerous. You don’t know which [-] to face.
The second is that they don’t make a lot of money, and the salaries of the police are actually not high, at least the police in Amber’s side are not as high as the salaries of white-collar workers in the company.

The third is to be angry.

If it is really a shot, it is a stable one.

The media here like to fan the flames. The media don't care about justice or injustice. All they care about is sales.

"From the perspective of a bystander, you may feel that you shouldn't pull the gun and shoot. In fact, you are not at the scene. If you think about it, you are holding a gun, and the person opposite also has a gun. This is not a matter of your upper lip rubbing your lower lip. You are a real people.

Are you afraid?If there is any trouble, you will shoot subconsciously. You didn’t say what you were going to do. This is not going to the vegetable market to buy vegetables.Slow down, your life may be gone, this is not a joke, nor is it playing a game, you can live after death, you only have one life, if you die, you are gone! "

Miller took a sip and breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, I finally quit. I came back to take care of the ranch at home with my family. Although the work is a bit tiring, it is better than going to work all day and worrying about it."

"It's nice being a cowboy."

Zhang Chi smiled and touched Miller with the beer bottle in his hand.

Ding!
"It's pretty good," Miller said with a smile, "It just doesn't make any money."

"No way, the market is like this. It is difficult to earn a lot of money in ordinary work," Zhang Chi said cheerfully.

Ranch to make money?Really do not make money.

Without the prestige of gourds, Zhang Chi would have lost his pants a long time ago. Let alone a ranch like Zhang Chi, even if it is a ranch with tens of thousands of acres, if it is purely raising cattle, it will not make much money without other industries. Normal income is between 40 and [-] US dollars, which refers to net income.

Isn't $40 million a year enough for ordinary people?But compared to other investment industries, the return on ranch is really mediocre.

As for the small ranch, say tens of acres, it can’t be a pure ranch, what are most of them, city dwellers with a little spare money, work in the city most of the week, and come back to the ranch on weekends Rest, and do work along the way.

There are really very few small ranchers who really live on pastures, and there will be fewer and fewer in the future.

There are no restrictions on land mergers, and more and more land will be collected in the hands of the rich in the future.

For example, Bill is now the largest landowner in the United States, and he can even affect food prices.

"Beef in supermarkets is getting more and more expensive, but cattle ranchers can't make money. This is the way of the world," Miller said with emotion.

Zhang Chi smiled, but didn't respond.

To complain like this, when you go to a small hotel in the town, you can hear it closing when you open the door, and it may be accompanied by comfortable insults.

But is it useful?It's useless, it's useless at all. If it is really useful, then a few slaughter companies will not monopolize the entire U.S. slaughter market.

Everyone knows who the cancer is, but there is nothing they can do about it.

Unite?It is easy to think, but very difficult to do.

The guys from the slaughterhouse unite, whether they are the police, the judges, or the National Guard, they all become their people in an instant, including many ranchers who have already stood in their trenches and talked about Birds unite.

The war hasn't started yet, half of the original natural allies have gone to the other side, and the half with special strength, what do you think?
Besides, if we want to unite, we should have united a long time ago. As for the [-]% share of the big companies.

Miller scolded for a while, starting from the governor to the mayor, and finally had enough of his addiction.

"The market for Amber cattle is going up," Miller said.

Zhang Chi naturally had to think about it, so he opened his mouth and asked, "Do you want to raise Amber cattle?"

Miller nodded: "Yes, but no money."

As mentioned above, ranchers don’t earn much money. Although Miller’s family ranch has two to three thousand acres, there are not as many cattle as Zhang Chi’s current small ranch, so how could he have any money.

If they want to invest in Amber Cattle, their family really doesn't have the capital.

This is what Zhang Chi said. Many ranchers are worth a lot, but they don't have a few full bills in their pockets, all of which are false.

Now the price of Amber cattle has been rising, and it is not only the size of Amber cattle that has contributed to this trend, but also the meat yield.There is still another indicator that has not come out yet, that is, the feeding cycle, that is, the time it takes for a calf to grow into a cow. If this one is qualified, then the Amber cattle may become one of the most economically valuable cattle breeds.

It is possible that these three words have attracted a group of people to bet now. What is the most important thing to make money?Courage, you dare to bet when you encounter an opportunity, and you can only win if you make a bet. Even if you don’t make a bet, even if you know it, it’s useless.

If you have no money, there is nothing you can do. Even if Miller is Zhang Chi's friend, Zhang Chi can't possibly sell his Amber cattle to his family at a fair price. That's impossible.

This is giving money to people for no reason, and Zhang Chi's brain is not sick.

Besides, you have to understand one thing when you are here with Laomei. My interests are my interests. We are friends, but don’t talk about interests. If we talk about interests, we will do business. To put it bluntly, we are friends. Talk about friendship when talking about business, talk about interests when talking about business, two irrelevant things.

If you confuse it, you lose money and have no friends.

"The price of Amber cattle has gone up again, to $[-] a pound," Miller said.

Zhang Chi smiled: "It's good that the price has risen, but it has little to do with me."

Most of the remaining ones in Zhang Chi's pasture are cows. Even if there are young bulls, most of the time they still need to suckle at the moment.

The bulls in the original population, except for a few reserved as breeding males, almost all the rest were stabbed, either on the neck or in the crotch. In short, now it is the "milk pouring" of Zhang Chi and his wife in the Amber cattle market. action.

In fact, it is thanks to the methods of Zhang Chi and his wife that those who have found defective cattle can enjoy such a good price.

If Zhang Chi lets go and sells everything, even the offspring of bulls, then those cattle that find the second cattle will definitely not be able to sell at this price, let alone this price, the price that can sell breed cattle They were lucky.

"What are you talking about? I said I came to swim, but I didn't see you go down a few times."

Sun Yanping came over, he knew a little English, but if you let him understand Miller's spoken English, you really think highly of him.

To be honest, if Zhang Chi hadn't stayed here for ten years, Zhang Chi wouldn't understand what Miller said.

English also has dialects, just like China, although it belongs to the same country and speaks the same language, but the dialects of some places can make you wonder what he is talking about after listening to them, or even you don’t know them Are you speaking human words?

Usually the dialect on Amber's side is very unpopular, and has contributed a lot to the entertainment industry.In the entertainment industry, people who speak this dialect generally have the image of two hundred and five.

Sun Yanping listened to Miller's words like this. He knew it was English, but he didn't even know what he was talking about, so he might as well make gestures.

"Talk about raising cattle. By the way, brother-in-law, have you caught your fish?" Zhang Chi asked with a smile.

After talking with Miller for a while, or to put it this way, seeing Miller's poor appearance, Zhang Chi felt much better.

Sun Yanping laughed awkwardly and said: "I didn't catch it, but now there are only three. Maybe there are not many thorns in your pond, or all the thorns have gone to school, and we caught three skipping classes."

Zhang Chi couldn't help being happy when he heard what his brother-in-law said.

Unless the stickleback is farmed, it is difficult to catch wild ones. Although Zhang Chi's pond is also considered to be farmed, the amount of Zhang Chi's seedlings is much rarer than that of artificial farms, and at most it is a few times larger. Ten tails, there will be no more.

"Forget it, let's let it go. I'll go back and take a few cages to the pond later. As for whether you can eat or not, it depends on whether you have a good taste." Zhang Chi laughed.

"also".

There are only three fish, less than two catties in total, even if it is cooked, it will be enough for anyone to eat.
