Chapter 88 Ups and Downs
Zhang Chi warned himself in his heart: keep calm!

In fact, he was dying of guilt, but he still believed in the judgment of some old ranchers that the price of beef could rise to more than two yuan nine.

Cover up!

Sitting at the table, Zhang Chi flipped through the live cattle price index on his mobile phone today, and his inner psychological activities were quite intense.

Cannon had finished eating by this time and cleared his plate.

"Boss, should we sell a batch first?" Cannon was a little worried.

Zhang Chi said: "Let's wait a little longer."

"There is news that the cattle epidemic in Texas is showing signs of being brought under control, and overall the losses are not large," Cannon said.

Now almost everyone in Amber Town has to bring the price of cattle when they meet and greet each other. Naturally, Cannon is the same. When he wakes up every day to check the price of cattle today, it becomes the first thing Kannon opens his eyes.

Hearing that the BOSS said to wait a little longer, Cannon stopped talking. How to sell the cow and when to sell it is the boss’s business. The most important thing for him as a cowboy is to do a good job, not to give too many suggestions, especially When it comes to selling cattle, the boss can certainly be happy if the price is high, but if the price is low, if the boss puts the responsibility on himself, the loss outweighs the gain.

"I'm going to work," Cannon said after washing his dishes and leaving the room.

Zhang Chi lowered his head and continued to eat his breakfast. The breakfast was still very simple, with oatmeal and a sandwich.

Zhang Chi feels that with the efficiency of the Americans, it is impossible to extinguish the epidemic so quickly, and it is not so easy to completely slaughter the sick cows.

Many of the most severely infected cattle are large ranches. These ranchers are definitely not so easy to deal with. Although they are infected cattle, if these ranchers do not get satisfactory compensation, they will definitely insist that their cattle can be saved. a bit.

Never overestimate the conscience of American capitalists. How can they have such a thing? They shout that my interests are the interests of the United States, but in fact they are centered on me. As for other people's lives, they don't care at all.

Just when Zhang Chi was running the train with his mind full, the phone on the desk rang.

"aunt".

Seeing that it was Auntie calling, Zhang Chi answered the phone immediately.

"That Dachi, what I told you last time, that kid might not be here anymore," Gu Ying said straight to the point on the other end of the phone.

Zhang Chi didn't realize it all at once, and when he thought about it, he knew that his distant relative that Auntie had mentioned was the one who was going to work on his ranch.

"Oh, then I know," Zhang Chi replied.

Gu Ying was very angry on the other side. She and her nephew had made an agreement, but they didn't want their son to come, because they thought it was unseemly to herd cattle in the pasture.

Hearing this relative say that it is not decent, Gu Yingfei is about to explode. You are a graduate of a third-rate school. You really think you graduated from the Ivy League. Besides, even students who graduated from the Ivy League are unemployed .

Now your son can't find a job, so he asked me to get it, and I introduced one to you, but you said it was not decent.

Living in the White House is decent, why doesn't your son go!

"Da Chi, blame me for being troublesome, what did your uncle say just now?" Gu Ying said.

Zhang Chi laughed and said: "Auntie, you won't be offended if you say this. If he doesn't come, he won't come. You don't have to worry about it, and I also save trouble here. Don't say that. I, a junior, can't stand it." It's not a big deal after all, you think?"

"Yes, yes, I'm just angry, you said he didn't go to university, what choice do you choose, now many American kids have a hard time finding a job..." Gu Ying complained again.

If this one didn't come, Zhang Chi applauded in his heart, not only saving a salary, but also saving a heart.

"By the way, Da Chi, the price of cattle is quite high now, can you sell your cattle?" Gu Ying was concerned about the cattle in his nephew's ranch again.

People in Folsom are also talking about the price of cattle now, and Gu Ying and Zhang Youliang have naturally heard about it. It is a good thing that the price of cattle has risen, and their nephew still owes money to the bank.

"I'm not going to sell it yet, wait and see." Zhang Chi told his aunt about it honestly.

"It's good to have a look."

Gu Ying didn't understand these things either, but his nephew said that he should take a look at it again, maybe the price will go up a bit.

The two chatted for a while before ending the conversation.

Zhang Chi went out to work.

When he came back at noon, Zhang Chi was going to make lunch.

As soon as he sat down, he heard the phone ring.

Seeing that it was Nell calling, I was a little curious.

"George, do you have time on the [-]th?" Nell and Zhang Chi asked after a few polite words.

"It should be time, what's the matter?"

Zhang Chi was a little surprised, why did Nell call himself, this person generally doesn't like to communicate with people, and I haven't heard of any parties he likes to hold, so why would he ask himself if he has time on the [-]th.

"On the [-]th, we are going to find some people to fight coyotes. I want to ask if you are free. If you are free, let's go together," Nell introduced to Zhang Chi.

Fight coyotes?
It sounds like hunting, but it's actually gun practice.There are a lot of coyotes around here, and the number far exceeds that of the North American gray wolf. These guys have a large number and reproduce quickly, so the control of the number of coyotes has always been a concern for the people here.

Zhang Chi thought for a while, and felt that he was nothing serious. Cannon had to feed the cows. Apart from practicing, he was almost doing nothing, and hunting wild animals was also quite interesting.

"Who else?"

"Miller, Ricardo, and Burris, these are the few for the time being, there are four or five people in total, it's not good if there are too many people in this kind of activity," Nell said.

It’s not that there are too many people, it’s because Nell doesn’t like to get together very much, this time I thought of inviting Zhang Chi, it’s because Zhang Chi bought Chuanbei Pipa Gao for Zhang Luo to cure his child’s cough, otherwise Nell wouldn’t Maybe Zhang Chi was invited to fight coyotes together.

"Then I will definitely be there. By the way, what are your requirements and what should I bring?" Zhang Chi asked.

Nell said: "You need to bring a sleeping bag to protect against the cold, and more clothes to wear. In addition, your gun must have an infrared sight. These few things are enough."

"That!"

Zhang Chi used to be a bit picky, but now Zhang Chi sees that the price of cattle has reached [-] yuan. Isn't it okay to buy an infrared scope to treat yourself?
"See you then," Nell said.

Nell was also straightforward, and hung up the phone directly after speaking.

Zhang Chi closed the line and continued making lunch.

After it's done, sit back at the table and start eating lunch while checking the news on your phone.

After eating, he still took a nap for more than half an hour, Zhang Chi got up and started to prepare for work.

As soon as he went out, Zhang Chi saw Cannon coming to the room to fill up coffee.

"Boss, there seems to be someone in the ranch over there."

Cannon and Zhang Chi said this.

"Oh, here's the rancher over there?"

The original Xiongshi Ranch has a large area, divided into several days. Except for Zhang Chi, the other areas are not small, and each piece has to be several million dollars.

Now the owner of the nearby ranch is here, and it is obvious that he must be a rich man with big pockets.

As for whether to come or not, it has little to do with Zhang Chi, everyone just said it verbally.

"The whole family looks Asian. I think it's a Chinese family," Cannon said again to Zhang Chi.

Zhang Chi laughed and said, "Not all Asians are Chinese."

In the past, when these Americans saw Asians, the first thing they thought of was Japanese, or Koreans. Now when they see Asians, they don’t care whether you speak Japanese or Korean. They all think you are Chinese. Whether you are or not, you have to be Chinese.

"I look Chinese." Cannon shrugged, then walked into the house to get his coffee.

Zhang Chi became a little interested now, and rode on Chiyan Mountain to the west, wanting to see if the new neighbor who moved in is Chinese. It is also convenient to get up, not to mention that everyone gets together to eat and drink, and there is also a companion.

Riding Chiyan Mountain, he came to the edge of his own ranch, and Zhang Chi looked towards his ranch.

The sky is clear now, and the eyesight is excellent, but unfortunately, after searching for a while, Zhang Chi didn't find anyone. I don't know where Cannon saw this Asian family.

Seeing no one, Zhang Chi turned around and wanted to go back to work. After walking along the fence for a while, there was a burst of laughter in his ears, and the voice was obviously in Chinese.

Zhang Chi stopped and looked towards the direction of the sound. He soon found three children playing on the snow. Two boys and a girl. The girl was about eleven or twelve years old. Eight or nine years old, and the other five or six.

Looking at the clothes on the three children, Zhang Chi knew that the family was quite rich.

Such nonsense, how can a family who can spend millions of dollars to buy a ranch let their children dress like beggars.

What Zhang Chi meant was not this, but that the three children were wearing famous brands, such as Gucci clothes and Prada backpacks on the girls.

I don't know how much this thing is worth, but Zhang Chi knows it's definitely not cheap.

"Hello, are you Chinese?"

Zhang Chi raised his hand and stood on the horse and greeted the three children with a smile.

"We are not Chinese, we are British".

The oldest little girl said something to Zhang Chi.

unlucky!

An Englishman who speaks Chinese.

Zhang Chi turned his head and left. Hearing what the little girl said, Zhang Chi understood what kind of people this family was.

When meeting such a person, Zhang Chi can go as far as he can.

It was originally a happy day, but now Zhang Chi is in a bad mood.

I thought that would be the end of the day, but in the bar at night, an even worse news came out, the price of live cattle fell below [-] yuan.

...!
Zhang Chi wanted to scold someone.

Now in the bar, half were scolding, half were smiling. The smiling ones knew that the cattle had been sold in the past two days. Naturally, the scolding was the same as Zhang Chi, waiting for the price of cattle to rise further.

Zhang Chi was not in the mood to scold, and returned to the ranch sullenly. Now he was a little suspicious of his estimate.
