Rural life in America

Chapter 122

Just after twelve o'clock on the New Year's Eve, this is the arrival of the new year; naturally there is a tradition, when there are bursts of fireworks and firecrackers, this is the birth of stars.

Although Xixi, who was sleeping, was woken up and making noises, but there was nothing she could do about it, who made this a tradition.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the children put on new clothes; Zhang Hao and Christina started to take Xixi to pay New Year's greetings, mainly at the door of their house, and all the neighbors went to pay New Year's greetings.

"When we were young, the children in front of our house went to New Year's greetings in groups. At that time, the main fun was to get candies during New Year's greetings. It is similar to your Halloween 'Trick or Treat' nature, but there are not many children now. It will be like this again."

Christina was a little surprised, "You also have such a tradition?"

Zhang Hao said with a smile, "There is no child who doesn't like candy! This is a great tradition. In fact, we don't care whether there is candy. What we like is the fun of getting candy."

Christina nodded in agreement and said, "I admit this, although children like candy. But for children, what they like most is the process of the game, not just for the candy."

Zhang Hao agrees with what Christina said. Candy is not the most important goal. What children like is the process of getting candy. This kind of game is their favorite.

New Year's greetings are still very busy, not only need to pay New Year's greetings in the neighbors, but visiting relatives and friends is the most important thing; the uncle's house must go, and the second day of the new year must go to the uncle's house, otherwise it will not make sense.

Xixi was shy again. This little girl hugged her father's leg and didn't let go. She saw a lot of people she didn't know. Of course Xixi didn't dare to leave her father's side. Great, but once there are outsiders, this little guy will be shy and shy, and when he asks questions, he just laughs and doesn't speak.

It's okay for the little follower to be around, and it doesn't affect Zhang Hao's chatting and bragging with his cousins ​​at all. In addition to the cousins ​​of the uncle's family, the two cousins ​​of the aunt's family also came over.

The little cousin who graduated from graduate school and is now in charge of the refrigerator market in Southeast Asia speaks good English. You can chat with Christina, "There is a big age gap between me and him, and he is the youngest of our relatives. We treat him as a little cousin. .”

Christina also understands these things quite well, because it can be seen that Zhang Hao is the youngest among these cousins, so naturally she doesn't expect to hear more about Zhang Hao's childhood, "Are you in the overseas market now? If you have the opportunity to go to the United States, we will definitely entertain you. He told me that he hopes you will come to the ranch as a guest."

The little cousin laughed and said, "If I have the opportunity, I will definitely go. I am mainly engaged in the Southeast Asian market, which is not very developed. My mother has always wanted to go abroad to see, and I want to take her to a more developed country. let's go."

Christina immediately became excited, and she enjoyed the feeling of being the master, "Hao said that you have a holiday on May Day, and his brother will also go. It was spring at that time, and the scenery of the ranch was also great!"

This means that she has found someone to chat with, and of course Christina is happy; her Chinese is really average, and she can only say hello.But now meeting a cousin Zhang Hao who can communicate directly, it is difficult to be unhappy.

Zhang Hao, who was listening on the side, said, "Brother Jian, if you have time, you can apply for a visa. Then I will take you around. Play in my ranch for two days, and then go to Los Angeles and San Francisco for a while It's all right; if the auntie and the others come over, we will be together, and my parents haven't been to New York yet, so we'll all go shopping."

The little cousin was a little moved, thought for a while and said, "Then I'll go back and ask, if they agree to we will go on May [-]st. You are not busy at that time, if you are busy, forget it."

Zhang Hao told the truth that he was really not very busy at that time, "Not busy, not at all. If you are busy, ask your auntie and brother to come back with them. They plan to take their annual leave this year. They will spend more time in the United States in May. Wait for a while. When the time comes, call Brother Xiaogang to let Chenyang go with you. It doesn’t matter if he’s not busy with the project, he’ll go with you, the whole family will go!”

This matter has not been told to the uncle for the time being, not because Zhang Hao doesn't want to entertain the uncle's family, but because if there are too many people at one time, he will definitely not be able to entertain them.So this time, if it's my aunt's family going there, it's okay, but if my uncle's family also goes, then Zhang Hao will be in a hurry.

The little cousin asked a little strangely, "Xiao Lei asks for annual leave in May? Our company is not very easy to take annual leave, right? Is it better for the following industry and trade to ask for leave?"

Zhang Hao smiled, but there is no need to hide it too much, "I don't know if it's okay to ask for leave, but he will definitely ask for it. I will be busy after the first day of May, and I have a lot of business things. I now raise horses and also race horses , From May to June is the Triple Crown of horse racing, which can make a lot of money, and my brother also went to help make a fortune."

The little cousin understood now. He also knew that Zhang Hao made a fortune and Zhang Lei bought a house because of horse racing. "That's right. You must make more money when you meet this race. Are you planning to change houses this year?"

Zhang Hao nodded and said, "I have such an idea. When I first bought the ranch, I had a small house, which was too small. I made a lot of money last year, but I didn't spend much at home. The money I earned this year bought A house, buying a yacht, should be about the same.”

In the new year, Zhang Hao has too many ideas. The main money he earns this year is to improve his life; to make a thorough improvement, it is not just to eat better and dress better, but to be like a The real rich are average.

Big houses need to be built, and there is no shortage of yachts; there are more people in the family now, so the houses cannot be too small.Since there is a lake in front of the house, the yacht must go a little bit to buy it, even before summer comes.

Zhang Hao has no pressure on making money. With the triple crown and the Breeders’ Cup, basically the money from the yacht and the house can be returned; and the ranch has other income. In the new year, there will be three good horses. The foal is born.In addition, the investment in the ranch is basically nothing, and Zhang Hao will also participate in some first-level competitions to make money and help people find horses.

So there is really no need to worry about the speed at which Zhang Hao makes money, even if the new villa needs a bank loan now, but Zhang Hao is not under any pressure at all!

Zhang Lei didn't have much pressure, because he knew that he could earn a lot of money from these few horse races a year, and he was actually considering changing his career, a career that might be better than the current one.

Men are more or less enterprising, especially now that they have a certain amount of capital, they dare not say that they are completely free, at least they have more courage to fight.

Don't panic if you have food in your hands, Zhang Lei does have more choices now; this job looks good to many people now, and it is more than enough than the top.

It's just that Zhang Lei is definitely dissatisfied with what he can get from horse racing, which is too far behind; if conditions and opportunities arise, maybe he can consider changing.

Generally speaking, Zhang Hao still supports some of my brother's plans; because he knows very well that if my brother just goes to work peacefully, he may be able to earn thousands of dollars every month, especially after buying a house. No pressure.

It just has to be admitted that even if the combined monthly income of the elder brother and sister-in-law is more than 1, there must be some; it’s just that this kind of income is really ordinary, at least for Zhang Hao now.

Anyway, there is not much pressure, and there is a fairly reliable escape route, so why not make a breakthrough, maybe it can create better living conditions for Yoyo.Of course, it can also satisfy my brother's heart that is eager to try.

Back home, I had a rare formal chat with my elder brother about career matters, "Your current class is good, but it's not bad, it's not interesting. If you can, you can come out and make a difference. We don't have much capital, but we don't have much money. That’s a lot of money. If you work hard, maybe you can have some career.”

Zhang Lei took out a cigarette from his pocket, handed one to Zhang Hao and said, "If you support me, I can think about it more, then I will see if there is a project that is more suitable for me in the first half of the year, and I will do it myself if I find the right project. It’s really not good to work for others, it’s called a white-collar worker, and it’s basically a white-collar worker after one month’s salary arrives.”

Zhang Hao smiled, and said confidently, "Don't worry, don't dare to say anything else. Every year, the two of us brothers will join hands to earn 200 million US dollars. It will be no problem. You don't have to worry about the future, just give it a go. I don’t have any projects to help you now, but I will try my best to help you find a solution for money matters. Really, if my pasture develops and the beef is sold back, I will give you the exclusive franchise right then!”

Zhang Lei laughed and said, "That's good, but you have to expand the area of ​​the ranch. The current slaughter volume is useless. The quality must be improved. Your beef is of good quality but not top-notch. If you sell it back, it will be fine." How competitive."

Zhang Hao said confidently, "Don't worry, the quality of beef will definitely rise steadily. I can't rush it now. I'm just laying the foundation. When the conditions are ripe, then we will explode, and then we will have a lot of beef." Make money!"

My brother wants to start a business, of course Zhang Hao supports it, because he feels that working for others is really not free at all; he can't accept the nine-to-five life now, because he is completely adapted to the unfettered and leisurely life on the ranch.

As for the risks and pressures that my brother may face if he wants to start a business, Zhang Hao doesn’t think there is a problem; there is no risk in doing anything, and if you are afraid of wolves and tigers, you should simply not do anything, that’s the safest way!

If you work hard, you may be able to create a new situation; besides, Zhang Hao also knows that my brother is more aggressive, at least compared to him.

It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish. Zhang Hao also hopes that his brother can have a stable career; he can’t always think about horse racing to make a fortune. This is indeed a very good business, but there are only a few competitions a year. what!

So now that my brother wants to start a business, Zhang Hao naturally fully supports it!
