Little Life on An American Ranch

  Chapter 388 Expensive hobby!

  Wu Yong saw the expression on Jian Heng's face, and immediately understood that his friend was interested in wild horses, so he thought for a while and asked, "Do you want to play for yourself or collect?"

   "What do you say about playing by yourself, and what about collecting?" Jian Heng felt that there seemed to be a lot of knowledge in it, so he put down his wine glass with great interest, and stared at Wu Yong.

Wu Yong also put down the wine glass in his hand, and tapped on the table with his hands: "If you want to play by yourself, then simply make a big change. It is said to be a big change, but it is actually a reprint, and there may be a Everything else in the case is new, but you can rest assured that it must be higher than the original level. After all, the current processing accuracy is not at the level of four or a few years. If you collect it, you will have a lot of knowledge. , and I know more than just a little fur!"

   "Then how much are you going to sell the plane that sells this person to you?" Jian Heng asked curiously.

  Wu Yong said: "1.4 million dollars!"

   "So expensive?" Jian Heng immediately exclaimed when he heard it.

Originally thought that the planes from World War II, and according to what Wu Yong said, were quite large. Jian Heng thought that they would only cost two hundred thousand or three hundred thousand or four hundred thousand dollars, so he gritted his teeth and bought them for fun. Knowing that he opened his mouth, 1.4 million dollars came directly.

Jian Heng offered 1.4 million US dollars, but there was no way to spend it on it. There was a lot of money in his pocket, but there were also many places to spend money in spring. Let alone 1.4 million, 400,000 Jane Heng was reluctant to pay the money.

Wu Yong said: "It's still expensive?! His preservation is not the best. Some parts have been replaced. The real well-preserved Mustang is not at this price, let alone one with historical significance. One million four hundred thousand US dollars is a fair price, if not for my acquaintance, no one else would have this price."

   "Forget it, I'd better get a replica for fun. I'm too shy in my pocket, and there are millions of dollars at every turn, which is enough to buy several new planes." Jian Heng said very bachelor.

After hearing this, Wu Yong stretched out his hand and patted Jian Heng's shoulder: "It's too deep to play this kind of collection. Not only do you need deep pockets, but you also need to have vision and understand technology. Let's play flying! If you really like it, I'll ask someone to see if anyone sells replicas, it's the same for those of us who play airplanes."

   "Okay, then you can help me take a look, if the price is right, I'll get one for fun," Jian Heng said.

   "It's not expensive, I'll let you know if I find it," Wu Yong said.

   After Jian Heng hummed, the three of them continued drinking.

Jian Heng listened to Wu Yong explaining to himself, if he wants to own an airplane, what documents do he need to apply for? Among them, the most important thing mentioned is insurance. Airplanes are really not expensive. Let’s put it this way, Audi A4 is the only domestically driven car. The above people can afford it. The place to spend money is to fly, and just like a car on the road, you must have insurance if you want to go to the sky. The most disturbing thing is that the insurance of the plane is so expensive. It's jaw-dropping.

"Actually, I think it's better for you to rent, or you can trust the plane to the aircraft club, just like me, you can also rent out the plane when you don't need it, and it's like playing for nothing if you come and go. Really, let me tell you that you can’t fly much in a year, so you play hard at the beginning and fly every day, and then you will find that flying every day is too much! Not only the pockets, but also the body.” Wu Yong Persuade.

  Jian Heng thought for a while and said: "I really don't want to share my things with others. I just buy one and play with it myself. Let's talk about it later."

  Wu Yong smiled and said: "I thought so too at first, but after flying for a while, the novelty wears off, so I changed my view. It's not surprising that you still have such thoughts!"

At this time, Zuo Tong said: "Do you know? China is also preparing to slowly release the restrictions on civilian flights below 4,000 meters. Although it is not all at once, it is a good idea for those who love to fly. information".

   "Open the control of low-altitude aircraft below 4,000 meters? This is good news, not only for flying enthusiasts, but also for large farms and pastures." Jian Heng felt that this policy is very good after hearing what Zuo Tong said.

Wu Yong curled his lips after hearing this and said: "The policy is good, the policy is not bad, but in the end it may not be clear what it will become, just like real estate, what the leaders thought at the beginning, and what has become of it now Look! No matter how good the scriptures are, even a single recitation by a monk whose mouth is crooked becomes a crooked scripture!"

  Who is Zuo Tong? He smiled wryly after hearing what Wu Yong said.

   "By the way, doesn't He Ye's ranch have everything, why do you want to come here to do something?" Jian Heng didn't want to talk about this topic, so he turned his head and asked Zuo Tong.

Zuo Tong said: "I'm here to see if there is anything else I want to add. Isn't this a favor from others? We can't be the kind of people who don't repay their kindness, so I came here this time not only to represent me, It also represents some friends, let’s see if there are any shortcomings in the ranch, and we’ve prepared everything, wouldn’t it be comfortable for Mr. He to live in when the time comes.”

   "Oh! That's right, He Ye is actually quite picky." Jian Heng said casually, counting it as a response to a scene.

  Both Jian Heng and Wu Yong understood what Zuo Tong said, this one came to give He Ye a gift.

   The three of them were drinking when they suddenly heard a loud noise coming from outside. It is rare to hear such a noise when living in Montana.

  Zuo Tong looked out the window, opened his mouth and asked, "What's going on?"

   "What else can happen, a bunch of people are idle!" Wu Yong didn't even look out the window, and took a sip from his glass: "This matter is still related to Jian Heng's side!"

   "What does it have to do with me?" Jian Heng said a little puzzled.

  Jian Heng thought that what Wu Yong was talking about was related to his ranch, so he naturally expressed a lot of curiosity, but as soon as Wu Yong explained, he immediately lost interest.

   "A group of animal protectionists were marching outside, protesting against the government and bounty hunters slaughtering wolves. They came here every now and then, and they were annoying to death," Wu Yong said.

  Jian Heng was surprised when he heard this and said, "It's been so long, why are these people still protesting?"

"Isn't that right! A group of people pass by my place from time to time! You live on a ranch. My side is on the edge of the city. The city is not busy with too many people. After work here, Xiao You can protest as soon as you carry the flag out the door, how convenient..." Like Jian Heng, Wu Yong doesn't like this group of people very much, and always feels that these people are too hypocritical.

Speaking of this, Wu Yong said to the two of them: "Speaking of this, let me tell you something, these old beauties are really hard-hearted, Wilson next door to our house, their second child followed the gang of animals The protectionists protested together and came to your house. At that time, there was a lot of noise in your place, and then the cowboys confronted these protesters and almost caused trouble.”

   Jian Heng listened and nodded to show that he knew about it.

It was because of the four-eyed black thing. Of course, Jian Heng didn’t know what the four-eyed black was. The cowboys and bounty hunters were going to kill the wolves. Naturally, the protesters refused to let it go. They just raised flags and shouted slogans. Yes, everyone doesn't care, but some radical youths will take some radical actions. For example, some protesters will destroy the fence of the ranch, or directly break into other people's ranch and write some slogans on the wall. Similar.

  The government usually arrests people for this kind of behavior, either fines them or confines them for some time, or fines them to do some volunteer work.

But how can the cowboys be so talkative? A kid happened to be caught by the cowboy when he was doing this. If you want to say that the gang of cowboys are really skinny, they just took out their guns and shot the kid's feet. He ran out of the pasture at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.

  Because of this incident, a shootout almost broke out, and finally the police escorted these animal protectionists away.

  Wu Yong and Jian Heng are not talking about the same thing, he is talking about the neighbor's house.

"This kid used to live in the town, and he didn't have any precautions against people. He thought that those who came to protest with him were passionate young people. Who knew that after staying for a week, when he was about to return, his wallet was stolen by his peers, and then They called the police, and the old Wilson had to drive for several hours to pick up his son. The old man was tough enough to pick up his son, packed a small burden and drove out of the house. I don't even know where that kid is hanging around," Wu Yong said.

   "This is the father!" Zuo Tong smiled.

"You don't understand. The old cowboys believe in something very simple. Labor creates their lives. Those who don't work can't eat. As for protesting the killing of livestock, they want to dig the roots of their existence. Bad-tempered cowboys can't stand this. If the son does it, then father and son must break up," Jian Heng said.

Jian Heng understands that it is because when old Anders was alive, his relationship with his daughter, the prodigal girl Mary, was not very good. The biggest conflict was in the concept of two generations. Old Anders let that Americans of Mary’s generation are not only lazy but also idle, flamboyant and unsteady. Mary thinks that her father’s generation is too old-fashioned, without knowledge and vision.

  Anders was good, and later tried to understand Mary, but when he passed away, Jian Heng didn't know what the old man thought or how he evaluated his daughter's actions.

   "We look at them from the perspective of our China, and we really don't quite understand it," Zuo Tong said with a sigh.

   "It is inevitable for a man to have a wife who is not virtuous and his son is not filial," Wu Yong added without thinking.
