Alpine pasture

Chapter 382 The old man is under a lot of pressure
In this kind of wasteland, with the simple houses in the early stage, there are too many choices. Anyway, it’s just to raise some goats, um, maybe add the beasts, anyway, buy some land and let Leonard toss it, as for whether it can be settled or not. Why have you thought about it too much, there is still something that can’t be done once the space is watered?
After a little thought in his head, he asked Leonard, "Then you are now focusing on the research on this fern, what about the research on pasture grass?".

Hearing Ju An mentioning the space grass, the old man Leonard felt a little helpless, and said to Ju An with a wry smile: "I still have no clue, and I have asked many colleagues, but they have no way to survive on the ranch. It is very strong, and it is very fragile in other places. If it was the Middle Ages, I would have thought that this land was enchanted by people.”

Enchanted?Ju An was a little speechless. The old man's words were infinitely close to the truth. It was Ju An who cast magic on his ranch.

Seeing Ju An froze for a moment, the old man Leonard smiled and explained: "How can we who are doing research believe these things? I just said casually, nature is very wonderful, and some things can't be explained by us. Yes, I am also very sorry about this, I have been researching for a few years and have no clue."There was a look of disappointment on his face.

Ju An patted the old man's hand and said, "I can't blame you for this. It's always difficult to study it."This sentence is true, indeed, you can't blame the old bald head, but Ju An himself.

Leonard shook his head and said, "I took the ranch allowance every day, but nothing came of it. Fortunately, this fern gave me hope this time."

"How can you say that there are no results? Didn't you live the grass in the new pasture?" Ju An said to Leonard.

The old man smiled bitterly: "I also suspect that this is not my factor, but the soil or some other environmental factors. I have already sent the soil and part of the water source of the ranch to a professional laboratory for testing, and we will wait and see. To see if it contains any special trace elements, it is estimated that even with the current scientific research methods, it may not be discovered."

Looking at the tangled expression on the old man's face, Ju An didn't know what to say. The old man asked Ju An to lead him around in circles, making him dizzy. He didn't even have the allowance given by Ju An. The professor is different. Norman's gray and white cattle are well-bred and managed in an orderly manner. The help to the pasture can be seen, and the pressure on the old man increases when they compare the two.

The old man Leonard continued: "I have studied this fern, but it is much simpler than pasture. As long as we ensure the supply of water, there are not many problems in raising sheep, and the hope of success is very high. Finally, there is hope for me The output came in one breath, and the pressure of coming to the ranch became more and more day by day, which made me not look like a free meal anymore.”The old man let out a sigh of relief.

Just taking money and not doing anything is a good career for many people, but for Leonard, an old man who is engaged in research, it is estimated that it is torment. It doesn't matter if the old man is a kind of Ju An who eats and waits to die, but is the one who can be a professor at Laomei University and is a tenured professor with this kind of personality?People with this kind of personality can't stand at the forefront of academics. After several years of research, there is still no hope of success. It is conceivable how much pressure the old man is under.

This has something to do with American scientific research ideas. Most scientific research is privately invested. It follows that whoever invests will benefit, so the requirements for results are very strict. , or you don’t see any possibility of success, who still invests you money, and what kind of research do you do if you don’t have money?No results, how do you stand firm in school?The qualifications of the top universities in the United States are not based on your popularity, but on your academic achievements. If you fail to meet the requirements, I am sorry to fire you without any hesitation.

Ju An didn't expect that the old man who he used as a shield would have such a lot of pressure, and he couldn't find anything to express, let alone telling the secret of the beads.

The two of them sat on the sofa and started talking about the plan to get a sheep farm soon. Ju An mainly listened to Leonard, and whether he understood it or not, he nodded in agreement from time to time.

After chatting for about an hour, the real estate agent Ji Lun arrived at Ju An's villa. The old man did not bring an accountant and lawyer this time. Ju An told him that when he was optimistic, everyone would directly hand it over to his lawyer and accountant. , so as not to run around with a few people.

When I entered the door, I saw that there were only two people on Ju An's side and said with a smile, "I have prepared a few wastelands this time, both private and state government. You two have a look first."After speaking, he handed the folder in his hand to Ju An, who took it over and turned it over a few times before handing it over to Professor Leonard.

Then he said to Leonard: "You first have a general look to see if there is a more suitable one."

Then he turned his head and said to Gillen: "This is the first time I saw you take out state land. Is there any reason for this, is there a discount or something?"

Gillen shook his head and said: "They are all about the market price. Whoever wants these places does not have oil and minerals, and no one has bought them after more than ten or twenty years. Basically every broker company has information on these places. , The rich would rather build a place with abundant water and grass, but what do those without money buy these lands for?”.

Ju An said with a smile, "What's the problem? It's over if the water supply is installed."

"Who wants to do this?" Gillen said, and then suggested to Ju An: "I don't know what you are going to do with these wastelands, isn't it good to buy some ready-made pastures, the investment is much smaller than these, and the benefits are also Come on, even if it's a large pasture like last time, it's much better than these wastelands."

"Why, you are not willing to sell the land as brokers?" Ju An smiled at Gillen and said.

Ji Lun smiled after hearing this, put his hands on his knees, leaned his body and said to Ju An: "These small wasteland brokers are unwilling to do it, they can't find a buyer, and the big brokers are also unwilling to do it. If there is no buyer, even if you find a share, the cost is only a little bit. If you have this skill, it is better to sell a luxury house now. If you are not interested, I will send a deputy directly."

Emotions are not driven by economic interests. These guys are also lazy. It is also said that the fees charged by these brokers are linked to the transaction price. Who wants to sell these wastelands.

At this time, Leonard had finished flipping through the information that Gillen had brought, and handed the folder to Ju An: "I read a few, but I can't see anything from this picture, we still have to go to the scene to see it."

After listening to Ju An, he took the folder and looked at it. Leonard pointed to a few wastelands and showed Ju An. For these wastelands, let’s set aside one or two of less than 10,000 acres, and don’t look at it.”Less than [-] acres is really meaningless, and expansion will be troublesome if it costs around US$[-]+.

After finishing speaking, he pointed out a few ranches in the document to Gillen: "That's all, I'll talk about it after reading it."

Gillen took a look at the several ranches pointed to by Ju An: "You can visit one in the afternoon, just a two-hour drive away, and just go directly to the next ranch."After speaking, I took out a map and clicked on a few to draw a circle.

Ju An looked at it, nodded and said, "Then do it like this."

The three of them ate a meal at the villa and then set off. Ju An didn’t have a car in this villa, and a car was purchased by the housekeeper, so Ju An had to take the two of them to the car shop and rented a car that Ju An liked. The gmc, it is reasonable to buy one, but considering this time, the destination will not be able to return to California, but it is more convenient to rent a car, after reading the land, find a car dealer and return it, and you can make a plane came back.

The three people rented a car and drove towards the first stop, Rosamond. It was indeed a short distance. After the three people drove the car to the place, as soon as they walked down, Ju An felt that the place was good, and it still looked sparse. Shrubs and small trees, can this place be considered wasteland?

Ju An looked around while walking, and then said to Gillen, "This is a wasteland, there are still small trees and shrubs growing here."

Gillen shrugged: "Of course this place is a wasteland. It's not a wasteland. You can't see any soil on the ground."After saying that, he stepped on the ground under his feet.

Ju An saw that there were many small stones on the ground under his feet, and the soil was relatively rough. The overall situation was still very good. Since Gillen said it was a wasteland, it should be a wasteland: "Let's take a look inside."After speaking, he motioned for the two to get into the car and drive towards the land.

After driving for a while, he heard the sound of the plane above his head. Ju An stuck his head out and saw that a plane was flying very low and passed overhead.

Waiting for the plane to fly away, Ju An said to Gillen: "How many games are there nearby? Which city is this relying on?".

Gillen smiled and said to Ju An: "It's not a city, it's Edwards Air Force Base!".

Depend on!Relying on these GIs! That's fine. As soon as he heard that there was an air force base nearby, Ju An shook his head in his heart. This guy can't be a neighbor with an air force base.

Why?As a minority, Ju An doesn't want to get involved in espionage cases. Although this possibility is very small, Ju An doesn't want to take even a small risk. Will a soldier get a few sheep to fight toothbrush sacrifices, and then let Ju An find these soldiers for a theory?Ju An believes that American soldiers should not have a tradition of not taking the masses by needle and thread. Stealing a sheep or something is very likely to happen.

Who doesn't like to be neighbors with these soldiers? Are you looking for something? The buddies don't open bars and dance. They don't want to know these violent machines.
