Alpine pasture

Chapter 384 Just Dig This Way (Three More)
For a whole day, after signing a few documents, the valley near Kingman was under Ju An's name. Ju An was in charge of signing the brush, and old man Leonard was in charge of planting plants. As for how to plan the ranch, he had to go back. Just ask Thomas and Lawrence, two old cowboys.

Things in California are almost done, and Ju'an's vacation this time is officially over. When the next time comes, it will most likely be next year. Or how about a waste of villas? Just come one or two a year. Month, most of the time the villa lives in the housekeeper, living in a mansion with money, and it is really hard to be a billionaire with hundreds of thousands of taxes a year.

When he left the villa, Ju An was a little worried, thinking about spending ten months to keep the house in vain, and when he got on the plane, he forgot about it, thinking of his wife and children at home, a smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.

The group walked out of Lewistown Airport, Ju An was surprised that two old men, Thomas and Lawrence, came to pick him up, walked up and said with a smile, "Didn't Er Zhuang come to pick us up, why are you two? coming".

Lawrence said with a smile: "It's not that I heard that there is a new pasture. If you want us to plan it, we will come to pick you up just in time, and then discuss to start it as soon as possible."While talking, Lawrence followed Ju An to the outside of the airport.

After leaving the airport, Nien said to Ju An, "An! We won't follow you back, we have to go to the company."

Ju An said to her lawyer and accountant, "Well, everyone has worked hard."Following Nien and the others to say hello, Juan and Leonard got into the pickup truck that Thomas drove.

As soon as I got in the car, I just drove out of the parking lot when I heard Leonard chatting with Thomas behind him: "Look, this is such a large area, I am going to plant plants first, what about housing? Think about it."

Thomas looked at the drawing, thinking without saying a word.

Ju An smiled and turned to Leonard and said, "Let's talk about it when we get home, don't rush it for a while."

Leonard said with a smile, "That's what I'm used to, so let's discuss it together at home."

The car drove to the door of the house, and Ju An walked down with her luggage. Nini and her son Ju Chi and Wang Fan's son Hu Zi had already arrived at the door to watch, and Ju An rubbed the three little heads one by one. After a while, the clockwork was scratched a few times. Today, Teddy was very quiet. He was lying in front of the house. When he saw Ju An coming back, he hummed in a low voice.

Ju An carried the suitcase into the house, saw Dinah coming up to her, and took his wife into his arms and kissed: "I'll take the luggage upstairs first, prepare some drinks for Leonard and the others, and bring it to me. In the study, we have something to discuss."

Seeing Dina nodded, Ju An carried her luggage upstairs.

He put down his luggage, went to the bathroom, washed his face, calmed himself down, and then went back to his study on the first floor. The three old men had already stood in front of Ju An's desk, and stretched their heads to look at the drawings of Kingman Ranch. By the way, it's not called Kingman Ranch, it's called Hans Ranch. Seeing the three old men standing next to the coffee without moving, he said jokingly: "You guys bought standing tickets, just sit down and watch."

"It's more difficult for the three of you to sit down and look at the drawings together, so it's better to stand and order," Lawrence said to Ju An without looking back while drawing on the drawings with his hands.

Hearing what the old man said, Ju An walked to the edge of the table and sat directly on the table with his hips tilted. Anyway, his desk was big enough, and he stretched out his head and looked at the drawings.

Thomas grabbed a pencil in the pen holder and drew on the drawing: "The easiest way to do this is to tap groundwater, but this requires the approval of the state. If the water is brought in, it is not too far from Lake Mead. It is necessary to estimate how it will be cost-effective to invest twice.”

Ju An waved his hand and said, "Don't estimate it, just tap the groundwater, and then it will be in the center of the pasture."Ju An stretched out his hand and drew a line in the middle of the valley: "If you open an artificial long lake in this place, it will be easier to fetch water yourself. If you don't have to apply for an easement from the state, wait. It's cold in the state through day lily."

Lawrence nodded and said: "That's true, but if you open the lake, you can't come down with 200 million."Ju Anshou's drawing like this would take at least a dozen acres, and digging a shallow lake would cost so much.

"Just spend what you need to spend, there's nothing to save," Ju An said with a light slap on the thigh.But I was thinking, if the lake is not opened, buddy, where can I pour the space water, I can't pour it into Lake Mead, isn't it for others to follow the benefits? Besides, this time buddy is not a long grass. The water is the water that grows thick roots. If someone else planted corn, wheat or something next to them and watered the water in the lake, they would have to cry to death. The thick stalks with roots will not grow for you. cry to death.

"Then do you want to clean up these bushes?" Leonard said to the two old cowboys Thomas and Lawrence. "These places are sparsely covered with knee-high bushes."

Thomas said with a smile: "Since it's a goat farmer, there's no need to clean it up. I'll get a few thousand goats first, hire cowboys to put them up first, and plant grass while you're at it, so there's no delay."

Ju An nodded after hearing Thomas's words.

Then Thomas used a pen to draw a long lake on the map, and then painted a line: "The lake will be opened like this, when the cowboys in the ranch can live by the lake, and build barns and stables here. , it is estimated that there is no fence around, so we need to pull a simple fence."Then he turned to look at Ju An and asked, "Is it still a four-story wooden fence?"

When Ju An heard this, he quickly waved his hand and said, "It's just the fence for Jane's answer for now."It's not so luxurious to raise cattle, and I don't know what the income of sheep is, and my buddy doesn't live there. It doesn't matter if he looks good or not, it's practical.

Thomas and Lawrence listened and smiled, then continued with Thomas, "Then we will follow you to see in two days. Only when we arrive at the scene will we know how many sheep are appropriate to raise first."

After listening to it, Ju An said, "You guys should go and have a look first. When the time is almost there, find a construction team in Kingman to start it first. I will let Nien follow the Arizona bureaucrats to apply for groundwater." .I have to run out again a few days after I came back, and my ass is still warm at home, so I won't go.

Lawrence said with a smile: "Then let's go and have a look. This time, the company of Teddy Ranch, let them draw us a blueprint of the lake, and we will discuss it later."

Seeing that there were more things to do, Ju An decided directly and said: "Don't draw any drawings of the area of ​​the small lake."After speaking, he picked up a pen and drew a long oval circle directly on the drawing on the table: "Just dig according to this drawing, calculate the area and dig five or six feet deep."Five or six feet is about 1.5 meters, which is enough.

Thomas looked at the small lake that Ju An had drawn casually and said, "How to dig this, and if you don't know whether the terrain you drew is high or low, you have to go through surveying and mapping. It's a bit too random to draw casually."

Speaking of this lake dug, Ju An remembered after hearing what Thomas said: "How did you dug the lake at Teddy Ranch?".This is not good for Lao Mei. Sometimes I don’t know how to work around it. If I put Ju An to work for others in China, and the boss draws such a picture, Ju An would have understood it long ago, and patted her chest and promised the boss to complete the task. Being a boss in the United States is a little worse than that in China. No one agrees with what you say. This is really terrible.

"The drawings from the construction company, when you arrive at your place, don't you just look at them and say it?" Thomas looked at Ju An and said with a smile.

After hearing this, Ju An scratched his head: "Then let's do it this time. It's enough to dig ten acres, and make sure there is a place to store the groundwater. The rest is up to you and Lawrence to discuss. Give me a second look."In order not to show that he was completely throwing his hands, Ju An finally added that sentence at the end.

The three old Thomases focused on the drawings, and nodded after hearing Ju An's words: "Of course, there is a budget for the fence and the building, and you can take a look at it when the time comes."

Leonard said at this time: "The pasture is in the middle of these two valleys. When I went to see it, there was still a bit of wind. Do I need to plant some trees?"After he finished speaking, he hooked his finger on the picture to indicate the wind direction he felt at the time, and then looked at Ju An. How could Ju An understand this, so he turned his head and looked at Lawrence.

Lawrence nodded and said: "This is not a big problem, there are mountains on all sides, and it is impossible for the wind to be strong. It is OK to plant some, but you have to wait for the lake to be dug and the cowboys are in place. When the time comes, plant some. Don't plant too much land for sheep."After finishing speaking, he looked at Thomas and continued: "That's roughly what it looks like."

Thomas thought for a while, and then clicked a few points on the drawing, probably counting the points to be considered. After a few seconds, the old man raised his head: "That's about it. Let's go back and think about what to add. Do you want this drawing, if not, I will take it back and look at it again.”

After hearing this, Ju An quickly waved his hand and said, "You can take it. If you still need it, I will ask the accountant to give me a copy. Charlie has an electronic version of this drawing."What do I want this thing for, you two are so capable, take it all.When the time comes, the buddies will read the budget check and pay.

After the three old men heard Ju An's words, Thomas rolled up the blueprint and held it in his hand: "Then let's go back to the pasture first."

Ju An nodded, watching the three old men leave the house, and when they returned to the study, they saw that the three cups of coffee still did not move, and thought with emotion, buddy, this year's 10,000+ is really inspiring. He praised himself vigorously, and then left the study with a few cups of cold coffee in satisfaction.
