Chapter 8 My Ranch
In the morning, Ju An woke up, lay on the bed, turned on the TV, switched channels one by one, and watched a nonsense TV series about a transgender killer, which made it really boring to watch.

Unexpectedly, the United States also has such nonsense TV series. I thought that the United States would make some "Prison Break", "24 Hours of Anti-Terrorism" and the like.

Then I changed the channel and just saw "Spartak Blood and Sand" playing. Although I watched it on the domestic Internet, Ju An still watched it with relish. What attracted Ju An was that the actresses were all beautiful. Moreover, there are also many ooxx shots, which are basically considered a third-level film, but there are more bloody scenes than the third-level film, such as the scene where the knife slashes the neck and the blood spurts out. Ann is the mentality of this sullen half-otaku.

After dawdling and eating breakfast, it was after nine o'clock. After cleaning up a little, I made a phone call to the front desk. When I went out, the car was already downstairs.The black Cadillac, the driver in a suit and tie, opened the door for Ju An.

Arrived at the bank in ten minutes, under the guidance of a blonde beauty, entered the VIP reception room, confirmed the account, took the check book from the manager, and then transferred 200 million to senior brother Liu Chao, waiting to send myself out At that moment, it felt like the blond beauty seemed to smile even sweeter.

Next, I found a place to eat, and called Brother Liu Chao by the way, telling him that the money had already been transferred.Ask him to check it, Liu Chao told him on the phone that the contract has been prepared, about how many shares Ju'an invested 200 million, it is best for Ju'an to find a lawyer, and sign it when Liu Chao passes by in a few days, Ju'an Just say it loudly and take a look. Our brothers are still doing this, but Liu Chao disagrees, saying that it is better to make it formal, so Ju An has no choice but to let him go.

In the afternoon, I went to the immigration office. The immigration officer verified the assets with the bank, and then mumbled to the Stars and Stripes for more than ten minutes to solve the problem. Now I have to apply for a visa to the Chinese embassy when I go back to China.

Next, according to the appointment time a few days ago, Mike drove a car to take a simple road test. Ju An felt that it was much simpler than the domestic road test, that is, stop, turn on the turn signal, brake, etc., and it went smoothly. I passed the road test and got my driver's license.

By the time we got back to the hotel, it was past [-]pm.

Not long after entering the room, the phone rang. The head office said that a real estate agent had come to see him. Ju An thought that it must be someone from the holding brokerage company of Wells Fargo Bank.

Then I saw a real estate agent in his 50s, who eloquently introduced nearly 20 ranches, large and small, ranging from a few hundred acres to more than a dozen to 1 acres, and the prices ranged from hundreds of thousands to more than [-] million US dollars.

Ju An watched it in detail for a long time, and then asked some questions. Basically, are there any mountains, whether the pastures are more flat or mountainous, not far from the town, and the inconvenience of living.

In the end, three ranches were delineated, one with more than 1 acres in Texas, and the other two in Montana with one with more than 4 acres and the other with 4000 acres.The latter two ranches cost more than 3000 million U.S. dollars, and the asking price of the former one is more than [-] million U.S. dollars.

In the next few days, the economy took two people to accompany Ju An to fly around. First, they went to Texas. After seeing the ranch, Ju An was really dissatisfied with the weather. I heard that summer is basically over 40 degrees and above, and the whole is hotter than Jiangnan Stove. Juan doesn't like this kind of weather, so I just crossed it out.

Next, the group came to Montana again. After getting off the plane, Ju An liked it a bit. The air here is indescribably fresh, and the temperature is only ten degrees. Ju An is not afraid of cold but heat.The broker explained that Montana is a well-known wealth week in the United States and the land of the sky. There is basically no heavy industry, mainly agriculture, and some mining. The natural environment is very well preserved, including Yellowstone Park, Glacier Park and various natural environments. Not to mention the air in the forest reserve. Now many rich people are buying pastures here.

The two ranches are almost the same size. One of them is far from the city and about an hour's drive from the airport. However, the ranch is well built and has a small professional equestrian training ground.

The other one is relatively close to the airport, a half-hour drive away from the airport.There is no equestrian training ground, and the building is also good. The two-story brick-concrete building is beautifully hidden among several large cedar trees and American red maples.Next to it are two long one-story workers' houses, which can accommodate more than a dozen workers. The entire building is located on a small mound several meters high. Not far below is a stable that can accommodate more than [-] horses. Large round wooden barn.Next to the barn is a large warehouse, and there is a large flower house not far from the warehouse.The broker introduced that there were originally several pickup trucks, more than a dozen all-terrain vehicles, a tractor and some lawn mowers, balers and other machines.Now there is only one tractor, lawn mower, and baler left.Anyway, these things will have to be bought new in the future.

Then Ju An bargained with the agent, from the initial 700 million to 300 million, a one-time payment.Next, the broker begins drafting the agreement.

Juan called the best law firm in Montana directly and asked a lawyer to look over the documents for him.The prepayment cost more than 5000 U.S. dollars, and the lawyer charges [-] U.S. dollars an hour. No wonder American lawyers make a lot of money.What a big vampire.

The lawyers from both sides arrived in Lewistown the next day. The ranch Ju An selected was half an hour's drive away from Lewistown. The two lawyers studied the contracts one by one, but Ju An and the real estate agent were free. , The two lawyers read the contract one by one for several hours, made several phone calls and asked some questions, and finally confirmed that there was no problem, so they signed it under the witness of the two lawyers.Then Ju An wrote a check, and Ju An completely owned the [-] acres of land under the Juwu Mountain, and the new Xishuihe Ranch was born.

The rest of the matter is completely handled by his own lawyer, and when these are dealt with, the day will pass.Ju An looked at the sky and decided not to go back to the ranch today. The real estate agent left today and gave a card with the address of the Lewistown car dealer on it. You can buy a car here.

The next morning, Ju An first went to the Lewistown Vehicle Management Office and changed the New York driver's license to the Montana driver's license.

I got my driver's license very quickly, but in fact, I changed a book.I don't know how Lao Mei did it, and I'm not afraid of trouble. Actually, the driver's license is not universal, which is much worse than that in China.

After leaving the vehicle management office, after walking a few steps, I arrived at the car dealer indicated on the card.In fact, the entire population of Lewiston is only over 5000, which is not even as good as the county seat where Ju’an’s parents live. In China, it is at best the posture of a small township government. In Montana, Lewiston is the county seat.

As soon as he entered the car dealership, a young man in a cowboy hat warmly received him. When Ju An said that he took out a card and stated his intention, the young man ran over and said a few words to the manager of the store. .

The manager of the store was a white man in his fifties with a big beard.After listening to the young man's introduction, he enthusiastically came out and shook hands with Ju An, and then introduced the vehicle to Ju An in person.

"Ann, the most important thing you need for ranch work is a pickup truck. We are here for a Ford pickup truck. There are f150, f450, and if you need it, you can also book an f650 with us."

"I'm going to buy an f150 first and use it for normal use," Ju An said, looking at the dark blue Ford pickup in front.

"We have two-door and four-door versions in stock here. Let me tell you, this car is dark blue, we also have three colors, yellow, and white, if you want the matte paint that is popular today It will take three days." The owner said.

"Well, can I take a test drive?" Ju An said.

"Of course, I'll get the keys," the shopkeeper said, turning around and walking into the office.

Next, Ju An drove the car. The owner sat next to him and introduced the leather seats, the good handling, the engine displacement, and so on.

After driving for a while, Ju An felt very satisfied. There was a lot of space, and his 1.7-meter-eight head was still nearly two punches away from the roof of the car.And the operation is quite flexible, basically you don't feel that you are manipulating a pickup truck.

Then I bought an all-terrain vehicle here, that is, a four-wheeled motorcycle. It cost a total of 150 just a little bit, which is also connected to the car insurance.The domestic Ford f60 actually sells for a minimum of more than 25 yuan. Here, it is [-] US dollars, which means that the top configuration version has a low configuration of [-] US dollars, and the synthetic RMB is less than [-] yuan.
