Fairy Gourd Farm

Chapter 908 The Strangeness of the Ranch

Just looking at Mark's expression, Zhao Lei knew there must be something weird, so he said with a smile, "Is there something wrong with the environment of the ranch? Is it polluted? Or is it some other trouble?"

Mark quickly said to Zhao Lei: "The environment of the ranch is absolutely fine, I can guarantee this! I live not far from here, and I have a four-year-old daughter at home. If the environment is polluted, I will not let it Family lives nearby!"

Zhao Lei looked at Mark with a half-smile and said, "But the reactions of other people are not fake, can you explain it to me?"

Mark seemed to be struggling, but after a moment of hesitation, he nodded slightly and said, "You're right, the ranch is indeed troublesome, I...I can't lie to you!"

Mark's honest attitude made Zhao Lei have a good impression of him, and said with a smile: "Then tell me, I'll listen."

"Over the past year or so, various strange things have often happened on the ranch." Mark said to Zhao Lei in a deep voice: "At the beginning, some cattle and sheep died inexplicably, and gradually the number increased, and... and the ways of death were very strange. Strange! All the dead animals were just a small wound on the neck, and all the blood was gone, as if they had been sucked dry!"

In fairness, Zhao Lei immediately thought of the word "vampire" when he heard Mark's words.But after thinking about it, it seemed impossible, so he asked him again: "So everyone thinks it's the work of vampires? If that's the case, why don't you move? Didn't you say you live nearby? Aren't you afraid of vampires?"

Mark shook his head and said: "All the strange things happened within the range of the Red Rock Ranch, to be precise...all within 500 meters of that red rock. And only cattle and sheep died, not even horses and dogs There are things, let alone people. So everyone just thinks that the Red Stone Ranch is no longer suitable for grazing, and it is not a threat to people."

Then Mark told Zhao Lei that in recent months, new strange things happened in Redstone Ranch.It is also the big rock at the gate of the ranch, which often makes a "rumbling" sound at night, and also has strange patterns.

There is a series of bloody handprints extending from the bottom of the rock to the high place, as if something is struggling to crawl out from under the rock.Moreover, the cattle and sheep in the pasture are often frightened, as if they are afraid of something.

This made Wolfe, the owner of the ranch, very disturbed, and dared not live here again.He sold all his cattle and sheep, moved to live in the city, and at the same time advertised that he planned to sell the pasture as well.

Hearing what Mark said, Zhao Lei couldn't help but ask him: "Even the owner of the ranch has moved away, do you still feel comfortable letting your family live nearby?"

Mark shrugged and said, "All the strange things happened within the range of the ranch, and the people nearby should be safe. As long as you don't come to the ranch at night, I will go back before the sun goes down, but this matter has already spread in the town gone."

Hearing this, Zhao Lei finally understood why those people in the bar had such expressions when they heard that they were going to buy the ranch. It turns out that the ranch is indeed a bit weird.

But speaking of it, Zhao Lei has encountered a lot of strange things since he got Zijin Gourd.It can be said that if you want to choose the person who is least afraid of weird things in the world, Zhao Lei will definitely be ranked in the top ten.

More importantly, Zhao Lei is very satisfied with the environment of the Red Stone Ranch, especially the river with plenty of water, which can not only feed the livestock, but also irrigate the vegetable fields, which is just specially prepared for him.So Zhao Lei didn't hesitate too much, and immediately decided to buy the Red Stone Ranch as long as the price was right!
After returning to Columbus Town, Zhao Lei told Lewis about his plan.

After hearing Zhao Lei's decision, Lewis immediately whispered: "Mr. Zhao, I think it's better for you to be more cautious. I've asked someone about it. It is said that many strange things have happened in the Red Stone Ranch over the past year. That's why ranchers are desperate to sell the land."

Zhao Lei smiled and said: "Your work efficiency is quite high, it seems that you haven't been idle for half a day."

Lewis said sternly: "As a lawyer, of course, he must be responsible for the interests of his clients. This is a matter of professional ethics."

"I appreciate your professionalism." Zhao Lei nodded and said, "But I've already made up my mind. Let's contact the owner of the ranch and tell him that I'm interested in Redstone Ranch. As for whether the deal can be made in the end, it depends on what he proposes." condition."

As a lawyer, what Lewis can do is to tell the client all the information. As for how to do it, of course, Zhao Lei has to decide for himself.

Now that Zhao Lei has said so, Lewis is not talking nonsense, and immediately contacted Toto Wolf, the current owner of Redstone Ranch.The latter knew that someone was interested in Redstone Ranch, and was very happy, and soon came from Houston to meet Zhao Lei.

Wolfe is a tall and thin middle-aged man. Although he looks cheerful with a smile, there is a cunning gleam in his eyes from time to time.

Unexpectedly, it was an oriental person who was interested in the ranch. Wolf was taken aback for a moment at first, but he quickly greeted Zhao Lei with a smile on his face, looking very enthusiastic.

After exchanging pleasantries, Wolfe began to introduce the advantages of Redstone Ranch incessantly.For example, it covers a large area, the land is fertile, the water source is sufficient, the facilities such as livestock sheds are well maintained, etc. In short, describing Redstone Ranch as the best ranch in the United States, the implication is that Zhao Lei can buy Redstone The ranch is definitely lucky.

In the end, Wolfe said with a smile on his face: "A total of 500 acres of fertile land and sufficient water sources are yours for only [-] million US dollars. This deal is really a bargain!"

In all fairness, what Wolfe said was the truth, at most it was a bit exaggerated.If Mark hadn't revealed the inside story, Zhao Lei would really feel that he had taken advantage of buying Redstone Ranch.

But of course Zhao Lei doesn't think so now, he just looked at Wolfe with a half-smile and said, "Mr. Wolfe, although I have a good impression of Redstone Ranch, the price of 500 million US dollars is too high Already!"

Wolff frowned tightly as if he had been insulted, and said, "Mr. Zhao, you are wrong to say that. I am an honest person, and the price I offered was very reasonable, no, it should even be said to be cheap! You can go around and inquire about it, the price is definitely not high."

Lewis whispered in Zhao Lei's ear in time: "The average price of nearby pastures is 390 dollars per acre, and the price of Redstone Ranch is [-] dollars."

Zhao Lei nodded lightly, and then said to Wolff with a half-smile: "This price is indeed not high for a 'normal' ranch, but are you sure that the Redstone Ranch is normal?"
