Top of the big era

The United States is the world's largest market. With domestic overcapacity, selling domestic products to the United States has become what many domestic entrepreneurs need to do.

It is conceivable that many entrepreneurs, large, medium and small, will come to the United States for inspection in the future.

When some well-known, acquainted, or friends-introduced entrepreneurs come over, Zhou Buqi should always do some landlord-friendly business and warmly entertain them.

It's easy to talk to Lao Zhang, Lao Ma, and Lao Liu. They are all buddies. They can entertain you casually. It's okay if you don't take them home. But when some people with less close connections came over, Zhou Buqi refused to take it home even if he was dead... This seemed a bit contemptuous of others.

Just like Teacher Wen said, there really should be a place for hospitality and entertaining!

Senior Sister Zhen Yu’s choice is a good one.

Get a big ranch.

It's like a safari park.

You can drive an off-road vehicle to fly here without restrictions, and you can also go hunting with a shotgun. You can also build a horse farm here, and whoever likes to ride horses can run all the way on the grassland.

This combines hospitality, life, food, tourism, and local experience.

There are actually more ways to play in the United States. For example, you can buy several small planes. Each plane only costs hundreds of thousands of dollars, not much more expensive than a car.

When guests come, they can fly a small plane around the farm or pasture, and quickly feel the landscape of the entire farm.

Rich people here in America are crazy.

Especially Silicon Valley.

Some billionaires have bought a luxury private jet... They drive themselves to and from get off work every day, and their daily work and life are full of speed and passion.

This is somewhat difficult for domestic entrepreneurs.

Zhou Buqi couldn't accept it either.

If nothing else, he really didn't dare to get on a small, swaying plane that could only accommodate two people.

Fortunately, he is the richest man in the world and he has money.

If you want to go to the sky and enjoy the scenery of the entire ranch from an aerial perspective, you can take a helicopter ride. This thing is much more reliable and will be driven by professional pilots. It just costs a little more money.

Zhou Buqi agreed with this idea, "Well, I think it's okay, tourism on private land."

Zhen Yu said with a smile: "Isn't that what many private landlords do? After purchasing the land, they make some improvements and build golf clubs, spas, resorts, etc."

Aunt Xue couldn't help but ask: "Will it be expensive?"

Zhen Yu said softly: "It's not expensive. There are three pieces in total. Each piece costs more than 10 million US dollars. If we integrate it and buy the state-owned territory in the middle from the federation, the total cost is estimated to be about 40 million US dollars."

Aunt Xue was surprised, "Buy land from the US federal government? Will they agree?"

Zhen Yu smiled and said: "Yes, now only 28% of the land in the United States is owned by the federal government, and most of it has been bought by the rich."

"Why is this happening?"

“Because the rich can manage the land better and create greater value.”

"this……"

Aunt Xue was stunned, it was really hard to understand.

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "For the same thing, if a state-owned enterprise earns 1 yuan, a private enterprise may generate a value of 100 yuan. In the long run, the U.S. federal government will definitely continue to sell land."

Aunt Xue didn't quite understand and said, "Oh, sell the land to pay off the debt. The U.S. national debt is quite scary."

Xue Baoshan said softly: "Mom, selling land is not to pay off debts, but to promote local economic development. Bill Gates is the largest farmer in the United States because Bill Gates can improve farming from a technical level, which is even greater to increase crop yields.”

Zhen Yu said: "There are no restrictions on the sale of private land in the United States. Rich people from all over the world can buy it. These people mainly consider economic factors when buying land."

This was also surprising to Zhou Buqi, "Can you make money?"

Zhen Yu said with a smile: "Yes, you can make money, and it is a very stable income. Bill Gates is the largest farmer in the United States because his investment team found that agriculture is a good investment project, and it can make a fixed income every year." With an output of 6%-9%, the income is even higher than that of national bonds, and the growth rate is similar to that of the S\u0026P 500 Index.”

Zhou Buqi said: "There is also the long-term appreciation of the land!"

Zhen Yu nodded lightly, "Well, the value of land is more stable. When the economic situation is bad, the value of land will not be lost, but will increase. And when inflation is on the rise, assets such as traditional stocks and real estate will usually suffer losses. , while inherent land tends to provide more stable returns that are not affected by inflation. Agriculture provides financial stability in uncertain times and has a significant ability to hedge against inflation. The advantage of the agricultural industry is that it is not affected by the economic environment Or the influence of other social factors, it is the unique power of crops to influence society."

"Where's the ranch?"

"The pasture is similar. The main output of the pasture will be beef and mutton, as well as milk and goat milk. The stability of the pasture is not as good as that of the farm. Diseases sometimes occur, and the storage of milk is also risky. However, the output of the pasture is higher, and a lot of After many years of management and scientific management, the annual income of dairy farms can easily exceed 10%."

"I go……"

Zhou Buqi finally saw the power of agricultural products.

Zhen Yu chuckled and said, "However, this is not the most profitable way."

Zhou Buqi said: "It's mining. Minerals are discovered under the land and they are mined immediately."

Zhen Yu said: "Now that the detection industry is so developed, it is no longer possible to buy land rich in minerals. It has been bought by major mining companies. The more profitable model is forestry and wood logging."

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Does this need to be certified by the state?"

Zhen Yu has obviously done a good job, "Well, we just can't damage the ecology, we have to plant trees while logging. However, this kind of business is very dangerous, and it's hard to find lumberjacks here in the United States. We also need to hire Specialized foresters must identify which trees are protected and must not be cut down, which is not as easy to operate as agriculture and animal husbandry."

Wen Zhixia asked softly: "But we bought a farm, how are we going to run it? Are we going to hire farmers?"

Zhen Yu chuckled and said: "No, the United States has very mature industrial supporting facilities. After buying the land, it directly cooperates with the relevant agricultural companies. 40% of the farmers in the United States cultivate other people's land. The vast majority Most wealthy people buy farms as investments."

Wen Zhixia asked: "Contracting to agricultural companies like you said?"

Zhen Yu pursed her lips and said: "Yes, what farmers earn is the salary they receive from agricultural companies. What agricultural companies earn is money from selling agricultural products. What farmers earn is the rent rented to agricultural companies. The same is true for ranches. The sale of agricultural products is a very complicated matter, so now many farmers who own land, like those in Texas, will also rent their land to agricultural companies, and large agricultural companies will coordinate and manage it scientifically. Farmers, on the other hand, Go work for an agricultural company, earn rent and receive a salary, and you don’t have to worry about the future sales of agricultural products.”

Zhou Buqi was quite emotional.

He once paid attention to domestic agriculture, but it was difficult to promote it, not only due to policy restrictions, local relations, complex geographical environment, but also his entrepreneurial mentality.

A few decades ago, it was always popular in China to learn whatever experience and spirit were needed. It is good to learn from Dazhai in agriculture. Another thing to learn is that agriculture should learn from the experience of sewage irrigation.

There is a water shortage in a place. In order to save water resources, the local area uses industrial sewage and domestic sewage to irrigate farmland. Later, I was surprised to find that with the nourishment of some special nutrients, the grain grew particularly well and the yield was bumper.

Then he was established as a model and the whole country learned from him.

The result is heavy metal contamination of soil that is difficult to treat for hundreds of years.

If Zhou Buqi wants to do agriculture, he must do it with a clear conscience, which greatly limits his hands and feet... He can't buy or rent a large farmland that satisfies him even if he wants to.

There is nothing we can do. We can only be like the leaders, find a remote and clean place with peace of mind, and be self-sufficient in getting some special food for Ziweixing.

I am powerless and can't control much.

The United States is the largest country in agriculture, and everyone says agriculture should learn from the United States.

After understanding it, you realize that there is no way to learn it.

This gap is far larger than the gap in high-tech fields.

Zhou Buqi agreed with Senior Sister Zhen Yu's idea and immediately decided, "That's it. It doesn't cost much. It's still a good investment project to start up our family's ranch."

Wen Zhixia said softly: "Well, I think it's okay."

Xue Baoshan smiled and said: "I agree."

Naturally, Ning Yaxian and Aunt Xue would not object.

Zhen Yu then asked: "After buying the land, do you need to re-plan it?"

"What plan?"

"Now there are three plots, two are farms and one is pasture. If we buy it, we can change the use of the land and use the farm to build houses."

"It's not necessary..." Zhou Buqi was unsure and turned to look at her, "What do you think?"

Zhen Yu chuckled and said: "I think we should keep the status quo. By connecting the two farms, farming will be more convenient. We can outsource it. On the pasture, I think we can set aside a piece of land to build some tourist facilities... like It's like a resort. Many rich people have bought land. In addition to agriculture, animal husbandry, forestry, and mining, they will also develop tourism. Just like the famous Blackberry Ranch, it provides leisure accommodation services and is a combination of ranch and vacation services. It is a super-large ranch hotel. There is also La Puerta Ranch, whose biggest feature is that it provides the most attractive SPA services.”

"La Puerta?" Zhou Buqi shook his head, "I've heard that it seems to be even more extreme than the Wan-style service. There are many underage girls working there. Who invited me last time? Well, I didn’t agree.”

Zhen Yu said: "If we don't provide it, we can modify it appropriately. It will not be made public and is only used by our family to entertain guests. We can also supply it with fresh milk."

"Year of the Ox?" Zhou Buqi shook his head again, "Milk is what cows drink. I don't drink it. I have lactose intolerance... It's okay to use it to entertain guests."

"Um?"

Zhen Yu glanced at him with some warning.

Baoshan next to him looked at him angrily.

Opposite her, Ning Yaxian pursed her lips and laughed, while Wen Zhixia's face turned red. They have all given birth to children for Zhou Buqi. While breastfeeding the child, the father will naturally not miss it.
