Chapter 229 My Farm

Coan.

It is a small town in the Great Lakes region in the northern part of the United States. It is less than 20 kilometers north to the Canadian region.

Although environmental pollution on the east and west coasts of the United States is relatively serious, the environment in the Great Lakes region in the north is generally good.

Of course, this means now!

If you push forward for decades, the Great Lakes that the American people are proud of are simply a stinking ditch that everyone dislikes.For this reason, the American federal government has spent tens of billions of dollars, and after more than ten years of governance, has the Great Lakes rejuvenated.

"Boss, this farm of yours is really beautiful, and the location is also very good, with Lake Ontario to the east, Lake Michigan to the west, and a large forest to the south, and it occupies a large area."

Alexander stood in the soybean field and couldn't help sighing.

The 500-acre farm is really not too small, about 2.03 million square meters

The area of ​​a football field is only 7,140 square meters.

And Zucker’s farm is equivalent to the area of ​​284 football fields.

"The area is really not small, especially this large forest, which is completely a good place for hunting. Howell is an authentic Texan. Since I was young, I followed my grandfather and father into the woods to hunt."

Howell, male, 52 years old, with a big beard, Texan, currently serves as the manager of this farm owned by Zucker.

"Yes."

In his bones, Zhu Ke, who is still a man of the great dynasty, valued the land very much.

Well, this is the plot of the land!

At this time, John Lasseter, who came to play with Zhuke, was a little bit unhappy.

Lasseter looked at the endless soybean fields in front of him and said, "Zuke, the farm you bought is really a bit expensive. It is said that you spent 12 million US dollars."

When the voice fell, everyone around nodded.

The price is a bit expensive!

You know that in the western region of the United States, a 500-acre farm, if calculated according to the relative standard planting area, lake area, pasture area, forest and mountain area, you can pick it anywhere from 6 to 8 million dollars!

If it's just a farm covering a few acres, the price will never exceed 300,000 US dollars, or even tens of thousands of US dollars.

If the land is barren and sparsely populated, the price will be lower.

For example, the total price of a 2000-acre farm in Wyoming, USA will not exceed 4 million US dollars.

On the other hand, the farm in front of Zhuke, covering 500 acres, cost 12 million US dollars.

The price gap is not generally big!

"Zuke, I remember that the overall price of farms in this area should not be high. You know, the Great Lakes region is not a good place to develop planting, after all, this place is too cold." Lasseter said again.

Everyone around again nodded together.

The temperature in the Great Lakes region is subject to the influence of ocean currents, monsoons, and high latitudes. The temperature in autumn and winter is very low.

The latitude of Mohe Town in the northernmost part of the Great Tian Dynasty is 53.5 degrees north latitude;

The latitude of this farm currently owned by Zhu Ke is also 51.2 degrees north latitude;

People can freeze to death in winter!

Such climatic conditions are very unfavorable for the growth of plants, which also contributed to the scarcity of farms in the Great Lakes region of the United States.

"Lasseter, Alexander, I am not a loss-making business."

Zhu Ke pointed to the forests and lakes in the distance, and said, "In addition to the 500-acre farm, that huge forest is mine. Many of the animals and plants in it are protected species and very rare. If I didn’t Know some ways, let alone the price of 12 million U.S. dollars, even if the price is 20 million U.S. dollars, the local government may not change hands."

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

Howell, the bearded old man of the farm manager, explained to them the precious animals and plants in this forest.

American moose, bears, wolves, and foxes...

There are often American minks, water monkeys and beavers in the lake.

Occasionally, you can also see the extremely rare bison.

"Everyone, everyone should know that the Great Lakes region is rich in mineral resources. The Appalachian Mountains to the east are the most important coal field in the United States, and its reserves account for half of the country. The west and south of Lake Superior are the United States. The most important iron ore deposits account for about 80% of the country’s reserves."

"And this farm of Mr. Wald also contains a lot of coal and iron ore underground, and the price will not be low."

With Howell’s introduction, Lasseter, Alexander and others have a simple understanding of Zucker’s farm.

There are many underground mines, which also means that there is not much land suitable for agricultural planting.

however.......

For Zhu Ke, who is now an astonishing net worth, how can he care about a little agricultural income?

How many soybeans and potatoes can the profit of a movie be worth?!

........

In the evening of the day.

Zhuke, Lasseter, and Alexander enjoyed a very rich dinner in a main villa on the farm.

Beef, mutton, fish and shrimp, etc. are delicious, but they are not bought from outside. They are produced on our own farm, which is pure natural and pollution-free.

Extremely delicious!

"Boss, I have roughly planned the itinerary for tomorrow. Would you like to listen to it first?" said the bearded Howell.

Zhuke nodded: "Yes."

Alexander also agreed: "You should be able to ride a horse tomorrow, but I saw a lot of good horses today."

Lasseter also laughed and said, "I haven't hunted for many years, but tomorrow we can go boating and fishing, which is great."

Other people around also echoed and thought about it.

A farm with a huge area, with forests, mountains, lakes, swamps... there are so many places to visit.

Zhuke is still very satisfied with having a farm.

Of course, Zucker’s favorite is the island in one of the Bahamas less than 200 kilometers from New York.

—— Venezuelan (White Pearl) Island,

For it, Zhuke spent 42 million US dollars.

Moreover, the climate of White Pearl Island is very pleasant, but the winter in the Great Lakes Farm is not as long and cold as it is almost always spring and summer.

However, Zhuke, whose cash flow is tight, now has no extra money to build an island.

"Don't worry, don't worry, wait for more than a year, but it will be 2000, when the Internet bubble burst, I can get a wave of fat when I say, will I still be short of money?"

For large toys like islands, not to mention Zhuke likes it, anyone in the world will like it.

Had it not been for the absence of development and construction of the White Pearl Island, Zhu Ke would already be enjoying the sun, beaches, and bikinis at this time.

........

at the same time.

Pixar Animation in Los Angeles, Jobs as the boss at the moment, is speaking to everyone, preparing for the "Bug Crisis" to be released soon.

"what?"

Jobs talked for a long time, and suddenly found that his right-hand man, John Lasseter, was not here.

"Andrew, why didn't Lasseter come to the meeting today? You know, "The Bug Crisis" movie, he and Andrew co-directed you, is he sick and asked for leave?"

Although Jobs is arrogant, he still cares about his right-hand man John Lasseter.

sick?

For a while, everyone present looked strange.

"Boss, Lasseter should be in the Great Lakes area now. He accepted Zhuke's invitation to visit the new farm." Andrew whispered.

"..."

At this moment, Jobs almost went mad: "It's Zhuke, the bastard again, why is he everywhere?!"

"" The second update is sent.
