Wang Bo comforted the old man with a few words, and the old man pulled him and started talking.
His grandfather bought this ranch during World War II. At that time, the world was in chaos and prices were low. His grandfather used ten cows and 5,000 New Zealand dollars to get 400 acres of land.
Later, with the hard work of his grandfather and his father, the ranch expanded its area and acquired surrounding land, eventually covering thousands of acres.
The ranch passed from his grandfather to his father, to him again, and then it was over. Both of his sons hate farming and animal husbandry. They like a life of entertainment and entertainment. They both went to college in the United States and later stayed in the United States.
The old man was getting older and began to miss the life of family reunion. The reason why he was willing to sell the ranch during this bad time was because his wife had just passed away this year.
The old man couldn't stand being alone in the place where his wife died, and finally decided to sell the ranch, even if it was sold at a low price.
After it was over, Wang Bo and Vince signed the contract under the witness of Leonard. The old man asked: "Which bank are you going to borrow from?"
Wang Bo said: "Cash transaction."
Vince and Leonard: "..."
The ranch he bought was pretty good. When he was preparing for the Sunday event, people kept talking to him about Wensi's ranch. In fact, there are many tycoons and wealthy people among these people, but they are now unwilling to invest in ranches.
In the words of one of the ranchers: "With that kind of money, I might as well go to Oakland and buy an apartment. Once I sell it, I can earn the money that it takes me to take care of the ranch for several years."
Mainly due to weather and economic reasons, people are reluctant to invest in animal husbandry. The South Island has been a bit dry since last year, and it will be even drier this year. No one knows what will happen next year.
Due to the global economic crisis, New Zealand's economy is in a very bad state, and the prices of agricultural and animal husbandry products have been unable to rise. Now many people's ranches are losing money, so they are unwilling to invest in land.
After the exchange, Wang Bo had some ideas. Taking advantage of the current wave of price cuts for farms and ranches in New Zealand, he couldn't buy a bunch of them himself and buy dozens of his ranches.
Although New Zealand has many large ranches, they are still dominated by small and medium-sized ranches. After all, the country has a limited area and it is impossible to have super ranches covering tens of thousands of square kilometers like the United States and Australia.
In the South Island, many pastures are only tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of square meters, which is equivalent to a few hectares or tens of hectares. If you want to convert it into square kilometers, it will be even smaller. It is only a few tenths or a few tenths. square kilometers.
As long as such a ranch is not a land bank, the price is not high, especially now that the farm and ranch market is in a downturn, it is even cheaper.
His plan is to sell it to Asian immigrants in the future. Most Asian immigrants have a land sentiment, and many immigrants are very rich, so it should be a good business.
However, this kind of investment is of a professional nature. He has to go back and ask the overbearing president for advice. He cannot do it alone.
On Sunday, the carnival begins.
The so-called carnival is to give everyone a leisure opportunity to get to know each other, enhance feelings, and enhance connections. Therefore, the activities are organized individually and are in the nature of small groups.
Fiordland National Park is located on the high mountain fault where the Pacific Plate and the Australian and Indian Ocean Plate meet. The unique landscape here is diverse, including fjords, rocky coasts, cliffs, alpine lakes and numerous waterfalls.
Therefore, there are many activities that can be carried out, such as mountain climbing, rafting, fishing, camping, etc., which are more relaxed and vacation-oriented. This is the theme of this year’s carnival. Last year it was gambling, and everyone went to the Auckland Casino.
The light rain that lasted all day ended in the early morning. Wang Bo chose to climb the mountain in a team with Motak, Leonard and others.
After having breakfast in the morning and preparing their luggage, they started their mountain climbing trip.
We were going to stay in the mountains for a few days this time, so everyone in the group, men, women, old and young, carried heavy luggage. Wang Bo carried two tents and tools such as stoves and pots, and his backpack weighed more than 50 kilograms.
The Big Fatty and the Second Fatty also carried small bags on their backs, as if they had explosive bags strapped to their bodies. Their backpacks contained small items such as sunscreen and mosquito repellent.
Wang Bo and Eva walked at the back of the team, holding hands and chatting softly as they walked.
The forest was full of birds chirping and insects chirping, and wild flowers would appear on the roadside from time to time. After the fat cat brothers were quiet for a while, they climbed up the mountain with their short legs.
This time their goal was New Zealand's largest alpine lake, named Lake Manapouri, which means "Sad Lake" in Maori. This lake is surrounded by mountains and has a large area of nearly 200 square kilometers and a length of about 200 square kilometers. 29 kilometers, with the deepest point reaching 443 meters.
It is said that the lake is beautiful from the top of the mountain, and their goal is to climb to the top of the mountain where they can overlook Heartbreak Lake and then stop and camp.
Wang Bo followed them all the way, but because Eva had to go back to work tomorrow, they would stop at noon, then set up camp and rest. At dawn, they chose to go down the mountain and send Eva away.
There are 25 species of rare or endangered plants in the Fiordland National Park, 22 species of plants unique to the park, and 21 species of plants with extremely small distribution areas and concentrated in the fjord area.
Among them, two-thirds of the area here is covered with original beech and podocarpus forests. This is the kind of tree they saw most on the road, but after climbing for a while, Rimu pine began to appear.
In the Rimu pine dense forest, many animals and birds live here, including many kinds of squirrels.
No one would disturb these animals, but the Fat Cat Brotherhood, the two of them were very naughty. After spotting a squirrel, they immediately chased after it.
The squirrels originally saw that Big Fat and Big Fat had short legs, fat bodies, and things tied to their bodies, so they didn't take them seriously.
But then, they understood a truth, that is, they should not underestimate their opponents at any time.
It is true that rabbits are not good at running on flat ground, but they are good at climbing over mountains and ridges! Especially in the dense forest, you can run and jump in any way, and you can move forward and backward as fast as the wind!
Erpang climbed up a big pine tree. Wang Bo was worried that it would fall down at first, but it turned out that it was very agile. After climbing up, it chased a squirrel and jumped like a dog. Finally, it ran back with a dying squirrel in its mouth. red squirrel.
When he ran to Wang Bo, he opened his mouth and released the little squirrel. The little squirrel tried hard to get up and run away, but the fat man immediately went up and slapped it to the ground with a proud expression on its face.
Eva lifted it to let the little squirrel limp away. If it wasn't for food, there was no need to hurt these little animals.
Then the big fat man also ran out with something in his mouth. When he saw the squirrel limping away, he rolled his eyes and put down the prey in his mouth.
