Chapter 228 Playing Differently from Others

"Boss, Pietro is in trouble."

Metsis was well-informed and soon found out about this.

Jiang Ning pretended not to know: "What bad luck has happened?"

Metsis said, "That guy's pasture also had strange things happen to it, and it was even more incredible than other farms. It takes a process for grass or crops to die in other farms, which takes about a week, but the grass in Pietro's three pastures all died overnight. This is simply incredible."

Jiang Ning was surprised: "Is it true?"

Metsis said: "Of course it is true. The news has spread."

Jiang Ning gloated over the misfortune: "It's what he deserves. This is so comforting."

But Metsis was not happy: "Boss, I don't know what happened in the past two years. Weird and incredible things always happen. I hope such things don't happen on our ranch."

"I won't be that unlucky, don't worry!"

Jiang Ning was not worried at all. How could he be worried?

Metsis temporarily suppressed his worries and said, "I visited Mr. Freed yesterday."

Jiang Ning asked: "Any results?"

Metsis said, "The Fried family is planning to sell the three farms in Lufkin, which have approximately 2.35 acres of land. However, last year's winter wheat is about to mature, and the Fried family is asking for a higher price, $ million for the three farms."

Jiang Ning calculated: "One acre is more than 2000 US dollars?"

"About $2120 an acre," said Metsis.

Jiang Ning thought for a moment and said, "Please make an appointment and I'll go over and take a look tomorrow."

"Good boss!"

Metsis agreed and went to make a phone call to make an appointment.

The next day, the two flew a helicopter from the farm to Lufkin.

When I arrived at the farm, I didn't see Fried himself.

The farm manager received the two and took them on a tour.

The Fried family owned more than one million acres of land and was a true landowner.

Compared with these big landlords, Jiang Ning is indeed a little inferior.

The land owned is less than 100,000 acres.

The three farms were connected together, separated by a section of hills where wheat could not be grown.

99% of the land is endless plains.

From this point of view alone, Americans are indeed blessed.

There is also a river running through the farm, and water resources are abundant.

The only trouble was that the wheat yield was too low.

Without government subsidies, growing wheat is basically unprofitable.

It’s good as long as you don’t lose money.

In fact, not only my hometown has agricultural subsidies, but the United States also has them. If it were not for government subsidies, some American farmers who grow crops such as wheat, corn and soybeans would have lost money and gone bankrupt. The reason is simple: the yield is too low. Take wheat for example.

Farmers in my hometown all work on a small scale and intensively. Although the cost is relatively high, the yield is also high.

The wheat yield per acre can be as high as 800 to 900 kilograms or even over a thousand kilograms.

The Americans can’t do that because the labor costs are too high.

Farming is entirely dependent on machinery, and seven or eight acres of land can produce tens of thousands of acres.

What is this concept.

Basically, the wheat is planted, and usually the most we do is spray some pesticides and water it.

It is completely extensive farming and intensive farming is impossible.

The yield per mu is about 400 kilograms, only half of that in my hometown.

The only advantage is that because of the large-scale use of machinery instead of manpower, the planting cost in the United States is very low. The planting cost per acre of wheat is less than fifty US dollars, which is much lower than in my hometown. As long as the yield can be increased, the land can grow gold.

Ok!

That's bullshit.

As long as the yield increases, selling grass will make money.

Looking down from the sky in a helicopter, the farm is lush green.

The winter wheat planted last winter is growing well, with the wind blowing into waves of wheat.

It looks like it will be ready for harvest in another month.

Didn't leave at night.

Jiang Ning went out for a long walk and went back to sleep for a while until almost dawn.

When we returned to the ranch, Feng Yu and Feng Xue had gone out to purchase supplies and had not returned yet.

The two took their daughter to the supermarket in the small town and bought a bunch of things.

She stayed in Australia for one month and Meilijian for two months.

Feng Yu could barely communicate with foreigners.

It's all forced by the environment.

He also applied for a learner driver's license and would go for a stroll in the town with Feng Xue and their daughter from time to time.

But the ranch is too big, and it is more than 30 kilometers from Villa No. 1 to the nearest villa.

The round trip takes an hour.

Jiang Ning made a phone call to ask where he was.

"husband."

"Where have you been?"

"Just arrived at gate number three."

"That's soon."

"Did you come back?"

"Well, I just came back."

"Please boil a kettle of water first, and we will cook when we get back."

Jiang Ning agreed, hung up the phone and went into the house to boil water.

Pour the water on, come out and sit under the parasol and wait.

After about ten minutes, the BMW drove over.

Feng Yu and Feng Xue got out of the car, one to get something and the other to hold the child.

"Tiantian, go find daddy quickly."

Feng Yu put his daughter on the ground and patted her head.

The little guy looked over and walked over with his little legs.

Holding a bag of snacks in his hand, he stuffed them into his mouth as he walked.

Jiang Ning sat up and asked, "Baby, what delicious food do you want to eat? Come on, give some to daddy."

The little guy took out a small steamed bun and fed it into his mouth.

Jiang Ning opened his mouth and ate, but there was no taste.

The trowel head was too small, not even as big as the tip of his finger.

It can't even fill the gaps between teeth.

The little guy took out another one and continued to feed it into his mouth.

Jiang Ning closed his mouth and shook his head: "Dad doesn't want to eat it anymore, you keep it!"

The little guy refused to give in and continued to feed him.

Jiang Ning had no choice but to open his mouth and eat again, then quickly picked her up and put her on his lap.

Feng Yu and Feng Xue carried big and small bags and went into the house to cook.

The little guy sat quietly on his father's lap, eating a steamed bun.

Neither noisy nor noisy.

Apart from playing in the water, he seems to have no interest in anything else.

Feng Yu and Feng Xue bought her a lot of cars, such as scooters and tricycles.

But the little guy never plays.

She is only interested in puzzle toys. Give her a puzzle sticker and she can play with it for half a day.

"Tiantian?"

Jiang Ning shouted.

The little guy turned his head to look at him and continued eating the buns.

Jiang Ning turned her around and raised her hands.

The little guy looked down at him and seemed to think about it.

He took out a small trowel and fed it to him.

Jiang Ning didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Dad doesn't want to eat it, so you eat it!"

The little guy ate it by himself.

Jiang Ning put him on his lap and sat him down, holding his waist with one hand and holding his leg with the other.

I was still thinking that my daughter was too quiet.

Unlike my nephews and nieces, who were very noisy when they were this old.

He was like a reincarnated bandit. I don’t know how many cabinets and drawers in the house were broken.

I have changed several cabinet doors. My daughter doesn't have any childlike characteristics.

Could there be a problem?

Jiang Ning was a little worried and discussed it with Feng Yu during dinner.

Feng Yu was not worried: "What are you thinking? Every child is different. Some are naughty and some are quiet. Those who like to be quiet and well-behaved will be fine when they grow up. This is not a problem."

Jiang Ning glanced at the little girl and was very confused: "How could such a young child like to eat meat so much?"

Feng Yu said: "It's normal!"

Jiang Ning felt that it was not normal that the baby, who was over one year old, was still drinking milk powder.

But the little guy loves to eat meat, and he gets anxious every time he sees meat while eating.

I can't chew or swallow lean meat, and I dare not eat too much fatty meat.

I could only give her a bone to chew on.

His face was covered with oil from biting the food, which made people want to laugh.

Feng Yu asked him, "Have you finished your work?"

Jiang Ning said: "Not yet, I just saw a farm and I plan to buy it."

Feng Yu didn't take it too seriously and asked casually, "Are you still raising cattle?"

Jiang Ning said, "A ranch is where cattle are raised, and the farm we visited this time is where wheat is grown."

Feng Yu was a little surprised: "I heard that Meilijian's wheat farm is losing money. Is that true?"

Jiang Ning nodded: "It's true."

Feng Yu said: "Then you still buy it."

Jiang Ning said: "The Americans don't know how to farm. They only get 400 kilograms per mu. But my farming is different."

Although Feng Yu didn't care much about these, he also knew the wheat yield of Xianling Farm. Last year, one mu of land yielded 1,000 kilograms. This year, they selected high-quality seeds, and the yield was said to be even higher. He didn't think he was bragging, so he asked, "How big is the farm?"

Jiang Ning said: "A little over 110,000 acres."

Feng Yu had no idea: "How big is 110,000 acres?"

Jiang Ning said: "Two second-round games."

Feng Yu was stunned: "Is it this big?"

Jiang Ning said, "One square kilometer is more than 240 acres, and the second field is more than 230 square kilometers, less than acres. You can calculate how big it is."

Feng Yu asked: "How many people are needed to cultivate such a large piece of land?"

Jiang Ning said: "The Americans are all mechanized and can't afford manual labor. There are less than 100 workers in three farms."

Feng Yu asked: "How much will it cost?"

Jiang Ning said: "About 200 million US dollars!"

Feng Yu asked: "Do you have that much money?"

"That's necessary!"

Jiang Ning said: "Once the gold mine in Africa is put into production, it can produce two to three tons of gold a month."

Feng Yu didn't want to use his brain to calculate, so he asked, "How much can two or three tons of gold be worth?"

Jiang Ning said: "One ton of gold is worth 80 million US dollars at the current gold price."

Don't worry about this.

If you think a little, you can know how much it is.

Feng Yu said: "It doesn't have to be about profit, the cost of mining gold is not low, right?"

Jiang Ning said, "Not much, at most 20% of the cost. Our gold mine is of high grade, with more than 200 grams of gold per ton of ore. The cost of mining and refining is very low, mainly in terms of labor. It costs a lot of money to support those mercenaries."

Feng Yu didn't understand and thought there was something wrong: "Two hundred million dollars a month, isn't there anyone who is jealous of such a good mine?"

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Of course there is, but your husband is not a pushover. If anyone dares to take our gold mine, I will kill him."

Feng Yu didn't ask any more questions, as the little guy started to protest.

I was busy taking care of my daughter.

The little guy held the bone and chewed it for a long time, but didn't get any meat.

Of course he was not happy, he screamed when bones were thrown to him.

One hand was pointing at the bones in the soup bowl.

Feng Xue picked up a piece that Jiang Ning had gnawed and gave it to her. The little girl had learned her lesson.

The little hand reached to the side, wanting the meat in the soup bowl.

Feng Yu had no choice but to pick up the smallest piece for her.

The little guy was satisfied then, and he chewed the bone with a sweet taste.

But I couldn't chew the lean meat and couldn't swallow it, so I spit it all out.

After lunch, I was going to take a nap.

But the little guy didn't want to sleep and kept pestering his mother, calling him "Youyou".

Feng Yu didn't want to go out. He was sleepy and wanted to sleep.

Feng Xue was ready to take the little guy out to play.

Jiang Ning didn't let her go and asked her to sleep with Feng Yu.

Take the little ones boating.

I felt uneasy on the boat and wanted to play in the water by grabbing the boat handle.

Jiang Ning tested the water temperature and found that he could swim.

Just strip her naked, put a swimming ring on her, put her in the water, and let her play by herself.

After playing for half an hour, the little guy was tired.

Jiang Ning then put some clothes on her and carried her back to the house to sleep.

Before she even walked into the house, she had already fallen asleep in his arms.

As soon as I entered the door, Feng Xue came out of the house and looked around.

Jiang Ning asked: "Why haven't you slept yet?"

Feng Xue gestured twice.

Jiang Ning carried the little guy over, and Feng Xue took him and put him on the bed.

At the end, he gestured twice, meaning that Feng Yu had fallen asleep.

Best not to disturb.

Jiang Ning didn't go upstairs, and he wasn't sleepy either.

I went to the hangar and took a look around, then flew a small fixed-wing plane into the sky and did some circles.

By the way, I inspected the ranch.

It doesn't feel very satisfying. I want to fly a fighter jet.

But no.

Jiang Ning asked the mechanic: "Hey, man, I want to fly a fighter jet. How can I realize this wish?"

The mechanic said, "Boss, you can go to the army."

"Bullshit!"

Jiang Ning said: "I don't want to be a soldier, I just want to experience the feeling of flying a fighter jet."

The mechanic said, "Even if the boss wants to join the army, he won't have a chance, because the Air Force only wants Americans. The boss's wish will never come true, because even those experience centers that have fighter jets won't let the boss fly a fighter jet."

Jiang Ning asked: "How can I get the Ministry of National Defense to sell me a fighter jet?"

The mechanic spread his hands and said, "Boss, I'm just a maintenance worker. If I were the Minister of Defense, I might know."

Jiang Ning encouraged him: "My friend, an actor can be president, and a mechanic can be the Minister of Defense. If you have this dream, I will support you. When you become the Minister of Defense, remember to get me a fighter jet to play with."

The mechanic said, "Boss, my dream is to make five million dollars and travel around the world. The dream of becoming the Minister of Defense is too far away for me. I have never dreamed of it."

Jiang Ning had nothing to say. This guy didn't know how to chat.

The conversation was simply dying.

When we got back to the villa, the little guy had already woken up.

Feng Yu and Feng Xue took her to play under the parasol.

Jiang Ning got out of the car and sat aside.

Feng Yu asked him: "Where did you go in the middle of the day instead of sleeping?"

Jiang Ning said: "I'm not sleepy. I went to play with the airplane for a while."

Feng Yu became interested: "Can I learn it?"

Jiang Ning said: "Of course, flying a plane is easy, easier than driving a car."

Feng Yu didn't believe it: "Is it true?"

Jiang Ning said affirmatively, "Of course it's true. Cars are more troublesome. You have to pay attention to this and that when you are on the road. When a plane is in the sky, you just need to be careful not to scratch any obstacles and you can fly freely. It is also easier to operate than a car."

Feng Yu was a little tempted: "Teach me how to drive it someday."

Jiang Ning said: "Go now."

Feng Yu didn't want to move: "I haven't thought about it yet, how about another day!"

Jiang Ning said, "What's there to think about? Just do whatever you want to do, or you won't want to drive tomorrow. I also wanted to get a fighter jet to see what it feels like, but unfortunately I can't get one."

Feng Yu was surprised: "You are really bold. You play differently from others."

Jiang Ning said leisurely, "People only live for a few decades. Since we have the conditions, we should try all the games we want to play. Otherwise, it would be a pity. Let's go. I will teach you how to fly a plane. I will go too. Let's experience the feeling of flying a plane today."
