Chapter 224 My Farm
Kean.
It is a small town in the Great Lakes region of northern America. From this, it is less than 20 kilometers north, which is the Canadian region.
Although the environmental pollution on the east and west coasts of America is relatively serious, the environment in the northern Great Lakes region is generally good.
Of course, this refers to the present!
If the Great Lakes that the American people are proud of for decades will be simply a stinking ditch that everyone dislikes. For this reason, the American federal government spent tens of billions of dollars, and after more than ten years of governance, it was only after revitalizing the Great Lakes.
"Boss, your farm is so beautiful and has a great location. Lake Ontario to the east, Lake Michigan to the west, and a large forest to the south, which covers a lot of land."
Alexander stood in the soybean field and couldn't help but sigh.
The farm covering an area of 500 acres is not small, with about 2.03 million square meters
The area of a football field is only 7140 square meters.
Zhuke's farm is equivalent to the area of 284 football fields.
"The area is not small, especially this large forest, which is a good place to hunt. Howell, I, is an authentic Texas native, and have followed my grandfather and father into the forest to hunt since I was a child."
Howell, male, 52 years old, with a big beard, from Texas, currently serves as the manager of the farm owned by Zhuke.
“It’s good.”
Zhu Ke, who is still a native of the Great Heavenly Kingdom, attaches great importance to land.
Well, this is the plot of the land!
At this time, John Lasseter, who came to visit with Zhuke, was a little uncomfortable.
Lasseter looked at the endless soybean fields in front of him and said, "Zuke, the farm you bought is really expensive. It is said that you spent $12 million."
As soon as the words came, everyone around him nodded.
The price is a bit expensive!
You should know that in the western part of the United States, a farm covering an area of 500 acres can be selected based on the relative standard planting area, lake area, pasture area, forest and mountain area, 6 million to 8 million US dollars!
If it is just a farm covering an area of several acres, the price will definitely not exceed $300,000, or even tens of thousands of dollars.
If the land is barren and sparsely populated areas, the price will be lower.
For example: In the Wyoming area of America, the total price of 2,000 acres of farms will not exceed $4 million if it is over.
In contrast, the farm in front of Zucker covers an area of 500 acres, but it costs $12 million.
The price gap is not very big!
"Zuke, I remember that the overall price of the farm in this area should not be high. You should know that the Great Lakes area is not a good place to develop the planting industry, after all, this place is too cold." Lasset said again.
Everyone around him nodded again.
The temperature in the Great Lakes area is affected by ocean currents, monsoons, and high latitudes. The temperature in autumn and winter is very low.
The northernmost part of the Great Heavenly Kingdom, Mohe Town, has a latitude of 53.5 degrees north latitude;
The farm currently owned by Zhuke is also at 51.2 degrees north latitude;
It can freeze to death in winter!
This climatic condition is very unfavorable to the growth of plants, which also creates the reason why farms are sparse in the Great Lakes region of the United States.
"Lasset, Alexander, I'm not a loser business."
Zhuke pointed to the forests and lakes in the distance and said, "In addition to the 500-acre farm, the huge forest is mine. Many animals and plants inside are protected species and are very rare. If I hadn't known some ways, let alone the price of $12 million, or the price of $20 million, the local government might not have changed hands."
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
The farm manager, the bearded old man Howell, explained to them the precious animals and plants in this forest.
American elk, bear, wolf and fox...
American minks, monkeys and beavers are often found in the lake.
You can also see the extremely rare North American bison by chance.
"Everyone, everyone should know that the Great Lakes region has rich mineral resources. The Appalachian Mountains to the east are the most important coalfields in the United States, and their reserves account for half of the country. The west and south of Lake Superior are the most important iron ore areas in the United States, with a reserve of about 80% of the country."
"And Mr. Wald's farm also contains a large number of coal and iron ore underground, so the price will not be lower."
With Howell's introduction, Lasseter, Alexander and others had a simple understanding of Zucker's farm.
The large amount of underground mines also means that there is not much land suitable for agricultural planting.
However.......
For Zhuke, who is now incredible, how could he care about agricultural income?
How much profit can a movie be worth?!
...........
That evening.
Zhuke, Lasset, Alexander and his group had a very sumptuous dinner in a main villa on the farm.
The delicious beef, mutton, fish, shrimp, etc. are not bought from outside. They are produced on their own farms and are purely natural and pollution-free.
Extremely delicious!
"Boss, I have roughly planned the itinerary for tomorrow. Do you want to listen first?" said Howell, the bearded man.
Zucker nodded: "Yes."
Alexander also echoed: "You should be able to ride a horse tomorrow, but I saw a lot of good horses today."
Lasseter also smiled and said, "I haven't hunted for years, but we can raft and fish tomorrow, which is very good."
Others around them also agreed and imagined them.
A farm with active and large land area, with forests, mountains, lakes, swamps... There are so many places to visit.
Zhu Ke was very satisfied with owning 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, Zucker spent $42 million.
Moreover, the climate of Baizhen Pearl Island is very pleasant, but I don’t think the winter in Great Lakes Farm is so long and cold, where it is almost always spring and summer.
However, Zhuke, who has tight cash flow, has no extra money to build an island now.
"Don't be anxious, wait for more than a year, but it's 2000. When the Internet bubble breaks out, I will be able to make a fortune no matter what I say. Will I still be short of money then?"
For large toys like islands, no one in the world will like them.
If it weren't for the fact that the White Pearl Island had not been developed and built, Zhu Ke would have been enjoying the sun, beaches and bikini at this time.
...........
At the same time.
Pixar animation, which is far away in Los Angeles, is currently speaking to everyone, preparing for the "Beast Crisis" that will be released soon.
“Huh?”
Jobs talked a long passage and suddenly realized 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 was in charge of the guidance of you Andrew. Did he ask for leave when he was sick?"
Although Jobs was arrogant, he still cared about his right-hand man, John Lasseter.
Get ill?
For a moment, everyone present looked strange.
"Boss, Larset should be in the Great Lakes area now. He accepted Zucker's invitation to visit the new farm." Andrew whispered.
“…….”
At this moment, Jobs almost got mad: "It's this bastard Zhuke again, why is he everywhere?"
The second update of "" is given.
