Chapter 77

Chapter 77 One step away

The life of those small farmers is not as leisurely as the media reported, not to mention the old Bruno. The farm he manages is not owned by him, but rented and planted. To put it bluntly, he is also Working for a farm owner, the owner of this farm will take a considerable part of the income every year!

  "The seeds have to be purchased from them, as are the pesticides and fertilizers. You remember Carl's Ranch. Old Carl is almost forced to go bankrupt!"

  Old Bruno said to Song Yang that the major seed groups in America are almost controlling all the planting industry in America.

   Not only the planting industry, but also the pastures are controlled by several major food giants in America. Those small ranchers have basically become workers of the food giants.

  Food giants like Bunge and Tyson control more than half of the meat on the table of American people. As for the farmers, they are also forced to work for these food giants.

Because these food giants provide small ranchers with orders, new feeding methods, feed, etc., like chickens that originally took two or three months to grow up, according to the feeding methods of the food giants, and the special feed provided, it only takes two to two months. It can reach the diner's table in a week, or even ten days...

What is even more exaggerated is that the growth of these chickens can also be adjusted according to market demand. Chicken **** are popular, and the chicken **** of these raised chickens are more than three to five times larger than ordinary chickens. .

  As for those who are unwilling to work for these food giants, like the old Carl in the old Bruno's mouth, Song Yang's impression is a hot-tempered, quite temperamental red-neck, and now he is about to be squeezed out of bankruptcy.

The production costs of the cows, sheep, chickens, etc. on his ranch are much higher than those of the farms that work for the food giants, and the food giants are not willing to place orders for Karl. If Karl is not willing to bow to the food giants , can only wait for bankruptcy.

  The ranch that has been in business for most of its life was taken away by the bank, and after a series of dazzling formalities and transactions, the final result of that ranch may be bought at a low price by a ranch company under a certain food giant...

Listening to old Bruno's words, Song Yang felt that he would never be able to say anything in the future. He had to learn from the self-made richest man. He bought hundreds of thousands of acres of land and became the largest farmer in America. At least he could know where the food he ate came from. of.

Who said that American people don't love land? Bill Gates, who has always been regarded as a representative of science and technology, has bought a lot of land. Land, up to 270,000 acres.

  How big is 270,000 acres, which is almost more than 1,000 square kilometers, which is almost as large as the area of ​​Hong Kong City, surpassing the area of ​​Singapore, Morocco, Brunei, Mauritius and other small countries...

   "Song!"

   At this time, Gallo's voice came over, and Gallo, who was holding a shotgun in his hand, called Song Yang, "Let's go with Moore to clean up those wild boars!"

   There is no tradition of protecting wild boars in America. When it comes to these things, I hate it. Farms and ranches are slapped by these wild boars several times a year.

  Moore, a burly man, looks very oppressive, but in fact he has no temper. In the past, he was the one who took care of Song Yang and the others.

   Putting Song Yang on a protective suit, and checking the shotgun, Moore let Song Yang get into the car and drove towards the depths of the farm.

   "It's been a long time since I hunted, let those piggies know what the best marksmanship of the western cowboy is!" Gallo, who was sitting in the car, boasted to Song Yang.

Song Yang glanced at Gallo, who was enjoying himself there, and touched the old-fashioned shotgun in his hand. Song Yang was a little excited. In his previous life, he had no chance to touch this thing, and there was no place to hunt. It belongs to the prison bottom sitting and wearing beast.

  In the depths of the farm, Moore saw the corn, soybeans, etc. being planted, and soon found traces of wild boars, and drove directly to catch up.

Song Yang also saw the figure of this group of wild boars. It was a herd of small wild boars. The leader was a big wild boar with a body length of nearly two meters and a fat body covered with brown bristles. Song Yang felt that this wild boar weighed at least two to three hundred catties Well, a grown man might not be able to fight this thing with his bare hands.

  Seeing the wild boar, Song Yang also raised his shotgun and shot down, but naturally missed.

"Song, why did your marksmanship become so bad? I remember you were not like this before!" Gallo couldn't help complaining about Song Yang. He felt that since Song Yang became an "Internet genius", some aspects have seriously regressed. For example, the level of baseball has plummeted, and now his marksmanship is even worse.

  Song Yang was also a little embarrassed, glared at Gallo angrily, and said a famous saying, "There is a problem with the gun!"

The speed of wild boars is not slow, the fastest speed can reach 48 kilometers, so they can only drive and chase them all the time. After this trip, in fact, not many wild boars were hit. Only the biggest wild boar was killed by Gallo. The gun finally fell, and the rest was little Piggy, who was overtaken by the pickup truck.

   This is more like driving away these wild boars on Bruno's farm. As for what to do with these wild boars running to other farms.

Well, in fact, that's what I thought at first, just drive away. Anyway, dead friends don't die poor people, as long as they're not here. As for where they are, that's none of the business of Bruno's farm. They were driven here by other farms. The entire American wild boar herd adds up to more than 6 million heads. How could it be possible to catch them...

  The shotgun was on the farm, crackling for a long time, and the pickup truck returned with a few wild boars. The wild boars were not shot much, but Song Yang Zhuntou practiced them a little better.

  Back to the place where he lived on the farm, as soon as Song Yang entered the house, he heard the sound of arguing from inside.

   It was Daisy who was arguing with Greg, and Daisy was yelling at Greg, "I am also from the Bruno family, why can't I get it, the money belongs to little Bruno, not yours!"

   Dai Qian thinks that Greg is obstructing him, taking the money earned by Song Yang as his own, and preventing Dai Qian and the others from sharing it.

  Grek, who was being bullied, was helpless and a little angry, "The Bruno family is the Bruno family, and Song is Song. I have no right to interfere with his decision!"

However, Dai Qian obviously disagreed with this statement, "Little Bruno has been with you since he was a child. I have heard that you have moved into a new villa. Logan and you Miria have both entered the best private school in Houston. , these can't be fake, can they?"

Speaking of which, Daisy began to cover her face and cry, "I don't want as much as what you get from Greck, I just want a sum. Our Austin mortgage is due, and the insurance has been cut off for three months, Gary Unemployed for months, Camille is about to start college..."

  Gary is Daisy's husband, Camille is their daughter, that is, Song Yang's cousin, Daisy is arguing with Greg, Marson and others are sitting aside.

  Song Yang walked in at this time, Dai Qian couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed when she saw Song Yang coming in, "Little Bruno, I..."

Song Yang waved his hand, sat aside, and looked at the people in the room. The people sitting here are basically relatives of this body. Unless Song Yang doesn't recognize any of them, it is impossible to get around over them.

   "Uncle Greck and I have actually talked about it. The Bruno Foundation has been established. People from the Bruno family can join and work in it, and they can receive a federal salary every month!"

   "As for those who need to go to school, such as Calmy, Miriam, and Logan, I will pay their tuition fees through the Bruno Foundation!"

   "Of course, if there are people who are dissatisfied, they don't have to join the Bruno Foundation!"

  Hearing Song Yang's words, Dai Qian was happy, but also a little unwilling. Being able to join the Bruno Foundation meant that they would all be able to live in peace in the future without worrying about their livelihood.

  But what is not reconciled is that this is far from what Dai Qian expected. There are no villas, luxury cars, luxury goods and so on.

   But looking at Song Yang's face, Dai Qian didn't dare to say anything. If Song Yang canceled her qualification to join the Bruno Foundation, it would be more harm than good for her.

  As for Ma Sen, his face was full of joy. He didn't expect much at first, but now he can get a sum of money for nothing, which is definitely a windfall for him.

  Song Yang took out a check from his pocket and put it in front of Mason, "Use this money to buy this farm. Afterwards, this farm will belong to the Bruno Foundation!"

  Song Yang knew that the biggest expectation of the old Bruno was to have his own farm. According to the price in Houston, the price of this 180-acre farm is about 190,000 US dollars.

   After the old Bruno couple left for more than a hundred years, the farm will be owned by the Bruno family, and the proceeds will be shared equally by everyone.

  Old Bruno heard that when Song Yang was going to buy the farm to him, he immediately said to Song Yang, "Little Bruno, you don't need to do this, this farm is not worth the price at all."

  Although he said so, the old Bruno was obviously very happy to have his own farm. During dinner, he specially roasted the wild boar he had brought back for Song Yang as an extra meal.

  After staying here on the farm for two days, Song Yang and the others began to return to Houston. There were not a few people who called Song Yang in the past two days.

In the past few days, in addition to Jenny's phone call, she double-clicked the company and made multiple calls to Song Yang. In addition to some things that required Song Yang's consent and signature, the other most important thing was that the Hotmail mailbox Over there, the closed beta has already started, and it is only one step away from going online!

  After Song Yang returned to Houston, he didn't have time to go to the small apartment to eat Jenny's cream cake, so he rushed to the Harbor Office Building first.

   Entered the development department of the Hotmail mailbox project. Wesley, Irene and others were there. After Song Yang passed by, he asked Wesley directly, "How is the internal test going?"

   "It's not bad. Although there are some problems, the stability test of Hotmail email has passed!" Wesley said to Song Yang.
