silent farm

Chapter 5 The realm of thought is regressing
It took more than half a year for Li Sheng to roughly figure out the things in the space.

In the space, he has found more than 50 types of terrestrial vertebrates that are useful. He hardly pays attention to the ones that are not of special value, but there must be more of them.There are also many insects. For example, he found that the honey produced by four types of bees is very good.There are more than a dozen types of high-value wood, and there are many of them.

There are 38 species of fish that can grow to over one meter in water.There are all four kinds of fish, and there are some other fish that cannot be named.And there are hundreds of species of smaller fishes.

It is too wasteful and extravagant for him to enjoy the things produced in such a cornucopia alone.However, he will not be too bothered about not being able to take out the contents to make a profit in reality.Now, although he can't be called a rich man, his net worth exceeds [-] million, and it's all in cash. The money is enough for him to eat for a lifetime without doing anything.

Although he didn't care much about it, his desire to build a large farm has not changed.

Owning a farm is not just a career for him, but a source of peace of mind.The hard work of his parents was defeated by him.He needs to start a business that is no less than the hard work of his parents.Only by doing that can he feel at ease.

Finally, when he was bored, when he checked the intermediary website he had visited before, he saw the information of a large farm for sale.It was a ranch with an area of ​​more than 3000 acres located in Montana, USA.According to the listing information, there are [-] acres of farmland in the ranch, where wheat and corn can be grown.There are also six small lakes totaling one hundred acres.The rest are pastures.

Such a large area of ​​private ranch is impossible in China.Except for a few capitalist countries with vast land areas, it is almost impossible for such large ranches to appear in other countries.It can be said that encountering such a real estate listing is a rare opportunity.

He looked at the pictures and found that the pasture of this pasture was poor, with yellow soil exposed in many places and no grass on the ground.

The website also gives a satellite map coordinate link, and a screenshot of the satellite map with the boundary marked.He opened the online map on the Internet and zoomed in. There are sparse trees on this farm, and it may also be shrubs.The listed ranch is close to the mountains. From the satellite map, this ranch occupies thousands of acres of mountains alone.The mountains are covered with rocks, and no trees can be seen.It may be possible to graze, but the grass produced on a hill may not be able to support a cow.No wonder such a large ranch can only graze fifteen hundred head of cattle.

But these are not a problem for Li Sheng. If he operates well, as long as it is not a desert, he can turn even the poorest land into fertile land.

It's just that the price of this ranch is not cheap, and it costs three thousand dollars per acre.This land price seems to be trying to cheat the Chinese people.Li Sheng checked some prices on American farm land.If it is a farm estate in the east or south, it is normal to sell for [-] to [-] dollars an acre.If it is a mansion-style manor, it is even more expensive.But the condition of this listed ranch is not very good.The average price of three thousand dollars is high.But for him, the large area is the most important thing.

He calculated that the price of the whole ranch would need about 5000 million RBM according to the exchange rate.This figure has exceeded his property.And if he wants to transform such a farm, he may need to invest a lot of money.It might be possible to bargain, but he didn't know how much.He still had to prepare the money first.

Although he has no successful experience in doing business, he also knows that he can't do business without money.More importantly, sales and so on have to keep up.A farm that big is a business.In the United States, if a farm like that doesn't make money, the estate tax may be enough to make him feel bad.

Of course, he doesn't necessarily have to rely on the farm to make money.It should be a good idea to just sell the products in the space in the name of the ranch.However, that is not his goal. His goal is to rely on the farm to do something worthy of recognition.So making money is a must, how much is another matter.

In fact, he still has the purpose of finding a quiet place to live, and there are no people or things worthy of nostalgia in the country.

He traveled outside last year, spending half a year in those fields.Looking forward to that kind of life.This is also the main reason why he is so interested in space.

If he wants to make a career abroad by relying on agriculture, then he obviously can no longer make his home in China.So he also needs a home that makes him feel at ease and comfortable.

He dialed the contact number displayed on the Internet.Since the other party posted the news on Huaxia's real estate agency website, the receptionist of course understands Chinese.

Li Sheng heard that bargaining was not accepted, and he needed to pay an intermediary fee to view the land. If successful, this part of the money would be included in the purchase price of the land. If unsuccessful, the money would not be refunded.He didn't think about going to see the land, he didn't care much about what the land looked like, and he thought it was a bit troublesome to go through the formalities for going abroad to see the land.It also said that if the transaction is successful, in addition to the transaction amount needed to buy the land, after going through the transfer procedures, he will have to pay another sum of money to get the land into his pocket.

After all, if he wanted to take over that farm, he would have to pay more than 6000 million RBM for that piece of land.Moreover, he also found some related laws.Foreigners can buy land in the United States.However, U.S. law stipulates that those who are not U.S. citizens or hold U.S. green cards cannot operate the land in the country.Landowners can only employ U.S. green card holders or U.S. citizens for business management.That is to say, even if it belongs to you, if you don’t have a green card or a U.S. citizen, you still have to ask someone to manage it, even if it’s just a look.

But these are not obstacles to Li Sheng.He is not a celebrity in China, as long as he remembers who he is, emigrating abroad is nothing.He is an ordinary person, no one would call him a traitor or a traitor because of immigrating.

After the phone call, the other party sent him a fair proof of the situation of the land.After seeing it, he basically made up his mind to buy the land.But he doesn't have enough money.

He calculated that after selling all the domestic properties, he would probably be able to earn 4000 million, which is nearly half of the difference.And it may take tens of millions of dollars to renovate that farm.If calculated in that way, at least 2 million more needs to be raised to be enough.

Here, it can actually be seen that Li Sheng is really not a business material.For such a large investment, he made a decision just by reading a document.He didn't even investigate why the other party wanted to sell such a piece of land.

He never considered that agricultural land and industrial land are completely different things.As long as there is no problem with the geology of industrial land, other problems can be solved with money.But agricultural land also needs to consider water source and soil quality.It needs to see whether those soils are suitable for his own business style.He didn't investigate any of these, and he didn't even think about going to see it himself first.

Of course, this is also because he is not a real farmer.Nor did you become a professional farmer just because you got some space.In areas where you are not good at, it is inevitable to make mistakes.

In addition, he feels that there is not enough funds yet, and there are some who put them down first.But there was one thing he really ignored.That is, they did not have a comprehensive understanding of the laws of the United States on land management, nor did they have a serious understanding of the conditions of that land.For example, does the land have sufficient water rights.

In the United States, surface water rights are also private.Surface water rights means that people on the shore of the water have part or all of the water rights in this water area.The amount of water rights depends on the length of the total river section occupied by this piece of land, and a certain amount of water source use rights for the upstream surface flow can be obtained.

The water rights of groundwater also belong to individuals, but there are restrictions.Each farm per unit area can only extract so much groundwater each year, and the licensing standards vary from place to place.If mining exceeds the license, fines are imposed, and the fines are heavy.As long as it is discovered once, it will be retroactively fined for ten years.It can be said that unless it is a humid area, American farms basically do not have enough irrigation water without surface water rights.If such a farm wants to have enough water, it must buy water from people with excess water rights.But also to build irrigation facilities.It would also be a big investment.

As can be seen from the photos of the pasture, the water on that farm is definitely not enough, and part of the pasture is not irrigated, otherwise there would not be so much bare ground.

However, after having the space, Li Sheng has already entered the state of 'preparing for the protagonist'.A little careless.

His desire to be a master has been deeply ingrained.In this regard, what he is most sorry for is the political teacher who brainwashed him back then.

How unacceptable is it for a child who grew up under the red flag to become a landlord who has been completely overthrown when he grows up?
