Chapter 628: Nothing to Do

"Hi, Jiang, you're finally here." Looking at Jiang Hai coming over, Old George and Selsi stood up immediately and took the initiative to greet him. As for the other people, they also stood up immediately. Get up, even some gray-haired old people.

Especially from this, to what extent has Jiang Hai's reputation in the town reached?

"Sit down, sit down, you don't have to be so polite." Seeing everyone standing up to greet him, Jiang Hai also smiled, then said hello to Old George and Selsi, and immediately told everyone to sit down, Old George's His wife had already prepared a chair nearby and brought another one for Jiang Hai, asking him to join these people. Jiang Hai was a little flattered by this.

"Jiang, let me introduce you to everyone here." Seeing everyone sit down, Old George also smiled and spoke to Jiang Hai.

After all, Jiang Hai is here. Apart from him, no one else is particularly familiar. Oh, Selsi is okay.

"This is Hotch Searcy. I think you should know him by now. This brat always sells us your parts. Haha, this is Cotton Harris. He is also a rancher. To your east The Straw Hat Flower Ranch belongs to him." Listening to Old George's words, Jiang Hai also shook hands with Cotton Harris who was sitting over there.

Cotton Harris is a white man who looks a little old-fashioned. He is in his fifties and does not have a smile on his face. However, when he shook hands with Jiang Hai, he deliberately smiled, although it looked better than crying. Where to go, but it is also a kind of kindness after all.

Cotton Harris was the largest manor owner here before Jiang Hai came. Of course, this so-called big manor for those in the west, such as Texas, Montana and other places, is a super mini ranch. .

His pasture has a total of 2,700 acres. The pastoral area of ​​Jiang Hai Manor has 9,200 acres. It is much smaller than Jiang Hai's pastoral area, but here, his manor is already a big guy. , raising a total of 10,000 cows, which is indeed not small.

However, the cattle he raises are mainly for feeding, not grazing. He doesn't have that much grass to eat.

"This is Thackeray Eddie, who is also a rancher." After introducing Cotton Harris, Old George introduced another rancher. This Thackeray Eddie is better than Cotton Harris. The pasture is much smaller.

His pasture is only 200 acres in size, and he raises very few beef cattle, which he basically eats for himself. He mainly raises dairy cows, with a total of 500 cows, making him the largest milk supplier in the town.

"This is Carey Clark, who is also a rancher, but far away from your place." Then Old George introduced another white man, this one named Carey Clark. In fact, he is a rancher, rather than an estate owner. , because his pasture is not very big, only more than 150 acres, and he does not raise too many cattle, but he raises a lot of sheep, and he also grows a lot of vegetables. In the United States, vegetables are more expensive than meat. It's not a very rare thing, so growing vegetables and selling them is naturally extremely normal.

After introducing the three white ranchers, Old George introduced three more people, two blacks and one white.

One of the two black men is named Jay Matthew, who also runs a racecourse. He is half of Old George's apprentice. He used to work in Old George's racecourse, and later became independent, but he often comes back to buy horses. He sells horses. The horses are mainly aimed at places other than Winthrop. After all, this is old George's territory.

There is also a man named Jermaine Ronald. This man is a second-hand car dealer, a very fat black man with a smile on his face. Does he make money by being friendly? He knows that with Jiang Hai’s assets, it is impossible to buy second-hand cars. car, but Jiang Hai’s car is no longer needed, can it be sold to him, so Jiang Hai can also be regarded as a potential customer.

The last white man, Bass Bono, is the owner of the dairy in the town. He mainly receives milk from dairy farmers like Thacker Eddie, processes it, and sells it to the town. Or sell it to Boston or other places.

Before Jiang Hai bought cows in his manor, he bought his milk, and the quality was still very good.

Of course, compared with the milk Jiang Hai drinks now, it is worse. After all, the cows today eat more than just grass.

After introducing each other, everyone sat down again, and then Old George began to talk about the topics that he had not finished just now.

Jiang Hai listened for a while. To be honest, after listening for five minutes, he couldn't stand it anymore, because most of what Old George and the others were talking about were policies related to them, but with Jiang Hai... It doesn't matter.

For example, how many cents has the price of ordinary beef dropped, how much is it more expensive to buy pasture, how much is the price of seeds, those vampires on Wall Street should all go to hell, and some other American policies.

For example, it is becoming increasingly difficult to get pasture loans. In the past, you could apply for 50,000 or 100,000, but now it is difficult to apply for even 10,000.

They are now considering whether to sit in in front of the Boston Town Hall, protest, etc., to put pressure on the government.

To be honest, these things have nothing to do with Jiang Hai. First, he does not buy grass. The grass in his manor will not be eaten up no matter how much he eats.

Secondly, he doesn’t care about the price of beef, because his beef is in demand, so who dares to lower the price for him?

Third, regarding policy subsidies and support, he does not need subsidies. His subsidies are some preferential treatment when paying taxes.

apply for a loan? Does Jiang Hai use it? Therefore, although these things are closely related to everyone here, they have nothing to do with Jiang Hai. Therefore, after listening here for half an hour and holding back his sleepiness, Jiang Hai escaped through urine.

After leaving the racecourse house, Jiang Hai couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. After getting another bottle of Coke, he found a corner and sat there with a chair, looking at the busy people in front of him, minding his own business. Drink the Coke in your hand.

"Hi, handsome guy, can I meet you?" But at this moment, a girl suddenly came over with a bottle of beer. She looked at Jiang Hai and started talking with a smile. After hearing her words, Jiang Hai also looked at her. At first glance, this girl should be a college student, about 20 years old, white, with brown-red hair, and quite plump. After all, she is still a college student, and she has no control over her body. It's so good, but it still reveals an air of youth.

At this time, she was looking at Jiang Hai curiously with her big eyes, and Jiang Hai smiled when he looked at her brown eyes.

"Of course, Jiang Hai." Standing up, Jiang Hai stretched out his hand towards the girl, and the girl also specially shook Jiang Hai's hand.

"My name is Kelly, Kelly Soren. I know you, the owner of Tenglong Manor." After hearing Jiang Hai's words, the girl smiled and shook Jiang Hai's hand, then took a chair from the side and put it on Next to Jiang Hai, he said with a smile.

"Wow, it looks like I'm quite famous." Jiang Hai said with a smile after taking a sip of Coke.

"Of course, you are the man who holds the lifeblood of Winthrop, haha." Hearing Jiang Hai's words, the girl named Kelly also laughed. It seemed that Jiang Hai's 'speech' that night was quite good. Is it successful?

"Are you from Winthrop too?" Jiang Hai shook his head. In fact, he didn't want to get into too much trouble with the townspeople, but sometimes, if you don't give these zombies a good beating, they themselves are not good enough. He knew it hurt, so he smiled, and Jiang Hai wisely changed the subject, looked at Kelly and asked, he was really not very familiar with Winthrop people.

"Of course, our family must have lived in Winthrop for decades. After all, they have lived here since my grandfather's generation, all the way to me." After hearing what Jiang Hai said, Kelly smiled Said to Jiang Hai.

"Wow, that's really a long time. Judging from your age, you should still be in college." Hearing Kelly's words, Jiang Hai couldn't help but admired her, and then asked her.

"Yes, I am from the Ocean Engineering Department of Boston University, but I am already a senior this year. I am preparing for my graduation thesis. I have earned all the credits. It is not difficult to write the thesis, but it is not easy to find a job." He shrugged helplessly. , Kelly said softly.

Hearing this, Jiang Hai wisely did not continue. He just touched his nose and smiled. What did he want to say? Did he help her find a job? Don't be ridiculous, Jiang Hai doesn't want anything to happen to her. Of course, if it's free of charge, he'll be very happy.

"I heard that you didn't come to these gatherings before, why did you come today?" Hearing that Jiang Hai didn't follow what he said, Kelly didn't care, chuckled, and moved away topic.

"Mayor Wallis said that he wants me to communicate more with the townspeople and integrate into this group as soon as possible." Shrugging, Jiang Hai said helplessly. Although this is a good thing, given the current situation, Look, it doesn't seem too easy.

"Americans all like to attend parties. This is a good way, but in addition to attending parties, you should also mingle with these people." Looking at Jiang Hai, Kelly thought for a moment and said seriously Jiang Hai said.

"Mingling together?" Hearing her words, Jiang Hai was a little confused, how to mingle as one? He didn't even know anyone.

"In this world, the easiest place to create friendship is in military camps and schools. Of course, it is impossible for you to become a soldier or a student, but the battlefield in peacetime is in the arena. Will you What kind of sport?" Looking at Jiang Hai's confused look, Kelly also smiled and said to Jiang Hai. Hearing Kelly's words, Jiang Hai couldn't help but let out an ooh.

"I can play basketball." After thinking about it, I realized that I was very good at basketball back then. I was so good at playing professional players!

"Basketball? This might work, but I'm not too sure. What I know is that the best sports to make friends are baseball and football." He rubbed his hair lightly. It seems that basketball in the United States is indeed for stepmothers. No. Be welcoming.

But Jiang Hai doesn't know how to play baseball or football, which is also a problem... (To be continued.)
