"Hey, Qiao, why are you here?" Early in the morning, Zeng Gong greeted the dusty Qiao in the living room. Nowadays, Joe's ranch has become famous in Montana. Moreover, due to the decrease in the best fishing spots along the Yellowstone River due to the Qinglian Ranch, fishing has also flourished in his ranch. With good service and honest people, it is not just about money. The tourists brought by Hui, travel experts in Lao America, and fishing enthusiasts have all set his ranch as one of the tourist destinations. The busy life has made several old cowboys exude a second youth. "Isn't it because of you?" Qiao glanced at Zeng Gong resentfully, drinking the coffee handed over by Elena, with ambiguity in his eyes. "Me?" Zeng Gong looked at him doubtfully. It seems that there is nothing to do with each other. Although the two families are only separated by a highway, they have been busy with their own affairs recently, and they rarely even talk on the phone. "You know, recently some tourists know that our next door is the largest contiguous ranch in the United States, and the scenery is beautiful. They all want to visit your ranch. Don't worry, the price is negotiable. We will settle the fees separately with the customer, except for some necessary All the expenses and income will be yours, what do you think?" Qiao rubbed his hands and looked at Zeng Gong nervously, hoping to get the answer he expected. Zeng Gong shook his head and received tourists? Qinglian Ranch will be open to the public, but not now, and not for ordinary tourists, but for some high-end tourists, such as some politicians, celebrities, chaebol families, in short, some upper-class figures. Ordinary tourists are not his choice, at least not Will compete with Joe and others. "Qiao, you know that my ranch is undergoing a water conservancy project, and two wineries are also on the agenda. It will not be convenient to receive tourists, at least not for a year or two." Zeng Gong explained tactfully. Joe was a little disappointed. "Haha, I knew you would refuse. Well, I'm going back. Those old guys are not very busy." Qiao suddenly smiled freely, put on his cowboy hat, and said goodbye to Zeng Gong. "Why are you still there?" Zeng Gong stood up in surprise. "Of course it's us. We run a tourist ranch. At least we have to be responsible for the guests. It's not something that a few temporary workers in Livingston can handle. We need some good cowboys, but it's a pity that there are so many good cowboys around. All the cowboys have been hired by you, and we can't find anyone for the time being. We old guys have no choice but to work hard." Qiao spread his hands and looked helpless and relieved. The busy life has returned to the past. What is even more gratifying is that my son is finally willing to come back and inherit the family business, although it is a bit difficult to wander outside. "There is no way, who makes you not have the awareness to advance." Zeng Gong shrugged, expressing his helplessness. ¡°Zeng, will Qiao be embarrassed if you do this?¡± Elena said with some worry. Joe is very simple and has good popularity in Livingston. Elena has lived in Livingston for a period of time, so she naturally has a certain affection for the people and things here. "There is no way. The water conservancy project in the ranch is now in full swing. It is not convenient to receive tourists at all. The ranch is so big, there are always things that cannot be taken into account. What should I do if something unexpected happens? And in the future, I plan to build the ranch into something like a high-end The club model is even less convenient for receiving ordinary tourists." Zeng Gong frowned slightly and explained his concerns. The route that Qinglian Ranch will take in the future is ultimately different from that of ordinary ranches. Instead of being more decisive in refusing now, it will save trouble in the future. "Forget it, we don't want to worry about these things, Elena, where are we going to play today?" Zeng Gong said impatiently when he saw Elena was silent. "Hey, Zeng, can you take this old man with you?" Suddenly the door was pushed open and Brian said with a smile. An uninvited guest, Zeng Gong forced out a smile and hugged Brian. "Mr. Governor, why are you here?" Zeng Gong bit his back molars and asked with fake concern. Brian glanced at Elena who was next to Zeng Gong. Without any embarrassment at all, he asked in a pretentious manner, "I'm not bothering you. I just came back from Wyoming and passed by to see how the project was progressing. Zeng, You have to know that I am under a lot of pressure on the water conservancy project in your ranch. If it doesn't work, I will be the end of the governor." "No bother, no bother what are you doing now. "Don't worry, the water conservancy project doesn't need to be fully completed to see initial results. The work is going smoothly now. If nothing happens, you will be able to see the results by this time next year." Zeng Gong said firmly. "Then I feel relieved." Brian nodded. If Zeng Gong could improve the ecological environment of the Yellowstone River Basin and curb the spread of soil erosion, it would be a great success for him.??'s political achievements, as for the relocation work that wasted money and people, it is nothing more than a cloud. "If you are worried, we can go around and see how the progress is going?" Zeng Gong continued, "What are you doing in Wyoming?" "It's not because there is less rain this year. Montana and Wyoming are both livestock ranching states. Dazhou, shouldn¡¯t I discuss countermeasures with the governor of Wyoming?¡± Brian¡¯s eyebrows furrowed when he heard this. From early spring to now, the precipitation in several states in the northwestern United States has been significantly less than in previous years, and the growth of pasture and grain is not good. Several states have launched large-scale water conservancy projects, using several rivers such as the Yellowstone River, the Missouri River, and the Columbia River. This is only a slight relief for the main river. After all, there are more people and less meat, and the flow of water downstream must be ensured. The governors of each state are already struggling. "Is there any way?" Zeng Gong asked with concern. "There is no good solution at the moment. It's just to buy some forage from other places, reduce the scale of free-range breeding, and concentrate on captive breeding." Brian sighed and said. Although there are more and more methods of captive breeding and they are becoming more and more large-scale, Montana still has its own pride. It has the most free-range breeding in the United States. Unexpectedly, the season of lack of rain has eroded this advantage. And it treats the symptoms rather than the root cause. "Even if it is raised in captivity, the quality of the meat will not be very good. Costs will increase and profits will decrease. Many ranches will go bankrupt this year. Brian, you need to take emergency measures." Zeng Gong thinks that Brian's solution is not enough. It's just a slight relief, even drinking poison to quench thirst. ¡°There¡¯s no way, there¡¯s only so much water rights, you can do as much as you can.¡± Brian sighed as he felt exhausted. "It's a pity that there are still many people who are dissatisfied like this. "By the way, Zeng, can you reduce the use of some water rights?" Brian suddenly thought of something and said earnestly to Zeng Gong.
