After Alexander said this, Yu Sheng understood that he insisted on not lowering the price just to save face.
When it comes to doing business, what we fear the most is face.
As the successful businessman in the later movie The Chinese Partner said, bowing and kneeling are the basic skills for doing business.
The mentality of young ladies, the treatment of widows, and the pursuit of women's federations.
If you have too much face, you won't be able to do business.
And Alexander is such a typical example.
However, I don’t intend to get used to Alexander’s problem for the rest of my life.
After calculating the price/performance ratio of this ranch, Yu Sheng lost all intention of negotiating.
However, after repeatedly failing to negotiate prices with others, Alexander also knew that his offer was not very reasonable.
Watching Yu Sheng was a little absent-minded and a little anxious.
Although Niutou Ranch had some wealth, after several consecutive years of losses, Alexander really couldn't afford to lose money.
When Yu Sheng was about to give up, Alexander said to Yu Sheng: "Mr.
Yu, I know my price is a bit high.
But if Mr.
Yu is willing to accept this price, then I can give Yu Sheng another small piece of pasture in my name." gentlemen" “Another little piece of pasture” "Yes, although the Cow Head Ranch has indeed been losing money in recent years, it was not unprofitable in the past few years.
I once bought a small pasture near the Great Divide Basin in Wyoming.
I originally wanted to use this piece of pasture.
Grow some grass in the pasture to replenish the cow head pasture.
The problem of insufficient forage in Niutou Pasture.
However, who knew that the red desert of the Great Divide would actually expand outwards.
Within a few years after purchasing this small pasture, it would be swallowed up by the red desert of the Great Divide Basin.
The amount of forage produced is also pitifully small.”
"If it weren't for this reason, Niutou Ranch would never have been in the position of losing money for years.
Naturally, no one would take over the ranch that was swallowed up by the desert.
So it has been left there until now.
If Mr.
Yu could buy Niutou Ranch, this piece of land would be The small ranch will be given to Mr.
Yu.”
I am completely speechless for the rest of my life.
If he really bought these two pastures, one large and one small, it would be like adding two burdens, one large and one small, out of thin air.
There are only losses and no profits.
However, look at Alexander’s enthusiastic attitude.
It’s hard to refuse immediately for the rest of my life.
So, he said politely: "Then, I need to take a look at this small piece of pasture before I can make a decision."
This small piece of pasture is not too far from Niutou Pasture.
After getting up the next morning, Yu Sheng ate bread baked by Alexander's wife and poured with a thick layer of syrup.
After drinking a large glass of orange juice, he and Alexander mounted their horses and headed towards the small pasture.
After running for three hours, the two horses arrived at the basin at the foot of the mountain.
Wyoming Climate.
It varies greatly from region to region.
The average annual rainfall in the high mountain areas can reach more than 1,000 millimeters, so although the temperature is not high, the pasture grows luxuriantly.
All the ranches in Wyoming are built in these higher elevations of the Rocky Mountains.
But in the basin at the foot of the mountain, the average annual precipitation is only more than 100 millimeters.
It's a barren desert.
The small piece of pasture that Alexander bought back then was not originally a desert.

But don't know why.
The climate has changed in the past two years, and little pasture has grown.
When Yu Sheng and Alexander rode here, they saw a wilderness.
For the rest of my life, I kept smiling bitterly in my heart at such a wasteland.
There is really no investment value.
I should have given up yesterday.
However, now that we have arrived here, we can only relax and relax.
Yu Sheng jumped off the horse and walked slowly.
Carefully observe the vegetation and environment in the wilderness.
The vegetation in the red wasteland is generally pale yellow.
There is only a tiny trace of greenery.
It seems no different from other desert wastelands.
But after careful observation, Yu Sheng felt that something was wrong.
I took Ryan's hand and walked the horse for a while.
An idea came to Yu Sheng's mind.
He squatted down and picked up a handful of sand on the ground.
Hold it in your hand and observe carefully.
Like every desert, the main component of sand in the desert is quartz, that is, silica.
Silica, a substance, is not only widely distributed, but also in various forms.
Some textures are crystal clear and become gem-level crystal or agate.
The quartz stone here seems to be different from other places.
It is not the normal crystal clear and colorless stone.
Instead, it is mainly bright red.
Occasionally, two small pieces of pure crystal are mixed in, which turns out to be smoky quartz.
Fluorite, a mineral that is also widely distributed, actually appears as a lavender color in the sand.
For a liberal arts student who later paid attention to antiques and jewelry, these signs indicated that something was not normal here.
For the rest of his life he thought about the exciting possibility that there was a uranium mine here.
Uranium ore is not yet an essential strategic resource for every major country in this era.
Most research on radioactive materials is still concentrated in world-class laboratories in various countries.
However, Yu Sheng knew that more than a year later, the Americans would drop two atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan that would turn history upside down.
From then on, uranium, a mineral, became the object of competition among various countries.
Prices have skyrocketed to an incredible level.
In the United States, after the gold rush passed and uranium mines were booming, there were examples of people who became rich overnight after finding a uranium mine.
As for uranium, a strategic resource, Yu Sheng will naturally know something about it in later generations.
In fact, the most beautiful gemstones in nature are definitely not diamonds, rubies, sapphires, or top-grade glass-type Zhengyang green jade.
But uranium ore.
The raw minerals of uranium, such as uranium mica, copper-uranium mica, silico-uranite, vanadium-potassium uranium ore, and orange-yellow uranium ore, are colorful, ranging from green as soft as young grass to bright as goose-yellow, and most of them can be produced by themselves.
Radiate light.
If it weren't for the fact that its radioactivity is extremely harmful to the human body, it would really be better than other traditional jewelry.
When looking for uranium ores, in addition to uranium secondary minerals such as calcite mica, copper-uranite mica, silico-uranite, vanadium-potassium uranium ore, and orange-yellow uranium ore, they can be used as the basis for finding uranium ores.
There are two other important grounds for finding uranium deposits.
One is the discoloration effect of intergrown gangue minerals.
For example, fluorite turns purple, crystal turns smoky quartz, etc.
The other is to use characteristic wall rock alteration to search for uranium deposits.
Among the alterations related to uranium mineralization, there is a reddish alteration that turns quartz red.

Minerals containing ferrous iron will turn into red ferric iron after radioactivity, and the rest of their lives will be carefully observed.
When observing the red sand grains in my hand, I clearly found that it conforms to the characteristics of reddening alteration.
Not only is the color bright red, but there are also tiny black spots on the cleavage lines and irregular cracks of the quartz crystal, which should be particles. of hematite.
Combined with Wyoming's later proven uranium reserves.
Yu Sheng can basically conclude that there is a 90% chance that there is uranium ore under this desert.
Although it is not 100% certain, it is enough for Yu Sheng to take a chance.
Yu Sheng suppressed the excitement in his heart and breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing Yu Sheng's strange behavior, Alexander couldn't help but ask: "Mr.
Yu, is there any problem?"
Yu Sheng said: "Let me identify the soil quality.
After all, soil quality has a great impact on the growth of pasture, second only to precipitation."
Alexander shrugged in understanding.
The two wandered around the wilderness for a while, looking at every corner of this small pasture.
Yu Sheng and Alexander returned to the Cow Head Ranch.
After lunch, Alexander asked Yu Sheng: "Mr.
Yu, what are you thinking about?"
Yu Sheng said to Alexander: "I was not very satisfied with the Niutou Ranch at first.
After all, the price was slightly high.
However, today I found that the small ranch you gave me is really good.
Not only is it wide in area, but the scenery on the wilderness is very suitable for me."
Appetite.
So, let’s settle the deal at the price you said, Alexander, you can find a lawyer to help us sign the contract.”
Alexander was overjoyed: "Oh.
Mr.
Yu, you are really discerning.
You are definitely an excellent cowboy at heart."
After knowing the news, Alexander's wife and children were also overjoyed.
They could finally get rid of this hard work.
Tired of being an industry that has been losing money for years. so.
The Alexander family was very enthusiastic about the rest of their lives.
Draw up a contract with a lawyer.
After Yu Sheng and Alexander signed, Alexander said to Yu Sheng excitedly: "Mr.
Yu, my wife and children may need two more days.
Pack your luggage.
If Mr.
Yu is willing, we can go and drop off in the next two days."
How about hunting in Kishan?”
Yu Sheng's eyes lit up: "Hunting is a good idea."
Since ancient times, there has been no man who does not like hunting.
Whether it is Chinese or foreign emperors.
They will use various excuses to remain brave to reserve a hunting ground for themselves.
This kind of chasing and hunting seems to be an instinct engraved in the bones of men.
Even though I have been a human being for the rest of my life, I have never hunted.
After Alexander proposed it, Yu Sheng had a strong idea in his bones.
As if instinctively, he blurted out: "We will leave tomorrow."

In fact, from the perspective of American cowboys, hunting is normal.
The Rocky Mountains are extremely vast, with a total area of about 20,000 hectares.
And the altitude is very high.
There are 48 peaks with an altitude of more than 4,200 meters.
As a result, the Rocky Mountains have a very diverse climate and a wide variety of species.
Coniferous tree species such as ponderosa pine, Douglas fir, tent pine, larch, and spruce are widely distributed.
Hardy grasses, mosses, lichens, and low flowering plants of the alpine tundra can be found almost everywhere in the mountains.
And precisely because there are such lush and diverse aquatic plants and trees, there are also many kinds of animals in the Rocky Mountains.
Small mammals at lower elevations include tiny chipmunks, red squirrels, Columbian ground squirrels, and marmots.
Pikas and rabbits live in rock slides, and prairie dogs are active in drier valleys and plateaus.
Wildlife in the arid southern mountains include pronghorns, jack rabbits, peccaries, rattlesnakes and other desert animals.
Elk herds and grizzly bears can occasionally be seen among the trees.
In addition to mammals, raptors such as bald eagles, golden eagles, ospreys and peregrine falcons can be seen throughout the Rocky Mountains in summer.
Woodland and meadow birds include fringed grouse, spruce grouse, blue grouse, ptarmigan, Clark's star jay, gray jay and Steller's jay.
Waterfowl such as teal, sand cone, swan, etc.
The numerous hot springs in the Rocky Mountains provide wintering grounds for many birds, and the fish in the lakes provide abundant food.
So that they don't have to fly south to migrate.
Although, in this era, Americans have already developed an awareness of ecological protection.
Many rare and endangered animals are not allowed to be hunted.
However, some animals such as grouse, pikas and rabbits, which reproduce rapidly and in large numbers, are not included in this list.
And wolves, animals that pose a major hazard to animal husbandry, are not protected in this era.
At the beginning of the development of the western United States, wolves that had lived in the western United States for hundreds of thousands of years caused great harm to American livestock.
Therefore, many state governments in the western United States offered rewards for killing wolves.
Moreover, the amount is very high.
A large number of cowboys, while herding cattle and sheep, almost use hunting wolves as another side job to make money.
At the same time, it was completely normal for cowboys in Wyoming to hunt for a few days and catch some wild game for tusking.
Therefore, Alexander was familiar with hunting in the mountains.
He can clearly know what kind of prey is on which road, and where there are grizzly bears, which is more dangerous.
If you are camping overnight, what should you prepare?
Yu Sheng confirmed that there was no doubt about the contract drawn up with the help of the lawyer.
After signing and depositing the contract, with the help of Alexander, he packed up various items needed for hunting in the mountains and asked the Sharma to carry them.
Riding Ryan and taking the small dog, he headed straight into the forest of the Rocky Mountains.
It has to be said that when a person's physical fitness reaches a certain level, almost all sports will become a show of enjoyment for him.
With the keen senses of Yu Sheng, a martial arts master, after entering the mountain forest, he can find almost any animal hidden in the trees and corners.
Then he raised his gun and shot, hitting the target with one shot.
However, after all, Yu Sheng has no experience in surviving and hunting in the mountains and forests.
In the beginning, almost every animal I found was worth a shot for the rest of my life.
As a result, when I rushed over and took a look, I found that the animals that were hit were either very small rats or birds that had been turned into a ball of flesh and blood.
For these small animals, the power of bullets is still a bit greater.
With a slight rotation, half of the body will be shaved off.
Alexander was obviously more experienced than Yu Sheng.
Although his reaction speed and shooting accuracy were not as amazing as Yu Sheng's, he shot a fat rabbit that had just jumped out of the grass with only three shots.
It weighs a full five or six kilograms.
Yu Sheng felt that his face was really uneasy, so he said to the little dog: "Go and find the place for me":
