Start by trimming cow hooves

the next day.

After Suri finished breakfast, she went out for a walk as before.

Lanai Island, which has been the same for thousands of years, has undergone many changes since welcoming his new island owner.

For example, the number of roads on the island was increased by approximately 23 kilometers last year.

There are also newly opened pastures and farms, with a total area of ​​thousands of acres. The land is very fertile. The only problem is that there is still a lack of water.

For this purpose, experts from Stanford University were contacted to lay a large number of mist-catching nets in the forest of Lanai Ridge to collect water sources and funnel them into the artificial lake. In addition, a small agricultural aircraft was purchased to provide artificial rainfall in cloudy weather. .

The temperature difference between day and night on Lanai is large, and dew is likely to occur in the early morning. The demand for water supply during pasture planting is not too great.

With several artificial lakes that collect rainwater, as well as seawater desalination and sewage treatment equipment, as long as there is no severe drought, it can basically achieve independent water supply. The electricity consumed is mainly generated through photovoltaic, wind and tidal energy.

In order to earn an annual income of more than 10 million US dollars, it can be said that it is a lot of money. The entire island now raises more than 4,500 Wagyu cattle, and the number of mutton sheep has dropped to 300.

Compared with the profits generated by ranching, the majority is still generated by tourism.

The first choice of tourists for sightseeing has quietly changed from Kualoa Ranch to Lanai Island, which has more entertainment options. Last year, it received a total of more than 160,000 tourists.

During the peak seasons, Four Seasons Hotels are basically hard to find a room. What limits the increase in revenue performance is not not enough tourists, but too few hotel rooms available to the outside world.

When Suri finished visiting the cute black-nosed sheep and walked to the construction site of the new hotel named "Whale Hotel", she could see a large unfinished swimming pool, and workers were busy laying tiles recently.

Each guest room is also in the stage of hard decoration. There are a total of 399 five-star guest rooms. Each one can enjoy the huge swimming pool. When the water is poured into the pool and the lights are turned on at night, it will definitely become an internet celebrity. Due to the potential of the land, it is not expected to open until April or May next year.

Driving a convertible version of the Rolls-Royce Phantom, Suri went to the Four Seasons Hotel for a cup of coffee at around nine in the morning and chatted with the Kona manager.

Then he went to the old cowboy Andy and wanted to ask him to take a horseback ride and find out the current situation of the tuna seine farm.

When I met old Andy.

This experienced cowboy was busy arranging his employees to drive the calves to the pasture. After being exposed to the sun, the dew on the grass blades quickly evaporated, making it suitable for use as fodder.

After just chatting for a few words, Little Rock asked quietly from the side:

"How is Thalia lately? You have made her a big star, but now no one is good enough for her. When we were drinking with friends some time ago, we said that everyone was broken in love."

Su Rui laughed dumbly and said speechlessly:

"Are you still thinking about her? The last time I saw Talia was in April. Everything was going well. I seem to have bought an apartment in Los Angeles."

"...In other words, I have no plans to come back, right? Do you think I have the potential to become an actor?"

After listening.

Suri smiled and said nothing. He did not lack resources and opportunities, but Hollywood was full of actors with better conditions, so there was no need to praise the insignificant Rock Jr.

So he just replied:

"The actor industry attaches great importance to acting skills and appearance. Talia is remembered mainly because of her beauty. You should just keep raising cattle steadily. You were also full of confidence at the beginning, thinking that you could win "Alone in the Wild" 》championship, and then almost starved to death. I cried so miserably in front of the camera.”

The old cowboy Andy added: "Yes, in order to earn that 500,000 US dollars and lose a few months of income, it is better to be a good cowboy seriously. You can't even remember my announcement, how can you recite such a long one? Lines?"

If he helps Little Rock become an actor, the other cowboys on the ranch will surely become disillusioned and start to despise their current job, and then the team will no longer be able to lead them.

in addition.

Suri has already appointed too many actors and directly bypassed the audition process. Although the results have proven to be good, many actors inevitably have opinions on this and believe that Netflix's approach is unfair.

Even Daddario is considered to have relied on hugging his thighs to get to the top... Although it makes sense, it always makes Daddario very angry.

Seeing Suri talking about being ugly in a roundabout way, Little Rock rolled his eyes at him and said:

"If I hadn't been physically unable to bear it and was forced to withdraw from the competition, I would definitely have won the $500,000 bonus. Unfortunately, there is a lack of large game around the camp. As long as I encounter a deer or wild boar, everything will be different."

Suri did not comment on this. Luck is also a very important part. Some contestants of the "Alone in the Wild" variety show had no choice but to withdraw from the competition because they accidentally fell ill.

For example, in the first season, there were unlucky people who developed fever and diarrhea because they ate sashimi directly. There were also people who lost their axes and were unable to build a wooden house, so they chose to leave in despair.

Little Rock's figure is already thin. Compared with many contestants who have a lot of fat reserves, he lost at the starting line before even comparing.

Suri continued:

"In two or three years, I may plan a rematch, and select ten lucky people from the previous seasons of "Into the Wild" contestants, and you will have a chance to win the $500,000."

"real!?"

Little Rock's eyes lit up instantly, and he ran away in a hurry, saying that he was going to eat more burgers and turn himself into a fat man.

Seeing that this guy was not interested in working, he got on his Harley motorcycle and drove away.

Old Andy sighed:

"You shouldn't tell him. Little Rock's character is rather... strange. It took a long time before he came out after the last competition. He always sighed every time he spoke and felt that he had lost 500,000 US dollars. Now he is even less interested. I will focus on taking care of these cows.”

Suri shook her head and said it didn't matter, and suggested:

"You can tell him that if you don't work hard, you won't get the chance to participate in the semi-finals. Isn't that okay? Do you want to participate in "Alone in the Wild"? I feel that your personality is relatively stable and you know more things. I can arrange for you to go to the next season.”

Old Andy was very self-aware and shook his head decisively and said:

"I'm very satisfied with my life now, and I'm good at using shotguns, not fishing, bows and arrows or traps. It's hard to compete with contestants who are crazy about making money. They can push themselves I can't do that if I go to a desperate situation, gnaw tree bark, eat mice, or endure the pain of having my toes frozen to the point of being almost necrotic."

The bonus of US$500,000 is only equal to more than two years of the old cowboy's salary.

Since if you help Suri take care of the ranch carefully, you can earn enough wealth for daily expenses, there is really no need to do anything extra, not to mention whether he can win the game is hard to say.

Suri smiled and said:

"That's right. Without you here at the ranch, it's hard for me to rest assured. Others can't raise such great cattle. My dad said that there are often customers from Green Turtle Supermarket asking when they can buy Wagyu beef from Lanai. There are restaurants that are willing to pay high prices to make reservations in advance..." (End of Chapter)
