Chapter 1192: Chapter 1194
Gong Ruini had never entered the room where Zhao Xuran and the others lived, but she knew it must be messy.
Originally, Zhao Guangran and the others were constantly studying the stock market, and there were piles of documents just casually lying around.
When Zhao Xuran came over, he was also very busy, and the documents piled up even more.
Zhao Xuran is a neat freak and absolutely cannot stand a messy room, yet he didn’t expect it to be such a mess.
What’s going on here? Could it be that after a trip around the United States, everything about him has changed dramatically?
Zhao Xuran was also quite helpless about the room’s mess, "It’s a bit messy."
A bit messy, is this a bit messy? Gong Ruini looked at the messy room and really didn’t know where to start.
She thought of helping to tidy up but didn’t know where to begin, let alone figure out which documents Zhao Guangran and the others needed.
Zhao Xuran pulled Gong Ruini to a slightly open space and sat down on the sofa by the window.
"Don’t worry about it; Guangran will handle it anyway."
"By the way, Guangran told me that there might be a nice ranch for sale in a few days and asked if we were interested in checking it out." Zhao Xuran thought it would be good to take a stroll while they could.
Zhao Xuran thought that during this visit to the United States, he had only been to New York and not many other places.
Zhao Xuran was indifferent since they had already settled on a place to stay when they come to the United States in the future.
He was just worried that Gong Ruini would be unhappy when they returned, saying they came all the way to the United States but didn’t visit many places or take any memorable photos.
A ranch? Buying a ranch so soon, buying a house because Zhao Gang provided the money, spending just like that.
But a ranch wouldn’t be cheaper than an apartment, and more importantly, can they get a loan?
Even if they could get a loan, where would they find the down payment, and how would they manage future loans?
Gong Ruini thought about it and got a headache; these are all problems, why hadn’t Zhao Xuran noticed them?
It’s not that Zhao Xuran hadn’t noticed, but he thought these weren’t problems, "It’s just a look, that’s all."
"I heard the environment over there is nice; we can go horseback riding at the ranch when the time comes."
He often heard his wife mention that she wanted to ride horses on the grassland. Although they’d been to the grasslands before, it wasn’t as good as expected.
"Ah, go horseback riding?" Is this a visit to check out an investment or a leisurely trip? To Gong Ruini, it sounded like the latter.
It’s rare; Gong Ruini stared at Zhao Xuran, confused by his unusual behavior.
Zhao Xuran looked embarrassed, "Um, do you not want to go."
Well, he was busy before, but there was no other way, with so many things to handle, he had to go out and deal with them.
It’s different after arriving in the United States; even if he worried about domestic matters, he couldn’t just fly back.
Besides, his father had said that when they returned, he would take their mother out on a trip for them to relax a bit.
Although he didn’t mention how long they would be out, it certainly wouldn’t be short and could very well be two months.
Since his father had such plans, he should enjoy his time in America even more.
"We can stop by Harvard when the time comes."
"It seems like the Five Great Lakes aren’t far; we should take a look too." Although it’s just a lake, to someone who’s seen the ocean, it might not seem spectacular, but it’s a famous site, so not visiting would be a waste.
"If we have time, we can also visit the big waterfall." Zhao Xuran took out the notes he made over the past few days and showed them to Gong Ruini.
Taking the notebook from Zhao Xuran’s hand, Gong Ruini’s first reaction was that Zhao Xuran must have had some money-making ideas recently; otherwise, why take notes? She never expected to be so stunned as she read.
In a notebook usually for business notes, places to visit and tour are written, my goodness, Gong Ruini was shocked.
Clearly, a money-crazy person suddenly not caring about making money, although there were no tasks for investment and income, Gong Ruini decided not to consider it.
No matter how you think about earning money to buy a ranch, those are just ideas for now, "Okay, let’s have a good look around when the time comes."
"We should find a nice ranch."
Gong Ruini, although never having been to a ranch before, read a novel about running a ranch in the United States.
She remembered it mentioned running ranch tours, as noted in several novels, and felt it was worth considering.
No, it’s not about considering, but about actually doing it, "What do you think about running a ranch tour route in the future."
A ranch tour route? Well, although Zhao Xuran thought Gong Ruini was overthinking, considering there’re many issues in the United States to solve,
But more importantly, "Tickets are expensive, and visas are not easy."
They have assets, and someone in America issued invitation letters, but getting a visa was still not easy.
For the average person, even if they could bear the high cost of air tickets, what about the visa?
"Oh, and then there’s the language." Despite studying for a long time domestically and frequently communicating with foreigners, arriving in the United States still made everything confusing.
Only after spending a few days acclimatizing in America did Zhao Xuran feel his English skills improved.
There are many issues, but they’re not problems, "If they can’t even afford a ticket to the United States, I worry if they come, they might not want to go back."
"Anyway, once we have money, sending them an invitation is no big deal, and we could engage some local students as translators." Yeah, aren’t many students here just washing dishes in restaurants?
Back home, they’re elites, but in America, they wash dishes. Would they be willing? Wouldn’t they have thoughts?
By offering them a decent job, surely someone would want it, "Including tips with wages, do you think they’d refuse?"
Hiring a professional translator would only drive up costs, while hiring students would not only be cheaper but avoid offending fellow countrymen.
"And those rich folks knowing they can play in America would definitely be tempted." At this stage, they could easily target wealthy people nearby for tourism.
"What do you think?" Anyway, Gong Ruini was excited; having planned to invest in a ranch, they couldn’t naively wait for cattle sales to recoup the investment.
After buying a ranch, they’d owe money to American banks, best to have a stable monthly source of income.
Initially, Zhao Xuran thought Ni Zi was simplifying things; this wasn’t like at home where connections could smooth things over that easily.
But now, he thinks the plan is absolutely feasible, "Okay, I’ll discuss it with Guangran."
Investing in a ranch could be done by the two of them, but connecting with students or hosting domestic tour groups requires Zhao Guangran’s involvement.
