Inheriting a dilapidated ranch in North America, he became a billionaire through animal taming and t

Su Chen stood at the entrance of the main house, staring at the dilapidated wooden house where he had lived for almost two months.

The paint on the walls is almost completely peeling off, and the wooden planks of the porch creak and groan when you step on them.

The tarpaulin on the roof fluttered loudly in the wind.

Montana's rainy season is still a month away.

But whether this dilapidated house can hold out until then is hard to say.

He opened the system panel and glanced at the account.

They sell gold coins, cultural relics, and silver ingots.

In addition to the income from beef and ore from the ranch during this period.

There was nearly $400,000 in the account.

I've heard quite a bit about it.

But when it comes to infrastructure projects, the money is mostly just going to make a noise.

You still have to spend money.

Su Chen opened his notebook and began making a list.

The main house must be rebuilt.

This dilapidated wooden house gets down to minus twenty degrees Celsius in winter, and the heating costs alone could bankrupt him.

He plans to build a main house in the American country style.

Two-story building with four bedrooms, two living rooms, a garage, and a tool shed, with a building area of ​​approximately 200 square meters.

It also features smart home technology, whole-house underfloor heating, and central air conditioning.

It's comfortable to live in, and it's befitting of a rancher's status.

The livestock sheds also need to be upgraded.

Now more than a hundred Angus cattle are crammed into an old shed.

Although the system has optimized the meat quality and health, the living environment is just too terrible.

He plans to build ten standardized cattle sheds.

It is equipped with an intelligent constant temperature, humidity and ventilation system, and the floor is covered with non-slip flooring.

Then install automatic feeding and watering equipment.

If the cattle are living comfortably, the process of improving meat quality can also be accelerated.

The treasure chamber also needs to be reinforced.

That secret room is now a partitioned room in the basement of the main house.

A brick wall, an ordinary security door—it can be smashed open with a single hammer blow.

If someone targets us, we'll lose everything.

He plans to replace the walls with reinforced concrete and install a bank vault-level security door.

It is further equipped with intelligent monitoring and alarm systems.

The interior is further divided into sections, with gold coins, silver coins, antiques, and ores stored separately.

The irrigation system also needs to be upgraded.

The ranch now relies on that spring well and a simple sprinkler system.

The coverage area is too small, and many grasslands are still dependent on the weather.

He plans to install a fully automated irrigation system to cover the entire ranch.

The forage planting area, the area around the livestock shed, and all pastures are all included.

The system automatically adjusts the amount and timing of watering based on soil moisture and weather conditions.

The four upgrades combined will cost at least $300,000.

Su Chen gritted his teeth. Fine, I'll spend it. You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub.

He drove to Kalispel, found a reputable construction company, and spent the entire afternoon talking with the project manager.

The other party quoted: 150,000 for rebuilding the main house, 80,000 for upgrading the livestock shed, 50,000 for the irrigation system, and 20,000 for reinforcing the sealed room, for a total of 300,000.

The construction period is twenty days.

Su Chen negotiated for a long time and finally settled on a price of 285,000 yuan before signing the contract.

It was already evening when we got back to the ranch.

Su Chen called Juan and Louis over and explained the work for tomorrow.

"The construction team will be coming tomorrow. The main house will be demolished and rebuilt. You two will be responsible for cleaning up the construction waste and leveling the land."

Juan nodded.

"Boss, where do we put the things inside when we demolish the house?"

"Move the furniture and miscellaneous items to the temporary tent. Keep the useful ones and throw away the useless ones."

Su Chen set up two large tents on the open ground next to the livestock shed.

One is for my own residence, and the other serves as a temporary storage room.

He lived in a tent during the construction period, and the conditions were rather basic.

But it's only for twenty days, just bear with it and it will pass.

......

Early the next morning.

The construction team drove heavy machinery into the ranch.

The foreman leading the team was named Mike, and he was in his forties.

He had a big beard and a loud voice, but he was efficient at his work.

He walked around the main house and shook his head.

"This dilapidated house should have been demolished long ago; the wood is all rotten, it would collapse with a single push."

Su Chen nodded.

"Let's begin."

The excavator roared in, its bucket aimed at the wall of the main house.

With one push, the entire wall collapsed, sending dust flying high into the air.

Juan and Luis, wearing masks, drove their pickup truck back and forth transporting construction waste.

Black Fang led his wolf pack to guard the perimeter, preventing any strangers from approaching.

Su Chen stood not far away.

Looking at the dilapidated wooden house where I had lived for two months turned into a pile of broken wood, I couldn't quite describe the feeling in my heart.

More than two months ago.

He was a penniless guy with only a little over a hundred dollars left in his pocket, and now he's building a new house.

Emma rushed over from town, carrying a stack of blueprints.

"Su Chen, I've designed the layout of the main house for you. Take a look."

Su Chen took it and flipped through it; the drawings were very professional.

The room is divided into a bedroom, living room, study, storage room, and pet rest area, with clear functional zones and a reasonable flow of movement.

The American country style is simple and elegant, much like what he had in mind.

"Okay, let's do it this way."

Emma smiled.

"I also reserved a rest area for the pets, with several nests and food bowls for Black Fang and the others."

Su Chen was quite surprised; he hadn't expected her to have even considered this.

Thanks.

The construction team worked quickly, demolishing the main house in one day and starting to dig the foundation.

Mike was marking lines on the foundation with his surveying instruments when he suddenly frowned.

"Mr. Su, come and take a look."

Su Chen walked over and looked in the direction Mike was pointing.

The ground at the southwest corner of the foundation is noticeably lower than the rest of the site.

I stepped on the soil; it was loose and a little damp.

"The soil on this plot of land is not good and its bearing capacity is insufficient. If we lay the foundation directly on it, the house will sink and the walls will crack in two years."

Su Chen's heart tightened.

"How do we solve this?"

"Remove this layer of soft soil, replace it with gravel and concrete, and reinforce the foundation."

"It will take two more days, and the cost of materials and labor will be about three thousand US dollars."

Three thousand dollars, thankfully, it's within my budget.

"Okay, I'll change it."

Su Chen knew that this kind of money couldn't be saved.

The foundation is the foundation of a house; if there are problems with it, it will cause even more trouble.

The construction team began reinforcing the foundation by digging away the soft soil, filling it with gravel, pouring concrete, and compacting it with a vibrator.

Su Chen spends every day squatting on the construction site to keep an eye on things and ensure that the quality meets the standards.

At the same time, the upgrading of livestock sheds is also being carried out simultaneously.

Su Chen contacted Luke.

We purchased a batch of building materials, including steel bars, cement, insulation boards, and anti-slip flooring, which filled two large trucks.

Luke personally delivered the goods and was amazed by the scale of the ranch's construction.

"Brother Su, you're about to make a big splash!"

Su Chen smiled.

"Build a solid foundation, and you'll have less to worry about later."

Luke gave a thumbs up.

"That's bold."

Juan and Luis were in charge of unloading the goods and sorting and stacking the building materials.

Black Fang and several wolves stood guard nearby, preventing anyone from getting close.

The construction team split into two groups: one group worked on the main house, and the other group worked on the livestock shed.

At the livestock shed, the workers first dismantled the old feeding troughs and waterers in the old cattle shed.

Then they began building a new cowshed.

The structure consists of a steel frame, insulated walls, an insulated roof, and non-slip flooring.

Su Chen stood to the side watching, already planning the scene after the cattle herd moved in.

When the new cowshed was halfway built, Su Chen took some time to visit a precious metals recycler in Kalispel.

I'm preparing to sell some of the silver ingots I have.

Of the twenty-four silver ingots he dug up last time, he kept ten and didn't sell them.

Infrastructure funding is a bit tight right now, so this is a good opportunity to invest.
