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

Su Chen asked Juan to clean up the clutter in the rest area.

Dazhuang's sleeping mat and food bowl were temporarily moved to the side of the spiritual spring.

Dazhuang was working at the mine and had no idea that his home had been moved.

Construction has begun.

Mike brought three workers and started digging the foundation on the east side of the rest area.

They dug half a meter deep, laid gravel, and poured concrete.

The reinforcing bars are tied at 20-centimeter intervals, and the concrete is smoothed.

While the workers were working, Dazhuang would come back from the mine to rest.

It walked to the spring, saw its own mat on the ground, and lay down.

The workers walked by without Dazhuang even looking up.

Mike glanced at Da Zhuang, then turned to Su Chen and said, "This bear isn't fierce at all."

"Very docile."

The next day, Su Chen went to town to order a mattress.

He found a shop that makes industrial waterproof mats and took their measurements.

It is 2.2 meters long, 1.6 meters wide, and 15 centimeters thick.

The materials must be waterproof, wear-resistant, and able to withstand a load of more than half a ton.

The boss did the math and quoted four hundred dollars.

Su Chen paid the deposit and said he would pick it up the next day.

He then bought special food bowls and water bowls.

Stainless steel, thickened version, 50 cm in diameter and 20 cm in depth.

The basin has a non-slip rubber ring at the bottom, so Dazhuang can't push it.

Emma accompanied the purchasing team and noted down the expenses in her notebook.

The bedding costs 400, and the food and water bowls cost 120, totaling 520, which will be included in the infrastructure expenditure.

At the mine, Dazhuang helped out in his spare time.

Mike needed some timber, but Juan couldn't move it, so Dazhuang picked it up with his mouth and delivered it to the construction site.

Mike took the wooden plank and patted Dazhuang on the head.

Thanks.

The ground reinforcement in the rest area has been completed.

After the concrete dries, the surface is very hard, and Dazhuang won't leave a pit when he steps on it.

The space has been expanded to twice its original size, and Dazhuang can turn around freely inside without bumping into the walls.

Two ventilation openings were made in the roof, and exhaust fans were installed.

The switch was connected to the entrance of the rest area, and Su Chen turned it on twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening, for half an hour each time.

On the third day, the mattress was ready.

Su Chen went to town to retrieve it and laid it out in the rest area.

Dazhuang lay down and tried it; the mattress sank under the weight, but it didn't collapse.

Dazhuang let out a growl, rested its head on its front paws, and closed its eyes.

Special food and water bowls are placed in the corner of the rest area.

Su Chen put meat in the food bowl, and Da Zhuang walked over and bent down to eat.

The basin was filled with spring water, and Dazhuang drank several large mouthfuls.

After Mike finished the inspection, Su Chen paid the remaining balance and gave him an extra two hundred dollars as a bonus.

Mike took the money and glanced at Da Zhuang.

"Mr. Su, if you have any future projects for this ranch, feel free to contact me."

Su Chen showed Da Zhuang around the new rest area.

Dazhuang went in, walked around, and lay down on the new mattress.

Hei Feng followed in and lay down next to Da Zhuang.

Lingfeng landed on Dazhuang's back.

Su Chen inspected all the access roads to the ranch.

The passageway around the livestock shed has been widened by half a meter so that Dazhuang won't bump into the wall when he passes by.

The access roads to the mining site were cleared and leveled, the gravel was removed, and the ground was compacted.

The area around the spring has been treated with anti-slip material, with a layer of coarse sand laid out so that Dazhuang won't slip when drinking water.

Emma drew a map of the ranch facilities, marking Da Zhuang's exclusive area and passageways.

She posted a copy of the picture in the study of the main house and another in the guardhouse.

Old Jack had memorized the route.

When visitors come to tour the area, he will inform them in advance which areas are off-limits to avoid running into Dazhuang.

All renovations are complete.

Dazhuang's work went more smoothly.

From the rest area to the mine site, then to the spiritual spring, and finally to the secret chamber, every path is wide and flat.

Dazhuang can walk without taking detours, which naturally improves his efficiency.

Su Chen stood at the entrance of the main house, watching Da Zhuang walk back from the mine, pass through the widened passage, and return to the rest area to lie down.

Black Fang followed behind, while Ling Feng landed on the rooftop.

Infrastructure is in place and ready.

......

Mayor George's car was parked at the ranch entrance. Old Jack registered the car and let it through.

George drove the car to the front of the main house, where Su Chen was already waiting.

"Su Chen, I came here today mainly to check on your situation."

George got straight to the point.

"The town's livestock exchange event is next month, and I would like to recommend you as the representative of Whitefish Town."

Su Chen took George to visit the livestock shed first.

The cattle were grazing in the pasture, with Big Flower leading the way and the calves following behind.

George stood by the fence and watched for several minutes.

"The cattle are in good condition, better than any other ranch in town."

"Good grass and good water mean good cattle."

George nodded without asking any further questions.

Su Chen took him to see the mining site, where Da Zhuang was working.

George stood at a distance and watched for more than ten seconds. Da Zhuang used his claws to gather the ore together with practiced ease.

"This bear really won't hurt anyone?"

"The veterinarian has issued a certificate stating that they are docile and controllable."

George took a few steps closer.

Dazhuang glanced at him and continued working.

George took a few more steps closer, but Da Zhuang ignored him.

George was completely relieved.

The water in the Lingquan area was very clear, and Dazhuang was lying there drinking water.

George crouched down to examine the water quality.

"This water is good."

"Mineral springs are good for livestock."

The cultural relics exhibition area is located next to Lingquan Spring.

Emma was explaining the history of the Blackfoot tribe to the tourists, and George went over and listened for a while.

There were quite a few tourists, and most of them were looking at the exhibits carefully.

George turned to Su Chen and said, "Your ranch has become the signature attraction of Whitefish Town."

Su Chen didn't reply.

During the visit, an unfamiliar vehicle approached the boundary of the ranch.

Ling Feng immediately issued a warning, and Hei Feng led the wolf pack to surround them.

Dazhuang stood up from the Spirit Spring area and walked in that direction.

An unfamiliar vehicle stopped outside the fence. The people inside looked at it through binoculars for a few seconds, then quickly reversed and drove away.

George witnessed the entire process firsthand.

From early warning to encirclement to deterrence, the entire process took less than three minutes.

"Your security is even better than the town's police station."

Su Chen smiled.

George returned to the town hall and explained the situation at Sunset Ranch to the council.

He emphasized Su Chen's role in driving the town's economy, and also mentioned the veterinary certificate and the improved security system.

Parliament unanimously agreed to publicly commend Su Chen.

The news spread throughout Whitefish Town.

The residents' attitude towards Su Chen and the ranch completely changed, and the person who had previously spread rumors took the initiative to come to the guardhouse to apologize to Old Jack.

Old Jack didn't make things difficult for them; he let them through after they registered.

The number of visitors to the cultural relics exhibition area has surged.

Emma's appointments are booked until next month, and she's so busy every day she barely has time to breathe.

When tourists arrive at the ranch, they take photos with Dazhuang from a distance.

Dazhuang is very cooperative; he does his work when he needs to and rests when he needs to, without being evasive or aggressive.

Small and medium-sized ranchers in the surrounding area contacted Su Chen, hoping to learn from his breeding experience.

Su Chen created a group to share methods of rotational grazing and pasture improvement.

When asked about Dazhuang, Su Chen only said "docile and controllable" and didn't say anything more.

When Goldstein came to collect the ore, he saw the changes in the ranch and proactively raised the buyback price.

The price rose from $10,000 per ton to $11,000.

"Mr. Su, your ranch is getting bigger and bigger. I'd like to establish a long-term partnership with you."

Dazhuang mined more than five tons of ore that day.

Juan weighed himself twice to make sure the number was correct.

Five tons and three hundred pounds.

Emma compiled the monthly financial data.

Mineral revenue increased by more than $20,000 compared to last month, livestock revenue grew steadily, and ticket revenue from the cultural relics exhibition area tripled.

In the evening, Su Chen stood in the center of the ranch.

Dazhuang walked back from the mine, passed through the widened passage, and returned to the rest area to lie down.

Black Fang led his pack of wolves back from patrolling the fence and lay down at the entrance to the rest area.

Lingfeng descended from the sky and landed on Dazhuang's back.

Juan and Luis were packing up their tools, while old Jack was registering the last group of tourists in the guardhouse.

Emma was organizing financial statements in the main house's living room.

On this day, Sunset Ranch's reputation, strength, and public image in Whitefish Town all saw a significant surge.

Su Chen turned and went back to the main house.

Hei Feng followed, and Ling Feng flew up from the rooftop to lead the way.

Dazhuang was snoring softly in the rest area, as if he were saying goodnight to Su Chen.

Su Chen pushed open the door to the main house, and Emma looked up at him.

"Today's visitor numbers have reached a new record high."

Su Chen nodded and walked to the study to sit down.

He opened the system panel and glanced at the data.

Extremely satisfied.

......

Su Chen pushed open the main gate and walked towards the cattle shed for high-quality calves.

Hei Feng ran over from the direction of the guardhouse and followed behind him.

Ling Feng flew up from the roof and headed ahead towards the livestock shed.

Su Chen walked to the entrance of the livestock shed, where the eighteen calves had already woken up.

Some were grazing, some were drinking water, and some were strolling around the activity area.

Hearing footsteps, the calves raised their heads and looked towards the door.

Su Chen pushed open the gate and went inside.

The calves didn't dodge; some even came over and nuzzled his hand with their noses.

Su Chen reached out and touched the back of the calf that was closest to him.

Its muscles are firm, its bones are strong, its fur is smooth, and it feels completely different from two months ago.

He opened the system panel and glanced at it.

[Status of the herd of high-quality calves]

Quantity: 18

Variety purity: 90%

Average weight: 520 pounds
