Chapter 183
After hearing this, Mike said, "It's a good idea. There are natural open sites and private land. No matter how you renovate it, no one will take care of it. The land maintenance cost is almost zero, but other expenses will be very high. For example, this event may not necessarily make a profit in the end."
An Feng didn't care: "I don't care how much profit it is. It's good to maintain cost operation. I think this kind of folk weapon shooting activity is very exciting. Everyone can participate together and exchange experiences with each other. It is impossible to make a profit in holding an event, but can you earn fame, right?"
Mike smiled and said, "I found you really are a pure military fan."
An Feng asked: "So you can do it?"
"Why not?" Mike asked, "As long as you are willing to invest, I have many ways to let more people know that through the relationship of friends or the publicity of the association, there will be a shooting exhibition here in winter, so that everyone can gather together and enjoy an afternoon filled with smoke."
An Feng fisted him: "Trade."
An Feng didn't have any complicated ideas. He just thought it was fun to play with guns together. The scene was hot and exciting. For this, he was just paying two or three million US dollars more. For his current concept of money consumption, he was just for fun.
Some rich people are willing to spend hundreds of thousands of yuan to change their Jockey Club membership, and don’t participate a few times a year, just to be high-end and show their attitude towards life. An Feng also spent millions of yuan to hold a shooting exhibition a year to make it lively, so that everyone can know how rich people are relaxing.
That night they took out the content they had filmed or recorded. When An Feng participated in the air shooting, he put on a tactical helmet and mounted a camera to record the most popular scenes of air shooting. He uploaded the video to Youtube that night and shared it with netizens.
At the same time, some of them have meager updates in China, earning a few fans.
Later, I discussed the details with Mike. The shooting range in the backyard of Gun Shop could be expanded a little further. Because it is close to the reservoir, the hunting ground is on the other side, and the plains along the coast are far away, forming an idle woodland. It is better to develop it to build a larger open-air shooting range.
Further, the shooting range is too big and can also provide convenience for aerial shooting. For example, although it is fun to play today, the plane always turns back and forth in one place, which is not exciting enough. Also, a off-road lane is built around, which is specially designed for off-road vehicles, military vehicles or tanks to run around the field. It is not necessarily necessary to play guns at the shooting range, which can be developed in a multi-faceted manner. It is also very creative to shoot at the targets on the field while driving.
An Feng had many ideas, and gradually developed this land into a private land that integrates a private arsenal, hunting ground, and leisure resort. If you have nothing to do, just fly to hunt, play with guns. Enjoy a few days of rural life and relax your body and mind. Isn’t this the back garden?
...
Dinner was still beef in the refrigerator, and no one mentioned camping again after the meal. They were all staying in the house obediently. Four men gathered around the sofa and played cards until late at night. They went back to their own nests, and the remaining two were on the floor. Anyway, there was heating in the house. It was still hot to cover a blanket in winter.
The next day, everyone went to the gun shop to get their favorite weapons and officially entered the mountain.
This time I had a whole day to enjoy the life of jungle hunting. Except for the surrounding area of Gun Shop and the river bank plains, the other areas of the hunting ground are all forests. They are not steep, but there are dense trees and no roads. I can only step out step by step, the view is not spacious, and hunting requires very high skills.
Five hunting dogs acted together, and four hunters participated. The ladies were not interested in entering the mountain. They obviously had too much fun yesterday and had no favoritism for guns for the time being. Moreover, hunting requires patience and physical strength. Even Joanna felt tired, let alone other women.
I walked around and walked around the dense woods. Maybe the animals were hibernating and didn’t see much activity. I walked from one end of the forest to the other, don’t underestimate the seven or eight kilometers of journey. It took a mountain road, which was enough to take a whole morning. However, I had more ingredients to play and didn’t feel tired.
The hands were empty, but the hunting dog contributed several rabbits along the way.
Everyone stopped to adjust and continued to act in the afternoon. The emperor paid off. Finally, he found a herd of deer on the edge of the hunting ground. There were a lot of deer numbers. Some were crossing the road unscrupulously, and some were still in the middle of the road in a daze. This is how traffic accidents in the United States hit animals usually come.
"Each person looks for their own target!" An Feng said, holding the gun with his gun on Shuping. The weeds around him were too dense. He obviously had no shooting vision when he squatted down.
When you are ready, An Feng's accuracy stays on one of the deer, with more than a dozen forked horns on his head, which is extremely rare. The deer's head is used as a decorative specimen.
Just as he held his breath and was about to knock down this top-quality product with one shot, someone opened fire first! The gunshot sounded through the sky, alarming the deer herd, and the prey in the scope jumped away in a conditioned reflex. Before An Feng could shoot, the prey disappeared.
He found that he had made a mistake. The four of them obviously could not fire one after another. As long as one fired, the others would basically lose their target. The first person to fire this time was Wang Le. This guy was average in shooting skills, so the target was simple: a deer that was not big or small, with five forks.
Henry put away his gun and said, "There is a plain outside, and you can still chase after it!"
After saying that, he urged the hunting dog to chase after him. Everyone was stunned and immediately reacted and chased after him with a gun.
The deer was running in panic. Behind him was a group of hunting dogs chasing him. The dogs barked one after another. The deer scattered into two parts. Some escaped along the road and quickly disappeared at the other end of the woods. The other part crossed the road and ran wildly along the plain.
They caught up with the deer crossing the road, with no tree barriers around them, and their vision was extremely spacious, with no more than three hundred meters away, so they could beat the sniper rifle.
Just as they squatted down to find their targets, Henry reminded: "Don't open fire! There is a private territory over there!"
An Feng quickly shouted at the hunting dog, "Come back!"
"Shit!" Roger cursed, "I stared at it for a long time, and it was a dozen forks! It actually ran away!"
An Feng also sighed: "So much of mine!"
Wang Le comforted: "At least we can get a deer."
Everyone looked back at Wang Le, who was a little proud, and there was no way, he killed the deer.
An Feng's mouth is full of sourness: "Don't be lucky!"
Wang Lexiao: "Haha!"
"Let's go up and take a look." Roger suggested, obviously still unwilling to accept it.
Everyone followed up and saw a walk along the highway. There was a large piece of flat land opposite and a wide river. The deer had already run to the riverside and must have been active nearby. Occasionally, they would come to the jungle on the Anfeng side to explore the road, but they would not be too far from the water source.
Henry looked into the distance: "The location is so good, with grass and water sources, not only deer, but also many other wild animals."
An Feng thought: "Can you discuss with the landlord and let us shoot a deer?"
Roger shook his head: "The owners of these private lands in Texas have a weird temper, some are very refreshing, and some ignore people at all. Moreover, the two deer we like have so many forks, and at any time it is the choice of collectors. Even if there are, they will not be distributed to us."
An Feng was depressed: "Is it still possible to hunt well..."
Henry looked around: "It seems that no one is moving across the street."
Roger reminded him: "Don't make this idea! The laws here are different from California. You trespass on private territory and hold a gun. You deserve it."
An Feng casually said, "Can't you buy that piece of land?"
When Roger heard this, he laughed: "Of course, as long as the price you offer is satisfied with the other party, it should not be difficult for you."
An Feng shrugged and called the hound back: "Let's take the prey back first. The deer is opposite, and we can't get through."
...
When they were exploring how to peel off the deer skin, An Feng told Lawrence, the manager of the ranch, about what happened just now, venting his depression, and asking who the territory was, whether it was easy to talk to. Lawrence said: "I don't know whose land is, but it has been idle for a long time and has been listed for sale recently. There are also several surrounding lands for sale due to severe drought this year."
When An Feng heard this, he felt that the heavens were so beautiful.
He took the laptop to surf the Internet and checked the land information around it on the professional website. Sure enough, there was sales information in this area, both large and small, and the important point was that because it was remote, although the land was flat, it was not fertile, and the farmland could not be damaged. He could only plant some trees or grazing.
Therefore, its price is very cheap, which is not the sky-high price of Anfeng's current land.
After all, it can only plant some trees or serve as pastures. Unlike Anfeng, a little renovation is residential land, agricultural land, and natural pasture areas, so thousands of acres are only tens of millions of dollars... He pulled the map and looked through the canal. It was a forest and also sold information. Since the mountain could not do anything, it was cheaper. I heard that it could only be used as a hunting ground, and other uses were difficult to use.
Anfeng added up several pieces of land sold, totaling more than 20,000 acres, with a total price of only more than 30 million points. Among them, there is also a large area of flat land. Even if it is built an airport, there is no problem. The longest area is more than ten kilometers, and the shortest one is about 300 meters, which can be connected with it.
I feel a little regretful about why I didn’t look at the one over there, but there is a reason to think about it carefully. I asked to get close to the city because the gun shop was built on the roadside and there was also a beautiful natural scenery. Obviously, these lands do not meet the three conditions, so it would be strange if they were not excluded.
Now it is different. These lands can be connected together. As a coherent private territory, one piece can be used for leisure, another large piece can be used as a hunting ground or ranch, and then built an airport or something. In the future, your plane will be parked here directly. Wouldn't it be much more convenient?
After thinking about it, he drove a helicopter to idly around the land sold.
The conditions are naturally not as good as those on the south bank of the reservoir, but the land is flat. Occasionally, there are some woods and wild animals are living under it. Due to the long-term use, there is a good-growing grass along the river. It flies further away and gradually turns into a high and low mountain with a low altitude, but it is not easy to use it commercially.
It is fifteen kilometers farthest from his existing hunting ground, which is a very spectacular distance. It must be a luxury as a hunting ground. An Feng looked back and forth several times and felt good. After hesitating, in his American account, in addition to the tax reserved amount, there are more than 100 million blanks.
In addition, you will also need to reduce the 50 million yuan of land for bidding for Santa Barbara next year, which is a lot left. You can spend another 30 million yuan to buy the surrounding land in one go, be a big landlord, and build a plane runway to use it as a private airport to facilitate your back and forth trips.
