Lisco's American Life

At present, some media organizations have assessed the value of this ranch, which has reached a price of US$800 million. At this price, there are still people applying to purchase it, but the owner of the ranch, which is currently in good operating condition, has no intention of selling it.

This ranch has always been the representative of all ranch industry practitioners. In order to win the votes of cowboys and ensure his re-election, the then president, Master Ross, visited and inspected this ranch many times.

As soon as Lisko walked to the entrance of the airport, he saw a cowboy holding a sign. The letters "Mr. Lisko" on it were particularly eye-catching outside the airport and could be seen from the crowd at a glance.

Looking at Lisko who was walking straight over and David who was carrying luggage behind him, the leading cowboy took out the photo in the side pocket of his jacket, compared it carefully, confirmed his identity, and immediately came forward.

"gentlemen."

The two cowboys leaned down towards Lisko, took off their cowboy hats at the same time, covered their chests, and said greetings.

"We were sent by Mr. Ian to greet you, and at the same time convey the boss's greetings to him. I'm sorry that he didn't come to greet you in person. The boss is currently preparing lunch at the ranch."

Lisko nodded and did not express any dissatisfaction because Ian did not come to pick him up in person. After all, he came here with a request this time, and Ian did not ask for anything from him, so there was no need for such a big welcome.

"It doesn't matter, can we just go there now?"

"Yes, please get in the car. By the way, my name is Ace, and I am the manager of the ranch. I welcome you on behalf of Wagner Ranch."

Lisko got into the car, followed closely by David. This was a magnificent Lincoln car. As the national car of the United States, the Lincoln series has been spread among the upper class for its steady and solid reputation. Even the president's car is this brand.

.

Many people purchase several cars as welcome cars for their homes.

After Lisko sat down, the cowboy who drove the car started the car smoothly, left the crowded airport, and rushed towards the ranch.

"Sir, may I introduce you to the ranch first?"

Ace was afraid that the car ride would be boring, so he started chatting first. He first asked Lisko for his opinion to see if he was interested in listening to his explanation.

After receiving a positive answer, he cheered up and introduced his ranch with a proud look on his face. As someone who has lived and worked on ranches for several generations, Ace is very proud of his work.

“Our ranch was established on this land by ranch founder Dan Wagner. In 1923, his son Tom Wagner established the property ownership of the ranch. For more than 100 years, the Wagner family has owned and operated this ranch.

, has made outstanding achievements in breeding Hereford cattle, purebred American Quarter Horses and thoroughbred racehorses, and has become a model in the history of world ranching."

"There are 120 cowboys and related staff in our ranch. Many of them have been working on the ranch for several generations. For example, my grandfather worked as a cowboy on this ranch, followed by my father, and then me.

I hope my son will continue to be loyal to the ranch as well."

Hearing this, Lisko really admired the Wagner Ranch. These cowboys were loyal supporters of their ranch. These cowboys who could mount a horse, hold a gun, and dismount to work were like servants in an ancient Chinese aristocratic mansion.

Have children at home.

These people may not be loyal to the country, the government, or the president, but they can sacrifice their lives without hesitation for the ranch where they grew up.

This team of 120 people alone can ensure that any enemy who dares to offend the majesty of the Wagner family will not dare to easily reach out.

Lisko also wanted to make his family's ranch such that no matter how stupid his descendants are, these loyal people will always guard the ranch and become the family's last support.

“Our ranch encompasses 510,000 acres, two major complexes, 30,000 acres (approximately 120 square kilometers) of farmland, thousands of cattle, hundreds of quarter horses, 1,200 oil wells and tens of thousands of acres of undeveloped land.

."

While Ace was still introducing, Lisko's attention had been completely attracted by this explanation. Oh my god, 510,000 acres. Compared with this pasture, the several hundred acres of his own land seemed like a pitiful piece of ants.

Moreover, the assets of the ranch also make Lisko envious. There are 1,200 oil wells here, which are gold mines spewing black gold.

Have you ever seen how rich the Saudi Arabian royal family is? Moreover, the number of cattle on the pasture is only a small part. The output of oil wells and annual farming can make the Wagner family's mouth water with oil.

In comparison, the gains from beef cattle are negligible.

Lisko's ranch works hard, and the annual income is not as much as the few oil wells here.

It's really annoying to compare people to each other.

However, these explanations also aroused the pride in the hearts of Lisko and David next to him, and the gloomy mood of the previous business crisis was swept away.

This is the goal of their efforts. If one day they can develop the ranch like this, it would be such a grand and proud thing.

In fact, the market value of the ranch is not high, and any one of Lisko's investments can be easily sold instantly.

This feeling is just like you. Saying that you have one hundred thousand dollars may not be surprising, but if you put all one hundred thousand dollars together, it will make people feel excited.

And men all have a strong passion for conquering a piece of land.

"The eldest son of the previous rancher who is the heir to our ranch, I believe Mr. Lisko is no stranger to this."

The Wagner family also adheres to the primogeniture system, but all descendants have the right to dividends. Under the operation of the third generation of the Wagner family, the ranch is now a foundation, which controls the ownership of the place. Every Wagner descendant can benefit from the fund.

Collect your own fees.

This greatly avoids the issue of inheritance tax. Each generation votes to elect the ranch manager, who is also the owner of the foundation.

Every year, a portion of the proceeds will be used for charity to ensure the foundation's qualifications and enhance its social image.

Of course, such an old family cannot rely solely on ranching. Over the years, the Wagner family has more or less invested in some assets to ensure that their wealth will not depreciate. Currently, many public companies in Texas have

their family's shares.

These information were obtained by Lisko from his senior brother, and he was not unprepared.

The car drove past a huge sign that read "Wagner Ranch, Private Property."

Seeing that Lisko was interested in some of his old-looking signs, Ace immediately began to explain.

"The signboard of our ranch was made by our first generation, Mr. Wagner, so it has not been changed for so many years, also to commemorate our ancestors."

After saying this, Lisko understood. He was wondering why the signboard of such a large ranch looked a bit shabby.
