Texas, the southernmost part of America, Tang Zhengqing didn't know much about this state, only the three teams he knew when he was watching the NBA, the Rockets, Spurs, and Mavericks. Now the Mavericks have also been renamed the Mavericks.

Texas is the second largest state in the United States, second only to California, but it is different from California. It is Red Neck's base camp, with serious discrimination and too tough folk customs.

When Tang Zhengqing came here, he actually wanted to go to a gun shop most. In California, although he couldn't stop guns, he could only carry weapons such as pistols, and he had to separate guns and bullets. Regarding this clause, Tang Zhengqing really wanted to curse her. If you really met a bad person, when you loaded the bullets, you would probably have been killed long ago.

Texas is better, it is worthy of being the cowboy land back then. Not to mention the pistol revolver, which are children's toys, they can legally own any civilian M16, AK47, and M4.

Gatlin and Browning machine guns can also be bought. Tang Zhengqing even heard that he could even buy retired tanks and other heavy weapons in Texas.

"This is the paradise for men!" Tang Zhengqing felt a breath of wilderness as soon as he got off the plane.

"Jubert, we'll be in Fox County right away." Fox County is home to Lingken Farm.

In fact, Lingken Farm is very large, with an area of ​​520,000 acres and more than 2,000 square kilometers, spanning six counties in Texas.

Lingken Farm includes cattle and horse breeding operation areas, planting areas, hunting areas, oil extraction areas, leisure lakes, and a large number of wild animals. It also has a very rich untapped oil and natural gas resources. These resources are all valued by Tang Zhengqing.

"Brother, is this Texas? Why is it very hot!" Li Zhenghai got off the plane and felt the heat of Texas.

Unlike the Northeast and Montana, Texas Flying Fork is warm, but the beaches here are not as good as Florida.

A farm in Zhou Gucheng is called Lingken Farm. It is a large area and spent 800 million US dollars back then. Of course, Tang Zhengqing did not know where Zhou Gucheng got so much money. Now it is all cheaper. Moreover, the Zhou Gu layer was obtained by Tang Zhengqing less than a month after the purchase.

Lingken Farm was named after the Lingken family, but the person who is in charge now is the Lingken family. This farm also has a shareholder and a wealthy man who introduced and invested in oil mining.

Now that there have been several consecutive years of drought, the farm's income is not good, and oil extraction has also encountered problems. Ling Ken has had a disagreement with the shareholder of the oil company. Ling Ken was angry and planned to sell this farm that had been passed down for nearly two hundred years.

The red house, a two-story building, is standing at the door of a man who looks like he is seventy years old.

"Hello, old man!" Tang Zhengqing felt a little embarrassed to see Jeff Ling Ken standing at the door waiting for him at such an old age.

"Hello, Mr. Zhou, I just want to see if you can be worthy of my entrusting. You must know that Lingken Farm was passed down from generation to generation. I don't want to see it lonely in my lifetime." The old man said with a dim expression.

"Hello, Mr. Jeff Lingken, my name is Tang Zhengqing. You can call me Tang. Mr. Zhou is too busy to do it, so I entrust me to take charge of the matter here." Tang Zhengqing did not tell the real thing, but he was afraid that Jeff Lingken could not bear it. Tang Zhengqing could feel that Jeff Lingken's health was not very good and had many problems.

"Hello, Tang, come in and sit down." Jeff Lingken invited Tang Zhengqing into the house.

Tang Zhengqing followed Jeff Ling Ken to the living room, standing in the living room, looking at the rough decorative style and the heavy traces of time, Tang Zhengqing knew that this house had a long history.

"This house was built by my grandfather back then. I was not born at that time. I am now seventy-one years old." The old man said, touching the chair in his hand and lowering his head.

Tang Zhengqing just stood at the door and looked at the ivy crawlers all over the yard. Looking at the mottled gate, he felt very touched. Now Tang Zhengqing felt that Jeff Lingken was a nostalgic old man.

"Let's go out for a walk, and this place will belong to you from now on. All the things here except my personal belongings will be kept. If you like it, keep it. If you don't like it, donate it to others." After Jeff Ling Ken said that, he walked out tremblingly.

Tang Zhengqing accompanied Lao Lingken and the two walked out together. Lao Lingken took the crutch and walked slowly, chatting with Tang Zhengqing while walking.

"The original owner of Lingken Farm was Dan Lingken. He was my ancestor. He was not from Texas, but was born in Tennessee. He moved here with his family at the age of fifteen. One hundred and seventy years ago, Texas was deserted and had nothing. Except for the Indians, many of the land here has not been developed. My ancestors seized this opportunity and built Lingken Farm more than 160 years ago. This year, exactly 165 years have passed. Our Lingken family owned this place for so long, but now the farm is lost in my hands. I am the sinner of the Lingken family." Old Lingken said slowly, with his words full of self-blame.

"It's all my fault. I had to develop oil, but it didn't take much of the oil to be mined, but the farm's shares were occupied by oil companies. If they weren't for their forced force, I wouldn't have sold the farm to you." Old Lingken suddenly stood up and looked at the sunset that was about to set in the distance. In his heart, he would also disappear like this sunset, but Lingken Farm cannot be like itself. It must be like the sun, and even if it sets, it will make a comeback.

"Mr. Ling Ken, don't blame yourself. No one thought about the things that happened back then. No one could have thought about what we are like now. Don't blame yourself too much."

"Don, don't comfort me. My grandson is about the same age as you. Now I've sold the farm and moved to Dallas to live. I will never come back here."

"Let's have a walk!" Lao Lingken and Tang Zhengqing continued to move forward in the sunset.

"Lingken Farm is one of the best individual farms in the entire American country. With an area of ​​520,000 acres, only a few farms are larger than it. The farms include cattle and horse breeding operation areas, planting areas, hunting areas, oil mining areas, and leisure lakes. There are also a large number of wild animals here, which is not worse than the ranch in Montana." When it comes to his own farm, Old Lingken looked proud, and all the honors belong to his family.

"Lingken Farm is not a single farm, it is a comprehensive farm and ranch combination, with a planting area of ​​about 100,000 acres, and the cattle and horse breeding area is about 100,000 acres. The remaining 300,000 acres are hunting areas, safaris, lakes, rivers and oil extraction areas. To be precise, there are oil extraction machines everywhere except for farms and pastures." When it comes to oil extraction, Lao Lingken looked angry. If it weren't for it, it wouldn't have caused the current situation.

"The horses raised in the farm have always been an important property of Lingken Farm. Our Lingken Farm's contribution to the Quart horse industry in the United States has long been recognized. In the northeast of the farm, there is a cattle and horse breeding area of ​​the farm. There are top-level horse breeding facilities, which can carry out frozen sperm breeding, embryo transfer, etc.." Lao Lingken talked about his farm's various spirits, and could not tell that he was an old man in his seventies, with a loud voice and a rosy complexion. If it weren't for this, Tang Zhengqing would have thought he was a return.

"Our Lingken Farm cultivates horses mainly for ranch work, and also specializes in cultivating high-quality stallions for horse racing. Currently, the horses of Lingken Farm have performed particularly well in various equestrian competitions including the Kentucky Horse Racing Festival, the Melbourne Horse Racing Festival, the Liverpool Horse Racing Festival and the Siena Horse Racing Festival. Two of them have won the championship. There are about 500 horses on the farm now." If it weren't for Old Lingken, Tang Zhengqing wouldn't have known that Lingken Farm has such a glorious history.

Tang Zhengqing, who came to the United States, realized that horse racing is very popular in the United States, but its reputation is not obvious. He has never heard of it in China, nor has he watched the broadcast. However, in the United States, horse racing is a more popular event than basketball, ice hockey, and baseball, second only to football.

"We have seven or eight private lakes and rivers in our Lingken Farm. These are all property of the farm. After you take over, you will belong to you. The lakes on the farm are large in size and deep in water. They are excellent fishing, boating and watering places. There is a stop for the FLW World Fishing Competition.

Fishing Competition? This is the first time Tang Zhengqing heard about this event? Although Tang Zhengqing is not clear about this event, he dares to be famous in the world, which is definitely a major event in Tang Zhengqing's opinion.

"The sea bass here tastes delicious and very delicious. I once hired a Chinese private chef to work here for three years. I have studied with him, but I haven't learned it, haha!" Lao Lingken said as he laughed.

Not long after leaving, Tang Zhengqing saw a group of kowtowers, "This is one of the oil mining wells, there are more than 30 mining wells in this area." Seeing Tang Zhengqing staring at the kowtowers, Lao Lingken said sadly.

"A hundred years ago, when my ancestors were drilling wells on the farm, they did not expect to produce oil. At that time, my ancestors were very disgusted with this situation, just like me now, because as an excellent farmer, my ancestors knew the importance of water to livestock. However, in the 1920s, with the large-scale development of the automobile industry, my ancestors' attitude towards oil had a fundamental change. They began to drill oil wells at Lingken Farm, but there were only a few oil wells, because our family didn't have much money at that time."

"There are nearly 2,000 oil wells in Lingken Farm, including more than 1,200 oil wells in production and operation. Among them, 150 of them belong to our family and are operated by Lingken Real Estate. The remaining more than 1,000 oil wells are operated by 40 independent operators. However, these companies are basically small local oil developers in Texas." Speaking of this, Lao Lingken regretted that he had not been greedy for money. He would not have introduced a large amount of funds, nor would he have invested in his own farm, which led to the control of the farm being controlled by these oil companies.

"Although there are many oil extraction wells here, and some oil wells drilled in the 1920s are still producing oil, but now there are less and less oil. In the past, two thousand oil wells could produce 50,000 barrels of oil a day, but now they cannot even reach 10,000 barrels. Moreover, after detection, the light crude oil in the farm has been exploited, and only some heavy crude oil can be mined while injecting water. Even so, the oil here will be completely exploited within four or five years." There is actually a reason for this problem. It is mainly because Lao Lingken and the oil company group have different opinions on farm management strategies in the past twenty years, which has led to the failure of modern drilling technology to be used on the farm. The depth of all oil wells on the farm is currently only six or seven hundred meters, while according to modern drilling technology, the drilling depth can reach more than four thousand meters.

"Although this is the case for oil resources at present, many geological exploration companies have told us that Lingken Farm has absolutely a large amount of oil and natural gas resources, but we do not have the ability and strength to develop." Since being cheated by these oil companies, Lao Lingken has avoided oil companies and is unwilling to discuss with them the issue of continuing to exploit oil. Even if the company that comes is Mobil or Chevron, Lao Lingken is unwilling to talk to them.

"Tang, I'll leave it to you from now on. I hope I won't let down the reputation of Lingken Farm." A car drove over from afar. Hearing Jeff Lingken's side, a young man jumped off.

"Mr. Tang, let's separate here. This car is my personal belongings. The things here are all my personal belongings. I will go to Dallas today. We will see you again in the future." Although Jeff Lingken is a traditional red neck, for the sake of the beauty, he is also very kind to Tang Zhengqing.

No matter where Tang Zhengqing's money came from, he was able to buy such a big farm and was not a big figure, let alone she was so young.

"Mr. Ling Ken, welcome you to come back to visit in the future. I will definitely welcome you warmly." Jeff Ling Ken didn't say anything, but just looked back at the farm and finally got in the car.

When Tang Zhengqing came back, he saw Li Zhenghai wandering around in surprise, even Zhubert.

"Tang, Lingken Farm is a farm that is ranked as a famous farm in America. It was taken down by you. It was really beyond my expectations." Although there are many farms in America and many large-scale farms, there are not many such farms as Lingken Farm, which has more than 500,000 acres.
