Super Ranch: Brothers come to Africa to farm

Chapter 13 Great Wildebeest Migration

This also made him cherish this new job very much, so when Wang Lu woke up the next morning, Parker had already appeared outside the wooden house.

There was no nonsense after Parker and Wang Lu met.

"Boss, I think it's time for us to dig a well. Although the Dome River nourishes the entire pasture, it can be polluted by wild animals anytime and anywhere. God knows when an unlucky guy will drown in the source, especially... The dry season is coming soon and this problem will be even more severe."

As an experienced wilderness guide, Parker pointedly pointed out the most serious problem facing the ranch now, which is water.

Wang Lu has also considered this issue. After all, every time he takes water from the Dome River, except for the first two days, he has to boil it before using it even for washing. Otherwise, the invisible and intangible bacteria will be very serious. It can easily cause damage to the body.

There is no running water locally. After all, the town of Bahria is just a town. Unlike big cities like Arusha and Dar es Salaam, they have complete infrastructure.

Directly drilling a well and drawing groundwater can perfectly solve this problem.

But drilling a well is another expense. As far as Wang Lu knows, the amount of money required to drill a well locally and even in Africa is far higher than that in China.

Parker's statement also confirmed Wang Lu's thoughts.

"The underground water source of our ranch is very abundant. If everything goes well, it will only cost about [-] US dollars to dig a usable well. In some barren and arid areas I have visited, it would cost at least [-] US dollars to dig a well to produce water. Fifty thousand dollars or more!”

The local area has two rainy seasons a year, which also means that the average annual precipitation is not low and the groundwater reserves are abundant. Otherwise, the Dome River would not have been born.

Therefore, it is not difficult to build a well. Wang Lu immediately agreed to Parker's suggestion, but then Wang Lu couldn't help but sigh.

"There's not enough money to spend!"

Wang Lu now regrets his decision to spend tens of thousands of dollars to purchase a Ford Raptor. This expenditure alone consumed less than half of the funds.

And there are so many places where I need to spend money!

Everything in the living area needs to be rebuilt. There are only two wooden houses that are too simple. We are here to enjoy being a rancher, not to suffer.

In Wang Lu's plan, he wants to build his own private villa at the foot of the Woulu Mountains, and all electricity and gas must be connected...
Okay, I can’t think about it anymore, the budget is really not enough!
Just when Wang Lu was still worried, Sanders appeared in his Grand Cherokee. From a distance, he saw the heroic figure of the little old man holding the steering wheel with one hand.

"Boss, hurry up and set off! If you miss today, wait another year. Don't miss it if you pass by!"

Listening to Sanders' increasingly erroneous Chinese vocabulary, Wang Lu also looked puzzled. Old Sanders had never been so eager.

Seeing that Wang Lu was still indifferent, Sanders patted the steering wheel and said:
"Wildebeest, it's wildebeest! The endless wildebeest population is crossing the border with many herbivores. They are going to move from the Ngorongoro Conservation Area to the Masai Mara Nature Reserve in neighboring countries through the Serengeti savannah. area, they are passing through your pasture!”

Upon hearing this, Wang Lu was stunned for a moment, then immediately put down everything he was doing and greeted Parker:
"drive!"

If Wang Lu misses this epic migration of millions of species that attracts worldwide attention, he will regret it for the whole year, not to mention that it is all happening on his own territory.

Parker reacted quickly and jumped directly into the driver's seat of the Raptor, while Wang Lu hugged Xiao Wangcai, who came running after hearing the noise, and got into the passenger seat.

Soon the two vehicles drove directly along the Woulu Mountains and reached the grassland area in the north of the mountain.

On the way, Wang Lu even saw several helicopters whizzing past in the sky, with cameras peeking out from the belly of the cabin.

"At this time of year, there will be a small number of permitted film crews using helicopters to capture the spectacular migration of species, but drones are prohibited from flying over national parks."

Parker, who was driving, then explained, and Wang Lu, who was holding Xiao Wangcai, nodded.

As the car drove, Wang Lu gradually felt that the ground was shaking. If he knew that the area was not in an earthquake zone and there were very few earthquake records, Wang Lu would have doubted whether it was an earthquake.

But soon Wang Lu found the source of the vibration. On the grassland in the distance, countless migrating teams of wildebeests, zebras, antelopes and other herbivorous animals occupied Wang Lu's entire field of vision.

Millions of animals ran and stampeded together, causing the ground to vibrate.

At first, these species were still walking slowly on the ground, constantly gnawing at the grass that was not completely dry on the pasture under Wang Lu's name.

They were moving while eating. Although the ranch under Wang Lu's name was vast, it was still a little stretched compared to such a large migratory group.

Wildebeest is the main migratory species. According to official data, about 150 million wildebeests participate in migration. Although these wildebeests have horses in their names, the horns on their heads actually make them look more like cattle. , in fact they are also called wildebeests.

Zebras are quite easy to identify. They are one step ahead of the wildebeests and are considered the vanguard of the migration. There are also the antelopes at the end of the migration team. They have deer bodies and long, curved horns.

And although the Dome River has water sources, it is definitely not enough for the millions of wildebeests, zebras, and antelopes to drink. Therefore, large groups of these species will only stop at the ranch for a short period of time to replenish their supplies before embarking on their migration journey again.

Behind these thousands of migratory species are a large group of hunters.That was a group of lions on the grassland, as well as carnivores such as jackals and cheetahs, hunting thousands of times more prey than they did. Only when these herbivores left their territory could they briefly escape.

At this time of year, there is a carnival of predators on the migration route.

The beginning of the dry season every year also means the arrival of the breeding season. There are many pregnant wildebeests and antelopes giving birth to cubs on their migration journey.

The targets of these predators are these newly born or old and frail individuals.

Far away, Wang Lu saw a wildebeest cub lagging a few steps behind. The hunting lion caught up and bit it mercilessly. He could only muffle his moans, which made Wang Lu a little unbearable.

"Boss, this is the most primitive grassland, and no one can control it!"

Parker whispered something, and Wang Lu also knew this, and just watched silently as the wildebeest cub was surrounded and bitten to pieces by the surrounding lions.

When the lions have almost finished eating, the cunning hyenas will pounce on some leftovers to eat cold food, and the vultures circling in the sky will come down to take a share of the soup.

Following the movements of the vulture, Wang Lu saw helicopters in the sky again, as well as several... big balloons?

"what is that?"

Wang Lu asked subconsciously, and Parker on the side quickly explained to his boss.

"This is a tourism project on the savannah. Visitors can take a hot air balloon ride in the sky to intuitively experience the spectacular wildebeest migration. This is the most profitable project in the Serengeti National Park every year!"

As expected, Wang Lu looked far away and could see people leaning out from time to time on those hot air balloons. This discovery was quite novel for him.

"Hot air balloon sightseeing? It's a good project."

As soon as Wang Lu finished speaking, Old Sanders on the other side shouted angrily:

"These damn vampires, I'm going to make them pay! Boss, leave this matter to me. I will definitely get a reasonable compensation from these guys for you!"

Wang Lu was confused when he heard this. Why did Sanders, the little old man, suddenly lose his temper?

"Boss, these hot air balloon tours are a commercial business, and they have intruded into your territory wantonly and are making profits. Strictly speaking, this is against the rules!"

After being reminded by Sanders, Wang Lu finally came to his senses. Isn't this the same as taking advantage of himself? Without Sanders' reminder, Wang Lu would never have thought of this.

Sanders immediately showed his professionalism, took out his mobile phone and called his assistant:
"Send a lawyer's letter to those damn guys in Serengeti National Park. They have violated the interests of my dear boss. I will make them pay the price!"

After making the call, Sanders was still a little aggrieved:
"These guys must be deliberately pretending not to know that this ranch already has an owner, trying to take advantage of it. I recently learned a few new Chinese words. Which two damn words are they from?"

Seeing the pained look on the little old man's face, Wang Lu couldn't help but say:

"Free prostitution?"

"Yes, yes! That's right, it's free prostitution. These damn guys are doing it for free!"

Sanders' face flushed with excitement. Seeing Parker's confused face, he immediately generously offered to teach him a few Chinese words.

Seeing an old white man seriously teaching another white man the Erbidao Chinese he had learned on his own, Wang Lu’s evaluation of this absurd situation was that one dared to teach and the other dared to learn!
"Parker, you just need to know that watching a striptease without paying is called free prostitution!"

However, Sanders' teaching effect was quite good. After Parker understood the meaning of free prostitution, he immediately showed great indignation.

In his opinion, the strippers in the town of Baria are all good, hard-working people. How could anyone do such a thing as not paying for a striptease?Is there any royal law?
Looking at this scene, Wang Lu shook his head and laughed, but then Parker's words made him blacklist on the spot!

"Boss, have you ever been a stripper before? How dare those guys in Serengeti National Park prostitute you for free?"

Seeing the serious look on Peter Parker's face, Wang Lu immediately broke through his defense.

I'll give you two nests!
"Parker, don't even think about going to the bar in town for the next week!"

Wang Lu said fiercely, don't think you don't know, this guy is the most generous patron of the strippers in the bar.

Even Sanders beside him was holding back his face and turned red. He quickly said that he would personally meet with the legal director of the Serengeti National Park Management Office to fight for the boss's rights, and drove away in his car.

Parker, who was left in the same place, still didn't understand what went wrong and why the boss suddenly went berserk!
