Valentine, which is a traditional livestock town.

The main animal is sheep.

Relying on the railway link with the eastern cities, it became a relatively wealthy town in the west, and also attracted many people to settle, including some immigrants.

And the suburbs outside the town are also full of western characteristics.

That’s farmland and farms, big and small.

The Federation also encouraged people to open up these inhospitable lands, just as the West developed decades ago.

Rainbow Sky, a beautiful name, provided you don’t see its desolate scene.

Because of poor management, coupled with the victory of the war between the Federation and the West, the originally rising food prices plummeted.

And the last winter, a rare snowfall in the past two decades.

All made the poor farmer Berol in the rainbow sky full of despair.

He was so bad that he could not afford the bank’s bonds, and his livestock were forcibly auctioned at extremely low prices.

But Rao is so, he still has a large loan unpaid, and if it is overdue, it means that his farm will no longer belong to him.

So he had to find the lenders, but the deteriorating farm left him with no hope.

He had no intention of tending the pasture, and the weeds in the ranch grew wildly.

The wooden house facilities and buildings were slightly dilapidated in the absence of maintenance.

More importantly, before he paid off the bank loan, the land and ranch only nominally belonged to him.

Even if he wanted to, it would be difficult to find a buyer.

Thinking of the debt collection methods of those vicious bond parties, he already thought about his miserable future fate.

Even to avoid some unspeakable harm to his family, he let his wife leave the ranch early.

And he waited every day.

Until Chen Xu and John came here.

“It’s also too desolate!”

Looking at the abandoned farmland, as well as the slightly dilapidated stables and houses, John couldn’t help but complain.

At a glance, he couldn’t see anything of value.

If anything, there was a horse in the stable.

This is probably the most expensive asset.

And the location of the whole farm is not very good, on the border between New Hanover and West Elizabeth.

It is adjacent to the Dakota River, and if you want to cross the river, you can only walk the Bard Cross Bridge, where you stand with a flat neck.

Although there is no problem with transportation, the point is that it is too remote, except for a small amount of farmland, which is wasteland.

Pedestrians can’t see a single one for half a day.

It can be said that absolutely no one comes here idle.

“So for us, it’s an advantage, isn’t it?” Chen Xu listened to John’s complaint and said with a smile.

“That’s true, too.” Hearing Chen Xu’s words, John also reacted.

Isn’t this their ideal stronghold?

You know, the business they do is not so light.

For others, it’s just bad, but for them it’s perfect.

Small yields can be processed through the cellar.

But if you want to produce a little more, there will be fugitive alcohol volatilization when distilling.

If it is in a densely populated place, it will definitely attract attention.

After all, they don’t have a legal license.

“But that stupid guy from Strauss would lend money to these people.” Looking at the dilapidated farmhouse and the weed-covered farmland, John shook his head.

“Because they have no other choice.” Chen Xu shrugged and said.

But anyone who has some ability, even if he knows, in fact, the bank is also a group of demons who eat people and do not spit out bones.

Nor will it look for so-called money lenders.

After all, you are really bankrupt, and the bank will not kill you.

But those lenders really do.

Tie the horse to a nearby stake.

“Later, John, I need your cooperation.” Chen Xu looked at John beside him.

“How to cooperate?” John asked.

“Hard and soft, you threaten, I appease.” Chen Xu said to John, randomly came to the house and knocked on the door.

After a few seconds, the gate was opened.

A middle-aged man wearing a shirt and a red tie with a tired look opened the door.

When he saw Chen Xu and John, he could obviously feel the fear on his face.

“(Polish) Excuse me, what are you doing in my house?” Although he had already guessed the origin of the other party in his heart, Berol still tried to fool through.

“Okay, Mr. Berol, I know you can speak the language of the Federation, now let’s get straight to the point.”

“You borrowed a sum of money from an Austrian, from Leopold Strauss.”

“It’s time for now, so what about the money?”

Chen Xu and John walked into the house, and then pretended to casually reveal the revolver on his waist.

The moment he saw the revolver, Robert could no longer hide his fear, and his voice trembled.

“Sorry… Me, I have nothing… This winter is terrible. Robert’s voice trembled, trying to explain why he had no money.

“Man, no one is having a good time this winter, but if you owe a debt, you should pay it back, and we don’t want to use some violent means.” John stepped forward and grabbed Robert by the collar.

“No… I’ll pay it back… I just… It just takes a little time. Robert’s expression was full of fear, and he kept pleading.

“Take it easy, John.” Chen Xu patted John’s arm and asked him to let Robert go.

“So Mr. Robert, tell me how long you need and where to get the money?” As far as I know, even the property rights of this farm are not entirely yours. ”

“Or shall we simply take everything from you, your food, anything of value in your household, and then you, penniless, watch the bank take away all your remaining possessions?” Chen Xu pointed to some furniture in the room that came from Warsaw.

“No… You can’t do that. Robert thought of the terrible future, and even fearfully unable to stand, leaning on the cupboard.

“But you always have to give us an explanation, you asked us to borrow money, and we borrowed it.”

“Then you have to pay back, and now you say you need to give some days of grace, of course.”

“We can be kind enough to extend your repayment date for a certain period of time, but you still need collateral to go to the bank to borrow, and now why should we believe that you can make enough money within the deadline and pay it back to us?”

“We are businessmen, not philanthropists, now Mr. Robert, please come up with your money-making plan, and then persuade us to grace your repayment date for a certain period of time.”

“Let us know you can earn money and give it back to us.”

The voice was gentle and smiling, but Chen Xu’s cruel words.

But like a bullet, it completely crushed Robert’s last fantasy.

Can he make money?

No…… He can’t.

Why else would he go to a lender.

Standing there, Robert, with a face full of despair, only felt that he had fallen into hell.

There was darkness in front of him, and he couldn’t even say the words of prayer.

Until Chen Xu’s next words dispelled the darkness in front of him and allowed him to see some hope for the future.
