Chapter 8

"Humming a song, Wei Da returned home with a full load. These past few days, he had been fully focused on the Hansen Ranch, and it was during this time that he completed his task excellently. When the lawyer carefully examined the contract, Wei Da signed his name."

"Wei Da became the consultant for the Hansen Ranch, with an annual salary of $150,000, signing a two-year contract. Wei Da's professional demeanor made Hansen feel that this expenditure was absolutely worth it. As Wei Da continuously adjusted the feed composition, his expenses kept decreasing, and Hansen now had a lot of confidence. Although the drought was still ongoing, he believed he could definitely ensure the development of the ranch, as long as the cattle and sheep were sold, he would make a substantial profit."

"This was another substantial sum of money, and now Wei Da could afford to trade in his car for a new one. Although the Mercedes-Benz was good, the one he had was a bit outdated, especially without air conditioning in such hot weather, which Wei Da found hard to tolerate. Additionally, the house he was renting was not very good, so with over ten thousand dollars in hand, he certainly wouldn't neglect himself."

"Feeling very good, Wei Da first chose to move to a new house. Although he couldn't afford a better house right now, it didn't matter; he could rent one. In Dallas, there were many Asian residents, and under the recommendation of a specialized real estate agent, Wei Da chose a high-end neighborhood with good security. In the U.S., where guns are widespread, some slums have very chaotic security."

"This was a standalone duplex, and although there were many apartments in the U.S., Wei Da didn't need to deprive himself. He liked spacious spaces and didn't like feeling cramped. The house, including the attic, was nearly 300 square meters, and it also had a garage and a lawn. Wei Da felt that his current life had not only reached a comfortable level but had even surpassed it. Although the house was only rented, Wei Da was very satisfied."

"With the house settled, Wei Da also planned to get a new car. Considering that he needed to travel to ranches and farms frequently, and often had to drive on dirt roads, the car needed a high ground clearance and good power. This naturally led him to consider SUVs or off-road vehicles. If the car had a low ground clearance, it might get scratched within a few days."

"The Hummer was a very manly choice, and at 1.8 meters tall, Wei Da felt it would be a good fit. The price of a Hummer was around $50,000, but Wei Da didn't think he needed to choose one, not because of fuel consumption, but because it would be too showy."

"At the dealership, Wei Da's thoughts changed a bit. Although he often just needed a car for commuting, it didn't mean he didn't need to consider his future development. Wei Da was not content with just being a consultant for various ranches; he felt he needed to make his life more exciting to live up to the extraordinary legacy he had received."

"A pickup truck was also a good choice, as it could serve as both a family car and a cargo vehicle for travel. It also had strong power and better cargo and off-road capabilities than a sedan. Wei Da decided to go with a pickup truck, as it would be very convenient for him."

"Wei Da chose the Dodge Ram. Thinking about the stylish ram head logo, Wei Da felt it was a great choice. The Dodge Ram is one of the earliest pickup trucks, with a muscular front design and powerful body lines. With its excellent configuration, it could fully meet Wei Da's needs, and the price was around $50,000, which was a perfect choice for him."

"Wei Da also spent some extra money, as a bare-bones car wasn't a good choice. He had no reason to deprive himself. Although he wasn't extremely wealthy, Wei Da knew that money was earned, and spending some now would help him earn more in the future."

"The new car would take two more days to arrive, but Wei Da didn't mind. He had plenty of time, and he didn't need to go to school much. As a master's student, the education system in the U.S. was different from China's. Wei Da didn't need to report every day; he just needed to wait for his degree."

"Wei Da also had some plans. Although he was gradually opening up some opportunities here, he knew his progress was still slow. While contentment is a good thing, Wei Da knew that if he was satisfied with a small success, it would be a waste. Although he had some backup plans, he couldn't guarantee that other ranch owners wouldn't study his feed improvements in detail."

"Wei Da was never naive, especially in the U.S., where many people believe in science and research. He knew that when his feed showed significant results, some people would definitely study it, even if they couldn't fully understand it, it would still affect him to some extent. As for patents, Wei Da had considered them, but applying for one was one thing, and whether it could stop ambitious people was another."

"Given this outstanding legacy, Wei Da had every reason to pursue greater achievements. Although his current life was already good, he knew he could do better. Ambition can sometimes bring greater motivation, and Wei Da was like this; he knew he could do better."

"Wei Da wanted more; he wanted to use this outstanding legacy to live a comfortable life. He didn't necessarily want to become a top tycoon, as that wasn't necessarily the life he enjoyed the most. Wei Da felt he could consider some things, like doing what he liked when he wasn't short of money. In the past, Wei Da didn't have the conditions; he had to study hard and strive to find a good job."

"But now, Wei Da had fewer worries. He had enough confidence to earn some money. However, he needed to seize opportunities and accumulate capital faster to truly achieve a breakthrough. Wei Da had many things he wanted to do, and now he might have the chance to realize those things that were once just dreams."

"Feeling very good, Wei Da was also making the most of his time, constantly expanding his network. The ranch owners in Abilene seemed to be people he needed to connect with, but his vision wasn't limited to here. Although Abilene had traditional ranches, which would be a good opportunity for Wei Da, he needed a bigger platform, such as influential people."

"Wei Da now wanted a green card, which meant immigrating to the U.S. It wasn't that China was bad, but Wei Da wanted to fully utilize his abilities, and without U.S. citizenship, he would face significant limitations."

"Studying and immigrating seemed like a good choice, as Wei Da was a master's student. However, this application was difficult to approve, and if he really applied for it, the chances of getting a green card were not high. As for investment immigration, it required at least a million dollars, and although Americans liked rich people, Wei Da wasn't truly wealthy."

"So now, Wei Da saw the opportunity for skilled immigration, which was a good chance for him. Americans liked 'experts' with special skills, and Wei Da had once read a report about a paper-cutting expert from China who received a green card. So, it didn't necessarily require extraordinary skills; as long as he had good technical abilities, he had a good chance of getting a green card."

"After consulting a professional lawyer, Wei Da felt more confident. As his influence gradually expanded and he connected with higher-level people in Abilene, some people found him, which presented an opportunity."
