The car drove in the ranch for a long time before reaching the house. From the outside, the house was not very eye-catching among the grass and trees. The stone walls on the shade were covered with green moss. When I went in, I looked different. It was completely modern and decorated and furniture. The snow-white house was very clean and bright, and it didn't look like the same house as the walls outside.

Pointing to the big screen TV, hi-fi, DVD, video recorder, etc. in the living room, Madison said: "When I was a child, I only had one set of electrical appliances at home. That radio was thrown away decades ago when the house was renovated several years ago.

This house has a history of more than 90 years and was built when my grandfather ran the ranch. There are seven bedrooms with bathrooms - at that time, my grandfather wanted to build a Madison family here. However, when I came to me, I really couldn't find a successor to the ranch. The new generation of the Madison family was not interested in running the ranch. There was a stone house near the forest spring waterfall three miles away. The decoration inside looked older than here. There were five houses with bathrooms.

If you want to buy a ranch, my personal belongings have been packed. You can leave them for use here, and you can also give them to the welfare club if you don’t use it."

Attorney Andrew: "I want to look at the accounts of ranch operations before my clients determine their purchase intention."

"No problem, I'll get it now."

Sitting down in the living room, Madison showed Zhang Cheng and his lawyer a calculation. Last year, the income and expenses of the ranch were two yuan, selling cattle and selling wine. The annual sales of whiskey of hundreds of thousands of dollars can be ignored in the face of more than three million dollars of cattle sales. No wonder Madison used wine as a match.

The biggest expenditure is the wages of workers. The cowboys work for a long time and the wages of Americans are also high. A cowboy has an annual salary of more than 20,000 US dollars. Madison Ranch employs 37 workers, which is a small amount of US$1 million a year.

The second big guy is the epidemic prevention and insurance costs of cows (not only cows, but also ranches). The expenditure in this area also costs hundreds of thousands of US dollars a year - but it also has benefits. If the cows are killed in natural disasters and plagues, the insurance company will lose money.

The other pieces of money are also worth more than 100,000 US dollars. For example, the machine is so broken that it cannot be repaired, and it is not surprising that it has problems with the old machine.

However, the most expense above is the repayment of principal and interest of the bank. According to Madison, this was the debt that the ranch had lost due to its expansion of operations. Fifteen years ago, Madison was ambitious to expand the ranch, so he took the opportunity to buy land and cattle under the persuasion of the broker. The ranch had doubled but was almost dragged down by bank loans.

Fortunately, the ranch income is still acceptable. In recent years, the land prices in the United States have been rising. The loan has been repaid for new loans and old loans and has not been dragged to death. However, a large amount of the income has been given to the bank to repay interest.

Speaking of this, Madison said: "I had known that I would have rented a ranch to expand my business instead of buying a ranch. At that time, I saw the adjacent ranch for sale, and I couldn't help but buy it, but the land price rose. Although I have paid a lot of interest over the years, I have not paid any compensation. However, if you want to buy this ranch with a loan, you must carefully calculate the pressure on bank repayment, and I almost suffered a loss."

Zhang Cheng nodded: "Don't worry about this, I bought it in full, and there is zero pressure."

Madison said: "That's really good."

Madison also called his own lawyer. While the two lawyers were preparing for the contract, one of Madison's grandson and a granddaughter, two children about ten years old ran downstairs to find their grandfather to play with.

Two blond and blue-eyed little foreigners saw Zhang Cheng, and the little girl asked, "Are you Chinese?"

Zhang Cheng: "Yes."

The little girl clapped her hands: "That's great. Do you know Chinese Kung Fu?"

Zhang Cheng nodded: "Yes."

Madison's grandson little boy asked, "Is it a boxing champion powerful, or is it a Chinese kung fu powerful?"

Zhang Chengyi thought to answer: "If you use the rules of boxing, you will naturally be a boxing champion. If there are no rules, Chinese Kung Fu is powerful. The purpose of Chinese Kung Fu was first invented to kill enemies more effectively, and it is different from competitive sports that requires referees."

Little girl: "Then can you teach me Chinese Kung Fu? So I can bully those boys in school."

Madison Old: “…”

Zhang Cheng explained to the little girl untiringly: "Chinese Kung Fu can be divided into three types. The first type is fancy fist embroidery, which belongs to the nature of performance and fitness. However, this fancy fist embroidery is very fast. If you are willing to learn it, you can learn it in about three to five months. You can learn it in martial arts schools in various places.

The second type of Chinese Kung Fu is similar to American boxing or French kicking. It is mainly used to train muscle strength as the auxiliary technique. We Chinese call it hard kung fu or external boxing. Those masters who encounter external boxing will immediately appear, but they have been learning external boxing for relatively long. In addition to examining the disciple's mind and nature, they have to practice for three or five years.

The third type of Chinese Kung Fu is called internal martial arts, which is also the strongest boxing in Chinese Kung Fu. Practicing internal martial arts may not make much progress in terms of strength for three, five, and ten years. However, once you enter the school, you will have thirty years of practice for thirty years and fifty years of practice for 50 years, boxing will not decline due to your aging. Many masters of internal martial arts become famous and are already over fifty years old."

The little girl asked, "I understand both the fiction and the external boxing you mentioned, but what does the internal boxing look like?"

Zhang Cheng: "Simply put, it is a highly efficient killing punch. Internal boxing relies on the strength of the whole body to concentrate on a little explosion. It is not just the strength of muscles, but also the strength of internal organs and bones in the whole body, which can easily break a human sternum or skull. There is no wooden board here, so I can demonstrate it to you."

The little girl went out and found a wooden board. Zhang Cheng took a look at it, and a piece of ordinary pine board that was one inch thick and one foot long. Then he placed the board in front of the table and said, "We know that it is still easy to destroy such pine boards, whether it is punching or kicking. But what if it is just a selective destruction..."

As he said that, Zhang Cheng slapped his palm on the wooden board and quickly stopped.

When everyone looked at the pine board again, they saw a half-inch-deep handprint printed on the pine board. "Wow" the little girl couldn't help but put her hand into the handprint and gestured for a while. Old Madison was also very eye-opening. It was much more difficult to print a handprint than to break two pieces. Like the free-wheeling boxing on TV, it was obviously impossible to compare.

"This is Mingjin, which is used to crush human bones." Zhang Cheng explained: "Find a pillow, don't need to be too big."

The little girl quickly found a pillow. Zhang Cheng turned the wooden board over, covered the board with the pillow, and then slapped it on the pillow. He took the pillow away, and another palm print appeared on the board, but it was much lighter than the first one.

Zhang Cheng said: "This is penetrating force, which is used to hit the enemy's internal organs."

The little girl asked, "How did this be done."

Zhang Cheng: "If you say it deeply, you won't understand it. Simply put, it is to concentrate the direction of the power. You see, light scattering is not harmful, but if it is concentrated and turned into a laser beam, it will be very powerful."

The little girl asked excitedly: "Can I learn internal martial arts?"

Zhang Cheng poured cold water on him: "Of course, but I have no intention of accepting disciples for the time being. If an internal martial arts attacks, it will kill people's lives and hurt people's hearts. Accepting disciples has always been very strict, and the inspection period will take several years.

I think modern people should not have time to spend more than ten years or even longer to learn a Chinese Kung Fu, which is not a sports competition. If you are really interested in Chinese Kung Fu, it is better to start learning from those martial arts schools. If you learn it well, you will be fine to become a Hollywood action star."

Madison nodded and said to his granddaughter: "It's good to do this. You can go to the martial arts school to study for a while before seeing if you are interested."

Both adults said this, and the little girl had to say, "Okay, fortunately there are many martial arts schools in Los Angeles. Can you recommend one?"

Zhang Cheng thought about it and had the answer: "Wing Chun Fist, this boxing technique was invented by a woman, and melee short-defying is more suitable for women."

In fact, Tai Chi is also suitable for women or both young and old without distinction. However, for foreigners who don’t even understand the Tao Te Ching, it is really difficult to understand the exquisiteness of Taoist Tai Chi.
