88: Liuzi Starts by Inheriting a Bankrupt Ranch in Australia.

[80S+Australian ranch+overseas students+raising cattle to get rich+protecting herders to survive+hard-core farming+data slapped in the face] In 1988, Gu Chuan, an international student majoring in animal husbandry at the Agricultural University, had his scholarship suddenly canceled and his visa only had 90 days left. In order to avoid being deported, he could only enter the most remote Red River Cattle Station in Queensland and work as a temporary herder that no one looked after. The old butler, Hank, looked disdainful: "Chinese students can only write papers, and they can't tell the difference between a cow in heat and a cow in diarrhea!" Gu Chuan did not argue. During the dry season, when there was water shortage, he repaired water pumps, dug water pits, and calculated the amount of water the cattle drank; wild boar dug up water lines, and he tracked the pigs in 40-degree temperatures; saltwater crocodiles occupied the drinking water ponds, but he did not show weakness and cooperated with the forest rangers to set traps and relocate the crocodiles, saving hundreds of dying beef cattle. When Hank secretly sold calves, forged ear tags, and tried to pin the loss on Gu Chuan, Gu Chuan brought out stacks of handwritten records. "Twenty-three cows missing?" "Then please explain, why are these twenty-three cows wearing the ear tags of the Red River Cattle Station in the pasture next door?" From a Chinese student whose visa is about to expire, to a ranch partner, beef cattle breeding owner, and the core of the regional ranch alliance. Gu Chuan never relied on the system. But an ear tag book, a pair of eyes that can see animals, and a heart that refuses to admit defeat.
