"Mr. Clark Kent, are you really going to mortgage your farm?"
asked Citibank manager Hamlin.
He'd heard the story at the party about Clark Kent, the rich bastard from Bolivia who'd been ripped off by a peasant.
He spent a lot of money to buy a lot of land in the town of Lajitas. Now it seems that he is finally running out of money.
"Yes, these are Mr. Kent's investments in the farm. We now have hundreds of acres of high-quality pasture!"
Cade Eagle said, taking out a list:
"Mr. Kent also spent millions of dollars to dig a reservoir with a storage capacity of more than 2 million cubic meters on the farm, solving the farm's water supply problem. The high-quality vegetables and rice we grow will be directly supplied to Austin's high-end restaurants."
The list includes more than a dozen contracts signed between farms and restaurants.
Hamlin picked up the contract and checked it in disbelief, and found that it was all true. The satellite map also clearly showed that there was indeed a small reservoir on the farm.
This reservoir alone has caused the value of the farm to skyrocket. In water-scarce Texas, the abundant water in the reservoir can increase the farm's agricultural production and even sell water to other places.
In recent years, Texas has been in drought, with 64% of the state in drought, reaching an astonishing 98% in 2011. The average water storage in reservoirs across the state is only 65%.
There should be no shallow groundwater in that area. What a lucky guy.
"Although we still need to conduct an on-site inspection, if these are true, Citibank can provide a loan of 10 million US dollars."
Hamlin escorted the two out of the office with an enthusiastic expression, without any trace of his previous reserve and indifference.
Walking out of the office, Broly untied the collar of his shirt in annoyance. He really didn't like this kind of restrictive clothes.
“Success!”
Cade clenched his fist in excitement. He had prepared all the information and negotiated the supply contracts with the high-end restaurants one by one. The bank's current valuation of the farm far exceeded Broly's purchase price at the time.
After Broly discovered that the farm had no cash flow and was in great trouble, he decided to sell the farm's crops.

"Ten times leverage to short the Osborne Group? You are absolutely crazy!"
Forman was the department manager of a securities company and he looked at Cade as if he were a madman.
Since Tony Stark's press conference, the stock prices of military-related industries have been rising. Osborne Group is also involved in the research and development and production of some military equipment. Because it has signed a cooperation agreement with Stark Industries, it is the second most popular stock among all military stocks after Stark Industries.
Almost everyone is optimistic about the rise in the share price of Osborne Group, and only a madman would choose to do so.
"This is my choice. Even if I lose money, it's my own money. You just need to be responsible for the operation and borrow and sell."
Cade was very calm, he knew that this time he had an almost certain victory, as long as the plan succeeded, his dream of becoming an inventor would come true.

In Juarez, Mexico, in an ordinary warehouse, a dozen fierce-looking men were sorting goods. Their goods were extraordinary. The lids of wooden boxes were opened with crowbars, revealing neatly stacked rifles, magazines and grenades. Ammunition boxes with 420 rounds each were neatly stacked in the corner, and next to them was a crash box containing a Gustav recoilless gun.
They were checking whether the number of weapons was consistent with the list. The weapons stored here were enough to fight a small war. The weapons smuggled from the United States by the Mata Group were transferred here and then transported to various places.
"Faracón is almost unable to hold on. From now on, Boss Mata will be able to control all of Mexico."
A thug said proudly while counting the number of grenades.
After the fall of the Reyes Cartel, the Matt Cartel became the de facto overlord of the Mexican underworld, with a steady stream of drugs flowing into the United States and boxes of money being brought back.
Ballo Mata began to appear in public, investing hundreds of millions of dollars in his hometown of Guadalajara, building schools and hospitals, and buying a football team. In the mouths of the media, he became a hero of Guadalajara's grassroots rise.
"Don't forget where these weapons came from. Kingpin is still the king of the underworld. You'd better keep your mouths shut and don't cause trouble for the boss."
More than a month ago, Kingpin personally came to Mexico to meet with Barro Mata. No one knew what they talked about, but the furious Mata immediately killed five middle-level cadres after the meeting and massacred their entire family, even the baby.
These cadres are the ones who are clamoring for the Mata Group to break away from Jin Bing and become independent.
Even though he ruled the entire Mexican underworld, Barro Mata was still far from being comparable to Kingpin.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the roof of the warehouse was suddenly smashed through by an unknown object. Smoke and dust filled the air, and the dazzling sunlight from outside shone in.
"what happened?"
"Fuck it! Did some idiot accidentally pull the pin on a grenade?"
A terrifying aura stunned everyone.
Broly snapped his fingers, and all the weapons in the warehouse were suspended in the air. He took out a rifle from the pried open wooden box, and bullets flew out of the ammunition box and were automatically pressed into the magazine.
His control over Qi became more and more perfect, and he gradually acquired these telekinetic methods.
(In the Dragon Ball comics, Goku used telekinesis-like methods when fighting Piccolo in the World Martial Arts Tournament and when fighting Frieza on Namek)
Raising his rifle, Broly shot each man in the head, then flew out of the warehouse with all his weapons. After flying hundreds of meters, he raised a Gustav recoilless gun, loaded it with shells, and aimed at the warehouse.
"boom!"
The entire warehouse was reduced to rubble by the shock wave of the high-explosive bomb.
Broly was preparing weapons for the next operation. Even Alejandro couldn't get more than 40 weapons quietly. However, he had many former employees of the Matt Group, so it was not difficult for him to report the locations of several Matt Group's arsenals.
The harvest this time was enough to arm more than 200 people, which was somewhat beyond his expectations.
He sat cross-legged on the cloud, carrying all his weapons, and flew low towards the farm. Now everything was ready, except for the east wind, and Alejandro's plan could be launched immediately.
