"Hey, Jiang, you have to take a good tour of my ranch..." Cotton Harris said eagerly as he put his arm around Jiang Hai's shoulders.
Hearing his words, Jiang Hai naturally said 'Of course', and then the two of them walked into Cotton Harris's manor.
Everyone just sat in his home for a while and drank a cup of coffee. In less than fifteen minutes, they came out again, and then Cotton Harris accompanied Jiang Hai in his manor. Turned around.
Jiang Hai was also looking at Cotton Harris's manor carefully. From this look, Jiang Hai also saw a lot of problems.
Cotton Harris's manor is somewhat similar to the former manor when Jiang Hai came, but there are some differences.
Before coming, Jiang Hai had naturally checked all the nearby manors.
In addition to Jiang Hai's own manor, Cotton-Harris's manor is the largest manor in the area.
Winthrop, after all, is located in Massachusetts and next to Boston. It is different from Texas and Montana.
The land there is vast and sparsely populated, with large tracts of pasture, just like the Mongolian Province in China.
Just like in China, when you think of raising cattle and sheep, the first thing that comes to mind is Mongolia Province, not places like the imperial capital or the magical capital.
Even if these places exist in the suburbs, they are not particularly large. Due to geographical and population restrictions, these things cannot be vigorously developed in densely populated areas. As the northeastern corner of the United States, the same is true here in the United States. , Massachusetts is pretty good, but in New York, it is absolutely impossible to build any farms, manors, or ranches in the countryside.
In Winthrop, apart from the town, there are only about 40,000 acres of land outside the town that can be cultivated and planted, of which more than 10,000 acres are on the right side of the highway, where basically all It is a farm. Some grow wheat, some grow vegetables, and some grow valuable fruits. The area is not big, and they are all cut into small pieces. It has more than 10,000 acres of land, except for more than 3,000 acres that belong to the town. In addition to the remaining 8,000 acres, the remaining 8,000 acres of land are divided by 121 farms. The average farm has dozens of acres of land. This is indeed the case. The largest farm there does not exceed One hundred acres.
But the income is quite high. After all, in the United States, there is no need to worry about selling vegetables and fruits, especially in the northeast corner.
The price is really no worse than that of raising cattle. Vegetables and fruits are really very profitable in the United States, and wheat and the like are the main food grains. They are regulated by the government. They make less money, but there is no fluctuation. Capital-guaranteed transaction.
Jiang Hai and the others are on the left, with a total of less than 30,000 acres.
Jiang Hai's manor directly occupies more than one-third, totaling 11,200 acres. This time he bought another 8,640 acres. Together, Jiang Hai's land area has reached about 19,800 acres. In addition to In addition, there is a sea forest nearby, which is the first line of defense against sea winds or typhoons. There are about 2,000 acres of coastal land, which belongs to the Massachusetts government. That is not allowed. In addition to all the land on the left side that was sold, he calculated that there were about 6,700 acres left.
The Cotton-Harris ranch occupies two-thirds of it, a total of 4,500 acres.
Before Jiang Hai comes here, you must know that Cotton-Harris's manor is the largest manor.
He took the civilian route. Before Jiang Hai came, he also sold all his cattle to the Carlite Company, so that he could earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. However, because he herded cattle all year round, and his The reason for the large amount of grass is that the pasture of his manor is actually not too fertile. When he took over from Jiang Hai, his manor was almost at two extremes, and some places were even exposed.
This is Jiang Hai's intuitive view of this manor. Whether it is grass, soil, or cattle, it is very different from his own, quite a lot.
And although this manor only has 4,500 acres, Cotton Harris raises 37,000 cattle here, which is more than the cattle on his own manor. He also raises twelve cowboys. However, there are no cattle dogs, and the work is entirely dependent on cowboys.
I have to admit that this is really different from Jiang Hai, but this is also true. In the United States, most ranches are like this.
Not to mention raising cattle at full capacity, but they are willing to raise more. They are different from Jiang Hai's ranch. The cattle raised by Jiang Hai are all high-quality, and the cattle they raise can earn one hundred and eighty dollars. That's pretty good.
It is for this money that they raise as many cows as possible. As for raising more cowboys, it is to feed them with pasture. Even in midsummer, their cattle are not enough to eat. They must introduce pasture, and although cattle dogs are good , but it doesn’t know how to take care of cattle. It’s precisely because of this that people like Cotton Harris don’t raise cattle dogs.
After a brief glance, Jiang Hai and Cotton Harris also returned to Harris' home, and then it was time for head-on negotiations.
"I think you also know that the prices I give others are from my fellow villagers. I can't cheat you. One acre is 2,400 US dollars, and the house is not included. If you agree, we can sign the contract now." Sitting down. After sitting on the sofa, Jiang Hai waited for Cotton Harris's wife to bring him a cup of coffee. Jiang Hai took a sip and then said to him, he went straight to the point and he didn't like to make too many turns. .
"I've heard about this price, and I can accept it..." Hearing Jiang Hai's words, Cotton Harris nodded and said seriously to Jiang Hai. To be honest, he knew that he was indeed making money at this price. If he were to sell it, the price per acre would be US$1,700. Jiang Hai's price was nearly 40% higher. Why was he dissatisfied
If Jiang Hai doesn't sell it anymore, he will lose 4,500 acres. One acre costs 2,400 U.S. dollars, which is 10.8 million U.S. dollars.
With this money, if you go to places like Texas and Montana, you can buy an 8,000-acre ranch. If you go to Mexico, you can buy a manor of more than 10,000 acres. This is the reality. The price of land here is too high. It’s expensive, of course, but if you go to California, it’s probably just as big.
"I won't give you any more money. Your ranch costs a total of 10.9 million US dollars. What do you think?" Looking at Cotton Harris's expression of interest, Jiang Hai knew that he was not satisfied with this price. He may not be tempted, of course, it is not ruled out that he will raise the price, but if this is the case, then Jiang Hai will just leave. He bought these lands to make money, but he will not be taken advantage of.
"I am very satisfied with the money for the house and land. I agree with this aspect, but my cows are also the reason why I must meet with you today." After listening to Jiang Hai's words, Cotton Harry Si had nothing to be dissatisfied with, but after hesitating, he still said.
"Oh? What's wrong with the cattle?" Before Jiang Hai took over the land, he made it clear that he would not take in the cattle.
The reason Jiang Hai has said before is that there is no use for these cattle. After they are transformed, the time to sell the cattle will be missed.
If he doesn't transform, these cows are useless in his hands. After all, he doesn't go into the low-end market, and now Cotton Harris will make Jiang Hai look at him. If he must let If he buys his cattle, then Jiang Hai will have to consider whether to buy the manor or not.
"My cattle were originally signed with Carlite Company and sold directly to them. But as you know the current situation, if I sell the land to you, Carlite Company will not take our cattle. I can't Are you looking at my cows rotting in the shed? I came to you this time because I want to trouble you to help me find a way, or help me sell these cows, and I will give you some deductions for the land purchase. Ten million is enough. If you have no other choice, I would like to ask you to give me a few more days and wait until I sell these cattle." Looking at Jiang Hai, Cotton Harris said hesitantly. In fact, he He said this just to borrow Jiang Hai's connections. He had heard that Jiang Hai was related to Wal-Mart Group.
Compared to the Wal-Mart Group, Carlite Company is just a small person. If he can take advantage of this time to get in touch with the Wal-Mart Group, it will be out-and-out good news for him, so after saying that, he also has He looked at Jiang Hai with some hesitation.
After listening to what he said, Jiang Hai also thought about it. It was just a bridge. It didn't matter if he arrived, because he knew that Pula Walton was a businessman and she would not look down on her face on this. Yes, besides, he doesn't need her to see his own face.
So he stood up and called Pula Walton first. After the boss understood the situation, Pula Walton didn't say anything when he arrived. He directly called the Wal-Mart Group and asked the person who usually collected the meat to go to Jiang Hai. After making a phone call, Jiang Hai also gave the call to Cotton Harris on the opposite side.
After explaining the situation, the people from the Wal-Mart Group were willing to come and take a look. If there was no problem with the meat quality, then it didn't matter if they accepted the meat, because they themselves had to collect meat everywhere.
"Thank you so much!" During the phone call, after initially reaching the call direction, Cotton Harris said to Jiang Hai excitedly. You must know that Carlite Company was originally a second-tier dealer, but now it has omitted the middle one. Ring, he can earn more.
"You're welcome. If the quality of your meat is not up to par, then I can't help it. My face cannot allow others to treat inferior meat as good meat. I think you understand what I'm talking about!" Looking at Cotton Harris's eyes, Jiang Hai also smiled. He was not using the back door. To be precise, he had no back door.
"Of course, of course. I have been in business for so long and I have never had any problems with my beef. I am really grateful to you this time." Hearing Jiang Hai's words, Cotton Harry on the other side Si didn't care and said with a loud laugh.
"Then our business..." Seeing Cotton Harris solve the biggest problem, Jiang Hai also said to him.
"Absolutely no problem. Just as I said just now, for ten million dollars, this land and house are all yours. And I can also help you. The remaining owner of the manor, I will also They're all quite familiar." When Jiang Hai mentioned it, Cotton Harris, who had no worries this time, immediately slapped his lips together, immediately made a verbal agreement with Jiang Hai, and then took Jiang Hai with him Hai visited several nearby companies, but none of them had signed a contract with Jiang Hai. Originally, these people were not familiar with Jiang Hai, so they were still hesitant about selling their ranch.
Now when Harris and Jiang Hai came and talked about the price, these people were all moved.
In the afternoon of the same day, Jiang Hai and his group of more than a dozen people went to the Moses Adams Law Firm in Boston. Penelope Dahle received them. After signing their respective contracts, the land of these people was Jiang Hai's.
In the next month, they have one month to find a new place and sell their belongings. One month later, Jiang Hai will collect the house.
After these words were written clearly in black and white, these people also started to move. Foreigners did not have the idea of having a meal, a drink, and celebrating after the contract was negotiated. After signing the contract, they went back to prepare. went.
Jiang Hai was the last one to leave. After taking a look at everyone leaving, he pulled Penelope Dahle's sleeve.
"Has Moses Adams started taking action?" Looking at Penelope Dahle, Jiang Hai felt that since Moses Adams did not show up today, he should be busy with himself, so he is here now. After asking such a question and hearing Jiang Hai's words, Penelope Dahle also looked around, and after making sure there was no one else, she nodded lightly.
"Mr. Adams told me to prepare funds for you, but if you use too much, one or two hundred million US dollars is enough. This time, not only can he help you solve your trouble, but he can also help you get a vote." Jiang Hai raised his eyebrows at Penelope's words.
Moses Adams is best at business mergers, and now it seems that this guy is really interesting this time.
"Tell him to rest assured. I still have 400 million US dollars in cash in the bank. Let him do a better job for me." After thinking about the cash in his bank, Jiang Hai smiled. Indeed, if it weren't for his net worth, If we calculate it based on cash, there are really very few people in the world who can use more cash than themselves, because other people are afraid that there is too much money in the bank and it will depreciate and become worthless.
But Jiang Hai just likes to see the money in the bank. This can be regarded as a habit brought from China!
