Chapter 91: Get the money ready
Ordinary pastures are not easy to sell.
If the Cleveland ranch were to be sold, it would inevitably cause a frenzy of potential investors, but the Gold ranch is not famous, and the only thing that is worthy of praise is the more than 100 years of history, and ...... Close to Cleveland Ranch.
The long history often means that the equipment is outdated, the soil fertility is declining, and the gold ranch has been listed for too short a time, and only the Zhang family is the only one who really shows sincerity.
Zhang Xiaokai didn't know that the old man was in a hurry to sell, and the price could be slightly lowered.
It's just that he sincerely wants to buy, and he is worried that he will be snatched away by a higher bidder halfway, although the possibility is relatively small, but it is not absolutely impossible.
Rather than taking the risk of not being able to buy the Gold Ranch in order to reduce the $1 or 2 million, Zhang Xiaokai prefers to be more secure, as long as he gets the Gold Ranch and drains the magical river water through, he is worried that he will not be able to earn back the capital?
There is no shortage of beef in the global market, but there has always been a shortage of high-end beef, if you raise another 4,000 heads, with Wal-Mart's huge sales channels, it can also be easily digested, and now there are many high-end restaurants that use Cleveland beef, only slightly worse than Kobe beef in terms of reputation.
In order to enhance his fame, Daddy Zhang thought about shooting documentaries and the like, but in the end he fell short because he didn't know the producer, it takes a long time to run a brand well, and Kobe Wagyu beef is not remembered all at once.
"You've grown up, and I know I shouldn't say much, but in my experience as a salesperson, it's a bit risky to show your cards as soon as you come up. The old man might have seen that we were tempted to buy his ranch, and if we raised the price, we might lose a lot of money. ”
His father's tone was not light, but he said it seriously.
According to Daddy Zhang's idea, he should first express his meaning in a roundabout way, and then let Mr. Old Gold come to the door and talk about the sale of the ranch.
Well, it's just a small problem, and I don't mean to be angry or blamed for it.
It may have been a bit strict before, but after waking up a few years ago, it was like a different person, becoming more and more open-minded, and rarely took the initiative to interfere in matters other than his son's personal safety and health.
"It's a bit impulsive, and although I sympathize with old Mr. Gold, like my grandfather, Ronald Sr., it's really hard to like him. ”
Zhang Xiaokai changed the topic and continued to speak: "Otherwise, let's contact Walker Manor in the south and ask them if they are willing to sell, if they really agree, the scale of our ranch can be expanded to more than 10,000 acres, and there are also grain farms and wine farms." ”
After a short thought, his father immediately said: "Maybe you really want to sell, I heard that the estate in the south has a plague this year, and because there are few grapes in the drought, in fact, it doesn't make much money, so I'll call Walker and ask Walker." ”
After a short conversation on the phone, I was very happy to be rejected, and the other party said that he had no intention of changing hands for the time being, and he lived here quite well......
The idea of expanding pastures could no longer be contained.
Old Mr. Gold did not keep them waiting, and came after supper that evening, but was in vain.
The father and son went to the town to watch a movie, "Jurassic World", the family has a home theater, renovated an empty room, and put up a few comfortable sofa chairs, but they can't find the source of the film, so they still have to go to the cinema to watch the new movie.
During this period, Father Zhang received a call from Old Gold, who had been in a hurry lately and did not want to waste his precious life waiting for someone else.
Standing at the door of the theater and chatting for a while, Daddy Zhang came back and sat down, and said, "Let's hurry up and prepare the money, it seems that he is really impatient to sell the Golden Ranch......"
————————————
The merger has not yet begun.
In addition to the relief of Mr. Gold, the happiest were the old employees of the Gold Ranch.
They felt that they would definitely need manpower after the land was expanded, and as veteran employees, they naturally had more advantages.
In the past, they were competitors to a certain extent, and some cowboys who had said bad things about the Zhang family and his son, or the Cleveland ranch employees, couldn't understand how things could have turned out like this, and they were worried about it.
Speaking of which, it is still related to interests.
Working under the hands of the Zhang family, the salary will be much higher than now, and the small white-collar workers in some big cities will only earn tens of thousands of dollars, but now the salary of Cleveland Ranch has reached about 100,000 US dollars, including accommodation and ordinary meals, where to find such a good job.
It is clear that the contract has not been signed yet, and the news has spread all over the sky.
Zhang Xiaokai felt that if he came to the bottom of the kettle at this time, saying that he would not buy it and forcing the old man to reduce the price, it would probably be really possible, but he still felt that there was no need to make extraneous branches, and now he was arrogant and too lazy to care.
Let the manager help sell some of the U.S. Treasury bonds, cash out more than $16 million, and continue to keep the rest for investment, and the money in the ranch account is enough.
As for the money in the personal account, a large amount of taxes have been paid, and it is definitely not cost-effective to take it out to buy things.
One has the money to buy and the other wants to sell.
The rest of the matter was very simple, the formalities were processed in just half a day, a lawyer and an accountant were present to help supervise, leaving old Gold and his family a week to move out, and the cattle and sheep were bought with additional money.
As a result of this merger, the number of cattle and sheep skyrocketed to more than 6,300 and 5,700 respectively, as well as a number of horses, such as the worthless Quarter horse and the American flower horse.
The signboard of the Golden Ranch has not been removed, and the middle fence is also there, so in order to hide people's eyes, it is better to keep them separately for the time being.
If they are all brought to Cleveland Ranch, Zhang Xiaokai is worried that the quality of those cattle and sheep will suddenly improve, and there is no way to fool the past, and wait until next year to change a batch of beef cattle, saying that it is a specially bred hybrid cattle, then there is no need to worry.
He is only seventeen years old, and the most important thing is patience and time......
It didn't take much effort to swallow Gold's ranch, and the elder Gold packed his bags that day and prepared to move out of the house he had lived in since he was a baby.
When people are old, if nothing else, their lives are about to come to an end, and they are nostalgic and nostalgic, but they don't feel that it is a mistake to sell it, and many things are downplayed after getting sick, including this ranch that has been maintained all their lives.
The employees did not throw a farewell party for the boss, and the Gold family walked quietly the next morning, the old man who was said to have been divided up and went to Stanford University alone with the money.
Zhang Xiaokai has been watching the Golden Ranch for a long time, and his favorite is the lake located in the middle of the pasture, where the underground naturally forms an undercurrent, leading directly to the sea, and the taste of the water is slightly salty and crystal clear.
Refurbishment plans are already on the agenda.
After the people have finished measuring, they should also buy more seine nets that were customized last time, and prepare to enclose the whole circle and refuse small carnivores......
