Chapter 532: Twelve Thousand Acre Farm
There are people in the DPRK who are easy to do, no matter what country it is, the most important thing is the weapons and equipment license of the security company, Andy's grandfather gave the maximum help, as long as it is not a weapon of mass destruction, the security company that Andy wants to set up can be obtained through some channels, such as armed helicopters, tanks, armored vehicles, etc.
Of course, in Andy's opinion, these things are completely unneeded in the country, and it is enough to get some difficult fully automatic guns, Nima, this is not a war zone.
Andy heard what Joseph said about the security company, so he nodded and said, "Al, what do you think?"
"In order to avoid high taxes, we have to exchange cash for high-quality assets as much as possible, after all, the United States is a global tax, it is useless to transfer outward, I suggest the boss, buy a farm, wasteland is cheap, but it can not bring profits, the employees of the security company always have to settle their families, which is good for the company, but also let the families of employees work on the farm, set aside an area as a residential area for employees, we build a house for them to rent first, you can also reward the use, which has a huge benefit to the sense of belonging of the company's employees. β
Joseph and Kenny listened to Al's proposal, and the corners of their mouths twitched, Nima, it's really a businessman, but it's really a good idea, after all, with the control of his family, the boss can be more at ease with the bodyguards around him who protect him, and of course, there is also the need to go to Nepal to recruit people to be more convincing.
"Okay, go back, you send the prepared materials, and we'll discuss it. "Andy is not sloppy in this matter, nothing is as important as his own safety, in addition to protection and external deterrence, don't be like a little pockmark, run a walk in the morning in Russia, because of the terrorist threat, followed by 16 bodyguards, since then these bodyguards have taken turns 24 hours a day to protect him, Nima, what did you do earlier.
58th Floor, Newsweek Building.
Andy took a few sips of coffee, slammed his mouth, put down his coffee cup, frowned slightly, and continued to look at the brochures on the table.
Drops β
"Boss, Mr. Vitre and Joseph have come over. β
"Let them in. Andy let go of his finger pressed on the answering machine.
Alhe walked in with Joseph holding a folder.
"Sit down first. What to drink to Tori. Andy continued to look at the picture album in his hand somewhat aimlessly, which showed farms for sale in various states, because of the bursting of the real estate bubble, the price of land has now plummeted, and the best farm land in Montana is now only $200 at $500 per acre.
"Joseph, which one do you think is more suitable?" Andy asked as he handed the album to Joseph and frowned slightly.
"The 40,000-acre hunting and recreational farm is a pristine natural landscape, with more than 1,000 acres of forest, three 10-acre lakes and two small ponds. The farm has a mountain, a valley and a large plain meadow at an altitude of 200 meters, and the woods are mostly oaks, pines, and cedars, which can be cut down freely, and there are many animals, such as deer, geese, ducks, turkeys, and ...... The holiday villa is built on the edge of a lake with beautiful scenery. Now only $8 million is needed. β
Joseph found the photo of the hunting and leisure farm and showed it to his boss, 40,000 acres of farm, enough for their company to expand to the scale of hundreds of people, enough to toss.
An international standard football field is 1.72 acres, and according to the conversion of two acres, everyone should have an intuitive impression.
Al took the coffee, shook his head, and said to Andy, who was a little tempted: "I am not in favor of buying this farm, except that the trees in it can be harvested for some money, it is completely a useless asset, and this farm has no investment value." β
Joseph and Andy looked at each other, the corners of their mouths twitched, and at the same time they turned their eyes to Al, who didn't sell anything, and took out a map and a brochure from his bag, and Andy and Joseph helped unfold the map on the desk.
"I've always advised my boss to diversify your personal portfolio, land is undoubtedly the best investment at any time, and now is the perfect time for the property bubble to burst.
Broken O Farms, located in Montana, USA, covers 124,000 acres and is one of the largest farms west of the Rocky Mountains. Al pointed to the name of a city on a map of Montana.
Here, near Augusta, the farm took nearly 20 years to build, creating a 20-mile stretch of land that spans three counties along the Sun River, and is the largest irrigated farm in Montana, with large water rights and producing 2.4 million liters of small-grain cereals and 25,000 tons of alfalfa hay each year.
Broken O Farm is also one of the largest commercial cattle farms in the Rocky Mountains region, with 3,500 cows, 800 gilts and 175 pasture bulls. The farm is sold on a turnkey basis, which means that all machinery, personnel and business arrangements are handed over to the new owner.
For leisure, you can also fish for rainbow trout, hunt antelope, white-tailed deer and black-tailed deer, and enjoy a game of upland birding.
The main home has 10,000 square feet of living space, including an indoor pool overlooking the Sun River and the nearby Rocky Mountains.
In addition to owning part of the water rights of the Sun River, it also owns the full water rights of the Kapok River, another glacial water that flows through half of the farms and the Sun River, and a 200-acre Kapok Lake, as many as five other lakes of various sizes.
Three mountains, two picturesque valleys, one of which takes the form of a basin, with a small lake of groundwater, and a forest covering an area of 5,000 acres... β
Andy looked at the location marked by Al with a pen in the picture book and map, and was a little dumbfounded, this Nima is too big, okay, although it is not comparable to his grandfather's land, but for Andy, it is still very surprising.
"Boss, these 120,000 acres are really nothing, the least of the top ten landlords has 830,000 acres, and your grandfather's land has reached 440,000 acres. No. 1 John Malone, the godfather of American cable television, owns 2.2 million acres in Colorado, New Mexico, Wyoming, Maine, Maryland and New Hampshire. Easements in Colorado, Maryland, and Maine.
This farm also has an easement, and now it costs only 60 million, which I think is a good investment, and in terms of operation, this farm can take advantage of the price fluctuations in the grain and beef markets, and if it weren't for the death of the two owners of the farm, their descendants have no intention of continuing to operate, and in the current economic environment, at least more than 90 million dollars. β
After Al's introduction, he sat back in his seat, leaving Andy and Joseph to look at the picture book on the table together, Joseph pointed to the edge of the mountain far away from the main ranch area and the farm area, looked up and said to Andy: "Boss, the valley between these two mountains and the large plain in front of it are very suitable for building a training base, next to the basin valley with a lake, this platform and the hillside, boss, you can build a new villa, after all, the scenery here is picturesque, and it is very closed and safe."
As long as a few towers are built on the perimeter, high-powered searchlights are installed, and a few fully automatic machine guns are installed, as long as there is movement, the security forces can definitely react quickly and strangle the incoming enemy.
This is definitely not a team of more than a dozen people, who can sneak in by the way. If there are not dozens of people with large weapons, let alone enter, it doesn't even take a few clicks to burst out.
Retrofitting peripheral infrared and range heat sensors and discreet cameras on the farm... β
When Alvitatre heard Joseph's introduction, the green tendons on his forehead jumped, the black lines on his head, and the feeling of teeth twitched the corners of his mouth, and what made him speechless was that his boss also had an extremely serious expression, nodding his head seriously, as if Joseph's design was deep in his heart.
"Over here... It is possible to shovel out a platform from this hillside, make a helicopter platform, and build several missile defense systems on the mountain... β
"Ahem... "Al really can't listen to it anymore, Nima, these two are using the farm as a war zone, the United States has never been baptized by war, well, except for 911.
"Are you okay?" Andy thought that Al was choking on coffee, interrupted the security discussion with Joseph, saw Al waving his hand with a bitter expression, reached out and touched his chin, and patted the album with great relief and said, "That's it!
Joseph also sat back in his seat with satisfaction, knowing that the partner of a security company was much higher than the status of a security consultant, he was glad that he had chosen to be a bodyguard for the young man in front of him, otherwise, where would this opportunity fall on him.
Joseph happily leaves, leaving only Andy and Al in the office.
"Boss, this is the information you want, as for the acquisition evaluation of AMC cable TV station, it is almost carried out, the evaluation judgment made by the think tank is that in the next 10 years, the value of cable TV station will increase by a multiple, and it is completely possible to carry out a period of operation to stimulate potential after the acquisition, and find a suitable time to sell it, because we analyzed that cable TV will be profitable at the same time, we also found that the future will belong to the era of streaming media, and the Hulu video website you established is fully expected to become a leader in the industryγ β
Andy couldn't help but be slightly stunned, he knows better than anyone how convenient the Internet will be in the future, everyone has one to two mobile devices, and can watch blockbusters anytime and anywhere with a mobile phone or tablet, and chase American dramas, otherwise there will be no new word Cord Cutting to unsubscribe from cable TV services.
