Zeng Gong and the three of them only drank half a cup of coffee, and the agent over there came, looking very anxious, Zeng Gong had a little bit of a plan in his heart, it seems that the price can be pressed down, if it can be cheaper, it will be cheaper, the money in our pocket is not blown by a strong wind, but he doesn't want to think about how his money came from.
"Mr. Jimmy, I'm sorry for the delay. "This person looks a little dark-skinned, he should be Hispanic, but the shrewdness flashing in his eyes makes people dare not underestimate it.
"Hehe, Mr. John has worked hard, we have just arrived, this is the buyer, Mr. Zeng Gongzeng, and this is his lawyer, Mr. Lane. Jimmy shook John's hand, and then introduced Zeng Gong and Ryan with a smile, he was just pulling fiber, Jimmy positioned himself was still very correct, and the protagonists were still Zeng Gong and Ryan.
"Hello Mr. Zeng. John quickly shook hands with Zeng Gong again, these years Chinese are all rich people, rich Chinese began to buy land all over the world to satisfy their love for land, are their high-quality customers of these real estate agents.
"Hehe, Mr. John, I just bought a nearby ranch and want to expand the area, and your ranch is just nearby. Zeng Gong shook hands with John and said bluntly, but secretly slandered in his heart, Americans are really too bad to choose names, John, Pete or something shouted on the street, eight out of ten people turned back, and the return rate was too high.
"Ah, it turns out that Mr. Zeng bought the Cruze Ranch, Mr. Zeng is really generous. John said enviously, but he was relieved to think that his large ranch was about to change hands.
"It's just the right time, Mr. John, let's talk about the ranch. Zeng Gong shook his head, this is not something to show off.
"Okay, Mr. Zeng, you have also seen the situation of the ranch, my employer's quotation is 65 million US dollars, I don't know what you think. As soon as Mr. John heard this, he immediately got into the groove.
Zeng Gong shook his head when he heard this, "It's too much, the impact on that herd is quite strict, and now the ground is uneven, it's very troublesome to sort out, and a lot of money is needed to relay the irrigation system, sixty-five million is not cost-effective, how about five thousand?"
Zeng Gong played a Chinese-style bargain, and directly cut the price to 10 million people who saw the people next to him, which was too ruthless.
"Mr. Zeng, it's too little. John shook his head and retorted, "That's 67,000 acres of land, and 65 million is a reasonable price." ”
"No, no, if it was 65 million before the Yellowstone movement, I could still consider it, but now it is too troublesome to lay the irrigation system, and grazing in uneven places is also a trouble, 67,000 acres is not an advantage, I hope Mr. John can give a real price. Zeng Gong directly criticized Mr. John's reasons as incomplete.
"There is also a large lake of about 10 acres in the pasture, which can completely reduce the cost of irrigation. John found another reason.
"It's six or seven hundred acres of lakes now, or even bigger, and it's a direct waste of my ranch resources. Zeng Gong still shook his head, more powerful than the domestic pawn shops.
John was stunned when he heard this, he didn't look at it for a long time, and he didn't know what was going on inside": But Mr. Zeng's price was too low. ”
"Then how much does Mr. John think is appropriate?" Zeng Gong directly took John's army, and kicked the ball to him, playing Tai Chi with the Chinese, you are still a little tender.
"This, how about you look at sixty-two million?" John broke out in a cold sweat, the Chinese he usually contacts are all local tycoons, and they are very generous, how can they meet such a bargain.
"Mr. John, do you think it's appropriate, I also have a big lake on my ranch, about six or seven hundred acres, and you say that two lakes of this size are a bit of a waste, and I don't have to bury one by then? Zeng Gong still shook his head and continued to bargain.
"Well, how about that Mr. Zeng's 60 million?" John was now confused, and he didn't know how to deal with it.
"Fifty-seven million, if you want, we'll make a deal. Zeng Gong leaned forward, staring at John with blazing eyes.
"Whew, okay, Mr. Zeng, let's have a good cooperation. John gasped slightly, fortunately the price was not lower than his bottom line, and said to Zeng Gong with relief.
"It was a pleasure to work with. Zeng Gong also smiled, looking at John's expression, knowing that although his price did not reach his bottom line, there was basically no oil and water to fish.
The next thing is simple, with Ryan checking the terms of the contract one by one, there is no problem Zeng Gong signed his name, which also means that he has another 67,000 acres of land under his name. Even if it's too late for John to regret it now, unless he is willing to pay a high price, this is still if Zeng Gong is willing to transfer.
"Mr. Zeng, I'm curious, the average Chinese come to the United States to buy ranch, the orchard and everything are very generous, basically what the price is, but you?" The matter was over, the atmosphere was relaxed, and John couldn't wait to ask his own questions.
"Hehe, it's very simple, the Chinese you come into contact with are not bad money masters, and they won't grind with you for millions, and I, before coming to the United States, was a poor bastard, and only became rich in Las Vegas, bargaining has become my instinct, if you stay in China for a while, you will understand what is the art of bargaining." Zeng Gong smiled, several years of life experience saved him millions.
Seeing that John was still confused, Zeng Gong stretched out a finger: "Mr. John, if I am a peddler, you see the things on my stall, how much do you think my finger is?"
"A dollar?" John asked tentatively.
"No, no, I'll look at your outfit first, if you're wearing a suit like yours, I'll shake my head, it might be ten dollars or a hundred dollars, if you think it's in RMB, but you pay the price and you're fooled, maybe it's worth less than one RMB, the only thing you need to do is to grasp the shortcomings of the thing and force the merchant to lower the price. Zeng Gong shook his head with a smile and explained.
"Oh my God, you Chinese are so cunning. John touched his head, apparently with the capacity of his brain, he couldn't think of so many twists and turns.
"It's not cunning, it's the art of living. Zeng Gong said and stood up, "Okay, Mr. John, let's stop here today, you know I have just bought a ranch, and there are still many things to deal with." ”
"Well, I hope we can work together next time. John also stood up happily, and he was glad to be able to make this big deal today.
Although there is only less than 170,000 acres of land, the beautiful environment there almost integrates the essence of Yellowstone Park and other beautiful places, and the Wizard of Oz in the eyes of Americans.
"Mr. Zeng, you look excited. Several people left the café, and Jimmy looked at Zeng Gong with excitement written on his face, feeling a little strange.
Ryan glanced at Zeng Gong, and then said: "Uncle Jimmy, Zeng has made a lot of money this time, God will punish him for raising cattle and sheep in the pasture, don't you know, there is definitely the most beautiful and peculiar scenery in the world, only you can't imagine, it is simply the Wizard of Oz." ”
The Wizard of Oz? This time Jimmy's turn can't turn around, is it so exaggerated? Didn't the Yellowstone Movement destroy it, you must know that this movement really made the head of the U.S. government nervous for a while, but fortunately, Yellowstone will enter a quiet period in the future, even if the volcanic eruption will be 100,000 years later.
"If John had seen that place, he would have regretted that he had sold it in a hurry, and would have paid more money to buy it back. Ryan's explanation was a little pale, and Jimmy was still a little brainless.
"Mr. Zeng, Jimmy wait a minute, wait a minute. The no-man just couldn't help but mutter, and before he had taken a few steps, John panted and chased after him.
Zeng Gong asked knowingly, "What's wrong, Mr. John?"
"Huh, Mr. Zeng, my employer doesn't want to sell that ranch again, I hope you can be accommodating. John took a few deep breaths, suppressed a somewhat boiling heartbeat, and said with some embarrassment.
Before Zeng Gong could speak, Ryan and Jimmy's faces first turned cold, and they looked at John with unkind faces, and Ryan was the first to attack, "Mr. John, are you playing with us?"
