Chapter 248: Buying Stony Creek Ranch
A familiar "beep...... came from the phone ...... beep", and after a few seconds, it was connected, and an eager, flustered, old, and hoarse voice came from the other end, "This is Stony Creek Ranch, and I'm Blake......"
Jin Yang adjusted his mood a little, tried to keep smiling, and took advantage of others, he had to have a good attitude, right?
"Hello, Mr. Black, it is a pleasure to speak with you.
I'm the rancher of Redbud Ranch, you can call me Jin, I think you've heard of me.
Listen to me first, don't interrupt me, my temper is not particularly good.
I guess you should have received the news of the specific date of the oil field development, which shouldn't be good news for you, right?
I'm sorry, please forgive me for being so direct, but I actually want to help you by calling you this time, really, I think I'm a good person to help others, at least that's what I think myself.
As for the next fate of Stony Brook Ranch, or for its future arrangements, I don't know if you are ready to plan?
I'm sorry, but I can't help but want to tell the truth, please forgive me for being an honest person. A stingy, stingy, short-tempered and eccentric person like you probably doesn't have any friends, right?
Or rather, there's no one going to help you, right?
So, I want to say that I can help you buy Stony Brook Ranch and help you with this problem.
Of course, the price may not be too high, after all, you know that your ranch is depleted of water and that some bad pollution is about to happen......
I'll send someone to talk to you if I can, I think one o'clock this afternoon would be a good time......"
As if to satisfy his bad taste, Jinyang Balabala spoke a lot, his words were full of sarcasm and ridicule, and he didn't give Old Black a chance to speak, nor did he ask him if he agreed, anyway, at this time he had no choice.
For old Blake, Jinyang is now his only life-saving straw, even if this straw can only save him half of his life, he has no choice, survival or destruction, is this a problem?
So Jin Yang doesn't need to care about what the other party will think, anyway, this is a person that everyone hates.
And the old Blake on the other end of the phone didn't say a word, and even a heavier voice didn't reach Jinyang's ears, as if it was just a cloud of air over there, and only the echo on the phone proved that someone had indeed answered the phone.
Just do what you say, now at this time, there is no need for business negotiation and bargaining, and old Blake is already meat on the chopping board, and can only be slaughtered.
After hanging up the phone, Jin Yang called John again, asking him to go to Old Black's Stony Creek Ranch before one o'clock in the afternoon to talk about buying the ranch, as for the price, it can be pressed as low as it can, and there is nothing to pity this kind of person.
Originally, Jinyang planned to let Allen deal with the purchase of Stony Creek Ranch, but considering that he was now busy with the construction of the ranch accommodation area, he couldn't get out of it, so he dispelled this idea.
In this case, you can only use the rest of the people, the people here in the tourist area are not suitable, this work can only be done by cowboys, because only cowboys are the ones who are most familiar with a ranch and the people who know the specific value of a ranch best, so he thought of John.
John is an old cowboy in this area, he has lived on the land for more than 40 years, feeding horses and herding cattle...... All of this was all too familiar to him.
Pasture water, pasture, topography...... And so on, old John can say that the head is the Tao, and can analyze its good or bad in detail.
John Sr. also knew Stony Brook Ranch very well, and he had worked on that ranch for a while, although he eventually left because of Old Blake's character and character, but this did not prevent him from having a deep understanding of the ranch.
He was familiar with every plant and tree there, because the former Stony Creek Ranch was also a good pasture, with plenty of sunshine, plenty of water rights, lush pastures, and fertile soil...... All of this means that it's a good pasture.
It's a pity that it was ruined by the old Blake guy.
……
……
At one o'clock in the afternoon, John showed up at the gate of Stony Brook Ranch punctually.
The ranch gate is very ordinary, just a few stout logs set up a gate frame, and there is a big sign next to it, with a few big words written on it: Stony Creek Ranch, which looks quite old and old.
After dialing the phone of Old Blake and obtaining permission from his owner, John slowly drove into the ranch full of memories.
Stepping on this land again, John's mood is quite complicated, and he can't tell what it feels like.
It wasn't a good memory for him, and old Blake's vitriolism was perhaps the thing that impressed him the most, and perhaps some beautiful streams, lovely cows and sheep, and cowsheds where he once worked.
It's a pity that even these things are slowly disappearing, and nothing is left.
The negotiation process was much easier than he had imagined, dying, haggling, and arguing for reason...... None of this has happened.
Maybe old Blake had accepted his fate, or maybe he already knew what his end would be, he just listened to John's offer silently, and then pondered quietly for a while, then nodded helplessly and agreed.
The two agreed that at ten o'clock tomorrow morning, under the witness of the lawyer, Old Blake, the old owner of Stony Creek Ranch, would sign a contract with Jinyang, the new owner of the ranch, to decide the new fate of the ranch.
This is the end of the story, and perhaps a new beginning.
It's both the new life of Old Black and the new life of Stony Creek Ranch.
Everything was very simple, the whole process didn't even take ten minutes, John didn't even drink a cup of coffee, yes, the last servant of old Blake also left him, and now even a cup of coffee may be a luxury for him, right?
Looking at Old Blake's lost and desperate eyes, John felt a little unbearable in his heart, but he didn't know what to say, he didn't want to look at this place any more, so he had to drop a sentence "Take care." Then he hurried away.
Looking at the ancient gate that was still quietly guarding the ranch behind him, the eye-catching: Stony Creek Ranch, four big characters, John sighed, people, you still have to have some kindness, why bother with today?
But tomorrow will be a new life, right? I hope that Stony Brook Ranch can get better and better under the management of the boss.
……
At ten o'clock the next day, in the two-story building of Stony Creek Ranch, very punctual, looking at the contract in his hand, Jin Yang brushed and signed his name, and smiled: "Mr. Black, happy cooperation, you can rest assured, Stony Creek Ranch will not decline, I will let Ran bloom with his own brilliance." ”
Old Blake trembled and signed his name on the contract, because his hands were shaking, and the words he wrote were slightly distorted, and then said in a hoarse voice: "Thank you." ”
After speaking, he stood up, took out the pipe that never left his body from his bag, did not light it, just held it to his mouth, picked up the crutch placed aside with his right hand, stood on the floor with a "bang", took two steps, and walked out slowly.
Leaving the ranch where he had been for most of his life, Stony Creek Ranch that once belonged to him.
I don't know why, Jin Yang actually saw regret and relief from his back, perhaps, he wanted to open it.
I hope that old Blake can be a kind person in the future and live a good life.
