Chapter 440: More than 80 Farmers
At 9 a.m. the next day, Xu Qing came to the Ambo town government again.
Xu Qing came early, and the town government had just opened, but Rick had already arrived.
Rick is a native of Ambo, born in Ambo, spent some time wandering outside when he was young, and returned to Ambo in middle age to take over the family's farm.
Then, he ran for mayor of Ambo Township and was eventually elected.
The reason why Rick ran for mayor of Ambo Town was not to use his power for personal gain and benefit his farm, but to really want to do something for Ambo Town.
Rick has been the mayor of Ambo Town for 6 or 7 years, and he has never heard rumors of Rick's corruption and abuse of power for personal gain.
Rick is a good mayor, which is recognized by the vast majority of people in Ambo.
Xu Qing saw Rick and a few farmers chatting in the compound of the town government, and said with a smile: "I came so early, I thought I would be the first to come." ”
When Rick and the others saw Xu Qing coming, they hurriedly walked over, and Rick also smiled: "If you can come at 7 o'clock, then you will be the first to come." ”
Xu Qing greeted everyone one by one, and when he heard Rick's ridicule, he continued to laugh and said, "Okay, I'll come at 7 o'clock in the future." ”
"If you can come to the town hall at 7 o'clock every day, I will give you the position of mayor. Rick laughed.
Xu Qing waved his hand: "Then forget it, I'm not interested in the position of the mayor of Ambo Town, I heard that the mayor of Ambo Town does every day, either to help a farm catch lost cattle and sheep, or to help the sanitation workers clean the town." ”
Rick smiled wryly, "It turns out that you also know what the mayor does, and it is nothing compared to what you do." ”
Xu Qing said: "To be honest, I still admire you, you can manage Anbo Town so well, if you let me manage it, I will step down within three days." ”
Xu Qing and Rick exchanged blows for more than 10 minutes.
Several farmers next to him were dumbfounded, so they could blow each other for more than 10 minutes, are politicians and businessmen so shameless.
At around 9:40, the town government had already come to more than 80 farmers.
There are more than 130 farmers in Ambo, most of whom are small farmers with a land area of only a few hundred acres.
If Carney Farm wants to expand to 200,000 acres, it won't be able to do so, even if all the small farmers buy land.
So what Xu Qing really cares about is those big farmers who own more land.
Xu Qing looked around more than 80 farmers and found that among the big farmers he knew, there were a few.
The combined land owned by these people is about 80,000 acres.
The farmers who came to the town government this morning had the intention of selling their land, otherwise they would not have had to come.
Just like the other 50 or so farmers who didn't come, just don't come.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, a few more farmers came, and the number of farmers who came was counted, and there were 86 in total.
The number was beyond Xu Qing's expectations, and Xu Qing thought that more than 50 would be good.
After all, most of the land owned by farmers in Ambo Town is inherited from the family, and generally will not sell the land unless it is absolutely necessary.
Although the American people's idea of being sorry for their ancestors and ancestors is not as strong as that of the Chinese, they still attach great importance to the things inherited from their ancestors.
Moreover, the land quality in Ambo Town is excellent, the production capacity is very good, and the farms in Ambo Town are rarely loss-making.
Could it be that he is the richest man in the world is too attractive, and Xu Qing asked Rick to send a message to various farmers yesterday, focusing on the purchase price is very rich.
These people may come to see if they can slaughter Xu Qing's fat sheep, if Xu Qing's price far exceeds the value of the farm, they will make a profit by selling the farm.
Their fathers and fathers will not blame them, but will praise them, sell them well, and it is foolish not to sell them.
Everyone sat down in the town hall, and Xu Qing and Rick sat on the simple rostrum.
Rick first explained to the farmers about Xu Qing's purchase of land, and hoped that everyone could sell the land to Xu Qing, and Xu Qing's price was very rich.
The farmer in the audience rolled his eyes when he heard Rick's words.
Rick, as the mayor of the town, actually directly hoped that everyone could sell the land to Xu Qing, whether this is considered to be oppressive with power, a bit shameless, is it a benefit to Xu Qing.
Rick and Xu Qing heard the discussion in the audience, and Rick's old face turned red, he spoke too bluntly just now.
Xu Qing didn't let him say that he hoped that all the farmers would sell their land to Xu Qing, and this sentence was completely said by Rick spontaneously.
The reason why Rick said this is simple, Rick wants Carney Farm to have as much land in Ambo Town as possible.
There are too many farmers in Ambo Town, and it is very inconvenient for Rick to manage Ambo Town, and all kinds of messy little things happen every day, and it takes him a lot of energy to deal with these little things.
If Carney Farms were able to acquire a lot of farms, there would be a lot fewer farmers in Ambo.
Another benefit is that he can better carry out his travel plans.
The bigger the Kani farm, the more tourism projects can be opened, and with Xu Qing's fame, it will be more attractive to tourists.
The tourism projects set up by 100 small farmers are not as good as the tourism projects of Carney Farms, and the tourism industry also has a Matthew effect.
A well-known tourist farm is comparable to many unknown tourist farms.
Of course, if Carney Farm owns more land, the more influence it will have over Ambo.
But Rick doesn't care, anyway, now Xu Qing and the Xu family's influence on Amber Town is incomparable, no matter how big it is.
Moreover, Xu Qing is not in Ambo Town all the year round, and the Xu family does not interfere in the affairs of Ambo Town, so the influence of Xu Qing and the Xu family will hardly be used.
For a variety of reasons, Rick was very supportive of Xu Qing's purchase of land this time.
After Rick finished speaking, Xu Qing began to speak: "Friends, you all know the purpose of today's meeting, I want to buy land, the more the better, if everyone is willing to sell the land to me, it will be better."
In terms of price, you don't have to worry, it will far exceed the value of the farm, the minimum is 2 times, the maximum is 5 times, I hope you will seriously consider it. ”
Xu Qing's price immediately stunned the farmers, and generally speaking, the purchase price is at most twice the value of the farm.
Farm operations are not a high-potential, profitable industry, so the purchase price will not exceed the farm value too much.
Moreover, the risk of farm operation is also quite large, many farms in Ambo Town have suffered disasters, and the hard work of a year has been directly destroyed.
The price Xu Qing said was far beyond the value of the farm, and many people were immediately moved.
Xu Qing listened to the discussions of the farmers, with a smile on his face, and his heart was moved, so hurry up.
