Xu Qing, the initiator of the establishment of the airport, spoke first:

"Mayor Rick asked me yesterday what type of airport I would like to build, and I thought that since we were going to build an airport, we should simply do it in one step and build an airport that could go directly to all parts of the United States, without having to make it difficult to expand it later.

It would cost more than $26 million to build such an airport and more than $2 million per year to maintain it, which is undoubtedly not a small amount of money.

The Ambo town government can't come up with that much money, but the mayor of Rick, the town government, must have more than 20 percent of the airport's shares, and Ambow uses land as a condition.

I think Mayor Rick's request is fine, I agreed, and now to talk about my request, I want to have more than 50% of the airport's shares.

Of course, I will contribute at least $15 million or more, and cover more than half of the annual maintenance costs. ”

Xu Qing finished his request and waited for the other people's reactions.

These people have different opinions, and some people think that it is okay for the airport to be controlled by Xu Qing, but it is an airport that cannot be profitable anyway.

Some people feel that Xu Qing has too many shares, 50% plus 20% of the town government, and only 30% of the shares are distributed to others.

You know, there are more than 20 of them, so many people share 30%, and each person can only get a little more than 1% of the shares on average, which is too little!

Some of these people agreed and some disagreed, and the comparison was about half each.

Xu Qing looked at the speeches of these people, and his heart was calm, in the end, he had a great possibility of getting more than 50% of the shares of the airport, although these people were worth millions of dollars, there were several tens of millions of dollars and hundreds of millions of dollars.

But most of these people's net worth is fixed assets such as farms, and it is very good to be able to come up with a dozen or hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash.

Xu Qing's $15 million advantage is huge, so Xu Qing is not worried.

The reason why Xu Qing spent so much money and energy to build an airport in Ambo Town was not only because the road from Ambo Town to Great Falls City was not easy to walk.

More importantly, after Xu Qing took over the Carney Group, he wanted to build a super-large farm in Ambo Town, which was at least several times larger than the current Carney Farm.

Now that he has taken over the Carney Group, Xu Qing wants to grow it into a 10 billion dollar food company, and if possible, 100 billion dollars is better.

To achieve this goal, it is essential to have a super-large farm that belongs to the Carney Group.

There are many advantages to this, such as the safety and supply of food raw materials can be controlled by oneself and not controlled by others.

The town of Ambo has a good environment, and the quality of the animals and crops produced on the farms here is very good, which is much higher than the average farm level in Montana.

This is also the reason why there are so many millionaires and multi-millionaires in Ambo Town, and even a few billionaire farmers.

And once Xu Qing wants to build a super-large farm in Ambo Town, the airport is indispensable.

There is an airport that allows Xu Qing to quickly transport the farm's primary produce to San Francisco and beyond.

Rick looked at the somewhat chaotic crowd in the audience, knocked on the table, and said, "After careful research, Ambo Town has set the total assets of the airport at $30 million.

Let's set up shares based on this total asset, and you can now say how many shares you want to buy. ”

Everyone was silent, and the total assets of $30 million, that is, 1% of the shares were worth $300,000.

$300,000 is not a small amount for most of the people on the scene, who have more money than $300,000, but no cash.

Rick's meaning is obvious, if you want to buy shares in the airport, then take out the cash.

Xu Qing leisurely looked at the people who were struggling, except for a few people with a relatively rich net worth, it would be good for others to buy 1% of the shares.

After more than half a minute, a middle-aged white man first said, "I want to buy 1% of the airport's shares." ”

Xu Qing knew this middle-aged white man, who was also a farmer with a net worth of millions of dollars.

After the middle-aged white man finished speaking, others continued to say how many shares they wanted to buy, most were 1% of the shares, and some were 0.5% of the shares.

Except for Xu Qing and a few wealthy people, everyone else has already said how many shares they want to buy, which together is 17% of the shares.

The Anbo town government wants to hold 20% of the shares, and now there are still 63% of the shares to Xu Qing.

The other people glanced at each other, and the shares they finally bought were 4%, 4%, 5%, and just 50% of the shares were left for Xu Qing.

Xu Qing laughed secretly in his heart, these guys may be afraid that he doesn't have 50% of the shares, so he won't pay directly.

For these people, Xu Qing's net worth is the richest, and it can't be compared to money, if Xu Qing is unwilling to pay $15 million, who will fill this gap.

No one can fill it, and if you average the score, except for the 20% of the Ambo town government, the remaining 80% of the funds will cost an average of about $1 million per person.

$1 million is already the net worth of most of the vast majority of the people on the scene, who would be willing to spend most of their net worth to build an airport that cannot be profitable, no one.

These people's brains are still very smart, although some people were unwilling to Xu Qing to take 50% of the shares before, but when it came time to really buy the shares, they tacitly left 50% of the shares to Xu Qing.

These people cooperated so much, and the result was naturally happy, and Xu Qing got 50% of the airport's shares.

After the distribution of shares, the location of the airport, the name of the airport, etc., began to be discussed.

These problems are small problems, and they were quickly discussed, and the airport site is not far from the center of Ambo Town, and the name of the airport is Ambo Airport, and the airport construction work officially began three days later.

At the end of the meeting, everyone went back to their homes.

Trevor also attended the meeting, and he invited Xu Qing to his house for dinner, but Xu Qing smiled and politely declined.

Trevor bought 1% of the airport's shares, which should have been more with his net worth, but after hearing that Xu Qing wanted 50% of the shares, he decided to buy only 1%.

Back at the villa, lunch had just been prepared, Xu Qing washed his hands and began to eat.

Xu Qing told his grandfather about the contents of the morning meeting, and they didn't say much, and they also knew that Xu Qing wanted to build a super-large farm in Ambo Town, and they supported it.

In the afternoon, Xu Qing and Sophia went to the horse farm for horseback riding.

Carney Farm has a small horse farm, most of which are horses worth only a few tens of thousands of dollars, compared to the million-dollar thoroughbreds.

However, the horse farm also has a few horses worth more than 100,000 dollars, and these horses are usually mainly ridden by guests, and Xu Qing and Sophia of course also chose these horses.

Xu Qing has only had a few horseback riding experiences, and he feels okay, when he rides a horse and runs fast on a vast farm, it feels like he is there.

Sophia's riding skills are obviously better than Xu Qing's, and her movements on the horse, body posture, and coordination between people and horses are much better than Xu Qing.

Xu Qing remembered that Sophia once said that when she was a girl, she often rode horses on her farm, chasing the wind of freedom.
