Chapter 20: Arson
The real estate agency that Charles recommended was just a small company. Link came to the company, which had rented a sixty-square-meter office building, and there were no employees in it. The front desk led Link to the manager's room, where a balding man with a belly as big as an octuplet stood up, stretched out his hand and smiled, "Welcome, Mr. Hans! I'm John Eco." You can call me John. β
"Hello John. Nice to see you. You can call me Link!"
"Okay, Link. Need tea or coffee?"
"Tea, thank you!"
"Sarina, please make a cup of tea for Link, make me a cup of coffee. John said as he pressed a button on his desk.
Soon the female secretary who had brought Link in came in with a tray and brought drinks to the two of them.
John took a sip of his coffee and said, "Link, I heard Charles tell you what you mean." Are you going to buy three farms?"
Link smiled and said, "Yes." I hope to buy all three farms. β
John's eyes flashed and he smiled, "That's a big deal." But Link, although the three farms are very large, there are only three farms there, and they are farms of the same nature. The three farm owners will definitely communicate with each other. If you want to buy all three farms, the price may be much higher than the normal market price. You know, we can't let our adversaries know what we're working on, or we're going to be on the back foot. If you want to buy those farms at your psychological price, unless you can strategically give up one or two farms if necessary. β
Link also knew that the three farms might band together to raise the price to him. But he also has a way to deal with it: "That's why I need you." And, I don't think you're going to issue a takeover request to three farms at the same time. β
John laughed and said, "Of course. What he said just now was actually to ask for a higher commission from Link and Link, but that difficulty was actually easy to solve. As long as you buy them one by one, you can do it. The solution was simple, but he offered it anyway
"You need to be patient, though. β
Link could tell what he meant, and he hoped that he would hand over the transactions of the three farms to him as an agent. But he didn't want to make that promise. Otherwise, once the contract is signed, if the first farm finds out that there are ghosts in it, it will be difficult for him to leave the other party. He nodded and said, "It will take a long time for such a large piece of land to be built, and it will take a little longer to operate, which is acceptable to me." β
John saw that he pretended not to hear his own hints, and he did not dare to think of him as a milky boy anymore. He moved his hips, which were bigger than a millstone, sat up a little more upright, and said, "I mean, I hope you can promise to leave the acquisition of the three farms to our company's agent." Then we can plan a plan of action. β
Link smiled and said, "John, you're in business." If we have a good time working together, of course we will continue to work together. What do you say?"
When John heard him say this, he could only nod his head, but he did not give up his purpose: "As you say, in business." The three farms are a holistic plan, and we need to do a lot of preparatory work. If the first farm is successful and you change your mind and you don't plan to buy the other two. That's not fair to us. β
Link raised an eyebrow and said, "John, I think the key to whether we can work together is whether we are happy to work together. If we can work together happily, we can continue to work together. Also, as long as the other party's bid is not too high, you don't need to worry that I will change my mind at the last minute. β
"In that case, why can't we implement it?"
"All right, John. Link said with a shrug. "It's our first time working together and we're not familiar with each other. You're worried that I'll go back, but I also have my worries. If you are worried that I will change my mind at the last minute, as long as our cooperation is pleasant, and I lose my intention to buy those lands, I can pay you fifty thousand yuan as compensation, which I think will be enough to make up for the preparatory work you have done. β
John wasn't happy about this, but he saw that Link just wouldn't let go of the overall agreement, so he had to smile and give in: "Okay, I like your honesty. However, it really hurt my sincere heart, and I hope to be compensated by $100,000. β
Link nodded and said, "Yes." β
"Okay, I agree, we can represent the first farm first. Now we have ample conditions for continued cooperation. John said with a smile. "I got to know the three plots of land you're going to buy, and it's more complicated than buying other farm land. And this factor should also be taken into account in terms of price. β
Link knew he was talking about the three lands joining the National Tourist Area. The three farms will receive a certain amount of subsidies each year when they join the tourist area, which will make the farm owner less likely to sell the farm, and these lands will need to deal with the relevant agencies if they want to leave the tourist area.
"I know what you're saying, so I need someone professional to help me with this. β
"We are professionals. I can help you solve the problem of exiting the tourist area after buying the land. However, you will need to pay a separate handling fee. β
"Of course. β
"The highest price budget you give is a thousand dollars per acre. But we'll try to keep the price as low as possible. If we can buy the land for less than $1,000 each, we need to charge 10% of the difference as a reward. β
Link frowned and said, "Isn't it your task to make a deal at the lowest price?" In addition, the unit price of $1,000 is not my psychological floor price, but the highest reference price given by the evaluation team. So, your request is not reasonable. However, if you can keep the unit price below 800, I can pay you an additional 10% of the difference. β
"No, no. Link, the price of eight hundred is almost impossible to make a deal. You know, it's not just arid farm land. β
"Last year, arid land farms in Nevada were traded for only $500," Link said. Although there is Lake Mead there. But there are no irrigation facilities. Moreover, water rights do not meet the needs of the farms at full capacity. In fact, it was still a semi-arid farm. Even if there is a subsidy there, the price of the unit is not low if it is given to 800. β
John saw that he had bitten the base price of eight hundred, so he had to work the proportion: "Eight hundred is acceptable." But we need a 50% bonus. β
Link thought for a moment and said, "20%!"
β30%γ β
"OK! 30 percent. β
"Also, I would recommend buying Marina Farm first. After the two sides reached the first agreement, John put forward his opinion.
Link nodded and said, "No problem." Actually, I think the same way. β
Link and John Eco negotiated for more than two hours, and it was already 7 p.m. when Link left the real estate agency after signing the licensing agreement.
He came out with four bodyguards to find a restaurant for dinner, and Warren, who was his driver, asked him, "Boss, do you want to go back to Overtown or to Bakers Avenue?"
Link looked at the time, it was already nine o'clock in the evening, although it was not too late, but there was a house here, and there was no need to go back to Overtown, so he said, "Go to Bakers Avenue." β
It's just that he definitely didn't expect that he was already being targeted.
Royce Gusiret feels that he has not been living a human life lately.
His words were shot by a misfired pistol, and he was hospitalized for almost a month. When he was discharged from the hospital, he heard that Link had become a legend throughout Las Vegas and even in the United States. Every time he heard the news that Link had won, his mind twisted a point. He couldn't accept that. Why was he so badly injured and Link became a billionaire, or was he so glamorous in front of all Americans?
Every time he heard the news of seeing Link, he wanted to stomp Link's head into the mud, and he always fantasized about abusing Link in this way and that.
In fact, if you know what happened to him, you will definitely not think that he is psychopathic.
Even if it is cut with a scalpel, it may not be able to fully restore the function if you pick it up immediately. And he was smashed by a bullet, not to mention the situation to restore the function, and the connection had no chance to connect. Not to mention, the thing was only taken to the hospital two hours later, and the possibility of reconnecting it has long been lost.
The bullet not only interrupted his bane, but also directly penetrated the meat sac, and the two balls inside were each broken a little, although both balls were only a little rotten, but in fact the whole was useless and was removed. Can you imagine the pathetic feeling of a pervert suddenly not being able to even be a man? So, you have to admit it. It's normal for Royce to have hatred in his heart.
Then he couldn't tolerate Link being better than he was, especially being too much better. How could he possibly keep the psyche untwisted?
Now Link has turned his body clock back and is asleep by twelve o'clock.
Around three o'clock in the morning, Link was awakened by urine. He had just finished going to the toilet and turned off the lights when he heard an engine roar from behind him. His villa was soundproofed, but in the middle of the night, he still heard the sound of distant and near.
But as the sound grew louder and louder, it suddenly fell silent. It sounds like a nearby resident has gone home. He didn't notice.
It was only a little more than an hour before the sound of the engine sounded again, near and far, and finally it was never heard again. This is a very normal phenomenon on the streets of the United States, and there are many bikers in the United States.
He was about to go back to sleep. Moments later, there was a knock on his door, and the phone rang.
He saw a call from Jiang Ran Benjamin. And Benjamin should live under the same roof, why did he call him?
He jumped out of bed, ran to open the door, and sure enough, it was Benjamin who knocked on the door.
"What's the matter...... he asked, before he could finish speaking, there was a smell of smokeβthe smell of burning wood and paint. Don't?
Benjamin's words confirmed his suspicions: "Boss, someone set fire outside the door. We have to get out of here right away. β
Link immediately returned to his room to put on his wallet and phone, then quickly put on his clothes and rushed downstairs with Benjamin.
The other three bodyguards were already outside the door, each holding a dry sprinkler extinguishing the fire.
The fire burned outdoors, or rather, on the door of his house. The smell of burning has a strong smell of gasoline. By the time he got down to the first floor, the fire was almost gone.
He walked out to find out what was going on. But Benjamin stopped him and said, "Boss, I suggest you stay in the house." The fire outside is about to be extinguished. I'm worried that there's an ambush outside. He said, with an extra pistol in his hand.
