Chapter 5, Island, Pasture
After that night, Tang Wen and Zhou Xiaoyu's hearts became a little closer. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info inadvertently glanced at the dinner table, which made the other three cry out that they couldn't stand it. Shouting and letting people not eat, is it okay to show affection and share the time......
Such protests were ignored on the spot.
The luxury broker of Yuntong Bank is very efficient, and it was only half a week after helping Nangong Caiwei set up a winery. Directly informed Tang Wen by e-mail that the islands and ranches were optimistic. There are three or four islands to choose from, and a little more pastures to five. However, Nangong Caiwei has no interest in participating in these things, and Tang Wen is solely proprietorship. No one can make a decision for him. He also had to go and see it on the ground.
"Are you taking leave to see the island and the ranch?" Wang Shan's voice was a little loud, but fortunately, the cafeteria was very noisy during meal time. Except for Ye Meng and Liu Yu next to it. The two men looked at him in surprise.
"Do you need to be so surprised?" Tang Wen looked left and right, glanced at her, and took advantage of her efforts to close her mouth, quickly picked up the lion's head on her plate, put it to her mouth and took a bite.
"Heh, Mosquito classmate, I'm going to steal Shanshan's meatballs from you. I don't believe you bought the island......" Liu Yu said with a smile.
"Haha, these are two different things. Tang Wen felt that today's lion head was very delicious.
"Speaking of which, I haven't seen the island yet?" Wang Shan propped her elbows on the dining table and gave Ye Meng a look.
Ye Meng's mentality in the face of Tang Wen has always been a little unbalanced, and the direct manifestation is to watch his relationship with Zhou Xiaoyu become more and more stable. The more I wanted to make trouble in front of him, especially after knowing that Tang Wen was in the second half of the summer vacation after the college entrance examination and saw him, the relationship he established with Zhou Xiaoyu. Her thoughts were even stronger. She herself couldn't figure out what the psychology was.
"Is your girlfriend going?"
"Uh, ahem. Tang Wen was choked and hurriedly took a sip of soup: "Go, she will go too." ”
"Oh. Ye Meng pursed her lips and said no more......
Asking for leave is now a difficult problem for Tang Wen. Wang Xuehua, the head teacher in the office, looked at him coldly, didn't say a word, and seemed to be planning to conquer him with his eyes! By the way, let him realize how unreliable his own request was.
In desperation, Tang Wen explained to her his overseas investment. In the end, I saw that he even took out his permanent green card in the United States. Wang Xuehua had no choice but to agree in surprise. As soon as Tang Wen left, he turned a little puzzled, thinking why he came to study archaeology, wouldn't it be better to study management?
The agent Dave and Nangong Caiwei were waiting for him and Zhou Xiaoyu in Xiangjiang, and flew from Xiangjiang to Fiji, where there are more than 330 islands in the Republic of Fiji, but they are only a little more than 800,000. I can't live in it, and I can't develop it. In fact, only 100 of the more than 300 islands are inhabited.
The island that was going to be sold was uninhabited and was three small islands together. The area is not large, and it belongs to the freehold property rights, which is rare in this country of Fiji.
Fiji, the second largest island known as the Heart of the Sea, is two hectares in size and is also looking to be developed, Dave Road said. The price is amazingly low, but it is only rented and not sold, and it is rented for a maximum of 99 years. Tang Wen looked at the photo and was moved, and gave up decisively.
The three islands are connected on the map, a bit like a check. Because it belongs to the southern periphery of the Fiji Islands, it is not suitable for a port, so it is still in a primitive state.
"Shall we go by boat?" Tang Wen asked, pointing to the map.
Dave nodded, even though it was very hot, he was wearing a shirt and trousers, and his voice was even more meticulous: "Of course, Mr. Tang." We take a boat to the neighborhood and you can choose an aerial camera to observe it, or a small helicopter to go up and see for yourself. ”
"Are you going to live on the island in the future?" Zhou Xiaoyu felt very novel.
Tang Wen glanced at her dissatisfied: "It's we who want to live on the island......"
Two of the three islands are presumably irregular round, and the other is elongated. The altitude is more than 60 meters, and the official evaluation is that the terrain is complex and it is not recommended to live. The area is the largest, almost more than three acres, and one acre is more than 4,000 square meters, that is, more than 13,000 square meters.
Zhou Xiaoyu was a little seasick, lying on the sofa of the yacht, and Nangong Caiwei accompanied her.
Tang Wen pointed to this long island and wondered: "It's not recommended to live, why did you add this island to me?"
"Oh. This," Dave explained, shaking his head with a rare look of embarrassment, "Have you ever heard of bundling?"
"Are you saying that this island is incidental..."Tang Wen was a little speechless.
"Yes, it's hard to say what the island can be used for. Dave's expression was also helpless.
The other two small circular islands are a bit of a characteristic, with a lot of green trees growing on the islands, many of which are wild coconut palms and plantain trees. These are commonplace.
The strange thing is that these two small islands, which are more than a kilometer long, can be walked across from the sea, because they each extend a few hundred meters into the sea with a white sand bank. Like two long tails butt together. There is a little wading in the middle of the sea, but the deepest depth is only a few tens of centimeters. Taller people can't get their beach shorts wet.
Dave had done his homework, and he pointed to the map and said, "The rest of the island has great beaches and beautiful waters. The altitude is also high enough. There are two places that are also great for diving, and a bay that can be used to build a marina. Both islands have a floor area of tens of thousands of square meters...... All three islands have fresh water, and there is also a hot spring on this rectangular island... The total price is more than 17 million..."
The rest of the island, one in the Caribbean, is a large, 64-acre island with well-equipped facilities, a holiday estate and two hotels...... However, there is no privacy, and there are two other private islands just half a nautical mile away, and the key is that the price is more than 56 million dollars.
In addition, there are many islands belonging to the United States and Canada to choose from, but the geographical location is not good. Many places can only be used for half a year, and the sea breeze blows in winter, and the weather is too cold. However, there are also advantages, that is, the area is large and the price is cheap. Some can be counted in square kilometers. The price is about the same as that of the islands of Fiji.
Tang Wen still likes the sun and the beach. In the end, it was decided to buy the three small islands of Fiji first and build them slowly. In any case, their price growth is much more stable than that of the US dollar.
As for pastures, Tang Wen feels that land in the United States is too cheap. The largest one is more than 100,000 acres, and the pasture is hundreds of square kilometers in size, with more than 300 million US dollars, and hundreds of oil wells! He can only secretly hate that there is not enough money. Turned his gaze to the north.
He also excluded ranches in several middle states of Kansas and Coloradora. Finally came to the north, Montana. It is directly bordered by Canada, with a large area of grassland, which is very suitable for grazing, and the main industry is animal husbandry, which is typically sparsely populated. The scenery is also very good, with several national forest parks and nature reserves.
The last place I like is near Pingshi Lake. The area is also very large, and the farmer is an old German man who is very stubborn. It had not been sold for several years because more than 10,000 acres of the ranch's more than 54,000 acres were private hunting grounds and a small lake where breeding was prohibited. There is also a small coniferous mountainous area. Only a little over 30,000 acres of pasture can actually be used for animal husbandry.
The old man stubbornly refused to split, and did not reduce the price, and in the first two years, he also required that someone who knew the ranch must buy it, which means that he must pass his assessment to buy. Of course, no buyer was found...... And then dragged it to the present.
Tang Wen didn't mind the thousands of acres of worthless water on private hunting grounds and lakes. In the end, I bought it for 50 million US dollars. Originally, the old man's asking price was 54 million, but Dave grinded with him for two weeks with the help of Nangong Caiwei, and promised to pay the full amount. In the end, the seventy-eight-year-old man felt that he could not afford to wait. I agreed.
At this time, Tang Wen was already in China, so he had to fly over to sign a contract again. handed over the pasture without a single cow and sheep to Nangong Caiwei, who had a black face, and Hathaway, who rushed to help. It has been decided to start full-scale operations by next spring.
When he signed, the former farmer looked at Tang Wen and seemed to be quite pleasing to the eye, and he was happy to pay. He decided to give him another woodland house in Wasila, Alaska.
Dave looked at twenty acres of land and a hundred-square-meter cabin, which was worth about $200,000. This is nothing compared to the 50 million he paid. I just accepted it as a surprise.
The old man had taken all his collection and possessions with him, and was said to be moving south to live, and had already bought a manor in California. A truck with more than a dozen pairs of wheels was hired to help him move. left Tang Wen with a pasture where nothing was left except farm tools and houses.
Three days before New Year's Day, Tang Wen returned to Mingzhu. Because Bai Qing's magical pet shop is scheduled to open on New Year's Day, but she doesn't have a cat ready to sell......
