Chapter 203: The Bald "Big Head"
The owner of the land, York, also came, and it could be seen that the other party was full of sincerity, Wang Xudong happily shook hands with York, and with the help of the translator, everyone exchanged a few words, and then got on the helicopter and headed towards the destination. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
From here to the destination, hundreds of kilometers away, the helicopter flew for more than an hour, the helicopter flew in the Western Australian mainland, Wang Xudong once again appreciated the vastness and desolation of the Western Australian mainland.
In China, where can you see such a scene, on the helicopter, as far as the eye can see, it is all a vast smoke-free land, all boundless desert, and it is basically difficult to see people.
This boundless desert is different from other places, because the main color is red or brownish-red, between which there are occasional sparse shrubs, and as for the pasture, Wang Xudong only sees a small pasture along the way.
The ranch was next to a road, with only two or three houses, and besides, there were basically no people on it.
It's desolate.
More than an hour later, the helicopter arrived at its destination, and White said, "Mr. Wang, we have reached our destination, you see." ”
Wang Xudong vaguely saw a boundary mark, of course, he also saw a highway, it seems to be an asphalt road in good condition, Wang Xudong said in his heart, it seems that the traffic situation here is okay.
York advised: "Gentlemen, should we take a helicopter tour of the land first, or should we go to the ranch for a coffee and a little rest." ”
Wang Xudong has seen the information of this land, the area is more than 1,500 square kilometers, most of the place is a desolate desert, only a small area is suitable for the growth of pasture, there is a small pasture, the York family mainly operates this pasture on this land.
Although York did not say why he wanted to sell this land, Wang Xudong could guess something, it is estimated that York is old and does not want to take care of the ranch, and wants to transfer the ranch together with this land, and use the money to spend his old age in the city.
Wang Xudong said: "It's still early, let's take a helicopter tour of this land first, and at noon, we will go to Mr. York's ranch as a guest." ”
York said cheerfully: "No problem, then let's visit this land first." ”
The helicopter flew above this land, at an altitude of about several hundred meters, and Wang Xudong saw that this land was no different from other places, the same desolation and vastness, full of red or brownish deserts, with some shrubs growing here and there, and not even patches of woods.
Wang Xudong smiled and said, "Mr. York, your land is really desolate. ”
York argued, "Dear King, the land, though desolate, is large enough, and there is a small pasture, which is generally good. ”
When he said this, York felt that he was a little lacking in confidence, the biggest selling point of this piece of land is estimated to be the large area, and there is a small pasture, as for whether there are rich mineral resources, this point was ignored by York, and it is estimated that it has never been explored.
On the helicopter, condescending and with a wide field of vision, Wang Xudong saw that there seemed to be a mountain in the distance, the mountain was not high, but it was very large.
This mountain is there, in stark contrast to the flat and vast area around it, Wang Xudong immediately said: "There is another mountain over there, let's go over and take a look." ”
York said proudly: "That's York Peak, named after me, it's the largest mountain in this land. ”
It is indeed the largest mountain, the height of the Jedi is not high, it is not high, it can only be regarded as very large, the height from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain is definitely not more than two hundred meters, but it is very large, larger than Doujia Mountain, covering an estimated area of several square kilometers.
The helicopter flew over, and Wang Xudong saw very clearly that the mountain was very strange, there were some low shrubs at the foot of the mountain and on the mountainside, but there was no grass at the top of the mountain, there was no shrub, and it looked like a bald head.
It's weird!
When Wang Xudong saw such a mountain, he felt so strange, why didn't there be any grass on the top of the mountain, was there anything weird.
Song Qingsong looked puzzled, obviously also saw the difference of this mountain, but Mr. York, who seemed to be surprised, introduced: "This mountain did not have a name before, I gave him a name, named it after me, called York Mountain, of course, if Mr. Wang bought this land, you can also change the name of this mountain." ”
It doesn't matter what the name is, Wang Xudong is concerned about why there is no grass on the top of the mountain, it looks like a bald head, Wang Xudong asked: "Mr. York, why is there no shrub at the top of this mountain, bare, has it always been like this, or have you cut down all the shrubs on the top of the mountain?" ”
"No," York explained, "I don't have the time to cut down the bushes at the top of the hill, which has always been like this, since my father owned the land. ”
That's weird.
Wang Xudong looked at it carefully, very carefully, except for the bare, this top of the mountain did not see any clues, if there was anything different, that is, the color was a little darker, almost the color of hematite.
Wang Xudong even had the urge to start the "god-level big miner" system, and wanted to use the system to scan it to see what the hell was going on and why it was happening.
But there are a lot of people on the helicopter, and Wang Xudong is still the focus of everyone, because Wang Xudong is the buyer, everyone talks to Wang Xudong from time to time, and it is not appropriate to start the "god-level big mine owner" system at this time, Wang Xudong can only bury this incomprehension and doubts in his heart.
After looking at the mountain, Wang Xudong saw that not far from the mountain, there was a railway, which was a heavy-haul railway.
At this time, White pointed to the road and introduced: "Mr. Wang, this is the heavy-haul railway mentioned in the information, which passes through this land and leads to the port of Dampier more than 200 kilometers away, and every day, many trains full of ore pass through this railway. ”
Wang Xudong nodded with satisfaction, this is also the reason why Wang Xudong takes a fancy to this land, if there is no such a railway, Wang Xudong is not expected to be interested in this land.
The area of this land is very large, even if there is a helicopter, it is not a moment and a half to see it, and after a rough look, Wang Xudong has a rough first impression.
After all, the area of more than 1,500 square kilometers is much larger than that of a Hong Kong Island, and the land is also very vast and flat, almost endless.
But like the rest of WA, it's a desolate, predominantly desert with occasional sparse, low, drought-tolerant bush.
Near noon, the helicopter flew over York's pasture, from the helicopter, the area of this ranch is not large, and the pasture is not lush, Wang Xudong has little interest in this ranch, so he did not ask to take a closer look.
The helicopter landed at the ranch and parked in front of several houses, which were York's home, and as the host, York warmly invited everyone to visit the house.
Presumably knowing that a distinguished guest was coming, Mrs. York had been busy for a long time, and had already prepared a lot of delicacies, and the coffee had already been brewed.
On the lawn in front of the house, a huge parasol was erected, a round table, a few chairs, and the garden table was full of all kinds of fruits.
At this moment, it seems to be completely relaxed, in the distance, a gust of breeze blows, it feels very comfortable, in Wujiang City, it is already a cold winter, and here, even with a little heat, the breeze blows, I feel very comfortable.
White is the intermediary this time, and if this business is successful, there will be a lot of commission, after all, more than 20 million Australian dollars is a big business.
White said, "Mr. Wang, how is this land?"
Wang Xudong knew that the topic was coming, Wang Xudong nodded and said: "The land area is very large, but it is a little desolate, a drought, and the development and utilization value is very low." ”
York said beside him: "Dear Wang, it is true that the climate here is arid, but the groundwater resources are relatively abundant, and you see that my pasture mainly relies on groundwater for irrigation. ”
There are relatively abundant groundwater resources, which can be regarded as a good thing, but Wang Xudong also knows that in order to drill groundwater, this well must be drilled to a certain depth, and it is not possible to produce water all at once.
When it comes to the transfer of land, it is natural that the seller asks for a sky-high price, and the buyer sits on the land to pay back, and bargaining on the price is always the focus.
Wang Xudong pointed out the shortcomings of this land, and as a seller, York cited various advantages of this land, such as the relatively rich groundwater resources just mentioned.
Wang Xudong said: "Mr. York, with all due respect, the scale of your ranch is too small, and it is estimated that it is almost impossible to earn back my investment by operating such a ranch. ”
Yes, the price of this land in York is more than 20 million Australian dollars, such a high price, it is basically difficult to sell, York has a flash of inspiration in his head, and suggested: "Mr. Wang, you are a mine, and your demand for iron ore in China has increased sharply in recent years, you can open an iron mine in this land, so that you can quickly recover your investment." ”
Wang Xudong really wanted to open an iron ore building, and Wang Xudong said with a smile: "Mr. York, does your land have rich iron ore reserves? ”
York scratched his head awkwardly and said embarrassedly: "To be honest, this land has not been explored for mineral resources, and I don't know if there are rich iron ore reserves, but the whole Western Australia is full of iron ore, and maybe there is also rich iron ore here." ”
Wang Xudong smiled again, "Mr. York, this is a bottomless matter, what if there is no iron ore here." ”
The two sides bargained until noon, when Mrs. York was shouting that the meal was open, and the two sides did not reach an agreement, and there was still a certain gap between the two sides.
