Chapter 753 $500 million worth of farms

……

"Liu, are you serious, do you really plan to buy this land?" Old Hart, who asked this question again, had a stern expression.

"Of course, isn't it?"

"It's not impossible, but for such a large-scale land transaction, I definitely can't rely on you alone, I will find a law firm and an investment management team, and let them be responsible for helping you buy land, after all, you are not familiar with the laws and regulations in Canada, especially Vancouver, especially the tax law. And there is an investment management team that can also help you get these lands at the lowest price, although it will cost some money, but it can protect your interests to the greatest extent!"

What Old Hart said was very pertinent, Liu Dong naturally heard it in his ears, and he also understood these truths, originally he planned to go to a lawyer and a professional agency responsible for investment and acquisition after the transaction with Old Hart was completed, but now it seems that if Old Hart's farm can be put into this collective acquisition to negotiate together, the price should be more favorable!

In fact, Liu Dong guessed correctly, after Liu Dong showed his bank deposit certificate and indicated that he intended to invest in Vancouver, the immigration bureau immediately applied for a permanent green card for him as soon as possible.

With a green card, there is naturally no obstacle to buying land, but because the land area acquired by Liu Dong at one time is too large, it will take a day or two to measure the specific measurement.

By the time Vancouver's land department counted the Molde Valley that Liu Dong was going to buy, as well as the hillside outside the Molde Valley, Liu Dong also got the detailed number he wanted. Including the area of water. That's a total of 521,800 acres. Considering that these are basically undeveloped wastelands, and the transportation is inconvenient, and there are even more than a dozen peaks with a height of about 200~300 meters, and the area is not small, and it is almost impossible to develop, so Liu Dong finally bought this land for 521.8 million Canadian dollars at a price of 1,000 Canadian dollars per acre.

If you count Liu Dong's purchase of the 6,500 acres of farm in the hands of Old Hart, the houses on the farm and some cattle and sheep, the cost of 78.9 million Canadian dollars!

So this land purchase operation. In total, Liu Dong spent about $600 million to buy 528,300 acres of mountain woodland.

More than 25% of the 528,300 acres of land belong to mountainous land, which is of no value at all unless it is for tourism development in the future, because the Vancouver government has been strict when the contract was signed, although these lands belong to Liu Dong's private own, but they must also comply with the laws of Canada and Columbia.

In addition to this 25% of the mountains. There is also about 7% of the water, minus the land occupied by the construction of houses and roads in the future. Only 65% of the land that can be used by Liu Dong for agricultural and animal husbandry production is 344,000 acres!

It sounds like a lot, but it's not a big deal in Canada, Australia, or even the United States, where million-acre farms are not uncommon. Hundreds of thousands of acres can only be considered a big farm!

However, the first time he took over a huge land comparable to Qingzhou County, Liu Dong, who was almost bought out of love, didn't know how to operate it at all.

Of course, he won't, but there are experienced people around him!

"Liu, why are you here?" Looking at Liu Dong who got off the big black horse, Old Hart asked in surprise, and then smiled, "It won't be coming over now to drive us out, right?"

"Hehe, Mr. Hart has misunderstood, even if you stay here for a long time, I can only welcome it!

Liu Dong's words made his intentions clear.

After nodding, Old Hart beckoned to Liu Dong, "Liu, come with me, I'm about to leave here, I'm really reluctant!"

Seeing the melancholy in Old Hart's eyes, it was not difficult for Liu Dong to understand this emotion in his heart, no matter who wanted to leave the place where he had lived all his life, he would be reluctant!

"Liu, in the words of you Chinese, you are really impressive, you bought such a large piece of land at a young age, as long as you manage it well in the future, you will live a very prosperous life!"

Although agriculture also has risks, but as the basis of all industries in society, although the operation of agriculture can not be rich and expensive, but it is definitely drought and flood to ensure income, as long as there are no natural and man-made disasters, basically there will be no possibility of losing money, just earn more and earn less.

After listening to Old Hart's words, Liu Dong nodded, he didn't want to make much money by running this farm, as long as he could pay back the 260 million Canadian dollars he now owes to the Vancouver government, as well as 5% annual interest.

After repaying the loan, this huge farm is completely in their own hands!

"Liu, it's not so simple to run a large farm, and the knowledge involved is even more complicated than running a company! First of all, you have to think about how to make your farm profitable? This is the core problem!"

Old Hart's words really stopped Liu Dong, although he is also from the countryside, but his parents are teachers, and he is not a local, so there is no ration field at all.

In addition, Liu Dong bought this farm completely out of whim, originally he thought that as long as it was the same as other farms, he would raise some cattle and sheep on the line, and when he grew up, he would slaughter them, but now it seems that this is not the case at all.

Seeing Liu Dong's humble look, Old Hart talked about sex even more.

"You see my farm, even though it's only 6,500 acres, it's not too big, but my bush farm is one of the best farms in Metro Vancouver, and you know why?"

"I don't know!" Liu Dong shook his head very dryly.

"In fact, it is very simple, diversify operations and develop ecological agriculture...... Take my farm, for example, 6,500 acres, of which 2,000 acres are Canadian high-quality wheat, 1,000 acres are soybeans, and the remaining 3,500 acres are pasture and a small amount of forest. And in these meadows and forests. I have about 400 Angus cattle. 300 cows, and 500 Boer goats, as well as 2,000 chickens, 20,000 pigs, and 4 horses!"

"I feed my pigs with soybeans and then use pig manure to fertilize the fields, so that my farm does not use chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and is completely 100% ecological and pollution-free. Such a product is very popular throughout Canada and even the world, and its price is 20% higher than the price of ordinary agricultural products!"

After listening, Liu Dong nodded, with the affluence of life, people's pursuit of food naturally tends to be healthier and safer, and it is inevitable that green food is popular.

But what really surprised him was that there were so many pigs on Old Hart's farm, didn't Westerners like to eat beef?

Seeing the confusion on Liu Dong's face, Old Hart seemed to have guessed what he wanted to say, and immediately smiled: "Hehe." In fact, most of the income on my farm is earned by raising pigs, which accounts for 70%!"

"So much?"

"Of course. And the risk of raising cattle is too high!"

This is true, although Liu Dong is in China, he has heard of the outbreak of mad cow disease in a large animal husbandry country in the West when he used to watch the news!

"How much money can you make from the farm in a year?" was Liu Dong's most curious question.

"Hehe, dry farming doesn't have the same chance of making windfall profits as running a commercial company, but it doesn't usually make you lose money! Take me for example, you can earn $30 million a year from a bush farm!"

"30 million?

According to the exchange rate of the Canadian dollar against the Chinese dollar, 30 million is nearly 200 million Chinese dollars, which is not an ordinary earning, and the few companies under his hands, except for Rose Jewelry, none of them can reach this level of annual profit.

"I'm talking about revenue of 30 million Canadian dollars, and there are costs in it! After the cost, the net profit is about 4 million Canadian dollars per year!"

Hearing this, Liu Dong nodded suddenly, this is about the same, if running a 6,500-acre farm can really make an annual profit of 30 million Canadian dollars, he even has the idea of continuing to invest in agriculture in Canada.

"But don't underestimate the $4 million, now you have bought 81 times the size of my farm, and if you can manage it as seriously as I do, you can make a profit of $300 million a year!"

"Mr. Hart, I can't think of 300 million Canadian dollars, I can exchange the money within the time limit set by the bank, and I can maintain the normal operation of the farm every year! Moreover, I still have more than 180,000 acres of my 520,000 acres of land that cannot be used, so even if I am as good as you, I can make 200 million Canadian dollars a year!"

"$200 million is a lot of money!"

"$200 million is a lot, but I'm a novice to the farm, and I don't have much time to stay here to take care of the farm, so $200 million a year is definitely no fun!" Liu Dong shook his head.

"Hehe, in fact, you don't have to worry, there are not many other experienced farmers in Canada, and there are more experienced farm workers, if you don't have time, you can spend money to hire someone to manage the farm for you, anyway, now the network is also convenient, you only need to call and network every two or three days or a week to understand the situation of the farm. You don't have to do it yourself!" said Old Hart laughed.

"Is that okay?" asked Liu Dong.

"Of course, isn't it the information age now, if I hadn't worked on the farm all my life and liked to take care of it myself, I would have found someone to take care of the farm for me!"

"Great, Mr. Hart, you have a lot of experience and know a lot of people here, can you introduce me to a few experienced farmworkers?" Liu Dong said immediately.

"Of course, no problem!" (to be continued......)
