Chapter 250: Thank You, Goodbye!
With the exception of Willie, this weekend was enjoyable for all the guests who came to the Blackstone Bar. Not only did they get to know the mysterious Chinese kung fu, but some people also invited them to drink. When the bar owner sent the bill to Xiao Ping, he didn't hesitate to write a check, which made the bar owner's face full of smiles.
Although more people than usual were detained for drunk driving that night, Xiao Ping's good name had spread through the town. Many people swore that the newcomer Kung Fu Xiao was a good person, and if anyone was quietly saying bad things about Xiao Ping, they would stand up and speak up for Kung Fu Xiao. Some of the unemployed cowboys want to try their luck at Lillian's Ranch to see if they can get a job - since Xiao Ping has such a good reputation, he must be a good boss.
Old John never thought that the plan that he wanted to teach the Chinese a lesson not only helped Xiao Ping establish his prestige, but also allowed him to quickly mingle with the residents of Wharton Town, and won a very good reputation in the town.
In Jessica's eyes, Xiao Ping's image has become taller and taller. On the way back to the ranch that night, the American chick looked at Xiao Ping with affection all the way, so much so that he once thought that he would catch up with the fashion and make a car shock with Jessica in the wilderness.
However, although the tenderness in Jessica's eyes was so thick that it was about to overflow, she finally controlled her emotions well and obediently went back to her room to rest, which made Xiao Pingkong happy again.
Although Xiao Ping was a little disappointed, he still got up early the next day and inspected the ranch that already belonged to him, accompanied by Jessica. Lillian's Ranch is right on the Wharton River. The creek is a tributary of the Red River, the main major river in Texas. The Wharton River flows gently and has an abundance of water all year round, bringing many benefits to the pastures on both banks. So in the vicinity of Wharton, the most expensive pastures are on both sides of the Wharton River.
Xiao Ping and Jessica strolled along the Wharton River, listening to Jessica's introduction to the ranch while admiring the surrounding scenery. Looking at the endless meadow and the cattle and sheep roaming on the meadow, Xiao Ping was also full of joy. Don't look in Texas. Lilian Ranch can only be regarded as a small ranch, but in Xiao Ping's eyes, it is already very large. After all, one acre is equal to more than six acres of land, and 300 acres is a full 1,800 acres of land! The total area of Xianhu farms in China is less than 200 acres. It's so much worse than the ranch.
What satisfies Xiao Ping the most is that this land is completely his own. This also gave Xiao Ping the idea of planning and building this ranch well, and he even planned to build this place better than Xianhu Farm. After all, as long as Xiao Ping is unwilling. No one can let him leave here, which also allows him to have no worries when building the ranch.
Jessica didn't know what Xiao Ping was thinking, and was still introducing the situation of the ranch to him: "We still have a hundred cows and one hundred and fifty goats, in fact, with the size of the ranch, we should be able to raise more livestock, if you want, I will ask Mark to accompany you to the market in Vincent City in a few days to have a look, and select some cattle and sheep to come back." ”
"Okay, I'm fine. Xiao Ping casually agreed to Jessica's suggestion, but his eyes fell on the large area outside the ranch fence. It was a vast expanse of grassland. It stretches all the way down to the mountains in the distance. What made Xiao Ping a little strange was that there was not even a single livestock in such a large area of land, but tall weeds growing there. It's a bit strange that there is such a situation in Texas, which is full of pastures.
Jessica saw that Xiao Ping didn't seem to be enthusiastic about his proposal, and thought that the money he brought was not enough. So he said very boldly: "The money you bought the farm is still hundreds of thousands of dollars, and I originally planned to give my father a pension." But if you need it, I can lend it to you!"
"Borrow money, don't need it!" This time Xiao Ping came back to his senses, smiled confidently at Jessica, and said, "Don't worry about money, I brought enough funds." ”
Since Xiao Ping said so, Jessica naturally would not be reluctant. No more mention of lending him money. Xiao Ping looked thoughtfully at the land outside the fence, and asked Jessica with interest: "Is the land in front of you all ownerless?
Jessica was of course well aware of the situation next door to her ranch, and immediately replied, "That's the Jammie Foundation land, they bought it years ago, but it has never been developed, and it has been abandoned until now." ”
Xiao Ping sighed: "The area is not small!"
Jessica nodded, "It's two thousand five hundred acres in total, stretching down to the Stone Mountains, which is bigger than our largest ranch in Wharton County." ”
Xiao Ping asked with great interest: "What kind of use does the Jami Foundation want to use when it buys this land, but it's just to raise weeds, right?"
Jessica used to be a reporter, so naturally she also had some sources, such as telling Xiao Ping: "Originally, it was rumored that an oil field was discovered along the Wharton River, so the Jammie Foundation bought this land first." But it was later confirmed that the oil field was a rumor, so the land was shelved. It is said that the Jamie Foundation has been looking for a buyer, but their offer is too high, so it has not been able to sell. ”
The more Jessica said Xiao Ping, the more moved she became, touching her chin and asking, "You say...... Shall I buy this land as well?"
"Buy this land?" Jessica was taken aback by Xiao Ping's words, stared at him and asked, "Do you know how much the Jamie Foundation is offering, and you can come up with that much money?"
Xiao Ping smiled modestly: "Business has been going relatively well recently, and I can still come up with some money." ”
In fact, Xiao Ping came to the United States this time with almost all the cash. In addition to the $30 million that Lin Zukang bought rosewood, he also exchanged all the income he had saved before for US dollars, totaling more than $37 million. Hearing that this piece of land belonging to the Jami Foundation is 2,500 acres, Xiao Ping felt that if he negotiated the price, he should be able to buy this land.
Looking at Xiao Ping, who had a flat expression, Jessica also felt a little emotion in her heart. She still knows Xiao Ping's experience quite well, and she knows that he has officially devoted himself to agricultural production for less than a year, and he actually has such abundant funds, which is really impressive. Jessica is very optimistic about Xiao Ping's ability in agriculture, since he intends to buy this land, Jessica is naturally very supportive, and immediately said loudly: "Okay, since you have decided, then I will help you contact the Jami Foundation!"
The residents of Wharton are no strangers to the Jami Foundation, which caused quite a stir in the town when it bought the land adjacent to Lillian's ranch a few years ago. At that time, the managers of the Foundation believed that they would soon be able to sell the land to the deep-pocketed oil companies for a good buck. However, the bad news soon came, and the news of the alleged discovery of oil fields on both sides of the Wharton River was confirmed to be false. As a result, the land that used to be a high-quality asset of the Foundation has now become a junk asset that managers are eager to get rid of.
However, at the time, the Foundation was eager to buy the land from a few ranchers, but made an offer that was much higher than the market price. The Foundation wanted to make a small profit on the land, but the result was that no one could accept the price they offered, and the land remained deserted.
The land had been a problem for the Foundation's senior managers for several years, and they even dreamed of selling it. After years of waiting, their demands weren't that high, and even if they could only make $100,000 on this deal, it would be enough to satisfy everyone.
So when Wekitt, the foundation's senior manager, received a call from Jessica claiming that someone was interested in the land, he rushed to Wharton with two assistants on the nearest flight from New York, where he met with the potential buyer at his house on Lillian's farm.
When Wekitt learned that Xiao Ping was Chinese, the smile on his face became clearer. The whole world knows that the Chinese have money, and even the United States has borrowed money from them. As a fund manager, Wakitt certainly knows that there are many Chinese who are keen to buy property in the United States, and it is reasonable that this Chinese named Xiao Ping is interested in that land.
After the greetings, the two sides got to the point, and Wakitt first showed Xiao Ping the land certificate, saying that the Jami Foundation was indeed the owner of the land, and then introduced the land endlessly.
Wakitt can be a senior manager of the Foundation, and his eloquence is not covered. This has been said for a long time, in short, it is to tell Xiao Ping how good and fertile the soil is, whether it is a pasture or a farm. And it's leaning against the Wharton River, so it's easy to water...... And so on and so forth. In short, if Xiao Ping missed such a good opportunity and didn't buy that piece of land, he would definitely spend the rest of his life in endless regret!
In fact, Xiao Ping has already seen the soil quality of that land, although it is not as exaggerated as Waget said, but it is really good, whether it is planting or grazing. However, as a buyer, Xiao Ping could not show that he was very interested in the land. After Wekitt finished speaking, he asked casually, "Mr. Wekitt, I just want to know how much this land will sell for?"
Wakitt did not hesitate, and said with a very generous look: "Mr. Xiao, if you can get 34.8 million US dollars, these 2,500 acres of land will be yours!"
Your support is my biggest motivation. )
