Christina has been following Xixi crazy early in the morning, or it can be said that she was pulled by Xixi to go crazy together; Zhang Hao could clearly feel that after a night of getting along, Xixi was closer to Christina. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Zhang Hao thinks this is very good, he is very happy to see such a scene happen.

I also have to admit that Christina and Xixi can get along very well, which is also an extremely important factor in maintaining this relationship.

Zhang Hao received a phone call and went out.

Because Zhang Hao was given an opportunity to expand his ranch, his next-door neighbor had the intention of selling the farm.

Zhang Hao is carefully calculating, the area of eighty acres, this is really a lot; This is nearly 500 acres of land, which is more than two larger than Zhang Hao's pasture. If this land is taken, Zhang Hao's ranch will also exceed 100 acres, which can barely step into the area of a medium-sized ranch, although it is only an entry-level level.

As for the price, it is quite tangled, and the quotations have reached 1.35 million US dollars, which is simply killing people!

Zhang Hao drove to Philip's house, chatted briefly, and began serious communication.

"I don't think that's an acceptable price, and if it's a million dollars, I'll sign a contract with you right away."

Philip shook his head directly and said, "I won't promise to sell the farm for a million dollars, I don't have much financial pressure right now." You know what I mean, I don't have to sell land to make a living. I needed a satisfactory price, a million dollars was too little. ”

Haggling is a matter of course, Zhang Hao continued: "You know, this is a farm, not a ranch. So if I buy it, I need to remodel, which will be a big expense. I wouldn't pay too much for it, it's far more than the market price. ”

Philip shrugged his shoulders with some regret, he would definitely not agree to such a price; The price of a million dollars is not a loss, but it is certain that it does not make any money, so it is really not worth it.

In fact, Philip is also a little cautious, that is, naturally slaughtering this young man; If he had more than a million dollars, he could have bought a small ranch elsewhere or just started enjoying life.

The negotiations did not continue, and Zhang Hao could only leave depressed; This is to be expected, because everyone is thinking about their own interests.

Driving on the road, Zhang Hao made a call to Anderson; The next-door neighbor had also been to Anderson's party before. This time I contacted Philip, and there was also a reason why Anderson threaded the needle.

"It failed, and we couldn't agree on a price. You know, I don't want to shell out a lot of money, but he wants to make as much money as he can. ”

Anderson on the other end of the line was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "I know he won't want to sell the farm at a low price, because he should be in a good financial position." Hao, I have a proposal, but it's a bit difficult. ”

Hearing the song and knowing the elegant meaning, Zhang Hao immediately spoke, "Dude, tell me your plan B." I know it's not an easy thing to do, but if we all put in the effort, it will definitely pay off. ”

Anderson then spoke, "Remember Mr. Gibson?" He had a small farm, but his children never wanted to come back. You know that Mr. Philip has no strong intention of selling the land, but I believe Gibson does. His farm wasn't big enough, but I knew there was a piece of land next to his ranch that was about to be listed. ”

Zhang Hao suddenly understood, one plus one equals two!

Gibson's farm doesn't matter if it's not big enough, but a farm connected to Gibson's farm is also interested in selling; That's easy, if two small farms are taken together, then the area is not small.

Perhaps Anderson knew from the beginning that Philip had no strong intention of selling the farm, and that it was just a bait; And the real killer move is actually Gibson's farm.

Back at home, Zhang Hao briefly told his parents about the acquisition; This matter is not in a hurry, this is a big business, so it is natural to talk about it very seriously, and the details must be considered clearly.

After lunch, Zhang Hao set off again; He made an appointment with Anderson to go to Gibson's house together.

"If you can get them to buy me the ranch, I'm willing to give you $10,000 for the consultation. Trust me, the moment you sign the contract, you'll be able to get the check. ”

Anderson, who was driving, didn't feel embarrassed, he was working so hard to help Zhang Hao thread the needle, wasn't it for these benefits. The relationship between him and Zhang Hao was originally just an ordinary neighbor, and even if they were close friends, they should be clearly distinguished in business.

"That's not a small number, and I think I'll try to convince them to sell you the land. Hao, can you tell me the price floor? ”

Zhang Hao thought about it for a while, and still said: "Market price, I am willing to take their land at the market price." ”

Anderson immediately shook his head and said, "You might need to add a little price, you know, Mr. Gibson doesn't have that strong intention of selling the land." You need to show some sincerity so that we can guarantee success. ”

The two of them were also arguing in the car, constantly bargaining.

When he arrived at Gibson's farm, Zhang Hao began a serious investigation; Although he didn't know much about the land, he could see a little bit about the general situation. I also went to see the land connected to the Gibson family's farm, and I felt quite satisfied.

Now it depends on Gibson's meaning, the farm next door is about to be listed, and the market price is basically no problem; But Gibson is different, his farm can be sold or not, and if it is not higher than a little market price, he will definitely not be born.

It is also because Gibson can see that Zhang Hao wants to expand the area of the ranch, which is a very good opportunity, because Longbow Ranch needs to pass through his land if it wants to expand externally.

Negotiating with Gibson and them, taking Christina to ride horses, fishing, playing games and rowing with Xixi, the small life is still very nourishing.

The acquisition of land is also progressing relatively smoothly.

The approximate price is negotiated, and now it's time for all kinds of inspections; Check the property rights of the land, check the quality of the soil. It all takes time, and it also requires a lot of professionalism.

Zhang Hao was looking forward to it, although he was busy for a week, but when he saw the inspection report, he looked forward to it.

The two small farms add up to ninety-four acres, and if they are successfully acquired, Longbow Ranch will be more than a hundred acres, which is more than seven hundred and fifty acres!

The price is also quite expensive, and the two small farms together will make Zhang Hao pay 1.4 million US dollars for it, and take out more than half of the money in Zhang Hao's bank account, but the money is spent willingly.

Although Christina had gone back to work, Zhang Hao still sent her an email; Although there is a lawyer drafting the contract for this acquisition, my girlfriend is an assistant lawyer, so I should respect my girlfriend's profession anyway.

Christina soon called and told Zhang Hao that there was no problem with the contract and that he could sign it directly.

Sign, sign immediately; It's a little exciting to think that my ranch is about to reach more than 100 acres.

After successfully connecting small pieces of land together, Zhang Hao also formed a medium-sized ranch that was not too big or small.

Although the two small farms still need to undergo some transformation before they can become ranches, it doesn't matter; With the land as a carrier, then what is there to worry about!

A lot of money was spent, but Zhang Hao was extremely happy; Because his ranch is on a path of rapid development, because this is a great opportunity.

Greg, an old cowboy, is very satisfied with the expansion of the ranch and thinks that the opportunity for the owner to buy the land is also great.

"Boss, you're a great deal. I know you'll leave some land for horse farms, but for other places we'll grow pasture. It's autumn now, but we can use this time to plough the grass and grow in the spring. ”

Zhang Hao said a little shyly: "This is indeed a very good node, the only pity is that it will take another year or two for these pastures to fully mature." But that's okay, we're starting to move towards a large ranch and can't get in. ”

Seeing that the boss was very happy, Greg also spoke directly, "Boss, since the ranch is going to be expanded, the next work will be doubled." I think we might need to hire a cowboy. ”

Zhang Hao nodded, he knew that there was a bit of Greg wanting to be lazy, but it was also the actual situation, "Okay, do you have any recommendations?" ”

Glancing at Zhang Hao, Greg asked tentatively, "How is my son Stan?" Although he is now working odd jobs, he is no stranger to working on ranches. ”

Well, Zhang Hao understood what Greg meant; It's okay to think about it, this old guy Greg is actually quite reliable.

But there are some things that still need to be clear, "Well, it would be nice if he wanted to come to the ranch." I'll give him four hundred and fifty dollars a week, some increases, long-term contracts. But he had to prove that he could stay here. ”

Greg immediately patted his chest in reassurance.

In fact, it's the same all over the world, pity the hearts of parents all over the world.

Don't look at Greg's son is not close to him, but Greg will still do his best to take care of his son, even if his son has already started a family, married and had children.

As for saying that the children over there will be independent when they become adults, and the children will earn their own college tuition when they are eighteen years old, just listen to it, don't believe it!
