Chapter 157: Jones Ranch
Bow and thank you for the generous reward of "No殇〆╰☆ぷ" ← of the night!
The dinner was very rich, and it was clear that both Mrs. Bell and Mr. Bell were very welcoming to Tang's arrival. After all, Tang Feng's identity had already been told to her parents by Sophia, and as Sophia's parents, she did not deny that her daughter could fall in love with a mine owner.
After all, Tang Feng's net worth is there, and his net worth of tens of millions of dollars is enough to make his daughter's life very comfortable. And Americans all know that Chinese people in the United States are more dedicated, and there are few extramarital affairs, so if the daughter can really combine with this young man, it is also a good thing for the daughter.
In addition, when I looked at Tang Feng's appearance and figure today, they all belonged to that very good ranks, so Mrs. Bell came up with the means of entertaining her son-in-law to entertain Tang Feng.
The main course is naturally stewed pork chops and Texas barbecue, I have to say that Mrs. Bell's craftsmanship is really very good, these two main dishes are full of color, flavor and shape, but compared to some top chefs, they are definitely not inferior.
In addition to these two main dishes, there are also some other dishes, all of which are local traditional dishes, which makes Tang Feng, a foodie, very happy.
"Mr. Bell, after coming here today, Sophia accompanied me around the area, and then I found that I already liked this place, so I was going to buy a ranch or farm around here, I wonder if you know if there is a farm or ranch for sale in this area?"
As soon as he heard Tang Feng ask, the old cowboy immediately became interested and asked, "What, you really want to buy land in Lakeview?" ”
Tang Feng nodded and said, "Mr. Bell, you know that I am a Chinese, my parents and my sister are still in Huaxia, and I want to bring them to the United States." But in order to do that, I have to have a place to stay in the United States. It's a nice place, and I still have some money to spare, so I'm ready to settle down here. ”
Sophia asked a little puzzled, "Feng, didn't you just discover a mine in Australia?" Aren't you going to live in Australia permanently? ”
Tang Feng shook his head and said: "That place in Australia did not leave a very good impression on me, first I encountered the most dangerous thing in my life there, and I almost lost my life there. Immediately after that, there was something wrong with the mine I had just discovered, and the Australian mining colleagues seemed to be unwilling to let the mine fall into the hands of a foreigner, so they used all kinds of despicable and shameless methods to prepare to seize my mine, so I was already full of disgust for that country. ”
Tang Feng hadn't mentioned this matter to Sophia on the phone before, so when Sophia heard these words, she covered her mouth in surprise, and asked worriedly for a long time: "Then your mine is okay, right?" ”
Mr. Bell also shook his head and said: "That country is a wild land, and the people there are barbarians!" ”
Tang Feng smiled and said: "Now I still take the initiative, my partner and I have pulled up a huge team of one hundred and twenty lawyers, and now we are preparing to fight a lawsuit with those barbarians, and my team of lawyers is also preparing to sue the government of that barbarian country!" ”
Although Mr. Bell is in his fifties, but the character of that kind of cowboy is still the same as it was back then, when he heard Tang Feng's words, he clapped his hands excitedly and said: "You have to do this to deal with those barbarians, only if you are afraid of them, they don't dare to stretch out their hands again!" ”
Mrs. Bell asked, "Don, since you are ready to settle in the United States, even if you win the lawsuit, what will you do with that mine?" Moreover, since your mine should be of great value if it can arouse the covetousness of those barbarians, would you be willing to give up it? "Women, especially older women, seem to have a special penchant for money, and Mrs. Bell is obviously no exception. The lawsuits and anything didn't appeal to her, until the mine of Sophia's boyfriend caught the attention of Mrs. Bell, who, though the wife of an ordinary rancher, was also Sophia's mother, and of course hoped that her daughter would be better.
Regarding Mrs. Bell's inquiry, Tang Feng didn't want to hide it, and said with a smile: "Even if the lawsuit is won, I am ready to sell that mine." If things are good, the mine could sell for about $1.5 billion to $2 billion! ”
After this number came out of Tang Feng's mouth, there was a sudden silence on the table, and no one, including Sophia, thought that the mine would be worth so much money.
Tang Feng broke the silence with a smile and said: "Money is only one aspect, since I don't want to be in Australia anymore, it is also a very good choice to return to the United States to invest, after all, the center of the world is still in this country." ”
After a short period of consternation, Sophia smiled and scooped a piece of pork chop for Tang Feng, after all, her boyfriend's net worth has increased greatly, and of course she, who is a girlfriend, will be happy for Tang Feng.
The atmosphere at the table suddenly improved. The old cowboy picked up his glass and touched it with Tang Feng and drank the red wine in the glass, and said, "There are indeed several ranches and farms for sale near Lakeview right now. In the past two years, the livestock industry in the United States has been sluggish, and due to the impact of falling international food prices, many farmers are no longer ready to grow food, so as far as I know, there are now no less than 100 farms and ranches ready to be put up for sale in Texas alone. In Lakeview, at least three ranches and two farms are now on the market for sale! ”
Tang Feng picked up a piece of steak with a fork, put it in his mouth and chewed it for a while, and after swallowing it, he said, "So Mr. Bell, is there a pasture or farm with a relatively large area?" I want to buy a large area, maybe in another half a month or a month, my funds will be in place, and at that time, money will definitely not be a problem! ”
The old cowboy groaned for a moment, and said, "Don, to the west of Lakeview, across the Neckis River, there really is such a ranch ready for sale, but this ranch does not belong to Lakeview, but to Lamberton. It's a huge ranch, over 3,000 acres, and it used to be an oil production area, and now there are 21 wells in it that are basically out of production, and you know, the whole of Beaumont was an oil field more than a hundred years ago. Later, the oil fields near Beaumont were largely exhausted, so the wells were abandoned. The ranch was later purchased by Mr. Jones of Lambberton, and after decades of renovation, it has now become one of the most famous ranches of this generation, known as 'Jones Ranch' by the people around it. Unfortunately, at the end of last year, Mr. Jones died of illness, and his three sons are now in a lawsuit to divide the family property, and this $25 million ranch was put up for sale! ”
