Chen Dong nodded and said, "Yes, the gold coin farm is the farm I run, in 2001, I spent 5.98 million US dollars to buy this farm, and with three restaurants, this is the foundation of my business in the United States, after buying the farm, I gave up planting soybeans, wheat, corn, mustard and other cash crops that are commonly grown on American farms.

I spent a huge amount of money to transform the farm according to my vision, planning 17,000 acres of vegetable gardens, planting vegetables, 4,000 acres of orchards, planting fruit trees, 3,000 acres of pasture, and 500 acres of pasture area, initially raising 800 Angus cattle, and later, I merged several nearby farms, increasing the area of the gold coin farm to more than 40,000 acres, becoming the largest farm in New York State, not counting income, the gold coin farm cost me a total of more than 70 million dollars. ”
The villagers next to him who hadn't gone back yet, Wu listened carefully to what Chen Dong said.
Mayor Wu silently calculated in his mind, 1 US dollar for 8.3 yuan, 30 million US dollars is 250 million, more than 30 million US dollars, nearly 300 million.
Before, the reason why Mayor Wu knew Chen Dong was because Chen Dong appeared in the news broadcast for 2 minutes when he signed the island exchange treaty with the US government, and the media reported that Chen Dong was from Sanjiang, Mayor Wu paid attention to it, Chen Dong drove back to his hometown in a luxury car, passed through Xintian Town, and it happened that one of the staff members in Mayor Wu's inspection party was Chen Dong's former classmate, and he recognized Chen Dong, and Mayor Wu knew that Chen Dong had returned to his hometown after signing the island exchange treaty with the US government.
After Mayor Wu inspected Xintian Town, he came to Taoyuan Township and gave Chen Dong a special opinion.
Chen Dong asked his uncle and father to go back to prepare lunch first, and invited Mayor Wu and his party to eat at home at noon.
Mayor Wu walked in front and whispered a few words to the secretary and asked him to collect Chen Dong's information.
The secretary's name is Liu Ming, a high-achieving student who graduated from a prestigious university, and is already the mayor's secretary before he is 30 years old.
Liu Ming nodded, deliberately a few steps behind the group, took out the phone and made a call, and called his former college classmates.
"What instructions do the mayor's secretaries?" On the phone, a hearty voice said.
Liu Ming said, "Brother Tao, don't fill me, I am a hard worker, in front of the mayor, how can I compare to you, working in a foreign top 500 company, with a high salary, and an easy job." Speaking of this, the voice paused, and continued, "This time, I asked you for a favor to help me collect Chen Dong's information, you used to work in the United States, and you were recently transferred to Dinghai to work, it is easy to know the news about this." ”
"Chen Dong? Erdong Chen, southeast northwest east? What do you want his information to do. ”
"My boss needs it, help." Liu Ming said.
"Understand, he is very famous in the United States, it is easy to collect his information, wait 2 minutes."
"Okay, trouble, a little bit as soon as possible."
After about 2 minutes.
"Are you there, Liu Ming."
"Yes." Liu Ming hurriedly said.
"You have a computer with you, but you don't have a fax."
"No, I'm going to follow the mayor out on an inspection right now."
"Okay, I'll briefly talk about Chen Dong's information, and you can take notes."
"Okay." Liu Ming took the notebook, took out a fountain pen from his jacket pocket, took off the cap, and scratched it on the paper, so that he could write words, "Okay, okay, you say." ”
"Chen Dong, in August 1998, joined the Foreign Legion of Country F in Africa,......。"
"Wait, join the Foreign Legion of Country F, you didn't confuse the name, Erdong Chen, the southeast and northwest of the east, Chen Dong, who once signed a treaty with the U.S. government and government to change the island."
"That's right." Said on the other end of the phone.
Liu Ming wrote in his notebook with a fountain pen that Chen Dong, in August 1998, joined the Foreign Legion of Country F in Africa, has rich combat experience, is an elite veteran, in April 2000, he was promoted to squad leader, in January 2001, he was kicked out of the Foreign Legion of Country F because he refused to carry out the orders of his superiors and launched an attack on a civilian village, and in 2001, Chen Dong's passenger ship 'Koiz' was wrecked and drifted in the Atlantic Ocean for 98 days, and was called a 'sea fighter' by the American media,......。
It took 10 minutes for Liu Ming to fill two pieces of paper, and shorthand is the most basic skill of every secretary around a leader.
In the case of Liu Ming's shorthand, he can also write the handwriting very neatly.
"Thank you, old classmate, I have to thank you for today's class reunion." Liu Ming said, after speaking, hung up the phone, no time, chatting, Mayor Wu was still waiting for his information.
Liu Ming put the pen back in his pocket, closed the notebook, and quickly followed the group in front of him.
Liu Ming walked quickly to the mayor's side and said, "Mayor, you want Chen Dong's information." ”
"I'm sorry for you, Xiao Liu." The mayor took the notebook, opened it and looked at it, the more he looked at it, the more shocked he became, the $30 million invested in the gold coin farm was only a very small part of Chen Dong, the mountain ranch he had just purchased, 8,000 head of cattle, and spent more than $70 million, since 2001, the stocks purchased by Chen Dong have been worth $300 million, and the $4 million investment in the friendster social network has now exceeded $100 million,,....., recently, The media has counted his fortune at more than $1.5 billion.
This is world-class superimposed.
No wonder, 2, 3 million scattered money in Egret Village, compared to his wealth of more than 1.5 billion US dollars, is only a small amount of money.
Mayor Wu quietly closed the notebook.
Chen Dong and Mayor Wu walked around the village.
He was followed by two foreigners, Fried and Kakra, as well as the secretary who accompanied Mayor Wu on his inspection, and the heads of the county and town.
Mayor Wu didn't speak, and neither did Chen Dong.
Along the way, I took a look at the situation in Egret Village, dilapidated old houses, some are still old houses in the 5th and 60s, the walls are still painted with lime with the slogans of that special era, some houses are cracked, weathered by wind and rain, mottled, the tiles on the roof are repaired, as soon as it rains, the house leaks, and the teenage children don't go to school, so they herd cattle at home and help the family do farm work, with a black face, they are wearing a shabby dress, revealing the ribs of the whole body, and the clothes worn by adults are changed to smaller, and the elder brother wears them, After the elder brother wore the younger brother, he looked at Chen Dong and his party with some curiosity, and a group of such children followed curiously.
Mayor Wu said, "Bailu Village is poor, the whole Sanjiang City is one of the poorest cities in the province, if you want to get rich, you must develop the economy, seeing that the coastal brother cities because of the convenient transportation, China's window for foreign exchanges, investment promotion is in full swing, the economy is developing rapidly, Sanjiang City is an inland city, not by the Yangtze River, the transportation is not developed, there is no foreign capital in, the economy has not improved much, and the development of Sanjiang City into a rich city in the province is a lie." ”
Chen Dong nodded.
Mayor Wu said, "Mr. Chen is a returned overseas Chinese and a native of Sanjiang, and we welcome Mr. Chen to invest in Sanjiang City." ”
