Chapter 9: Here it is!
"Greetings, distinguished gentlemen, my name is Robbins Garcia, and I am now in charge of this estate for the time being." Seeing Jiang Hai and Will Anthony get out of the car, the middle-aged man greeted him with a slightly far-fetched smile.
"Hello, my name is Jiang Hai, you can call me Jiang." I shook hands with this middle-aged man, this is a pair of very powerful, and it is covered with calloused hands, it seems that this man should be a good hand at doing things.
"Hello, Mr. Jiang, I understand your intention, come with me!" knew that Jiang Hai was a Chinese, and the other party spoke English slowly, but although Jiang Hai had no opportunity to speak English before, after all, English must pass level 4 in college.
Only this is not easy to spend money, so he still knows some, plus after knowing that he is going to come to the United States, he also studied English in the imperial capital for half a month, I don't know if it is because of the dragon pattern, his brain is much smarter than before.
Half a month of surprise study, coupled with listening and watching more after arriving in the United States, except for some strange slang, as long as the other party speaks slowly, he can probably understand it.
This is also the reason why Will Anthony is not in a hurry to translate for Jiang Hai.
"Okay." Hearing this Robbins Garcia's words, Jiang Hai also nodded, and then he and Will Anthony followed the middle-aged man into the manor, buying land in Europe, the United States, Canada, and Australia, and the units used were similar to those in China, which were also acres, but acres, one acre was equal to six acres of land, and the money for buying land here was also calculated according to acres.
If you say Texas, Montana and other places, the price of this land is really not high, an acre is about 1,000 US dollars to 2,000 US dollars, if it is New Mexico, an acre of land is not even 1,000 US dollars, and some sellers who are eager to sell even pressed the land to 550 US dollars at the lowest time.
But this price, in the east is not to think about it, you must know that the land in the east is expensive, there is no reason at all!
As for the eastern metropolitan area, Massachusetts doesn't have to think about it, let alone Boston.
According to the information checked by Jiang Hai, in Winthrop County, Boston, the average price of land here is 12,700 US dollars per acre, and at the same price, you can buy six acres of land in Montana, but here, it is only worth one acre.
According to the information written above, this manor has a total of 11,200 acres of land on land alone, including 9,200 acres of grazing area, and one acre of woodland, and the trees planted in it are more than ten years old, which are owned by Jiang Hai, as long as Jiang Hai is willing, he can cut it down at any time, but when the time comes, a snowstorm or typhoon comes, and it suffers losses, don't look for a place to cry, and the insurance company will not insure the manor without trees to cover it.
There are also 1,000 acres, is a huge wine estate, just behind the residential area, planted with three kinds of grapes, but now no one has taken care of it, the price of land here alone, there are 142.2 million US dollars, is the largest estate in this vicinity, the original owner of this estate, was originally the world's fourth largest investment company, Lehman Brothers Holding Company has a large director with a lot of equity, the company's market value at its peak was as high as 691 billion US dollars, but unfortunately, it is all a mirror, Under the subprime mortgage crisis of '08, the company's fortunes shrank sharply and eventually declared bankruptcy.
And the life of this major shareholder can also be imagined, the stock that was originally worth tens of billions of dollars has become waste paper, and in order to make up for his debts, he has to sell his fixed assets.
This manor was sold to Phillips for 150 million US dollars, but now Phillips is ready to sell it to Jiang Hai at a price of 280 million, these guys are really black! Of course, Jiang Hai didn't know this.
He only knew that it covered an area of 11,200 acres, with a sea area of 720 square kilometers, bounded by his pasture, and the coastal boundary line of the ranch was 4.2 kilometers in total, which was in an arc shape, and ran along the coast, a total of eight stations so far, but compared with the extension into the sea, it was far worse, because the scope of his economic fishing ground was 171 kilometers, according to the standard calculation of the sea surface, the sea mile was calculated, and there were 92 nautical miles, according to the current relatively fast boats. You can advance thirty knots per hour, and you have to drive for three hours at the end, if you want to go around, this small day, you basically have to spend it on the boat, this large area, if Jiang Hai nods, it will be his.
"The land here is great, it's really great, I don't know the results of growing food, but the growth of vegetables and pastures is very good, there are three water sources nearby, in addition to the Atlantic Ocean that we can see, there are short bays, and of course, there are indispensable freshwater resources, there is a Lewis Lake nearby, there is a lot of groundwater in the lake, so we don't lack fresh water here at all, the previous owner here, laid four waterways here, can completely solve the domestic water and irrigation." After entering the manor, Robbins Garcia had already prepared three quad bikes at the door, which should also be called all-terrain cars.
Usually you don't let you go to the road, but in the ranch, it is one of the best means of transportation.
Jiang Hai used to have a driver's license, but he had hardly driven a car, and this should be the first time to ride, but fortunately, Robbins still took care of Jiang Hai, and he didn't ride much, and the three of them rode a small car, constantly speeding on this vast grassland, while riding, Robbins-Garcia talked to Jiang Hai about the situation here.
"Other pastures, whenever it is in season, the most troublesome thing is that they need to be transferred, because the turf in one place has been gnawed, they have to leave the seeds and transfer to another pasture, but we don't have to worry about it here, we can raise up to 200,000 cattle here, but the cost of breeding is too high, we only need to raise 50,000 cattle, we can move freely here, there is no need to worry about forage, even the hay to be used in winter and fattening, there is no need to worry at all." Looking at Jiang Hai's curious look, Robbins continued, and it could be seen that he was still very knowledgeable about this grassland, and looking at his smug appearance, he should have known a lot about this place before.
"Before 08 years, the output of beef here alone, the net profit can reach 11 million US dollars, this is still not full, if it is full, at least three times, the red wine estate over there, can make the best red wine, the red wine here, even won awards in international competitions, a bottle sold to dozens of US dollars is not a problem at all, the 1,000 acres of wine production area, at least hundreds of thousands of bottles can be brewed every year, in addition to the value of labor and raw materials, you can also earn more than five million Franklin." Soon, the people rode from the pastures to the wine-growing area, where the wine shelves had been for many years, but alas, there was nothing on it now, and beyond the wine estates, there were woods, and it stands to reason that these things were really valuable.
After all, in China, trees are sold on all sides, but obviously, in the United States imperialism there are tree economic zones that specialize in selling trees, and no one will sell such a protected forest, so Robin Period Garcia did not introduce too much.
"The last introduction is the big head here, the fishery, before 08 years, there was a 100-ton fishing boat here, a year's income, I heard that there are more than 20 million US dollars, but how much, I don't know, but it should be a lot more, counting that there has been no fishing here for seven years, it is estimated that there will be a lot of underwater resources." After passing the woods, he came to the beach, and as soon as he arrived at the beach, the smell of the sea entered Jiang Hai's nose, and Robbins also stopped here, stretched his waist against the sea breeze, and said to Jiang Hai, and was blown by the sea breeze, Jiang Hai's spirit was also better.
"Sir, although I know that there should be more than one person who said such things to you, but I still have to say that this place is really good, the land of the pasture is very good, the water quality of the fishing ground is also excellent, it is only a little more than an hour's drive to Boston, and the Long Island of New York is across the sea, from the land, you can reach the Big Apple in about three hours, there is no pollution near here, the air index, in the United States can also be ranked first, I think you have been to Montana, the air there is very good, But it smells of cow, but here it is sweet. It seemed to see the satisfaction in Jiang Hai's eyes, but Jiang Hai didn't speak, not only Will Anthony was not easy to handle, but even Robbins Garcia was a little anxious, and couldn't help but say to Jiang Hai.
Looking at the sea in front of him, Jiang Hai nodded lightly, to be honest, he was quite satisfied with this place.
But at this price, he does have 330 million dollars now, to be exact, there are 332 million US dollars, and the 2 million is what he got out after selling other stones, as well as those crystals, if he really buys here, 281 million will be smashed, and his money will only be 50 million, and he will also have some liver tremors after spending such a big amount of money.
So for this, although he was very satisfied, he never nodded, and he was also thinking about whether it was worth it.
"Uh......" Just when Jiang Hai felt that 280 million was too expensive, and wanted to think about it again, suddenly his chest was hot, such a feeling, in fact, he was not unfamiliar, quietly glanced at his chest, Jiang Hai nodded:
"Here, I want it!"
