000167 Buy on the horse farm

"This place is good, and the problem of our parking lot will be solved after buying it."

"Yes, in the future, no matter how many vineyards there are, there will be some places to expand our winery facilities."

These guys, knowing that Xiao Yifei was not short of money, began to encourage Xiao Yifei to buy it one by one. Xiao Yifei himself thinks it's good, and after buying your ranch, you have no reason to toss it. In addition, if you buy a horse farm, in addition to solving the parking lot, you can also build a nursery in the future, or even change it into a vineyard.

If there are still people tossing after buying a horse farm, then Xiao Yifei is probably the mayor of the town who is making trouble. Xiao Yifei has some ways to clean him up at that time, such as buying a vineyard near his house and building an old fan, which can't kill him in the middle of the night. Or build a compost and stink him to death.

Xiao Yifei directly called Cowell Real Estate Company and got a quote from the ranch. The entire ranch is made up of two plots, of which the plot near the winery is 32 acres, because there is a ranch building on it, the price is 2.3 million US dollars, and the land far from the winery is 25 acres, basically no buildings, so the price is 1.59 million.

When David heard the offer, he said:

"It's a lot cheaper than before."

No, it's only 57 acres, and it costs $3.89 million, or almost $70,000 an acre, which Β±is only half the price of a second-class vineyard.

"It's too expensive."

Xiao Yifei saw that the entire horse farm was planted with alfalfa, oats, dogtail grass and the like, and the buildings were also horse sheds and the like, so he felt that the asking price was too outrageous.

David rebelled again:

"You ask him, does it include horses."

Although foreign farming novels are popular for raising horses and riding horses, it is in the big pastures, and here we are Napa, the roads are all cement roads, and there are vineyards everywhere. Where there is the opportunity and space for you to ride a horse.

"What do I want horses for?"

The other agent said:

"Contains 13 horses and various facilities."

David explains:

"Those horses are Arabian horses, and they are purebred stallions, and now the foals of purebred Arabian horses are thousands of dollars, and a good stallion is worth 900 dollars for a single breed. If you can raise a winning horse, you can sell it for millions. ”

Of course, Xiao Yifei didn't believe it:

"It seems like all racehorses are thoroughbreds, right?"

"There are Arabian horse beauty pageants everywhere in the world, and we have more than a dozen in California every year. And the Arabian horse is a very good horse for equestrian performances. There are also competitions dedicated to Arabian horses. Even the Dubai Horse Racing World Cup has an Arabian horse project. How many mares, stallions, and ponies are there? ”

"He said, 2 ponies, 2 stallions, 9 mares. David, is this mare too much? ”

"Shaw, Arabian horses are different from thoroughbreds, they are mares that are more valuable."

Khan, how is this reversed. A thoroughbred is a stallion that is worth a lot of money, and an Arabian horse is a mare that is worth a lot.

"Everyone's requirement for a stallion is that his mother is pretty."

Dizzy, this is appearance discrimination. But also, Arabian horses are mainly based on looks, so the offspring of beautiful mares are more likely to give birth to beautiful offspring, and those royal nobles who are crooked and cracked are not doing this by improving their own genes.

Xiao Yifei brought the topic back to the land:

"Then it won't cost $3.89 million."

"Shaw, if you don't want to keep a horse, buy it and sell it. It is also cost-effective to use the ground to be cultivated into vineyards. Do you know how much bare land outside is suitable for vineyards? ”

The so-called bare ground is after leveling. Land that can be reclaimed directly for vineyards. Xiao Yifei really didn't know the price of bare land, so he could only shake his head.

"100,000."

Xiao Yifei asked incredulously:

"1 acre?"

David nodded.

"Bare ground?"

Nodding again, David made another slash.

"The kind of untidy, slightly flatter wasteland costs $5,000 an acre."

Xiao Yifei instantly felt that his worldview was collapsing, and the land that had nothing was 5,000 US dollars. At this price, you can buy a few acres of arable land and pasture in other states, and you can only buy wasteland here.

"Let me think about it."

In Napa, there is little use for horses, and there is no place for these horses to run. There is always a lot of traffic on the road, so it's no wonder that horses are not frightened when they get on the road. George Roger's horse farm is going to be sold, and it is indeed because it can't be operated, so if you want to buy it yourself, you will definitely lose money. But a little reclamation of bare vineyards is worth more than a racecourse, so it's really good to buy it and make it into a vineyard, and you can even get a branch factory in Monterena.

No, today it's not about horses, it's about why George Roger is hindering his resort, and he hurriedly withdrew the topic.

Greg thought for a moment and said:

"I guess I'm still interested in your money."

"When did they get listed?"

"The first listing was in August last year, when the two plots were together, and the asking price was 5.75 million, which is quite reasonable. However, no one bought the listing this time, so he had to cancel the listing in January this year. This time it was listed in July, and it seems that they were worried that the two plots would not sell well, so they took them apart and sold them. ”

Xiao Yifei thought that in July, he was in talks to buy Monterena, so it would be possible, or the buyer's agent just now would not have specifically emphasized that a winery could be built here.

Forget it, buy it, it's a big deal to reclaim this place as a vineyard.

Xiao Yifei decided to buy this horse farm, and everyone went back to their own work at hand, Xiao Yifei slowly played and walked to his new home, and then the phone remembered again.

He thought it was Wang Nan calling, so he picked it up casually and said:

"What's the matter? Aren't you going to play? ”

"Mr. Xiao, what nonsense are you talking about? Who's coming? Your little girlfriend? ”

suffered, not Wang Nan, but Concubine Yue.

"Oh, Sister Yue, what's the matter with you?"

"Let's talk to Boss Xiao about my recent work."

"Pull it, I just take care of giving and collecting money, you can do other things, you don't have to report to me."

"Then come over and see your little girlfriend too."

"That's not a girlfriend, if it's a girlfriend. It's still in China. ”

"You just pretend, you're eating from the bowl and looking at the pot."

The next day, early in the morning, Xiao Yifei organized the acquisition of the racecourse. Of course, the lawyer is still Jensen, and the other manpower is still responsible for the corresponding personnel of the winery, but the winery lawyer Corian actually volunteered to follow and bargain. Everyone had a small meeting together and assigned their work. Let's briefly discuss the countermeasures.

After making an appointment with the other party's agent, Xiao Yifei and the others were walking to the entrance of the winery, when a car stopped.

"Boss Xiao, what are you going to do with a large group of people early in the morning?"

I'll go, Concubine Yue really came over.

"Why are you here?"

"Didn't I tell you to report to work?"

"If there's anything to do, just say that I still have something to do."

Seeing that everyone was waiting for Xiao Yifei, Concubine Yue understood that he was really in trouble, so she said simply:

"We've got an office now, and we're pretty much staffed."

"That's a good thing. You just have to work hard. ”

"But we've just started and we don't have any reputation at all, so let's talk to these wineries and let them know that we're a company that joins the ranks of intermediaries."

Oh, it's for the salesman to sweep the streets.

"Then you can go, do you want me to give you a map of the winery?"

"No, I thought you were free. Accompany us to a few wineries, there are acquaintances to talk to. ”

"I don't know very many people myself. Where you are qualified to talk about acquaintances, you can go yourself. ”

"I guess that's the case. Why is your generation going? ”

Xiao Yifei omitted the previous reason:

"I'm going to buy the horse farm across the street."

"Horse farm? Got a horse breeder on the other side? How many times have I been here, why haven't I seen it? ”

So Concubine Yue sent two of her subordinates to a few small wineries next to her to publicize, and she followed them curiously to see the horse farm. came to George Roger's ranch, and the other party's agent was already waiting at the door.

As soon as they met, Concubine Yue actually knew the other party's agent, and Xiao Yifei asked. It turned out that Cowell and Sotheby's International Real Estate in San Francisco, where Concubine Yue used to be, were actually related. Sotheby's International Realty is a subsidiary of Realogy. Cowell also happens to be one of the subsidiaries of the Realogy Group. Coupled with the fact that everyone is a mixed real estate agent, it is not surprising that Concubine Yue and him know each other.

The pasture is the same as it can be seen outside, with grass as far as the eye can see. However, it can be seen that the land is definitely leveled, and the grass on the ground is the same as the lawn that has been built. Brush the stubble a few centimeters high.

David grabbed a handful of dirt in his hand, and the soil was not bad, except for a small number of pebbles, which was a lump of dirt.

"This soil can be used to grow grapes, and it can also be used to grow crops."

He has been dealing with the vineyard for about the same age as Xiao Yifei, and he still has this eyesight.

Xiao Yifei also grabbed a handful:

"There are a lot fewer stones than the winery's."

The broker next to him explained:

"Workers have to cut grass and feed the horses at any time, and the mower can't stand it when there are too many stones."

The ranch has two main buildings, one for office and lodging, and the other for the unusually tall stable.

The agent unceremoniously pushed open the door to the office area.

"John, John."

The agent shouted twice, and an old man in his 50s poked his head out of a room.

"John, this is Shaw, and he wants to buy your horse farm."

"Hello, Shaw. You're the owner of the winery across the street. ”

This is too fake, I don't believe you don't look into it before tossing. He responded quietly:

"Hello, John."

This John is clearly not George, because George is 75 years old, and it seems that he should be George's son. He took the initiative to say:

"I'll show you around first." (To be continued......)
