Chapter 1211: Running for Governor
readx;?“ Red River Valley? In what place? ”
Ashley. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Biton frowned, such an unfortunate place, she heard of it for the first time, although as the Minister of Environment of California, logically speaking, she should know the names of places in the jurisdiction, but usually she pays more attention to San Francisco, Sacramento, or a big city like Los Angeles, as for this bullshit Red River Valley, she really hasn't heard of it, in her impression, this place should be an unknown backcountry.
As for why Kate emphasized such a place, there must be a reason, as for what the reason, then hehe, everyone in the official knows.
At this time, listening to Ashley's question, Kate grinned, and then took out a map from her bag, which was the map that Jin Muchen had seen in David's country house before, and the area of the Red River Valley had been marked on it.
When the map unfolded in front of Ashley, Ashley basically understood what Kate meant.
The Red River Valley area that Kate is emphasizing is located just halfway between Santa Barbara and Bakersfield, just above north of Los Angeles, where birds don't.
California, although it is close to the Pacific Ocean, but in fact, if you really talk about the geographical environment, it is not very good, a little better than Nevada next to him, but it is not much, only a small part of the land in the state is cultivated, most of it is desertification, or desertification.
And this Red River Valley area happens to be an oasis between Santa Barbara and Bakersfield, and she has a little impression that this place should be regarded as one of the few agricultural production bases in California.
I didn't expect these guys to be eyeing here, Ashley smiled in her heart, although she was just a minister of the environment, but in fact, people asked her to plan this land, in fact, she knew it very well.
If it were to be passed by high-speed rail by then, the land would be worth a lot of money, and why not go to Santa Barbara or Bakersfield, for the simple reason.
Those two places can't be compared to Los Angeles or San Francisco, but they are also notoriously wealthy cities in California, and if the high-speed rail is going to pass anywhere, it will have to acquire land in these two places, and if you want to acquire land from these two places, you will have to pay a very high price.
But if the high-speed rail line passes through the Red River Valley area, it will be different, although it is an important export area of California's agricultural products, and it is one of the few oases, but after all, it is a barren farm, and the price of land acquisition here will be very cheap.
In addition, the land is almost ternularly unnulled now, but the location is actually very advantageous, and it is also very suitable for a large population to live in.
If they take this land first, then their own Ministry of Environmental Protection will intervene in the planning of the high-speed rail line and classify this land as a necessary place for high-speed rail, then the government will be able to make a lot of money by requisitioning the land.
Although it was said that if the land was requisitioned from here, the price would definitely be very cheap, but the premise was that if the land was still controlled by those mud-legged people who rode horses and herded sheep all day long, the government would definitely not compensate them too much money if they requisitioned the land from them.
But if this land falls into the hands of these oligarchs, it will be a different matter, and the Treasury Department of the California government will definitely not dare to offend them easily, and will definitely be willing to pay several times the compensation for them at that time.
And with the financial resources and ability of these people, if they set up a site here, then they may develop a new town here in the future, and with their ability, they will already make a lot of money just by engaging in real estate development.
These guys, it's really calculating, when they received their bronze Buddha yesterday, they knew that they would definitely find it back this time, and they would definitely not let themselves take advantage of it in vain, but this is not it, they came to the door today, and they also put forward a condition that they couldn't refuse at all.
Hey, those tycoons in the east are really not easy to mess with.
Ashley sighed secretly in her heart, this is also something that can't be helped, in fact, as a qualified politician, of course she knows the truth of taking people's money and eliminating disasters for others.
What's more, the other party not only gave him two bronze Buddhas, but also let his son participate in the research and development project cooperation of the high-speed rail locomotive head.
If it is really done and settles in California, it can at least ensure that her son's family will still be a famous family in California for the next 100 years.
As for this real estate business, although she also wants to come and participate, she knows that to be a person, you must know the truth of accepting what you see, if you want to mix everything, then what awaits you in the end will definitely not be a good fruit.
So a lot of thoughts were just between lightning and flint, and in his mind, he turned in a circle, and then he quickly made a decision.
"Okay, no problem, Kate, you go back and tell your boss, I agreed to this matter. After the California government approves the proposal for the construction of high-speed rail, it will definitely go through a process for the Ministry of Environmental Protection to approve it, and then I will put this land on the high-speed rail line in the name of protecting the environment when it is approved. ”
As soon as Ashley said this, Kate on the other side was already smiling: "Then thank you, Ashley." My boss, I will definitely remember you, by the way, Governor Brown's term of office is almost up, my bosses, I am planning to find a new partner in the California region, I don't know Ashley, are you interested? ”
Kate first expressed her gratitude to Ashley, and then said lightly, although she seemed to say that lightly, but this sentence, listening to Ashley's ears, was like a thunderclap.
What does she mean by that? Are the East Coast tycoons planning to support their run for governor?
Thinking of this, Ashley's heart was pounding, it is true that Brown's term of office is approaching, as an old guy born in 1938, in fact, many people feel that he should have abdicated a long time ago.
Since 2010, this guy has taken over as the previous governor of Terminator, and after becoming the governor of California, the past few years have been very beautiful, and with the help of the clean energy and clean California slogans he promoted during his election campaign, this old guy has colluded with those energy giants in China and solar energy companies, but has made a lot of money.
There are so many California families, watching this old Brown mix up so well, everyone is drooling, but although everyone is very interested in this old guy's money-making routine, not many people dare to stretch out their hands.
After all, this old Brown doesn't want him to look like that, he's a good old man, in fact, this guy is a very black-hearted guy.
The Republicans hate him even more and grit their teeth, you must know that California has always been the territory of the Democratic Party, and in the past few years, it has been suppressed very badly by this old Brown, and recently it has been rumored that the old Brown is in poor physical condition, and he wants to resign and abdicate in the recent period of time to make way for a long time, but not many people on the Republican side dare to make a move.
After all, this is different from the traditional eastern part of the United States, and most of the other states in the west, except for the more conservative and traditional areas such as Utah and Texas in the south, are the territory of the Democratic Party.
At that time, if you rashly participate in the election, not only will you lose badly, but you will also face the situation of being besieged, so the Republican side has not come up with a decent countermeasure so far.
But if the Republicans really disdain the California governor's throne, it must be a fart, at least he Ashley. Beaton, who was very interested in this location.
Don't look at her as a woman, but she has very big political ambitions, on the other hand, who doesn't know, in the past three years, the Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver?
If she can become the governor of California, then in the next few years, their Biton family will be in place, and it is guaranteed to usher in a golden age of explosion, in fact, in several states in the western United States, which state governor, is not the son of the big family in those states take turns to do it?
Even if those families are reluctant to come forward in person, don't they also support a few agents to come forward?
But the last time someone in their Beaton family was governor, it seems to be decades ago.
Now Kate just seemed to say it casually in front of this Ashley, and the old lady immediately bit the hook.
If Kate didn't say this, she wouldn't have too many thoughts about the position of governor, after all, it would be very difficult for their family to run for governor by themselves, first of all, although their family is a famous local family, but because of the lush branches and the great distribution of family property, their family is definitely not the richest in the local area, so in terms of campaign funds, there will definitely be shortcomings.
Moreover, this is still the traditional territory of the Elephant Party, and if you rashly take the lead without strong backing at this time, it is easy to cause a siege.
But with the support of the giants on the East Coast, it's different, because those guys are very rich in the first place!
It's not ordinary money, and secondly, these guys have a natural influence in Washington, and this influence is not ordinary, and the energy of the people is not comparable to their Biton family. (To be continued.) )
