209 Exceeding expectations to achieve goals

"Very good, you can inform your lawyer to come and negotiate the contract" When Su Zhen successfully completed the last 'assessment', Old Archie said to Su Zhen with a smile.

"You agreed to sell the ranch to me?" Su Zhen asked in surprise.

"That's right, there aren't many people like you who can work as a cowboy now, and there are a lot of people who want to buy my ranch, but those guys just take this as an industry, not a life, not to mention cowboy life, even riding is very lame, what kind of rancher should you be? I don't feel comfortable handing over the ranch that I have worked so hard to run for decades to those guys" Old Archie nodded, then sighed and said, "I can see that although your actions are a little rusty, but they are very standard, at least you have studied them carefully, and you are rusty because you haven't done it for a while, which is not surprising, after all, your main business is investment."

Su Zhen was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and couldn't help but thank Old John in his heart, if it weren't for Old John's careful teaching, he wouldn't have these things, speaking of which, I haven't been to Yizhou for a while, when will I go back to see it.

"But before that, I have one more request," Archie said.

"You say," Su Zhen nodded.

"Even though the ranch was sold to you, I still want to live here." "This may be a bit excessive, but after all, I've lived here for decades, and I'm still reluctant to leave, and I'm really not used to life in the city."

"No problem at all, you can live here forever, this is still your home, you can still enjoy everything here" Su Zhen agreed without thinking about it, compared to getting this ranch, this request of the other party is not a problem at all.

"Ha Luha, then thank you, now let's go back," Old Archie smiled and turned his horse and walked ahead. Su Zhen followed excitedly.

Back at Old Alchi's house, Purple Shirt was chatting with Mrs. Emerson, it seemed that Purple Shirt had coaxed the other party well, and Mrs. Emerson's smile never spread.

Seeing Su Zhen and Old Archie coming in, the purple shirt threw an inquiring look at Su Zhen, Su Zhen smiled and nodded, and the purple shirt also showed joy on his face.

"By the way, little one, I still have some ranches in California and Washington State, I wonder if you would be interested in taking over?" After sitting back down. Old Archie asked Su Zhen with a smile, on the way he chatted with this little guy very happily, feeling that he was very close to the other party, and it was more comfortable to sell his own property to the other party, so he started to hand over the rest of his property to the other party.

Su Zhen was overjoyed when he heard this, but then his face turned bitter, and he said, "I'm afraid it won't work, now I don't have much money, and it's already the limit to buy this ranch." Although the elder Archie offered him a very good price for the ranch of $2 billion, he knew what the elder Archie called "some" of the amount of land, which was more than a million acres of land, more than twice the amount of the current ranch. Although Su Zhen doesn't have a lot of land, the key is that he can't take out so much money.

"This is not a problem, you can pay in installments," Old Archie waved his hand, took a sip of coffee and continued, "I am going to leave the money from the sale of the ranch to my two daughters, one hundred million. The rest of the preparation will be used to set up a charitable fund, and then you will only need to return the rest of the money to the fund's account on time."

Su Zhen was shocked when he heard this, the old man was no different from LUO donation. I have to make Su Zhen awe-inspired, don't look at the news in later generations like Bill Gates and Buffett who are willing to donate most of their property, I think that there are many people in the United States who will do this, news news, the reason why it is rare and rare, is that it is news.

Although Americans have a tradition of doing charity, most of them are still limited, and most Americans still like to leave their property to future generations, but most of them use the way of trust funds, which become a commercial fund with their own company and inheritance, and their descendants can only withdraw a certain amount of living expenses from the fund every month or year, so that they are exempt from a huge amount of inheritance tax. The reason why the members of the Morgan family do not appear on the rich list are the reason why they have countless assets and that although the family members cannot use these huge assets for their own luxury, they can still use these inheritances for business operations, so this method is much better than direct inheritance.

"If that's the case, then I'm naturally willing" Su Zhen said seriously, such a good thing, if he doesn't agree, hell be a hell, although he will be burdened with billions of debts, but he has so many excellent industries, as long as a few years can earn it back, but the opportunity to buy these lands is very rare, don't look at the United States is vast and sparsely populated, but there are really not many large areas of land in a state of sale, more than 90% of them are extremely scattered small pastures of hundreds of acres, Su Zhen wants those small ranches to have ghost use? The more those small ranches bought, the higher the various costs would be, so Old Archie was willing to sell all the ranches, which made Su Zhen overjoyed.

"Ha Lu Ha that's good, Alyssa, bring me my treasured brandy, I want to have a good drink with Su" Seeing that Su Zhen agreed, old Archie said to Mrs. Archie, and then smiled and said to Su Zhen who wanted to say something, "Don't refuse, I know that you are not yet an adult, but how can a cowboy not drink, and the current law is also true, this must be in the past, children in the west have been drinking since they were twelve or thirteen years old, so you must drink this wine, as long as you don't sue me afterwards."

"Oh no, of course not, I'm more than happy to have a drink with you" Old Archie said this, and Su Zhen would be a little unsure if he refused again.

Soon Mrs. Emerson brought four glasses and a bottle that looked very old.

"Ha Lu Ha, do you know Lu Dao Su, this brandy was made from peaches grown on the pasture when I married Alyssa, it was more than thirty years ago, and it is definitely the best brandy" Old Archie said excitedly and opened the wine bottle, poured half a glass for several people, and suddenly the rich aroma of wine overflowed.

"It's worthy of being a good wine" Su Zhen smelled the aroma of the wine and opened his mouth to praise. Because Mark likes to drink, Su Zhenqian also knows a little about wine, and the aging of brandy has another famous name - XO. XO stands for EXTRA, OLD, the best of the best. Only the old-aged puree wine can be called XO, and the aging period of brandy is 12-50 years or even hundreds of years, but in the West, for various reasons, it is extremely rare to be able to drink for a hundred years, so the old Alqi, a 30-year-old brandy, can be said to be the best.

When Su Zhen and Zi Shirt left, both of them were already a little drunk, the degree of brandy is not low, although it is not as good as some high strong wines, but it is generally thirty or forty degrees, not to mention this kind of more than 30 years of aging, Su Zhen because of his good physique, he was not completely drunk, and the purple shirt next to him was already staggering, and he could only rely on Su Zhen to support him, but the two old men, although they were also full of alcohol, but they were still very sober, and they sent the two of them to the car before returning to the house.

When Su Zhen woke up the next day, the sun was already shining, and when he saw that the purple shirt next to him was still asleep, he took a shower by himself, and then called Erica and asked her to contact the lawyer of the old Archie to draft the contract together, because the price had been negotiated with Archie yesterday, so the lawyers on both sides only need to prepare the contract, and both parties can sign and pay the money at that time.

Erica was Zhilu Dao Su Zhen went to discuss the ranch, but she didn't expect it to go so smoothly, and what surprised her even more was that it was not just a ranch that reached a deal, but all the land owned by Old Archie, in addition to the 620,000-acre ranch in California, there is also a 100,000-acre orchard in Orange County, southern California, A 150,000-acre farm and a 280,000-acre ranch in Te Heima County, northern California, and a 230,000-acre farm in Ellensburg, Washington, and a 290,000-acre ranch in Yakima, D.C., add a total of 1.67 million acres, or more than 6,700 square kilometers, to a staggering $6.7 billion because the deal includes all the properties on the land.

Although this transaction saddled Su Zhen with a huge debt of more than four billion US dollars, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a cost-effective deal, and at the same time, Su Zhen will also become the landlord with the most land in the United States, and debt does not represent anything, otherwise there will be no such thing as debt ratio, you must know that these ranches, farms and orchards are all good assets that have been profitable, and Su Zhen's goal this time far exceeded his original expectations, which made Su Zhenle for a long time.
