Chapter 223: A Thousand Dollars Buy a Horse

The Earl of Aberdeen sells a large number of shares - the Scottish Daily

The Earl of Aberdeen bought £3.5 million for an agricultural village near Edinburgh, which included a cricket ground, a three-storey manor mansion and a 17th-century chapel. - Edinburgh Evening News

Thirteen hundred acres of land changed owners overnight, including 30 houses and farmhouse shops - an entertainment tabloid in Edinburgh

"How did it get so big?"

Looking at the several newspapers in his hand, Joseph was a little dissatisfied, after all, this would give the merchants the opportunity to raise the price.

"Don't worry, Lord Earl, now that the agricultural economy in Scotland is in a recession, they are willing to sell their land, which will allow us to buy it faster, and there is room for negotiation on the price."

If this is the case, then it is understandable that the land near Aberdeen is fixed, but the funds in the hands of the Earl of Aberdeen are even more fixed, and those who sell quickly can sell them, and those who sell slowly ...... I'm sorry, but you can only continue to lose money slowly.

"What kind of rural ...... this"

"Holt Village."

"Yes, how does Holt Village only cost three and a half million pounds?"

Alan didn't answer immediately, but took out a map, pointed to the uneven terrain on it and said: "It's not suitable for planting, so it's cheaper, don't you often say that you buy a horse for a thousand dollars......"

Joseph couldn't help but smile bitterly, he didn't expect that Alan was still such a talented person, and he could actually turn the casually told story of buying a horse here, but maybe Alan himself didn't know that the piece of land he bought was not without economic value.

It is a pity that the construction system can only be used in the country, although Aberdeen and the surrounding land belong to Joseph, but after all, this is the United Kingdom, so the construction system cannot be used here. But it's not just the system that can change the economy, the fruit trees can.

The terrain is not suitable for growing grain and vegetables, but there is no big problem in growing melons and fruits, and Scotland is more primitive, as long as good seeds are selected. Most of the products grown here are good.

In addition, this is the place where the hunting ground is suitable for construction, and the hunting ground in Aberdeen was somewhat flat, even if it was raised for many years. There aren't too many beasts either, but this forest is different.

"How much money do you have now?"

"Most of the shares were sold for £13 million, plus some of the previous savings and some of your private assets, which amounted to about £20 million, and now only £3.5 million."

"Let's build a small town of Aberdeen! A real Aberdeen town. Is 30 million pounds enough for a small town that integrates finance and commerce? ”

Although Nord's finances were not very surplus at this time, 30 million pounds was still no problem, 30 million pounds to build a town and 20 million to buy land, it can be said that Joseph would lay a real territory for the future Earl of Aberdeen.

20 million pounds in exchange for 15,000 acres of land is not too much of a problem, and the town's annual rent must be quite a lot, as long as the future Earl of Aberdeen is not too bad, then the steady development is enough to ensure that Aberdeen has no worries for generations.

"What is Joseph trying to do?"

John was very strange to see that some announcements of recruiting craftsmen began to appear on the street, and the rich second generation and the big head next to him were also a little puzzled, but they didn't say it. Instead, he was going to go back and ask Joseph.

"I guess I want to build an independent territory!"

"Territory?"

Li Chaojun shrugged and explained: "Although there is no such thing as private land in England, if this piece is bought by Joseph, then what difference is there between renting tenants and tenant farmers before the war. ”

"The British government ......"

"This is Scotland, my John."

John scratched his head and suddenly a thought came to his mind, his background is not very good, at least they can't compare with the rich second-generation boss, in this case, this may be his way out.

An hour later, the Kasbah

"John. What did you say? ”

"I also study economic management, how about I become the future mayor of the town?"

He said that he was the mayor of the town, but in fact John had in mind the title of the Prime Minister of the Dominion of Aberdeen, and the town was under his control from planning to development. It's exciting to think about.

"You ......"

Although he didn't know what John was thinking in his heart, Joseph couldn't help but be a little shocked, what is this and what, John should have a better future.

"How about Joseph, you have to trust in my abilities."

"I believe, I believe in your abilities. But ......"

"No, but, then I think you have agreed to this matter, Prime Minister of the Dominion Territory of Aberdeen, Prime Minister of the Dominion of Aberdeen, hehe......"

All right! It was then that Joseph understood why John was so excited, but ...... Forget it, when he gets tired of it, he will naturally retreat.

What Joseph didn't know was what kind of genius he was looking for for his future Aberdeen heir, and it was to him that the Aberdeen Group would be able to occupy the top 500 in Europe in the future.

Qingmei County, Huaxia

Li Xiaoxi, who woke up from the lunch break, walked out of the room with his eyes wide, saw that there was only one guard left, looked at him with some confusion and asked, "Uncle Hei, why isn't Uncle Bai here?" ”

Uncle Hei and Uncle Bai naturally came according to the skin color of the two, not only her, but the rest of the Li family also had different names for the two guards, and the foreign names were too difficult to remember, so they simply called them Da Hei and Da Bai...... There is no disrespect, just a simple name.

"He has other things, he will be back in a while, Miss Xi has something?"

"No, it's okay, where's my mom?"

"Mrs. Li? Mrs. Li went to work, and so did Mr. Li. ”

"Oh!"

With a roll of his eyes, Li Xiaoxi began to have some thoughts.

At the same time, the Li family and his wife were very popular and were surrounded by the workers, and the topic was naturally about the two cars in front of the door and the foreign devils.

"Lao Li (Mother Li), is the big black one your uncle or the big white one is your uncle?"

"Go, go, that's the bodyguard arranged by my aunt, it is said that what special forces are retired, and it is very powerful to kill people without blinking."

It is a fact that the special forces are decommissioned, but it is completely conjecture to kill people without blinking, of course, things are indeed true, if they are allowed to kill, there is no problem without blinking.

"Two small cars, it should be a big cadre!"

"It was the car of the municipal party committee, it seems that my aunt asked them to help pick up Xiaohan."

"Your uncle is a big cadre of the municipal party committee? My God, how old a cadre must be to be able to use foreign devils as bodyguards! ”

"What a big cadre, my uncle is a mixed race between England and us, what kind of earl is in the UK, anyway, it means nobles."

"Earl? Is it the earl of the duke and the uncle? ”

"Yes, yes, yes, it's the earl, but it's not our country, it's British."

"Of course it's not our country, how many years have it been liberated, and then there is an earl to pay it back."

"Then your uncle is not a foreign devil."

"Didn't I say it all, it's a mixed-race child, his father is a British nobleman, and his mother is our Han."

The chatter was full of quarrels, and on the other side, the old Mr. Li was surrounded by a group of people, but they were talking about another topic.

"This time you're developed, and you're about to emigrate!"

"What kind of people to move, it's better to stay in the country honestly, it's so chaotic outside, and Xiaoxi still has to go to school."

"I heard that foreign education is better, and I didn't keep talking about immigrating to Nord some time ago, Nord's education is good and makes more money, Britain is a big country, it should be better than Nord!"

"Then don't go, it's better for us to be in China."

"I said Lao Li, why are you so tough."

"What are you doing, don't work hard, and you Zhang Degui, what's good abroad, aren't you afraid that the public security will arrest you?"

"Director, what are you doing with me, I haven't done anything illegal."

"It's not good to say that foreign countries are good, why do you dare to talk back?"

"Yes, I can't afford to mess with you, I'll get out of the way!"

"This guy."

The director shook his head and ignored him, but came directly to the Li family's father and took the initiative to hand over a cigarette. When did the Li family's father meet this side of the director? hurriedly took the cigarette, and was about to thank him, when he saw the secretary coughing not far away, which frightened the Li family's father and wanted to hide the cigarette in a hurry.

"Lao Li, I'm not here to trouble you, just smoke if you want! I still can't help but smoke one, nothing! ”

As if afraid that the Li family's father would not believe his words, the secretary took the initiative to ask the workshop director with a sneering face to come over, and then took it in his mouth and pumped it, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the remaining two.

"Secretary Zhang of the county party committee is going to visit your house tonight, let's prepare a little!"

The Li family's father can no longer be treated like a few years ago, the deputy secretary general of the municipal party committee speaks respectfully, he is just a small secretary, how dare he speak wantonly? said that the secretary of the county party committee visited, it was also in a consultative tone, if you don't want to, then directly find another time, which is also the original words of the county party secretary.

Of course, the official face can't affect people's rest, in fact, where did other people think about these at other times? He is the secretary of the county party committee, and he can visit whenever he wants, so why don't people let him in?

"Secretary Zhang of the county party committee? It's ......"

"Yes, it's our parent officer, he is very grateful to you for helping Qingmei County cultivate such an excellent girl, it's normal to visit."

Really normal? The father of the Li family is not a fool, he understands that this is all his uncle's face, otherwise he can touch the deputy secretary general of the municipal party committee and the secretary of the county party committee?

What he didn't know, at this time, Deputy Secretary-General Wang was also on the way to Qingmei, and at the same time there were also members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Secretary General of the Municipal Party Committee. The Earl of Aberdeen, who is quite a rich fellow, if he can invest some money in the West Sea, then ...... (To be continued.) )
