Chapter 21 Buying a ranch
In Durin's dream, he once saw a contract operation that he still feels amazing, that guy finally cheated tens of billions of dollars and ran away, and a few years later was secretly arrested and returned to China to stand trial. It doesn't matter whether this person is good or bad, what he is doing is right or not, the operation methods and ideas of this economic criminal are absolutely amazing, and his courage, without a penny in his hand, he can cheat tens of billions of dollars with one mouth and his plan, he is simply a talent!
Durin had only borrowed a small part of his whole plan, a small part of the empty glove white wolf, and he didn't intend to be a liar or go into exile, so the rest of the plan didn't need to be carried out.
After getting 1,700 yuan and a new letter of intent, Duhrin quickly found four more wine suppliers the next morning. This time it was more reliable than the last meeting, after all, the agreement could not be faked, and it clearly indicated the signature and address of Moon's agent in Turnaire City and Richard. As long as you ask someone, you can know if this agreement of intent is genuine, and no one dares to cheat on this matter.
Two of them were unwilling to take too much risk and took the initiative to launch, leaving two suppliers from abroad with the same mind as Richard to gamble. From them, Du Lin got a new letter of intent, as well as two other liquidated damages, plus just five thousand yuan in his hand.
What can 5,000 dollars do?
As Dührin pondered what to do next, Graff was sitting on the sidelines. 5,000 yuan can buy more than 10 storefronts, and be a living apartment that eats and waits for death. You can build a big house, buy a high-end car, and have a little money left over to start a small business. No matter which option you choose, with 5,000 yuan, you basically don't need to think about a bad ending in this life.
That's five bucks!
But soon he became nervous, and Durin was playing so much this time that his heart was beating so fast that it kept flying. That's a big business of 150,000 bottles! It adds up to almost 100,000 yuan! But Dulin only has 5,000 yuan in his hand, so do you want to run away? Where are you going?
He glanced at Du Lin worriedly, such a troublesome matter, let the smart people think about it.
Graff's fears seemed to Durin to be unwarranted, and it was true that he would have to buy 150,000 bottles of wine in a year, and it would cost almost 90,000 dollars. But this wine was not given to him in a lump sum, and his money was not paid to the other party in a lump sum. To put it simply, as a large customer, he has every reason to pay a deposit of 10% of the total price of 10,000 bottles upfront.
Wait until these wines are sold out before settling the full payment for the 10,000 bottles of wine, and then repeat the previous process, pay the deposit again, purify and sell it when you get it, and settle the bill after the sale. He had very little pressure on cash, and the deposit of 30,000 bottles from the three suppliers was less than 2,000 yuan, and he still had 3,000 yuan in his hand. What really needed him to spend his time, energy and money was to find a place where he could store so much wine and purify it on a large scale.
It was no longer possible to keep up with his speed with a small iron pot for purification, so it was necessary to ask a blacksmith to build a larger distillation equipment, at least about a thousand yuan. It is also necessary to have a warehouse factory that is sufficiently secluded, remote, not easy to be discovered, and at the same time has a certain degree of convenience in transportation, to complete the change from low-alcohol to high-alcohol wine. The warehouse alone costs three to five hundred yuan a year to rent in one go, and with the renovation, I am afraid that there will not be much money left in the end.
And these are not simple things.
Over the next few days, Durin took everything apart and turned it into separate things, and gave it to Graff to do with the members of the Townsfolk Association. Duhrin himself, on the other hand, registered another company.
The newly registered "Tenaire Leather Products (Bag) Company" is only to prevent fraudulent means to withdraw money from the bank when the money is insufficient, and can also transfer property when needed, and he will not use the company lightly unless it is absolutely necessary.
As the teenagers in the hometown association continued to appear on the streets, they changed into brand new clothes and pants, and changed into decent leather shoes, which attracted the curiosity of many of the same young people. The Guartes had a hard time, everyone wanted to wear new clothes, they wanted to fill their stomachs, and under the propaganda of these people, some young people joined the association. The two hundred dollars from Mr. Heidler arrived almost five days in advance, relieving the embarrassing situation of Dühring's funds gradually dwindling.
It just so happened that the factory building was also found.
Turnier is a frontier city with farmland and pastures as far as the eye can see. After Graff was rejected by Doolin in many places, he simply ran out of the city to find a suitable venue, and he really let him find out.
A dilapidated ranch.
Due to poor management and the wartime Empire's efforts to suppress skyrocketing food prices, a large number of beef cattle were forcibly purchased by the government and its low prices. Ranchers who have lost money can only borrow some money from the society to buy calves to raise, hoping that the calves will be able to make up for the lost money when they grow up. But after two years, there was no relief, and people kept coming to the door. When the rancher could not be found, these creditors directly took all the cattle from the ranch to offset the debt. Originally, there was a rancher who hoped to be able to turn the book over, but now he completely fell down and couldn't get up.
The vicious creditors have already said that if they can't pay it back, they will sell the female members of their families to a place where people can spend money and have fun, and the ranchers who do not want to ruin their families can only sell their own ranches.
He has no intention of taking care of the ranch, where weeds grow wildly, and many facilities and buildings are crumbling without maintenance, a dilapidated sight that discourages those who want to invest.
Buying a ranch and rebuilding it is obviously not the most suitable investment project for investors who want to see benefits in the short term, and it is better to buy wasteland directly, which is cheaper.
After such a drag, it dragged down.
Until Graff arrived with Doolin here.
"It's desolate!", Duhrin sighed as he looked at the weeds with one man, in fact, he was very satisfied when he saw this place.
There is a country road next to the pasture, and although the road conditions are not always good, transportation is basically no problem. It's still very remote, except for a small amount of farmland, that is, wasteland, and pedestrians can't see a single one for half a day. In addition, because of negligent management, the barren grass in the pasture is one person high, and ordinary people will never come to this place if they are not deliberately for something, and they still get into it.
During distillation, some fugitive liquor will leak out of the still, and if the rich aroma does not dissipate, it will definitely cause trouble in densely populated places. He hasn't even gotten a liquor license so far, and he will definitely be seized if he is reported.
The only trouble now is that the crumbling sheds are clearly unusable and have to be rebuilt, which is another additional expense. Fortunately, Mr. Heideler's second money arrived in time, otherwise he would have really had to use some unwanted means to raise cash.
As he walked down a trail to the rancher's house, Durin asked, "How much does this guy owe? How much does he want to sell?"
Graff said as he opened the road ahead, "I heard that it was two thousand two hundred, and he offered three thousand." ”
Du Lin frowned, excluding other expenses and the money given by Heidler, there was still a gap of almost five hundred yuan, but when it was really calculated, this was a gap of one thousand yuan. Because it is impossible for him to give away all the money without leaving a penny, he must leave three or five hundred yuan as an emergency fund, and it is not a simple matter to get together a thousand yuan in a short period of time, so he can only take one step and see one step ahead.
Together with two members of the association, the two visited the rancher's home.
The door was opened by a woman who looked to be in her thirties, with blonde hair and a very distinct Ogding character. She is in good shape and looks okay, no wonder those creditors said they wanted to sell her to pay off their debts. Such mature women, especially those with blonde hair, are most popular in entertainment venues. Ogding is somewhat populist and looks down on other "failed races", so even if he has negative distance contact with women in such an entertainment venue, he will choose Ogding women.
As for the other races, who were bullied, suppressed or hostile by the Ogding people, they would definitely choose the Ogding women as their object of absurdity overnight when they came to such a place. It seems that when riding on them, it can alleviate the grievances and anger that you usually receive.
If she has a daughter, I'm afraid the price will be at least several times over!
The woman looked through the crack in the door with some vigilance at the visitors, her gaze always fixed on Graff, subconsciously believing that if the group were the bad guys, then Graff was the worst guy.
Durin stepped forward and showed a smiling face, "Good afternoon, dear lady, my name is Durin, and the purpose of this visit here is that I heard that this ranch is for sale, right?"
The woman nodded hesitantly, her shoulders hidden behind the door moving, and a series of footsteps could be faintly heard from near and far.
Sure enough, it was only more than twenty seconds, and a heavy footstep slowly leaned over, and the lady took the initiative to get out of the way, revealing a man's head. His golden-brown hair and beard indicate his half-breed status, and most of the Ogding were blonde, or a small amount of flaxen, and his face was not very good-looking, and he looked at the four people outside the door through the crack in the door, and finally his eyes fell on Graff.
"Do you want to buy this ranch?"
