Chapter 120: Crystal Lake

"Boss, what do you think?" Old Chavez ran out of his car and pointed to the map.

"With this boundary monument as the limit, all the real estate within 30 kilometers of it is packaged and sold together, as long as 12 million US dollars, not to mention the crystal mine that has not yet been mined, even if it is just speculation on the land, it will be released."

The United States is vast and sparsely populated, if it is in the central desert, let alone 30 kilometers, even 300 kilometers of land no one wants, but this is the western coastal area, just in the middle of Los Angeles and San Francisco, although it is said to be a little remote, but as long as it is developed, hang a brand of tourism and vacation, it is indeed according to what Chavez said, even if it is speculation, it can be speculated.

But such an obvious good thing, if no one has thought of it, it must be nonsense.

The United States lacks everything, but there is never a shortage of guys who like to dream and dare to chase their dreams.

This town, there must be a problem, and it must be a big problem.

So big that even if hundreds of millions of dollars are in front of them, no one dares to come to get a piece of the pie.

"These houses seem to be almost rotten!" Looking at the sparse houses in the town, Li Qingyuan nodded and said.

In the United States, unless you are the super-rich or an apartment building in the center of a big city, almost everyone else has a house made of wood.

As for why the house is made of wood instead of concrete, as is the case with large flowers.

On the one hand, because the house is built out of wood so quickly, it only takes a few days to build the house, and there is no need for years of construction.

On the other hand, it's because wood is cheap!

For the same house, the price of wood is more than five or six times cheaper than the price of concrete, plus the labor cost, that price can really make many small tyrants afraid to speak.

So basically, more than 80 percent of Americans that you often see live in two- or three-story wooden attics, even if they are relatively wealthy.

This town has been abandoned for more than 30 years, and if it is a house like the flower family, it will be dilapidated at most if it has not been inhabited for 30 years, but in the United States, this kind of wooden attic has not been repaired for 30 years, so you can imagine how dangerous it has become.

It is estimated that a strong wind can blow this town directly.

"This is actually very cheap to build!" Chavez said hurriedly.

"I have the best maintenance team in Los Angeles, and with a small amount of money, I can tear down this town and rebuild it, and then you can become the mayor of this town, and it's only a two-and-a-half-hour drive from Los Angeles, it's very close."

In the American concept, what can be reached in an hour by car is considered to be the doorstep, and the place that can be reached in two and a half hours can indeed be regarded as very close.

After all, it would take more than two hours to drive from Fiona's Cucamun neighborhood to Hollywood in downtown Los Angeles.

"Where are the crystal veins you are talking about?" Although it seems tempting to be the mayor of a town, even if he has so much spare money to invest in this town, the population is a big problem, and he can't go out and kidnap people by himself.

So it's still down-to-earth, find the crystal mine first, and then think about what to do next after making money.

By the way, we also have to solve the hidden problems.

According to Kripetra's budget, what the other party threw into his hands this time must be a hot potato, and if he can solve this trouble, then the other party will believe to a certain extent that he has the capital to talk to him.

On the contrary, if you can't solve this trouble by yourself or hang up because of this trouble, then for the main messenger behind the scenes, there is no loss, anyway, his purpose is the same, right?

Although he hates this feeling of being a chess player and a chess piece, he is too far from the opponent in terms of hard power or soft power, and can only play according to the rules of the game set by the opponent.

"At the back of town." Chavez had already checked all the information before he arrived, and immediately led him down the overgrown road towards the back of the town.

"It's beautiful!" The three of them walked for about forty minutes, turned a rusty iron fence, and saw a blue lake as far as the eye could see.

This lake is about hundreds of acres in size, and the water is crystal clear, as if a piece of jade is decorated on the earth.

Fiona couldn't help but admire the beauty of the lake, if it weren't for the fact that it was winter, she would really want to jump down and swim.

"This lake is good!" Master Li nodded slightly, what kind of crystal mine is not to mention for the time being, just the scenery of this lake, if you build a row of villas next to it, it will definitely sell for a good price.

Hearing his compliment, Chavez immediately said with some pride:

"Boss, the main reason why this lake looks so beautiful is because the crystal vein is around the lake, please take a closer look."

As he pointed out, the two of them realized that the embankments around the lake were flickering in the sunlight.

"The whole lake is surrounded by crystal mines?" No wonder it looks so gorgeous, the whole lake is right in the center of a crystal vein, and the exposed crystal rough reflects each other with the sun, it is impossible not to think about it!

"That's right, hence the name of this lake!"

Chavez took a step back and pointed to the sign on the iron fence.

"Crystal Lake!"

Crystal Lake!

Francis. Underwood clicked on his computer, and it was supposed that only five people in the entire United States were qualified to view this kind of top-secret document.

That is the president and vice president, the president of the Senate and the House of Representatives, plus the federal justices.

But because the current Speaker of the House of Representatives, Bob. Boch's old guy had been set aside by him several years ago, and if it weren't for Francis's goal not being the Speaker of the House of Representatives, he could have kicked Bob's old guy out four years ago, so this so-called top-secret document naturally fell into his hands.

During the Nixon era, the federal government spent 17 top agents to investigate the Crystal Lake incident, but in the end, no one survived, and the entire city of Jinshan was forced to be abandoned, and 1,800 people were evacuated. ’

More than 30 years have passed, and the Crystal Lake incident has disappeared under the control of the government, and the survivors of Jinshan City at that time are now almost dead.

Besides, even if they didn't die, they didn't know much about it, after all, the people who knew the reason for it had already died.

"Qingyuan Li! Just let me see if you're qualified or not, talk to me! Francis shredded the file he had just opened and said softly.
