306 The largest farm in the United States

Over 10,000 meters above Texas, USA, a Boeing 747 is flying smoothly.

"Eric, I have to say, you really enjoy life, such a plane is simply a castle in the sky." Inside the 747 aircraft, Henry Morgan looked at the luxurious interior around him, experienced the leather touch of the sofa he made, and couldn't help but say with emotion.

"You can also buy one and try it." Chen Zhiwen tasted the wine in his hand and said with a smile.

After leaving Los Angeles, Chen Zhiwen rushed to Boeing's headquarters, where the plane had been decorated and was waiting for his acceptance.

The plane cost $55 million, while the entire decoration cost $12 million, for example, all the wood trim materials in the plane are from a tree at a height of 2,000 meters above sea level in the European Alpis Mountains, the wood can naturally carry a faint fragrance, which can last for years without any harm to humans or animals.

All the leather on the seats in the plane comes from the belly of the crocodile from the African savannah, and there is a limit on the age of the crocodile, and it is said that for this purpose, a European company has partnered with the local natives to provide them with some modern weapons, and specially purchased the crocodile skins from them. Even so, production is still very low, and this type of leather is mostly used in super luxury cars and less in airplanes.

There is also a special wine cabinet on the plane, which has all kinds of red wine, wine, champagne and Moutai from Hong Kong, etc., and some prices can be exchanged for a small half house in Hong Kong.

For Chen Zhiwen, even if he drinks a few houses a day, he can't keep up with the growth rate of his wealth by doing nothing now, but he is not addicted to alcohol, he just enjoys it with guests and friends when he needs it.

"I can't afford it." Henry Morgan said with a smile.

"You don't have to buy a 747, you can buy a Boeing 737, add an auxiliary fuel tank and you can run around Europe and the United States, even if you go to Asia, you only need to add a reason in the middle, but it's much stronger than those Gulfstream or something." Chen Zhiwen said.

"I'm a little moved by what you say." Henry Morgan said with a smile that he used to do first class, and occasionally made very small short-haul private jets, and he didn't feel much about the demand in this area.

But now that I am sitting on this luxury Boeing 747, I immediately feel that this is life.

"HSBC's deal, according to our ratio, you can also net at least $50 million, and you can get the 737 plus decoration for half of the time, and the other half of the aircraft is more than enough." Chen Zhiwen shrugged and said.

"That's not going to work." Henry Morgan shook his head and said: "This matter is actually your idea, your idea, I just provide a little identity, and a little money, no matter how much I should share, I only need half of it." ”

"You're the least greedy capitalist I've ever met." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said.

"That's because I only take what I deserve, and only then can there be long-term cooperation, isn't it?" Henry Morgan said with a shrug.

"That's right, that's good, Costco is ready to accept financing, I can prepare 1 percentage point for you, you estimate that you will have to prepare about 30 million US dollars, this business, do you want to invest in it?" Chen Zhiwen asked with a smile.

"Costco, this is a piece of fat, but I'm afraid I can't eat it alone, so I'll give half of it, and the other half, I'll invite some friends from my family, how about it?" It's also good for Costco, and many of these people in my family have a lot of influence in politics, and even if the president changes, they won't be affected. Henry Morgan said.

"Yes, no problem." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, it seems that Henry Morgan wants to use his own resources to expand his position in the family, but this is a win-win situation, and it is also good for himself.

"Okay, let's talk about the plane separately, I will have the opportunity to sit on yours in the future, and my funds are still ready to invest something." Henry Morgan said with a smile.

"That's okay, but you don't have to be too provincial, we live just to enjoy, you have three states in the United States that distribute Midea game consoles, and now the handheld consoles have just begun, and the home game consoles that are about to be launched are the big ones." Chen Zhiwen said with a chuckle.

Although he is in the United States during this time, he can also rely on the satellite phone remote control to understand the situation in Hong Kong, the red and white machine has been tested many times, ready to be sold in Hong Kong and Wanwan first, as long as there is no problem, and then the production capacity is increased, it is ready to be sold in the United States.

"That's really exciting." Henry Morgan nodded, looked at the large green space under the window, and said, "We should be almost there, we will land at Fort Worth Airport, and we will be there in another two hours by car." ”

"This Wag farm, I looked at the information, they are actually willing to sell, it's a little strange, the international food price has risen a lot recently, right? Isn't it time to make money? Chen Zhiwen flipped through the information on the table and asked again.

This time, the group came to Texas because they were told that a super large farm here was interested in selling.

As early as last year, Chen Zhiwen entrusted an intermediary in the United States to find a suitable large-scale farm, and after more than a year of intermediary communication, the owner of this Wag farm seemed to have a plan to sell, so Chen Zhiwen rushed over with Henry Morgan.

"The international food price is high, but this high price is the sales terminal, because the price of oil has risen, the transportation cost of snacks has also increased a lot, the wool is out of the sheep, and finally, to the farm, although the price has also increased a little, but not much, and the current inflation is so strong, the interest rate is so high, most farms are dependent on loans to survive, this high interest, even if the price of food rises sharply, this interest can not stop this interest, so, when the price of grain is high, many farms in the United States can only sell at a low price." Henry Morgan said with a smile.

"It seems that the eternal winner is the bank." Chen Zhiwen said with a light smile that he had long heard that most of the farms in the United States were controlled by banks, and the reason for this was that large-scale planting required costs, especially the initial investment costs, and even if some farms did not owe money, but the bad weather in a certain year was enough to force farmers to ask the bank for help.

Then there is the contract trap, the farmer has no ability to sell the grain, and can only rely on the grain middlemen who control the channel, such as the more famous ABCD four major grain merchants in later generations, these grain merchants lock the contract in advance, which can be regarded as giving some farmers a guarantee, but once there is a problem, the unlucky must still be the vulnerable group.

"The agricultural cultivation of Wag Farm is not very large, mainly relying on cattle and a small amount of oil extraction, but what we know is that they are very indebted, and the Wag family has been selling other properties in exchange for commercial loans, but we don't know how much their family owes, and we can't find out how many banks are involved." Henry Morgan said.

"That's not bad." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.

With Boeing 747 as a private jet, this is also an incredible thing for the dispatch of American airports, Fort Worth's dispatch after many confirmations, arranged for this large plane to land, and led to a dedicated VIP channel, to have such a plane, the airport people know that it must be a big shot.

However, the "big man" did not communicate with them, and after a few polite words, he left.

After another two hours of travel, they finally arrived at their destination – Wag Farm.

This is one of the largest farms in the world, and it is also one of the most valuable farms, some larger than it, such as some in Australia, the development value is far less than it, can only be used to grow some potatoes or wild cattle and sheep, and even many are still in the Gobi region, not even much grass.

For their group, there were naturally people here to greet them, and they saw several middle-aged white men wearing short-sleeved denim, waiting in front of a manor.

The car stopped at the door, and Henry Morgan, Chen Zhiwen and a group of bodyguards got down.

"Hello Mr. Morgan, this must be Mr. Chen." A man in the lead came over and said, "Welcome to Wag Farm, I'm Dan, the farmer here. Wag, these are my family."

"Hello, Mr. Wag." Chen Zhiwen shook hands politely, but he felt that the force in the other party's hand was very large, which was not intentional, maybe this force was often used to it.

"Just call me Dan." Danvag smiled and said, "Several, please come in first, this is one of the manors on our farm. ”

Henry Morgan looked at the magnificent manor in front of him and asked, "How many manors are there on this farm?" ”

"More than a dozen buildings, posted in different places on the farm, mainly because our farm is too big, there are fields and rivers in the middle, and the road is not as good as the highway, if you drive, it takes more than an hour from east to west, and there are more manors, and it is more convenient for daily living." Danwag said with a smile.

"I see that the information shows that this farm has 500,000 acres?" Henry Morgan asked as he walked.

"511,500 acres, to be exact." Danwag explained with a smile.

"That's a big area." Henry Morgan said with a smile.

Chen Zhiwen behind him couldn't help but have the same idea in his heart, one acre used by Americans is almost 6 acres, and 500,000 acres is 3 million acres, almost 2,000 square kilometers.

This is a real super farm, the size of which is rare in the world, equivalent to the area of 2 Hong Kong, or 1.3 Yenching City, and the small farm he bought in Brazil is a little larger than Hong Kong Island (80 square kilometers, not Hong Kong).

The most important thing is that this farm has enough water rights, several rivers pass through this farm, as long as the water is not pumped outrageously, no one cares, and this place has been run by the Wag family for a hundred years, and many of the infrastructure is very perfect, in the information I saw before, it shows that this farm is mainly cattle grazing, with more than 10,000 beef cattle, and its own slaughterhouse, a very small area, growing corn, and other places, most of which are empty, because the Wag family has no ability to develop.

After some small talk, Chen Zhiwen learned that the area of this manor is more than 50,000 square meters, surrounded by iron railings and barbed wire, avoiding the threat of possible predators, and the interior is a variety of green trees, gardens, and a swimming pool comparable to the Olympic level at the back.

There is basically no land price here, and several other estates are not as big as this, but they are not small, and there are many more, which are basically for the long-term workers on the farm.

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Morgan, it's 3 o'clock in the afternoon, why don't we go hunting?" Shan Wag said with a smile: "I know that the two of you must have compensated for all kinds of delicacies, but the prey hunted in the wild and then barbecued in the wild, shouldn't have you tried it?" ”

"No, what animals are we hunting?" Chen Zhiwen asked with some interest.

"We have some deer, sheep, pheasants, geese and the like on our farm, as long as they are not allowed by law, they can hunt, and a few people are basically assured that there are some small wolves on the farm at most, and they will not pose any threat to us." Danwag said.

"Okay, then let's try." Henry Morgan also seems to be interested.

The scenery of Wag Farm is indeed beautiful, and this season, thousands of swans of unknown species gather on the rivers and lakes in the middle to eat fish.

"I originally planned to turn this place into a large fishing ground, but then I calculated that the investment was too big and there were too many birds eating fish, so I didn't do it." After getting off the helicopter, Wag said after taking Chen Zhiwen and his party to the lake.

"It's a beautiful scenery, and if it attracts tourists, it's also good." Chen Zhiwen said.

"No, tourists will only turn this place into a garbage dump, do not overestimate the quality of ordinary people." Danwag shook his head and said, "There will be a lot of animals around the lake, and we can hunt here. ”

With that, he prepared his shotgun, and as he had predicted, a herd of antelopes soon came, and Danwag was very good at marksmanship, and after two shots a few antelopes were poured, and the others were all scared away.

And his men also caught two pheasants nearby and a few fish from the lake, so a group of people started to barbecue.

Naturally, this kind of thing does not need to be done by the boss himself, and Danwag, Henry Morgan, and Chen Zhiwen came to a rock by the river.

"Mr. Chen, what do you think of my farm?" Danwag asked with a smile.

"It's very good, the environment is very good, I have to say, this farm has been made a paradise on earth by your family." Chen Zhiwen said with a light smile. The helicopter just flew over the farm for an hour, and basically saw the entire farm.

"In fact, our family's financial resources are not enough, and we are not able to develop this large piece of land, as long as we are willing to invest money, we can easily raise hundreds of thousands of cattle, a large number of corn, wheat and other crops here, and the oil fields in the northwest can also be developed more vigorously, if Mr. Chen is willing to invest, the return will definitely not be low." Danwat said with a smile.

"If there are hundreds of thousands of cattle, there will not be enough water here." Chen Zhiwen asked.

"The existing is not enough, but there is no shortage of rain in Texas, there are several rivers in our farm, and we can dig a few lakes to store water, so that the water is enough, in fact, this kind of program has been in our family for decades, but the funds are insufficient, and even we have invited relevant experts to guide us, and the design drawings are available, if Mr. Chen buys our farm, these will be given to you as a gift." Danwag said.

"And what is the price you want?" Chen Zhiwen asked with a smile, Texas is known as the hometown of cowboys, that is, since ancient times, animal husbandry has been developed, and there is basically no shortage of rain here, and therefore, the farms here are the best quality in the whole United States.

"$200 million." Danwag said.

"It's still too expensive." Chen Zhiwen shook his head and said.

"It's not cheap, but it's 500,000 acres, bigger than any city in the United States, and this one, you're the only owner here, and all the animals are yours, and this feeling is definitely not comparable to other businesses." Danwag smiled and said: "The price thing, let's make our respective intermediary fees worth it, today, we are mainly out to enjoy life, the barbecue of the young men is about to be ready, let's go and taste it together." ”

"Yes." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, the largest farm in the United States, with a transaction volume of hundreds of millions of dollars, comparable to a medium-sized listed company, they naturally hired a professional team to negotiate.

The venison after the barbecue has a unique flavor, and it is obvious that this group of people are connoisseurs who often barbecue, adding a variety of spices, while looking at the beautiful scenery, blowing the breeze, an absolute holy place for camping.

If you have children in the future, this place is twice as similar to Hong Kong, but it is very suitable for a vacation.

PS: About the family, it should actually be fast, but with the situation of this book, the current status of the protagonist, it will be very difficult to write about the heroine, and I have had experience before.

Writing that the star heroine was sprayed, because the drama is not worthy of the protagonist's status, which makes sense.

Writing about the rich second-generation heroine is still sprayed, saying that the protagonist doesn't need to rely on other people, why should he find another wealthy family?

wrote an original heroine, and was even more sprayed, saying that Hong Kong was reborn and actually wrote original.

I'm numb.,So I didn't write anything at the beginning of this book.,But the protagonist is also 30.,It's almost time to start a family.,Let me think about how to operate.,You can also give some advice.。
