Chapter 1211 Running for Governor

"Red Valley? Where is it?"

Ashley Beaton frowned. This was the first time she heard about such a bad place. Although as the Secretary of the Environment of California, she should have known the names of the place in her jurisdiction in principle, she usually pays more attention to San Francisco, Sacramento, or Los Angeles. As for this bullshit Red River Valley, she has never heard of it. In her impression, this place should be an unknown remote area.

As for why Kate emphasized such a place, there must be a reason. As for the reasons, then hehe, everyone who is an official knows it.

At this time, when Ashley asked, Kate laughed and took out a map from his bag. This map was the one that Jin Muchen had seen in David's country villa before, and the area of ​​the Red River Valley had been marked out.

When the map was unfolded in front of Ashley, Ashley basically understood what Kate meant.

The Red Valley area that Kate emphasized is located just between Santa Barbara and Bakersfield, just above the north of Los Angeles where birds do not shit.

Although this place in California is close to the Pacific Ocean, it is not very good if you really talk about the geographical environment. It is a little better than Nevada next to it, but not much. Only a small part of the land in the state is cultivated and mostly in desertification or desertification areas.

And this Red River Valley area is just an oasis between Santa Barbara and Bakersfield. She has a little impression of this place and should be considered as the few agricultural production bases in California.

Unexpectedly, these guys actually set their sights on this place. Ashley smiled in his heart. Although she was just a minister of the environment, she actually knew the tricks of asking her to plan this land.

Once the high-speed rail is required to pass here, the land will be valuable. As for why you don’t go to Santa Barbara or Bakersfield, the reason is very simple.

Although those two places cannot be compared with Los Angeles or San Francisco, they are also well-known as wealthy cities in California. If the high-speed rail passes, they must acquire land in these two places. If they want to acquire land from these two places, they will have to pay a very high price.

But if the high-speed rail line passes through the Red Valley area, it will be different. Although it is an important agricultural product export site in California and one of the few oasis, it is just a barren farm after all, and the price will be very cheap if the land is acquired here.

In addition, this land can be almost said to be a homeless land now, but its geographical location is actually very superior and is very suitable for a large population to live in.

If they take this land first, their Ministry of Environmental Protection will intervene in the planning of the high-speed rail line and classify this land as a must-pass place for high-speed rail. Then, just the government's land acquisition will allow them to make a fortune.

Although the price would definitely be very cheap if the land was acquired from here before, the premise was that if the land was still controlled by those mud legs who rode horses and sheep all day long, the government would definitely not compensate them too much money if it was acquired from them.

But if this land falls into the hands of these oligarchs, it would be another matter. At that time, the Treasury Department of the California government will definitely not dare to offend them easily, and will definitely be willing to pay several times the compensation for them.

Moreover, with the financial resources and capabilities of these people, if they set up a site here, they may develop it into a new town in the future. With their ability, they will have already made a lot of money just by doing real estate development.

These guys are really easy to plot. When I collected their bronze Buddha yesterday, I knew that they would definitely find this scene and would definitely not let me take advantage of it. As a result, this was not the case. They came to the door today and proposed a condition that they could not refuse at all.

Alas, the tycoons in the east are indeed not easy to mess with.

Ashley sighed in her heart. There was nothing she could do about it. In fact, as a qualified politician, she certainly knew the principle of taking money and eliminating disasters for others.

What's more, the other party not only gave him two bronze Buddhas, but also allowed his son to participate in the research and development project cooperation on the front of the high-speed rail locomotive. You must know that it was a long-lasting business.

If it is really done and settled in California, it can at least ensure that her son's family will still be a prominent family in California for the next hundred years.

As for the real estate business, although she also wanted to participate, she knew that in life, she had to know the principle of stopping whenever she wanted to get along. If you want to get involved in everything, then what you waited for in the end would definitely not be a good result.

So many thoughts were just in the flash, in his mind, and then he quickly made a decision.

"Okay, no problem. Kate, you will tell your boss when you go back, that I agree to this matter. After the California government passes the proposal for high-speed rail construction, it will definitely take a process, let our Ministry of Environmental Protection approve it. At that time, I will place this land in the name of protecting the environment in the name of protecting the environment."

As soon as Ashley said this, Kate on the opposite side was already smiling: "Thank you, Ashley. My boss will definitely remember you. By the way, Governor Brown's term is coming. My bosses are planning to find a new partner in the California area. I wonder if you are interested in Ashley?"

Kate first expressed his gratitude to Ashley, and then said lightly. Although she seemed to say something lightly, this sentence sounded like a thunder in Ashley's ears.

What does she mean? Are the East Coast tycoons planning to support themselves in running for governor?

When Ashley thought of this, his heart was pounding. Indeed, Brown's term is approaching now. As an old guy born in 1938, many people actually think that he should have abdicated and given up his virtuous position.

Since 2010, this guy has taken over as the former Terminator Governor and became the governor of California, he has been incredibly glorious in recent years. With the help of the clean energy and the slogan of cleaning California he promoted during his campaign, this old guy colluded with domestic energy giants and solar companies, but he made a lot of money.

With so many California families, everyone was drooling when they saw this old Brown doing well. However, although everyone was very interested in the old guy's routine of making money, not many people dared to reach out.

After all, this old Brown doesn't want him to look that way. He is a good old man. In fact, this guy is a very stupid guy.

Republicans hated him even more and gritted their teeth. You should know that California has always been the territory of the Democratic Party. In recent years, it has been severely suppressed by the Old Brown. Recently, it has been reported that Old Brown is in poor health and wants to resign and abdicate and give up the wise in recent times for a long time, but not many people on the Republican Party dare to take action.

After all, this place is different from the traditional American east. In the west, the states in the west, except for the more conservative and traditional areas like Utah and Texas in the south, most of the other places are the territory of the Democratic Party.

If you rashly participate in the election, you will not only lose badly, but also face a siege. So the Republican Party has not yet come up with a decent countermeasure.

But if Republicans really disdain for the throne of California governor, they must be farts. At least Ashley Beaton is very interested in this position.

Although she is a woman, she has very great political ambitions. On the other hand, who doesn’t know the reason why the Qing magistrate has been 100,000 silver dollars in the past three years?

If she could become the governor of California, then their Beaton family would be sure to usher in a golden age of explosion in the next few years. In fact, in several states in the western United States, which state's governor is not the children of the big families in those states take turns to do it?

Even if those families are unwilling to come forward in person, aren’t they also supporting several agents to come forward?

But the last time someone from their Beaton family was the governor, it seemed like it was decades ago.

Now Kate seemed to just say something in front of Ashley, and the old lady immediately bit the hook.

If Kate hadn't said this, she wouldn't have much thought about the position of governor. After all, it would be very difficult to rely on their family to run for governor. First of all, although their family is a local famous family, because of its lush branches and leaves, their family property is also very divided. Their family is definitely not the richest local one, so there will definitely be insufficient funds for the election.

Moreover, this is the traditional territory of the Elephant Party. If you emerge rashly without strong support at this time, it will easily cause a siege.

But if there is support from those giants on the East Coast, it will be different, because those guys are very rich first!
