Chapter 9: That's it!
"Hello, noble gentlemen, my name is Robbins Garcia, and I am temporarily managing this estate." Seeing Jiang Hai and Will Anthony get out of the car, the middle-aged man greeted him with a slightly far-fetched smile.
"Hello, my name is Jiang Hai, you can call me Jiang." I shook hands with the middle-aged man. They were a pair of powerful hands and covered with calluses. It seemed that this man should be a good player in doing things.
"Hello, Mr. Jiang, I understand your purpose, come with me!" I know that Jiang Hai is a Chinese and the other party speaks English slowly. However, although Jiang Hai did not have any chance to speak English before, after all, English must pass the Level 4 in college.
Only this is not easy to spend money, so he still knows a little. In addition, after he knew that he was going to come to the United States, he also studied English suddenly for a while in the imperial capital for the half month. I wonder if it was because of the dragon pattern, his mind was much smarter than before.
After half a month of sudden learning, and after arriving in the United States, he could probably understand it even if the other party spoke slowly.
This is also the reason why Will Anthony is not in a hurry to translate for Jiang Hai.
"Okay." Hearing Robbins Garcia's words, Jiang Hai nodded, and then he and Will Anthony followed the middle-aged man into the manor. In Europe, the United States, Canada, and Australia, the units used were similar to those in China, and they were only acres, but only acres. One acre is equal to six acres. Buying land here is also calculated based on acres.
Different land boundaries, land prices are naturally different. If you say Texas, Montana and other places, the price of this land is really not high. One acre is about a thousand dollars to two thousand dollars. If it is New Mexico, one acre of land is even less than one thousand dollars. Some sellers who are eager to make a move even press the land to five hundred and fifty dollars at the lowest point.
But this price is not to be thought about in the east. You should know that the land in the east is expensive, and there is no reason to say!
As for the Eastern Metropolitan Area, Massachusetts doesn’t have to think about it, let alone Boston.
According to the information Jiang Hai checked, in Winthrop County, Boston, the average land price here is $12,700 per acre. At the same price, you can buy six acres of land in Montana, but here it is only worth one acre.
According to the information, the land on the land alone has a total of 11,200 acres, including 9,200 acres of grazing areas and one acre of woodland. The trees planted in them are more than ten years old and belong to Jiang Hai. As long as Jiang Hai is willing, he can cut down at any time. However, when a blizzard or typhoon comes and suffers losses, don’t find a place to cry. The insurance company will not insure the manor without trees.
There is still a thousand acres, a huge wine estate, right behind the residential area, with three kinds of grapes planted, but no one has taken care of now. The land price here alone is $142.24 million, making it the largest manor nearby. Originally, the owner of this manor was originally the fourth largest investment company in the world, a large director with a lot of equity in Lehman Brothers Holdings. The company's market value at its peak was as high as $691 billion, but unfortunately, it was all in the mirror. Under the subprime mortgage crisis in 2008, the company's property shrank significantly and eventually declared bankruptcy.
It is also conceivable that the life of this major shareholder was originally worth tens of billions of dollars and turned into waste paper. In order to make up for his debts, he had to sell his fixed assets.
This manor was sold to Phillips for $150 million, but now Phillips is preparing to sell it to Jiang Hai for $280 million. These guys are really bad! Of course, Jiang Hai doesn't know this.
He only knew that it covers an area of 11,200 acres and a sea area of 720 square kilometers. With his pasture as the boundary, the coastal boundary line of the pasture is 4.2 kilometers in total, and it is an arc-shaped one. It runs along the coast for a circle, and there are eight stations that are so far away. However, compared with the one extending into the sea, it is far worse than the one extending into the sea, because the scope of his economic fishery is 171 kilometers. According to the standard algorithm for calculating the sea surface, there are also a total of 92 nautical miles. According to the faster boat now, you can go forward thirty knots per hour, and at the end of the journey, you have to drive for three hours. If you want to take a walk, this small sky basically has to be crossed on the boat. If Jiang Hai nods his head, it will be his.
"The land here is great, really great. I don't know the result of growing grain, but the growth of growing vegetables and pastures is very good. There are three water sources nearby. In addition to the Atlantic Ocean we can see, there are also short bays, and of course, there are indispensable freshwater resources. There is a Lake Lewis nearby, and there is a lot of groundwater in the lake, so the freshwater here is not missing at all. The owners here used to set up four water channels here, which can completely solve domestic water and irrigation." After entering the manor, Robbins-Garcia had already prepared three four-wheeled motorcycles at the door, which should also be called an all-terrain car.
Usually, I don’t let the road go, but in the pasture, it is one of the best transportation tools.
Jiang Hai had a driver's license before, but he had hardly driven a car. This is the first time he rode. Fortunately, Robbins took good care of Jiang Hai and didn't ride a lot. The three of them rode a small car and kept speeding on the vast grassland. While riding, Robbins-Garcia told Jiang Hai about the situation here.
"When the season comes, the most troublesome thing is to change the market, because the grass in one place has been gnawed, they have to leave seeds and transfer it to another pasture, but we don't have to worry at all. We can raise up to 200,000 cows here, but the cost of breeding is too high. We only need to raise 50,000 cows to transfer freely here, and we don't have to worry about the matter of forage. Even the hay you need to use in winter and fattening." Looking at Jiang Hai's curious look, Robbins continued to speak, and it can be seen that he is still very knowledgeable about this pasture. Looking at his proud look, he should have known this place very well before.
"Before 2008, the net profit of beef alone could reach 11 million US dollars. This is still the case if it is not fully grown. If it is fully grown, it will be at least tripled. The red wine estate over there can make the best red wine. The red wine here can even win prizes in international competitions. It is no problem to sell a bottle for dozens of US dollars. That thousand acres of wine production can make at least hundreds of thousands of bottles a year. Apart from the value of labor and raw materials, it can also make Franklin more than 5 million." Soon, everyone rode from the pasture to the wine planting area. The wine shelves here have been for many years, but unfortunately, there is nothing on it now. After passing the wine estate, it is just the woods. Logically speaking, these things are truly valuable.
After all, in China, trees are sold by the local meter, but it is obvious that there is a tree economic zone in the United States that specializes in selling trees. No one can sell such protective forests, so Robin Period-Garcia did not introduce them too much.
"The final introduction is the big head and fishing industry here. Before 2008, there was a 100-ton fishing boat here. It had an annual income of more than 20 million US dollars, but I don't know how much it is, but it should be more or less. In short, it has not been fishing here for seven years. I guess there will be a lot of underwater resources." After passing the woods, I came to the beach. As soon as I got to the beach, the smell of the sea penetrated into Jiang Hai's nasal cavity. Robbins also stopped here, stretched his waist in the sea breeze, and said to Jiang Hai. When the sea breeze blows, Jiang Hai's spirit has improved a little.
"Sir, although I know that there should be more than one person who said this to you, I still want to say that this place is really good. The land in the pasture is very good, and the water quality of the fishing ground is also excellent. The drive to Boston is only more than an hour. It is across the sea from Long Island in New York. You can reach Big Apple City in about three hours. There is no pollution nearby here. The air index is also available in the United States. I think you have been to Montana. The air there is very good, but it is filled with the smell of cow dung, and the here is sweet." It seems that Jiang Hai's satisfaction in his eyes, but Jiang Hai doesn't speak. Not only Will Anthony is not easy to deal with, but even Robbins Garcia was a little anxious and couldn't help saying to Jiang Hai.
Looking at the sea in front of him, Jiang Hai nodded gently. To be honest, he was quite satisfied with this place.
But he is indeed worth 330 million now, to be precise, 332 million US dollars. That 2 million was made after he sold other stones and crystals. If he really bought it, he would only have 50 million yuan left after spending 281 yuan. He would also feel a little trembling when he spent money so hard.
So although he was very satisfied with this place, he never nodded. He was also thinking whether this was worth it or not.
"Uh..." Just as Jiang Hai felt that the 280 million yuan was too expensive and wanted to think about it again, his chest suddenly became hot. In fact, he was not unfamiliar with this feeling. He quietly glanced at his chest and Jiang Hai nodded:
Chapter completed!
