Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 501 The old grudge

Fortunately, Tucker Ranch does not have any foreign debt and has even been making money in the past few years. It is considered a high-quality asset.

Taking inventory of a ranch’s assets isn’t difficult.

Moreover, Chu Xiangqian was not too demanding about the existing real estate, agricultural tools, vehicles, horses, cattle and other assets of the ranch and insisted on counting them all.

To put it bluntly, the most valuable thing about a ranch is the land and cattle.

Moreover, if the premium is so high to acquire the marginal assets, even if Chu Xiangqian counts clearly how much they are worth, it is meaningless whether he has to offset the depreciation expenses.

This made everyone in Yongdao secretly doubt whether Chu Xiangqian was having an affair with Maria.

At the same time, he is both envious and jealous of Maria, the newly minted millionaire.

But take a closer look at Maria's appearance. Although this woman is tall, she is not very beautiful.

But after watching more, I still feel that Maria is actually quite beautiful.

At least in the eyes of Europeans and Americans, it fits their aesthetics very well.

As for the figure, it is probably due to riding horses all year round. Although the peak is not big enough to be considered protruding, the long legs and slender waist are still very eye-catching.

The only drawback is that the frame is a bit big.

Chu Xiangqian felt that Maria's shoulders were not much narrower than his own.

However, when paired with a cowboy outfit and a cowboy hat, and a revolver slung around her waist, she is very intimidating and at the same time makes people feel that the wildness in her body is very attractive.

Moreover, Maria Tucker was not a show-off. Simon secretly told Chu Xiangqian that this woman was very good at fighting.

Four or five years ago, at a rodeo in a small town, he broke the nose of a provocative cowboy with his bare hands.

Then, together with the cowboys from Tucker Ranch, they beat down all the dozen cowboys on the other side.

Afterwards, the two sides broke out more than once, retaliating and counter-retaliating.

I heard that guns were also used.

But in the end, I don’t know how Maria managed to do this, but if you think about it, you know that since the gun was used, one party must have given in or surrendered.

Now that Maria is fine, she will definitely win.

It was also because of this that the father of the former rancher of Alissa Ranch and some people who were also eyeing Tucker Ranch began to worry about Maria's counter-retaliation.

To put it bluntly, if you really piss her off, she will have a real fight with you.

Or just take advantage of it.

At 6:[-] in the evening, with Yongdao's lawyer explaining every word and every sentence, Maria confirmed that there was no problem with the contract, smiled and said to Chu Qianqian, "BOSS, the only question now is, will you protect me in the future?" Is your safety and property safe?”

Chu shrugged forward and said with a smile, "To me, $240 million is just a profit from a business.

I was lucky this year. In just 10 months, I could buy ten Tucker Ranches with the money I earned. "

The few lawyers at Yongdao who were specially responsible for serving Chu Xiangqian didn't think it was a big deal. After all, Chu Xiangqian bought the ranch, shares in Universal Studios and the Asian franchise of Universal Studios.

He also invested in the filming of Roman Holiday, and co-produced the musical "Millie" with American music and Decca Records. The total investment was almost 2 million US dollars.

Coopers & Partners, which is responsible for the contracts and legal consultation for these projects, naturally knows how rich Chu Xiangqian is.

What makes Yongdao people envious the most is that Margaret clearly knows that Chu Xiangqian has other women, but she still loves him.

However, when they thought of Chu Xiangqian asking Margaret to buy a Boeing 707 as a private jet for the two of them, several lawyers from Cooperstown as legal advisors felt that it was wrong.

Faced with a man who is willing to spend 300 million US dollars to buy a private jet, probably no woman will let him go.

Even if this person is the princess of Ying Kingdom.

Coupled with the relationship between Chu Xiangqian and Norton, the grandson of the Mountbatten family, Yongdao, who is ranked among the top two in England, will not think about how to plot against him.

If it were an accounting firm in the United States, it would be really hard to say.

Of course, whether the responsible lawyers and accountants will have any objections depends on whether Chu Xiangqian is like Tyson, who foolishly handed over all his money to the agent.

As long as the employer is smart and vigilant, and the lawyer or agent wants to do something wrong, it is actually not that easy.

Simply asking another law firm or accounting firm to review part of the accounts or act as a supervisor can avoid many accidents.

If the employer is more diligent and smart, he can do this himself.

Auditing accounts has long been no problem for Chu Xiangqian.

Even at least half of his money is in the Novice Village warehouse, and the rest is not placed in a bank.

Moreover, the purpose of investing in Standard Chartered and Hang Seng is not to put eggs in one basket.

Coupled with the existence of offshore funds, it can be said that even Standard Chartered and Cooperstown only know part of Chu Xiangqian's wealth.

Even if he succeeds in coveting his money, Chu Xiangqian will only lose part of it.

The subsequent revenge will not only have enough money to take revenge, but the method will definitely be to kill people, and will also in turn take back all the capital and profits of those who are greedy for his money.

Maria heard Chu Xiangqian say that the money earned in 10 months could buy 10 Tucker Ranches.

I silently calculated in my mind and immediately whispered 'God'.

Now I feel completely relieved. At the same time, the biggest advantage a man has in attracting women is, to put it bluntly, wealth.

If he were more handsome and stronger, Maria felt that she would be willing to trade against him.

And the new boss fully meets these conditions.

When Chu Qianqian saw Maria looking at him, his eyes slowly became as gentle as water.

He couldn't help but roll his eyes.

But if it's just a friendly match to solve some physical problems, considering that Maria looks pretty good, has a great figure, and has a wild taste, it's still okay.

This is the benefit of marrying Xiao Laner.

If she were to marry Margaret, the price for cheating would probably be half of her wealth given to Margaret.

And Chu Xiangqian is now a Hong Kong Islander. Once he goes to court, Margaret will most likely win the divorce case.

But after marrying Xiao Laner, without the off-site influence, Hong Kong still favors men in this regard, even 30 or [-] years later.

Even in the 90s, when a rich wife divorced her husband, who was worth dozens or tens of billions, it was pretty good to get 10% of the property, let alone half.

What's more, the two sides sit down and talk, and just take away a few hundred million.

The most seems to have only received 10 billion, but after the divorce, although they were rich, their status plummeted.

This is often what many rich wives worry about the most.

Moreover, the social atmosphere of Hong Kong Island has always been a combination of Chinese and Western elements.

Public opinion is naturally against marital infidelity, but the public is very receptive to this kind of thing. They even think that rich people don't have many women, and they will doubt whether there is something wrong with that person.

The most exaggerated thing is that there is a rich man named Zhao. He is the groom every month, and he changes 10 every day.Finally, I needed a kidney transplant.

However, this kind of product that does not look at quality but only quantity is considered unique.

But in the eyes of others, she is actually a beauty if she really shows it.

In the final analysis, the so-called quality is nothing more than the blessing of fame.That's why there are so many rich people and rich second generations looking for celebrities.

Even Chu Qianqian, a reborn person, had his thoughts moved when he saw Feifei, the Fairy Zixia in her previous life.

Later, as a Hong Kong student, Nie Xiaoqian was considered the dream girl of many people when they were young. It would be strange if they would let her go if they met her.
-
At around 7 o'clock in the evening, not only did all the cowboys from the two ranches come, but they also followed Simon's advice and brought all those with wives, children and girlfriends.

Fortunately, barbecue is also considered a favorite of many people. Maria called the town and found five or six waiters, and the scene immediately became orderly.

As for the children's mischief, Chu Xiangqian didn't care.

Many people are still wary of Chinese food at first, but then some people try it.

Orange chicken, Kung Pao chicken, Mapo tofu, and fried chicken nuggets specially made according to American tastes are instantly loved by most people.

Chu Xiangqian didn't even need to go out of his way to understand. Just by seeing that the chef added orange chicken, kung pao chicken, mapo tofu, Yangzhou fried rice and dumplings twice in a row, he knew that Americans really like these foods.

On the contrary, the fried chicken, even with ketchup, is still not as popular as other dishes.

This is probably because Americans themselves can actually make fried or roasted chicken.

Roasted turkey is eaten every Thanksgiving season. On weekdays, chicken nuggets and chicken are either fried or roasted, and I will indeed get tired of it.

When Chu Xiangqian was chatting with Simon, Sam and others, Maria walked over with a smile and said, "BOSS, I strongly recommend that you open a Chinese restaurant in a small town."

After that, he told the results of the survey he had just asked more than 20 people.

However, Chu Xiangqian felt that all 20 people said it was delicious. It was probably a small number of them who just didn't want to say that the food prepared by the boss was not delicious in front of Maria, the general manager of the large ranch.

But even if half of the people like it, one in 10 people really like it, which means that half of the people in the town will go to the restaurant to eat.

After Chu Qianqian thought for a while, he said with a smile, "It's simple. I have a chain restaurant in Hong Kong Island. I will mobilize a team of chefs from there and recruit a few waiters in the town. The restaurant will soon be open." It can be done.

But I don’t have time to take care of this matter.” After saying this, Chu Qianqian looked at Maria, “If you are interested, you can work part-time.Be the manager of a restaurant. "

Maria rolled her eyes at Chu Qianqian, but in her heart she longed to be this manager.

Standing next to Chu Qianqian, he started chattering about his plans for the future restaurant.

This made Xue Jinglan and Hong Kong students secretly angry.

After this foreign woman followed her man to the manor in the morning, she stuck to her man's side.

It's a pity that neither of them can understand English, and they don't even know what they are talking about. Even if they want to suspect this woman's ulterior motives, they can't find a reasonable reason.

The Hong Kong student hugged Xue Jinglan's arm and whispered, "Sister, we still have to learn English well so that we can help our senior brother in the future."

Xue Jinglan gritted her teeth and nodded seriously.

Ai Yuan, who was eavesdropping on the side, was also thinking silently in his heart that his eldest brother had already learned Cantonese and English within a year of going to Hong Kong Island. He was also from the Chu family, so there was no reason to be much worse than his eldest brother.
-
At around 9 p.m., a police car drove all the way outside the Mid-Levels Manor.

Will and Gao He, the two deputy police chiefs, were in a bad mood, and they could not help but complain to Chu Xiangqian.

But when they were stared at by more than 20 cowboys and dozens of family members, the two couldn't help but become cautious.

Only then did the two of them realize that so many people were relying on Chu Qianqian for a living, and anyone who wanted to harm him would have to face the hatred of dozens of people.

In addition, he is not short of money, and he is even willing to offer a reward of US$10 to find someone who plots against him.

In the afternoon, rumors spread that killing the leader of the cattle thieves cost 5 yuan and his accomplices cost 1 yuan. As long as Chu Xiangqian was willing, there were many people who would kill people for him for money.

Even among the cowboys in the ranch, at least half of them would go out with guns in the middle of the night to kill opponents for their boss.

When they thought that if they offended Chu Xiangqian, they might be shot in the dark, Will and Gao Heel instantly became honest.

Taking a deep breath, he walked up to Chu Qianqian with a smile, took off the cowboy hat on his head and said.

"SIR, there's news."

After speaking, Will looked at Maria and saw her puzzled expression before continuing, “At the rodeo a few years ago.

After a fight between Tucker Ranch and the three Marcus brothers, they soon understood the matter.

But little Marcus's nose was broken, and the three brothers did not get support from the ranchers where they worked, so they had no choice but to leave the town and go to Santa Barbara County to find work. "

After hearing this, Chu Xiangqian knew that Will's words were very tactful.

The real process was that there was a fight first and then a gunfight. When the three Marx brothers left the town, they must have been forced to leave at gunpoint by people from the Tucker Ranch.

Maria and Sam, the head cowboy of Tucker Ranch, felt their hearts pounding after hearing this.

Unexpectedly, someone was really taking revenge on Tucker Ranch for the cattle theft.

But for Chu Xiangqian, he didn't care who he was, what his purpose was, or what grievances he had.

Now that he has bought Tucker Ranch, the three Marcus brothers are targeting him.

Not to mention, these three brothers wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife.

He used frame-up methods to force Maria to have a grudge against him, or even become an enemy.

Then we can't let the three of them go.

When Chu Qianqian saw that Maria wanted to speak, he waved his hand to signal her to stop talking.

Then he looked at Will and said, "I don't want to care about the past, I only know that I am now the owner of Tucker Ranch."

People like Maria and Sam are my people. "

Not only did Maria and Sam feel relieved and grateful, but Simon, Will and Gao Gen also gave Chu Qianqian a thumbs up in their hearts.

Will then continued, "Unexpectedly, in a few years, the three brothers would become the project leaders of the Santa Barbara City Real Estate Company.

When I came back this time, I took a fancy to the land with hot springs to the east of Tucker Ranch.

And I asked my friends at the Santa Barbara Police Department to inquire about some things, and I heard that City Real Estate Company is discussing cooperation with people from the island country.

People from the island country like to soak in hot springs again when they go out. They should be planning to develop a hot spring resort east of Tucker Ranch. "

Chu nodded forward. Maybe the main customers of this resort are the islanders who come to the United States from the island country to travel.

With the economic development of the island country, the number of wealthy people has indeed gradually increased.

Once you have money, buying a house, a car, and traveling become inevitable.

Chu looked forward and said, "Where are the three Marcus brothers now?"
