Rural life in America

Chapter 64 Expansion
Christina was crazy with Xixi early in the morning, or she was dragged by Xixi to go crazy together; Zhang Hao could clearly feel that after a night of getting along, Xixi became closer to Christina Some.

Zhang Hao thinks this is very good, he is very happy to see such a scene happen.

I also have to admit that Christina and Xixi can get along very well, which is also an extremely important factor in maintaining this relationship.

Zhang Hao received a call and went out.

Because Zhang Hao got an opportunity to expand the ranch, his neighbor next door had the intention of selling the farm.

Zhang Hao is carefully calculating, and the area of ​​[-] acres is really a lot; this is nearly [-] acres of land, which is more than two times larger than Zhang Hao's pasture.If this piece of land is taken, Zhang Hao's ranch will also exceed one hundred acres, which can barely enter the area of ​​a medium-sized ranch, although it is only an entry-level ranch.

As for the price, it is also quite tangled. The quotations have reached 130 million US dollars, which is simply a rip-off!

Zhang Hao drove to Philip's house, chatted briefly, and started serious communication.

"I think such a price is unacceptable. If it can be worth 100 million US dollars, I will sign a contract with you immediately."

Philip shook his head directly and said: "I won't promise to sell the farm for 100 million US dollars. I don't have much financial pressure now. You know what I mean, I don't need to sell the land to live. I need a satisfactory price. A million dollars is simply too little.”

Haggling is a matter of course, and Zhang Hao continued: "You know, this is a farm, not a ranch. So if I buy it, I need to renovate it, which will be a big expense. I won't pay for it. It pays way too much in dollars, way above the market price."

Philip shrugged regretfully. He would definitely not agree to such a price; the price of 100 million US dollars is not a loss, but it is certain that he did not make any money. It is really not worthwhile.

In fact, Philip also has a little bit of thought, so naturally he is the young man Zai Yidao; if he has more than 100 million US dollars, then he can go to other places to buy a small ranch or start enjoying life directly.

The negotiation did not continue, so Zhang Hao could only leave depressedly; this is also expected, because everyone is planning for their own interests.

Driving on the road, Zhang Hao called Anderson; the neighbor next door had also attended a party hosted by Anderson before.This time I contacted Philip, and there was also a reason for Anderson's gossip.

"It failed, we couldn't agree on a price. You know, I don't want to shell out a lot of money, but he wants to make as much money as possible."

Anderson on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "I know he won't want to sell the farm at a low price, because his financial situation should be good. Hao, I have a proposal, but it will be difficult."

Hearing Xiange's elegance, Zhang Hao immediately said, "Brother, tell me your plan B. I know it's not an easy thing, but if we all put in the effort, we will all gain something."

Then Anderson said, "Remember Mr. Gibson? He has a small farm, but his children have never thought of coming back here. You know that Mr. Philip has no strong intention to sell the land, but I believe Gibson is willing. He The area of ​​his farm is not big enough, but I know there is a piece of land next to his ranch that will be put on the market."

Zhang Hao suddenly understood, one plus one equals two!

It doesn't matter that Gibson's farm is not big enough, but a farm that is connected to Gibson's farm is also intended to be sold;

Perhaps Anderson knew from the beginning that Philip did not have a strong intention to sell the farm. This was just a bait; and the real killer move was actually Gibson's farm.

Back home, Zhang Hao briefly talked about the acquisition with his parents; there was no rush for this matter, it was a big deal, so naturally it had to be discussed very seriously, and the details must be carefully considered.

After lunch, Zhang Hao set off again; he made an appointment with Anderson to go to Gibson's house together.

"If you can get them all to buy me the ranch, I'm willing to give you $[-] in consulting fees. Believe me, as long as you sign the contract, you can get the check."

Anderson, who was driving, didn't feel embarrassed. He worked so hard to help Zhang Hao thread the needle for these benefits.The relationship between him and Zhang Hao is just an ordinary neighbor, and even if they are close friends, they should be clearly distinguished in business.

"This is not a small number. I think I will try my best to persuade them to sell the land to you. Hao, can you tell me the bottom line of the price?"

Zhang Hao thought for a while, and then said: "The market price, I am willing to take their land at the market price."

Anderson immediately shook his head and said, "You may need to increase the price a bit. You know, Mr. Gibson does not have such a strong intention to sell the land. You need to show some sincerity, so that we can guarantee success."

The two of them were also at war in the car, haggling constantly.

When he arrived at Gibson's farm, Zhang Hao began to investigate seriously; although he didn't know much about the land, he could get a general idea of ​​the situation.I also took a look at the piece of land connected to the Gibson family farm, and I feel quite satisfied.

Now it depends on what Gibson means. The farm next door is about to be listed, and the market price is basically no problem; but Gibson is different. His farm can be sold or not. If it is not higher than the market price, it will definitely not be born.

It was also because Gibson could see that Zhang Hao wanted to expand the area of ​​the ranch. This was a very good opportunity, because the Longbow Ranch needed to pass through his land if it wanted to expand to the outside world.

Negotiating with Gibson and the others, riding with Christina, fishing, playing games and boating with Xixi, the small days are still very nourishing.

The acquisition of land is also progressing relatively smoothly.

The approximate price has been negotiated, and now there are various inspections; checking the property rights of the land and checking the quality of the soil.This all takes time, and it also requires quite a professional level.

Zhang Hao was looking forward to it. Although he was busy for a week, he looked forward to it when he saw the inspection report.

The two small farms add up to 94 acres. If the acquisition is successful, the Longbow Ranch will exceed 750 acres, which is more than [-] acres!
The price is also quite expensive. The two small farms combined will cost Zhang Hao 140 million US dollars, taking out more than half of the money in Zhang Hao's bank account, but the money is spent willingly.

Although Christina has gone back to work, Zhang Hao still sent her an email; although a lawyer drafted the contract for this acquisition, but his girlfriend is an assistant lawyer, so we should respect his girlfriend's profession no matter what.

Christina quickly called and told Zhang Hao that there was no problem with the contract and he could sign it directly.

Sign it, and sign it immediately; thinking about how my ranch will reach a little over a hundred acres, I'm still a little excited when I think about it.

Successfully connecting small pieces of land together, Zhang Hao has also established a medium-sized ranch.

Although the two small farms still need to undergo some transformation before they can become pastures, it doesn't matter; with the carrier of land, there is nothing to worry about!
A lot of money was spent, but Zhang Hao was very happy; because his ranch has embarked on a rapid development path, because this is a great opportunity.

Greg, an old cowboy, is very satisfied with the expansion of the ranch, and feels that the opportunity for the boss to buy the land is also great.

"Boss, your deal is really great. I know you will leave some land for horse farms, but we will plant pasture in other places. Although it is autumn, we can use this time to turn over Plow, and the grass will grow in spring."

Zhang Hao said a little nervously: "This is indeed a very good node. The only pity is that these pastures will take a year or two to fully mature. But it doesn't matter, we have already started to move towards a large pasture. "

Seeing that the boss was very happy, Greg also said directly, "Boss, since the ranch is going to expand, the next work will be doubled. I think we may need to hire a cowboy."

Zhang Hao nodded. He knew that Greg wanted to be lazy, but it was also the actual situation. "Okay, do you have any recommendations?"

Glancing at Zhang Hao, Greg tentatively asked, "How is my son Stan? Although he is doing odd jobs now, he is no stranger to working on a ranch."

Well, Zhang Hao understood what Greg meant; it doesn't matter if you think about it, the old guy Greg is actually quite reliable.

But some things have to be clear, "Well, if he wants to come to the ranch, it will be great. I will give him $450 a week, there will be some increases, and a long-term contract. But, he has to prove that he can stay here. .”

Greg immediately patted his chest in reassurance.

In fact, the world is the same, poor parents all over the world.

Although Greg's son is not close to him, Greg will still try his best to take care of his son, even if his son has already married, married and had children.

As for what Laomei said, children will be independent when they grow up, and they will earn college tuition by themselves when they are children, just listen to it, and don't believe it too much!
