America's Road To Wealth Chapter 91

  Chapter 91 Farm of 141 square kilometers

  Texas as a whole can be roughly divided into four main geographic regions.

   are West Bay Coastal Plains, Northern Central Plains, Great Plains, and Pecos.

  The terrain of this state is generally flat, and most of the places where the population gathers are plains.

  Tarrant County is located in the north of Texas and belongs to the northern central plain.

  There are no mountains in this kind of place, and Sunnis Mountain naturally cannot rise high.

  Sunness Mountain Farm is located in the south-central part of Tarrant County.

  It is said to be a mountain, but it is actually just a hill with an altitude of less than 200 meters.

  The farm is surrounded by the Sunny Mountains and has a vast area.

  Abel came back to Texas this time and came to Fort Worth. He didn't go home or go to his father first.

  It is for this farm.

   Simply put, he intends to buy Sunny Hill Farm.

   After buying it, he plans to use it as the training ground for Rock Security's headquarters in Texas.

   This is a huge piece of land with a total area of ​​141,883,593.4 square meters, which is 35,060 acres and 141 square kilometers.

   It is 6 times larger than Smith Farm, and it is the largest farm in Tarrant County.

   Its owner is a Florida businessman named Cade.

   This guy has been buying this farm for fifteen years.

   It has never been seriously operated.

  The entire farm has been deserted.

  Starting five years ago, Cade listed the farm for sale.

   Offer $125 million.

   At first glance, 141 square kilometers of land is only sold for 125 million, which seems not very expensive.

   But you know, this is Texas.

  The state with the largest land area in the United States is also the state with the most active land sales and transfers in the United States.

   According to Texas A&M University data.

  In 1999, Texas land transactions reached 5055 transactions, a total of 446,347 acres, a record, an increase of 23% over the previous year.

   Transaction volume reached US$1.3 billion, an increase of 15.6% over 1998

  More than 440,000 acres, nearly 1,800 square kilometers of land, were sold for $1.3 billion.

   Make a comparison,

  In Pengcheng in 2022, the combined area of ​​all jurisdictions is only 1997.47 square kilometers.

  In Texas, it can probably sell for 1.4-1.5 billion US dollars.

   Less than 10 billion RMB.

   It can only be said that the place occupied by Ah Chou is really unique.

  Texas is on Ah Chou's side, and it is the most blessed.

  The land of the Florida guy has been hung up for almost five years, and the initial price was 180 million US dollars.

  But no one cares about it all the time, and those who ask also think it is expensive.

   After several years, it was finally reduced to 125 million US dollars.

   But no one bought it.

  The reason is that Sunny Mountain Farm has more than 35,000 acres of land, and one-fifth of it has begun to desertify.

  This greatly reduced the land value of Sunny Mountain Farm.

  The underground here has been investigated again, and there are no minerals.

  Buy it for farm and ranch use only.

  But one-fifth of the land is desertified, so few farmers or agricultural companies are willing to buy it.

   Naturally, the price cannot be raised.

  But Abel is different. He mainly wants to provide security for the rock and find a training ground large enough.

  There is a certain amount of desertified land in the Sunny Mountains, which can just be used as training for desertification operations.

   In addition, the area is large enough, and it is not far from my own farm.

   It can be said that it is very suitable, so he went through an intermediary company.

  Abel asked David Jones, who had come to work at his side, to contact him.

   This piece of land is in the hands of the Florida guy, and it has become a hot commodity.

   Hearing that someone was willing to buy it, he even flew over from Florida.

  Abel made an appointment to meet him in Fort Worth, and then went to see the farm after the meeting.

  As long as the situation and price are right, he is willing to buy it.

  The negotiations went very smoothly, mainly because David Jones bargained with the other party.

  In fact, even this piece of land was found by David Jones.

  David has resigned from American Express and officially came to work with him.

  Through bargaining, the Florida guy finally sold the farm for $99 million.

  Afterwards, David also said that the other party still made a little money at this price.

  Fifteen years ago, when the Florida guy bought this land.

   It cost about 80 million U.S. dollars and paid land taxes for 15 years.

   There should still be several million dollars to be made.

  Abel doesn't care about these.

  He originally planned to take a look at the scene after the negotiation was over.

   But he didn't go to Alexander, but Alexander himself came up.

   "You want to buy Sunny Mountain?"

  As soon as we met, Alexander, who was wearing a suit and tie, frowned and asked.

  Abel was a little uncomfortable with Dad's appearance.

  Alexander in the past, dressed in denim all day long and dressed very casually.

  But he also knows that in the United States, the image of politicians is a very important part.

  Politicians need to make target voters feel that their choice is right and that the candidate they choose meets their psychological expectations.

  Even if it's just an image fit.

   "Yes. It is very cheap. It is six times larger than our farm, but it is less than 100 million." Abel responded with a smile.

   "100 million? 60 million I feel a loss.

   One-fifth of its land is desertified, and one-fifth of it is unsuitable for planting! "

  Alexander said angrily.

   "Let's not talk about this matter." Abel said with a smile, "Tell me about you, Dad.

  Looking at you, things are going well.

  Also, don't you want to introduce the gentleman behind? "

  Alexander didn't come alone, he was followed by two people.

  I don't know Abel, but he looks a little familiar. He is about the same age as Alexander, and his height and build are much shorter.

  The other one is younger and is an acquaintance of Abel.

  The name is Kane, about thirty years old, and looks powerful.

   Kane is the younger brother of John Jr., the son of John.

   also worked at Smith Farm before, and later came to work as a security guard at a mall in Fort Worth.

  Looking at this picture now, it seems that he has become his father's bodyguard or driver.

  Alexander still wanted to talk to his prodigal son about Sunny Mountain.

   Fortunately, Alexander also knows that this situation is not suitable now.

  Alexander stepped aside slightly, so that the smiling old white man behind him could face Abel directly.

   "This is Dwayne, my partner."

   "This is Abel, my son."

   "Hello." Abel smiled and stretched out his hand. No wonder he felt familiar. It turned out to be Dewayne, a member of the city of Fort Worth. This guy seemed to have visited his house several times before.

  Dwayne smiled and reached out to shake hands with him, "Ha, hello, Abel. I haven't seen you in a few years. You are taller and more handsome."

  Alexander is more than two meters tall, Abel is more than 1.9 meters tall, and Dwayne looks less than 1.8 meters tall.

   So compared to Dwyane, he's really tall.

   "Okay. We are all our own people, so there is no need to be so polite."

  Alexander spoke.

   "Sit down, Dwayne.

   Don't you want to talk to my son? Now he is in front of you. "
