Little Life on An American Ranch
Chapter 531: mystery
Chapter 531 Mystery
This time the shooting will be very high-end, not to mention anything else, just say that this place is much better than the small auditorium in the O’Brien Ranch in front.
This time I was in a five-star country resort ranch. Although there are no high-rise buildings, the golden light bursts into the face as soon as you enter, but the rough and gentle American country style, with the head of the prey hanging on the wall, and every day The photos of their hunters below each prey point to two words: forceful!
In addition to a dozen presidents, vice presidents, and senators, don’t mention anything. There are also many famous movie stars who have left their traces here. If you ask, the narrator next to you will be very arrogant. Let me tell you, getting a name mixed up on the wall here is a lot harder than getting a handprint on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Anyway, it’s very compelling! Can
But in this very high-standard place, a group of businessmen who smell like copper are ushered in.
At this moment, Jian Heng walked into the scene of domestic TV dramas in a trance. When it comes to the reception, how can he prove that the reception is high-quality, and find some foreign faces to come over to make up the number. Anyway, where the camera scans, there are blond hair Blue-eyed foreigners are fine, but there are not many Chinese faces.
As soon as I arrived at the venue today, I gave Jian Heng this feeling. Fortunately, Montana here does not require all attendees to dress formally, and Jian Heng's denim style is not too abrupt.
"Wow, Boss, this place is awesome! I didn't know there was such a place here before, look at how beautiful the little waiters here are!"
Jian Heng was listening, when suddenly he felt that someone pulled him back, and when he turned his head, he saw Zhang Jialiang looking straight at a girl.
"Isn't it embarrassing?" Jian Heng felt a little ashamed. This kid came in with him, but he kept staring at a waitress.
To say that this waitress is American-style beautiful, she can tell she is Asian at a glance, and she is not a second-generation Asian. Hook, a triangular face, with a little freckles hanging on the face, the body is hot if you don't look at the face, but if you let Jian Heng look at the face, he loses all interest.
"Pretty, I'm going." Zhang Jialiang put down Jian Heng's arm and began to straighten his clothes. While fiddling with it, he asked, "Boss, am I handsome?"
"Handsome, as long as you walk over, the girl's pants will fall off." Jian Heng continued to walk in after throwing down a sentence, leaving Zhang Jialiang, a little stallion in heat, to hook up with the waitress Yingsheng.
"nice-to-meet-you! my-name-is..." Jian Heng had just taken two steps when an Asian-looking man came over and greeted Jian Heng with a smile.
Jian Heng saw that it was difficult for this person to speak English, and immediately said: "Can you speak Chinese, let's talk in Chinese."
Jian Heng is not an American, and he can't tell the difference between an American and an East Asian, but Jian Heng can tell at a glance, this middle-aged tall fat man in his forties, he can tell at a glance that it must be this time One of the two Chinese rich men who came to bid for the auction didn't know whether this guy was a rare earth seller or a coal miner.
"I said I'm Chinese! Hello, Fan Junhui." The tall fat man immediately stretched out his big fat hand with a smile on his face. When shaking hands with Jian Heng, the fat man put his other hand on Jian Heng's. Elbow to express your enthusiasm.
When Jian Heng heard this self-reported family name, he said from the bottom of his heart: Boss Coal!
But he said politely: "Hello, hello, my surname is Jian, and there is one single character, simple Jane, and eternal Heng".
"It turns out Boss Jane is also interested in that piece of land." Fatty Fan Junhui obviously has researched the competitors in this area, and when he heard Jian Heng self-reported his family name, he understood that the person in front of him was also a competitor.
"I'm interested. With that piece of land, my several pieces can be connected together," Jian Heng said.
Fan Junhui laughed and said, "Then we are rivals today?"
"I'm mainly here to try my luck," Jian Heng said with a smile.
"Come on, I'll introduce you to another Chinese" and shouted at a short fat man four or five times away: "Old Joe!"
Hearing the greeting from this side, Humpty Humpty and the two people who were chatting apologized and walked over.
"What's your name? That's why you are a bad person. You are careless on any occasion, and it will affect the reputation of us Chinese!"
It is obvious that the two are very familiar, they are not competitors at all, they are like two old friends, needless to say, the person surnamed Qiao is the one who sells rare earths, after the introduction, it turned out to be Qiao Zhiming, Zhiming Group The boss of the company is also the brother-in-law of a leader in an inland province.
"This little brother is also interested in competing for that piece of land"
"Oh!?" Qiao Zhiming glanced at Jian Heng: "The little brother is also interested?"
"Ok!"
"Then our two old brothers who are too old will be sorry later," Qiao Zhiming said with a smile.
"I'm here to try my luck, take it if you're lucky, take it if you're not lucky" Jian Heng still said the same thing.
Fan Junhui reminded Qiao Zhiming with a smile and said: "This little brother has a few pieces of land next to him, and the combined area is quite a lot, right?"
"Not much, just a few hundred acres!" Jian Heng is honest here, anyway, he can't stand against the two fat guys, and in all likelihood, he won't be able to buy a beautiful border ranch.
"Do you intend to make a move?" Qiao Zhiming asked with a smile.
"Sell it?" Jian Heng felt quite surprised, and thought: "My buddy is here to photograph the ranch, not to sell the ranch."
Qiao Zhiming saw Jian Heng's puzzled face, and added another sentence: "The price is negotiable!"
"You'd better take this land from Mr. Fan, and then we can discuss my land at that time," Jian Heng said.
Qiao Zhiming heard it and said: "Okay, this is on point!"
After speaking, Qiao Zhiming took out a business card from his pocket, and handed it over with both hands: "This is my business card, if you need any help, you can call the number above."
Jian Heng took it with both hands, and saw a gold-plated business card with only a name and a phone number on it, and nothing else, but don't underestimate this business card, take it and sell it, it will be worth it anyway More than two thousand yuan, what is a local tyrant, this is a local tyrant.
"I really don't have any business card, how about I leave you a phone number?" Jian Heng said.
Qiao Zhiming didn't take it seriously, and nodded directly.
So Jian Heng asked Dai Ying to ask for two tissues, and wrote down his office phone number to them.
Seeing that Jian Heng's set of things was done without any shyness or embarrassment, both Qiao Zhiming and Fan Junhui understood that the young man in front of him was not an ordinary person, and he must have two coins in his pocket , not paupers.
The three of them had a preliminary understanding of each other, so they naturally sat together while waiting for the auction to start.
Originally, Jian Heng thought he could resist for a few rounds, but he didn't expect that the two fat guys didn't give him a chance at all. The auctioneer just called out the price, and Qiao Zhiming directly added 500,000 US dollars, let alone Jian Heng, even the other bidders were a little stunned, and a thought came to everyone's mind: I haven't seen such a vigorous upstart for a long time!
An American tried to resist and added a minimum bid of 10,000 US dollars to the bid. Who knew that before the words were finished, this person directly threw out another 500,000 US dollars.
No one can compete with Qiao Zhiming for this price, because at this price, you can buy a ranch with the same area and well-equipped irrigation in the plains of Montana. Unless it is confirmed that there is oil in the land, it will be very heroic if you want to make money by grazing at this price.
"Little brother?"
"I can't ask for this price anymore. Unless there is oil below, it will be a loss anyway." Jian Heng is very bachelor, surrender and admit defeat, there is no need to be angry with your own money because of this little anger, although it is easy to come It wasn't the wind either.
The beautiful border ranch was lost, and the remaining few were not caused by Jian Heng's interference, so Jian Heng stayed here for less than ten minutes before preparing to go home.
"Little brother"
As soon as he reached the door, Jian Heng saw Qiao Zhiming who had gone through the formalities and chased him out.
"The ranch in your hand is twice as expensive as brother's." Qiao Zhiming reported the names of several small ranches, and asked Jian Heng again.
"Twice?" Jian Heng hesitated a little.
"Well, three times, I'll pay three times the price, if it weren't for your small pastures that are right next to the river, I wouldn't have paid this price..." Qiao Zhiming said.
Jian Heng also understands, because Jian Heng would not buy it without that river, and the prices of these small pastures would have dropped by at least 30% without that river.
"Only at this price, if you don't sell it, I don't want it either."
"Cash?" Jian Heng asked.
"The bank's letter of credit will arrive immediately after the handover is completed!" Qiao Zhiming said.
Jian Heng immediately stretched out his hand after hearing this: "Happy cooperation!"
It would be a fool not to sell it for three times the price. With this money, I can eat a land twice the size of the pasture close to my own. Isn’t it out of my mind if I don’t sell it?
"Hurry up and cooperate, I will find a lawyer to talk to you tomorrow, and we will almost finalize this matter," Qiao Zhiming said.
Jian Heng is more afraid of having long nights and dreams than Qiao Zhiming now, and when he heard that he said that it will be finalized tomorrow, there is no one who is not happy, so he agreed directly.
Parting at the door, Jian Heng dragged Zhang Jialiang back to the ranch. Along the way, Jian Heng couldn't help thinking in his heart: Why did Qiao Zhiming buy the ranch in such a way? Could it be that there is really oil in the ground?
After thinking about it, I think it’s unlikely. People on the oil side don’t know about it. They are a domestic coal digger and rare earth digger.
" Jialiang, you said that one day suddenly someone bid to buy the small ranch I bought these days. What do you think is the reason? What is it about it? The location of the field or something?"
"There is oil!" Zhang Jialiang blurted out directly: "Besides the oil, I don't know any other reason for people to buy those lands at a price of three cents."
Jian Heng clicked his tongue: "I'm also surprised. Oil is unlikely. I always feel that there is some kind of conspiracy. Neither of them looks like a fool. They are both good and bad."
"By the way, how is your girl hooking up?" Jian Heng suddenly remembered that his name was Zhang Jialiang, this kid was sitting at the door in a daze.
"She's looking for Sugar Daddy!" Zhang Jialiang said angrily.
