Chapter 412 412 60 million build! Take a stake in the largest construction company in the United States!

   Then Wang Guanxi called Andrew and his daughter again and asked: "I plan to build the Crown Manor to enclose all the 30,000 acres of land."

  After all, such a large pasture requires a lot of animals. Wang Guanxi does not want these animals to run around, nor does he like others to break into his private estate. He needs a fence, a huge fence.

  "At the same time building a training base in a wild area, do you have any good construction company to recommend?"

  Little Andrew said: “It’s just fine to hire some workers in Ohio to install it. Just use wood and wire to make a fence directly through the machine.”

   "In the case of construction companies, there are many in Ohio, and construction companies can bid for them."

  The fence is very simple. A simple fence with barbed wire is OK. It can be done by hiring more than a dozen American farmers. There are robots specially installed with fences.

  But for the training base of the umbrella company, a specialized construction company is needed.

  Wang Guanxi said: "Little Andrew, I hope that the bases for the fence and the umbrella are made by professional builders."

  Old Andrew said: “Now the real estate market is collapsing, and many construction companies have a hard time. If you bid for them now, you will definitely save a lot of costs.”

  In fact, he also knows many senior executives of construction companies. Now the life is very difficult. The real estate industry in the United States is very sad.

Although he also wants to help his friends and give orders to his friends, it is the BOSS Wang Guanxi who helps him tide over the difficulties and does not need to file for bankruptcy. So now he wants to save money with the BOSS and let the BOSS trust him in his heart. Improve some.

  After all, their father and daughter can become the managers of Crown Ranch, and their salary is higher than his net income of running the ranch for a year. It is all for Jennifer Lawrence's sake. You must know the BOSS, and they are not familiar with their father and daughter.

  Now is the time to express yourself, do your best.

  Then Old Andrew continued: "Boss, I promise to minimize the cost of building a ranch."

  Wang Guanxi smiled and said: “I don’t need a bidding method. This bidding is inevitable because the builders’ profits are compressed and the quality is not rigorous.”

  This is my own large ranch, private domain, and turn it into a super huge manor. Some infrastructure needs to be built inside to facilitate management.

  After all, this 121 square kilometer pasture is extremely vast.

  And the mansion in the ranch still needs to be expanded.

  Wang Guanxi needs the most professional and best construction company to contract this project.

  Little Andrew said: "BOSS, then we can find four major construction companies in the United States!"

  There are four major builders in the United States, namely Horton House, Pulte House, Sandax House, and Rainer House.

  These four companies are well-known in the United States. However, the collapse of real estate and the economic crisis caused the four construction companies to suffer heavy losses and their share prices fell into mud.

  Now they should all be very happy to take this big order.

  Wang Guanxi asked: "Which builder is the best?"

  Old Andrew quickly said: “BOSS, the best construction company in the United States should belong to the American Holden House Company. Their quality should be the best, and the houses they sell are also the highest sales.”

  This construction company is one of the four largest real estate companies in the United States. It was established in 1978 and is headquartered in Texas.

  Although the company is the latest established among the four largest real estate companies in the United States, it has the fastest expansion. In just over 20 years, it has completed the path of the other three in 50 years.

  The company currently operates in 74 cities in 25 states in the United States.

  The founder of the company, Donald Horton, is even more rigorous and demanding to the extreme. He is well-known in the industry.

  "BOSS, the Horton family used to buy a lot of Angus cattle in my ranch, I know them"

  Wang Guanxi said: "Then call the Horton family, we want to build the best overall quality training base, manor villas, ranch facilities"

  The umbrella company headquarters will be placed in the wild area of ​​the ranch, the villas of the manor will also need to be expanded, and the infrastructure of the ranch will also need to be built. This is a huge order.

  Old Andrew felt that the Holden family would be very grateful to him this time, maybe they bought a lot of Angus cattle on the ranch.

  He immediately called Donald Horton, the founder of the Horton family.

  Although Old Andrew is just a small rancher, Donald Horton is the richest man in the United States. Speaking of which, the identity gap between the two is very large, but Donald Horton remembers him.

  The two had a sale and left a phone number. Although there has been no contact, people still have an impression.

  After the call was connected, Old Andrew hadn't spoken yet, and Donald Horton on the other end of the phone said, "Are you Mr. Andrew, the rancher in Ohio?"

   "I remember I bought 20 Angus cattle from your ranch when I was in Ohio!"

  In order to celebrate the construction workers in Ohio, the Horton House Company specially made 20 Angus cattle. They were bought at Andrew's ranch at the time. The memory is still fresh and everyone knows them.

  And then Andrew also bought a house built by the Horton House Company in Columbus.

  Speaking of which, Horton Housing Company made more money.

  You sell me 20 cows, and I will sell you a house in the city.

  Old Andrew didn’t talk too much about Angus, and said straightforwardly: "Mr. Horton, my boss intends to give your company a big order."

  When Donald Horton heard this, he was overjoyed, and now the real estate market is collapsing!

  The previously announced new home sales fell to the lowest level in history!

  Holden Housing Corporation’s market value has shrunk again.

  The current stock price is close to US$6 per share, and the market value is US$2.16 billion. He holds 13% of the equity and is now worth US$280 million, which is a huge loss in value.

  To know that in 2007, the company's market value was 10.8 billion US dollars, when he was worth more than 1.3 billion US dollars.

  Now he is at a loss. The Holden Housing Company needs to pay a lot of money every day, and the house cannot be sold. He is anxious.

In particular, the company’s shareholders put pressure on him and made him very annoying. Of course, he didn’t need to bother, because although he only holds 13% of Holden House’s equity, he has 10 votes per share due to the two-tier equity structure. The voting rights of the company have 60% of the voting rights in the company and firmly control the company.

  Although the company has the final say, but now the company is short of money, more orders, and customers who buy houses.

  I have a big order now, can I be upset?

   Then he asked: "Mr. Andrew, may I ask your boss?"

  Old Andrew quickly said: “Oh, the owner just became the largest rancher in Ohio and bought 30,000 acres of land. If you read the news, you should know this.”

  Donald Horton was suddenly surprised when he heard it.

  He also read the news, it was a sensation in the United States!

  A mysterious rich man bought a lot of land for $75 million!

  Don’t you know that this is an economic crisis?

  Real estate is falling, land prices are falling, he also bought 30,000 acres of land at a premium of 40%.

  This kind of operation is simply unbelievable for him.

  This mysterious rancher owns 30,000 acres of land and is still a 30-minute drive from Columbus.

  He feels that the future population of Columbus may change.

  Especially the current 30,000 mu of pasture requires a lot of construction, which is undoubtedly a huge order.

   Then he said, "Andrew, can I talk to your boss on the phone? I want to talk to him in person."

  "Okay, my boss, the new king" Old Andrew said briefly and handed the phone to Wang Guanxi.

  "Mr. Wang, hello"

  "Mr. Horton, hello"

  Donald Horton was shocked when he heard such a young voice on the phone!

  The largest rancher in Ohio is the new owner of Huntington Bank!

  Donald Horton sighed: “Mr. Wang, I didn’t expect you to be so young. It really shocked me. I didn’t expect the owner of Huntington Bank and the largest rancher in Ohio to be so young.”

  Wang Guanxi smiled and said; “Mr. Horton, it’s nothing, there are more young and rich people in the world.”

  Donald Horton smiled and said: "Mr. Wang, you are very rare as a rich man. The media say you are in finance?"

  "Finance is very profitable."

   "Well, yes" Wang Guanxi smiled and said: "It's just making a little money"

  Donald Horton: "You must be a financial genius, I have suffered a miserable loss in stocks"

  Wang Guanxi smiled and said; "Mr. Horton, you also started from scratch. Each has its own strengths."

   "Haha, that's the same." Donald Horton is a low-level fortune. He used to be a real estate salesman. At that time, he had only $3,000 in principal on hand, and he successfully persuaded the bank to loan him $30,000, and then set up his own company in 1978.

  The first house he built sold for $43,500.

  With the money, he quickly built two houses, and in this way, Donald Horton rolled the snowball bigger and bigger.

During   , his continuous mergers and acquisitions and continuous alliances made the company bigger and bigger.

  Although the shares are constantly being diluted, he owns 60% of the voting rights and firmly controls the company.

At this time, Wang Guanxi said: "This time I plan to build a headquarters base like the Blackwater Company in my Wangguan Ranch, and expand the manor house in the ranch, and then I will complete the infrastructure and put the entire Enclose the ranch to create a real private territory. I don’t want anything to invade”

  Donald Horton was so excited when he heard it. This is definitely a big deal, and it can be said to be a big project.

   "Mr. Wang, I am here at the Ford Motor Company headquarters. I will now take the team to Columbus. My company has a special private jet, which will be here soon!"

  Ford Motor Company is headquartered in Michigan, and Michigan is also next to Ohio, which will be there soon by plane.

"it is good!"

   Then Donald Horton bid farewell to the current head of the Ford family and drove off.

  At 8pm on February 3rd, Donald Horton, with his son Tom Horton and his team of engineers, came to Wang Guanxi’s ranch.

  Wang Guanxi specially arranged a sumptuous outdoor barbecue to entertain the Horton father and son.

   "Mr. Horton, please"

  "Okay, Mr. Wang" Donald Horton did not forget to introduce his son Tom Horton.

   "Mr. Wang, this is my son Tom Horton, currently working as a senior construction engineer at Horton House Company"

  Wang Guanxi: "Hello, Mr. Horton"

  "Mr. Wang, hello" Tom Horton was very kind.

   Then everyone took their seats, and the wine and food were delivered.

  I eat Angus beef.

  Many people must be very familiar with Angus cattle. It doesn’t matter if they are unfamiliar. Many people must know the marbled muscles.

Angus cattle is relatively famous all over the world. It belongs to the ancient small beef cattle breed. The black hornless cattle breed. The earliest Angus cattle came from the counties of Aberdeen, Angus and Kincardine in the United Kingdom. The place gets its name.

The first person in the world of Angus cattle was Scotsman Hugh Watson. Watson lives in Angus, Scotland. He is a very good person who chooses black hornless cattle. Called Angus.

  Watson has two famous cows, one male is called "Old Skip Class", whose original English name is OldJock, was born in 1842. The other mother was "Old Lazy Ni", her original English name was OldGranny. She was born in 1824 and lived 35 years old and gave birth to 29 calves.

  The vast majority of Angus cattle registered in the world are the offspring of these two cattle.

  In the world, most of the major cattle-raising countries raise Angus cattle, which is one of the main cattle breeds in the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, New Zealand and Argentina.

  In the total number of beef cattle in the United States, Angus cattle account for 1/3.

  Wang Guanxi’s pasture mainly raises the Angus cattle.

  Holden and his sons were full of praise. Even if the old Holden ate a piece of unbaked, he forcibly swallowed it.

   Then drink a lot of alcohol!

  Little Holden is the same.

  The father and son are very generous.

  Wang Guanxi, Luo Baowen, Zhang Xiaolei, Jennifer Lawrence, and Little Andrew are also delicious. This Angus beef is really delicious.

  The meat is juicy and tender, full of fragrant meat, mellow, mellow and chewy, enough to kill other ordinary beef.

  At this time, the little Horton who was eating meat asked: "Mr. Wang, is your umbrella company planning to build a training base like the Blackwater Company?"

  Wang Guanxi nodded: "Well, yes, I plan to build the headquarters of the umbrella company based on the base of Heishui Company headquarters, and there are also bases underground."

  “There are also manor villas that need to be expanded, and facilities need to be built underground.”

  "The entire ranch should also have good infrastructure and fences..." Wang Guanxi said a lot.

  Little Holden is a senior engineer. During a chat with Wang Guanxi, a blueprint was formed in his mind.

   "You eat first, I'll take someone to draw a blueprint first"

  Wang Guanxi and others were taken aback.

  "It’s okay, Mr. Horton, I won’t be in a hurry to do it tomorrow"

   "I have a lot of inspiration after drinking now, I am afraid I will forget when I wake up"

  After finishing talking, he took the team to go busy.

  The old Holden smiled and said: "Mr. Wang, he is just like that. When doing engineering design, he doesn't ask anything, he is fully committed."

  Wang Guanxi smiled and said: "Mr. Horton is an outstanding talent."

  Old Horton smiled and said, "I plan to train him well so that he can take over in the future!"

  Wang Guanxi said: "This time I plan to invest 50 million US dollars to build everything in the ranch. I hope you can build my private realm!"

  Old Horton promised: "Mr. Wang, you can rest assured, we will do our best for you!"

  Time passed quickly.

  The next day, February 4, Little Holden led the team to figure out the rough blueprint design model overnight.

  Wang Guanxi was very satisfied. He directly transferred 50 million US dollars from the No. 1 Fund to the Crown Trust Foundation, plus the previous 11 million US dollars, for a total of 61 million US dollars.

  Wang Guanxi said: "You will build another airstrip, helipad, and deepen the lower base. I am adding 10 million US dollars, totaling 60 million US dollars!"

  Holden and his son became even more excited!

  On the same day, the Houghton Housing Company's engineering and construction team in Columbus was called, and the construction will start on the same day!

  The remaining 1 million U.S. dollars of the Crown Trust Fund is the operating funds of the ranch. There were a lot of cattle, sheep, pigs, horses, chickens and ducks in the ranch, and many other agricultural products were also planted. .

  These are all from the ranch when the ranch was originally acquired!

  A large number of agricultural products will be sold soon, and the entire farm will have a lot of income.

  Of course it won’t be much. The cost of maintaining the ranch is still okay. Basically, Wang Guanxi does not need to worry about the operation of the ranch.

  And this one million US dollars will be used to buy some wild animals to stock.

  At this time, Old Holden's phone rang, and it was from Bill Ford, the head of the Ford family.

  The Ford Family Foundation holds shares in Holden House and intends to sell it.

  Old Holden is that Bill Ford is not going to sell for the time being. If it is sold now, the stock price will fall a lot, which is not good for his mortgage loan.

  The Ford Family Foundation is very short of money and needs to sell stocks. Now everyone is starting to be unhappy.

  After finishing the call, the old Horton complained: “This Ford family is short of money, so just sell the control of the Ford company that is about to face bankruptcy.”

Now the Ford Family Foundation holds 3.3% of the Ford Motor Company. Because of Ford’s double-tier equity design, the Ford family holds B shares, each with a lot of voting rights, holding 3.3% of the shares, but Controls 40% of Ford's voting rights.

  Other public shareholders hold A shares, which together can hold up to 60% of the voting rights.

  This Ford company has always been firmly in the hands of the Ford family.

  If the Ford family sells control of Ford, it will also sell a lot of money.

  "The Ford Foundation intends to sell my company's stock, I hope they will consider it again"

  Wang Guanxi came to be interested and said: "Old Mr. Horton, I plan to buy a stake in your Holden Housing Company. How many shares of Holden Housing Company does the Ford Family Fund intend to sell?”

  The stock price of this Holden House company is 7 US dollars per share, and the total share capital is 360 million shares. The market value is now 2.52 billion US dollars, and its city value will exceed 36 billion US dollars in the future.

   is the largest construction company by market capitalization in the United States.

  Now the investment is pretty good.

Ten times the    is also very good. When the real estate recovers, the daily dividends are also a lot. By then, the dividends can cover the expenses of the foundation.

  Old Horton suddenly said with some excitement: “Mr. Wang, your Ford Family Foundation owns 20 million shares of Horton Housing Corporation. If you want to buy it, you may need to buy it at the market price, and it will cost 140 million US dollars!”

  Wang Guanxi smiled and said: "No problem, you can inform the Ford Family Foundation."

  Then Old Horton called Bill Ford, the head of the Ford family.

  The other party also agreed to a price of 140 million U.S. dollars and sold 20 million shares of Holden Housing Corporation.

So Wang Guanxi personally chatted with Bill Ford, the head of the Ford family, Wang Guanxi asked tentatively: "Mr. Ford, are you interested in selling control of Ford? I am willing to buy your 3.3% Ford at a high price. Auto company B shares!"

  The Ford family only holds 3.3% of the Ford Motor Company, but the voting rights are 40%, and they firmly control the company. Wang Guanxi wants to build a consortium. He has a fancy to Ford Motor Company. After all, the world’s top 500!

  Although the proportion of buying and holding is small, Wang Guanxi controls a Fortune 500 company.

  But Ford Motor Company is the glory of the Ford family, and Bill Ford immediately rejected Wang Guanxi's purchase request.

  Wang Guanxi said: "I open 3 times the price!"

  Now Ford’s stock price has fallen into shit, with a market value of US$8 billion and a 3.3% stake. According to the market price, it is valued at US$264 million. Wang Guanxihua is three times the price, which is US$792 million.

  But Bill Ford still refused: "Mr. Wang, Ford Motor Company is the glory of our Ford family, I will not sell it!"

  When Ford Motor Company was valued at 32 billion U.S. dollars last year, his sister told him that she suggested selling the company's control rights, but he did not choose to sell it.

   Now that the market value has shrunk to $8 billion, it is even more impossible to sell control of Ford Motor Company.

  Wang Guanxi said regretfully; "Well, then, I will buy the stock of Holden House Company from your Ford Family Foundation!"

   Then Wang Guanxi transferred 40 million US dollars from the No. 1 Fund to the Wang Guan Charity Foundation, plus the previous 100 million US dollars, for a total of 140 million US dollars.

  At night, people from the Ford family came to Crown Manor!

  Bill Ford did not come, but his daughter, Alexandra Ford Ingrid, came here.

   for short, Ford Ingrid!

  Then everyone signed an agreement. The Crown Charity Foundation purchased 20 million shares of Holden House Company held by the Ford Foundation at a price of 140 million U.S. dollars.

  At this moment, Wang Guanxi’s Crown Charity Foundation has become a shareholder of the largest construction company in the United States, holding 5.5% of the shares!

  In the future, the market value of Holden Housing Company is as high as 36 billion U.S. dollars. It has already locked in a return of 1.85 billion U.S. dollars, not counting future dividends.

  "Miss Ford, we have a good cooperation"

  Ford Ingrid was shocked by Wang Guanxi's age, especially the handsome appearance, which really shocked her who has not graduated from university.

  She is a girl with both beauty and wisdom. She has a good background, good study, beautiful appearance, and full of superiority, but now her superiority is directly crushed by people of the same age, and she can't be superior.

  This is the first time I have seen such a boy. It’s amazing.

   Then she asked: "Are you the boss of Huntington Bank?"

  "Ohio's largest rancher?"
