Ryan was a little hesitant.
In fact, the mission of the inspection team had already been completed. As long as the land of Yellowstone Ranch was purchased, the project of 'New Las Vegas' could start.
But the difficulty lies here.
The three negotiations ended in failure. The price was 30% higher than the market, but it was still fruitless.
Ryan knew that Kud didn't have to stick to 'New Las Vegas'. As long as Kud wanted, he could develop 'New New York' and 'New Brooklyn' at any time.
Kud could give up the 'New Las Vegas' plan at any time, but this also meant that he would be abandoned if he was ineffective.
He was anxious, and many people were anxious too.
Once the 'New Las Vegas' was completed, it would bring huge economic benefits and perhaps change the economic structure of the entire city. Therefore, many people must be resentful of the Dutton family now.
Gnashing his teeth, Ryan leaned close to Jack's ear and told him his plan - retreat to advance.
It's very simple. If they leaked the news that the Dutton family was going to withdraw their investment because they refused to sell the land, someone would naturally solve this problem for them.
This is Montana. It's normal for several people to die in accidents every day.
"Bang!"
The wine glass smashed hard on the wooden table, and the wine in the glass spilled all over Lien's face, but he didn't dare to wipe it off.
Jack stared at Lien with a cold face, despising him in his heart. This thick-browed and big-eyed Lien was so cruel that he went straight to solve the Dutton.
"Don't mention this kind of thing again." Jack warned sternly.
The conference room was silent in an instant. In terms of age, Jack was much younger than everyone else present, but in terms of status, he was the oldest in the conference room.
"Stop the secret things and arrange someone to meet me at the hotel."
It was not until Jack left the conference room that Lien took out a tissue to clean the wine stains on his face.
Jack was not surprised that someone proposed such a plan.
In his previous life, he had seen more drastic measures.
Hindering someone from getting rich is like killing their parents.
If they really let Ryan do it, with new and old grudges, it is not difficult to imagine the fate of the Dutton family.
.....
"You want to see me?"
Feeling that a storm was coming, John was mobilizing everyone on the ranch to defend his home. Unexpectedly, he received a call from the governor, who was acting as a middleman, saying that the person behind the scenes wanted to talk to him.
Looking at his daughter Beth, who was following the team and hugging her younger brother, holding a shotgun and indignant, his eldest son Lee, who seemed tall and strong but was actually still a minor, was holding a shotgun and indignant.
Thinking that the three siblings had just lost their mother not long ago, John's eyes flashed with a trace of sadness.
The next morning.
John put on a cowboy hat, rode a horse, clamped his legs, and the horse galloped on the road. The roof of the ranch gradually disappeared from his sight.
Two bodyguards were searching John at the hotel entrance. Jack had specifically told them to be careful because he didn't want to be pointed at by a gun while talking.
Two rusty revolvers wereThe bodyguard stuffed it into his waist and confirmed that John had no offensive weapons after searching him before leading him into the hotel.
Pushing the door open, he saw a handsome young man sitting on the sofa drinking leisurely. John was a little stunned. He didn't expect the man behind the scenes to be so young.
After coming to his senses, John sat calmly opposite the young man and took the bottle on the table with his right hand.
"Hello, Mr. John, it's our first meeting. My name is Bob."
Jack quickly grabbed the bottle before John and handed it to the bodyguard behind him, signaling the bodyguard to pour the wine.
Using a pseudonym is also to prevent John from retaliating later. It's better to be careful.
"Using a plastic cup is a waste of such good whiskey." John sneered and picked up the cup and drank it all.
Jack didn't waste words. He just wanted to solve the problem here as soon as possible and then go home. He went straight to the point: "Mr. John, I have two options for you."
"First, I will buy all the land under your name for 60 million US dollars. You know, this price is already much higher than the market price."
John shook the glass in his hand, indicating that he wanted more wine, as if he was not interested in this plan at all.
"Second, I will exchange another ranch in Helena with you. The area is a little smaller than your current ranch. I will give you an additional 10 million US dollars as compensation, and you can also take the cattle and sheep in the ranch."
After Jack finished speaking, he asked the bodyguard behind him to pour wine for John.
The orange whiskey rippled in the glass.
John knew that the conditions offered by this young man named Bob were already very generous.
He didn't care about money. What he cared more about was home.
After generations of hard work and management, everyone in this city knew that Yellowstone Ranch was their home.
He was familiar with every plant and tree in the ranch. He and his children grew up on this ranch. His wife and ancestors were buried on this land. Everything he had was nurtured by the Yellowstone Ranch.
Jack quietly waited for a reply.
Whether it succeeded or not, he would not stay for a day longer.
If John did not agree, he would suggest that he and Kud give up the "New Las Vegas". They had no shortage of money, and there was no need to touch such a blood-curdling man. As for whether Kud would listen to him, that was none of his business.
John naturally did not know what Jack was thinking.
Until now, he had not figured out the origin of this young man. All he knew from inquiries from all sides was that this young man had a noble and mysterious identity.
Of course, he knew the result of a falling out. Such a person had too many means to take the ranch from him. He was not afraid of struggle or bloodshed, but his children were not.
As if he had made up his mind, John raised his head and drank the whiskey in the glass again.
When he put down the cup and looked up again, his eyes were red: "I choose the second option."
Jack breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and walked out. Lien, who was waiting at the door, passed by him holding the documents.
....
John Dutton's nameThe moment the document was signed, the 'New Las Vegas' was officially launched, and the investors who had already agreed on the deal boarded the plane to Montana.
At this time, Jack had already opened the door of the apartment with his bags.
"I'm back!!"
"Hey!!!"
Seeing Jack, everyone came forward and gave him a hug, and a strange face sat on the sofa and greeted him.
"Jack, let me introduce you, this is my girlfriend, Julie." Ross pulled his new girlfriend and said happily.
"Oh, Ross, you are so lucky to meet such a beautiful girlfriend on a business trip!"
Jack threw the gift in his hand to Rachel, who had been impatient for a long time.
Julie smiled shyly. It was the first time she was praised by such a handsome man.
"Oh my god!!"
Rachel and Monica exclaimed at the same time. They thought Jack had just brought some local specialties, but he took out a few soft furs from his bag.
"Hey! Jack!!"
Phoebe threw a piece of fur on the ground with disgust. She was a vegetarian and was particularly disgusted by these clothes made from animal corpses.
