Chapter 91 141 km2 farm

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

are the Western Gulf Coastal Plain, the North Central Plains, the Great Plains, and the Pecos.

The state's terrain is generally flat and most of the populated areas are plains.

Tarrant County is located in North Texas and is part of the North Central Plains.

There are no mountains in this place, the Sunni Mountain naturally cannot rise. Sunness Mountain Ranch is located in south-central Tarrant County.

It's called a mountain, but it's actually just a hill less than 200 meters high.

The farm is surrounded by the Sunny Mountains and covers a large area.

Abel this time returned to Texas and went to Fort Worth. He didn't go home or go see his father first. It's for this farm.

Simply put, he intends to buy Sunny Hill Farm.

After purchasing it, he planned to use it as a 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, equivalent to 35,060 acres and 141 square kilometers.

It is six times larger than the Smith Farm and 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 exploited.

The entire farm was abandoned.

Five years ago, Cade put the farm up for sale. Donate 125 million USD.

At first glance, 141 square kilometers of land was sold for only 125 million, which doesn't seem very expensive.

But you know, it's Texas.

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

According to data from Texas AandM University. In 1999, land transactions in Texas reached 5,055 transactions, totaling a record 446,347 acres, a 23 percent increase over the previous year.

Trading volume reached 1.3 billion USD, an increase of 15.6% compared to 1998.

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

Compare,

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

In Texas, it could sell for between $1.4 billion and $1.5 billion.

Under 10 billion RMB. It can only be said that the position that A Chau occupies is truly unique.

Texas sided with Ah Chou and it was the luckiest thing.

The Florida guy's land has been held for nearly 5 years and the original price is 180 million USD.

But people don't always care about it, and those who ask also think it's expensive.

After several years, this amount was finally reduced to US$125 million. But no one bought it.

The reason is that Sunny Mountain Farm owns more than 35,000 acres of land and 1/5 of it has begun to be abandoned.

This significantly reduces the value of Sunny Mountain Farm's land.

The ground here has been re-surveyed 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 agribusinesses are willing to buy it.

Of course the price cannot be increased.

But Abel is different. He mainly wanted to ensure the safety of the rock and find a large enough training ground.

There is a certain amount of uncultivated land in the Sunny Mountains, which can simply be used as a training ground for desertification operations. Furthermore, this area is quite large and not far from my farm.

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

Abel asked David Jones, who came to work with him, to contact him.

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

Hearing that there was someone willing to buy it, he even came from Florida. Abel arranged to meet him in Fort Worth, then visited the farm after the meeting.

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

The negotiations went very well, mainly because David Jones negotiated with the other side.

In fact, even this land was discovered by David Jones.

David resigned from American Express and officially came to work with them. Through negotiations, the guy from Florida finally sold the farm for $99 million.

Then David also said that at this price, the other side still made some money.

Fifteen years ago a guy from Florida bought this land.

It costs about $80 million and pays property taxes for 15 years.

It's still possible to win a few million dollars. Abel doesn't care.

He initially planned to review the scene after the negotiations were completed.

But he did not come to see Alexander, but Alexander himself came.

"Want to buy Sunny Mountain?"

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

Abel was a bit uncomfortable with his father's appearance. Alexander used to wear denim all day and dressed very simply.

But he also knows that in America, the image of politicians plays a very important role.

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

Even if it's just an image adaptation.

"Correct. It's very cheap. It's six times bigger than our farm but less than 100 million. » Abel smiled in response.

"100 millions? 60 million, I feel disappointed.

One-fifth of its land is desertified and one-fifth is unsuitable for farming! "

» Alexander said angrily. "Let's not talk about this matter." Abel smiled and said: "Tell me about dad.

Looking at you, everything is fine.

Also, don't you want to introduce the man in the background? "

Alexander did not come alone but was accompanied by two people.

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

The other was younger and knew Abel.

His name is Kane, about 30 years old, looks very strong.

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

Previously also worked at Smith Farm, then went to work as a security guard at a Fort Worth shopping center. Looking at this photo now it seems like he has become his father's bodyguard or driver.

Alexander always wanted to tell his prodigal son about Sunny Mountain.

Fortunately, Alexandre also knows that this current situation is not suitable for him.

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."

"Good morning." Abel smiled and held out his hand. No wonder it feels familiar. Turns out it was Fort Worth City Council member Devine. This guy seemed to have visited her house many times before.

Dwayne smiled and held out his hand: "Ha, hello, Abel. I haven't seen you for several years. You are taller and more beautiful."

Alexander is over two meters tall, Abel is over 1.9 meters tall and Dwayne is under 1.8 meters tall.

So compared to Dwyane, he's really tall.

"Okay. We're all our own people so there's no need to be so polite."

Alexander spoke up.

"Sit down, Dwayne. Don't you want to talk to my son? Now it is in front of you. "
