Chapter 439 I Want to Be a Sheriff
Mayor Durant had a good impression of Jiang Hao. He wore a neat suit, spoke in a gentle manner, and looked very educated and knowledgeable. "Does Mr. Hall really want to buy 10,000 acres of land?"
"Yes, I hope it's a good piece of land." Jiang Hao said.
"Of course, let's go to my office to have a look. There is a map over there, marking the unsold land. As long as it is unowned land, Mr. Hall can buy it all." Mayor Durant said happily.
Urban construction is inseparable from people, let alone money. Los Angeles is located in a remote area. Recently, they want to build a university, but they are worried about the money to build the school. Jiang Hao came here to solve the urgent need.
The map was spread out, and Jiang Hao looked at the map with a feeling of drooling. This is the land of Los Angeles. In later generations, every inch of land is expensive, but now it is a pile of cabbages.
The entire map has been turned into countless grids. Now only a small area in the city center is occupied by the city government for public use and cannot be sold. Some places close to the city center are sold, but the places farther away are less and less occupied. , the area located in the bay is no longer on the map. What does this mean? It means that no one will buy it.
Jiang Hao pointed to the hillside to the north of the town and said, "I see a large vacant lot here, and I want to buy it. What do you think, Mr. Mayor?"
The mayor looked at the map and said, "To tell you the truth, the north is Banpo District, and the land is not very flat, so people don't want to buy there. If you want to open a farm, the south is a better choice."
The mayor is an honest man. It is true that the land in the south of the town is flat and fertile, but he does not know that the place Jiang Hao refers to has oil. After drilling tens of meters deep, the oil field was drilled.
"I just think this piece of land is relatively neat, and the land in other places is more scattered. As for the south, I also want to get a piece of land. There are 12 of us, each with 160 acres of land, and we can make a big piece of land. You Say yes."
Jiang Hao had a good idea. After buying it from above, he will build an oil field, and the south will naturally be a farm for living.
"If you want, I have no problem. The land there is not as good as the south, and the price is naturally cheaper. One acre of land is 1.2 dollars, and the whole area is about 26,000 acres. Which one do you choose?" The mayor felt that he had done his best. own responsibility.
"26,000 acres?" Jiang Hao touched his chin, "If I buy them all, can it be cheaper?"
The mayor is overjoyed, it is a barren beach that no one likes, if it can be sold at one time, the university will have enough money, and many other constructions can be carried out.
"Of course, if it is a one-time purchase, I can lower the price to 1 dollar. If it is cheaper, I can only convene councilors to discuss and decide. My rights cannot be decided." The mayor said a little embarrassed.
One dollar, 26,000 acres is $26,000.
For 26,000 US dollars, you can own a piece of land rich in oil, and then hundreds of millions of black gold will be produced, so why not?
The famous Sunset Boulevard in later generations is also in this location.
"Just one dollar, I'll buy it." Jiang Hao immediately decided.
The mayor felt that today was really his lucky day, pointing to a place on the map and said to Jiang Hao: "Look here, this is a good place, it is very close to the town, the land is fertile, and next to the Los Angeles River, it can provide sufficient The water source, with an area of about 3,500 acres, is very suitable for a farm.”
"The 12 of you can get almost 2,000 acres of land. As for the extra 1,500 acres, I can sell it to you for $1.50 per acre. You know, this is land worth $2."
The mayor introduced a good place to Jiang Hao, and it was a few hundred dollars cheaper. Although the money was not much, Jiang Hao thought this old man was nice.
Jiang Hao looked at the map. There were still a few open spaces next to the ranch. Although some were divided, they were very close. There was also a piece on the other side of the river. Jiang Hao asked, "These should also be vacant."
"Yes, as long as it is not marked, it is empty space." The mayor said.
"I bought them all." Jiang Hao said grandly.
You know, these places are the downtown locations of Los Angeles for future generations, so why sell them now? Money, spend it and earn it again. Besides, the money for buying land is really nothing to him.
The old man Durant looked surprised, "Really, that's really great. If so, I can also give you as cheap as $1.8 an acre in these places."
In the end, Jiang Hao bought a total of 6 pieces of land, 26,000 acres on the northern half slope of the town, and 5 pieces of land in the south, each of which is about 1,000 to 3,000 acres. Not far, all in one area.
As for the other wastelands, those that were not marked on the map, Jiang Hao didn’t ask. Now there is no one inhabited there, it’s just a wilderness, but Jiang Hao already has a goal in his heart. There is an excellent seaport, which must not be let go.
The procedures are very simple. The city government issues a sales agreement and signs it for the record. From then on, those places belong to Jiang Hao. Whether it is everything on the ground or underground mines, all belong to Jiang Hao himself.
Back at the hotel, Jiang Hao called everyone together, put the agreement in the middle, and said, "Guys, from now on, these places belong to us completely, and our business starts from here."
More than a dozen people rode horses to transfer all the purchased land. The few lands introduced by the mayor were really good. It took about 20 minutes to ride horses from the town, and they were not far away. They chose a place and decided to build their manor.
First get a few wooden houses, which are fast and can be built in only two weeks, and can be moved in after one week of decoration.
When the house was being built, several people came to their farm on horseback. Jiang Hao and the others looked over, and those people naturally saw Jiang Hao and the others. They rode over, and the three horses were more than ten meters in front of Jiang Hao and the others. He stopped, and did not dismount.
"I am the sheriff of this town. You can call me Sergeant Kevin. I heard that you have come from afar and bought a large piece of land to settle in Los Angeles. As the sheriff of Los Angeles, I have the responsibility to warn you. You must abide by the laws and regulations and pay taxes according to the regulations, of course, if you need us to do anything, you can also go to the public security station to find us."
The guy didn't even get off the horse, he pulled the rein and left.
Jiang Hao smiled, a gentle mayor and an arrogant magistrate, interesting, Jiang Hao said to a group of brothers beside him, "Maybe I should also be a magistrate."
Celebrating the sixth watch, the debts are completely paid off, and the heavy rain regains its freedom from today. Finally, thanks again to the silver leader of "Aoyu". Tomorrow, the heavy rain will breathe free air and run against the sun, la la la~~~ la la la~~~
