Chapter 448 Long Beach Acquired

City construction was in full swing, and the business of the Hall Cigarette Factory was booming. A month later, Jiang Hao approached Mayor Durant again, waved his hand and said, "Mayor, I plan to buy all the remaining land. What do you think?"

"all?!!"

Durant was stunned. This is a lot of money. If it is all counted, it is estimated to be millions of dollars.

"If this is the case, maybe you can pay back the money you paid for the construction of public facilities." Durant said.

Jiang Haoxin said, I will not let the government pay back the money. I am good at earning money, and even better at spending it. There are so many places that need to be built, how can I make enough money? After three years, I will definitely spend the money on the city government. Make a big hole out.

"For the time being, I will only give 30% of the money for these lands to the government, and the rest will be used as urban construction funds, so that it can be turned around. Do you think it's okay?" Jiang Hao was playing tricks again.

Durant thought for a while, "Then it's three years, how about it."

"no problem."

In this way, the remaining land in downtown Los Angeles was all owned by Jiang Hao. Of course, Jiang Hao didn't buy some hillsides and distant wilderness. He still doesn't have enough money to buy those places.

But don't worry, wait for a while, those places are probably still his.

Jiang Hao rode on the street. When the citizens of Los Angeles saw Jiang Hao, the men took off their hats and saluted, and the women raised their skirts to salute.

"Hello, Mayor Hall."

"Good afternoon, Mayor Hall."

"Mayor Hall, you look really good today."

Jiang Hao is now the deputy mayor of Los Angeles and the largest industrialist in Los Angeles. His company pays more than two-thirds of the tax revenue of the entire Los Angeles. His factories, farms, and plantations employ thousands of workers.

Now the construction of public facilities in Los Angeles was proposed by him, and he was also the one who borrowed money from the government. The construction of Los Angeles has allowed more people to have jobs and more businesses to benefit. Jiang Hao is now comparable to Durant City in the eyes of Los Angeles citizens. Longer prestige is much higher.

When Jiang Hao came to the cigarette factory, the factory was full of busy people, most of whom were Chinese. The dormitories were neatly arranged in rows of wooden houses, divided into male dormitories and female dormitories. The suites, the housing construction here has never stopped.

In the dormitory area, Jiang Hao saw the resting workers and their families, some were washing clothes, some were chatting, and children were playing and playing.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Hao suddenly had an idea in his mind. When he came to the office of the cigarette factory, Jiang Hao found Chris Adams and said to him: "We want to build a Taoist temple, and this Taoist temple should also be used for education. "

"Taoist temple? What is Taoist temple?" Adams asked in confusion.

"It's the church of the Chinese, but they believe in other gods, and that's also my belief." Jiang Hao said.

It is the belief of the boss, so there is no need to talk about it.

Jiang Hao recruited construction workers from among the workers. I have to say that many Chinese people are really versatile. There are really people who understand architecture. Jiang Hao drew a construction plan for the gymnasium and set aside a 20-acre area in the highest hilly area of ​​the farm. The place where the largest Taoist temple in the United States is going to be built.

It not only needs to worship Sanqing, but also has a school and training center next to it, so that those children can have a place to go to school, so that those workers can also learn some culture and gain some knowledge. Two awesome overseas Chinese went to China to overthrow the Qing government.

Jiang Hao has always felt that faith is very important. History has proved that it is terrible for a country and nation to be poor and backward, but what is even more terrible is the spiritual emptiness. Lost ideals and beliefs, no restraint in the heart, no scruples in behavior, no matter how many external requirements there are, there will be "laws and thieves." In life, it is inevitable that "gold and jade are outside, and failure is inside".

We must advocate prosperity, democracy, civilization, and harmony, freedom, equality, justice, and the rule of law, patriotism, dedication, integrity, and friendliness, and actively cultivate and practice the core socialist values.

Cough cough, the memorization is too familiar, slipped out of the mouth.

build!

build! ! !

Build big! ! !

Hundreds of people from Hall Construction Engineering Company are constantly busy.

Don't let outsiders leave the fat and water, how can it be possible to hand over so many projects in Los Angeles to others, hehehe, the money we spend must be earned back, and there is no interest on loans, you think you really don't want it.

The whole of Los Angeles is now a big construction site, with construction everywhere, and sewers made of stones. Jiang Hao wants to ensure that he can use them in a hundred years, and maybe he can perform a play of "Brave Lion" by then. .

The road is poured with cement, and the auxiliary road is paved with stone slabs. It is clean and tidy. For this reason, Jiang Hao specially built a large stone factory and a large cement factory in the mountainous area of ​​Los Angeles. He believes that after the completion of this project, he can earn a few dollars back factory money.

Moreover, Jiang Hao didn't intend to only build these few streets in the urban area, as the layout would be too small. Jiang Hao's plan was nine horizontal and nine vertical, and a large area plan.

Except for the three existing blocks, there are no buildings in the remaining blocks. It doesn't matter. There will be some in the future. Those lands have already been bought by Jiang Hao. Only when the three links are done can the price be raised, right? Real estate is a big money-making business.

Jiang Hao even planned to build a road leading to his own tobacco company. In order to facilitate the transportation of goods, Mayor Durant said with a bitter face after reading the plan: "Hall, this road will be directly built to your factory. Provoking criticism."

"But my company is the largest taxpayer in Los Angeles. Shouldn't it enjoy some treatment? This is also for the better development of the company. Only when my company develops can I pay more taxes, right?"

Durant had no choice but to convene a meeting of the congressmen again. The congressmen had everything they said, and someone said, "Since the road can be built to the Hall Manor, it should also be built for us to the west. One way."

"We also need a road to the east." Another person said.

Jiang Hao laughed in his heart and said, "I think your proposal is very appropriate. Isn't road construction just for development? I even think it should be built to the seaside."

At last

In the end, it was passed. Everyone can benefit. Why not agree? It is planned to build a road from the urban area to the southeast and northwest. The length of the four roads will reach more than 160 kilometers. This is another big investment.

Of course, it was Jiang Hao who spent the money, and the funds from the government's previous sale of the land to Jiang Hao disappeared all of a sudden.

spend money,

Spending money desperately, the more money Jiang Hao spends, the happier Jiang Hao is, and the bigger the hole in the government, the more profit he makes.

After the road construction issue was over, Jiang Hao proposed a new issue, "Although the train can solve the transportation in Los Angeles, sea transportation is the cheapest and most convenient mode of transportation. We should build a wharf, which can accommodate tens of thousands of tons. The wharf where the giant ship docks."

The congressmen were immediately stunned by Jiang Hao's proposal.

"The pier where the tens of thousands of tons of giant ships are docked, Congressman Hall, do you know how much it costs!" Some congressmen shouted.

"Of course, I calculated that it will cost about 3 million US dollars, plus ancillary facilities, it will cost about 3.5 million US dollars." Jiang Hao said in a relaxed tone.

"Oh, my God, 3.5 million US dollars, this is really an astronomical figure, now that Los Angeles already owes you more than 1 million US dollars, how can there be money to build the pier." Some congressmen shouted.

Many of the city councilors in this period were born with mud legs and did not have much knowledge at all. The huge number of 3.5 million really frightened them.

Jiang Haodao: "If everyone agrees, I will find a way."

Durant looked at Jiang Hao, "Are you going to invest in the construction of the pier? Can you spend that much money?"

"I'm sure it's impossible for me to spend several million at once, but the construction of the pier is not a matter of a day or two. It may take three years from the normal start to the completion of the construction. I think I can still support it." Jiang Hao said.

The eyes of other people looking at Jiang Hao are full of envy and jealousy. He can have a family property of several million. In this period, he is definitely a rich man in the United States.

"Hall, do you have a more specific plan? You might as well tell me." Mayor Durant said.

In fact, Jiang Hao already had a draft in mind, so he asked someone to bring a map of the Los Angeles area, pointed to the seaside and said, "I went to the seaside for a simple investigation, and here, here, and here are all good locations for building a pier. "Jiang Hao said, pointing to Santa Monica, Long Beach and other places in later generations.

Jiang Hao put his finger on Santa Monica and said: "This is the closest to us, and the conditions are good, suitable for building a deep-water port. I think we can build a pier here. Of course, I will advance the funds first, and still follow the The last time the urban construction was carried out, the pier was used as collateral, but this time the amount of funds is indeed too large, and I hope to get the land first.”

Jiang Hao said, drawing a circle on the entire Long Beach area with his fingers.

Jiang Hao has been coveting Long Beach for a long time, and now he finally showed his fangs. After seeing it, someone said: "These places have about 100,000 acres of wasteland, and they are worth about a hundred thousand dollars. It's a drop in the bucket."

This is when someone looked at the map, rolled his eyes and said, "Mr. Hall, I think the pier construction is very necessary. It is of great benefit to the development of Los Angeles, but the financial pressure will make the government overwhelmed. Hall, how about you?" Buy more land."

"Buy more, where to buy?" Jiang Hao asked.

"What do you think of Huntington next to it, and San Clemente on the outside west all the way to San Diego."

Another interjected next to him, saying, "It's better to sell Santa Catalina Island to him."

Seeing that it was about to turn into a land sale meeting, Durant immediately knocked on the table and said, "Everyone, the port construction and land sale repayment is just a proposal today. The city government still needs to plan. We can discuss it in the next meeting." We're discussing, well, the meeting is over."

Just like the lyrics sung by Jacky Cheung, the evil nemesis, today I just brought it up to blow the wind, such a big matter cannot be decided in one sentence.

After the meeting, Jiang Hao followed the old man Durant into his office. After the door closed, Durant said: "Hall, is it too risky for you to do this? You know, it's a few million Investing can overwhelm you all at once.”

"I'm just an idea now. If it works well, it shouldn't be a big problem, but I don't know what those congressmen think." Jiang Hao said.
