Chapter 92: 180,000 acres of landlords
After eating and drinking, Li Zitao returned to the hotel and sat at the window waiting for Ben to arrive.
Until near the early morning, the team of 20 people finally arrived and asked the housekeeper to prepare a supper, and they discussed the meeting tomorrow.
"Priority chooses minerals and railway lines, and the farm chooses to be as close as possible..." Li Zitao's primary consideration is oil and minerals.
As for the animal husbandry, of course, he will also consider, but to be ranked second.
Buying farms and intervening in animal husbandry, on the one hand, is to hoard the land, on the other hand, it is to consider the future supply of McDonald's and Subway.
Owning its own production, R&D and animal husbandry industrial park is the future development trend.
"Right, did the survey company find it?" Li Zitao asked.
The head-eaten Ben wiped his mouth and said, "We have commissioned three survey companies, and this matter will take a lot of time."
"Well, don't worry." The finger tapped on the table, Li Zitao continued: "When the transaction with Morgan is completed, let them survey the land first."
"Okay, BOSS." After devouring the supper, he had to rest at the housekeeper's arrangement.
The next few days need to check a lot of information and materials, there will be no more rest time, tonight is their last relaxing moment.
The next day, Li Zitao personally led the team and killed JP Morgan. It was Juliana who received them, but she also had an executive director beside her.
Looking at the director's attitude towards her, Li Zitao can probably infer her status in JP Morgan, at least as a big man on par with the director.
No wonder they can get in and out of the financial world of ‘women’s ban’, and it really turned out to be a big one!
"Let's go!" With Li Zitao's order, all three meeting rooms were in a busy handover.
In addition to innumerable information, there are also three or five telephones on the table in each meeting room. The large peripheral team of think tanks will be responsible for verifying asset information on the spot.
Although Li Zitao believes that JP Morgan will not make a mistake in the document, it does not mean that these industries are completely fine.
Morgan also sometimes looks away, if Li Zitao's people can't tell which ones are garbage industries and which ones are high-quality industries, then they can't blame the other party for deliberately pitting him.
The entire transaction lasted 28 days before it was finally completed.
In 28 days, it has expanded to 800+ peripheral institutions, running in 7 states.
And Li Zitao’s S.H.I.E.L.D., 600 graduates, led by Samode, boarded a cruise ship to Liberia.
As the only independent state in Africa, Liberia has its backers, and its supporter is the Federal Government of the United States.
As for sending Samo, it is of course because of his skin color, the black brother is a family!
"BOSS, the rail lines we got were Chicago Northwest Railway, San Antonio Railway, Galveston West Railway, Midland Railway."
Li Zitao's mouth was straight, and it was a hammer in the east and a hammer in the west.
Fortunately, most railway lines are in Texas, and the biggest gains are more than 20 lines under the Chicago Northwest Railway Company.
In addition to the railway transportation lines owned by Ace, the railway transportation lines that radiate outwards from Chicago as the center, Li Zitao holds one-sixth.
"Unfortunately, the important arterial lines are in the hands of the Central Railway Company and the United Railway Company." Li Zitao murmured unwillingly.
'S corners of his eyes began to jump again and again, really wanted to smash the documents in his hands on the table and walked away, "Even if they go bankrupt, is there anything you don't have a B number in your heart?"
That is an important artery transportation line that runs through the east and west of the United States. With Li Zitao’s current influence, even if he can initiate an acquisition, the federal government will veto the transaction.
Not to mention that they are in the hands of the Forbes and Vanderbilt families, respectively, but the United States has two generations of railroad tycoons.
However, as more and more descendants of the Vanderbilt family, their wealth is scattered in the hands of each descendant, causing their influence to fall sharply.
With the advent of the Great Depression, the railway transportation business experienced a steep decline.
Because of this, a large number of railway companies will go bankrupt. I don’t know whether the Central Railway Company and the United Railway Company can survive this disaster.
"If BOSS grows faster, it is not impossible to win them." Ben was silently thinking.
"Incorporate all rail lines into Ace and conduct audits on their accounts. Has anyone asked about McDonald's franchise recently?"
"A lot of people are asking, when are we going to open up management rights?" Speaking of this matter, Ben's eyes lit up.
The potential shown by McDonald's is higher than predicted by think tanks. The clean, fast and cheap burgers are far more popular than they are.
"There is news that currently only 50 places are open in each state, giving me a fierce slaughter of them." Li Zitao didn't mean to be soft-hearted at all.
He is running out of money now. If McDonald's doesn't make any money, he will have to drink the northwest wind.
"Understood, BOSS, in the valley between Santa Ynez Mountain and San Rafael Mountain, we buy a lot of pastures, which occupy about three quarters of the entire valley,
The total area of is 3,000 acres. According to the survey, most of the local pastures are farming. In addition, it was once a famous grape growing area in California.
Before the prohibition order appeared, more than 80 wineries opened there. "
"Send someone to hire an experienced winemaker to re-cultivate the wine industry, and select the highest quality forage breeding site as a professional horse farm,
All other places have raised beef cattle and free range chickens. Is it suitable for growing vegetables there? "
"Of course, California is a big agricultural state and the most suitable for growing vegetables and fruits."
"What about lettuce?" Li Zitao asked.
"The weather there is very good, southwest can maintain 7 hours of sunshine per day, no problem at all."
Lettuce, lettuce.
"Asa Ranch, near the main road of Solvang, is a famous horse farm and livestock ranch in Santa Barbara County. The beef cattle raised there are basically supplied to high-end restaurants."
"Is the distance between the two places far?" Li Zitao asked.
"Less than 100 kilometers." Ben looked at the information.
"What is the area of Asa?"
"Over 10,000 acres."
Li Zitao was a little surprised, and immediately said: "With Asa Ranch as the main breeding ground, build a professional slaughterhouse and experimental field, responsible for the food supply of the future Golden Arch."
10,000 acres, completely enough for the current consumption.
"We are in Northern Texas, Asia (Arizona), Southeastern Ohio, Alaska also has a large number of pastures and land, with a total area of 180,000 acres."
180,000 acres, more than 700 square kilometers, more than twice the size of New York City, Li Zitao's brain hurt.
Such a huge land has to recruit management on a large scale.
The previous three surveying companies were simply not enough. It was only by them that they had surveyed these lands. I am afraid that World War II had already broken out.
"Acquisition of a survey company, purchase of equipment, recruitment of experienced personnel, comprehensive survey of the land currently owned, and gave me a clear check of every inch of resources."
Grandma's, but this is the land he bought with real gold and silver. Although the price is cheap, it is also money!
The prices of these lands are not cheap. Some high-quality pastures cost up to US$600 per acre.
Of course, there are also cheap ones, such as the desolate Alaska.
The land there is almost half-sell and half-send, only $8 per acre, which is similar to the price of a beef cattle, so he shouted, ‘Blood spit. ’
The small company that bought these lands at the time was also holding the idea of luck. They drilled in circles and wanted to see if black gold could be recovered.
Their purchase was 10 dollars per acre, and the price was equally pitiful.
This is because the American Geological Bureau believes that there are potential oil layers and natural gas fields in Alaska, otherwise it may really be given away in vain.
covers an area of 1,717,854 square kilometers, accounting for 20% of the total area of the United States is still a region, even the state can not be counted, how bad it is, you said.
Northern Alaska is in the Arctic Circle. The weather is cold all year round. Except for the inland area of the south, which is suitable for living, other places can almost freeze individuals.
In Alaska, fur traders and salmon fishing industry were the most popular. In 1897, gold mines were discovered here.
So the gold rush also made it a bit more lively, but compared to people, people are more willing to go to San Francisco and California to dig for gold, rather than freezing Alaska all year round.
So to speak, this place is a desolate ice.
Walk outside for ten days and ten nights, don't say you want to meet someone, no ghosts!
In order to purchase these lands, Li Zitao spent a total of 60 million US dollars, and the other four railway lines cost 36 million US dollars.
Among them, the Chicago Northwest Railway is the most expensive, and its price alone is 13 million.
"Send someone to survey Alaska, didn't the Geological Bureau say there was an oil layer? Drill me deeper!" Li Zitao growled like a hungry wolf.
Thinking of the weather in that ghost place~www.wuxiaspot.com~I felt the terrible bitterness: "It seems that I have to pay a lot of labor costs."
Mine's harvest is also not small, won a total of New Mexico's Tailong Open-pit Copper Mine, Chint Open-pit Copper Mine, and Colorado Henderson Molybdenum Mine, Aurora Molybdenum Mine.
cost 8 million, of which two molybdenum mines accounted for 77%.
Molybdenum element is currently widely used in medical and agricultural fertilizers.
And a scientist discovered that molybdenum element can make many changes in steel, plus the scarcity of known molybdenum ore, its price is too high.
In fact, there are still many options for the South American sector, but considering the complicated situation between the United States and Mexico, Li Zitao felt that these things would be considered later.
"All the acquired minerals are merged into FSC, and the compensation of small shareholders should be done well." In order not to leave the handle to others, Li Zitao also deliberately gave them enough compensation.
The more different the status and identity, the more Li Zitao should pay attention to this effect.
Humans are a very complicated animal, always like to sympathize with the weak, if the big brothers such as Li Zitao and the Kendi family, Morgan, Rockefeller make trouble.
The people of the whole country are people who eat melons, and they all sit on a small bench and wait for a good show.
But if he, a Chinese, bullies small shareholders who are weaker than him, hehe...
If there was no SHIELD board, and he was fortunately supported by Eisenhower, he does not know how many times he was shot.
Why Rockefeller and Jr. Morgan walked alone in the street, people would only give them respectful greetings and lofty respect, instead of a bright bullet?
Because of their sense of ethnic identity, they get national recognition, and Li Zitao wants to do this, it is very difficult, very difficult.
