Chapter 1003: Late Summer 2003
The next morning,
The sun didn't come out, Jiang Hao got up and looked at the sky, the sky was gloomy as if it was going to rain, Fox is located in the deep mountain canyon on the west side of the Olympic Mountains, surrounded by forests, 360 days a year, 300 days without seeing the sun, continuous rain is the norm here.
I looked at my room again, the old house and the old furniture, Jiang Hao's home is a double-storey wooden building, the area is not small, but it has been some years, this is his home, and he lived here by himself after his parents died.
took a shower, went downstairs to find food, opened the refrigerator, there was only bread jam in it, and a bucket of milk, Jiang Hao looked at the date, there was still one day to expire.
Poured a glass of milk, spread jam on bread and ate a simple meal.
After changing his clothes and going out, he found his motorcycle in the tool room, an old Harley, which was his means of transportation, and with a hard kick, the motorcycle started, making a unique Harley roar.
"Not bad, the engine is very powerful and well maintained." Jiang Hao muttered.
Riding a motorcycle, driving a dirt road, then drove out of his manor, there is a large area of land in the reserve, all of which belong to the Indians, Jiang Hao's farm area is not small, almost 300 acres or so, but because no one cultivates it, the land is barren, and the mountains and forests in the distance still have his two hills, which are left to him by his parents.
These things would be an enviable fortune if they were kept at home, but they would not be worth much in the United States, especially in the Indian reservations.
So now Jiang Hao is still a poor bastard.
The motorcycle drove into a manor, which was also the kind of wooden house, and as soon as the motorcycle stopped at the door, a teenager ran out of the house, jumped to Jiang Hao's side in three or two steps, and grinned and showed a mouthful of white teeth, "Jon, I knew you were here when I heard the sound of the motorcycle." ”
The young man had long hair, casually draped over his shoulders, and his upper body was naked, revealing a body of bronzed skin, looking very strong, Jiang Hao patted the young man's shoulder, "Jacob, why didn't you go to play with your friends?" ”
Now Jacob should only be 15 years old, and he is indeed a teenager, but considering that he has such strong muscles at the age of 15, I have to say that he has developed early enough.
"I've been playing all summer vacation, and it's the seaside mountains and forests all day long, it's not interesting, cousin, why did you remember it today, is there anything wrong?" Jacob asked.
"Is Uncle there?"
"It's in the house."
"I want to borrow a car from my uncle and go to Olympia City to buy some things." Jiang Hao said.
Jacob's eyes lit up, "Are you going to Olympia, can you take me with you?" ”
"No problem."
Walking into the room, Jiang Hao first hugged an Indian woman, this is Jacob's mother, his aunt, and then looked at Billy in a wheelchair and said: "Uncle, I want to go to Olympia, I'm afraid it will rain today, so I borrow your car for it." ”
Jiang Hao was not polite at all, his memory told him that Jiang Hao had the same status as Jacob in this family, and it was usually this uncle who took care of him, except that he did not live together, in fact, there was no difference between father and son.
And Jiang Hao is an adult, he has a driver's license for a long time, and he often drives, so Billy has nothing to worry about.
"The key is on the cupboard, go get it yourself." Billy Road.
"Dad, I want to go to the city with Jon." Jacob said.
Billy shrugged, "Whatever." ”
An old Ford pickup truck, the two brothers got in the car and drove towards Olympia, there were not many cars on the road, all surrounded by dense mountains and forests, it was very pleasant to drive, about an hour later, the car arrived in Olympia City.
Olympia City is the capital of Washington state, said that the capital is actually not big, the total population of about 50,000, Jiang Hao did not know if he could find what he wanted to buy, walked around the city twice, and finally found a store with a Chinese logo, is a Chinese goods supermarket, Jiang Hao went in to find the boss, is a Chinese.
"Do you have Chinese yellow paper, cinnabar, pen, ink, paper, and inkstone here?" Jiang Hao asked.
The boss shook his head and said, "I have some daily necessities here, imported from China, and the things are definitely strong, easy to use and cheap." ”
Chickens and ducks talk about it, it's completely incompatible, it seems that the boss doesn't know what he wants at all, I'm afraid he can only go to Seattle.
Although Olympia is the capital of Washington State, Seattle is the largest city in Washington State, and there are also Chinatowns there, Chinese grocery stores, shops, restaurants, antique stores and so on.
However, Olympia is a two-hour drive from Seattle, I'm afraid it's not the right day to go, and to be honest, he doesn't have any money now, and he can't buy anything when he goes, so he called Jacob, and the two of them soon came to the bank.
"What are you doing at the bank, Jon?" Jacob asked.
"There are some things to handle, you can wait for me in the car first." Jiang Hao said.
Jacob shrugged.
Jiang Hao got out of the car and walked into the bank.
The purpose of his coming to the bank was very simple, to take out a loan, and he had thought about whether to find a place to do a vote, such as a certain bank or a jewelry store, but in the end he rejected this idea, at least now it is not suitable to do so.
He is ready to make money and make a lot of money, but if the start-up capital is suspected of coming from, it is also a hidden danger, so from the very beginning, Jiang Hao was ready to make it all legal.
There were not many customers in the bank, Jiang Hao found a staff member to explain his intentions, and the staff looked at Jiang Hao, "You want a loan, but the loan needs to be collateralized." ”
"Of course I know, I have collateral." Jiang Hao said.
The staff took Jiang Hao to a credit business officer, and the middle-aged white man glanced at Jiang Hao, an Indian, and his interest immediately decreased, "Young man, do you have anything to do?" ”
"I want to take out a loan." Jiang Hao sat across from the white man and said.
"Loan, how much do you want to borrow, do you have the right collateral?" The white fat man asked, twisting his fat belly.
"My land, you come and calculate for me how much I can borrow." Jiang Hao said, taking out his land certificate from the space, these documents were issued by the state government and have legal effect.
When the white fat man heard this, he immediately became interested, "I'll take a look." He took the paperwork and read it, "Can you provide your identity documents to prove that these lands belong to you?" ”
"Absolutely." Jiang Hao took out his driver's license and social security card and handed them to the other party.
The land was transferred to him after the death of his parents, and the legitimacy was completely fine.
The white fat man immediately calculated, and said to Jiang Hao after a while: "300 acres of farm land can give you a loan of 150,000 US dollars, and you are going to take out a loan for a few years, the interest rate is 4.5% for one year, 4.75% for three years, and 4.95% for five years." ”
Jiang Hao immediately shook his head, "It's too little, according to the current price of land in Washington State, an acre is worth $2,500, and his value is $750,000, but you only borrow $150,000, which is too little." ”
The fat man spread his hands, "This is a mortgage, the bank can't calculate it for you according to the price of the land, besides, what you said is the price of other private land, you are the land in the reserve, you have to understand." ”
The fat man didn't continue, but the meaning was expressed, and the land in the reserve area was even less valuable.
Jiang Hao was unmoved, "I know that the government has always wanted to buy land in the hands of the Indians, isn't this a good opportunity?" Jiang Hao said bluntly.
After hearing this, the fat man made a strange expression on his face, if this topic continues to be talked about, it will involve racial discrimination, the US government has been sparing no effort to weaken the land of the Indians, and wants to buy the land in their hands, and then let them completely integrate into American society, and completely eliminate the independence of the Indians.
However, this is all a private thing, and no one will put it on the table, let alone those politicians in the United States.
"At most, 200,000, it really can't be more, no matter which bank you go to, it is impossible to be higher than this number." The white fat man said.
Jiang Hao thought for a while and nodded, "Okay, then 200,000 yuan, a loan for three years." ”
The white fat man went to get the formalities, there was a complete collateral, and the loan was not difficult to complete, Jiang Hao sat next to him and waited for the staff to go through the formalities, but he was thinking depressedly, even if he could turn into a werewolf, he was still a group of poor bastards, and every time he transformed, he had to tear a set of clothes, and finally he was reluctant to wear his shirt.
Looking at those vampires, which one is not a rich lord, living a luxurious life, the Cullen family's car in the movie is the best among all the students in the town, Edward takes Bella to travel and make private jets, you can see how rich you are.
There is no way, these vampires live a long time, and they can earn a value by casually getting some antiques and putting them for a hundred years, and then use the money to invest in promising companies and grow together, how can they not be rich.
What about werewolves, the life span is about the same as that of normal humans, or even shorter, and their minds are not bright, they used to hunt and farm, but now they can't keep up with society, and they are romantic with women, at most, they are scurrying around in the mountains and forests with their bare arms and holding a girl.
In these days, money is king, and different abilities can't withstand a poor word.
With this start-up capital, Jiang Hao is confident that it won't be long before he can make more money, just 200,000 US dollars, and he won't put it in his eyes at any time.
After two hours, Jiang Hao finished the business, his 300 acres of land mortgaged, the procedures were carefully read, it was completely a formal bank mortgage contract, there was nothing boring, and his bank account had an extra $200,000, and now the balance of his bank account was 200,000 yuan and 8 yuan.
Jiang Hao immediately took out $50,000 and put it on his body, earning space where no one was.
Out of the bank, it was already noon, Jacob had been waiting impatiently, "Let's go, take you to dinner, we still have things to do in the afternoon." ”
"Do what?"
"A lot."
The two had lunch at a fast-food restaurant, and Jacob had a burger and two portions of fried beef, and the young man had a good appetite.
After eating, Jiang Hao took Jacob to the business department of the securities company in Olympia City, Jiang Hao was communicating with the staff, Jacob didn't know anything about this, and sat on the sofa next to him with a brochure to pass the time.
"Sir, do you want to open an account?"
"Yes, what documents are needed?"
"ID card, bank card, sign a risk responsibility letter, online entrustment transaction, and then set a password of your own, and I will apply for a shareholder card for you."
A set of things down, Jiang Hao got the trading card, and then he can trade stocks, as long as there is a computer and a network, you can download a trading software to operate, which is very convenient.
It doesn't matter if you don't have a computer, you can trade on the phone.
Holding the transaction card, Jiang Hao transferred all the remaining $150,000 in the bank card.
It's the late summer of 2003.
Although Jiang Hao can't remember all the details of the stocks, he has read the original Twilight book and knows that the timeline of the story should have started in the late summer of 2003, and he focused on memorizing this time period, as well as the development of the stock market and various enterprises in the United States in the next ten years.
I have memories of the future stock market, and it's hard to make money or not.
There is a saying that standing on the tuyere, pigs can fly, and what Jiang Hao wants to say is that the traverser is 10,000 times stronger than the pig.
