Chapter 451: Long Beach in hand

The city construction is in full swing, the Hall cigarette factory is doing well, and a month later, Jiang Hao found Mayor Durant again, waved his hand and said: "Mayor, I am ready to buy all the remaining land, what do you think." ”

"All ?!!"

Durant was stunned, this is a lot of money, if you count it all, it is estimated to be millions of dollars.

"If that's the case, maybe you can pay back the money for building public facilities." Durant Road.

Jiang Haoxin said, I won't let the government pay back the money, I am good at making money, spending money is even better, so many places that need to be built, how can I make enough money, three years later, I will definitely spend the city government out of a big hole.

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

Durant thought for a moment, "How about a three-year deadline." ”

"No problem."

In this way, the remaining land in the entire urban area of Los Angeles is all owned by Jiang Hao privately, of course, some hillsides and distant wilderness Jiang Hao did not buy, and he does not have so much money to buy those places now.

But don't worry, wait a while, those places are estimated to be his.

Jiang Hao rode a horse and walked on the street, and 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 so good today."

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

Now the construction of public facilities in Los Angeles is proposed by him, and he also borrowed money from the government, the construction of Los Angeles, so that more people have jobs, more businesses benefit, Jiang Hao in the eyes of Los Angeles citizens, now much more prestige than Mayor Durant.

Jiang Hao came to the cigarette factory station, the factory was full of busy figures, most of them were Chinese, and the accommodation area was a row of wooden houses, neatly arranged, divided into men's dormitories, women's dormitories, and a single suite that could accommodate a family.

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

Seeing this scene, Jiang Hao suddenly had an idea in his mind, and when he came to the office of the cigarette factory, Jiang Hao found Chris Adams and said to him: "We want to establish a Taoist temple, and this Taoist temple must also have the public use of education." ”

"Taoism? What is Taoism? Adams asked, confused.

"It's a Chinese church, but I believe in other gods, and that's my faith." Jiang Hao said.

It's the boss's faith, that's not to say.

Jiang Hao found people who know how to build from the workers, I have to say that many Chinese are really versatile, there are really people who understand architecture, Jiang Hao drew a map of the construction of the Taoist hall, and carved out a 20-acre area in the highest hilly area of the farm, preparing to build the largest Taoist temple in the United States.

It is not only necessary to worship the Three Qing Dynasty, but also to have a school and a training center next to it, so that those children have a place to go to school, so that those workers can also learn some culture and increase some knowledge, who knows if there will be one or two awesome overseas Chinese who will go to China to overthrow the Qing government in more than ten years.

Jiang Hao has always felt that faith is very important, and history has proved that it is terrible for a country and nation to be poor and backward, but what is even more terrible is spiritual emptiness. has lost ideals and beliefs, has no restraint in his heart, has no scruples in his behavior, and no matter how many external requirements there are, he will "breed laws and regulations, and there will be many thieves"; has lost its dominant values, has no clear standards, and has broken through the moral bottom line, no matter how abundant the material life is, it is inevitable that "gold and jade will be lost in it".

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 values of socialism.

Ahem, the back is too familiar, and it slips out of my mouth.

......

Construction!

Construction!!!

Engage in construction !!

Hundreds of people at Hall Construction & Engineering are busy.

Feishui doesn't leave outsiders for him, there are so many projects in Los Angeles, how can it be handed over to others, hehehe, the money we took out, we must earn it back, borrow without interest, do you think you really don't want it.

The whole of Los Angeles has now become a big construction site, full of construction, stone sewers, Jiang Hao wants to ensure that he can use it in a hundred years, and maybe he can perform a 'chivalrous lion' play at that time.

The roads are poured with cement, and the auxiliary roads are paved with stone slabs, which are clean and tidy, so Jiang Hao has built a large stone factory and a large cement factory in the mountains of Los Angeles, and he believes that after the completion of this project, he will earn back the money of several factories.

And Jiang Hao doesn't plan to build only these streets in the urban area, the pattern is too small, Jiang Hao's planning map is nine horizontal and nine vertical, and the regional plan is large.

In addition to the existing three blocks, there are no buildings in the remaining blocks, it doesn't matter, there will be in the future, those lands have been bought by Jiang Hao, and the three links can only raise the price, isn't it, real estate is a big money-making item.

Even Jiang Hao was preparing to build a road to his tobacco company, in order to facilitate the transportation of goods, Mayor Durant said with a bitter face after reading the plan: "Hall, this road directly builds your factory, I'm afraid it will cause criticism." ”

"But my company is the largest tax-paying enterprise in the whole of Los Angeles, shouldn't I enjoy some treatment, this is also for the better development of the company, my company can only pay more taxes when it develops, right?"

Zhen Zhen has words, strong words, anyway, how reasonable he said, Durant had no choice, convened a meeting of lawmakers again, and the lawmakers said everything, and some people said, "Since we can build a road to Hall Manor, we should also build a road to the west." ”

"We also need a road to the east." Someone else said.

Jiang Hao laughed in his heart and said, "I think your proposal is very appropriate, isn't it just to build a road 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, the plan from the urban area to the southeast and northwest to build a road, the length of the four roads reached more than 160 kilometers, which is a big investment.

Of course, it was Jiang Hao who spent money, and the funds that the government had sold to Jiang Hao for the land were gone all of a sudden.

Money

Spend money with his life, the more he spends money, the happier Jiang Hao is, and the bigger the government's hole, the more he profits.

After the construction of the highway issue, Jiang Hao put forward a new topic, "Although the train can solve the transportation in Los Angeles now, the sea transportation is the cheapest and most convenient mode of transportation, and we should build a wharf, a wharf that can accommodate tens of thousands of tons of giant ships." ”

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

"The dock where tens of thousands of tons of giant ships dock, Councilor Hall, do you know how much it costs!" A member of parliament shouted.

"Of course, I calculated that it would cost about $3 million, and with the ancillary facilities, it would cost about $3.5 million." Jiang Hao said in a relaxed tone.

"Oh my God, $3.5 million, that's an astronomical amount of money, and now Los Angeles owes you more than $1 million, where is the money to build a dock." A councillor shouted.

Many of the city councilors in this period were also born in mud legs, and they didn't have much knowledge at all, and the huge number of 3.5 million really scared them.

Jiang Hao said: "If you agree, I'll figure it out." ”

Durant looked at Jiang Hao, "Are you ready to invest in the construction of the dock, can you come up with that much money?" ”

"I definitely can't come up with millions at once, but the construction of the wharf is not a matter of one or two days, and it may take three years from the normal start of construction to the completion of the construction, and I think I can still support it." Jiang Hao said.

The eyes of others looking at Jiang Hao were full of envy and jealousy, and if he could have a family of millions, he was definitely at the level of a wealthy man in the United States during this period.

"Hall, do you have a more specific plan, you might as well speak it out and listen to it." Mayor Durant said.

Jiang Hao actually had a draft in his heart, so he asked someone to bring a map of the Los Angeles region, pointed to the seaside and said: "I went to the beach for a simple investigation, and here, here, and here are all good locations to build docks." Jiang Hao pointed to Santa Monica, Long Beach and other places in the later generations and said.

Jiang Hao's finger fell on Santa Monica's position and said: "This is the closest to us, and the conditions are excellent, suitable for building a deep-water port, I think we can build a wharf here, of course, the funds will be paid by me first, and it will still be carried out according to the model of the last city construction, using the wharf as collateral, but this time the amount of funds is really too large, I hope to get these lands first." ”

Jiang Hao said, drawing a circle with his finger throughout the Long Beach area.

Jiang Hao has coveted Long Beach for a long time, and now he finally showed his fangs, and after someone saw it, he said: "These places are almost 100,000 acres or so, all of which are wasteland, which are worth about 100,000 US dollars, which is a drop in the bucket." ”

This is someone looking at the map, rolling his eyes and saying: "Councilor Hall, I think the construction of the wharf is very necessary, it is very beneficial to the development of Los Angeles, but the financial pressure will make the government breathless, Hall, why don't you buy more land." ”

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

"What do you think of Huntington next door, and further out there is Santa Clementi to the west all the way to San Diego."

Another interjection next to him said, "It's better to sell Santa Catalina Island to him." ”

Seeing that it was about to turn into a land sale conference, Durant immediately knocked on the table and said: "Everyone, the matter of port construction and land sale repayment is just a proposal today, and the city government still needs to plan, we can discuss it at the next meeting, okay, adjourn the meeting." ”

Just like the lyrics sung by the crime buster Jacky Cheung, today it was just brought up and blown the wind, and such a big thing could not be decided with one sentence.

After the meeting ended, Jiang Hao followed the old man Durant into his office, and after the door closed, Durant said: "Hall, will you be too risky to do this, you know, it is a multi-million investment, and it may crush you all at once." ”

"I'm just thinking now, if it works well, it shouldn't be a big problem, but I don't know what those parliamentarians think." Jiang Hao said.
