Chapter 202: Franchise Auction

"Really, the downy mildew disaster at Smith Ranch is severe, and there is another outbreak of aphid disease.

It happened early in his family, and Mrs. Hall was inexperienced and late.

The losses were very large, and in the second half of the year, they had to rely on buying pasture to feed the cattle and sheep. ”

Han Qianshan said regretfully.

After thinking about it, he didn't have a chance to annex it without selling it, so he took the opportunity to expand the Snow Mountain Ranch, and he was happy again: "Her son wants to open a movie theater in Seattle, so he wants to sell it." ”

Smith Ranch is a large ranch, only a little smaller than the Snow Mountain Ranch, a hundred years ago Montana was deserted and cheap.

The elder Hall's ancestors spent nearly $20,000 to buy the 73,000-acre wasteland.

With the improvement of the land, it has gradually become a high-quality pasture, if the Augsg Ranch had not been sold to Han Qianshan, except for the Broken-B Ranch, his family would be the largest nearby.

If it were to be bought, the area of the snowy mountain ranch would be nearly doubled, and with 150,000 acres, it would be able to overpower Broken-B and become the largest in northwestern Montana.

Just thinking about it made Han Xuan excited: "Buy!" Of course you have to buy it! How much does she cost? Not enough for me to lend you. ”

"Ahh What are you doing with my ears! ”

When he says this, he owes it, which father wants to see that he doesn't have enough money to take his son's money?

Han Qianshan said: "It's only 27 million, I can take it out, and rent 10,000 acres of wasteland from Augusta Town as a vegetable planting base, it didn't cost much, the contract was signed for 30 years, 200,000 a year."

Also, what broken trees did Lewis tinker with all day, what did you instruct? ”

"If you don't say that I forgot, what a broken tree, that's black truffle mycorrhizae!"

Han Xuan said, took the paper towel handed by the housekeeper, wiped his mouth, raised the fat Ding and said to the housekeeper: "When you buy vegetables, please help it bring some cat food, don't be picky, as long as it's eaten." ”

Fat Ding turned back with resentment......

Audi parked on the side of Broadway Road.

Han Xuan got out of the car and went to the newsstand last time to buy a few newspapers, and the boss really left a book, and returned to the car after thanking him.

I was going to look at the follow-up book reviews, and when I saw those large headlines, I raised my eyebrows.

"How."

"Yesterday I met the Koch brothers from Koch Industries, and today the News of the World is scolding them."

The old man looked at the content and said with a smile: "The Lincoln Tunnel is one of the busiest roads in New York every day, and it dares to close the road, and it deserves it."

No one is to blame, Rupert Mercado of News Corp. has a grudge against them, presumably taking revenge. ”

"I think it's a good scolding, yesterday Charles Koch said that you are short of money for your recent expansion and want to buy a stake in the SOS Group." Han Xuan said indignantly.

"Charles? They're nothing.

Six of the top 10 consortia have come to me, four of the world's seven largest banks, and all the top 10 funds have sent people to me, and all of them have been rejected by me, but Koch Industries. ”

When he speaks, he doesn't care about it on his face.

Old Man Han continued: "They started by speculation, not to mention against the government, and in the past few years, they have also played the slogan of the Tea Party, as long as there is a little wind and grass, they will be the first to die." ”

I accidentally saw a photo in the newspaper, pulled it out and read it, and scolded: "The Sun wrote that you may be the illegitimate son of Charles Koch, a Chinese and a white, and the editor is a pig and will not think about it this way." ”

"It's okay, it's me too far to see."

Han also cursed in his heart, looked down and looked at a few more pages, most of them were small photos, guessing his identity.

Fold it and put it aside, and it's already time in Times Square.

"You've met with Anthony, do you have any plans for the money lent to you?"

Get out of the car and walk to the gate of the company's branch, there are employees who say hello, and Mr. Han smiled and nodded.

"I have already thought about it, after buying the car manufacturers, I will leave some for research and development, and the extra will buy Bloomberg News shares.

If there is any rest, I will invest in Microsoft and Sun Microsystems. ”

"I know Bloomberg News is also using it to analyze market data, but are you sure about those two companies?

They seem to be the hottest in the stock market recently, not afraid of bubbles? ”

Today, everyone in the company is in a hurry.

Assistant Joseph stood at the door, and was about to speak as soon as he saw them, but the old man raised his hand to wait and looked at his grandson.

Han Xuan nodded: "Nowadays, the stock market is generally on an upward trend, and it is not a problem to accommodate one or two bubble stocks, the IT industry is a new thing for stockholders, and they don't understand its situation, they just blindly follow it."

Even if a clear-eyed person knows that there is a bubble, he is willing to push it, and then hand it over to the next family when he makes money, and see who will burst the bubble.

The United States has just experienced several economic crises, and I believe that the officials, brokers, and exchanges who hold stocks in the market do not want to come again, and a few high-priced stocks can stimulate the market and enhance the confidence of stockholders.

It can't collapse now, at least not in the next few years. ”

"Good understanding, let's do it."

The old man smiled and turned to ask Joseph, "What's the matter?" ”

"Sotheby's and Christie's have heard that the auctioneers are in place and that people are starting to enter the venue.

So far, there are more than 200 people in the Bronx, and we have 40 convenience stores there, and Mr. Robin from the think tank reported that it may not be enough. Joseph said.

"The Bronx, what is the population there?"

"More than 1.1 million residents, mostly African-American and Latino immigrants, with average economic conditions, ranked last year at the bottom of the five counties in New York."

"One convenience store radiates 30,000 people, which is too much."

The old man thought for a while, walked into the elevator and looked at his watch: "Lower this number to 20,000, it is only 9:40, and it is estimated that 700 people will enter the venue at half past ten, which is more popular than expected." ”

Joseph laughed, took a notebook and wrote it down, and asked again: "Fifty-five?" Are the supporting services sufficient? ”

As the assistant to the president, he is mainly responsible for assisting the president, and the focus of the work includes staff, advice, execution, coordination, and auxiliary management, etc., and has great power.

"Not enough to add more, a New York I don't believe it can't be done.

Let's look at the data this time, if it exceeds expectations, it will be followed by this later, and Manhattan will improve a little more.

As soon as the auction is over, let the think tank analyze it and make a plan for me as soon as possible. ”

Walking and chatting, when I came to the top office, John was busy, and behind him, Thomas and Heinrich, the two followers, walked wherever they went.

John, who was a novice himself, was scrambling by them, and when the old man saw this, he beckoned and shouted, "You two! Come here! ”

"Boss, what's the matter?"

Thomas's smile was too much, and Han Xuan always felt a little obscene.

Heinrich stood to the side, his hands behind his back, like a student being punished by a teacher.

"Resign."

"Huh?!"

The old man ignored them, turned back to Han Xuan, and said, "Recruit them to your company, and the position will be given, not too high." ”

When John heard this, he handed him the document in his hand: "I don't have an assistant?" ”

"I see they're very idle, and you don't need an assistant......"

Joseph's phone rang, he walked a short distance and said a few words, then hung up and shouted, "Three hundred and fifty, boss." ”

"Good!"
