Chapter 451: Long Beach is in hand

Urban construction is in full swing, and Hall Cigarette Factory is in full swing. A month later, Jiang Hao found Mayor Durant again, waved his hand and said, "Mayor, I plan to acquire all the remaining land. What do you think."

"all?!!"

Durant was shocked. This was a lot of money. If we counted it all, it would probably cost millions of dollars.

"If this is the case, you might be able to pay back the money for building public facilities." Durant said.

Jiang Haoxin said, I wouldn’t let the government pay back the money. I am good at making money and spending money even more. How can I make enough money if there are so many places that need to be built? In three years, I will definitely spend a big hole in the municipal government.

"I only give 30% of the money for these lands for the time being. The rest will be used as urban construction funds, so that it can be turned over. Do you think it's okay?" Jiang Hao was trying his best again.

Durant thought for a while, "Then it's a three-year period, how about it."

"no problem."

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

But don't worry, after waiting for a while, those places are probably his.

Jiang Hao was riding a horse on the street. When citizens in Los Angeles saw Jiang Hao, men took off their hats and saluted, while women raised their skirts to greet each other.

"Hello Mayor Hall."

"Good afternoon, Mayor Hall."

"Mayor Hall, you look so good today."

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

He proposed the construction of public facilities in Los Angeles now, and he borrowed money from the government. The construction of Los Angeles has allowed more people to have jobs and more businesses to benefit. In the minds of Los Angeles citizens, Jiang Hao is now much more prestige than Mayor Durant.

Jiang Hao came to the cigarette factory station. The factory was full of busy figures, most of which were Chinese. The accommodation area was lined with wooden houses, neatly arranged, divided into male dormitories, female dormitories, and single suites that could accommodate a family. The houses here have never been stopped.

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

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

"Dao Temple? What is a Taoist temple?" Adams asked in confusion.

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

It's the boss's belief, that's nothing to say.

Jiang Hao found a man who could build a building from the workers. I have to say that many Chinese people are really versatile and some people really understand architecture. Jiang Hao drew a picture of the construction of a gym, and drew a 20-acre land in the highest hilly area of ​​the farm, preparing to build the largest Taoist temple in the United States.

Not only do we need to worship the Three Qing Dynasties, but we also need schools and training centers to allow children to go to school and workers to learn some culture and gain some knowledge. Who knows if one or two awesome overseas Chinese will emerge in more than ten years and will go to China to overthrow the Qing government.

Jiang Hao has always felt that faith is very important. History has proved that a country and nation is terrible, but what is even more terrifying is spiritual emptiness. If you lose your ideals and beliefs, you have no inner constraints and no scruples, no matter how many external requirements you have, you will "reveal the laws and regulations, and there will be many thieves"; if you lose your dominant value, no clear principles, and break through the moral bottom line, no matter how abundant the material life is, it will inevitably be "gold and jade outside, but also the fragile inside."

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

Ahem, my back is too familiar, and I just slipped out of my mouth

Construction!

Construction!!!

Build a lot!!!

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

He doesn't leave any other people. How can he hand over so many projects in Los Angeles to others? Hehehe, we must make the money we took out. We don't need interest on borrowing, you don't want it.

The entire Los Angeles has now become a large construction site, with construction and sewers made of stones everywhere. Jiang Hao wants to ensure that he can use it in a hundred years. Maybe he can perform a play of "The Lion of the Killer" at that time.

The roads were poured with cement and the stone slabs were laid with auxiliary roads, which were clean and tidy. For this reason, Jiang Hao specially built a large stone factory and built a large cement factory in the mountainous area of ​​Los Angeles. He believed that after the project, he would earn back the money from several factories.

Moreover, Jiang Hao does not plan to only build these streets in the city, as the layout is too small. Jiang Hao’s planning map is nine horizontal and nine vertical, with a large area planning.

Except for the existing three blocks, there are no buildings in the remaining blocks. It doesn’t matter. There will be any land in the future. Jiang Hao has bought all the land. Only by setting up the three blocks can the price be raised, right? Real estate is a big profit-making item.

Jiang Hao even planned to build a road to his tobacco company. In order to facilitate transportation of goods, Mayor Durant said bitterly after seeing the plan: "Hall, this road is directly built on your factory, which may cause criticism."

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

He was very clear and unreasonable. Anyway, no matter how he said it, Durant had no choice but to convene the members of the parliamentary meeting again. The members of the parliamentary all said. Some people said, "Since you can build a road to Hall Manor, you should also build a road to the west of us."

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

Jiang Hao was amused and said, "I think your proposal is very appropriate. Isn't the road construction just for development? I even think it should be built to the beach."

at last

Finally, it passed, and everyone could benefit. Why don’t you agree? It is planned to build a highway from the city to the southeast, southwest and northwest. The length of the four highways reaches more than 160 kilometers, which is another big investment.

Of course, it was Jiang Hao who spent money. The funds sold to Jiang Hao by the government were suddenly gone again.

Spend money,

He spends money hard, the more he spends money, the happier Jiang Hao is, the bigger the government hole, the more profit he makes.

After the issue of building a highway, Jiang Hao raised a new issue, "Although trains can solve the transportation in Los Angeles now, sea transportation is the cheapest and most convenient way of transportation. We should build a pier, a pier that can accommodate the docking of tens of thousands of tons of huge ships."

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

"The pier where the ships with tens of thousands of tons docked, Councillor Hall, do you know how much it costs!" Some Councillors shouted.

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

"Oh my god, $3.5 million, this is really an astronomical figure. Now Los Angeles owes you more than $1 million, so where can I still have money to build a dock," a congressman shouted.

Many of the city councillors during this period were from mud legs and had no knowledge at all. The huge number of 3.5 million really scared them.

Jiang Hao said: "If you agree, I will find a way."

Durant looked at Jiang Hao, "Are you going to invest in the construction of a dock? Can you take out that much money?"

"I definitely can't take out millions at once, but it's not a matter of one day or two. It may take three years to start construction until the construction is completed. I think I can still support it." Jiang Hao said.

Others looked at Jiang Hao with envy and jealousy. If they had a million yuan in their family, they were definitely at the level of a rich man in the United States during this period.

"Hal, do you have a more specific plan? You might as well speak it out." Mayor Durant said.

Jiang Hao had already thought about it. He asked someone to bring a map of the Los Angeles region and pointed to the beach and said, "I went to the beach for a simple investigation. Here, here, and here are good locations for building a dock." Jiang Hao pointed to the later generations of Santa Monica, Long Beach and other places and said.

Jiang Hao's finger fell at Santa Monica and said, "This place is the closest to us, and the conditions are excellent, suitable for building a deep-water port. I think we can build a dock here. Of course, I will advance the funds first, and still follow the previous urban construction model, using the dock as collateral. However, the amount of funds this time is indeed too large, and I hope to get these land first."

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

Jiang Hao has been coveting Long Beach for a long time, and now he has finally shown his fangs. After seeing it, someone said: "These places are about 100,000 acres, and they are all wastelands, which are only worth about 100,000 US dollars. It's a drop in the bucket."

Someone looked at the map and said with his eyes turning: "Mr. Hall, I think the construction of the dock is very necessary, which is very beneficial to the development of Los Angeles, but the financial pressure will make the government breathless. Hall, why not buy more land."

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

"How do you think of Huntington next to you? There are San Clemente to San Diego even to the west."

Another person who interrupted next to him said, "It's better to sell him Santa Catalina Island."

Durant was about to become a land sale conference, and immediately knocked on the table and said, "Everyone, the matter of port construction and land sale repayment is just a proposal today. The municipal government still needs to plan. We can discuss it at the next meeting. Okay, let's break up the meeting."

Just like the lyrics sung by the evil nemesis Jacky Cheung, today I just asked it and took a breath away. Such a big thing cannot be decided in one sentence.

After the meeting, Jiang Hao followed the old man Durant into his office. After the door was closed, Durant said: "Hal, will it be too risky to do this? You know, it is a million investment, which may crush you in one go."
Chapter completed!
