Chapter 22 Buying Land
Graff was a little embarrassed. The woman looked at him with a guarded look, and the man looked at him with a little hope. The problem was that he was not the one who could make the decision. So he took a step back and highlighted Dulin's status, and then said in a muffled voice: "This is our boss."
The man's face clearly showed a surprised expression, but his eyes became brighter. In this world where capital is king, if a young man said he wanted to buy something expensive, there were only two possibilities.
He is a liar.
He is a young master from a rich family.
A young man who can afford Graff's body and threatening appearance may not be a liar, and even if he is a liar, nothing here can attract his interest. Just like those merchants who have been to ask about the price before, the high price has dispelled their thoughts. Instead of buying a ranch like a wasteland at a premium, it is better to buy wasteland directly.
Of course, the price of wasteland is indeed cheaper, but there is a small problem here, that is, time.
Purchasing land is not a simple thing. Since a ranch tycoon's crazy land enclosure caused public outrage, the empire has become particularly careful in selling land, and there are also many procedures. For example, buying a piece of wasteland for development of ranches or developing farmland, it must first be approved by the "Yaoxing Empire Land Use Office". From sending approval to approval, if there is no problem, it will take about twenty days.
Then we must strive for the votes of farmers, herdsmen and a few urban residents around the target land. 60% of them will be able to enter the next process.
No matter what you do when buying a piece of wasteland, it is impossible to buy it completely in less than two or three months. This is why Du Lin came here even though he knew that wasteland was cheaper.
He couldn't wait that long, otherwise the three suppliers would be crazy, and he might be prosecuted by them for fraud.
The man's expression calmed down, put down the lock in the door, and opened the door, "Welcome to you, no matter whether we can satisfy us in the end, I welcome you."
He made way open the door, and Graff and two members of the fellow countrymen guarded the door. It was useless for them to enter, and it might affect Dulin's subsequent negotiations, so Graff was very clever to avoid such a situation and he stopped going in.
Dulin followed the man into the supplies, and the woman stood aside with a golden brown haired girl in her arms, looking at Dulin with longing.
They were already forced to get desperate. In the spring of the previous year, they took 800 yuan from a man named Morris in the city and bought 60 calfs and some necessities. Unexpectedly, it took only two years to grow to 3,000 yuan. A few days ago, they took away 60 cattle that could be sold for 2,000 yuan, but they actually only offset 800 yuan in principal and 2,200 yuan in interest.
They could no longer afford even a penny, and they had reached the end of their lives. The other party said that if they could not get all the money at the end of the month, they would attack the women at home.
After several waves of businessmen were welcomed and sent them away, the family was already desperate, and the man had the determination to die. If the other party really wanted to take action, he would definitely take action. Kill one and earn another, and then the whole family would set out together.
Just when he was desperate, he unexpectedly encountered a new turning point.
"My name is Hu'en." The man asked to pour a glass of inferior fruit wine to Dulin. Generally speaking, most rural farmers and herdsmen would brew some inferior wine by themselves. It doesn't matter whether they are good or not. This is one of their few pastimes.
Du Lin raised his hand and raised the mouth of the wine pot. Hu En put the wine pot down. He held his hands uneasy and his fingers swayed back and forth, like his anxious heart, "Actually... I know that such a price cannot satisfy anyone, but this is the last thing we can sell." His haggard eyes when he looked up really make people feel a little pity and sympathetic, but Du Lin is a businessman. When he has a deal, he must not be moved by external things.
He just nodded, indicating that he had understood. The man showed such an expression and smiled bitterly, "How much can you pay?"
But Dulin didn't say any price, but asked, "Can you tell me about the guy named Morris?"
The man was a little strange, but this might be his family's last chance. Whether it was straw or anything, he had to seize it. "Morris is a provincial (Xing) man who runs a deli restaurant around the corner of Seventh Street. He has some subordinates who specialize in 'helping' some people who are in urgent need of money. It is said that he is a member of the gang, so..."
According to Hun, Dulin felt that this guy named Morris was not too rude. It took 800 yuan for two years to become 3,000 yuan. Such a conscientious lender was really "helping" those people who were tight. In Dulin's dream, those financial companies were really unscrupulous. One hundred yuan only took two years to make millions. To be unlucky, it can only be said that Hun chose the wrong investment direction.
Of course, all this has nothing to do with him. He picked up the cup and took a sip of the fruit with a fishy smell. It was not a very delicious fruit wine. Then he slowly put it down. "Mr. Huen, I think I already understand. If I decide to buy your farm, are you sure you will pay Morris?" He took out a cigarette from his arms and lit it, and said slowly: "I don't want to be implicated in any trouble."
Hu En nodded vigorously, "Of course, sir, I want to end all this early and then return to my hometown to start a new life." Hu En's eyes shone brightly. At this time, he realized that Du Lin was very likely to buy his farm, which was very good news for him. Once he got rid of the heavy debt and had some money in his hand, he could go to another city to work as a carpenter, or reclaim some wasteland as a farmer or herder.
Du Lin thought for a moment and said, "For the sake of my sympathy for your experience, I will give you at most 1,800 yuan." At this time, Hu En's face suddenly changed. When he wanted to say something, Du Lin raised his hand to stop him, "If you buy a piece of wasteland with the same area as your ranch, it will only cost 1,500 yuan at most, and you should also understand that because you are negligent in management and repair, the pasture is almost not much different from the wasteland."
"I exchanged the extra 300 yuan for two months of approval time. Speaking of which, you have made a profit. After all, there is no job that can make you and your family earn 300 yuan in two months."
Seeing Dulin shut up and not talking, Hun immediately said: "But I owe Morris 2,200 yuan, and we still need to travel expenses to leave here, and we still need some money to start a new life..."
Dulin laughed and shook his head, "You made a mistake. Sir, the money you owe Morris is what you owe him, not what I owe him. All I need is this farm, not paying you back and giving you an extra money to give you some time to start a new life." Dulin stood up and patted his trouser legs, "I am just a businessman, not a philanthropist. If you are willing to sell this ranch for a thousand and eight hundred yuan, you can find me at 117 Queens Avenue."
Seeing Du Lin leaving, Hu En's hands slowly clenched into fists and his arms were trembling. Seeing Du Lin's foot had already stepped out of the door, he suddenly stood up and shouted and wait. When Du Lin turned around with doubt, Hu En took a deep breath, making his voice less trembling, "I want to discuss with my wife."
"No problem, then I'll wait outside the door for a while, you have five minutes."
The slowly closed door finally closed the gap. Hu'en's wife and daughter walked over from the restaurant beside her. The woman's face was filled with sorrow. In fact, the real reason why Hu'en spoke up to keep Dulin was that Dulin had the highest price among the people who came to ask about the price. Before Dulin came, the highest price was only 1,600, and many people bid between 1,200 and 1,400.
They just calculated that Hu En urgently needed some money to save his family, and took advantage of the situation to buy this farm with a total area of 480 acres at an extremely low price!
As for what to do if the money left after selling the land is not considered by the merchants.
As Dulin said, they are all businessmen, not philanthropists.
"What should I do?" The wife leaned in Hu'en's arms and hugged her daughter. The huge interest had already put the woman on the verge of collapse. If she couldn't raise enough money by the end of the month, she would choose to commit suicide to protect her chastity. Of course, she would leave with her daughter and would not let her continue to suffer in this world. Even Hu'en had a decision before Dulin came.
But hope appears inadvertently, causing the family who are desperate to fight with their lives to suddenly improve again. One thousand eight hundred yuan is only a gap of 400 yuan to 2,200 yuan. Four hundred yuan is indeed a lot, but it may not be possible to have no way out.
The daughter looked at her parents with sad expressions and suddenly asked, "Why can't she sell it twice?"
Before Hu En could react, he said something, but his wife reacted very quickly. She immediately squatted down, clutched her daughter's shoulders tightly and asked, "You said you sold twice just now? Did I hear that right? Did you sell twice?"
My daughter nodded and told me what happened in school these days.
In the country school where she lives, there is a classmate who is in a good family and likes to read comics. This classmate often sells the comics he has read to other students at a depreciation price, and adds some of them and can buy a new comic. Two days ago, the classmate was called away by the teacher. Later, everyone found out that he had agreed to sell the comics to A, and the money for selling the comics on the way home was lost.
The classmate who suffered losses was unwilling to lose money and lost the comics, and quietly sold the comics to B...
