Chapter 442: I want to be a sheriff
Mayor Durant has a good impression of Jiang Hao. He wears a straight suit and speaks politely, looking very well-educated and knowledgeable. "Does Mr. Hall really want to buy ten thousand acres of land?"
"Yes, I hope it's a good piece of land." Jiang Hao said.
"Of course, we went to my office to check it out. There was a map over there, marking the situation of unsold land, and Mr. Hall could buy it as long as it was the unowned land." Mayor Durant said happily.
Urban construction cannot be separated from people, and even more so, money. Los Angeles is located in a remote place. Recently, I wanted to build a university, but I was worried about the money for building a school. Jiang Hao came over and solved the urgent problem.
When the map was spread out, Jiang Hao felt drooling when he looked at the map. This was the land of Los Angeles. Every inch of land was valuable in later generations, but now it was a bunch of cabbage.
The entire map has been transformed into countless grids. Now only a small area is located in the city center and the municipal government is occupied by public land. Some places close to the city center are for sale, but fewer and fewer people occupy it further. The area located in the bay is no longer within the map. What does this mean? It means that no one will buy it.
Jiang Hao pointed to the hillside north of the town and said, "I see there is a large open space here. I want to buy it. What do you think of Mr. Mayor?"
The mayor looked at the map and said, "To be honest, the north is Banpo District, and the ground is not very flat, so people are unwilling to buy there. If you want to open a farm, the south is a better choice."
The mayor is a honest man. Indeed, the land on the south side of the town is flat and fertile, but he didn't know that the place Jiang Hao pointed to had oil. In more than ten years, someone bought the land in the north and drilled the wells in order to get water and drilled the oil field only a few dozen meters deep.
"I just think this piece of land is relatively neat, and the land in other places is relatively scattered. As for the south, I also want to build a place. We have 12 people, each with 160 acres of land, so we can make up a large area, right?"
Jiang Hao had a good idea. After buying it from above, he built an oil field, and naturally he would make a farm to live in the south.
"If you want, I'm fine. The land there is not as good as the south, so the price is naturally cheaper. Acre of land is $1.2 US dollars, and the entire area is about 26,000 acres. Which piece do you choose?" The mayor felt that he had done his duty.
"Are there 26,000 acres?" Jiang Hao touched his chin, "If I buy them all, can I be cheaper?"
The mayor was very happy, but it was a wasteland that no one liked. If it could be sold at one time, the university money would be enough, and many other constructions could be carried out.
"Of course, if I buy it at one time, I can reduce the price to $1. If it is cheaper, I can only call the members to discuss and decide. My rights cannot be decided." The mayor said in a dilemma.
One dollar, 26,000 acres is $26,000.
For $26,000, you can own a piece of land rich in oil, and then produce hundreds of millions of black gold. What else is there to be unwilling to do?
The famous Sunset Avenue in later generations is also located in this location.
"Just one dollar, I bought it." Jiang Hao decided immediately.
The mayor felt that today was his lucky day. He pointed to a place in the map and said to Jiang Hao: "Look here, this is a good place, very close to the town, the land is fertile, and the Los Angeles River is next to it, which can provide sufficient water supply, with an area of about 3,500 acres, which is very suitable for farming."
"You 12 people can get almost 2,000 acres of land. As for the additional 1,500 acres, I can sell it to you at a price of $1.5 per acre. You know, this is a land worth $2."
The mayor introduced Jiang Hao to a good place, which was a few hundred dollars cheaper. Although the money was not much, Jiang Hao thought this old man was good.
Jiang Hao looked at the map and found that there were several open spaces next to the ranch. Although some were divided, they were very close to each other. There was also a piece on the other side of the river. Jiang Hao asked, "These pieces should be empty too."
"Yes, as long as there are no marks, there are open spaces." The mayor said.
"I bought it all." Jiang Hao said proudly.
You know, these places were all downtown Los Angeles in the future. Why can you buy them now? What money can you spend and make money? Besides, this little money to buy land is really nothing to him.
The old man Durant looked surprised, "Really, that's great. If so, I can also give you a cheaper price of $1.8 per acre."
In the end, Jiang Hao bought a total of 6 pieces of land, 26,000 acres on the north side of the town and 5 pieces of land on the south side, each piece was about 1,000 to 3,000 acres. Some were connected and some were scattered, but not far away, they were all in the same area.
As for other wastelands, Jiang Hao did not ask, now there is no one there, just a wilderness, but Jiang Hao already has a goal in his mind, and he must get it. There are super large oil fields and excellent harbors there, so he must not let it go.
The procedures are very simple. The municipal government issued a purchase and sale agreement and signed and filed. From then on, those places belonged to Jiang Hao. Whether it is everything on the ground or underground minerals, all belonged to Jiang Hao personally.
Back at the hotel, Jiang Hao summoned everyone, put the agreement in the middle, and said, "Guys, from now on, these places belong completely to us, and our careers set sail from here."
A dozen people rode horses and transferred all the purchased lands. The few pieces of land introduced by the mayor were really good. It took about twenty minutes to ride a horse from the town, and it was not far away. Several people chose a place to decide to build their manor.
First, we will get a few wooden houses. The speed is fast and can be built in just two weeks. We can move in after decorating them in one week.
Just as the house was being built, a few people rode horses to their farm. Jiang Hao and others looked over, and naturally they saw Jiang Hao and the others. The three horses stopped more than ten meters in front of Jiang Hao and the others, but did not dismount.
"I am the sheriff of this town. You can call me Sheriff Kevin. I heard that you have come from afar and bought a large piece of land to settle in Los Angeles. As the sheriff of Los Angeles, I have the responsibility to warn you that in my jurisdiction, you must abide by the law and pay taxes according to the rules. Of course, if we need anything, you can also go to the public security office to find us."
The guy didn't even get off the horse, and after saying that, he pulled the reins and left.
Jiang Hao smiled, a gentle mayor and an arrogant sheriff, interestingly, Jiang Hao said to the brothers beside him, "Maybe I should have a sheriff."
The sixth update celebrates, pay off the debts completely, and regain freedom from today's heavy rain. Finally, thank the silver leader of "Ao Yu" again. Tomorrow, the heavy rain will breathe its own air and run towards the sun, la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
