Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 1635 Bought 300 square kilometers for [-] million dollars
This is only the land area. Since this territory is adjacent to the sea, according to Ailan's law, the area within 280 kilometers of the sea belongs to the owner of the territory.Calculated according to this regulation, the sea area attached to this territory is about [-] square kilometers.

Since this sea area does not produce any seafood and is not of much value, Earl Morton does not intend to include the area of ​​the sea area in the calculation of the transfer fee, and it should be given to the buyer for free.

Niu Xiaoqiang quickly read the document, then raised his head and asked a question: "Mr. Earl, I don't know how you judged that there are oil resources under this land?"

Earl Morton immediately answered the question. He pointed to several places on the map that surrounded the land, and explained: "These places have all explored oil resources, and they surround this land. Judging from their distribution, the land surrounded by them is very likely to contain oil resources."

In order to lower the price, Niu Xiaoqiang smiled and shook his head: "Mr. Earl, I'm sorry to say that you may not know much about oil exploration. There have been many such things in the world-two adjacent places, Oil was discovered in one place, but no oil was found in the other no matter how deep the exploration well was drilled. Therefore, the discovery of oil in several surrounding places cannot be used as the basis for you to judge that this land contains oil resources. "

When Niu Xiaoqiang said this, he changed the subject: "Of course, the possibility of oil exploration is not completely impossible. It can only be said that it is a little higher than other places. I can buy this land at a price slightly higher than the market price. Just take it as luck, but you can’t use it as a means to drive up the price, I hope you can understand my concerns, please make an offer now.”

If calculated according to the market price, this piece of land is actually not too valuable.Although its area is very large, almost reaching [-] square kilometers, its location is too far away, and most of the land is mountainous and hilly, so the area that can be used for agricultural production and commercial development is less than ten percent of the overall area. one-third.

This is the biggest reason why Earl Morton's ancestors used this land as a vacation estate instead of conducting profitable business activities.

Earl Morton certainly knew that the market conditions for this piece of land were actually not very good. If there was no connection with oil, no one would be willing to pay for it.

Hearing Niu Xiaoqiang's words at this moment, Earl Morton fell into thinking.He is obviously a person with little experience in business negotiations. If it was other negotiators, he would definitely list the benefits of this land. .

While Earl Morton was thinking, Niu Xiaoqiang took a sip of hot tea.His demeanor looked very relaxed, and he looked confident, as if he had the chance to win.

After about 30 seconds, Earl Morton finally spoke.He did not quote the price, but gave Niu Xiaoqiang the initiative to quote: "Mr. Niu, you were introduced to me by Windsor, which is why I came all the way across the Atlantic to meet you in the United States." The reason is, since it is the person introduced by Windsor, I can still trust it, otherwise, you can make an offer first, if I think it is suitable, we will make a deal, if it is not suitable, neither party should blame anyone, what do you think?"

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded slightly: "In this case, let me make a price. I am willing to buy this piece of land at a price of 1000 US dollars per square kilometer. Of course, when calculating the area, the sea area cannot be included, and only the area on land can be calculated. The area, I can calculate the price based on [-] square kilometers, the total price is [-] million US dollars, I wonder if Mr. Earl is satisfied?"

This price is nearly double the market price, but there is still a certain gap between Earl Morton's psychological expectations.According to his own expectations, the overall selling price of this piece of land cannot be lower than 500 million US dollars, otherwise he feels that he is not worth it.

The price Niu Xiaoqiang offered was 500 million US dollars lower than his psychological price. Earl Morton shook his head slightly after hearing the quotation, showing a disappointed expression: "Mr. Niu, your quotation is much lower than I expected, otherwise , I will quote my final expected price, if Mr. Niu thinks it is OK, we will make a deal, what do you think?"

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded slightly: "No problem, please offer your price."

Earl Morton did not hesitate at all, and directly quoted a price of 500 million US dollars. After hearing this, Niu Xiaoqiang was not in a hurry to express his opinion.He pondered for a moment, seemingly making an assessment.

Earl Morton was a little nervous. He had encountered financial problems recently, so he thought about earning money.Otherwise, according to the consistent tradition of nobles, selling ancestral property is a very shameful and good thing, and it is impossible for Earl Morton to do it unless it is absolutely necessary.

He is not very good at business matters, and he feels that reaching a deal as soon as possible can reduce setbacks, otherwise he will continue to show his face, which is a shameful thing for Earl Morton.

Niu Xiaoqiang pondered for a while, then glanced at Windsor, smiled and said, "For Princess Windsor's sake, let's each take a step back. How about I offer 300 million dollars?"

Windsor helped smooth things over: "Uncle Morton, it's not easy for you to come to the United States all the way, but it's only a difference of 200 million US dollars. If you don't want the 200 million US dollars, you can agree to it. It will save you a lot of trouble in the future."

The trouble Windsor mentioned meant embarrassment, and Earl Morton felt a little hot on his face after hearing her words.

Speaking of which, the land he owned was sealed to their family by the ancestors of Windsor. Now that the direct descendants of the family said such things in front of him, Earl Morton would certainly feel embarrassed.

Earl Morton was rarely so embarrassed. He was very uncomfortable with this feeling. In order to get rid of this feeling quickly, he no longer insisted on his bottom line, nodded slightly: "Okay, let's make a deal."

Niu Xiaoqiang chuckled and wrote a Citibank check on the spot and handed it to Earl Morton.Earl Morton took out the certificate of ownership of the land after receiving the check, and completed the transfer procedures with Niu Xiaoqiang on the spot.

Since this piece of land is privately owned and is still entrusted by the royal family, the Irish government has no right to ask about the sale of this piece of land.
