American Ranch

Chapter 306 The Ranch on Hawaii Island

Moxi's head froze...

He knew that Chen Mo had sold 30.00% of the shares in River Valley Ranch for $2 million.

But Chen Mo had $3.7 million in bank loans before.

Now I want to buy Small Gourd Valley...Small Gourd Valley, the name given by Chen Mo, is precisely 'Shang Gourd Valley'.

The Panocchi Valley and the Idrija Valley, the Panocchi Valley is like the lower part of the gourd, and the area is relatively large.The Idrija valley is like the top of the gourd, with a slightly smaller area.

The combination of the two valleys looks like a gourd on the map.

Little Calabash Valley has to pay $1 million and take over $7000 million in bank debt.

For the Big Calabash Valley, at least a budget of 4500 million US dollars must be left.

Chen Mo also wants to make charitable donations. A school from elementary school to junior high school needs at least several million dollars.Then there are donations to support the construction of the town...

Now they are planning to buy planes and yachts. How much money is there?

But it's nice to follow a super rich boss.

Moxi smiled: "Boss, are you really going to buy a private jet?"

"If there is a suitable one, the price is not high... In a few years when the economy improves, you can sell it without too much loss." Chen Mo's request was not a dream.

Under the financial crisis, luxury goods such as limited edition supercars, second-hand business jets, luxury yachts, super luxury houses and so on have all depreciated in value.Especially for private jets, the price of private jets is mainly affected by the relationship between supply and demand. When the economy is good, more people buy private jets.The economy is bad, and more people are selling their planes...

If you have a private jet, travel will be much more convenient.For example, Chen Mo wanted to go back to Montana for a long time to see his Snow Mountain Ranch. Without a private jet, he needed to transfer, which was very troublesome. He hadn’t gone back to the Snow Mountain Ranch for several years.

There is another reason, Chen Mo also wants to buy an island ranch for vacation and pasture cultivation.

For Chen Mo's high-quality grass, he had to find a more plausible source.

Before on the Big Island of Hawaii, Chen Mo wanted to buy a ranch in the south after passing through the southern pastoral area.But compared to the pasture, Chen Mo wanted his own private island more... Tuliu.com also has private islands for sale, but those islands are relatively small in size.Apart from vacation, there is no other use, it is more suitable to buy a ranch on the island.

It is also convenient to have a private jet and buy a seaside ranch in Hawaii.

Thinking of this, Chen Mo turned on the computer and searched for Hawaiian farms and ranches, and easily found the information he wanted: "Come and have a look here, the Katik Ranch at the southernmost tip of Hawaii, with an area of ​​more than 700 acres, only 500 million US dollars."

"The southernmost part of Hawaii, there are many pastures there, and I have traveled there before." Moxi slid a stool and leaned over, smiling.

"I just came back from there a few days ago. Tell me, is it possible to buy the entire Cape Plain..."

Moxi touched his forehead: "God, this cape has more than 2 acres. All...and there are parks in this area."

"I have money... There is a saying in the United States that if you have money, you can even buy the president." Chen Mo clicked on Google Maps and measured the area. What Chen Mo saw was the green grassland with a total area of ​​1.75 acres.

Chen Mo and Ellie have been there, and there are very few public lands.There are two dairy farms and several pastures, all of which seem to be white man's pastures.

The pastures of the white people are not the pastures of the aboriginal people.

Native Hawaiians are Polynesians... There will be some family ranches on the aboriginal ranch. The ownership of the ranch is complicated, and it is a ranch handed down by the family. Unless a price that is hard to refuse is offered, some ancestral ranches may not be willing sell.

If it were all white man's ranch, it would be easy to talk about.

"The residents on the island are not easy to deal with. Like Zuckerberg, he got into a lawsuit... But here, it's pretty good, there are not many other residents on the map. You have been there before, and you think it is possible to buy it?"

Chen Mo shrugged: "I just passed by and took a quick look. Look here, the southernmost point, this used to be the Dawson Dairy Farm, which went bankrupt. It's a ghost town now... a dozen buildings are covered with vines , has become a tourist spot. There are more than 4000 acres of land there, and I don’t know whether it belongs to the bank or private people.”

"Look it up and you'll find out..." Moxi clicked on Tuliu.com, Dawson Ranch, the southernmost tip of Hawaii...

Chen Mo has been paying attention to that ranch for a long time.I read it in the newspaper before, because of the bankruptcy caused by the low price of milk.

"It belongs to Wells Fargo. A few years ago, it was owned by Citibank. It was auctioned publicly in 17, and it was bought by a Japanese... The year before last, it was in the hands of Wells Fargo."

"Ness..."

Chen Mo then called Cohen: "Hi, Cohen."

"Hi, Mo...you must have something good to do with me."

"I want to buy a piece of land under your bank's name, located at the southernmost tip of Hawaii Island, 4357 acres of land."

"OK, I'll check it out for you, wait a moment..." Cohen called his assistant, and Chen Mo stared at the computer for a few minutes before Cohen said, "The number of that piece of land is LH.9091XXxxx, with an area of ​​4357 acres. Our bank only owns 60.00% ownership of three. You want [-]% ownership?"

"of course."

"Okay, let me ask you the price."

"Well...you log in to the computer, and I'll send you a photo."

"it is good……"

On the Internet video call with Cohen, Chen Mo sent a photo of the large triangular green grassland land in the southernmost part of Hawaii Island delineated on Google Maps: "If I am going to buy this whole piece of land, how much is it expected to cost?" money."

"1.75 acres?"

"Ah."

Cohen pondered for a moment: "Does the local government of Hawaii intend to sell the surrounding land..."

"uncertain."

"As far as I know. Most of the land here is privately owned..."

"There is not much private land in that area." Cohen interrupted Chen Mo: "It is a common phenomenon in Hawaii that there are some privately owned small pieces of land on a larger piece of land. The ownership of these small plots has become blurred. That is, the land without an owner belongs to whoever occupies it. As far as I know, a lot of land on the Big Island of Hawaii has no title deed..."

Like Lanai Island in Hawaii, it is a private island in name, but in fact there are many residents on the island, as well as a city.Private islands, land titles are all a little fuzzy...

Chen Mo smiled: "I want to buy this piece of land, which is completely private. And, it is best to own a part of the private sea area, which can be used for mariculture and fishing."

Cohen was a bit overwhelmed: "You need a real estate brokerage team. If you are sure that you need to buy the entire cape, our bank can negotiate and buy it for you. But I don't know, what price do you accept?"

Chen Mo stroked his chin...

I now have less than $4.3 million in my bank account.

The valley ranch needs money, at least 2 million US dollars is left, maybe not so much.Because there is still money in the account of the valley ranch...

If you want to buy a ranch in Hawaii, you must buy a private jet.Reserve 5000 million?
After thinking about it, Chen Mo quoted: "1.5 million."

The Big Island of Hawaii is not Kauai (Kauai) or Honolulu (Oahu). The price of ranch land here is not that expensive, plus it is during the financial crisis... 1.5 million, but it may...not enough...

Cohen thought for a long time and shook his head.

Last year, 9091 acres of LH.4357XXxxx had been listed on land trading sites for $1.2 million.It's just that it hasn't been sold... The price tag is 1.2 million, and the devil knows how much room there is for price reduction.

Chen Mo wants to use 1.5 million to get the whole Cape, it's impossible.At least it will cost more than 2 million... and the private sea area he wants may also be a little troublesome.

"In this way, our bank will first send a business delegation to find out the situation there. If it is confirmed that we can win the whole cape for you, then we will offer you a quotation. If you can't win it, forget it..."

"How much is the business group?"

"If it doesn't work, 30. If the whole cape can be won, the price will be calculated separately." Cohen said with a smile.

"OK. I'll come to San Francisco tomorrow morning, get your men ready soon."

"Sign the contract tomorrow, and I will let people go tomorrow..." This is the characteristic of Wells Fargo Bank. It is customer-centric and will try its best to do what customers need.This is true of all banks in the United States, but only for big customers, big customers who can pay enough fees, after all, banks want to make money...
