Beauty Comprehensive 1999

Seeing that David Stevenson was wavering, Tom Walton also took out his trump card.

"Mr. Stevenson, do you know the Perron Manor not far away? It wasn't originally called that name, but something bad happened, so now it has a new owner..."

Sure enough, after hearing what he said, David's face changed drastically.

If it weren't for the fact that there was no other way, Walton wouldn't actually want to use this method.

Because if you kill an enemy by one thousand, you will lose eight hundred. Once your employer, Mr. Sherman, knows that there is a haunted house nearby, what if the employer regrets not buying it?

But now it seems that this employer is very fond of this place, or he doesn't care about the so-called haunted house, so he has no intention of going back on his word. This can't help but make Walton feel relieved.

David Stevenson also cursed the ghost manor in his heart.

If it hadn't been for that place destroying the feng shui of the area, his ranch might not be losing money like it is now, and it could be sold at a higher price. Now it can only lower the price.

Foreigners are actually very superstitious. After the Feng Shui theory was first spread to foreign countries through Hong Kong Island, many wealthy people believed in it. Even when building real estate or choosing a location for a commercial building, some foreigners would ask for help.

A well-known Feng Shui master came to take a look first.

David Stevenson obviously believes in this a little bit. In fact, as an out-and-out local, his ancestor was even one of the people who took the lead in planning to burn the witch Bathsheba, so even though he

He was a little skeptical about the witch's curse, but what he had read and heard since he was a child also influenced his opinion, and he was very taboo about this legend.

He chose to sell his ancestral ranch not only because the ranch had been losing money for years, but also because of the so-called witch's curse.

And it is specifically stated in the contract that if the buyer breaks the contract, the seller has the right to deduct the deposit, and if the seller goes back on the contract, he will compensate the buyer three times the deposit.

Tucker Simmons was very excited after hearing this.

He is not impatient with such mundane matters as daily management, so naturally it will be easier for him to find a reliable butler to continue taking responsibility.

"Then you can ask those people on my behalf. If they are willing to come back to work in the ranch, I can hire them with the same treatment as before. After all, such a large ranch, just relying on these few people is still a bit small."

Seeing that the other party said it simply, David Stevenson stopped worrying. For him, getting the money as soon as possible is the real thing.

"Two hundred and twenty thousand! This is also my lowest price. You must know that this is a large piece of land of 220 acres. It is rare to buy such a large piece of land in the greater Luocheng area. The Luocheng government is smart.

It's very interesting. Seeing that the land prices have risen in the past two years, the real estate industry still needs to improve. All the municipal governments have kept the land in their hands and are reluctant to sell it. Such a large land only costs 220,000 gold pounds. I think it is already very good.

What a loss, if you weren’t in a hurry to use money..."

"Okay, my lawyer is in Los Angeles. I'm available at any time."

Now I think that this should be attributed to Simmons, the director of the ranch.

Tucker Simmons, the head of the ranch, looked very depressed. Apparently, he felt disappointed and aggrieved that the ranch he had taken care of for half his life changed hands and was abandoned by the owner he had once been loyal to. He also felt disappointed and aggrieved about himself.

The fear of possibly facing unemployment.

I saw that my former employer didn't miss the ranch at all, and even drove away as if he was running away.

"I, thank you, BOSS, I think the cowboys on the ranch will definitely appreciate your generosity!"

So I said goodbye to Xie Zihao immediately, took the money and left, looking like he didn't want to stay here any longer.

It is of course great for him not to leave the foothill ranch that he has worked for for twenty years, especially the cowboys on the ranch. In recent years, due to poor management, Master David has laid off several people.

Now all that is left are the breadwinners of the family. If he loses this job and the industry is in recession, he doesn’t know what will happen to those old guys.

Xie Zihao nodded:

The two reached an agreement and signed a contract of intent on the spot under the witness of Walton. In order to prevent the other party from going back on his word, Xie Zihao generously paid David Stevenson 30,000 gold pounds in cash as a deposit for the transaction.

David Stevenson was a little hesitant about this, wondering if there was something wrong with it? Moreover, three times the deposit was 150,000 gold pounds, and he simply couldn't come up with so much cash at once.

So he did not comfort this person, but just said:

"Mr. Simmons, although I have taken over the ranch, I have no plans to lay off employees so far. The operation of the early ranch will continue as usual. I will consider future management issues after I build the manor."

"Then how about we sign a contract in Los Angeles tomorrow?"

For him who just wanted to be an apartment boy and a playboy in the prosperous City of Angels, there was no psychological burden at all for him to sell this cursed ancestral property.

"Don't thank me, I'm just thinking about myself. To be honest, I plan to build a manor on the ranch. If the site is chosen here, the staff's residence may have to be moved to another place. Currently, the employees of the ranch have

How many?”

So he gritted his teeth and said:

Seeing that a gap had opened, Tom Walton was full of motivation and began to lower the price again. Finally, the price stopped at 200,000 gold pounds, and David Stevenson once again refused to let go.

Xie Zihao thinks that Mr. Simmons seems to be quite responsible. Otherwise, before coming here, Tom Walton would not have said that although Foothill Ranch has been losing money for many years, the losses are not big. If it were not for the general environment, maintaining

It is still possible to break even and make a small profit.

…

Simmons responded immediately:

"In addition to me, there are only four left. There were originally seven other people, but they were all fired by Mr. David!"

I have to say that Xie Zihao thinks that this dude still has some economic acumen and vision. I don’t know if what he said is his own analysis or what he heard from others. It is indeed in line with the future situation.

"Okay, that's the price! Mr. Walton will arrange to sign the contract of intent. Whenever is convenient for Mr. Stevenson, we can formally sign the contract when our lawyer arrives, and my money will be credited directly to my account."

Now that he can save this job for everyone, Simmons is of course grateful to the new boss.

But in the end he signed it because he couldn't think of anything that would make him regret it, and he had long wanted to get rid of this loser.

"no problem!"

Seeing this situation, Xie Zihao didn't care about the 12,000 yuan, and there was no need to waste time just for this little money, so he motioned to Tom Walton and said:

Xie Zihao asked about the situation of the ranch. Although Simmons was in a low mood, he was still able to answer immediately. He memorized all the data and basically spoke it. He was obviously a qualified ranch steward.

Anyway, his father's and grandfather's generations had almost split up and sold the ranches, so he was no longer an unfilial son.

In fact, the Foothill Ranch is just a small and medium-sized ranch of more than 200 acres, and the real livestock land is only about 100 acres. If modern machinery is used, three people can be busy enough to work on the entire ranch.

However, Xie Zihao has no intention of making the ranch bigger and stronger, as long as it can maintain a balance of income and expenditure. Besides, the price of purchasing that kind of agricultural machinery is not cheap, so it is better to use it to hire a few more people.

He did this not for anything else, but simply to hire more locals, which would improve his local reputation and prevent him from being too ostracized by the locals.

Otherwise, if a rich man suddenly buys the largest local ranch with history, it will easily arouse the jealousy of some people, and this is how gossip often spreads.

The price comparison in the previous chapter was wrong. It should be 250,000 gold pounds. Compared with the protagonist's previous life in the United States, it was about 2.5 million to 3 million dollars.
