Rebirth of the Super Landlord

With the legal teams of Su Zhen and Archie Lao working overtime, all the contracts were listed in less than three days. After tens of millions of words from Archie Lao and Archie Lao, this deal reached US$6.7 billion.

The transaction was completed, but both parties maintained a tacit agreement not to announce the news to the public, as if it had never happened.

After the transaction was completed, Su Zhen also got busy and spent a lot of time going around all these pastures and farms. Because these pastures and farms have always been managed by professional managers, it saved them the trouble of management, which would otherwise have to be done.

Equipping and managing these industries is no easy task.

For example, now, Su Zhen took Chen Fala and Mark, one of the three secretaries, to an orchard in Orange County, California. As the name suggests, the reason why Orange County is called Orange County is naturally because it is rich in oranges. In fact, there are at least 6 oranges in the United States.

Eight places named Orange County.

Orange County is located in southern California, close to Los Angeles. It is a relatively wealthy county with the second largest population in California, and there is a large Asian population here, accounting for 17% of the total population. This is a large number, among which the number

The largest number are Chinese and Korean. What’s interesting is that although it is close to Los Angeles, unlike Los Angeles, which is the sphere of influence of the Democratic Party, Orange County is completely one of the most “Republican-leaning” counties in the United States. In recent decades,

Over the years, Republican votes here have been suppressing the National Party by a wide margin.

Because Orange County is very close to Los Angeles, its economy and urbanization are developing rapidly. Nowadays, the scene of oranges everywhere like it was more than ten years ago is no longer visible. Only the old Archie’s orchard remains the same.

In fact, the entire California area south of Los Angeles, except for the mountains, is basically all cities. There are basically no farms and ranches.

Old Archie's orchard is located in the rolling hilly area in the west of Orange County, and it is not one continuous piece, but divided into more than a dozen small pieces. Although it is a hundred thousand acres of orchard, in fact it is really

The orchard area is less than half. The other half is mountainous.

The main fruit produced in the orchard is naturally oranges. California sweet oranges are still very famous internationally. However, it is already late winter and the orange picking season has long passed. Therefore, the orange trees that Su Zhen and Fa La saw were

The streets are empty, and basically all the oranges are already in warehouses and on supermarket shelves across the United States and even abroad.

Of course. This orchard cannot only have oranges. In fact, in addition to oranges, these dozen orchards also grow a large number of peaches, pears, pomegranates, avocados (avocados) and other fruits. Among them

Apart from oranges, strawberries are the most popular product in the world. The United States has the most

The largest exporter of strawberries. 88% of the strawberries in the United States come from California. California’s coastal climate is very suitable for the growth of strawberries. There are not only artificially grown strawberries here, but also many wild strawberries in the wilderness. Unfortunately,

The strawberries here don't mature until May.

"Why don't we use greenhouse technology to advance the season of strawberries?" Chen Fala sighed regretfully. Her favorite thing to eat is strawberries.

"Of course not," said Jack, the manager of the strawberry plantation. "Although using greenhouses can advance the time to market, the taste of the strawberries grown in that way will be very poor. The final thing strawberries want is taste, so not only will we not use greenhouses,

Even various pesticides are used as much as possible, and biotechnology is used to improve the disease resistance of strawberries, so that the most delicious strawberries in the world can be grown. However, if you want to taste strawberries, there are still some frozen strawberries in the orchard's cold storage.

strawberry."

"Frozen strawberries? Last year's ones? Are they not bad?" Su Zhen asked curiously.

"Haha, of course not. You have to know that our output is huge every year, and of course we can't sell all of it in just a few months, so a large part of it will be quick-frozen at minus 35 degrees.

Strawberries can be stored for 24 months. Of course, these strawberries are usually used as supplementary food ingredients. If you eat them directly, they will definitely not have the same taste as fresh strawberries," Jack said with a smile.

"Haha, that's just right. Take some with you when you go back." Looking at Chen Fala's pitiful expression of expectation, Su Zhen said with a smile.

"Of course there is no problem. In fact, if you want to take it back to Los Angeles, there is also a company warehouse in Los Angeles. You can find all the fruits grown here," Jack said with a smile.

"Yeah, that's good." Su Zhen nodded. He had never noticed this. After all, the contract was too long and thick. Su Zhen naturally had no interest in reading it one by one. He just knew

These lands have their own processing plants and companies, and they all have complete industrial sales chains.

After seeing a few orchards, Su Zhen took Fala Chen and Mark to visit Irvine City (also translated as Irvine City). Irvine City is one of the cities with the most Asians in Orange County and is an emerging city in Southern California.

The city has only been established for thirty years. However, because of its safe living environment, state-of-the-art transportation system, healthy competitive business atmosphere, formal and complete educational institutions and harmonious lifestyle, Irvine was selected by American Money Magazine

Ranked fifth among the "most livable" cities in the United States.

Of course, Su Zhen didn’t come to Irvine just to settle down here. In addition to being a livable city, Irvine is also a gathering place for many high-tech companies and is known as the “California Technology Coast.” The reason why Su Zhen came here

I am here because there is a company that Su Zhen has been fascinated by for a long time - Blizzard Entertainment.

Yes, Blizzard's headquarters is located in this city. As a die-hard fan of the StarCraft, Diablo, and Warcraft series of games in his previous life, Blizzard was a holy place in Su Zhen's heart. Su Zhen in his previous life was not a hardcore gamer.

The number of games he plays cannot be said to be large, but he has played all the games produced by Blizzard and likes them all.

When Su Zhen walked into the lobby of Blizzard Company, he saw the beautiful receptionist of Blizzard Company staring at the computer attentively. Su Zhen and others looked behind her and found that the receptionist was playing Warcraft III, but

As a veteran player of Warcraft III, Su Zhen quickly discovered the difference in the Warcraft III this girl was playing. It seemed to be a bit like the Frozen Throne?

When the little girl finished the round, Su Zhencai let out a light cough, which startled the little girl. Then she turned around and saw Su Zhen and the others.

"Hello, sir, what's the matter with you?" The girl could tell at a glance that Su Zhen was taking the lead and working at the front desk, so she still had some good eyesight.

"I am the chairman of Hongfeng Investment, and I want to meet your boss." As soon as Su Zhen finished speaking, Chen Fala Children's Shoes beside him promptly handed over the business card of Hongfeng Investment, because the reorganization of the group had not yet been completed, so

Su Zhen now mainly uses the identity of Red Maple Investment. For other identities, Su Zhen found that the name of Red Maple Investment is the most useful in the United States.

Sure enough, the girl at the front desk was a knowledgeable person and knew about Red Maple Investment, a well-known company in the IT industry. After checking the information on the business card, she picked up the internal phone and started calling.

"Mr. Chairman, please come with me." The girl smiled sweetly at Su Zhen, twisted her plump "qiaotun" and turned around to lead the way.

"Doesn't your company prohibit employees from playing games?" Chen Fala asked curiously on the way. Apparently, the scene where the girl at the front desk was seriously playing games made her feel a little unbelievable. It turns out that Su Zhen is not the only one who is unreliable... If Su Zhen

Knowing what this girl is thinking, she will definitely hit her "qiaotun" hard. How can you arrange your boss like this?

"Of course it's not prohibited. Our company not only doesn't prohibit it, but encourages employees to play more games in their free time. Even if it's games from other companies, or even employees who don't like to play games, we won't recruit them," the girl at Blizzard's front desk smiled coquettishly.

After explaining, Chen Fala's eyes widened and she couldn't believe it. Although Blizzard is a game company, this is a bit exaggerated, right?

Under the leadership of the girl, the three of them came to a reception room. Seeing the people in the reception room, Su Zhen's eyes lit up and he took the lead to walk forward and shake hands with the other party, "Hello, Allen, can I meet you?"

I'm so happy." Sitting in the reception room was none other than Blizzard's founder, former president, current chairman of the board, and Blizzard's designer, Alan Adham.

"Do you know me?" Allen was a little surprised. It was not surprising that he knew Su Zhen. After all, Su Zhen is also a Hollywood celebrity who often appears in major media. But he is different, because Blizzard's tradition is to keep a low profile, and all their energy is focused on

When it comes to game development, they are not willing to use the media to hype themselves. Therefore, although Blizzard's games are popular all over the world, little is known about the designers behind them. Even Allen, the founder, knows little about them.

not much.

"Of course, I am a loyal fan of Blizzard games. This time I came to visit the holy place in my heart," Su Zhen said with a smile.

"Wow, that's such an honor. I also like your movies very much, especially Pirates of the Caribbean. It's really cool. I wonder when the second one will be released?" Allen said.

Said in anticipation.

Su Zhen didn't expect that Allen actually liked watching Pirates of the Caribbean, so he smiled and replied, "It's coming soon, it's expected to be released in June this year."

"Ah, that's so true. I can't wait. Yes, are you here this time?" Allen asked with a smile.

"Well, what would you do if I said I came here to acquire Blizzard?" Su Zhen asked with a smile.

"Haha, come on, you are the big boss of Hongfeng Investment. You don't know that we are just a subsidiary of Vivendi. If you want to acquire the company, you have to talk to them." Allen waved his hand and said with a smile.

But to be honest, if possible, I hope you can buy Blizzard from Vivendi, those Gallic chickens don’t understand what games are at all.”

"Okay, no kidding. In fact, I was passing by Irvine this time and came to visit Blizzard as a gamer. I wonder if you can meet my small request?" Su Zhen smiled.

said.

"Of course, as long as it doesn't involve some core things, there's nothing you can't see." Allen said with a smile. It just so happens that I have some free time now, so let me show you around. After saying that, he got up and prepared to show Su Zhen around.
