Chapter 514 The Conversation Between the First and the Eighth
In the next day or two, Gallentat's slender arms and legs will be seen on the lawn of Ju An's house from time to time. Teddy doesn't care about Galentat, anyway, Wu Song will help Teddy when he is free. Di Rao, Clockwork and Spring are very welcome to Gallentat, as soon as they see Gallentat's figure, they will happily go up to them, and then lie down at Gallentat's feet to let him Give yourself a scratch.

Just after Ju An walked out of the gate after dinner, he saw Galentat serving the clockwork and the spring. One of the two guys was lying on his stomach with his head held high, and the other was lying on his stomach, enjoying himself intently. Hearing Ju An approaching, he opened his eyes and snorted as a greeting, and continued to close his eyes for comfort.

"You do have stamina!" Ju An squatted next to Clockwork, stretched out his hand and grabbed Clockwork's stomach twice, and Clockwork stretched out his hind legs and stared slightly two or three times.

Gallen Tate said with a smile: "I'm going back to New York tomorrow, and I won't have time to scratch them in the future. What a bunch of cute animals."No wonder!This has scratched the boss.

"Have you negotiated with Sanders?" Ju An asked.

Galentat nodded: "Well! Sanders finally agreed with my design. When the time comes, I will take the cowhide back to New York and make a new water rein."

It’s not surprising that Gallen Tate convinced Sanders. After all, Sanders is a cowboy, and he doesn’t specialize in making leather goods. Gallen Tate is a designer, not only for fur. Research also far surpasses Sanders, and persuasion is a matter of time.

"When will you leave tomorrow?" Ju An asked Galentat with a smile.

"Plane at ten o'clock tomorrow".

Ju An nodded and said nothing, watching Gallentat scratch his chin twice for the clockwork.

In the evening, Ju An squatted in his study, listening to the progress reports of Liang Jianguo and several other people in detail, of course, there were two supervision teams from the United States and China, and one was the manager who would manage these buildings in the future It took nearly two hours for people to report, and this conference call ended, and it was basically the same as last time. Apart from wood and stone, and preparations for building materials such as cement, the rest is nothing.It will take several months just to prepare for the start of construction. Now every piece of stone strip or floor tile has to be taken into consideration, and a detailed plan is slowly being perfected.

The next day, Gallentat was sent away, and the little days of living in peace and stability flew away again.Seeing that it was almost time for the gathering of the supporters of the Democratic Party, it was more than an hour before the meeting that Ju An took Dana wearing an evening dress and boarded his plane.Ju An and Dinah didn't plan to spend the night in Helena, the plan was to fly home directly after the party.

When they arrived at Helena's airport, a car came to pick up Ju An. A white man in a suit and leather shoes helped to open the car door, and Ju An helped Dinah into the car.As soon as the car turned around, he saw a Bombardier Challenger 850 slowly approaching the tarmac. Ju An watched the plane move slowly through the car window, and finally fell behind.

When they arrived at the meeting place, the security guards at the door checked the invitations of the Ju An couple in detail, and then looked at the photos. The inspection was very careful. Now there are two bombings in big American cities from time to time, which really makes Americans a little All grass and trees are soldiers, and this time is a gathering of supporters of the Democratic Party. A large group of people are rich. If this is taken over by terrorists, it will be big news.

The car entered the gate and went around for a while before arriving at the gate of a five-story stone manor building. The waiter helped to open the car door. Ju An got out of the car first, and then stretched out his hand to help Dinah get out of the car. Dinah He followed Ju An, holding Ju An's arm in one hand, and holding a small bag in the other hand, which was of course a GA2M product at home.

Walking into the hall, there were quite a few people, chatting in twos and threes, most of them were white, only a few sporadic two Asian faces, more than half of them were women.

Ju An's face became more conspicuous. Some of them, Ju An knew, were all big landowners in Montana. As one of them, Ju An had heard of them, but hadn't talked much about them.Ju An led Dinah all the way like this, and from time to time someone next to him nodded and greeted Ju An politely, and Ju An also responded with a smile.

Following Dinah to the side of the house, the two of them each took a drink from the waiter and chatted while drinking.

Not long after chatting, I heard someone next to me say: "Hi, Mr. Ju!".As soon as Ju An turned his head, he saw a man with a mustache and a white woman with curly hair. Both of them were about 50 years old. The man had brown hair. Ju An knew that this was Stan who had just been surpassed by him. Kroenke, his wife is the famous Wal-Mart heir, Ann Walton Kroenke.

"Hello! Mr. Kroenke!" Ju An smiled and stretched out his hand to Stan Kroenke. He didn't expect this man to greet him. The media said that he was taciturn, and he avoided the media even more.Then he introduced to the Stans and said, "This is my wife, Dinah."

Dinah shook hands with the Steins, and the two women chatted.

"This year you have surpassed me in the land. I wanted to buy your land, but who knew that you were the first to do it?" Stan Kroenke said to Ju An with a smile and raised his wine glass.

Ju An raised the wine glass in his hand: "I only know that there are two competitors, but I don't know who. Since one of them is you, who is the other? I want to know."

"John Malone" Stan Kroenke whispered a name from his mouth.

Ju An was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "The United States is really small!".When I bought a piece of land by myself, I suddenly met two of the top ten landowners in the United States, and finally squeezed out one.

Stan Kroenke said with a smile to Ju An: "This year you are the eighth of the top ten landlords, and it is the first time you broke in, and the media's eyes on me, the ninth, will be a little lighter."

Ju An chuckled, buddy, isn't this the tenth place? Why did he suddenly enter the eighth place? If it didn't push Stan Kroenke down, who was it?Pingree or Kinnon or the Reeds?After thinking about Ju'an for a while, I drove this thought out of my mind. Anyway, one is always squeezed out, so it doesn't matter who it is.

In the media, Stan Kroenke is called Silent Stan, because this man rarely speaks in front of the media.Moreover, the management style is honestly very similar to Ju An's own. They both use managers and give the managers the greatest power to manage assets in this way.Stan Kroenke's net worth given by the media is 30 billion US dollars, which should be about the same as that of Ju'an. Originally, Ju'an hadn't shown much in the past two years. As soon as this software company went public, Ju'an's worth began to gradually increase. Forget it, Ju An will definitely be on the Forbes list next year, although Ju An doesn't like this reputation very much.

"Are you planning to invest in the timber industry? If Mr. Ju doesn't mind," Stan Kroenke asked Ju An.

Ju An shrugged: "Call me well, Mr. Kroenke, I am not planning to invest in the timber industry, but I am planning to invest in the tourism industry and plan to build a large-scale scenic spot there!".

"Then you can call me Stan, that's what my friends call me. Now the tourism industry is developing well, thanks to Chinese tourists for saving the American economy." Stan Kroenke said with a smile to Ju'an.

"Except for my hobby of land, it seems to me that the tourism industry can invest a little bit. I don't understand anything else, and I dare not go into the water." Ju An glanced at Dinah and Ann Walton who were two steps away. Kroenke watched the two women chatting enthusiastically.

Stan smiled at Ju An and said: "You can invest in the sports industry, but this industry is just a bit bad, it's too eye-catching."

Thinking of the basketball team and ice hockey team in this man's hands, the one Ju An is most familiar with is the Premier League Gunners Arsenal.

While chatting, Ju An's impression of Stan Kroenke changed a bit. Maybe everyone has two sides. Although chatting with Stan is not very talkative, it is definitely not the silent Stan described by the media.

"Let's introduce some friends to you." Stan led Ju An to the crowd, and introduced several people one by one. Of course, they were all landlords, and some Ju An knew their names. I have never seen or heard of it.

Finally, when he came to a white-haired old man, Ju An knew at a glance that John Malone, the number one landowner in the United States, had nearly 400 million acres of land, far away from No. 2 his old friend Ted Turner, who had 200 million acres. .Since Malone also bought a million acres of woodland in Montana, it was no surprise that he was at the party.Now it is popular for rich Americans to go to Montana Land, the scenery here is good.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, John Malone said to Ju An, "An! The woodland you bought was really quick to get started."

Ju An said with a smile: "At that time, I didn't know that the two of you were also interested in this woodland."Ju An was just being polite, even if he knew that the two were interested, Ju An couldn't just let go after hearing the reputation of the two, there is no such thing as that!Everyone speaks with luck and bids, which is fair to everyone.

"I regret it now! If there is a little more land, it will be mine. I have two woodlands." John Malone stretched out his hand and drew in the air: "In addition, the woodland you bought just happens to be a large piece of land. , if you are interested in selling it, I can buy it at your price plus $500 million, what do you think?".

"The two woodlands next to you are also yours? How about this, you sell me both woodlands, and I paid 1000 million dollars more than you bought them, so you don't have to worry about my woodlands, and there is another A lot of cash!" Ju An said with a smile.

John Malone smiled: "It seems that the land will not reach me in my lifetime."

Ju An is only in his 30s, and John Malone's loess is buried up to his neck. No matter what, it's impossible to overwhelm Ju An.It is estimated that when the time comes to Ju'an, it is impossible to sell the land.Hearing what Ju'an said, both Stan and John laughed.
