Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

A vast farm in Fresno.

Under the gentle sunshine, in the endless green grassland, Lin Baicheng, Yamaguchi Momoe, and Isabella were riding on docile mare, breathing the fresh air.

This vast grassland is already Lin Baicheng's property.

When Lin Baicheng came here this time, he didn't want to see it before buying it, but came here after he had already bought it. Farms are different from private planes. Farms are generally the same. Lin Baicheng does not need to go to the site to inspect the property before deciding whether to buy it or not. Once a professional team confirms that there are no problems with the farm, he can buy it.

Due to the impact of the economic recession, the plummeting land prices in the United States have not yet passed, resulting in farm prices being quite cheap, so Lin Baicheng made a big purchase.

Here in Fresno, the climate is suitable for the development of agriculture and animal husbandry, so the price of land is slightly more expensive than in other areas, but even so, the price of an acre is only US$38.

One acre is equivalent to 6.07 acres. If converted into square meters, it is more than 4,000 square meters, and the price is only 38 US dollars. However, this is the price of land in rural farms, and it is definitely not comparable to the price of land in urban areas. If you build a property here, no one will buy it, so it is normal for the land price to be cheap.

Despite this, an acre of land only cost $38. Lin Baicheng thought that he would spend all the tax credits anyway, so he bought more.

He bought several farms in succession and combined them into a large farm of 164,000 acres, totaling about one million acres. In addition, a mountain next to these farms was also bought by Lin Baicheng at a cheaper price of only 1.5 million US dollars.

The farm plus more than 200,000 acres of land in the mountains, as well as the original agricultural products, cattle, horses, agricultural machinery, etc. from several farms, all together cost only 9 million US dollars, which was dirt cheap.

However, Fresno officials also have requirements for buying such a large piece of land.

First of all, the farm cannot be abandoned, otherwise you will lose money. You must cultivate it normally, and you will also face fines for over-cultivation. For example, there is a limit on how many cows and horses can be raised per acre, and there will be fines if they exceed it.

The reason why the farm cannot be abandoned is also very simple. Firstly, the land will definitely be worthless if it is abandoned. Secondly, the government needs the farm to employ farmers to ensure the farmers' income. Fortunately, agriculture here in the United States is industrialized and intensive farming. With the help of advanced farming machinery, each farmer can cultivate about a thousand acres of land. Lin Baicheng's farm only needs to recruit about 200 farmers.

There are also restrictions on the other side of the mountain, which prohibits indiscriminate logging. It stipulates how many years of trees cannot be cut down and sold for money, what types of trees cannot be cut down, etc. Not only the trees, but also the animals in the mountains have restrictions. At what time of year you can hunt, how many prey can be hunted each year, which animals cannot be hunted, and so on. There are a lot of restrictions.

The reason why Duoduo and Lin Baicheng are restricted from buying so much land is because as long as the farm does not encounter drought or long-term heavy rain, it will usually make a certain profit every year and will not lose money. On the other side of the mountain, it would take about twenty years to get back the money, but Lin Baicheng had never thought about making money. If he had a place to hunt in the future, the $1.5 million would be worth it to him.

Lin Baicheng has already thought about it. It is best to hire people to run the farm. It is best to make some money every year. The minimum requirement is not to lose money.

Lin Baicheng will specially select a piece of land to build a large villa. He will come here several times a year for vacation to enjoy the scenery and tranquility of the countryside, away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Occasionally riding a horse, hunting and fishing in the mountains is also a very good life.

After Lin Baicheng stayed at the farm for two days, he returned to Los Angeles.

These two days are enough for my team to make statistics and report to Lin Baicheng. It will cost nearly US$30 million to build a large villa planned by Lin Baicheng on the farm. In addition, the investment in farm machinery and other mechanical equipment will total more than US$30 million.

Calculated, Lin Baicheng's investment in the farm is about US$40 million.

Lin Baicheng approved it. Anyway, of the US$142.6 million in legal tax avoidance, the private jet only cost less than US$50 million. Even if US$40 million was spent here, Lin Baicheng still had at least US$50 million to spend.

It's a pity that luxury goods such as jewelry cannot be deducted from tax. Otherwise, Lin Baicheng would really like to buy some gemstones and diamonds to keep and give to beauties later.

In addition to private jets and farms, Lin Baicheng also decided to order three specially-made extended Lincolns that are bulletproof and explosion-proof. Although these functions may not necessarily be used, they are not the best. They are all tax-deductible anyway, and you should not be stingy when it comes to safety.

Order three units, one each for Los Angeles, Tokyo and Hong Kong.

Three specially-made extended Lincolns cost tens of millions of dollars, which is quite expensive.

Lin Baicheng used most of the tens of millions of dollars left from legal tax avoidance to purchase real estate and villas in Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco and other places. In this way, Lin Baicheng doesn't have to stay in a hotel when he goes to other cities and has a place to stay. In addition, you will certainly not lose money buying real estate in this era, and it can be considered a disguised investment.

When Lin Baicheng returned to Los Angeles, the private plane had been decided. A certain degree of modification was made based on the modified Boeing 747, which was millions of dollars cheaper. However, after calculation, the final cost will reach about 45 million U.S. dollars. The specific price will not be known until the delivery of the aircraft. Sure.

However, if there is usually a discrepancy between the estimated price and the actual price, the discrepancy will not be too large.

Good news also came from the side that entrusted Goldman Sachs to acquire. Goldman Sachs acquired the most advanced memory chip technology from Intel. Intel has agreed to sell the latest technology on sale for its own products and grant patent authorization. The reason why it is willing to sell the latest technology of memory chips on sale is because Intel has developed more advanced technology, and more advanced memory chips will appear on the market soon.

But after all, it is quite advanced technology. Although now because personal computers have just emerged, this huge market has not been taken seriously, and memory chip technology has not been taken as seriously as it will be in the future. However, Intel wants to kill Lin Baicheng with a knife. The lion opened its mouth and shouted A huge price.

Although Lin Baicheng can accept this price in his heart, on the surface he definitely cannot agree, otherwise he will not be able to acquire other technologies in the future. Other companies will follow suit and all of them will shout super high prices, no matter how rich he is Can't afford it either.

Therefore, Lin Baicheng asked Goldman Sachs to bargain. The lower the price, the higher the commission for Goldman Sachs.

Currently, the two parties are still negotiating the price, and other acquisitions are also proceeding steadily.
