The Nadak District, with the town of Nadak as its center, includes the two large valleys of Panoch and Idrija, as well as many pastures in the hilly areas.
Hill grazing land and valley pasture land are almost the same area.
After eating something casually at noon, Chen Mo drove the convertible Reventon out. It had just been serviced, and there was a faint fragrance of gardenia in the car.
Chen Mo took off the carbon fiber plate from the roof, put it in the front hood of the car, went back to the house, found a pair of sunglasses and put them on, drove the car to the Moro Valley, picked up Moxi, called Cons and a few accountants, and set off together.
Nadak Town.
"Boss, you drove a limited-edition Lamborghini supercar over to negotiate with someone. This... doesn't seem to be good. The other party is prone to raising prices." Moxi sat in the passenger seat, feeling the wind blowing comfortably, and ran for a while.
Talent.
"I don't have to buy those two valleys. If the price is right, buy it. If the price is not suitable, don't buy it. If the other party is sincere about the sale, let's talk. If not, forget it." Chen Mo opened Raventon alone and clicked on the root.
Cigarettes... Revington is different from other big guys. There is a slight delay when shifting gears, but it is very smooth and not irritable at all.
Such a car is not suitable for racetracks, but is more suitable for roads and country roads.
It is very enjoyable and refreshing to drive such a car...
"I prefer the Central Valley, the Monterey Valley, or independent valleys with big lakes. In the two valleys of Panochie and Idria, it will take a lot of money and time to buy them back and renovate them."
Moxie spread his hands: "If you are willing to look to other states, there are many ranches for you to choose from, even large ranches with private airports."
"In that case, I have to buy a private jet." Chen Mo smiled.
The straight-line distance between Nadak Town and St. Beni Town is only about 10 kilometers, but it has to pass through a large mountainous area. There are no roads in the mountainous area... There are several hidden dirt roads that can be used cross-country, but it also requires a detour.
If you take the road, you first have to go to Pinos City. From here, the whole journey is almost 90 kilometers.
The ancient asphalt road between the valleys has been built for who knows how many years. The ground is full of cracks and repairs...
There is dry sand on the road, and cars kick up dust as they drive over it.
On both sides are the hills of the large pastoral area. There are no densely packed tall trees. What you can see at first glance is dry and yellow pasture.
There are grazing goats eating grass roots...
Entering the Panoch Valley, the terrain here is not flat. The undulating hills are all withered and yellow scenery.
There are also large areas of flat grassland.
All the pastures on the grassland have been harvested, and desolation and barrenness hit us.
Chen Mo drove around the valley several times and saw several seasonal rivers that dried up and the temperature in the valley was obviously higher.
"Unless it can be connected to the irrigation system of the Central Valley, such desolate semi-desert land has little value." Chen Mo sighed and said.
"I'll go to the water conservancy and irrigation company tomorrow. It shouldn't be difficult to connect to the irrigation system." Moxi smiled and said.
"Let's take a look again. I wonder if these two valleys have terrain suitable for building reservoirs..."
Kang Si called and they were already at the mayor's office, and Chen Mo also drove over.
California is experiencing drought, and the Nadak District has only had two light rains since May this year.
It's the same in St. Beni. It hasn't rained much this summer. There are several mechanical wells hundreds of meters deep. Water is pumped every few days, but the water is getting less and less...
But it's okay over there, there's an artesian well that keeps flowing, and a reservoir that intercepts the water.
That is, the Terai Valley Reservoir, but it can only meet the water demand of the Terai Valley and cannot support the Tarai Valley...
The mayor's office is a small wooden house with many people gathered inside. They are all residents of the valley...
This area has been short of water for more than a year or two. The town had previously thought about connecting to the water channel irrigation system of the Central Valley, but the cost was not something the residents of the town could afford. There were also disagreements about the business model, etc.
For other reasons, there are two large valleys here, neither of which are connected to the irrigation system...
Next to the mayor's office is a primary school with two small classrooms and two stadiums.
There are 4 dairy farms and 14 private ranches in the entire Panoch Valley. There are about a hundred people living here.
Chen Mo drove the car in, and a large group of people looked at Revington, unable to take their eyes away.
"This is my boss, Mr. Chen Mo. This is Mr. Moxie, CEO of Valley Ranch." Cons stood next to a man in his forties or fifties wearing a cowboy hat: "This is Parker, from the small town
The mayor of the town.”
This town... is even poorer than the previous town of St. Beni. There are only a few small houses in the town...
"Hello, Mayor Parker."
"Hello." Parker looked at Chen Mo and was surprised by Chen Mo's youth.
"I just saw Panoch Valley. The environment here is worse than I imagined... Please forgive me, if I buy Panoch Valley, the cost of renovation may be several times the acquisition cost.
"
Parker smiled bitterly: "Let's go in and talk."
Entering the office, Parker looked at the people around him and gave a brief introduction. These are all big landowners in the valley. One family even owns 20,000 acres of land...
"Mr. Chen Mo... our town has voted to join the town of St. Beni. Although the land in the Panoch Valley is not good, it is large enough... I would like to hear your quotation and how to relocate us.
"Many people in St. Beni Town have become rich. Even pastures in remote areas are said to have begun to connect to the river valley animal husbandry system. According to the technical standards of river valley animal husbandry, semi-concentrated breeding methods are adopted... to produce fresh milk and beef.
, Goat milk, directly adopts the TBL certification system, fresh milk can enter the factory, and depending on the quality of beef, sheep and mutton, some are directly purchased by restaurants, and some go directly to supermarkets... The higher the quality, the higher the price. There is no need to worry about sales.
problems, and there are quite good profit margins...
"Let me talk about the land price first. Hill land, 1 acre, 300 US dollars. Plain land, 1 acre, 600 US dollars. In the entire valley area, as long as there is one person who is unwilling to sell, I will give up the acquisition..."
The residents of the valley and the big landowners all looked at each other.
The price for acquiring large pieces of land is too cheap. Especially for plain land, it rains every winter in this area, and winter planting can also produce a lot of output.
The valley is about 53,600 acres. There are 20,000 acres in the plain area, and the rest are slightly undulating hills... Then the entire valley is only more than 20 million US dollars?
"Mr. Chen Mo..." The big landowner Anthony's expression was stiff. He would never agree to such a price. Mayor Parker glared at him...
This Parker is Anthony's uncle. They belong to the same family. Then he looked at Chen Mo: "It's just money? It's too little."
"Of course it's more than that."
Spending more than 20 million yuan to buy a piece of land of more than 50,000 acres, no matter how poor it is, is impossible when you think about it, this is California.
Chen Mo continued: "Then there is the issue of resettlement. I will build a resettlement community in the town of St. Beni. The cost of each house is 300,000 and 170,000 respectively. A family can choose a house with 300,000 yuan.
Or two houses worth 170,000 yuan. The design, construction, and cost information of the houses will be made public and transparent. Finally, you will be compensated for a new pasture..."
