After lunch, Ju An drove his car towards the town. The heavy snow in the community had been shoveled to both sides of the road. The dark road surface was completely leaked, and there was not even a trace of ice. It was not very clean.
, Ju An's car drove quite comfortably, and from time to time he saw a few cowboys working on the ranch shoveling the snow in front of their houses.
Ju An said hello to a cowboy: "You have a rest today? Why did you shovel the snow after noon?"...
The cowboy looked at Ju An and smiled: "In the morning, everyone went to the ranch to help. We didn't pay attention to the snow in front of our house. The snow at home was slowly swept away. It just snowed and it was difficult to walk out."
"I'll just drive slower. You can continue to do your work." Ju An waved to the cowboy clearing the snow and drove the car out of the community.
As soon as we entered the main road, it was obviously much more difficult to walk than the road in the community. There was snow on the road and the car was slipping when driving. Ju An had to slow down. Along the way, he saw cars cleaning the road on the road. From time to time, he saw
The windows of one or two houses were broken, and the small tree at the door fell on the wall of the house. It took a full 20 minutes to reach Nien's office after a ten-minute journey.
After parking the car, Ju An pushed open the door of the office and felt a warm wave rushing towards him. He stamped his feet at the door to shake off the snowflakes on his shoes and wiped the mud from the soles of his feet.
"Mr. An! Mr. Nien has been waiting for you to come over for a long time." A blond girl saw Ju An standing at the door and immediately came over and said to Ju An. This girl was hired by Nien as a receptionist and looked to be in her twenties.
She is very beautiful and her name is Ivy. Although Ju An does not come here often, one of the three major shareholders of the company has come several times and all the office employees have gotten to know Ju An.
"The road is very difficult, so it took me a while," Ju An said with a smile at Ivy, and then walked towards Nien's office.
After passing through several partitioned offices, we arrived at Nien's partition. When he opened the door, Nien was on the phone. When he saw Ju An come in, he gestured to sit down, then covered the phone and said to Ju An: "So
y!" Then pointed to the microphone.
Ju An waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, you are busy with your business." After saying that, he sat down on the sofa next to him, picked up a magazine on the coffee table and started reading. The whole magazine was filled with colorful advertisements for fashion and the like.
Something, Ju An didn’t expect Nien to see this kind of thing.
"Thank you!" Ju An stood up slightly and said to Ivy who put a cup of coffee in front of him. Ivy smiled at Ju An and walked out of Nien's office.
After just taking two sips of coffee, Nien put down the phone and said, "Should we leave now, or wait until you have a little rest?"
"Let's go now. Take a quick look at the house. Go home early after viewing. There won't be many people in the office today. It's not as lively as usual." Ju An stretched his head and looked outside the partition, but no one could be seen.
Nien stood up from behind the table and picked up the coat on the shelf: "Everyone has gone out. A lot of people have been affected by this heavy snow. Our community is better. There are many problems in the old houses in the town. We have to prepare for compensation for these things."
, the roof of a house to the east was blown off, but fortunately it was not hit."
Ju An stood up, took two sips of coffee, and followed Nien out of the office. When he got to the door, Nien got into Ju An's car and said, "Just take your car and take me back later."
"It's better to drive less when it snows."
Ju An started the car and Nien pointed in the direction. When they reached the outskirts of the town, they saw an old-fashioned building four or five meters high in the distance. It was probably the warehouse that Leonard and Norman had their eyes on.
Ju An got out of the car and took a look. The place was quite good. There was a small road right at the door. Nien explained to Ju An: "You can reach the security company in five minutes along this small road. The terrain is very good."
Nodding, it only takes five minutes to get to the security company, which means you can get to the ranch in seven or eight minutes. This is really good. It makes it easier for these scholars to get in and out of the ranch. All livestock breeds are cultivated in the ranch.
While he was looking around, an old man came over and stretched out his hand happily when he saw Ju An: "An, I've been waiting for you to come over for a long time."
"Style! There's no point in waiting for me. If the price isn't right, I still won't buy it." Ju An smiled and shook hands with the old man. He knew the old man Ju An and had a farm of his own, not far from Ju An's pasture.
Recently, if you grow some greenhouse vegetables and the like, you are a vegetable farmer in Chinese terms.
"My price is absolutely fair," Steyer said with a smile, then shook hands with Nion, made a gesture of invitation, and led the two into the warehouse.
The entire warehouse is empty, the floor is made of cement, and the roof is made of very high beams of thick wood, which looks very strong. However, the temperature in the warehouse is very cold now, and several windows are broken. Now the entire warehouse is empty.
There was a strong wind in the warehouse, and it felt even colder than outside.
Damn it! These two old men just fell in love with this shabby house? Ju An despised the two professors in his heart. They both had such bad eyesight. They were even worse than the old factory house that Wu Ming rented for him to house aquatic products. How could he say it was better?
There are two tables, connected here
There are no two broken tables, just four walls and a roof. If they were placed in China, the dozens of thick beams on the roof might be worth some money, but this is his uncle's west, and there is an abundance of this kind of wood. Buy an open space to get it.
Any temporary house is better than this one.
"Tell me about your price. You can see it clearly at a glance," Ju An said to Steyr.
Steyr thought for a moment: "Fifty thousand US dollars, together with the land."
"Fifty thousand U.S. dollars, I said it would be a pity for you not to become a robber, Steyr." Ju An pointed to the ground and said, "Are you going to sell me a little over five acres of land for fifty thousand U.S. dollars? I'll give you thirty thousand at most."
Steyr smiled bitterly and said: "An! Thirty thousand is really too little. I still have such a big warehouse here. It can be used with a little renovation."
"This shabby house can't be built for even 5,000 U.S. dollars. Plus the land price is 30,000 U.S. dollars, which is very good. It also helps you avoid the annual real estate tax." Ju An said to Steyr, the reason why he still has so much money
Regarding the price, Ju An felt that this house was a bit pricey and shabby.
It's rotten. In Ju An's view, the final outcome is to overthrow the new life. Technology is the primary productive force. Wei Jin told Ju An when he was a child that all the people here are scientists, doing science in this environment.
Those who didn’t know better thought that my brother was abusing scientists.
"Forty-three thousand, this is the lowest price," Steyr said through gritted teeth as he looked at Ju An.
"Thirty thousand!"
"Thirty thousand is really too little." Steyr looked at Nien and said to the two people: "This land is very close to the town. The price of the land alone is close to 27,000. Plus,
It costs more than thirty thousand dollars to go to this big warehouse."
"It's okay if you don't mention the house. If you mention the house, I'll be angry. Can I use this house now? Look at the air leaks everywhere. It would cost me thousands of dollars to repair them." Ju An pointed to a few broken houses.
The window said: "There's not even a heater inside. Do you think you can squat down in this cold winter?"
"This was not put in originally, it was a warehouse."
"Thirty thousand is really a lot. I said Steyr bought your land and I might have to find money to knock down the house. Do you think this cost me a lot of money?" After saying this, Ju An faced Nin
He winked.
"I think An, you can add a thousand dollars, thirty-one thousand dollars," Nien said with a smile to Ju An, understanding Ju An's intention very well.
Seeing that Steyr was still hesitating, Ju An continued: "You can decide whether it's 30,000 yuan or less." The price of these few acres of land on the edge of the town is about the same. No matter how much it is higher, it won't be worth it. If you go outside,
Land is cheaper, and the town spent $30,000 to buy a warehouse.
There are really not many. Those who can afford it are squatting in the wilderness and playing with their own pastures and farms. The key is that those who can afford it have nothing to do and buy a warehouse on the edge of town. They already have it on their land. And
Land is not a scarce resource in Lewiston, but US dollar cash is.
"Okay then, let's settle the deal for $31,000." Steyr thought for a moment and stretched out his hand to Ju An. The old man's face immediately smiled, and he was not at all depressed as before. When he encountered money,
All the things were done with great acting skills. Thirty thousand is about the same price as this land. It’s not much more, but not much less.
The old cowboys were not as accustomed as businessmen. They agreed on the price and looked through the agreement that Nion brought. The entire agreement only had two pieces of paper. After reading it briefly, he signed on it.
Ju An took out the checkbook from his pocket, but couldn't find the place. Qianjian wrote the check on the wall, tore it off and handed it to Steyr: "Look at this warehouse, there isn't even a table."
, do you think he is worth a thousand dollars?"
Steyr put the check into his pocket: "It's all yours now. I don't have any objection to it being worth whatever you think it is." After the old man finished speaking, he patted the key to the door lock into Ju An's hand: "This is
Now that we have handed over the key to the door, do you want to stay and take a look? I will go home now."
"If there's anything good to see here, let's go." Ju An said to the old man and followed the old man to the door. When he left the warehouse, Ju An locked the door and saw that the old man had already driven out of the door in a broken pickup truck.
Ju An got into the car and said to Nien next to him: "We have to find someone to connect the heating in the next two days. The person Leonard and Norman invited will come over after Christmas."
"Such a large warehouse will probably need to be separated by partitions," Nien put on his seat belt and said to Ju An.
Ju An started the car and used Break 1
i's door with two wooden pillars: "As for how to separate it, I still have to wait for the two professors to arrange it. My work is done. I will build a better laboratory when the weather is good next year."
"Then I'm done with this matter. I'll come to the office to attend the shareholders' meeting when I have time. You haven't been here for several years," Nien said to Ju An.
While looking at the road, Ju An smiled at Nin and said, "Just take a look at accountant Charlie. No one in the firm knows me, so there is no need to attend any shareholders' meeting. Is there someone who wants to steal your partnership seat?".
Nien shook his head after hearing Ju An's words and stopped mentioning the matter.
When he arrived at the door of the law firm, Ju An put Nien down, and then drove the car slowly along the road toward his home in the community.
