Chapter 414 I'm About to Settle This Land!
Chen Mo's team's acquisition of the three areas quickly began, but due to the limited number of teams, they proceeded one by one, starting with the Bronx in northern Manhattan.
However, soon after the acquisition, something went wrong. They found that many landowners who had just talked about it and had not given a reply suddenly sold their land to others, and some land that they had not had time to negotiate was also overpriced. There seems to be a sudden surge of competitors competing for land in these areas.
Regarding this sudden situation, Tom, the head of Chen Mo's private business team, immediately reported to Chen Mo.
"Boss, our acquisition of the Bronx has just begun, and suddenly there are many competitors. They are numerous and move faster than us. They have raised the price of the land a lot as soon as they are sold. price to complete the acquisition.”
Tom, the head of Chen Mo's private business team, came to the office in Chen Mo's manor, reported the latest situation to Chen Mo, and asked Chen Mo for his opinion, whether to raise the price to continue the acquisition and compete with them, or simply give up the acquisition, as far as the current situation is concerned. Look, even if they switch to acquiring land in Queens and Staten Island, the other party is likely to continue to follow.
It is not surprising that Chen Mo got their report. Although the people behind the scenes deliberately concealed their identities and sent a large number of agents, they created an illusion that many businessmen blindly followed the trend and snapped up because of Chen Mo's previous acquisitions. Chen Mo is well aware that behind these people is the same person, the richest man in the United States today, John Jacob Astor!
When Chen Mo first decided to attack John Jacob Astor, he had expected his revenge. Chen Mo did not intend to hide the Indians at all, which means that Chen Mo did not take the richest man in the United States seriously. .
Chen Mo is not in a hurry to acquire these lands. These areas are still too early for real development. There is not much difference between the acquisition now and the acquisition in a few decades. The price has not changed much. He just wants to take a step. In place, finish this little thing at once.
And the other party suddenly stepped in at this time, obviously seeing Chen Mo's dedication to enclosure, and wanted to pit Chen Mo.
"Boss, the current price of these lands has exceeded their actual value, and there is no need to buy them now. Do you want to continue the acquisition plan?"
Tom, the head of the business team, asked Chen Mo.
They only made suggestions, and whether to continue the acquisition in the end depends on Chen Mo's order.
"Continue the acquisition, he raised the price, and we followed suit. We have to show a stance that we must win, no matter how much money! I have to make a decision on this piece of land!"
...
John Jacob Astor thought he was secretly tricking Chen Mo, but he didn't know that Chen Mo was already waiting for him!
Now that he has already started, Chen Mo will continue directly.
Immediately, under the instruction of Chen Mo, the acquisition team immediately and appropriately increased the acquisition price according to the current situation, and finally grabbed some land, but the other party responded quickly and immediately raised the acquisition price again.
The price of these originally very cheap lands has been quickly increased by nearly half under the competition between the two sides, and if this continues, it will soon double.
In fact, John Jacob Astor did not blindly raise the price to buy it. He was actually trying it out at first. He first raised the price and snapped up some land from Chen Mo. Chen Mo also followed suit. John Jacob Astor gradually controlled the continuous increase in prices. At this time, if Chen Mo gave up the acquisition, he would have failed at most, and bought a few pieces of suburban land that were already very cheap at a higher price. That's it.
But if Chen Mo still continues to buy at a high price, it means that Chen Mo is really as he expected, he has a strong attachment to these lands, and it can even be said that he is bound to acquire it. In this way, he can carry out the next plan with confidence!
John Jacob Astor's purpose was not just to raise prices,
He slapped Chen Mo, but planned to make a fortune from it, and take back all the profits from the fur trade that Chen Mo took away from him!
When the price of land in the most competitive area of the Bronx, which borders the northern part of Manhattan, rose to 1.5 times the original price, some people began to sell it, and many land that had been bought at a low price began to be sold at a high price. , it looks like someone is following the trend of hype.
This is actually the last test of John Jacob Astor. To see how determined Chen Mo is to buy this land, he can rest assured to make the later arrangements.
The result is as he expected, as long as someone sells it, Chen Mo will buy it all without hesitation, regardless of the price at all. Now John Jacob Astor is completely relieved, and starts to use all the power in his hand to buy it. Land in the Bronx, Queens and Staten Island.
With John Jacob Astor in control of the scramble, only the southernmost area of the Bronx bordering northern Manhattan saw the highest price increases, with only marginal increases elsewhere, Queens and Staten Island The price of land has not changed much.
These lands were quickly eaten up by John Jacob Astor with his connections and power in New York for many years.
Afterwards, John Jacob Astor directly doubled the price and began to sell them, waiting happily for Chen Mo to eat them in one bite.
If Chen Mo is really an ordinary rich man from China, it is really possible for him to pay a high price to buy these lands in the hands of John Jacob Astor because of his inner attachment to the land and in order to obtain these vast lands.
Although the price of these lands has more than doubled, but compared with China, which is far more densely populated than the United States and is dominated by farming, these lands are still worth the price of cabbage.
Unfortunately, although Chen Mo also came from China, he was not China at this time.
When John Jacob Astor ate all the land in these areas, Chen Mo directly stopped the acquisition of the land, and when they started to sell the land in their hands, when Chen Mo took over at a high price, they found that Chen Mo It suddenly died down!
"master!"
In John Jacob Astor's luxurious villa, a study room with luxurious and elegant decoration, full of culture and art, the butler knocked on the door and walked in, bowing his head and screaming.
