Chapter 438 Hall and His Brothers Company
March 18, 1880, was a sunny day.
this day,
A person who has influenced the history of Los Angeles for a century, set foot in this place for the first time, his name is Jon Hall.
Jiang Hao thought so after getting off the car, but unfortunately, there was no welcome in the aisle, no flowers and applause, only the dirty and messy city of Los Angeles like a town.
Although Los Angeles is called a city today, it is really just a small town with a population of only about 11,000. It is said that there are more than 200 Chinese among them. The real development of Los Angeles is more than ten years later. After being discovered, people flocked here, and Los Angeles entered a period of great development.
Now, he is just a fringe town by the sea and not taken seriously.
When Jiang Hao and the others came to the hotel, the boss warmly received them and arranged the room, especially the gold and money. Jiang Hao let everyone rest first to recover from the fatigue of the journey.
The next day, Jiang Hao fed the goshawk and asked him to play in the field by himself, and then called everyone for a meeting.
"Guys, we have a big matter to discuss. The place is here. We are going to start a new life. The first thing is to divide the money. Are you happy?"
The men all laughed.
Dividing money is naturally a pleasant thing.
"We have gold, stocks and banknotes worth about 3 million US dollars. How do you think we should divide them?" Jiang Hao asked.
When they heard that there was so much money, everyone gave a wow, but how to divide the money, everyone was silent again.
Of course I am willing to take more money, but I am afraid I know best in my heart how much I should take.
After a long silence, Bill spoke first, "Boss, Pete and I are the first to talk to you, why don't you let me talk first, how about it."
"Of course." Jiang Hao said.
"To be honest, my previous goal was to be a robber, and I did that later. I was arrested, and you saved me. Because of your blackmail conditions, I had to follow you. Of course, I was very glad that I was arrested at the beginning. You threaten, otherwise I may be arrested again and sent to the gallows, and I will not have the colorful life I have now." Bill said.
Pete next to him gave this guy a white look, "When did you become such a mother-in-law? This is not your character."
Bill shrugged his shoulders, "I mean, actually, although we have all helped with the money, the biggest contribution has always been to the head. His plan has led us to where we are today, so I think the head should take the biggest Over there, that's what I'm going to say."
"I agree." Pete said simply.
"I also agree." The strong man Wayne said, "I think it's the most enjoyable to follow the head. He has thought of everything, otherwise we would never have gotten so much money, and I guess we would still be eating dust in Mexico."
Others naturally agreed.
Jiang Hao nodded with a smile, "Okay, thank you for your trust, then I will distribute the equity. If you disagree, we can discuss it again. Bill, Pete, and Jenny are the first to follow me, and each will own 8% of the shares. There are 7 of you, each of you has 5%, and Roy is the latest, with 3%, and the rest belongs to me, do you have any opinions?"
After listening to Jiang Hao's words, everyone began to silently calculate how much money they could get. After Bill calculated, he could get almost 240,000 yuan, which is a lot of money.
Cobain and the others can get 150,000 each, and even Roy, the crane tail, can get 90,000 US dollars. Everyone is very satisfied with this figure.
Of course, the big head is still Jiang Hao, he himself accounted for 1.14 million, but who calls him the head, he himself also contributes the most, so naturally he gets more, and they can all understand and accept this.
Seeing that everyone agreed, Jiang Hao said: "Since everyone agrees, let's follow this division standard. Next, I plan to form a group company and accept you as shareholders. Is there anyone who wants to withdraw?"
"I know that you can definitely make money by following the lead, and I won't quit." Bill was the first to say.
Others also joined in.
"Okay, I decided to give each of you 3% of the shares, and I will keep 67% of the shares for myself. Don't underestimate the 3%. I guarantee that each of you will become a millionaire or even a multi-millionaire in the future. I decided to invest 1 million, you will buy shares according to the proportion."
Good guy, Jiang Hao took most of the money away before he warmed it up in his hand.
In fact, Jiang Hao played a small trick here. He divided the money first. He could not take the money he robbed alone. Naturally, other people could share more when it was distributed. However, the shares are related to future operations, and Jiang Hao must get them. In order not to arouse resentment about the shares with the right to decide, we first divide the money and then talk about the company's shares.
In this way, Jiang Hao's group company was established.
The name is "Hall and His Brothers Company", referred to as Hall Company, and the Chinese name Jiang Hao has already been thought of, and it will be called Ritian Group in the future.
Taking Pete and Cobain to the city hall, a staff member received them, "What do you need?"
"I heard that Los Angeles is good and has a pleasant climate, so I came here to buy a piece of land and build a ranch or farm here." Jiang Hao said.
"Of course, we implement a national land policy here. Adult citizens only need to pay 10 dollars to get 160 acres of land. After 5 years of cultivation, it can be your personal property."
"If you want to buy more land, there are still many vacant areas in Los Angeles. As long as they are not sold, you can buy them directly. Of course, these may be more expensive. A good land is about 2 to 2.5 US dollars per acre. In remote places, it can be cheaper." The staff introduced.
"I want to buy more, can it be cheaper?" Jiang Hao asked.
"How much do you want to buy?"
"About 10,000 acres." Jiang Hao said.
In fact, 10,000 acres is only 40 square kilometers. The entire Los Angeles covers an area of more than 1,000 square kilometers. There are countless wastelands around, and there are countless vacant lands available for purchase.
The staff member exclaimed, "Oh, my God, ten thousand acres, this is really a big number, I need to tell the mayor."
10,000 acres, even if an acre is 2 dollars, it will cost 20,000 dollars, which is definitely a big deal in this period.
In fact, Jiang Hao can buy more, but he doesn't want to do too much at the beginning and develop slowly, with the bulk behind.
Not long after, Jiang Hao met the mayor of Los Angeles. Now, he is actually a mayor. "My name is Durant, and I am the mayor of Los Angeles. I am very happy to meet you gentlemen."
"My name is Jon Hall. They are my partners. It's a pleasure to meet you, Mayor Durant." Jiang Hao shook hands with Mayor Durant.
Mayor Durant is not tall, slightly fat, with a little bald hair. He looks about sixty years old, but he is quite energetic.
