A total of nine farms.The nine farms that are connected together have been confirmed by satellite scans and topographical confirmations, with the confirmation of Colorado state government staff.Their total area is 548,693.91 acres.If there are some people who don't understand the imperial unit, then we can convert it to the metric unit, and the 548,693.91 square acres is 2,220.48524 square kilometers.Rounded up, this is 2,220 square kilometers.If we don't know how big 2,220 square kilometers are, we can look up at a city on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, under that country.The Pearl of the Orient, once one of Asia's financial centers, is Xiangjiang.Let's put it this way, the land area of the Xiangjiang River is only 1106.34 square kilometers, which is still the area only after years of river sand alluvial accumulation and some land reclamation.2,220 square kilometers is the area of two Xiangjiang!
So you can imagine what a piece of land Abel bought!
But don't think it's so big, because Abel's farm, even if it is 2,220 square kilometers combined, its area is not in the world, even in the United States, it can't be in the top ten.Because the largest single farm and ranch in the world, it covers an area of 23,677 square kilometers, which is larger than the land area of the country of Israel!
Don't think that having 2,220 square kilometers of land is remarkable, and you are a super big landlord.In the world, such a small amount of land can't even enter the top 30.Not to mention the first place of the Roman Catholic Church, which owns 71.6 million hectares of private land.It is the world's largest non-governmental landowner, with 71.6 million hectares converted to square kilometres, which is 716,000 square kilometres.That's almost the size of three British!
If it's an organization, not an individual.The individual with the most private land should be Australia's Gina Reinhardt, who owns 12 million hectares of land, or 120,000 square kilometers!
Also half the size of the UK!
Underneath these two, there's a whole bunch of guys from millions to hundreds of thousands of hectares.The land that Abel owns now is nothing compared to these people.What's more, his 2,220 square kilometers were originally divided into nine farms or ranches, under the names of eight different owners.He bought them one by one, and finally formed a large piece, so that he had such a large area of super-large manor combining agriculture and animal husbandry.The negotiations were short, because the team led by Frank and Roosevelt had already negotiated a price with them.In addition, Abel gave money happily and generously, and the contract was signed very quickly.Half an hour after Abel's arrival.Nine contracts were signed.Abel spent nearly $1.3 billion in total, including the price of the land and the high transfer taxes.And that's not even counting the debts of the original nine farms, which were about $247 million in debt, which would automatically pass on to him when he bought them, according to the requirements of both parties.In total, more than $1.5 billion was spent.In fact, this is more than the price of these lands, which were originally worth up to $1 billion, and with some other properties on the land, they would not reach $1.3 billion at most.Once Montana's largest irrigated ranch, the 124,000-acre BrokenO ranch was sold for just $135 million.BrokenO's conditions are much better than those on these farms in Colorado.It's just that this price is the previous price, and after counting inflation and some miscellaneous factors, about $1 billion is the normal price.But Abel doesn't care.Because his legal team and finance team told him that the money spent on buying land did not need to be taxed.Abel, who has always been worried about tax issues in the future, heard that he could avoid taxes on a large scale, and the special plot of a part of Huaxia's soul about land made him not mind some small losses.Bought the nine farms and ranches with a combined area of more than 540,000 acres at a premium.Now he is also a big landowner!
After signing the contract and confirming the transfer of funds, Abel declined the invitation of several original owners who sold the farm or ranch at a high price, sat on the Ford F650 with a smile, and began to patrol his own territory like a king under the leadership of Roosevelt, who had already inspected the terrain.Departing from the small village of St.
John's, after crossing the stream called Newkhi, the convoy entered a seemingly vast pasture.Originally called Aroken Ranch, the ranch has a total area of 89,000 square acres, a price of $123 million, and a debt of about $20 million.Now it's Abel's.The convoy stopped in front of the ranch, and Roosevelt took out the notes he had prepared a long time ago, compared the pasture, and said softly: "This is the Aroken Ranch, with about 80,000 acres of high-quality pasture, and it is planned to raise more than 20,000 sheep, 8,000 cattle, and 3,000 horses at the same time!"
There is abundant water in it, and the irrigation conditions are very good!
There are currently 6,634 sheep, 3,560 cows, and 235 horses!
There were originally 58 staff members, but now 28 have left, and the remaining 30 are still waiting for your boss to be released. ”Abel nodded.said he heard it himself.Then whispered, "Go to the next place." ”The convoy then left the Aroken Ranch and headed for another nearby farm of about 70,000 acres, which was in excellent conditions in a huge valley.Abel had been touring his farm and pasture all afternoon, and it was not until the evening that he returned to the small village of St.
John.The four Hollywood beauties, too, came to the small village of St.
John's while Abel was patrolling his own territory.Because this small village, in the large tract of land that Abel bought, is right in the very center.There are streams, hillsides, meadows and forests, and it is close to other farms and pastures.Even though it's not far from the San Juan Mountains and just a few miles from the San Juan National Natural Park, it's very easy to get around the farm.That same evening.After returning to the small village, Abel simply decided that this small village would be the centerpiece of his super manor in the future.The Basques in Los Angeles, he's going to move all of them here, and he's going to provide them with free housing and new jobs.In this way, the name here can no longer be St.
John's Village, after all, the name St.
John's Village was chosen by the original owner.Abel gave the village of St.
John a different name.From this day on, the name of this small village is Abel Manor, after his own name!
A total of 540,000 acres of land of about 2,220 square kilometers will be renamed Sephorosa Farms, and a Qingqing Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Group will be established to take care of everything on the surface.Colorado's official business has finally come to an end.
