My Age of Investment

Nicky, the eldest sister of the sisterhood, was going to hold a grand birthday party at the sea view villa in Tiburon town on weekends, and sent an invitation letter to Xia Jingxing, Kristina, and the dog.

Xia Jingxing held the beautifully crafted invitation letter in his hand and looked at it for a while, feeling that these little princesses lived a really delicate life.

His birthday has always been simple, having a meal with friends, singing a song and it's over.

The birthdays of most people in the country are just like him, simple.

Wearing a dress to a birthday party, and still in a sea view villa, was born directly in Rome.

Putting down the invitation letter, he glanced at the babes and puppy sitting opposite him, and asked, "Are you going to this party?"

"It won't take much time anyway, just one night, let's go!"

Although and Nicky is also a plastic sisterhood, but Christina still does not want to offend each other for no reason.

She doesn't participate much in the sorority activities now, the cheerleading team has also dropped out, and she will drop out of school in a while.

But Nikki is not an ordinary student. She has a senator father, and she has a lot of background. She can maintain a certain friendly relationship, which is naturally stronger than evil.

"There should be a lot of beautiful women, right?"

The puppy tilted his head and asked the foreign girl with a smile.

Kristina chuckled and spread her hands, "Don't ask me, because I don't know either."

"You've been at Stanford for over two years and haven't been to Nicky's birthday party?"

The puppy didn't believe it. He thought that Nicky and Christina had a very good relationship. They were like sisters. How could they have never attended each other's birthday party.

Kristina seemed to have guessed what the puppy was thinking, and laughed outright, "Do you really think I have a good relationship with her?"

"Isn't it? I think she often gives you gifts and comes to the company to find you."

The puppy shrugged, he saw this with his own eyes, how could it be fake?

Kristina was too lazy to explain too much to the silly puppy, and said bluntly: "In the past, when she was celebrating her birthday, she only invited a few girls from the best family backgrounds to the sorority. Those girls' parents are entrepreneurs, High-ranking official……

And my parents were just ordinary ranchers.

Let’s just say that when she celebrated her birthday last year, the three of us had already founded Facebook, but we were still very small and we didn’t get angel round financing.

Didn't Nikki also invite us to her birthday party? "

"Then why did you invite us this year?"

The dog asked himself and answered, "Is it because Facebook was valued at $100 million by venture capital?"

Yang Ni raised her eyelids and didn't speak. Isn't this obvious? Still need to ask?

"Hey, you just said, do you still have a pasture at home? How big is it?"

At this time, the dog noticed that Yang Niu had just said that her parents were ranchers, and asked again.

Xia Jingxing also looked at the foreign girl curiously.

Although the three of them have known each other for so long, they really did not deliberately ask about their parents' occupations and family conditions.

"5,000 acres."

With an understatement, Yang Niu directly choked the puppy and kept coughing.

Xia Jingxing was also a little surprised, the scale was not small.

One acre is approximately equal to mu, 4047 square meters.

In other words, 5,000 acres is equivalent to more than 30,000 acres and 20 square kilometers, which is equivalent to the future land of Sansha City in China.

continue reading! area, nearly two-thirds of the land area of ​​Macau.

To be more intuitive, it is a "square with a length and a width of about 4.5 kilometers".

Great Landlord!

The puppy scratched his head, "Is this an ordinary rancher? Since your family is so rich, why didn't Nikki invite you to a party before?"

Christina glanced at the puppy, shook her head and smiled and said, "Maybe you have a misunderstanding of the value of the ranch?"

The little dog snapped his fingers and helped Yang Niu to calculate the account: "If an acre of ranch sells for 20,000 US dollars, 5,000 acres, that is hundreds of millions of dollars."

The babes waved their hands,

"It's not your calculation, a pasture with tens of thousands of dollars per acre needs to meet many conditions.

Our family ranch has streams and woodlands, as well as hunting and fishing licenses, but the "carrying rate" is not very high.

Do you know the bearer rate? It refers to the number of cows that the pasture can sustain for a long time. "

After a pause, Yang Niu continued to popularize the ranch knowledge for the two of them: "In addition, the degree of groundwater pollution, flood control capacity, and regional restriction planning are also several important factors that affect the value of the ranch.

In terms of normal operation, it is actually difficult to make a profit on the ranch, because it requires long-term careful care and maintenance.

A ranch that raises dozens of cows on a daily basis usually requires a manager and at least two or three full-time cowboys. The cost of raising these cows and paying for labor is expensive.

In addition, cows, as a valuable commodity, often fluctuate greatly in price.

Disease and drought can sometimes be devastating to entire herds…”

Xia Jingxing nodded. After listening to the introduction carefully, he had a general impression of Yang Niu's ranch. It was not the one with the best location and environment, but it was definitely not bad.

There are lakes, woodlands, and fields, which integrate livestock farming, trout fishing, and hunting. It sounds very good, and it is very suitable for pastoral life.

"Have you discovered any mineral resources or oil or natural gas in your ranch?"

Xia Jingxing said with a smile, "If you find anything, then you will become a mine owner in your family."

American land is privately owned, and if the owner finds a treasure in the land, it is also the owner of the land.

"No!"

Yang Niu shook her head, "Someone came to explore a long time ago, but unfortunately, no natural resources with mining value have been found."

"That's okay."

After finishing speaking, the little dog flattered again, "Christina, when you are free from work, can you take us to visit your ranch and enjoy the natural scenery?"

"definitely no problem!"

Yang Niu said very proudly, "I sincerely invite you now, and welcome you to my ranch for this year's Christmas!"

"That's great!"

The little dog smiled brightly. After listening to Yang Niu talk about the ranch, he was envious of the idyllic life and wanted to see it.

Xia Jingxing also wanted to take a look, but he was not as thick-skinned as the puppy.

To put it aside, he has already "strongly condemned" the little dog's behavior, and this time he rarely criticized the little dog.

"This ranch is actually owned by our family, which means the ownership belongs to our entire extended family, including several of my father's siblings.

As the daily work manager of the ranch, my father enjoys the dividend right of the family trust, and also

continue reading! Work on the field, get a salary. "

Xia Jingxing and the dog did not ask in detail, but Yang Niu took the initiative to tell more details about her ranch.

After listening to this, the two nodded again and again. This is how American inheritance is.

The founder of the foundation prevents the assets from being divided by his children after his death, which affects the operation of the industry and the inheritance of wealth. Usually, a family trust is set up to separate rights such as dividend rights and management rights.

You can choose one of your children as the successor of the business, and the other children will enjoy financial dividends, not intervene in the daily operation of the industry, and avoid family infighting.

If all children are not interested in the family property, the property management can also be handed over to a professional manager, and the family trust/foundation will be specially assigned to supervise and audit.

The trust business in the United States is very developed, and many middle-class people have set up various trusts.

In China, it is generally the super rich in Hong Kong and Macau who like to set up these things.

However, as the people who got rich first in the mainland gradually get older and face the problem of "handover", family trusts have gradually become popular among the rich circle.

Although Yang Niu's father was a ranch manager and seemed to be the "heir", he was actually constrained by the family trust.

Any major event in the ranch, such as acquisition, sale, etc., needs to be negotiated with the family trust management institution and manager.

If Yang Niu’s father owes gambling debts outside and is called for debts, or if his personal investment fails, he will be personally bankrupt at best, and he will not be involved in the ranch.
