Chapter 8: Selection
The forest and greening efforts are quite impressive, and the quality of life in this city is exceptionally high, which greatly appeals to Jiang Hai
The highways in the United States are not particularly wide, but once you leave the city, the national roads are all highways, and there are almost no exits from the highways. Additionally, the road surface is smooth, which is difficult to compare with domestic conditions. When purchasing a sports car in the country, the first thing to do is to raise the chassis, otherwise, after driving half a mile, the chassis would be ground down. However, in the United States, there is no need to worry about these issues
At this moment outside the airport, a car had long been waiting there. Upon seeing the figures of Jiang Hai and the person beside him, a white driver gently nodded and opened the car door. The two did not stand on ceremony and directly took their seats.
Subsequently, they went to another place, the second destination was also in the south, Orlando, a small town, yet a well-known leisure city. However, it was somewhat too close to South America. While Jiang Hai was surveying the area and wandering the streets, he witnessed a robbery. Well, this place was also eliminated by Jiang Hai.
Looking at the scenery before him, Jiang Hai couldn't help but click his tongue. Given the current situation, this place is the one he is most satisfied with.
I know that you are anxious, but the plane is not stable. How can you get down? Jump down?" Jiang Hai said to this person with irritation
The large city of Los Angeles goes without saying; in addition, there are many other places, such as San Francisco, which can be considered a settlement for Chinese people in America. The local customs are quite good, and at least incidents of anti-Chinese sentiment rarely occur here
The most important aspect is that the climate is quite pleasant, characterized by a temperate maritime climate, with distinct four seasons, and winters are not too cold
Because it was initially decided at the auction house to come to the United States to inspect the land, everything proceeded very smoothly.
In addition, there are some other cities, such as San Diego and Irvine... In short, California is a very suitable place for Chinese people to live. However, Jiang Hai gave up on this place at the first opportunity for three reasons: first, the land prices here are too high; second, there is a severe shortage of freshwater resources; third, the Chinese population here is mostly from the south, and he did not find any sense of hometown.
Fortunately, Jiang Hai does not need to squeeze in with them in this city, as the place he intends to reside is in the suburbs
"Look, Jiang, this is our goal this time, the Green Forest Manor." As Will Anthony pointed to the scene outside the window, Jiang Hai instinctively glanced over, but with just one look, his pupils began to dilate.
In the end, they decided that the places to go were Boston and New York. To be honest, even the most optimistic person did not feel that it was possible to find a good place in New York, and even Jiang Hai did not have such thoughts.
"Jiang, should we return to the hotel to rest first, or should we go check out that piece of land? It is not far from the airport, and it would take about an hour to drive to the city center." As he looked at Jiang Hai sitting there, the chatter continued.
Oh, I did not expect that my employer is so intelligent, not only wealthy at such a young age, but also so knowledgeable about underground matters, which truly makes me feel ashamed!" Upon seeing Jiang Hai expose his words, this person was completely unfazed and continued speaking.
This area is also a coastal region, and compared to California and Seattle, it cannot be considered an earthquake zone, so the chances of experiencing an earthquake are not very high, which is an advantage. As for the weather, it is generally average, with occasional blizzards; however, for Jiang Hai, who lives in Ice City, what is a blizzard? It is nothing to be afraid of. Compared to California, Boston does not have the threat of earthquakes, it is not as hot, the prices are lower, and most importantly, there are pastures.
As for the chatterbox beside him, named Will Anthony, he is a Black man and a staff member of Phillips stationed in the United States. He was specifically sent to accompany Jiang Hai because he is the only one who can speak fluent Chinese, or rather, to show Jiang Hai around the land here in the United States. There are many places in California that are suitable for Chinese residents.
Because this place has been abandoned for a period of time, there are almost no cattle or living beings.
"Don't try to fool me, do you think I don't know where this is? The place we are going to is in the opposite direction of the city. This is General Edward Lawrence Logan International Airport, Boston is to the south, and we are heading to Winthrop, which is to the north!" With a displeased glance at the person next to him, Jiang Hai took out his phone, which displayed the map of Boston.
Including the well-known first dynasty of the NBA, the Boston Celtics, who achieved eight consecutive championships, is also here
However, this natural landscape alone was enough to shift the balance in Jiang Hai's heart. After driving for about ten minutes, the car finally arrived at the entrance of a large ranch. At that moment, a middle-aged man was standing in front of the ranch. Upon seeing the car slowly approaching, a trace of worry flashed across his face, but he still managed to muster a smile and walked over to greet them
As expected of the world's third-largest auction house, Phillips' capabilities are indeed on display there
The highway is good, and the speed of the vehicle is naturally fast. Before long, they have already arrived at Jiang Hai's destination this time.
While calculating, the car was also speeding forward
Subsequently, Jiang Hai purchased a flight to the United States, with his first stop being California
"Go to Winslow." Seeing the man's actions, Jiang Hai said to the driver in front, then leaned back in the rear seat, continuing to nurse his morning grumpiness. It has been almost a month since he received this sum of money.
The world's first telephone line originated from here, the birthplace of the national sport also comes from here, and the birthplace of basketball also originates from here
This city has abundant freshwater resources, and even more abundant seawater resources, after all, it is located by the Pacific Ocean
Subsequently, in the city of Portland, Oregon, he also felt that it was quite nice. Portland is known as the City of Roses, and it is not just an empty title; it is a perfect garden city, with a vast number of pastures on the outskirts, making it indeed suitable for ranching. Moreover, the people are relatively friendly, which makes it the second choice for Jiang Hai. The only issue is that there is no sea here
However, Boston is indeed a nice place, and the world's understanding of it primarily stems from its universities
As the airplane came to a stop and the gangway was connected, the two individuals exited the aircraft. Due to Jiang Hai's card, they did not need to queue for security checks and directly proceeded through the special passage, arriving outside the airport.
Jiang Hai used to be a pseudo-fan of football, so he still has a good impression of this place
On the other side of the forest, a vast ocean comes into view. Between the ocean and the green grass lies a stretch of golden beach. On the other side of the beach, there is a small estate where many small trees are planted. However, Jiang Hai knows that these are not actually trees, but grapevines. The greatest advantage of this estate is that it is a comprehensive estate that integrates a ranch, a fishery, and a winery. It can be said that whatever you wish to enjoy, it is all available here.
A voice within him was telling him that this was the place he wanted
Compared to Seattle, there is also no threat of earthquakes here. Although the land prices are slightly higher, nothing is more important than life
Not overly trendy, completely dry, it is indeed a place very suitable for human habitation
"If you don't shut your mouth, you clever employer, you will be replaced." After glancing at the person again, Jiang Hai lowered his voice and said. Upon hearing Jiang Hai's words, the person immediately closed his mouth.
What? Florida and New York? Well, Jiang Hai actually did not consider purchasing land in these two places from the very beginning
Home to the world's most prestigious institution, Harvard University, the leading School of Economics, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the foremost music school, Berklee College of Music, as well as Ivy League members Tufts University and Boston College, it can be said that this is a university town. Furthermore, this city is considered one of the most historically significant in the United States, being the origin of the world's first electric street.
"Haha, Jiang, you are truly humorous." Upon hearing Jiang Hai's words, the other party, completely unbothered, replied in a strong accent from Henan Province.
"Hi, Jiang, we should get off the plane now." Just as Jiang Hai was slowly stretching and preparing to sit up, a somewhat flamboyant voice rang in his ear. Upon hearing this voice, Jiang Hai couldn't help but glance at him with a sense of helplessness.
With the roar of the engine gradually subsiding, the harsh sound of the massive tires grinding against the runway also reached Jiang Hai's ears, causing him to frown slightly. He gently pulled away the eye mask that was still stuck to his eyes and looked out the window. When he saw the clear sky outside, the displeasure in his heart dissipated somewhat.
Subsequently, they went north, first to Seattle in Washington State. To be honest, Seattle is quite nice, and Jiang Hai holds it in high regard
At this moment, in his eyes, the estate known as the Green Forest was truly beautiful. Looking out of the car window, the first thing that caught his eye was a sea of green grass, with blades reaching about knee-high, gently swaying in the breeze. Further away, there was a vast expanse of forest. After all, this was a coastal area, where the sea breeze could be quite strong, making it necessary to plant trees to mitigate the wind's impact on the grassland.
This is considered the primary location he is contemplating, but the only issue is that it is as prone to earthquakes as California
Compared to Oregon, this place has the sea; well, apart from the sea, it seems that nothing else can compare.
While others require a month to obtain their passports and visas, they only needed ten days for them to reach Jiang Hai's hands
Walking through, the educational level in the Boston area is quite high, and the cleanliness of the streets is also very high. However, when looking at the urban area, one feels that the entire city is quite crowded. Indeed, this place is considered one of the birthplaces of America, and during its initial construction, it was very congested.
