Rebirth 1912 starts with people on the Titanic

Chapter 43 Houston is full of cow

Bruce owns 40% of the original shares of Petro-Cal.

These shares have also appreciated in value as California oil has grown.

By now, Bruce has made a preliminary estimate that 40% of his shares should be able to mortgage a loan of 5 million meters from the bank.

It's just that Bruce doesn't want to take it all to the bank to stake the loan.

He has taken all the factories and companies in his hands to make mortgages.

If this is the case, all the shares of California oil will be pledged.

The vampires at the bank must have seen the fact that they were very short of cash, and then tried to lower the amount of his loan.

This time to Texas, Bruce has already calculated the approximate amount of money needed, which is enough to ensure that he can successfully win the super oil fields in Texas.

For the case where Bruce suddenly wants to mortgage the company's shares.

Hantec was also very surprised.

He looked at Bruce in the study with an indifferent expression on his face, and his expression was extremely solemn.

"Bruce, can you tell me why you're doing this?" asked Henda in a solemn tone, "It's not that I don't want to lend you money, but I'm just puzzled. After all, this is not a small number, and it has a direct impact on the relationship between our three shareholders. I hope you understand my concerns. "

Bruce nodded slightly, "Handar, I understand your concerns very well. But please allow me to keep it a secret for the time being, and when the time comes, I will tell you why. When the time comes, I'm sure you'll be happy with this decision. "

Seeing that Bruce was reluctant to speak, Handar also sighed.

He picked up the loan contract drawn up by Bruce on the table, looked at it, and immediately tore it in half.

"Handar!" Bruce moved slightly, already understanding Handar's intentions.

Handar smiled and said, "You're so stubborn and you can't refuse. We don't have to be so serious between us, I still have a lot of confidence in you. "

Saying that, he looked up with emotion and said, "Speaking of which, the first time you said this to me, it seems that it was when you first came to Los Angeles. At that time, I didn't think you could really find an oil field in Canada. It turned out that you gave such a big surprise. "

As he spoke, he laughed, "I don't want to tell me why I'm in such a hurry to raise a lot of money, but I'm willing to keep believing it, Bruce." Good wishes. "

"Thank you, Handa!" Bruce said with a grateful glance at Hendah.

So Bruce borrowed 3.5 million meters from Henda Brown's family for a 30 percent stake in the Cal Oil Company.

With the accumulation of the Brown family in California, this Handar can still be easily taken out.

After getting the money, Bruce took the remaining 10% of the shares to the bank and pledged them again.

Since California oil is an extremely high-quality asset in the industry, Bruce easily borrowed 1.5 million meters from the bank this time.

In this way, before and after, the sum of zero and zero adds up, and Bruce already has a huge amount of cash of nearly eight million meters.

This is a huge wealth that everyone in the United States is amazed by.

Bruce had never had such a huge fortune in his previous life, but he didn't expect to travel once to make it so easy.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed!

With this huge fortune of more than 8 million meters, Bruce called Barudo and Hebiyer, two big black men who were idle at home and were about to rust, to embark on the adventure road again.

This time they're targeting Texas!

The western part of the country is full of cowboys, and Houston is full of cow.

Houston is located on the Mexican plain in southeast Texas, just 80 kilometers from the Gulf of Mexico.

It has an area of 63o4 square miles and a population of about 430,000, and the downtown area of Houston is 617 square miles. Mainly white, black, and old ink. Among them, the population of Laomo has grown rapidly in recent years.

Of course, Houston is not yet on the scale of a hundred years from now. Houston is now just a small and unassuming city in southwest Texas.

Houston is surrounded by abundant natural resources, including oil and natural gas.

So much so that in later generations, with its rich oil resources, Houston City became the oil center of Texas and the energy center of the United States.

You can see how great the industrial potential of Houston is

The current Houston is due to historical reasons.

Even after the Civil War ended serfdom, the people of Texas still stubbornly focused on herding and farming.

Backward industry and commerce have made Houston's economic development very slow.

In Houston, there are still only large areas of pastures and wilderness in the surrounding area, and the scene is very different from other cities in the United States where industry and commerce are developed.

It's better in the city center, but once you're out in the wild, you'll see how bad urban planning is in Houghton in this era.

In addition, the people of Texas are very strong.

Cowboy culture is particularly prevalent here, and Texans are extremely xenophobic, which seems to be out of place in most states of the United States.

After a few hours on the train, Bruce and his group of four finally set foot on Houston soil.

As soon as they got out of the humble train station, Bruce and his group of four couldn't help but pinch their noses.

No way, the air is full of the smell of cow, which makes people a little dizzy.

This time, in addition to bringing Barudo and Hibieh, Bruce also brought He Wenbin out with him.

As for He Xiaohua......

As soon as spring began, he was arranged by Bruce to go to Los Angeles with little Alice to study.

"Boss, why are we here here?" asked Barudo, muttering.

Hibiye pinched his nose and echoed with a look of disgust: "It's unbelievable, this is actually the country of rice." "

Bruce glared at the two fools in disgust.

Good guys, it's only been a few good days, and this is starting to float?

Still can't believe this is the United States?

"Go, hire a carriage and a guide. Bruce frowned and instructed Barudo.

The smell of cow in Houston was too strong, and it was not the right time for them to come.

Just in time for Houston to warm up and the snow melts.

The mud on the road was mixed with cow that had been trampled into a ball of slime.

The smell makes people turn their heads up when you smell it.

Barudo picked and picked in disgust and jumped up and down.

Hebiyeh, who stayed behind, asked Bruce, "Boss, you said that we have what we want here, do you mean this cow all over the place?"

"Shut up, Hibiyeh. Stop playing with your boring sense of humor, and if you talk more, I'll kick Mbashi out of the farm and go home. Bruce glared at Hebiyer and scolded with an angry smile.

Bruce's words really pierced Hebier's soft underbelly, so frightened that he quickly shut his mouth, for fear that Bruce would really be angry, and then drive his daughter-in-law home.

Bruce is so kind and generous, and he never looks at their black boss with colored glasses, and the two brothers, Hibier and Barudo, don't want to lose.

And the fact that the two brothers can have such a rich life today is all brought to them by Bruce.

The duo's loyalty to Bruce is unquestionable, which leads the family to move to Bruce's farm to work for Bruce.

If Bruce really drove his daughter-in-law home, wouldn't it mean that Bruce no longer trusted their family?

The brain circuits of the black brothers are as simple and simple as that.

It didn't take much for Barudo to hire a clean-looking wagon and walk over with a lean man who looked like a thief.

Bruce asked the coachman to wait and patiently inquired about the town of Conroe.

Coincidentally, this lean white man named Billy was actually from the small town of Conroe.

And he is also a rancher who holds more than 2,000 acres of land.

It's just that due to poor management and gambling addiction, it didn't take a few years to lose the family property inherited from his father.

Now Billy spends his days in Houston doing nothing, idle, and doesn't even want to take care of his family's ranch.

Since you're a local, things are much easier.

Bruce asked Billy to show them the way, and went straight to the town of Conroe.

Of course, Bruce didn't treat the down-and-out rancher badly.

He paid Billy ten meters.

Just leading the way can get a ten-meter reward, and Billy is naturally happy.

Along the way, he was very enthusiastic about Bruce and his party.

Of course, Bruce also has his own plans for doing this.

Ever since he learned that Billy had a 2,000-acre ranch in his hands, he began to hit Billy with his mind.

Anyway, after this kid became addicted to gambling, the ranch had long been unmanaged.

It's a pity that he panics there, and Bruce plans to buy the ranch in Billy's hand.

After more than an hour of bumpy driving, the carriage finally drove into a remote town.

It is said to be a small town, but in fact, there are very few residents here.

In an open field, there are scattered cattle and sheep who are bowing their heads and grazing the grass that has just emerged in the clearing.

Occasionally, a few simple houses are scattered across the plains.

It is a hilly area with two sides facing mountains and one facing a lake.

To the east of it is a large natural lake, which was later named Lake Conroe.

In the future, the town of Conroe will develop into Houston, the capital of Montgomery County, and develop into a luxury villa resort, known as Houston's backyard.

However, Conroe is still a sparsely populated and dilapidated village.

Billy was introduced to his hometown to Bruce along the way, as Bruce seemed to be the kind of very wealthy upper-class guy at first glance.

At the same time that Bruce was fighting Billy's idea of ranching, Billy was actually beating Bruce's idea.

This shrewd gambler has sold almost all the possessions he can sell.

He had almost nothing left except for Conroe's more than 2,000 acres of land.

If it weren't for the fact that Kangluo's shabby place was too remote, no one would be willing to invest here, and the more than 2,000 acres of pasture would have been sold by him for money to gamble.

When Bruce says he's coming to Conroe, Billy is overjoyed.

A rich man with a temperament and luxurious clothes who runs to a remote town for no reason is certainly not for a vacation.

Since it's not a vacation, it's only for investment.

If that's the case, Billy feels like he's finally found a home for his 2,000 acres of ranch.

"Dear owner, welcome to the small town of Conroe. Billy said to Bruce with a smirk.
