Chapter 646 Another Future CEO
The northwest corner of New York State is located in the center of the Niagara River channel between Lake Ontario and Lake Erie.
Yang Jing flew from Buffalo to the river island in a helicopter accompanied by the real estate agent.
Grand Island is the fourth largest island in New York State, located in the center of the Niagara River, surrounded by the Niagara River on all sides. Strawberry Island, the southernmost tip of Grand Island, divides the Niagara River into two rivers, embracing Grand Island like two arms.
The island is not very large, only 33.3 square kilometers, belonging to Erie County, and is across the West Niagara River from Canada.
Grand Island is only seven kilometers away from the famous Niagara Falls. When the weather is sunny, you can even vaguely see the rising water mist above Niagara Falls.
If you start from Grand Island by yacht and go upstream, you can enjoy all four other lakes except Lake Ontario at one time.
At first, Yang Jing didn't know that there was such a small island next to Niagara Falls. He also accidentally discovered a real estate brochure, and then he realized that there was such a small island in the middle of the Niagara River that could be called a paradise.
Yang Jing knew that Princess liked the natural scenery very much. Princess loved Niagara Falls very much. She had been here twice, but still felt that she was still unsatisfied.
Since this is the case, it would be better to buy a property next to the waterfall. You can also take the princess here for vacation in the future. After enjoying the waterfall, you can also raft the four major lakes.
Although it is impossible to directly reach Lake Ontario through the Niagara River, there is a waterway connected to Rochester, more than 100 kilometers east of Grand Island, starting from the Niagara River and finally connected to the Genesey River that flows into Lake Ontario.
In other words, although you cannot enter Lake Ontario through Niagara Falls, you can finally reach the central part of Lake Ontario through this waterway. If you still want to continue moving forward, you can enter the St. Lawrence River from the east end of Lake Ontario and directly reach the Atlantic Ocean...
In other words, theoretically speaking, as long as Yang Jing and Princess are willing, they can start from Grand Island, take their own yachts and travel around the Great Lakes, then travel around the world, and finally return to Grand Island.
This is obviously a pretty good place, and the island is not very crowded, mainly animal husbandry, and it has a paradise.
If the New York State State Government hadn't sold this island, Yang Jing really wanted to buy the island directly.
However, although the island is not sold as a whole, the ranches, farms and real estate on the island can be sold as a gift. Therefore, Yang Jing contacted the real estate agent based on the contact number marked on the brochure.
"Mr. Smith, this is Alfred Manor, which includes a main building with a construction area of 13,000 square feet and four auxiliary buildings, with a construction area of 29,000 square feet. In addition, the total area of the manor is 35 acres. Outside the manor is accompanied by a 150-acre farm and a 120-acre vineyard." Seeing Yang Jing staring at the farm below for a long time, the real estate agent explained the situation of the manor next to him in due time.
Yang Jing turned his head and asked, "Is Alfred? Is Irene DuPont's son or his great-grandson Alfred Irene DuPont?"
"Sir, it is Alfred Irene DuPont, the great-grandson of Irene DuPont, among the three brothers of DuPont ZTE." The real estate agent replied respectfully.
Before coming, when he met with the real estate agent, the real estate agent not only promoted the property of their real estate company, but also sold Yang Jing an estate for sale.
This manor is Alfred Manor, which is the property of the DuPont family. It was built in 1918 in the last century. Because there were two Alfreds in the history of the DuPont family, Yang Jing asked this question. However, the question Yang Jing asked was a little wrong. Although there were two Alfreds in the history of the DuPont family, there was a few decades apart. Old Alfred died as early as the 19th century, but this manor was built in 1918. It was obviously built by Alfred Little.
However, Yang Jing asked this, but the real estate agent did not dare to say anything else, because after meeting Yang Jing and when Yang Jing revealed his interest in Alfred Manor, the real estate agent immediately contacted the DuPont family and said that someone was interested in purchasing the Alfred Manor on Grand Island.
The DuPont family immediately checked Cole Smith, but it didn't matter if this investigation was made. Only then did they find out that Cole Smith was the boss behind the ky investment fund, which was recently popular.
It just so happens that the two companies controlled by the DuPont family, ky investment funds, are both major shareholders, one is Dow Chemical and the other is General Motors jointly controlled by the Morgan family.
So, the man from the DuPont family immediately told the real estate agent to greet Mr. Cole Smith.
Seeing that his big customers value Cole Smith so much, the shrewd real estate agent immediately realized that the middle-aged man in front of him was absolutely extraordinary.
Alfred Manor is located in the northwest corner of Grand Island, so you can see the island called "Naval Island" in the center of the Niagara River through a river more than 500 meters wide. Yang Jing asked the real estate agent: "Will that island be sold?"
The real estate agent shook his head with a bitter face and said, "Sir, although I really want to sell that small island to you, even the Grand Island under our feet is sold to you together, but this is really not something I can say. The damn New York State government does not allow the islands of the river and lake to be sold to private."
Yang Jing was also amused by the words of the real estate agent. He asked with a smile: "Sorry, we have known each other for so long, and I don't know your name yet."
"Sir Donald James Tom Niz, this is my name, you can call me Donald." Although the real estate agent had already reported his name to Yang Jing when he met in the morning, it was obvious that Yang Jing did not remember it, but Mr. Tom Niz obviously did not dare to complain and still honestly reported his name again.
When Yang Jing met this guy in the morning, he was thinking about something, so he didn't remember the name of the guy. Now it's okay, so he couldn't help but be happy again when he heard the name, because this slightly special surname immediately reminded him of a person. Yang Jing really never expected that he was just buying a manor and actually met the CEO of Holden, the largest real estate company in the United States, in the future.
However, this famous real estate developer in later generations was still an unknown real estate agent at this time.
Since he met, Yang Jing naturally would not let this kind of talent go. Yang Jing remembers that Tom Niz only joined Holden Company in the new century. Before he joined Holden Company, he could let this guy manage the properties he was about to buy for himself!
