[Gone with the Wind] Miss Margot

As incidents like this happened from time to time, Georgia's court system soon became involved.Of course, this is just the beginning, and speculators are all daring and careful guys. Judging from those documents alone, even professionals may not be able to find out what is wrong.For this reason, George Clark had to issue a public statement in newspapers across the state, saying that the Clark family had no redundant investment plans. George even publicly stated that apart from the three known plans, the Clark family did not have any more plans. There are no more investment plans and mutual aid plans in the action.The judge system responds very quickly.John Wilkes immediately stated that such a document must have more than two notaries present, and one of them must work in the state court, or be filed in the state court, otherwise the document is not legal.

It has to be said that this is a trump card that has saved unnecessary losses for many families. Of course, there are still many people who are deluded and feel that the court is superfluous.

These disturbances have little to do with the O'Hara sisters. In fact, these things are not as important as Suellen's double confinement. As for Marge, she is staring at the capital market, and countless reports are silently telling her that in the end How much money is coming into Atlanta, into Atlanta real estate.

Another fireside meeting took place.This time two more women joined, these two women are Melanie and Karin.Of course, compared to the previous time, working in the court has made Charles a lot more mature. He has become a man, not the big boy he used to be.Only Frank Kennedy was destined to be absent forever.

Charles was the first to speak: "Mrs. Clark, the value of real estate in Atlanta has risen too fast recently, and the speed makes me shudder. I always feel that something is wrong."

Margot replied, "What about your suggestion?"

Charles replied: "Many people are saying that this is because there are too few lands that can be traded on the market..."

"So hopefully I'll be able to sell some land?"

"Yes."

"Then do you know who are behind the current housing trade?"

Charles' eyes widened.In fact, the Hamilton family also has about [-] acres of land in the suburbs of Atlanta, but with the expansion of Atlanta, that area is almost becoming an urban area.Charles did think about selling those lands before to cool down the Atlanta property, but Scarlett refused.More importantly, Scarlett convinced Ashley and Melanie, even Ashley's father John Wilkes and Charles' uncle Henry Hamilton were on Scarlett's side, plus Henry It was the lawyer of the Hamilton family. If Henry did not nod, the sales contract would not have been notarized at all, and finally Charles had to stop the plan.

In fact, like Charles, there are not one or two people who intend to sell the land recently.

Karin quickly produced a document, and everyone began to circulate it.

At this time, Margot misses the past and those advanced office equipment.Even if there is only a copier, many files can be copied with one button, and then one copy per person is enough.Where does it need to be circulated like this, waiting for everyone to read it.

It took about an hour for the document to return to its original place.

Mag said: "Recently, in the housing sales in Atlanta, most of the houses were traded for six or seven hands. In fact, we all know that the final buyer of a house can only be a home, and in the end A family might live in it. So the question is, why are these houses being traded so many times?"

Charles froze.

Ashley said: "The purpose of false trade is to raise housing prices and create a scene of prosperity in the market."

"So, here comes the question, who will be the winner?"

Gerald said: "The higher the house price, the higher the tax we need to pay. If we can't pay the tax, we will be kicked out of the house!"

This is where Gerald is most angry.

Once, he was also ashamed of his two daughters, Marge and Suellen, who bought a large amount of Northern Federal Government bonds, thinking that these two daughters had betrayed the South, and he even decided to sacrifice himself to bear this crime, but within a year Time, his daughters act like he's proving them right.

Gerald had heard that in some places in Georgia, decent families were expelled from their estates because they could not pay their taxes. He was kicked out of his house and ended up on the streets.

If it weren't for Marge and Suellen, if it weren't for the Southern Families Postwar Foundation and the Southern Plantation Families Postwar Program, I'm afraid many more people in the South would have lost their homes, lost their homes.

Margot replied, "Taxes are just one aspect. After all, if house prices are really that high, everyone will find something wrong. So Dad, house prices can't skyrocket so much that we start worrying about whether we can afford our property taxes." .”

Gerald had a flash of inspiration: "They are tempting everyone to sell their houses and land!"

"It's almost like this." Margo nodded. "After all, the population of Atlanta is increasing. These people all need houses. The greater the demand for houses, the real estate prices will rise. These are inevitable. And once the house prices go up , it will be difficult to get down."

Gerald said, "Is there nothing you can do?"

"As long as Atlanta is still a holy place in the eyes of black people, as long as the population of Atlanta continues to increase, this trend cannot be changed, even for me. What I can do is to try to keep the price increase within the acceptable range of Atlanta citizens. In fact, rather than selling the real estate in my hand, I would rather advise the citizens of Atlanta to lease out the vacant land. Of course, it is best to agree on the use and plan in advance. I don’t want the chemical industry to be Build on the river, and end up polluting the drinking water of the citizens of Atlanta, or affecting the irrigation of the entire state."

Margot never thought that there would be no contradictions in Atlanta. In fact, there were some things that she could not do anything about. As a white person, she had to stand on the standpoint of white people. As a southern white person, she had to stand on the standpoint of the South.

In fact, Margot can completely ignore the development of Atlanta's real estate industry. According to the tradition of the South, it is okay for her to ignore it at all, because this is the requirement of women in this era.

As Shuyuan in the south, as the wife of an upper-class family in the south, it is enough for Marge to be kind, generous, and kind to others, and she does not need to be involved in the financial and real estate industries at all.

In fact, if she walks into these two industries, it will be eye-catching.

But this era is different from the other world Margot is familiar with. As the most influential wife in the United States, if she wants to protect her own interests, Margot must not be lenient, cannot give up her own interests, let alone give up on Atlanta. degree of control.

The land was generous, as Gerald had always taught her, and as an Irishman they could never betray the land.

Every time someone questioned her, Marge would carry out her father's teachings. She would never sell the land in her hand. She could rent it out or exchange it for land, only selling it was not allowed.Of course, Margot did not forget to buy some land from time to time.

In this regard, George is very supportive of his wife, the problem is Rhett.

Rhett knows very well that it is really too simple to hide money in finance, or hide bonds or something, but they can't hide all the land.

This is the point of conflict between Rhett and Margot.

Rhett had to remind Margot: "Mrs. Clark, in my opinion, if this continues, the tax you have to pay for these lands every year will be an astronomical figure."

Margot said: "Mr. Butler, I understand your kindness. Indeed, the amount of tax money is too large, and there will be problems in mobilizing it. Indeed, if combined with other means, it can indeed break my capital chain, so as to achieve The purpose of bankrupting me. Of course, in view of the large number of industries in my hands and the large number of black employees, as long as there is news that my capital chain is broken, the whole of Atlanta can be disturbed. But the problem is, who said that my funds Will the chain break so easily? Rhett, don't forget, I have more materials in my hand."

Currency has the function of circulation, but what is really valuable is material.

War has taught people many things, and the really important things are never in books, but people's personal experience.Southerners insisted on their beliefs. As a result, with the collapse of the Confederate government, a lot of wealth in the South evaporated, and only a few people who had mastered the supplies still enjoyed the glory and wealth after the war.

Materials may be reduced in price, but materials will never become worthless like paper and pen.

In the end, Marg just reminded everyone present: "Real estate and real estate are always linked to population. When the war just ended, the South had just lost a large number of people. Due to the low population, the South at this time The land price in Atlanta is the lowest. As the post-war economy recovers and the population slowly increases again, the real estate industry will also develop accordingly. In other words, the climb of real estate and real estate is a trend. As long as the population of Atlanta Home prices in Atlanta will always be higher than they were right after the war. People who sell houses and land now will regret it.”

Margot had no intention of hiding today's meeting, and in fact, about a day later, all the old southern families had heard of Margot's final conclusion.

Whether to sell the real estate and land, let yourself have a lot of money, or sit back and reap the benefits brought by the appreciation of the land. For those who have experienced currency depreciation, this is an answer that does not need to be answered at all.

The Atlanta real estate business suddenly came to a screeching halt.Many real estate properties that were originally intended to be sold are not sold. Even if real estate changes hands, it is also a land-for-land exchange, not a money transaction.

Of course, this does not mean that the real estate industry has not developed.On the contrary, the principle of renting and not selling has made the trend of Atlanta real estate even more strange.

Owners of real estate and real estate have absolute power over their land. Don’t say that if you build a house on the land, you are turning the land into a garbage dump. As long as the neighbors don’t complain, there is still no problem at all.But in the same way, if your land or house is rented, you have to say hello to the landlord even if you want to repair the fence.

For those speculators, this is basically bad news, but for real investors, there is no doubt that it is good news.

First of all, because the land itself is only rented and not sold, the cost of the land itself has actually been reduced. Originally, the sum of the rent of almost 20 years had to be paid at one time, but now only two to three years of rent can basically make the land The right to use is transferred.On the other hand, no one loves his home more than the owners of land and houses.If the investment plan is not to the mind of these people, it is impossible for these people to nod to change the use of the land, or to have the original property knocked down.

This is tantamount to allowing the citizens of Atlanta to participate in the development of Atlanta in a disguised form, allowing them to enjoy the fun of building their homes.

Moreover, the cost of the land itself has been reduced, and naturally the rich funds in other places have increased.This has led to the emergence of many boutique communities and boutique buildings in Atlanta.

Well, at Melania's birthday party, Margot had to admit that Atlanta's real estate industry is still booming, and according to this trend, at least in the next ten years, Atlanta's housing prices will definitely not fall.

In fact, Margot really wanted to talk about the next 20 years. However, considering that the population base of the United States could not be compared with that of her homeland in her previous life, Margot still used a more conservative figure.

Just because Margot has let go in real estate doesn't mean she won't be successful elsewhere.In fact, in addition to the new house of the Clark family, the school that Margot has been thinking about has been put into use.Taking into account the current situation in the United States, the current five-year education system is adopted to teach children simple writing, calculation, and some basic legal knowledge in Georgia.Those who come out of this kind of basic school can basically only work in factories or farms.But in fact, children who come out of this kind of school can only be regarded as child laborers 100 years later.

In addition to the five-year basic education, there are various vocational schools. If you want to become a lawyer or an accountant, you must go through at least two years of study and pass the examination before you can get a practicing license.

That's right, a business license.

In fact, there are already such voices in many places that many industries will never hire blacks when they can hire whites.

It's also fortunate that Margot took out the practice license at this time.Otherwise, this kind of racism-related stuff would definitely make waves in Atlanta.

The author has something to say: Jinjiang smoked so hard, but fortunately he switched to WPS halfway, otherwise it would be over again.
