However, when he pushed open the warehouse door and saw the mountain of precious furs piled up in front of him, the shock and surprise in his heart were extremely strong.

At the same time, Tom felt relieved. No wonder the boss told them to stop the land acquisition and focus on selling the furs. He thought the boss was making a fuss over nothing, but he didn't expect that the boss had quietly acquired so many precious furs. If all the furs in this warehouse were cleaned up, it would be an enormous fortune!

But where did these furs come from?

In the United States, such a huge quantity of fur could only have come from one source: Native Americans. Considering that Chen Mo disappeared for more than a month, it is very likely that Chen Mo acquired these furs from Native American through some channels.

Tom's analysis was correct, but he didn't realize that these furs were almost all stolen by Chen Mo from John Jacob Astor, the richest man in United States. Chen Mo not only stole his business, but also killed a lot of his armed forces.

Tom was unaware of all this. After the initial shock, he quickly recovered and began to do his job, bringing back the vast amount of furs Chen Mo had brought from the Missouri jungle and selling them all at the highest possible price.

This task posed no difficulty for this top-tier team comprised of elites from various industries.

However, the quantity of these furs is so enormous that it cannot be completed in a short period of time.

At that time, not only was there a strong demand for furs in Europe, but the United States was also very enthusiastic about these beautiful and luxurious furs. Therefore, after analyzing the prices and transportation costs of the two channels in Europe and America, Chen Mo's private business team decided to sell to both the Europe and domestic markets at the same time. In the following period, they quickly established two stable sales channels, which not only ensured high sales prices and profits, but also allowed funds to be recovered quickly.

As the team operated, the furs in the warehouse were gradually sold, generating a large amount of money.

The nearly 1,000 Cosmic Cube of precious fur was extremely valuable, several times more valuable than the gold Chen Mo brought with him when he came to this world. Although only a small portion had been sold, the proceeds were already a very large sum. Chen Mo's land grabbing plan was launched again, and this time his target was Brooklyn.

At that time, Brooklyn was still a farm owned by the Benson family, the owners of the Brooklyn Gas Company. In later years, this land was divided into small plots and sold off, and houses were built on the plots, forming the community that followed.

Today, this area, like the northern part of Manhattan that Chen Mo previously bought, is still just a neat expanse of farmland.

Benson was quite pleased to learn that China businessman who had recently bought properties in central and northern Manhattan was interested in his farm.

He had owned this huge farm for many years, but it didn't bring him much profit, far less than the profits of his Brooklyn Gas Company.

He recently had plans to increase investment and expand the gas company's business. He originally thought of using the farm as collateral for a bank loan, but the review process would take a lot of time, and the amount he could ultimately borrow wouldn't be much, since land wasn't worth much these days.

Now that this China businessman has taken a liking to his farm, Benson is happy to sell off this unwanted piece of land.

However, he originally planned to take advantage of Chen Mo, a wealthy China businessman, who was unfamiliar with market conditions, and rip him off. Unexpectedly, the acquisition team sent by the other party was extremely professional. They investigated the land value and income of his farm thoroughly, and even found out that he had contacted the bank to apply for a loan. Seeing that the other party had done their homework and was eager to cash out and expand his company, Benson gave up his other ideas and signed the contract with some reluctance. He sold Brooklyn, which covers an area of more than 250 square kilometers, to Chen Mo at a price slightly lower than the market price.

However, Benson was still very excited when the huge sum of money was in his pocket. With this money, he had the expansion funds for his gas company, even more than he had originally planned, and his expansion plan could be carried out on a larger scale.

This time, Brooklyn Gas Company will surely achieve a huge leap forward, and in the future, its gas company will become the largest gas company in the United States!

Overwhelmed with excitement, Benson's ambition grew even stronger, and he called out to Tom and the others who were about to leave.

"Etc!"

Tom and the others stopped in their tracks and turned to look at Benson was flushed with excitement.

"Mr. Benson, is there anything else?"

Tom, as the team leader, politely inquired.

"I also have a piece of land in Queens. Although it's not as big as this one, it's still over 100 square kilometers. If you want it, I can sell it to you."

Benson's eyes gleamed with golden light as he looked at Tom expectantly. Since he planned to develop the gas company, the remaining farm was no longer of any use. He might as well sell it off and give his gas company a boost in its rise and development!

Tom did not immediately agree, but instead responded politely.

"I need to go back and ask my boss."

Ultimately, this piece of land in Queens also fell into Chen Mo's hands, and at a price even lower than in Brooklyn.

After all, Benson was eager to sell this land, clearly in a hurry to get rid of it, so Tom didn't hesitate to push the price down even further.

Having already decided to withdraw from the farm and focus all his energy on his gas company, Benson didn't care about the price difference and signed the contract even more decisively than before.

After purchasing Brooklyn, located in southern Manhattan and across the river from downtown New York City, Chen Mo left the luxury hotel in downtown New York City and moved directly to the huge estate built by the Benson family on their Brooklyn Farm.

Having grown accustomed to living in a manor, Chen Mo also disliked the commercial atmosphere of downtown New York City.

Moreover, we are currently in the midst of the Industrial Revolution, with steam engines being widely used in industry. Coupled with the large-scale burning of coal by gas companies and other factories, the air quality in New York City is actually quite poor, far inferior to the clean air in Brooklyn, which is surrounded by the ocean in the south.

They acquired Brooklyn and also bought a piece of land in Queens. Meanwhile, furs from the Missouri region were being transported over, but instead of Victor and James, the transporters were Native American warriors from the Lakota tribe.
