Xia Ruofei stared at Daphra and asked, "He wasn't injured in an accident. He was beaten up by someone, right?"
Daphra didn't say anything, but from her expression, Xia Ruofei had already gotten the answer.
No wonder the atmosphere in Wonderland Farm was so tense. There were even armed security guards at the entrance.
Xia Ruofei asked anxiously, "Daphra, tell me first. Is Liang Qichao's life in danger?"
He didn't care about the business. Even if Immortal Farm was destroyed, Xia Ruofei wouldn't feel any heartache. However, Liang Qichao was his friend, and it was his suggestion that Liang Qichao came to work at Immortal Farm. If anything happened to him, he wouldn't be able to explain it to Liang Qichao's parents.
"His life isn't in danger!" Daphra hurriedly said, "But his injuries are quite serious. The doctor said that he might be disabled …"
Xia Ruofei breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Liang Qichao was still alive, it was fine. As for the doctor saying that he might be disabled, with the Spirit Heart Flower's petals, there were no external injuries that couldn't be treated.
In this kind of recent injury, unless it was an extreme case, it could be treated with the Spirit Heart Flower's petals.
Xia Ruofei nodded and asked calmly, "Then tell me, what happened? Why was Liang Qichao injured?"
"Someone has set their sights on Wonderland Farm." Daphra said, "This person has a lot of influence in Australia. Qi Chao wasn't willing to compromise. He said that this was a business that Mr. Tang and you gave him to manage. He couldn't give in at all. As a result, Wonderland Farm was constantly suppressed in Australia. At first, it was the agricultural and environmental departments that made things difficult. Later, other than Mr. Tang's chain stores, all other channels refused to accept Wonderland Farm's products. Qi Chao clenched his teeth and persevered. He didn't compromise. Just three days ago, Qi Chao was suddenly attacked on his way to Sydney. His car was wrecked and he was seriously injured. He had multiple fractures all over his body. The most serious injury was his leg. Although he had undergone three surgeries in the past few days, the doctor said that he still had to be mentally prepared. If the infection couldn't be controlled, he might need to amputate his leg … "
At this point, Daphra's eyes reddened.
She had also just rushed back from the hospital. Immortal Farm was in a precarious situation, and Liang Qichao was seriously injured and hospitalized. As the deputy manager of Immortal Farm, she had to come back to take charge of the situation.
Before Liang Qichao's incident, Wonderland Farm had already strengthened its security. Aside from some obvious means, the other party had been up to some tricks since a week or two ago. The farm was so big, and the borders were usually simple fences, so it wasn't difficult to sneak into the farm. There had been several cases of theft in the past few days, and someone had even shot the farm's horses in the distance. There was no follow-up after the police were called, so Liang Qichao specially hired a security team from Europe to install a large number of surveillance cameras around the farm. At the same time, he also strengthened the patrols.
Daphra was already physically and mentally exhausted. She also wanted to accompany Liang Qichao, but she had no choice but to return to the farm to deal with various troublesome matters.
After Xia Ruofei heard this, he couldn't help but frown slightly and ask, "Did you ask Mr. Tang Yitian for help?"
Tang Yitian's influence in Sydney and even in the whole of Australia was quite big, especially in the Chinese society. He was fully deserving of the title of a leading figure. In terms of assets, Tang Yitian was also considered one of the richest people in Australia. Moreover, the chain stores were all heavy asset enterprises, and at the same time, they had abundant cash flow. In terms of absolute wealth, Tang Yitian could be said to be one of the best in Australia.
Liang Qichao had Tang Yitian's contact information. In fact, Tang Yitian was very supportive of Immortal Farm. His chain stores gave Immortal Farm's products very good shelf space, and his commission was the lowest in the industry. The payment was also very timely, and there was basically no backlog.
Xia Ruofei also told Liang Qichao that if there were any problems that were difficult to deal with, he could ask Tang Yitian for help.
With his relationship with Tang Yitian, Tang Yitian would definitely treat Immortal Farm's matters as his own and would be very concerned about it.
Xia Ruofei had just met with Tang Yitian, and Tang Yitian didn't mention this matter at all. This meant that Immortal Farm didn't ask Tang Yitian for help, so Tang Yitian didn't know about it until now.
After listening to Xia Ruofei's words, Tang Haoran couldn't help but say, "Yeah! These people are so bad. Let my father punish them! "
Daphra shook her head and said, "I suggested it to Qi Chao, but he rejected it …"
"Why?" Xia Ruofei was very puzzled.
"Qi Chao said that the enemy this time was too troublesome, and he didn't want to cause trouble for Mr. Tang!" Daphra smiled bitterly. "He always thought that the enemy could at most use commercial and administrative means to suppress Immortal Farm. As long as he didn't compromise, he could grit his teeth and get through it! It turned out that he was too naive. The enemy's bottom line was much lower than he thought! "
"What about Mr. Tang He? He also has half of Immortal Farm's shares, and Qi Chao is his grandnephew. Qi Chao couldn't have not asked Mr. Tang for help when the farm was in trouble, right? "Xia Ruofei asked.
Mr. Tang was also a billionaire in the United States. Immortal Farm was originally bought by him in his own name to give his pure-blooded horses a better living environment. At the same time, because he liked Taoyuan vegetables and fruits, he pulled Xia Ruofei to become a shareholder and was even willing to let Xia Ruofei hold the majority.
Xia Ruofei often couldn't be contacted, but Liang Qichao and Tang He's communication channels should be relatively smooth. Logically speaking, when the farm was in trouble and Liang Qichao couldn't get out of the predicament, he should have asked Tang He for help first.
"Qi Chao called Old Mister Tang," said Daphra. "This time, Old Mister Tang also sent a top medical team to operate on Qi Chao. However, Mr. Tang's assets are mainly concentrated in the United States. Although his influence in Australia isn't small, the other party didn't buy it … "
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Who was this person? Liang Qichao was worried about causing trouble for Tang Yitian, so he didn't ask for help. Tang He was a billionaire with countless assets, but it was difficult for him to coordinate …
"Tell me! Who on earth is eyeing the Peach Blossom Farm? "Xia Ruofei asked indifferently.
Now, the fame and fortune of the secular world didn't mean much to Xia Ruofei. He wasn't interested in making money, but the other party's behavior had crossed the bottom line. This was something Xia Ruofei couldn't tolerate.
I don't care about this little bit of assets, but this can't be a reason for you to take it by force.
What's more, Liang Qichao was his friend. Now that the other party had directly threatened Liang Qichao's life, this had already crossed Xia Ruofei's bottom line.
Even if the cultivation world couldn't casually interfere with secular affairs, this situation was obviously not included. If you were provoked and didn't fight back, then what was the point of cultivation?
Defra hesitated for a moment and said, "It's Guerrero Galini."
Xia Ruofei shrugged and asked, "What's his background?"
"He's Steve Galini's younger brother," Defra said. "Steve Galini's public position is the chairman of the Australian Mining Council. Australia is rich in iron ore resources, and the members of the Mining Council almost control more than 80% of the mining business in Australia. The annual revenue reaches tens of billions of Australian dollars, and they have great influence in Australia. In addition to being the chairman of the Mining Council, it is said that Steve Galini is also involved in a large number of gray industries, including prostitution. He also has countless hired thugs, and is also an important figure in the underground world. And Guerrero Galini is Steve Galini's spokesperson in Australia's underground world. "
When Xia Ruofei heard this, his heart was naturally calm.
The power and status of the secular world were really insignificant in the eyes of cultivators.
However, he was still a little curious, so he asked, "Compared to Mr. Tang Yitian and the Galini brothers, is there a big difference in strength?"
Defra pondered for a moment and said, "There is no absolute conclusion, but Mr. Tang's influence is mainly in the Chinese society, the retail industry, and the entertainment industry. In the whole of Australia, the Galini brothers have more resources and wider connections. They have always been unscrupulous in doing things, especially Guerrero Galini. His methods are quite brutal. Qi Chao was also worried about implicating Mr. Tang, so he didn't ask him for help."
When Xia Ruofei heard this, he secretly nodded. Liang Qichao was still very responsible. He guessed that Liang Qichao might have contacted him, but he might have been in the Mystic Luna Realm at that time. After failing to contact him a few times, Liang Qichao probably gave up.
After all, in Liang Qichao's eyes, Xia Ruofei's strength was definitely not as good as Old Master Tang He's. If even Old Master Tang couldn't handle it, it would be useless to ask Xia Ruofei for help.
"Why were the Galini brothers suddenly so interested in the Fairyland Farm? What kind of conditions did they propose? "Xia Ruofei asked.
Defra frowned slightly and said, "We don't know the exact reason. Maybe they were jealous of the farm's profits, or maybe they were preparing to enter the farming industry, or maybe it was just a spur of the moment."
Speaking of this, Defra couldn't help but smile bitterly. Maybe they were just interested in the farm for a while, and later because the Fairyland Farm rejected them so thoroughly, they felt embarrassed and started to use some drastic methods. But this kind of big shot really couldn't be provoked! They could casually move their little finger, and it would be enough to make you suffer.
Defra continued, "Guerrero Galini didn't come personally, but sent a lawyer to talk to us. Their conditions … maybe they can't be called conditions. They basically want to take over the entire Fairyland Farm. They want to buy 51% of the farm's shares for two million US dollars. "
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but twitch his mouth and say, "What an ugly table manners!"
When Old Master Tang He bought the farm, he spent tens of millions of US dollars! At that time, the farm didn't have Xia Ruofei's "technical support," nor did it have the famous Taoyuan vegetables. Now, by planting vegetables and fruits on a large scale, the Fairyland Farm's monthly net profit reached a few million US dollars. Guerrero Galini actually wanted to use two million US dollars to directly control the farm. This was no different from taking it for free.
"Qi Chao rejected it on the spot!" Defra said, "He said that although he was only an employee of the farm and not a shareholder, he didn't need to report to the boss about such obviously unreasonable conditions, and the boss wouldn't agree."
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "That's right, he wouldn't agree."
Defra smiled bitterly and said, "I advised him to call you or Old Master Tang to ask for instructions. The Galini family is too powerful. They have already monopolized the mining industry in Australia. Their influence is so great that it can even affect the country's political situation. The previous Prime Minister was impeached before he finished his term because he had a bad relationship with the Galini family … "
In Australia, the Prime Minister was the de facto chief executive of the country. Nominally, Australia belonged to the Commonwealth. The Queen was nominally the supreme head of state of Australia, and the Governor General was the Queen's representative. However, the Queen and the Governor General were only nominally the head of state. The actual power of Australia was in the hands of the Prime Minister.
Even the Prime Minister could be ousted, which showed the strength of the Galini family.
Xia Ruofei stood up and said, "I have a general understanding of the situation. I will take care of the follow-up! Now, let's go to the hospital to see Qi Chao! "
"Okay, Mr. Xia, I will arrange a car for you," Defra said quickly.
Xia Ruofei nodded and asked, "You're not going to Sydney with me?"
"There is a lot of backlog of work on the farm. In addition, people have been anxious recently. Many workers have proposed to resign. The farm is seriously understaffed. I have to deal with it as soon as possible," Defra said. "Mr. Xia, I will find an employee who is familiar with the situation to accompany you to Sydney!"
"Okay then!" Xia Ruofei said. "You just try to maintain the normal operation of the farm here. Leave the rest to me. Remember, you must ensure your personal safety. If there is anything, wait for me to come back from Sydney! "
"Understood!" Defra said. "Mr. Xia, please sit for a while. I will arrange the car and personnel."
Xia Ruofei nodded with a smile. "Thank you for your hard work!"
In fact, if Xia Ruofei flew on his sword or took the Obsidian Airship to Sydney, it would naturally be the fastest. However, he was still in the Hunter's Valley. If he appeared in Sydney later, it would be difficult to explain.
After all, many people, including Defra, had seen Xia Ruofei in the Hunter's Valley.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei decided to take a car. It was okay if it was a little slower. At least Liang Qichao's life was not in danger yet.
Moreover, Xia Ruofei also wanted to see how arrogant the Galini family was. It would be best if someone attacked his car on the road. That would be a good show.
