The call was from Elder Tang He. After contacting him yesterday, Elder Tang saved Xia Ruofei's phone number.
"Good morning, Elder Tang!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
"Brother Xia, do you have time this morning?" Elder Tang asked. "Let's find a place to finalize some of the details of the cooperation!"
"No problem!" Xia Ruofei said. "Which hotel are you staying at? I'll come over to find you now! "
"The Shangri-La Hotel in the city. Call me when you arrive!" Elder Tang said.
"Okay!"
Xia Ruofei hung up the phone and did not go to patrol. Cao Tieshu was very responsible anyway. The greenhouse was in good order, and he did not have to worry about the construction site. Liang Weimin was very grateful to Xia Ruofei. Yesterday, he personally called Manager Li and told him to use the most serious attitude to create a high-quality project.
Therefore, Manager Li worked hard and stayed at the construction site all day. He did not even work so hard when building a house for his own family.
More than half an hour later, Xia Ruofei drove the Knight XV off-road vehicle to the Shangri-La Hotel.
In the reception area of the presidential suite, Xia Ruofei and Elder Tang discussed the details of the cooperation of the Australian farm.
Elder Tang's assistant was in charge of taking notes.
Because both sides had reached a consensus, there were almost no objections to some of the details. Very quickly, the cooperation was finalized.
Both sides agreed that Elder Tang He's Paddington Farm in the Hunter Valley of New South Wales, Australia would be worth 40 million USD. Xia Ruofei would invest 20.4 million USD to own 51% of the shares.
10 million USD would be cash investment, 5 million USD would be technology investment, and the remaining 5.4 million USD would be deducted from the farm's dividends.
Originally, Xia Ruofei had planned to give up the 5 million USD technology investment, but Elder Tang was very insistent.
After Xia Ruofei repeatedly refused, Elder Tang finally told him his reason.
It turned out that after the gold-threaded cedar was transported to the warehouse that Liang Weimin temporarily rented near the Changping Pier, Grandfather Tang had Liang Weimin find an experienced carpenter to remove the bark and sapwood of the cedar, revealing the true appearance of the piece of cedar.
The result made Grandfather Tang extremely happy. In addition to the cloud pattern that was revealed when he opened the window that day, there was also an even more precious wavy pattern on the material. Although it wasn't as rare as the highest quality wavy pattern, it still greatly increased the value of the material.
Furthermore, this was only the exterior part. If it was made into a plate, the internal patterns might be even more surprising.
One had to know that Old Man Tang was buying this material to make his own longevity material. The more precious and rare this material was, the happier he would be.
Especially this kind of rare material, which couldn't be bought with money.
Therefore, Elder Tang also felt that it was a great bargain to buy it for ten million USD. Therefore, he decided to compensate Xia Ruofei for the farm cooperation.
Since Elder Tang had already put it this way, Xia Ruofei naturally couldn't refuse, so he agreed.
In addition, the two sides also agreed to arrange for Xia Ruofei to go to Australia to inspect the farm in the near future. Then, the first batch of Taoyuan vegetable seeds would be supplied, and later, the business would gradually expand to other agricultural products.
Xia Ruofei had invested in Paddington Farm in the name of the Taoyuan Company. In other words, the two major shareholders of Paddington Farm were the Taoyuan Company and Elder Tang He.
Therefore, in a sense, Paddington Farm would become a subordinate farm of the Taoyuan Company, because the Taoyuan Company was the major shareholder!
The two also agreed to change the name of Taoyuan Farm, but Westerners definitely wouldn't understand the origin of the word "Taoyuan", so the two discussed changing the name of Paddington Farm to "Wonderland Farm", which had a similar meaning to Taoyuan Farm. At the same time, they would register the "Wonderland" brand. In the future, the agricultural products sold in the West by the Taoyuan Company would be branded with this brand new name.
Soon, the two of them finalized some of the details.
Elder Tang's assistant quickly added the details discussed by the two of them into the contract and directly printed it out.
It included Elder Tang's ownership of the horse racing on the farm and the right to decide the operation of the thoroughbred breeding base. The Taoyuan Company had to ensure that Wonderland Farm could cultivate vegetables of the same quality as the Taoyuan vegetables sold in China, and so on. All of these were written into the contract.
The two of them read it carefully and felt that there were no problems, so they signed it directly.
Elder Tang bought the farm in his own name, so he only needed his signature and seal. Xia Ruofei also came prepared. The company's seal was on him, so the two of them signed a formal contract directly.
After signing the contract, Xia Ruofei returned the 10 million USD check to Elder Tang.
Elder Tang took the check and looked at it, then tore it up directly. The check was not cashed. In fact, the money was still in Elder Tang's account, so he only needed to tear up the check.
"Happy cooperation!" Elder Tang happily extended his hand towards Xia Ruofei. "In the future, when I go to Australia for a holiday, I'll be able to eat those delicious Taoyuan vegetables whenever I want. Oh, that's not right. We should call them Paradise Vegetables!"
In fact, in Elder Tang's eyes, the biggest meaning of the cooperation between the two of them was this. As for how much money the farm could earn, he really didn't care.
Xia Ruofei also laughed and said, "After all the vegetables are planted on the farm in Australia, you can always send a plane to transport them over if you want to eat them! Anyway, you don't lack money … "
Elder Tang raised his head and laughed.
The assistant poured a glass of red wine for the two of them. After the two of them gently clinked glasses, Xia Ruofei took a small sip and then asked, "Elder Tang, are you ready to go back to the United States?"
Elder Tang nodded and said, "Yes! I was going to leave this afternoon, but in order to finalize the cooperation with Brother Xia, I postponed it for another day. "
The asset evaluation of the farm in Australia and some related documents needed time, so Elder Tang could only postpone his trip.
Xia Ruofei smiled and asked, "By the way, Elder Tang, who have you decided to bring back to the United States with you?"
"It's basically settled. The two children, Xiaojun and Xiaochao, will go back with me." Elder Tang smiled and said, "I will train them well. First, I will let them experience the basic positions in the company, and then … let's see their performance!"
Xia Ruofei was a little surprised. He knew that Liang Qichao was not very willing to go to the United States, and he didn't know how Liang Weimin convinced him.
As for Liang Xiaojun, Xia Ruofei knew that he should have the ability. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to be admitted to a famous school and get an MBA in the United States. However, Xia Ruofei didn't have a good impression of this person. He felt that his character was ordinary.
Elder Tang probably wanted to create a competitive atmosphere, so he brought both of them back to the United States.
However, this was Elder Tang's private matter. Xia Ruofei was just casually asking, so naturally, he wouldn't say much.
However, Xia Ruofei was very curious about why Liang Qichao suddenly changed his attitude and agreed to go to the United States.
