It was said to be a negotiation, but in fact, it was almost Robinson begging Xia Ruofei to acquire it. Basically, he agreed to Xia Ruofei's conditions without hesitation.
However, Xia Ruofei was not an unforgiving person. Although Brody coveted Lin Qiao's beauty and repeatedly spoke rudely and fanned the flames at the reception party that day, Xia Ruofei thought that the punishment was enough to make them unable to operate the winery. In the end, they could only sell it at a low price.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei did not put forward too harsh conditions.
When he decided to take over during the tour around Australia, Xia Ruofei asked Liang Qichao to commission a professional to evaluate the assets of the Golden Oak Winery. He knew that after offsetting some bank debts, the value of the Golden Oak Winery's assets was roughly 12 million to 14 million Australian dollars.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei did not unkindly lower the price for the 6 million Australian dollars proposed by Robinson.
This made Robinson grateful. He felt that Xia Ruofei was simply too magnanimous. He really did not care about the past!
However, Xia Ruofei would not take the initiative to help Robinson. Therefore, since Robinson proposed it himself, he did not hesitate to say that the 6 million Australian dollars would be paid in installments.
It would be paid off within a year, with a monthly payment of 500,000 Australian dollars.
Robinson now wanted to get rid of this hot potato, especially the debt with the bank, so he did not hesitate to accept this condition.
As for the bank, if Xia Ruofei took over, Tang Yitian would come forward to greet him. Naturally, it would not be so urgent. Moreover, after the channel was restored, there would be cash flow in immediately. If the financial situation was healthy, it would be fine to repay the loan step by step.
If Robinson operated it himself, it would be a hopeless situation.
After the problem of money was settled, the other details were naturally simpler. Basically, whatever Xia Ruofei asked for, Robinson agreed without hesitation.
Both parties quickly reached an agreement and signed the acquisition contract.
When Xia Ruofei bought the West Winery, he borrowed three million Australian dollars from Tang He in the United States. In addition to the two million Australian dollars purchase price, there were also some handling fees, taxes, and other expenses. Xia Ruofei still had about eight hundred thousand Australian dollars left.
Therefore, after signing the contract, Xia Ruofei immediately transferred 500,000 Australian dollars for the first month to Robinson as agreed.
Seeing Xia Ruofei pay so quickly, Robinson was naturally grateful. He thought that Xia Ruofei would delay the first payment for at least a month. He didn't expect Xia Ruofei to pay immediately after signing the contract. In his opinion, Xia Ruofei was too kind!
If the remaining 300,000 Australian dollars were not enough to cover the processing fees and other expenses, he could temporarily divert some from Paradise Farm's account.
As for the wages of Old West and the other staff, as well as the winery's operating costs, Xia Ruofei didn't need to worry about it. With the support of a large channel like the Maya Group, the two wineries would soon be profitable.
When Old West received Xia Ruofei's notice to take over the Golden Oak Winery, he felt like he was dreaming.
Ten days ago, his capital chain was broken, and Robinson wanted to take advantage of the situation to buy the West Winery at a low price.
How long had it been? Robinson was already forced to sell the winery at a low price.
The two's situations were completely reversed.
He naturally didn't have any sympathy for his former love rival, West, who had never given up on suppressing him for decades.
When Old West heard Xia Ruofei say that the Golden Oak Winery was also under his management, he was overjoyed. He immediately brought people to take over the winery, as if he was ten years younger.
In this way, the two wineries were placed under Xia Ruofei's name. The work of "improving grapes" in his space was also in progress. When the grape planting season came, he would make a trip to Australia and plant the grapes in the space. With the help of the Maya Group, the two wineries would definitely be able to flourish.
The trivial matters of the wineries would naturally be taken care of by the Old West couple, so Xia Ruofei didn't need to worry.
He and Lin Qiao stayed at Paradise Farm for two days, and the return trip was also on the agenda.
…
Sydney.
Kingsford Smith International Airport.
If there were people from the New South Wales underworld here, they would definitely be shocked. This was because the famous Tiger of the Volunteer Society, Tang Hu, was personally dragging two large suitcases behind a group of people.
Walking in front was naturally Xia Ruofei and Lin Qiao, as well as Liang Qichao and Tang Yitian's family.
Xia Ruofei still only had simple luggage, while Lin Qiao's luggage went from one large suitcase to two large suitcases. The new suitcase wasn't inferior to the one she brought.
During the trip to Australia, Lin Qiao bought a lot of souvenirs, and Jennifer also gave Lin Qiao a lot of gifts. In the end, they could only buy another large suitcase, which was also filled to the brim.
The return flight was booked with Tang Yitian's help, so naturally it was also first class.
Originally, Tang Yitian wanted to use a private jet to send Xia Ruofei and Lin Qiao back to Huaxia, but Xia Ruofei politely declined.
He really didn't like to be too ostentatious. Moreover, using a private jet for two people was indeed too wasteful.
Under Xia Ruofei's insistence, Tang Yitian had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, and booked two first-class tickets.
After checking in at the VIP counter, Xia Ruofei and Lin Qiao stood at the security entrance and said goodbye to Liang Qichao and Tang Yitian's family.
Xia Ruofei specially called Tang Haoran over and said, "Haoran, when Master isn't by your side, you must be more careful when you cultivate. At the same time, you must persevere every day and not slack off!"
"I know, Master!" Tang Haoran looked at Xia Ruofei a little reluctantly and said dejectedly.
The little guy was originally quite close to Xia Ruofei. Ever since he became Xia Ruofei's disciple, this closeness was mixed with a bit of worship and reverence. Xia Ruofei was going to return to China, and the person who was most reluctant to let him go was Tang Haoran.
Xia Ruofei touched Tang Haoran's head and said with a smile, "Don't look so sad … Master will come to Australia again in a while."
"Really?" Tang Haoran suddenly raised his head and asked.
"When have I ever lied to you?" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "There are still some things to do at the winery here. At most, in two months, I will come again! At that time, I will check your cultivation progress! If you are lazy … "
"Master, I promise I won't be lazy!" Tang Haoran said quickly.
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "Then, Master will depend on your actions!"
Then, Xia Ruofei looked at Tang Yitian and said, "Brother Tang, if Haoran has any problems with his cultivation, call me at any time. If the situation is urgent, you can directly send him to Huaxia with a private jet!"
"Okay!" Tang Yitian said, "Thank you, Ruofei!"
Xia Ruofei waved his hand and said with a smile, "You don't have to be so polite with us. By the way, please take care of the Fairyland Farm and my two wineries. "
"Of course, you can rest assured!" Tang Yitian said with a smile.
Xia Ruofei nodded and finally looked at Liang Qichao and said, "Brother Liang, I'll leave it to you to take care of the farm. This batch of experimental planting is almost finished. You need to come up with a demand plan as soon as possible. After I return to China, I will prepare the seeds needed for large-scale planting! "
"Understood!" Liang Qichao grinned and said, "You don't have to worry about things here!"
With a strong ally like the Mei Ya Group, Liang Qichao was now full of confidence in running the farm well. Thinking that he could make some achievements in Australia and enter the eyes of Tang He, Liang Qichao was also grateful to Xia Ruofei from the bottom of his heart.
While Xia Ruofei was talking to Tang Yitian and the others, Lin Qiao was also talking to Jennifer.
She also had a reluctant expression on her face — after all, Jennifer was her idol for many years! And after this period of time together, her friendship with Jennifer had also quickly warmed up. Now, they were like best friends.
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Qiao 'er, it's time to go!"
"Oh …" Lin Qiao said reluctantly. Then, she seized the time to say a few words to Jennifer, and then walked toward Xia Ruofei.
The large suitcase had been checked in. Xia Ruofei took his simple luggage and waved goodbye to everyone with Lin Qiao. Then, they walked through the international security checkpoint.
…
More than nine hours later, the Boeing 787 jumbo of Heron Island Airlines was close to its destination after a long flight — Changping International Airport in Sanshan City.
Compared to the excitement of going to Australia, Lin Qiao seemed a little depressed on the return trip. Most of the time, she was silent. She was either using the multimedia video and audio equipment in the first-class cabin to watch movies, or closing her eyes to rest. She rarely spoke to Xia Ruofei.
The experience of these twenty days was like a dream to Lin Qiao, a very dreamy and beautiful dream.
In this dream, she met the female star she admired the most, Jennifer, and even became her best friend. This was something that she didn't even dare to dream about before.
Of course, the most important thing was that in these twenty days, Xia Ruofei belonged to her alone. The two of them traveled all over Australia. Whether it was the beautiful and enchanting Great Barrier Reef, the gloomy Port Arthur Prison, or the exotic Nanberg National Park, they left their footprints and laughter in every place.
However, one had to wake up from the dream.
As the plane approached Sanshan City, Lin Qiao felt like she was losing Xia Ruofei bit by bit.
After the plane landed, Xia Ruofei would become Ling Qingxue's boyfriend again, and she could only be a naughty and even unruly sister.
Lin Qiao knew very well that although Xia Ruofei spoiled her to the extreme, it was completely the love of a brother for a sister. She had never walked into the depths of Xia Ruofei's heart.
Xia Ruofei also noticed Lin Qiao's silence, but he just thought that Lin Qiao was a little depressed because the trip ended and she left her idol, Jennifer, at the same time, so he didn't take it to heart.
No matter how reluctant Lin Qiao was, the plane finally landed smoothly on the runway of Changping International Airport.
After a short wait, the cabin door opened.
Xia Ruofei took his small suitcase from the luggage compartment and said with a smile, "Qiao Er, why are you in a daze? It's time to get off the plane! "
Lin Qiao seemed to wake up from a dream. Her eyes flashed with a touch of disappointment. She stood up and said, "Oh … Then let's go!"
Xia Ruofei smiled and asked, "What's wrong? You don't look very happy! In a few days, you'll be going to university on Heron Island. A new, rich life is waving at you! Why do you look so sad? "
The admission of the first batch of undergraduates was very fast. While they were still traveling in Australia, the admission notice had already been sent to Taoyuan Farm. Of course, this was what Xia Ruofei and Lin Qiao found out when they had a video call with Huzi's mother.
Before going abroad, Xia Ruofei taught Huzi's mother how to use WeChat for video calls. This was also what Huzi's mother had requested. Because international long-distance calls were too expensive, she always maintained a frugal habit.
It was fine if Xia Ruofei didn't mention going to university on Heron Island, but when he did, Lin Qiao felt even more depressed.
She would soon be leaving Sanshan. Although Heron Island was very close to Sanshan, and the intercity transportation time had been shortened to less than two hours after the high-speed rail was connected, they didn't live in the same city after all. Moreover, Xia Ruofei already had an excellent girlfriend, Ling Qingxue.
In Lin Qiao's opinion, her hope was extremely slim.
She squeezed out a smile and said, "It's okay. Maybe I'm a little tired from the long flight! Let's go, Brother Ruofei! "
After saying that, Lin Qiao naturally held Xia Ruofei's arm.
Xia Ruofei was already used to Lin Qiao's intimate actions, so he didn't feel uncomfortable. The two of them walked out of the cabin together intimately.
The plane landed at around 19: 00 Huaxia Standard Time. When Xia Ruofei and Lin Qiao walked out with their checked luggage, it was already 7: 30 p.m.
Lei Hu was still the one who picked them up. He had been waiting at the international departure hall for a long time. When he saw Xia Ruofei and Lin Qiao, he immediately greeted them and took the luggage from Xia Ruofei's hands.
"Brother Xia, it must have been hard on you!" Lei Hu said with a smile as he led the two of them forward.
"It's okay. Qiao 'er is a little tired!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile. He then asked, "Is there anything urgent in the company?"
Xia Ruofei was just asking casually. Now that the company was under the management of Feng Jing and the others, it was already on the right track. Under normal circumstances, there wouldn't be anything urgent. Moreover, if there really was an emergency, Feng Jing would have already called overseas to report to him.
Lei Hu said with a smile, "Everything is normal! Oh right, Class Monitor Ye has already returned to the farm. "
Xia Ruofei was stunned for a moment. He asked with a smile, "That kid finished his apprenticeship? Could it be that he didn't perform well and was chased back by Elder Li Zhifu? "
Ye Linyun had been learning the ancient tea making method from Elder Li Zhifu in Wuyi Mountain for half a year. Xia Ruofei didn't expect him to return so soon.
Speaking of which, Ye Linyun was the person in charge of security. However, because he had been absent for a long time, Lei Hu was temporarily in charge.
Lei Hu laughed and said, "I'm not too sure about that. Anyway, Class Monitor Ye said that he finished his apprenticeship and that his master asked him to come back!"
"This kid …" Xia Ruofei laughed and scolded, "I'll have to interrogate him later!"
Just as the group walked out of the international departure hall and was about to head to the parking lot, Xia Ruofei's phone suddenly rang.
