Xia Ruofei didn't need to worry about the abalones in the Ring-Tu space at all. In such a good natural sea environment and rich aura, they would definitely continue to reproduce and grow in the future. At that time, the Shengbang Group would be authorized to sell the abalones in the United States.
Anyway, as long as it wasn't an investment, Xia Ruofei was still very welcome to normal cooperation.
What's more, the Shengbang Group had a great influence in the United States, and its sales channels were very complete. If the Taoyuan Company wanted to expand the United States market, the Shengbang Group was a very suitable partner.
Tang He was overjoyed and said, "Deal! Ruofei, I will pay attention to this auction. My private jet has already applied for a flight route, and I'm going to return directly to the United States. I'll take my leave first! "
Xia Ruofei thought to himself, Could it be that this old man can't wait to try the taste of the one-headed abalone? Is that why he's in such a hurry to leave?
It was no wonder that Xia Ruofei was so suspicious. After all, when Guo Song and the others came over, Mr. Tang didn't seem to be in a hurry to leave at all. Instead, he was watching the fun from the side. Now that he had obtained two top-quality one-headed abalones and even applied for a flight route, it was really unreasonable for him to be in such a hurry to go back.
However, Xia Ruofei naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to expose him. He just smiled and said, "In that case, I won't keep you! Mr. Tang, let me see you out! "
Xia Ruofei and Tang He walked side by side to the door of the villa. The personal assistant, who had already placed the abalones, came forward and handed over a written cash check with both hands.
Tang He took the check and glanced at the amount. He took out a gold pen from his pocket and signed his name. Then, he handed it to Xia Ruofei with a smile.
The transaction of the two one-headed abalones involved 6 million Huaxia dollars. Although it was not a small amount, there was no need to go through the offshore company account. Tang He directly wrote a cash check in Huaxia dollars.
After all, this amount of money was equivalent to more than one million US dollars, and the offshore company had more than twelve million US dollars from the Phoebe Phoebe Zhennan transaction, so they had ample funds. In addition, the income of Paradise Farm and Winery would be settled with the offshore company. Once everything was on the right track, it would be at least ten million US dollars per month. Therefore, Xia Ruofei directly settled this small amount of money in Huaxia dollars.
He didn't even want to deposit the money into the company's public account. He just wanted to keep it in his personal account for daily use.
Xia Ruofei took the check and pocketed it without even looking at it. Then, he sent Tang He to the car and the two waved goodbye.
Xia Ruofei watched the car leave the courtyard of the villa before turning back to the house.
As soon as he entered the living room, Xia Ruofei heard his phone, which he had just put on the coffee table, vibrate.
He quickly walked over and picked up the phone. When he looked at the caller ID, it turned out to be Ma Xiong from Hong Kong.
Xia Ruofei guessed the purpose of Ma Xiong's call. He smiled and answered the phone. "Hello, Mr. Ma!"
"Xia Sheng! I saw the photos and videos of your company's dried abalones! "Ma Xiong's voice was very excited." This really gave me a fright … "
On the way back to the hotel, Guo Song had asked Luo Jiahao to send a copy of the materials collected today directly to Ma Xiong.
Guo Song realized that the boss would definitely be interested in these.
Sure enough, Ma Xiong quickly called Guo Song and asked him about the dried abalones in detail.
Naturally, Guo Song was full of praise. He even felt that any words of praise were pale and powerless in the face of those top-grade one-headed abalones. Only when he personally saw those heavy and huge one-headed abalones placed together could he feel the strong visual impact.
After Ma Xiong understood the situation, he immediately called Xia Ruofei. There was almost no delay at all.
Xia Ruofei joked, "Mr. Ma, I seem to have told you about the dried abalones before! Could it be that you didn't trust me before? "
Ma Xiong said somewhat embarrassedly, "Of course I completely trust Xia Sheng, but when I saw the photos and videos of the abalones with my own eyes, I was still shocked …"
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but laugh.
Ma Xiong then asked, "Xia Sheng, I have a presumptuous request …"
Xia Ruofei said directly, "Mr. Ma, I will reserve two one-headed abalones for you, but I am going to reserve the three heaviest abalones for the auction as the finale. Please understand …"
Ma Xiong called in a hurry at this time. Xia Ruofei was well aware of his intentions. Just now, Tang He had asked him to sell two abalones, so Ma Xiong couldn't be biased. He just had to follow Tang He's standards.
Of course, this was the end of the "back door" behavior. Otherwise, if Ma Xiong reserved two or three abalones and Ma Xiong reserved one or two abalones, there would be a total of twenty-five one-headed abalones. There would be no need to auction them at all.
Ma Xiong was overjoyed. "Okay, okay! Xia Sheng, thank you so much! "
Ma Xiong didn't expect Xia Ruofei to reserve the three heaviest abalones for him. The rarer something was, the more expensive it was. The best abalones were naturally reserved for the auction.
Ma Xiong called mainly because he was concerned that the auction of this batch of abalones was organized by the auction house under Hengfeng. When it came to the auction, it wasn't convenient for him, the big boss of Hengfeng, to bid.
Otherwise, people would accuse him of deliberately raising the price. Even if he succeeded in bidding for one or two abalones, the media would definitely question whether Hengfeng Group bought and sold abalones for the sake of creating a sky-high transaction record.
Therefore, the best way was to directly reserve one or two abalones from Xia Ruofei before the auction started.
After Ma Xiong saw the pictures and videos of the abalones, he couldn't resist the temptation. As a native of Hong Kong and a super-rich person, Ma Xiong had no resistance to the temptation of this kind of high-quality one-headed abalone.
Before he called, he was still thinking about how to phrase it. After all, Xia Ruofei's abalones were going to be auctioned. He didn't expect that before he even opened his mouth, Xia Ruofei would take the initiative to reserve two abalones for him. He really knew how to conduct himself!
Therefore, Ma Xiong was naturally overjoyed.
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Mr. Ma, you are too polite. This is what I should do. You have helped me so much!"
"Mutual benefit, mutual benefit …" Ma Xiong said with a hearty smile.
"Haha, yes, yes, yes, mutual benefit and win-win!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile. "Mr. Ma, then when I come to Hong Kong in a while, you can choose the dried abalones, right?"
"Okay, okay."
In fact, Ma Xiong couldn't wait to fly to Sanshan to choose the abalones. However, Xia Ruofei would bring the auctioned abalones to Hong Kong in a week or two at most. Moreover, he was a billionaire. If he was too impatient, it would damage his image. Therefore, he endured the itch in his heart and agreed to Xia Ruofei's proposal.
After hanging up the phone with Ma Xiong, Xia Ruofei took the initiative to tell Huzi's mother about the situation just now.
When she heard that those large abalones were sold for three million Huaxia dollars each, she couldn't help but be stunned.
Huzi's mother could imagine how precious these abalones were, but this sky-high price still subverted her understanding of price.
Of course, after coming back to her senses, Huzi's mother was more happy for Xia Ruofei. Now, she really treated Xia Ruofei as her own son. Xia Ruofei's business was flourishing, and she was sincerely happy.
Xia Ruofei chatted with his godmother for a while. Seeing that it was still early and that his godmother was about to start preparing lunch, he simply picked up his handbag and walked to the office building not far away.
These abalones were going to be auctioned, so the packaging had to be redesigned. Although Ma Xiong's publicity team at the auction house was very professional, Xia Ruofei still wanted to train the designers in his company.
Xia Ruofei didn't look for Feng Jing. Instead, he went directly to the big office of the marketing department.
Currently, the marketing department was responsible for advertising, sales, e-commerce, and other businesses. There was a special art team that was responsible for product packaging, publicity posters, online stores, and all other graphic design related work.
As soon as Xia Ruofei entered, he saw that everyone in the big office was working seriously. There were also employees who were holding folders and hurrying about.
Taoyuan Company was a new agricultural and sideline product company. The average age of the employees was very young, and the company's benefits were very good. Therefore, everyone was very motivated, and the atmosphere inside the company was very motivated.
When many employees saw Xia Ruofei, their first reaction was to be stunned for a moment. Then, they immediately greeted him respectfully.
In the company, especially in the big office of the lower departments, these employees were very surprised to see this big boss who was usually elusive.
"Boss Xia!"
"Hello, Boss Xia!"
Xia Ruofei also smiled and nodded at them.
He went straight to the office area where the art team was. Xiao Qiang, the marketing director, quickly walked out of his small cubicle and quickly walked to Xia Ruofei.
"Boss Xia!" Xiao Qiang greeted him from afar.
The big boss almost never came down. This time, he suddenly came to inspect, which made Xiao Qiang a little nervous.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Director Xiao, it's okay. Do your work. I have a small design here that I want my colleagues in the art team to help me do."
Xiao Qiang immediately breathed a sigh of relief and quickly shouted, "Little Zhong, come here!"
Zhong Lingling, the leader of the art team, was a girl of 23 or 24 years old. She was working in front of the computer. When she heard this, she quickly stood up and walked over.
Zhong Lingling was wearing a simple T-shirt and jeans. Her hair was tied into a ponytail, and she looked very childish.
However, she already had a lot of experience in graphic design. After graduating from technical secondary school, she had been working in this field for four or five years.
She was also Lin Qiao's instructor.
In fact, many people who worked in graphic design did not have high academic qualifications. Many of them were from technical secondary schools or technical schools. However, if they had strong professional skills, their salary was still very good.
Zhong Lingling was the leader of the art team in the Taoyuan Company. With bonuses and benefits, she could earn at least 7,000 to 8,000 yuan a month. This was a height that most technical secondary school graduates could not reach.
Zhong Lingling came in front of the two of them and greeted them, "Hello, Boss Xia! Hello, Director Xiao! "
Xiao Qiang said, "Little Zhong, Boss Xia has a design job for your art team. You must transfer the most capable people and bring out your unique skills. Do you understand?"
"Okay!" Zhong Lingling quickly replied.
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "It's not that exaggerated. It's a small job. It's very easy. Director Xiao, go ahead and do your work. I'll just take a look around and talk to Lingling about work. "
Xiao Qiang definitely wanted to accompany Xia Ruofei, but since the boss had spoken, he could only nod and say, "Okay, Boss Xia. If you need anything, please call me at any time!"
Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded.
After Xiao Qiang returned to his small cubicle office, Xia Ruofei smiled and said to Zhong Lingling, "Lingling, show me your office area!"
"Okay, Boss Xia!" Zhong Lingling said with a smile.
She had a very good relationship with Lin Qiao, and she never hid her abilities. Every time, she taught Lin Qiao very patiently. In addition, she was young and had a good mentality, so she was not as nervous in front of Xia Ruofei as she was in front of Xiao Qiang.
There were about seven or eight people in the art team, occupying a few boxes in the northeast corner of the office area. Zhong Lingling walked over with Xia Ruofei. As they walked, she introduced their work to Xia Ruofei.
Recently, the art team's main work was still the overall design and beautification of the Tmall flagship store. Four art designers were dividing the work.
The Tmall flagship store was an upgrade of Xia Ruofei's Taoyuan meat shop. According to Feng Jing's idea, the Taoyuan Company's Tmall flagship store would sell all the products of the Taoyuan Company in the future. In the short term, it would mainly be the Iron maple bucket and the succulent seedlings.
Xia Ruofei immediately saw Lin Qiao working seriously in front of the computer.
Xia Ruofei gestured for Zhong Lingling to keep quiet. Then, he stood behind Lin Qiao and watched quietly.
Lin Qiao's computer was open with the PS software. She seemed to be making a promotional poster. She stared at the computer screen and moved the mouse quickly. Her left hand pressed the combination shortcut keys from time to time. It seemed that she was quite familiar with the use of this software.
The little girl was very focused when she was working. She did not notice that someone was standing behind her. From time to time, she would stop and hold her chin with her hand as she looked at the computer screen in deep thought. Then, she would operate the computer to fine-tune the color scheme or a certain design element.
Xia Ruofei watched for six to seven minutes. Zhong Lingling and a few art designers nearby could not help but purse their lips and laugh. Lin Qiao did not notice at all.
It was not until she finished adjusting the font of the poster that she let out a long sigh of relief. She stretched lazily and moved her sore neck.
Lin Qiao reached out and touched Xia Ruofei, who was standing behind her.
She was also shocked. She quickly turned her chair around and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry … Brother Ruo Fei! Why are you here? "
When Lin Qiao saw Xia Ruofei, her tone immediately became very surprised.
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "I've been standing behind you for a long time. You're too focused, aren't you?"
Lin Qiao's pretty face blushed slightly. She said coquettishly, "Why are you like this? You didn't even say anything when you came. You just stood behind me quietly. Don't you know that you can scare people to death? "
Xia Ruofei shrugged and said, "I'm not a devil entering a village. What do you mean by quietly? So many people greeted me just now. Even Director Xiao from the marketing department came out. You were too focused and did not hear. "
Lin Qiao pouted and nodded. "Okay!"
Then, she asked curiously, "Ruofei -ge, what are you doing here? Could it be that you, the big boss, have found your conscience and are going to give benefits to us poor art designers? "
The girls in the art design team couldn't help but laugh. They looked at Lin Qiao with some envy.
Although Lin Qiao was also their colleague, they knew that Lin Qiao was different from them. Not only was she the sister of the company's boss, but she was also a top student who had just been admitted to Egret Island University. Her future was limitless!
Xia Ruofei chuckled and said, "What are you thinking? I'm here to assign tasks, of course! "
Then, Xia Ruofei said to Zhong Lingling, "There's a packaging design job. I'll have to trouble you guys."
Zhong Lingling quickly said, "Boss Xia, you don't have to be so polite. This is our job."
Lin Qiao was also very interested. She quickly said, "Packaging design? Ruofei -ge, let me do it, let me do it! "
Xia Ruofei said, "Isn't school going to start soon? What's more … you still have work to do! "
Lin Qiao said indifferently, "There are still a few days before school starts! As for the work on hand … Which one of us in the art design team doesn't have a few jobs? There are only a few of us now, and there are so many things to do. We're used to it! What we did in our previous life, we'll do it in this life! Isn't that right, Master? "
Lin Qiao smiled and turned her gaze to Zhong Lingling.
Zhong Lingling smiled awkwardly. This was something that the art designers always said when they were joking.
That was because the work of art designers was time-consuming, and design required creativity. Once a task was handed to them, the process from creativity to planning to specific design was very complicated. If the leader wasn't satisfied, they would have to redo it.
Redoing the design was a common occurrence. Sometimes, it was normal to do seven or eight drafts of the same task.
However, they could joke about it in private. In front of their boss, Xia Ruofei, and as his sister, Lin Qiao, they could also joke about it. However, ordinary employees like them couldn't say anything.
Xia Ruofei looked at Lin Qiao helplessly and said, "Lingling, I'll give you the task as the team leader. You can decide how to distribute it."
After that, Xia Ruofei told her some of the requirements for the sealed packaging design of the dried abalones, such as the size, style, elements that needed to be included, as well as the empty middle part to show the true details of the dried abalones, and so on.
Zhong Lingling took out a small notebook that she carried with her and quickly recorded it down. She nodded as she wrote.
She secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Xia Ruofei's task wasn't too complicated. If she were to do the design herself, she could finish it in one night. Even if it was a newbie, it would take at most one or two days to finish it.
After Xia Ruofei finished speaking, Zhong Lingling immediately asked, "Boss Xia, when do you want this design?"
Xia Ruofei thought for a while and said, "I'll give you three days. Can you finish it?"
Zhong Lingling smiled and said, "No problem! We can come up with the first draft the day after tomorrow! "
Xia Ruofei gave a thumbs up and said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work!"
Lin Qiao cried out from the side, "Master, leave this job to me! I can definitely do it well! "
Zhong Lingling looked at Xia Ruofei hesitantly.
Xia Ruofei shrugged and said with a smile, "I said, you can decide for yourself! I'll go first. You guys work hard … "
After that, Xia Ruofei walked out of the office.
Lin Qiao held Zhong Lingling's hand and looked at her expectantly.
In fact, Lin Qiao was already able to complete some design work on his own. However, this task was personally given by Xia Ruofei. Zhong Lingling was worried that Lin Qiao wasn't very familiar with the work and that the final product wouldn't satisfy Xia Ruofei. Not only would it have to be redone, but it might also delay Xia Ruofei's time.
Zhong Lingling thought for a while and said, "How about this! This task was personally given by Boss Xia. We have to make at least three designs for Boss Xia to choose from! I'm one, Qiao 'er is one, and … Lihua's sub-page design is finished, right? Then she's one too. We'll each make a set! "
"Roger that!" Lin Qiao said happily. Then, he couldn't wait to take the small notebook that Zhong Lingling had taken notes in. He took a few photos with his phone and immediately saved the poster that he had just made. He created a new PSD file and skillfully drew the reference line and started to design the outer packaging.
Xia Ruofei left the marketing department's big office. He wanted to stroll back to the villa and wait for lunch, but he bumped into Feng Jing after a few steps.
