In the vineyard of Wester Winery.
Xia Ruofei was led by an excited Old West as they walked between the ridges. From time to time, the two of them would squat down to check on the condition of the grape seedlings.
"Boss, the vitality of these grape seedlings is really good!" Old West exclaimed. "So far, we haven't found any dead seedlings! It's almost certain that the survival rate is more than 99%! "
Xia Ruofei also saw that the two or three shoots that were left on the seedlings had already sprouted and turned into small green leaves. Obviously, they had begun to take root and absorb nutrients.
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "I didn't lie to you, did I? Uncle Carter, you're not worried now, are you? "
Old West rolled his eyes and said slowly, "Boss, survival is only the first step, and also the most basic step. The key is still how many years it will take to bear fruit. Also, the quality of the grapes and whether they can satisfy the needs of winemaking are still unknown!"
"A good start is half the battle!" Xia Ruofei joked. "Our winery's road to recovery is already half successful. Isn't that worth celebrating?"
Old West was stunned for a moment, then laughed heartily and said, "Boss, you're a little different from the other Huaxia people. My impression of Huaxia people is that most of them are low-key, humble, and even pessimistic. But you're full of optimism!"
Xia Ruofei stood up, patted the soil off his hands, and said with a smile, "That's because I have absolute confidence in these seedlings! Uncle Carter, maybe it won't take as long as a few years. Very soon, you'll be able to put your heart at ease! "
Old West was puzzled and asked, "Why?"
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "Uncle Carter, don't worry so much. The only thing you need to do is to take care of this place and the grape seedlings in the Golden Oak Winery. Use the most scientific method to manage them. Leave the rest to time!"
Old West shrugged and said, "Alright! I'm a professional in this area! "
"Of course! I have absolute confidence in you! "Xia Ruofei said.
Xia Ruofei then drove Old West to the nearby Golden Oak Winery vineyard to check on the growth of the grape seedlings before returning to Wonderland Farm.
Xia Ruofei stayed in Australia for another two days. He made a special trip to Sydney to visit Tang Yitian's family and guide Tang Haoran's cultivation. Then, he took a flight from Sydney back to Huaxia.
After more than ten hours of long-distance flight, Xia Ruofei dragged his boarding box out of Sanshan Airport.
As soon as he stepped out of the airport, Xia Ruofei was stunned. He saw Ye Linyun and Feng Jing standing beside her.
"Chairman, you've worked hard!" Feng Jing greeted him with a smile.
Xia Ruofei asked. "Manager Feng, why are you here personally? What's the matter? What's the matter? "
"Of course it's something good!" Feng Jing said with a smile. "Let's go, we'll talk in the car!"
The three of them got into the car at the parking lot. Xia Ruofei asked, "What's the matter? You even came to the airport to pick me up personally. It seems like this is the first time I've received such treatment, right? "
Feng Jing said happily, "Chairman, the second round of sales of our Yuji ointment has just ended. It's doing pretty well!"
Xia Ruofei laughed in spite of herself. "Just because of this? You could have called me and told me, or you could have waited until I got back to the company. "
"Isn't this important?" Feng Jing looked at Xia Ruofei coquettishly and said, "It's just as we predicted. After about half a month of brewing, the public opinion of the Yuji ointment didn't drop. Instead, it's on the rise. Because the first batch of customers started to use it, the magical effects of the Yuji ointment were revealed. The number of discussions on the internet suddenly increased!"
Feng Jing was very excited. She continued, "Other than a few unknown online ghostwriters, the majority of the comments were positive. Also, many forum posts and Weibo's verified accounts posted reviews. There should be quite a few professionals among them! Their comments on our product are quite high! "
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "This is all within our expectations!"
"Then guess how long it took to sell out this round of sales? The amount of stock released by the e-commerce platform is the same as the last round. "Feng Jing looked at Xia Ruofei and asked with a smile.
"The last time it was released … I remember it was around two minutes?" Xia Ruofei scratched his head and said, "Since you asked me, it must have been faster … This time … one and a half minutes?"
Feng Jing smiled and said, "Don't guess! You definitely won't be able to guess it! Let me tell you, it was 59 seconds! In less than a minute, all the stock was sold out! "
"Wow! These consumers are crazy! Our product isn't cheap! "Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
"What's not cheap? 588 yuan for a bottle, which is the price of mid-to-high-end cosmetics. Also, we have so many of them. Compared to those international brands, it's like a cabbage! " Feng Jing said, "But when it comes to the effect, those cosmetics that cost thousands or even tens of thousands are not even worthy of carrying the shoes of our Yuji ointment!"
"Domineering!" Xia Ruofei smiled and gave Feng Jing a thumbs up.
Feng Jing smiled embarrassedly and continued, "Chairman, you don't know, but when the sales time was up, the backend orders soared like a rocket. I was even worried that the platform's server wouldn't be able to take it …"
"You're thinking too much. On Singles' Day, millions of orders were processed in a second, and there weren't any major problems!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "The transaction volume of more than 100 billion a day was fine with such a large number of visitors. Our level of data is nothing …"
Feng Jing smiled and said, "You're right. Although I've been following up the whole time, it still feels like a dream. A transaction volume of 100 million a minute! It's just like robbing money! "
Xia Ruofei said, "Don't say this outside … Our cost is very high!"
After Xia Ruofei said that, he winked at Feng Jing. Feng Jing couldn't help but giggle.
Afterwards, Feng Jing said in a serious tone, "Chairman, I have something else to report to you..."
"What is it …" Xia Ruofei rubbed his eyes. After sitting on the plane for more than ten hours, he felt a little tired mentally, so he leaned against the seat and closed his eyes to rest.
Feng Jing said, "Recently, I've been looking for a suitable building in the city …"
Xia Ruofei opened his eyes suddenly and said with a smile, "I was wondering why you came to pick me up in person today! It must be because of this matter! "
Xia Ruofei knew about the company's headquarters building. Feng Jing wanted to speed up the progress. After all, it was more convenient to work in Taoyuan Farm in the early stages. However, as the company developed and grew, it wasn't appropriate for the company's headquarters to be in the suburban farm.
In fact, Xia Ruofei had already realized this point, but she just couldn't find the time to do it.
Feng Jing smiled embarrassedly and nodded.
Xia Ruofei said, "Tell me! What have you gained recently? "
"It's like this … I found a property and felt that it was more suitable in all aspects." Feng Jing sorted out her thoughts and said, "This property is located on Xishan Road in Zhonglou District. The geographical location is better …"
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "You can introduce the situation of this property to me directly!"
"Okay, chairman." Feng Jing nodded and said, "This is an office building called Hengli Building. It was jointly developed by Power Construction Group and a real estate company."
Xia Ruofei frowned slightly and said, "A state-owned enterprise?"
"Yes!" Feng Jing said, "At that time, Power Construction Group provided the land and Bojun Real Estate provided the money to build this building. It has a total of fifteen floors. Floors one to nine are owned by Bojun Real Estate, and floors ten to fifteen are owned by Power Construction Group. Now, they are going to sell the part owned by Power Construction Group, floors ten to fifteen!"
Xia Ruofei pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "This kind of joint development is common, but under normal circumstances, they should have a priority acquisition clause in the contract!"
Feng Jing smiled and said, "I have already understood. There is a priority acquisition clause in the contract, but in the past two years, Bojun Real Estate has not been operating well, and there is a little problem with the capital chain. They have no ability to buy this part of the property. They have already announced that they will give up the right to buy, so the current situation is that the property on floors ten to fifteen is for public sale. The competent authority is the Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission!"
"What's the price?" Xia Ruofei asked.
Feng Jing obviously did her homework. She said without hesitation, "As far as I know, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission wanted to use the auction method at first, but there were not many companies that responded, so they changed it to the inquiry method. I specially organized a team to analyze it. If we quote thirty thousand yuan per square meter, we should be able to succeed."
Then, without waiting for Xia Ruofei to ask, Feng Jing threw out a set of data, "Every floor of Hengli Building is about 1500 square meters. Dejian Company has a total of six floors, and the total area is about 9000 square meters. In this case, the total price is about 270 million yuan! Our company's current liquidity is about 150 million yuan, and the sales of the Yuji Ointment in the future will bring in a lot of cash. As long as we ask for a payment in installments during the negotiation, and pay in one or two years, we will be able to buy it even if we don't apply for a bank loan! "
Feng Jing got more and more excited as she spoke. She turned to look at Xia Ruofei and said, "Chairman, I personally think that this is a very good opportunity!"
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Oh? Manager Feng is so optimistic about this property, there must be a good reason. Tell me about it! If you can convince me, I will fully support your acquisition! You don't have to worry about the funds! "
Feng Jing nodded her head and said, "Chairman, first of all, this is a ready-made building. It used to be an office building. After we purchase it, we will be able to put it to use immediately after some simple renovations. Our company has no choice but to move our headquarters. If that's the case, buying it directly is obviously faster than selling the land and building it later!"
Xia Ruofei nodded, but he didn't say anything.
So Feng Jing continued, "The second reason is that Dejian Company's property is located on the 10th to 15th floor of the building. This is obviously a better location than the 9th floor. And from the outside, Hengli Building is located in the center of Sanshan City, Xishan Road, Zhonglou District. That is the CBD area. There are many office buildings nearby. If we have property here, even if it is only half of the building, it will greatly improve our company's image!"
"En!" Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Is there a third reason?"
"Of course!" Feng Jing smiled and said, "Third, if we buy it, we will become one of the two owners of Hengli Building. The owner of the 1st to 9th floors is Bojun Real Estate. As I said just now, they have not been doing well in the past two years, and their capital chain is on the verge of breaking. They may have to deal with some properties to cash out. That is to say …"
Xia Ruofei continued Feng Jing's words and said, "That is to say, if we buy the property of Hengli Building, it is very likely that we will buy the remaining 1st to 9th floors from Bojun Real Estate. Then the whole building will belong to our company!"
Feng Jing said excitedly, "Yes! According to our analysis, this possibility is still very high. Bojun Real Estate's situation is not very good. "
Then, Feng Jing said, "Chairman, in this way, we have a high possibility of owning a building independently. At that time, it will not be called Hengli Building. It will be called Taoyuan Building!"
Xia Ruofei pondered for a while and nodded and said, "En! In this way … In the future, if our company continues to develop and expand, the space will be enough. Manager Feng, this is a sustainable acquisition plan! "
Feng Jing looked at Xia Ruofei with some apprehension and asked, "Chairman, what do you mean?"
"Yes!" Xia Ruofei said concisely.
Feng Jing was stunned for a moment, then reacted. She was overjoyed and said happily, "Chairman, you agree!"
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "You have said so many reasons, and these reasons are very sufficient. I also agree. Of course, I agree!"
When Xia Ruofei said this, he looked at Feng Jing with a strange expression and said, "Manager Feng, you can't be thinking that I have a negative attitude towards moving the headquarters, right?"
Feng Jing muttered in her heart, "You have always been very negative, but it seems that I misunderstood. It is not that you are not willing to spend money to move the headquarters, but … it is purely because you are lazy!"
Although she was complaining in her heart, she still showed mercy because Xia Ruofei had already agreed to her plan to start the acquisition of Hengli Building.
She smiled and said, "No, no … In the past, we did not have enough funds. Even if we had an idea, it was difficult to implement it! The entire company belongs to you. How can you be so negative? "
