After Ling Xiaotian heard this, she was also very interested and said, "That's a good idea! If we exchange shares, our cooperation will be even more solid, but … "
"Uncle Ling, don't worry! The exchange of shares is only for the Ling's Private Kitchen branch in Beijing! " Xia Ruofei said with a smile. "And, in our initial plan, I am one of the two biggest shareholders in the club! So, this cooperation will definitely not be messy, and it will be beneficial to both parties! "
"Then I'm relieved!" Ling Xiaotian laughed. "Ruofei, when are your friends free these few days? Invite them to the company, and we can sit down and talk!"
"Sure! But, they are mainly here for a vacation, and this meeting is also a sudden idea. Many of the ideas are not very mature, so we can only discuss something tentative at most. " Xia Ruofei said with a smile. "As for the specific details, we will have to wait until they return to Beijing and finish their inspection and evaluation before we can decide."
"That's for sure." Ling Xiaotian understood. "But, since everyone is going to cooperate, it's not a bad idea to get in touch with them in advance!"
"No problem!" Xia Ruofei said readily. "Uncle Ling, let's arrange the specific time later!"
"Okay, okay, okay! Then, you go entertain your friends first! "Ling Xiaotian seemed to be in a good mood.
But, before hanging up, Ling Xiaotian remembered something and quickly said, "Oh yeah, Ruofei, wait a minute, I have something to tell you!"
"Uncle Ling, what's the matter?" Xia Ruofei asked.
"It's about our Dingfeng Winery!" Ling Xiaotian said. "Isn't it almost the end of the year? The winery's profits this year are not bad, so let's split the profits at the end of the year. A few days ago, I asked the finance department to do a detailed calculation. Besides the necessary development funds, you can get about 50 million in dividends … "
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and say in surprise, "So much money?"
Ling Xiaotian laughed and said, "Now, the winery's gross monthly profits are about 21 million. After deducting taxes, management costs, and finance costs, we can get about 17 million. This is basically the net profit. The profits generated in the past six months have already exceeded 100 million."
The main reason for such good results was that the product was good.
The Dingfeng Winery was such an old brand, even the Third Mountain people's memories, but the winery was never dead.
After Xia Ruofei and Ling Xiaotian took over, other than investing a certain amount of funds to upgrade the equipment, there wasn't much additional expenditure in terms of costs. The raw materials were basically the same as before. Due to the advanced equipment, they even saved a lot of labor costs.
Under the situation where the cost was basically the same, the price of the product had greatly increased. Furthermore, the sales volume had increased by several times. As the Ring-Tu space was limited to the Archean realm, the production capacity couldn't be increased indefinitely. This also caused the Dingfeng Winery's Drunken Eight Immortals liquor to always be in short supply.
Furthermore, as its fame grew, the Drunken Eight Immortals liquor's price was relatively more affordable compared to the daunting prices of the first-tier liquor brands. Furthermore, the taste wasn't inferior to them at all. The five-month and one-year liquor even tasted better than aged Maotai. Naturally, more and more people liked the Drunken Eight Immortals liquor.
Therefore, the Dingfeng Winery didn't have to worry about sales at all. The existence of the sales department was very weak because this was a seller's market.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Uncle Ling, do you need to leave more development funds? You've taken 100 million yuan of profits all of a sudden. Will there be any problems with the winery's capital chain? "
He and Ling Xiaotian each had 50% of the shares. If he took 50 million yuan in dividends, Ling Xiaotian would also take 50 million yuan in dividends. This would add up to 100 million yuan.
Ling Xiaotian said, "That's enough! We still have at least 30 million yuan on the books. Because the sales of Drunken Eight Immortals are too hot, the distributors have taken the initiative to shorten the accounting period. Some have even used cash to transfer goods. They want more shares. Our raw material suppliers are all old customers, so there won't be any runs. The winery's capital chain is very healthy! Furthermore … even if there's a small problem with the capital chain, it's still very easy for me to transfer some funds from the Lingji Restaurant Group to deal with the emergency. Besides, don't we still have you? "
With that said, Ling Xiaotian said regretfully, "The reason why we took out so much money in dividends is mainly because the winery's production capacity is already saturated. There's no way to expand production. It's useless to leave too much money on the books, right?"
Xia Ruofei was a little embarrassed. This problem was mainly caused by him. However, the Ring-Tu space's Archean Realm was only so big. More than a hundred tons of wine every month already took up a lot of space.
This was because he had specially customized a batch of sturdy shelves that allowed the wine jars to be placed in layers. Otherwise, the Archean Realm would be filled with wine jars everywhere.
Therefore, it was basically impossible to continue expanding production capacity.
Unless the space was upgraded further. However, after the space had been upgraded a few times, the Archean Realm's range hadn't expanded. Xia Ruofei also knew that it wasn't easy to maintain a thirty-fold faster time flow. Therefore, he didn't have much hope of expanding the Archean Realm's range after the space's next upgrade.
Furthermore, he felt that Drunken Eight Immortals' sales model was pretty good. It was appropriate to maintain a little hunger marketing. No matter how hot the sales were, there was only so much production. What he pursued was product quality. He had to strive for perfection!
Generally, high-quality brands were somewhat aloof.
Xia Ruofei laughed dryly and said, "Uncle Ling, actually, the process and links to improve the liquor are quite troublesome. Furthermore, it has to be done manually. Therefore … expanding production capacity might not be easy …"
Ling Xiaotian laughed heartily and said, "Ruofei, I'm just saying. I've been in business for so many years, and I know very well that greed is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant. The winery's current performance is already a huge surprise! "
"Uncle, it's good that you understand …" Xia Ruofei said. "Then … since there's no problem with the winery's capital chain, I'll accept the dividends!"
Now that the domestic company's accounts had basically been squeezed dry, Xia Ruofei would have more money on hand with this fifty million yuan. Even if the club's plans were to be brought forward, at least he wouldn't have to use overseas funds.
Ling Xiaotian laughed and said, "Alright! I'll get the finance department to prepare the dividend documents and send them over for you to sign. Then, I'll transfer the money to you! By the way, it's to your personal account, right? "
"Yes! You know my account number. "Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
When Xia Ruofei and Ling Xiaotian cooperated, they used technology to buy 50% of the shares. They didn't take money from the company's accounts, so it was equivalent to personal ownership. Naturally, the dividends didn't need to be transferred to the Taoyuan Company's account.
Although Xia Ruofei had a 100% controlling stake in the Taoyuan Company, he had promised to give Feng Jing profits and dividends. Moreover, the scope of dividends and benefits would be expanded in the future. Therefore, the accounts had to be clarified in the future. Public was public, private was private.
Including the club in Beijing, Xia Ruofei didn't intend to use the company's name to buy shares. Instead, he used his personal name. After all, this didn't have much to do with the company's business.
Of course, it wasn't because he wanted to give the employees dividends, so Xia Ruofei deliberately reduced the Taoyuan Company's profit points.
In fact, including the Iron maple bucket, caterpillar fungus, and other highly profitable projects, they were all operated by Xia Ruofei himself. In the end, they were all operated in the company's name. The profits were already unimaginable for ordinary people.
The dividends and benefits were originally to motivate the employees. Xia Ruofei naturally wouldn't do something that would destroy the Great Wall for a small loss.
After ending the call with Ling Xiaotian, Xia Ruofei returned to the villa and found that Zhao Yongjun and the others were surrounding the big fish tank in the living room. They looked very interested.
Seeing Xia Ruofei come back, Hou Liang shouted, "Brother Xia, you really are a big local tycoon! You actually raised such a high-quality Blood Red Dragon! "
Zhao Yongjun was obviously an expert in this field. He said, "Ruofei, not bad! Your Blood Red Dragon's size, head, fins, hair color, and range are all top-notch. The redness is simply perfect! If it weren't for the obvious characteristics, I would have mistaken it for a Chili Red Dragon! "
The redness of a Blood Red Dragon was slightly lower than that of a Chili Red Dragon, but Xia Ruofei's Blood Red Dragon's was obviously higher than that of a normal Chili Red Dragon. This was extremely rare …
Even Wei Jun, who didn't know much about Arowana, couldn't help but exclaim, "It's simply too beautiful! It's like a work of art … "
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "That's the effect of the light. It's actually not that red …"
Zhao Yongjun said seriously, "I've been playing with Arowana for many years. I can still tell if it's the light or the natural color. Ruofei, don't be modest. This Blood Red Dragon is not cheap, right?"
Zhao Yongjun was very fond of antiques and literature. Many of his hobbies were related. Many collectors also liked to raise fish, play with crickets, play with walnuts, or gourds. Coincidentally, Zhao Yongjun liked to raise Arowana. He also had a pair of very good Red Dragons at home.
Of course, compared to Xia Ruofei's, they were a few grades lower …
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "Alright, alright! Brothers, stop looking. We're almost drooling … Brother Zhao, actually, I have some connections to get Red Arowana of good quality. If you like it, I'll find you a pair next time. But it definitely won't be this big! "
Zhao Yongjun was overjoyed and said, "That's great! It's okay if it's smaller. As long as it's a good breed, it'll be more satisfying to raise it yourself! "
Red Arowana could be raised for many years. The feeling of raising a Red Arowana from a young age was often much better than buying a pair of adult Red Dragons.
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Okay! Then I'll pay attention. I'll definitely find you a pair of pure-blooded Red Arowana of good quality. At least it's not far from mine! "
"Okay, okay, okay! Brother, thank you in advance! "Zhao Yongjun rubbed his hands excitedly.
Hou Liang couldn't help but feel a little tempted. He quickly said with a smile, "Brother Xia … That … If you have something good, don't forget me! I also want a pair … "
"Me too!" Xu Zixuan, Song Rui, and Liu Jian said in unison.
Only Wei Jun was a little embarrassed. However, the expression on his face was very obvious. It was obvious that he also wanted it.
Zhao Yongjun pretended to be serious and said, "What are all of you doing? Do you think that Red Arowana of the best quality are cabbages? You take one pair and I'll take one pair. Do you think the children will split the fruit? "
Hou Liang quickly said, "Brother Jun, no matter how many Brother Xia can find, it will definitely be given to you first! If there are more, even if the quality is slightly worse, can you still consider us? Brother Xia, I was the one who said it first! "
As Hou Liang spoke, he looked at Xia Ruofei with a steely expression.
Before Xia Ruofei could say anything, Zhao Yongjun said, "Do all of you really think that Red Arowana is the same as those common goods sold in the flower and bird market? Do you know how much a pair of Red Arowana of the best quality is? "
Hou Liang was a little confused and asked, "How much? Fifty thousand? A hundred thousand? Brother Jun, this fish is really beautiful. Even if it's a little more expensive, we still want to keep it! "
Zhao Yongjun laughed and said, "Fifty thousand? A hundred thousand? Liangzi, look at how inexperienced you are! Ruofei, tell them, such an excellent breed of Red Arowana of the best quality, what is the price? "
Xia Ruofei looked at Hou Liang and said, "Red Arowana of similar quality, a pair of Red Arowana of about six million! Last time, there was a pair of Arowana of the best quality, and it was sold for 18.88 million! "
Hou Liang and the others were shocked by the price, but Zhao Yongjun already knew about the market, so he was not surprised. His focus was on the Arowana of the Red Arowana.
Zhao Yongjun opened his eyes wide and said in disbelief, "You can actually find Arowana of the Red Arowana? Ruofei … This is unbelievable! "
Xia Ruofei said embarrassedly, "It's just a coincidence … Brother Zhao, you know the trade. This kind of mutated breed is hard to find …"
"That's true …" Zhao Yongjun said, "But next time, you must leave the best for me! If there are mutated breeds, that would be great. The price is not a problem! "
"Of course, of course!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "I will call you if there is any news …"
At this time, Hou Liang recovered from the shock and murmured, "I really haven't seen the world … A pair of ornamental fish is sold for six million, and there are even some that are close to twenty million …"
"The rarer something is, the more valuable it is!" Xia Ruofei said, not surprised. "Actually, this thing is just spending money to buy happiness. There are many rich people nowadays!"
