Chapter 417: Wonderland Farm

The farm guards quickly removed the barricades, and the extended Bentley slowly drove into the confines of Wonderland Farm. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

What catches the eye is an endless meadow, where the green grass sways slightly in the breeze, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds, which is refreshing.

This is a 6,000-hectare farm! Coupled with the undulating terrain, it is almost impossible to see the edge with the naked eye.

The Bentley car drove in the picturesque farm, and Liang Qichao introduced on the side: "Ruofei, our fairyland farm covers an area of about 6,000 hectares, distributed in a long and narrow shape, about 4 kilometers wide from east to west, and about 15 kilometers long from north to south. At present, the farm is mainly engaged in animal husbandry, with a total of more than 30,000 sheep and 3,000 Angus cattle, with an annual output value of about 8 million Australian dollars. ”

At this time, the car passed by a building that looked new, Liang Qichao pointed to the building outside and said: "This is Grandpa Cousin's thoroughbred breeding base, covering an area of about 150 hectares, with a special fully irrigated grass track and an all-weather track, a horse swimming and walking pool and a training ground that can accommodate 78 horses at the same time, this is Grandpa Cousin's treasure!"

Tang He couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and his eyes looked at the thoroughbred base outside, which was also full of pride.

Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded, he understood this situation, when the contract was signed, Tang He specifically proposed to make this thoroughbred horse breeding base independent, including all the facilities and horse racing ownership in it belong only to Tang He himself, and the operation and management of the purebred horse breeding base is also Tang He's final say, and it has not changed because of the change of farm equity.

"I'll definitely come over and have a good visit when I have time!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "I heard that Old Man Tang has several world-class racehorses under his name." ”

"Haha! Then you're here! The new Fiot I bought this year is now living and training in this thoroughbred breeding base!" Tang He said with a smile on his head.

Tang He loves food and horse racing, and he has collected many of the world's top racing horses, and his horses often win gold and silver in major races around the world, earning him a lot of honors.

As the car drove on, a small farm on the shore of an artificial lake came into view.

Liang Qichao said with a smile: "Ruofei, in addition to the thoroughbred breeding base, our farm also has a farm, including a small villa, a warehouse, a veterinary station and 10 ordinary residences, in addition to a complete feeding shed, helipad, isolation stable and other facilities, it can be said that the degree of modernization is still very high." ”

The farm farm ended the tour, and the car stopped in front of a small and exquisite villa.

The group got out of the car, Xia Ruofei took a deep breath, and the air in the Hunter Valley was filled with a unique grape fragrance - this is the most famous wine region in Australia.

The artificial lake next to it is sparkling, there are a few swans swimming in the water, from time to time there are birds across the water, leaving a ripple, and then in the distance is the green grassland, the afternoon sun is just right, people can't help but have a sense of laziness.

This is definitely a good place for leisure and vacation! Xia Ruofei sighed in his heart.

"Brother Liang, no wonder you look so good, I'm a little jealous of you......" Xia Ruofei said half-jokingly.

Liang Qichao laughed and said: "Why don't you give up your domestic career and concentrate on running this farm in Australia!"

Xia Ruofei suddenly said depressedly: "I want to! But this is not realistic at all, at least in the short term, the focus of his career must be in China......

Liang Qichao shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then there is no way! But you are also the big boss of the Wonderland Farm now, you can come over at any time if you want to relax, although there are not many rooms on the farm, but you can still live with three or five girls!"

Tang He couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and quipped: "Brother Xia, I think you can consider Qi Chao's suggestion! When do you want to come over, let me know in advance, I will transfer the private jet for you, and it will be eight or nine hours to fly from Huaxia, which is very convenient!"

Xia Ruofei smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, when I collect three or five girls, I will definitely not be polite to you......"

Tang He looked up and laughed.

The group walked into the only small cottage on the 6,000-hectare farm.

Although it is only a small villa, it has 10 bedrooms and has all the facilities you need.

Wonderland Farm is not one of those inferior farms with cabbage prices, its geographical location is excellent, it is only more than 100 kilometers away from the central city of Sydney, and it is itself in a tourist resort such as the Hunter Valley, which can basically solve all the needs of life within 20 kilometers.

In addition, there is no shortage of modern facilities such as telephones and Internet on the farm.

You must know that some nouveau riche in China blindly invest when they see that Australian farms are cheap, and only regret them after buying them -- some farms do not even have water warrants and cannot use agricultural irrigation water within the rated capacity; some farms have an extremely low legal carrying capacity of livestock, and they cannot raise a few livestock in a vast area, and if they raise more animals than they can without authorization, they will be punished for the crime of abusing animals; and some farms are located in remote areas, and they have to drive two or three hours to the nearest town, so it can be said that they are completely isolated from the world......

In contrast, the conditions of Wonderland Farm are simply not too good.

Of course, its price is also much more expensive, with an area of 6,000 hectares of more than 40 million Australian dollars, which will be daunting for many buyers.

This small cottage on the farm is left by the previous farmer and has been around for decades, but it is relatively well maintained, and although it looks a little old on the outside, it is still very comfortable to use.

On the first floor of the villa, facing the artificial lake, there is a huge glass bay window, and next to the bay window is a small sitting area, where guests can sit in this super light area while enjoying the amazing view.

Now Xia Ruofei and his entourage are sitting in this reception area, and Liang Qichao is making tea for everyone.

Xia Ruofei took a sip of hot tea, and then asked, "Brother Liang, our farm is so big, there should be a lot of workers......, right?

Liang Qichao said with a smile: "Are you guessing wrong...... The entire Wonderland Farm, including me, has only eleven employees, four of whom are from the thoroughbred breeding base, and only seven people actually work for the farm......"

"Wow......" Xia Ruofei couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

"Actually, it's not surprising, the farms are very modern, and the labor cost here in Australia is expensive, so we are very budget-conscious when it comes to hiring workers. Liang Qichao said with a smile, "At present, the manpower is just right, but if we adjust our business strategy in the next step, we may recruit a few more people." ”

Now that we have talked about this, Tang He also asked with a smile: "Brother Xia, you also took a general look at the conditions of the farm just now, do you have any ideas for the next step of our farm's business adjustment?"

In fact, Xia Ruofei was already thinking about this problem on the way here, so he said after groaning slightly: "Mr. Tang, Brother Liang, the purpose of our cooperation was to introduce high-quality Taoyuan vegetables to the fairyland farm, so there is no doubt about the next step in the development of vegetable planting. ”

Tang He nodded slightly and continued to listen to Xia Ruofei's opinion.

After Xia Ruofei took a sip of tea, he continued: " Taoyuan vegetables can be successfully planted, after the production can open up sales in the Australian market, I think these need to be explored step by step in our practical work, therefore, my opinion is that the early stage of small-scale planting, within 500 hectares is appropriate, experimental planting at the same time, but also to test the Australian market reaction, if everything is as we expected, then after half a year to a year, we can begin to expand the scale, and even slowly shift the focus of business from animal husbandry to planting. ”

Tang He nodded and said, "It's right to be steady, I agree with you." ”

Liang Qichao also said: "Regarding vegetable planting, I also conducted some market research after arriving in Australia, and Australians' vegetable intake is generally insufficient, that is to say, Australians generally do not like to eat vegetables, which is a disadvantage;

Tang He glanced at Liang Qichao appreciatively, obviously very satisfied with Liang Qichao's entry into the role so quickly.

At the beginning, his original intention was to let Liang Qichao and Liang Xiaojun enter the United States to work in Shengbang together, which was a bit of a meaning for the two to fight in the ring.

Liang Qichao took the initiative to apply to work in Australia, which was a bit unexpected to him, but Liang Qichao made a great contribution to the purchase of Jin Sinan, and Tang He finally agreed to his request, which was not too much.

But in terms of the degree of attention, Tang He obviously attaches more importance to Liang Xiaojun, who has been trained in Shengbang in the United States, after all, Australia is just a farm, and the pattern is still too small.

But today, he saw that Liang Qichao took care of the farm in an orderly manner in a short period of time, and he was quite forward-looking, and did some market research in advance, which also increased his impression of Liang Qichao a lot.

Xia Ruofei smiled slightly: "Australians don't like to eat vegetables, that's because their locally produced vegetables are too unpalatable! I believe that after our Taoyuan vegetables enter the Australian market, they will soon fall in love with eating vegetables, maybe the diet structure of Australians will change because of our market behavior!"

Xia Ruofei was full of confidence in his words, but Tang He and Liang Qichao, who had tasted Taoyuan vegetables in person, both felt that they were taking it for granted, and they didn't think that they were talking big.

Of course, the premise is to successfully grow Taoyuan vegetables of no less quality than domestic in Wonderland Farm.

Tang He was also most concerned about this question, so he immediately asked: "Brother Xia, it seems that the key now is to successfully grow Taoyuan vegetables in Australia with a quality that is not lower than that of China! Do you have an idea about this?"

Xia Ruofei said: "Mr. Tang, I have been thinking about this problem for a long time, and I think the best plan is to import vegetable seeds from Taoyuan Company in the name of Wonderland Farm. Our Taoyuan vegetables are improved varieties, at present, only our Taoyuan company has this technology, theoretically as long as there are high-quality seeds, Taoyuan vegetables can be grown! Of course, whether these seeds can adapt to Australia's water and soil remains to be tested in practice. ”

In fact, the seeds that have been fully soaked in the Lingxin Flower petal solution will definitely be able to survive and be planted successfully in Australia, but Xia Ruofei naturally can't be full of words.

Tang He nodded and said: "The way to import seeds is good, now Australia imports all kinds of seeds from China every year, and the relevant procedures should not be difficult." ”

Xia Ruofei said: "Mr. Tang, there is something I have to explain to you in advance. Our current research shows that the genetic traits of Taoyuan vegetable seeds will disappear in the second generation, which means that Wonderland Farm will not be able to breed independently at that time, and can only continue to import seeds from Taoyuan Company......"

Tang He couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard this, this was tantamount to having no autonomy at all! But he thought about it, the major shareholder of this fairyland farm was Xia Ruofei himself, and his shares were not as high as Xia Ruofei's!

Xia Ruofei seemed to guess Tang He's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Mr. Tang, Wonderland Farm can sign a supply contract with Taoyuan Company, and Taoyuan Company will guarantee sufficient seed supply, and guarantee that it will be exclusively supplied to Wonderland Farm within Australia, and will not seek other partners, so that with a formal contract, the interests of both parties can be protected......

Tang He's brows immediately relaxed, and he nodded and said, "I agree, if you do this, Wonderland Farm can give 20% of the profits to Taoyuan Company as a technology transfer fee......"

"No, no, no, we can negotiate the price of the seeds, and we don't have to pay for the technology transfer. Xia Ruofei said, "When I first bought the shares, my technology was already worth five million US dollars, and Wonderland Farm can use this technology for free." ”

Tang He smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Xia, in the long run, the profit generated by this technology is far more than five million dollars......!

He didn't know that Taoyuan Company needed to continue to provide seeds, thinking that as long as Xia Ruofei's cultivation technology was available, Australian farms could develop vegetable cultivation independently, and in that case, the price of five million US dollars was still appropriate, and even Xia Ruofei still earned.

But now this situation is different, it is no exaggeration to say that if Xia Ruofei is willing, he will take these high-quality vegetable seeds to cooperate with any vegetable grower in the world, and there will be a lot of people rushing to cooperate with the net profit of 30%, 40% or even 50%.

Taoyuan vegetables are definitely phenomenal products, and they are a big killer that can subvert the market!

Xia Ruofei smiled slightly: "Mr. Tang, just follow the plan I said! I value the long-term cooperation between our two sides more than the immediate small profits." ”

Tang He was stunned for a moment, then laughed and patted Xia Ruofei on the shoulder, and said, "Okay! Brother Xia, then do as you say!"

"Qi Chao, you immediately go through the relevant procedures for seed import. Tang He turned his head to Liang Qichao and said, "Regarding the introduction of seeds and experimental planting, you have to keep an eye on it personally, this is the top priority of Wonderland Farm!"

"Yes!" Liang Qichao said.

After chatting about business, the group took the farm's open-top off-road vehicle around the farm again, and Xia Ruofei once again intuitively appreciated the vastness of the fairyland farm - even if the domestic Taoyuan Farm expands again, it can't be compared with it at all.

Then Xia Ruofei was also invited to visit Tang He's thoroughbred horse breeding base, and saw more than 20 high-quality racing horses cultivated here, especially the Fiott, Tang He also specially let the jockey ride it on the professional grass track for a few laps, which opened Xia Ruofei's eyes.

However, Xia Ruofei also knows that horse racing is really a rich man's game, and for the time being, he doesn't have so much thought, energy and money to play horse racing.

Tang He accompanied Xia Ruofei to stay on the farm for half a day, and at ten o'clock in the evening, he left the farm with his bodyguards and assistants to return to Sydney, and returned to the United States by private jet that night.

He purely came to accompany Xia Ruofei this time, otherwise he didn't need to be there in person at all.

Just to accompany Xia Ruofei to inspect the farm, he wasted a whole day, which also shows how much Tang He attaches importance to Xia Ruofei.

Before leaving, Tang He also repeatedly suggested that Xia Ruofei stay for a few more days and have a good time in Australia, and at the same time, he also said that after he returned to the United States, he would let the plane return to Sydney Airport to standby for Xia Ruofei to use when he returned to China.

Xia Ruofei felt a little flattered, and after resigning a few times, Tang He still insisted, so he had no choice but to go.

Seeing Tang He's car drift away in the sunset, and finally disappeared from sight, Liang Qichao said with a smile: "Ruofei, I will arrange it for the next few days, I will take you to have a good taste of the Australian customs! Especially the style of the Australian girl, hahaha......"
