Chapter 738: Feng Jing's New Goal
Wester Winery Vineyard.
Xia Ruofei, under the leadership of the excited old West, walked between the ridges, and the two squatted down from time to time to check the situation of the grape seedlings.
"Boss, the vitality of these vine seedlings is really good!" exclaimed Old West, "not a single dead seedling has been found so far!, almost certainly more than 99 percent survival!"
Xia Ruofei also saw that many of the two or three shoots left on the seedlings during planting had now sprouted and turned into small green leaves, obviously they had begun to take root and absorb nutrients.
Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "I didn't lie to you, Uncle Carter, aren't you worried now?"
Old West rolled his eyelids and said unhurriedly: "Boss, survival is only the first step, and it is also the most basic step, the key is that it will take a few years to bear fruit, and the quality of the grapes produced and whether they can meet the needs of winemaking, all this is still unknown!"
"A good start is half the battle!" Xia Ruofei joked, "Our winery's revival is already halfway successful, isn't it worth celebrating?"
Old West paused for a moment, then laughed heartily, and said: "Boss, you are a little different from ordinary Chinese people, most of the Chinese people in my impression are low-key, humble, and even many are pessimists, but you are full of optimism!"
Xia Ruofei stood up, patted the soil on his hands, and said with a smile: "That's because I have absolute confidence in these seedlings! Uncle Carter, maybe it won't be as long as a few years, and soon you will be able to completely put your heart in your stomach!"
Old West asked, puzzled, "Why?"
Xia Ruofei laughed and said: "Uncle Carter, don't worry about it so much, the only thing you have to do is to take care of the grape seedlings here and Golden Oak Winery, manage them in the most scientific way, and leave the rest to time!"
Old West shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay! I'm a professional at this!"
"Of course, I have absolute confidence in you!" Xia Ruofei said.
Xia Ruofei drove Old West to the nearby Golden Oak Winery vineyard to check the growth of grape seedlings before returning to Wonderland Farm with confidence.
Xia Ruofei stayed in Australia for another two days, made a special trip to Sydney to visit Tang Yitian's family, and guided Tang Haoran's cultivation by the way, and then returned to China by plane directly from Sydney.
After a long-distance flight of more than ten hours, Xia Ruofei dragged the boarding box out of Sanshan Airport.
As soon as he got out of the airport, Xia Ruofei was stunned for a moment, and he saw Ye Lingyun, who came to pick up the plane, and Feng Jing was still standing next to him.
"Chairman, it's been hard all the way!" Feng Jing said with a smile.
Xia Ruofei said: "Mr. Feng, why are you here in person? It's so grand, what's the matter?"
"Of course it's a good thing!" Feng Jing said with a smile, "Let's go, let's talk in the car!"
The group of three went to the parking lot and got into the car, Xia Ruofei asked, "What the hell is the matter? I also let you pick up the airport in person, as if I am enjoying such treatment for the first time in the world, right?"
Feng Jing said happily: "Chairman, the second round of sales of our jade skin cream has just ended, and the situation is quite good!"
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Just for this, you call me and tell me, or wait for me to return to the company and say no?"
"It's not important?" Feng Jing glanced at Xia Ruofei with disgust and said, "As with our previous judgment, after almost half a month of brewing, the public opinion trend of jade skin cream has not declined, but has shown an upward trend, because the first batch of users who have purchased it have started to use it one after another, and the magical effect of jade skin cream has come out, and the amount of discussion on the Internet has gone up all of a sudden!"
Feng Jing was very excited, she continued: "Except for a few Internet trolls of unknown origin, positive reviews account for the vast majority, and many forum hot posts, Weibo big V have posted evaluation articles, among which there should be many professionals!
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "This is all what we expected!"
"Then guess how much time it took us to sell out in this round of sales? Feng Jing looked at Xia Ruofei and asked with a smile.
"Last start...... I remember it was about two minutes, right?" Xia Ruofei scratched his head and said, "Since you asked me so, it must be faster...... This time...... A minute and a half?"
Feng Jing smiled and said, "Don't guess! You must not guess correctly! Let me tell you, it's 59 seconds! In less than a minute, all the inventory was sold out!"
"Wow, these consumers are crazy enough! Our products don't sell cheaply!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
"What's not cheap? 588 a bottle, that is, the price of mid-to-high-end cosmetics, and our portion is still so much, this international brand is simply the price of cabbage!" Feng Jing said, "But when it comes to the effect, those cosmetics that cost thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan are not even worthy of the jade skin cream shoes for us!"
"Domineering!" Xia Ruofei smiled and gave Feng Jing a thumbs up.
Feng Jing smiled a little embarrassedly, and continued: "Chairman, don't you know, as soon as the sales time comes, the order volume in the background will soar like a rocket, and I am even worried that the server of the platform will not be able to stand it......"
"You're thinking too much, people process millions of orders in one second during Double Eleven, and there are no major problems!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "More than 100 billion transactions a day, such a large number of visits is fine, our level of data volume, drizzle......"
Feng Jing pursed her lips and smiled: "You're right, although I've been following up the whole process, it's still a bit like a dream, 100 million yuan in a minute!
Xia Ruofei said: "Don't say this outside...... We're at a high cost!"
Xia Ruofei winked at Feng Jing after speaking, and Feng Jing couldn't help but giggle.
Then, Feng Jing said with a straight face: "Chairman, I have something to report to you......
"You say......" Xia Ruofei rubbed his eyes - after sitting on the plane for more than ten hours, he also felt a little tired mentally, so he leaned back on the seat and closed his eyes to recuperate.
Feng Jing said: "Recently, I have been looking for a suitable building in the city......
Xia Ruofei opened his eyes suddenly, and said with a smile: "I said why did you come to pick up the plane in person today!
Xia Ruofei knew about the company's headquarters building, and Feng Jing wanted to speed up the process, after all, it was more convenient to work in Taoyuan Farm in the early stage, but with the development and growth of the company, it was not suitable for the company's headquarters to be in a suburban farm.
Xia Ruofei has actually realized this, but he has never been able to take the time to do this.
Feng Jing smiled a little embarrassedly, then nodded.
Xia Ruofei said: "Let's talk about it! What have you gained recently!"
"That's right...... I found a property that I felt was suitable in every way. Feng Jing straightened out her thoughts and said, "This property is located on Xishan Road in Zhonglou District, and the location is relatively good......
Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "You can directly introduce me to the situation of this property!"
"Okay, Chairman. Feng Jing nodded and said, "This is an office building, called Hengli Building, which was jointly developed by the Provincial Power Construction Group and a real estate company. ”
Xia Ruofei frowned slightly and said, "State-owned enterprises?"
"Yes!" Feng Jing said, "At that time, it was the power construction group out of the land, Bojun real estate paid to build this building, a total of fifteen floors, 1 to 9 floors owned by Bojun real estate, 10 to 15 floors owned by the power construction group, now ready to sell is the part of the power construction group with property rights, 10 to 15 floors!"
Xia Ruofei pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "This kind of joint development is also common, but under normal circumstances, there should be a preferential acquisition clause in their contract!"
Feng Jing smiled and said: "I have understood, there is indeed a preferential acquisition clause in the contract, but in the past two years, Bojun Real Estate has not operated well, and there has been a little problem in the capital chain, and there is no ability to eat this part of the industry, they have already declared that they have given up the right of first refusal, so the current situation is that the 10 to 15 layers of the property will be sold publicly, and the competent unit is the Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission!"
"What about the price?" Xia Ruofei asked.
Feng Jing obviously did her homework, she said without thinking: "As far as I know, the SASAC initially wanted to use the auction method, but there were not many companies that responded, so I changed to the inquiry mode, and I specially organized a team to analyze, if we offer 30,000 square meters, we should be able to successfully win." ”
Immediately afterwards, before Xia Ruofei could ask, Feng Jing threw out another set of data: "The office area of each floor of Hengli Building is about 1,500 square meters, and the power construction company has a total of 6 floors, with a total area of about 9,000 square meters, in this way, the total price is about 270 million!" Our company's current working capital is about 150 million, and the subsequent sales of Jade Skin Cream can also bring a lot of cash flow, as long as we ask for an installment payment when we negotiate the purchase, and pay it off within one or two years, even if we don't apply for a bank loan, we are fully capable of eating it!"
The more Feng Jing spoke, the more excited she became, she turned her head to look at Xia Ruofei and said, "Chairman, I personally think this is a very good opportunity!"
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Oh, Mr. Feng must be so optimistic about this industry, there must be a good reason, you can talk about it! If you can convince me, I will definitely fully support your acquisition! Don't worry about capital!"
Feng Jing nodded heavily and said: "Chairman, first of all, this is a ready-made building, which was originally an office building, and we can put it into use immediately after a simple renovation and decoration, and the relocation of our company's headquarters is already something that has to be done, in this way, direct purchase is obviously much faster than taking a transfer of land and then building it!"
Xia Ruofei nodded, but did not speak.
So Feng Jing continued: "The second reason, the industry of the power construction company is located on the 10th to 15th floors of the building, which is obviously better than the bottom 9 floors, and externally, Hengli Building is located in the center of Sanshan City, Zhonglou District Xishan Road, where is the CBD area, there are many nearby office buildings, there is an industry here, even if it is only a small half building, it is also a great improvement for our company's image!"
"Hmm!" Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "There is a third point?"
"Of course!" Feng Jing smiled and said, "Third, if we buy it, we will become one of the owners of the two sides of Hengli Building, and the owners of the 1st to 9th floors, Bojun Real Estate, as I said just now, they have been operating poorly in the past two years, and the capital chain is on the verge of breaking, and they may have to deal with some industries to cash out in the future, that is to say, ......"
Xia Ruofei took Feng Jing's words and said: "That is to say, if we buy that part of the property of Hengli Building Electric Power Construction Company, it is very likely that the remaining 1 to 9 floors will be acquired from Bojun Real Estate in the future, and then the entire building will belong to our company!"
Feng Jing said excitedly: "Yes, according to our analysis, this possibility is still very large, and the situation of Bojun Real Estate is not very good." ”
Then, Feng Jing said: "Chairman, in this way, we have a great possibility to have a building independently, and then it will not be called Hengli Building, it should be called Taoyuan Building!"
Xia Ruofei pondered for a while, nodded and said, "Well, that's the case...... In the future, our company will continue to grow and develop, and the place will be completely sufficient. Mr. 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 succinctly.
Feng Jing was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, overjoyed in her heart, 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 with it, of course I agree!"
When Xia Ruofei said this, he looked at Feng Jing with a strange expression and said, "Mr. Feng, don't you think I have a negative attitude towards the relocation of the headquarters?"
Feng Jing muttered in her heart: "You are quite negative, but it seems that I misunderstood, you are not unwilling to spend money to relocate the headquarters at all, but ...... It's just lazy!"
Although she was complaining in her heart, she was still merciful for the sake of Xia Ruofei having agreed to her plan to start the acquisition of Hengli Building.
She smiled and said, "No, no...... In the past, we didn't have enough funds, and even if we had ideas, it was difficult to implement them! The whole company is yours, how can you have a negative attitude?"
Xia Ruofei glanced at Feng Jing and said with a smile: "It seems that the hot sales of jade skin cream have boosted Mr. Feng's confidence! You are eager to try two or three hundred million acquisitions, which you couldn't have imagined before!"
