As soon as Xia Ruofei said this, the old West couple and Lin Qiao were stunned, and the expressions of the three of them were synchronized, their eyes widened and their mouths were slightly open, looking extremely surprised. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Old West soon came to his senses, and he remembered that the young Chinese neighbor was the owner of the vast farm next door, and that the Chinese had become richer and richer over the years, and often bought property all over the world.

There are also many Chinese in Australia, who wave checkbooks to buy farms and wineries, and spend money without blinking.

Although the history of Western Winery is 150 years, it does not cover a very large area, and its value is not half as good as that of the 6,000-hectare Wonderland Farm.

Since this young Chinese tycoon can afford to buy a fairyland farm, the money to buy such a small winery must not be a problem.

Thinking of this, Old West's mind also came alive.

However, after he looked at Cabelli, he still said seriously: "Xia, buying a winery is not a trivial matter, and I hope it is not an impulsive decision. ”

Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Of course not, my money is not blown by the wind." ”

"But you haven't even inspected our winery......"

"The last time I was in Australia, the fieldwork was done. Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "The inspection of the winery's products has been going on since I returned to China! As you just heard, my sister is also impressed by the Semillon of the West Winery. ”

Xia Ruofei was talking about the last time he visited the West Winery.

Of course, a visit to the winery is just a sight to behold, but the 100-year history of Château West, and its fame in the Hunter Valley region, are not to be fooled.

As for the valuation of the winery, even if Xia Ruofei looked at it ten times, he could not have an accurate judgment, in fact, when making acquisitions, he used the valuation report given by a third-party appraisal agency as a reference.

In most cases, the reports issued by such appraisal agencies are objective and fair, and they will not overestimate them -- otherwise, they will ruin their own jobs.

The West Winery is ready to be sold, and a third party has also been entrusted to conduct a value appraisal, and Xia Ruofei only needs to use the appraisal report as a reference.

Of course, formal overseas M&A is far more complicated than that, and you need to consider the return on investment, market positioning, sales channels, management model, and so on.

Once the acquisition is confirmed, at least a transaction team consisting of banking, accounting, lawyers, market analysts, and a bilingual overseas professional services team will be formed.

But what Xia Ruofei needs to consider is not so complicated, because no matter how meticulous the calculation is, whether the winery can make a profit in the end depends on the product.

And Xia Ruofei has an anti-heaven artifact like the Spirit Map Space, and the product has an incomparable advantage, so other details naturally don't need to be too careful.

In fact, Xia Ruofei was not on a whim, he originally planned to buy a vineyard, especially after the last Semillon was bought back to China, almost everyone who drank it was full of praise, Xia Ruofei was interested in getting involved in this industry at that time.

Château Weste is a very suitable acquisition.

It's just that this winery is a family winery, which has been inherited for more than 100 years, and it is impossible for people to sell it under normal circumstances, so when Xia Ruofei heard Liang Qichao say that Old West was in a hurry to sell the winery to pay off his debts, he had already started thinking about it.

Of course, if he did buy the winery, he would definitely have to "improve" the grape varieties in the vineyard.

Old West asked with some excitement, "Xia, are you sure you are serious?"

"Pretty sure, Uncle Carter. Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "If you can agree to one condition for me, I think we can talk about the specific details of the acquisition." ”

"What conditions?" asked Old West, who was finally a little moved.

Xia Ruofei looked at the old West couple and said seriously: "My condition is that I hope you can continue to stay in the winery and be responsible for the management and operation of the winery, of course, I will leave you time to deal with the finishing work of Melbourne." ”

Xia Ruofei specifically inquired about this just now, just to confirm whether the old West couple wanted to work hard to revive the Melbourne company after selling the winery, or simply end the business there.

He needed someone to help him manage the winery, and it was clear that Mr. and Mrs. West Sr. were the right people.

Most importantly, the couple has a special affection for Château West, and Xia Ruofei believes that they should be the most suitable winery managers.

So he confirmed that the old West had no intention of continuing to run the Melbourne company, and then proposed to buy it.

Old West and Cabelli glanced at each other and asked excitedly, "Xia, are you saying that we can continue to stay at the West Winery in the future?"

Xia Ruofei shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "It's not that you can, but you have to." Of course, I'll pay you according to the market. ”

Old West didn't hesitate any longer, and immediately said, "Agreed! Xia, your conditions are so generous that I can't refuse." ”

Aunt Cabelli also said happily: "Xia, the most difficult thing for Carter to accept is that he has to leave here after selling the winery, and if he can continue to stay and work, even if he doesn't want to be paid, he will be willing." ”

Old West couldn't help but laugh.

Xia Ruofei said: "Uncle Carter, let's talk about the specific details of the acquisition!"

"All right!" said Old West, who stood up at once, "I'll go get the valuation report for our winery." ”

Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Okay, I'll also make a call and ask Brother Liang to arrange a property rights lawyer for me." ”

Naturally, the lawyer is responsible for the legal affairs of the entire acquisition process, including the preparation of the acquisition documents and the resolution of possible legal disputes in the acquisition process.

Old West saw that Xia Ruofei was going to follow up with a lawyer, and he also knew that Xia Ruofei was indeed serious, and his face was also full of joy, and even his steps were much brisker.

When Old West went to get the valuation report, Xia Ruofei called Liang Qichao.

On the phone, Xia Ruofei told Liang Qichao that he was going to buy West Winery, and asked him to help find a qualified property lawyer, the sooner the better.

After Liang Qichao heard this, he was so surprised that he couldn't speak for a long time.

After a while, he muttered, "Ruofei, the transaction of West Winery involves at least tens of millions of Huaxia coin......s, right?" You went out for a walk, and in less than fifteen minutes, you talked about tens of millions of business?"

Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "West Winery is indeed good! Uncle Carter intends to sell, and I intend to buy, isn't it a matter of hitting it off?"

Liang Qichao said: "Okay! You have money, you can be willful......"

Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Hurry up and help me contact a lawyer! When can I get to the winery at the earliest?"

Liang Qichao immediately said: "In the past two years, many Chinese have come to buy wineries and farms in Australia, so there is such a law firm here in Hunter Valley, and I can contact it immediately!

Xia Ruofei said: "No, I'm not going to apply for a loan. ”

Liang Qichao was hit a little again and said, "Okay...... I'll get you in touch right away. ”

Liang Qichao's efficiency was very high, and in about half an hour or so, he came to the West Winery with a tall and thin white man.

This white man is the lawyer Heint that Liang Qichao found in the Hunter Valley, the lawyer Heint is well-known in the Hunter Valley, and is a full-time merger and acquisition legal service flying property lawyer, Liang Qichao met him at a community event in the Hunter Valley, so he directly asked him to help this time.

Xia Ruofei was flipping through the winery valuation report provided by Old West.

It was still a little difficult for him to read the report in pure English - he had not gone to university, and after joining the army, he had learned some common English for the sake of his work, and could only communicate in simple oral English.

Xia Ruofei's English level has really improved after obtaining the spiritual map space, to be precise, after his mental power has become stronger and stronger, and his memory and comprehension have also been greatly improved, so he can quickly learn and master Chinese medicine knowledge and English in his spare time.

This is also Xia Ruofei's conscious improvement of his ability, because he knows that English will definitely be a necessary skill for the company to go international in the future.

However, it is still relatively difficult for Xia Ruofei to read such a professional text as the winery valuation report.

After Liang Qichao arrived, he introduced Lawyer Heint to Old West and Xia Ruofei.

Heynt is still quite famous in the Hunter Valley area, and Old West has obviously heard his name, so he said with a smile: "With Mr. Heynt here, I don't think there will be any loopholes in the merger and acquisition documents......"

Xia Ruofei first signed a power of attorney entrusting Hinter lawyers to act as the sole agent for the legal business in this merger and acquisition, and then Hinter quickly entered the working state.

After carefully reading the valuation report, he said to Xia Ruofei: "Mr. Xia, Western Winery has ten hectares of vineyards and more than 20,000 wines of different vintages, plus assets such as the annex buildings of the winery, I preliminarily judge that this valuation report is objective and fair, and can be used as a reference for your price negotiation." ”

Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded, and then said to Old West: "Uncle Carter, then we can talk about the price." ”

Old West said without thinking: "Xia, you already know our position just now, as long as your bid is higher than 1.8 million Australian dollars, this winery belongs to you!"

Xia Ruofei smiled and stretched out his index finger and shook it and said, "No!no!no! Uncle Carter, the price of 1.8 million Australian dollars is a little unreasonable......"
