Chapter 417: Wonderland Farm

The farm guard quickly removed the barricade, and the extended Bentley slowly drove into the range of Wonderland Farm.

What is introduced is an endless meadow, the green pasture swaying slightly under the breeze, against the blue sky and blossoming white clouds, it is refreshing.

This is a 6,000-hectare farm! Coupled with the undulating terrain, the margins are basically invisible to the naked eye.

The Bentley was driving in the picturesque farm, and Liang Qichao introduced: "If Fei, 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. There are artificial lakes and rivers running through it, with rich water sources and fertile land. 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 a building that looked very new, and Liang Qichao pointed to the building outside and said, "This is Grandpa Cousin's thoroughbred horse breeding base, covering an area of ​​about 150 hectares, with a special grass track that can be fully irrigated. 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's favorite!"

Tang He couldn't help laughing when he heard the words. His eyes turned to the thoroughbred horse base outside, and he was also full of pride.

Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded. He understood this situation. When the contract was signed, Tang He specifically proposed to separate this thoroughbred horse breeding base, including all the facilities and the ownership of horse racing in it. It is my own, and the operation and management of the thoroughbred breeding base is also decided by Tang He alone, and it is not changed due to the change of farm equity.

"When I have time, I will definitely come and take a good look!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "I heard that there are several world-class racing horses in the name of Mr. Tang."

"Haha! Then you are here! The Fiot I bought this year is now living and training in this thoroughbred breeding base!" Tang He raised his head and laughed.

Tang He loves food and horse racing. He has collected a lot of top racing horses in the world. The horses under his name often win gold and silver in major races around the world, which has earned him a lot of honors.

The car continued to move forward,

Soon a small farmhouse on the edge of an artificial lake came into view.

Liang Qichao said with a smile: "Ruofei, in addition to the thoroughbred horse breeding base, our farm also has a farm, including a small villa, a warehouse, a veterinary station and 10 ordinary houses. In addition, we also have a complete feeding system. Facilities such as material sheds, helipads, isolation stables, etc. can be said to be very modern."

This farm is the end of the trip, and the car stopped in front of a small and exquisite villa.

The group got off the car and Xia Ruofei took a deep breath. The air in the Hunter Valley was filled with a unique fragrance of grapes - this is the most famous wine producing area in Australia.

The artificial lake next to it is sparkling, and there are a few swans cruising in the water. From time to time, birds cross the water surface, leaving ripples. In the distance is the lush green pasture. The sunshine in the afternoon is just right, which makes people feel a little lazy. a feeling of.

This is definitely a great place for a relaxing 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 think so! But this is not realistic at all, at least in the short term, the focus of business must be in China..."

Liang Qichao shrugged and said, "Then there is no way! But you are also the boss of the fairyland farm now. You can come over anytime you want to relax. Although there are not many rooms on the farm, you can bring three or five girls with you. You can still live there!”

Tang He couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, and joked: "Brother Xia, I think you can consider Qi Chao's suggestion! Tell me in advance when you want to come over, and I will transfer your private jet to fly from Huaxia. It only takes eight or nine hours to come here, 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 raised his head and laughed.

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

Although it is only a small villa, it also has 10 bedrooms and all kinds of facilities.

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 in a tourist resort such as the Hunter Valley. It can basically solve all problems within 20 kilometers. needs of life.

Moreover, modern facilities such as telephone and Internet are all in short supply on the farm.

You must know that some upstarts in China blindly invest in Australian farms when they see that Australian farms are cheap, and only regret after buying them - some farms do not even have water rights certificates, and cannot use agricultural watering within the rated life; some farms are legally allowed to carry livestock. The amount is extremely low, and there is a vast area but can’t raise a few livestock. If you raise more animals than you can, you will be punished for animal cruelty. Some farms are located in remote areas, and you have to drive to the nearest town. Two or three hours, it can be said to be completely isolated from the world...

In contrast, the conditions at Wonderland Farm are simply not very good.

Of course, its price is also much more expensive. The price of more than 40 million Australian dollars for an area of ​​6,000 hectares will make many buyers daunted.

This small villa on the farm was left by the previous farmer. It has a history of several decades, but the maintenance is in place. Although the appearance looks a bit old, it is actually very comfortable to use.

On the first floor of the villa facing the artificial lake, there is a huge glass bay window. Next to the bay window is a small reception area. Guests can sit in this super-lighting area and enjoy tea while enjoying the invincible landscape.

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

Xia Ruofei took a sip of the hot tea, and then asked: "Brother Liang, our farm is so big, there should be a lot of workers, right? You are a manager here, and you are also managing a large number of people..."

Liang Qichao said with a smile: "You guessed it wrong... The entire Wonderland Farm, including me, has only eleven employees, four of whom are from the thoroughbred horse breeding base, and only seven of them actually work on the farm. personal……"

"Huh..." Xia Ruofei couldn't help but exclaimed.

"In fact, it's not surprising. The farm is highly modernized, and the labor cost here in Australia is very expensive, so we are careful when it comes to hiring workers." Liang Qichao said with a smile, "At present, the manpower is just right. However, 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 smiled and asked: "Brother Xia, you just took a general look at the conditions of the farm. Do you have any ideas for the next step in the adjustment of our farm's operations?"

In fact, Xia Ruofei was already thinking about this problem on the way here, so he said after a little pondering: "Mr. Tang, Brother Liang, the purpose of our cooperation at the beginning was to introduce high-quality Taoyuan vegetables to the fairyland farm, so let's go. There is no doubt about the further development of vegetable cultivation.”

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

After taking a sip of tea, Xia Ruofei continued: "Whether Taoyuan vegetables can be successfully planted, and whether they can be sold in the Australian market after production, I think we need to explore these step by step in actual work, so my opinion is to first Small-scale planting, preferably within 500 hectares, while testing the planting, is also testing the response of the Australian market. If everything is as we expected, then after half a year to one year, we can start to expand the scale, or even slowly. Slowly shift the focus of operations from animal husbandry to farming."

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

Liang Qichao also said: "Regarding vegetable cultivation, I also conducted some market research after I arrived in Australia. The intake of vegetables in Australia is generally insufficient, which means that in general, Australians do not like eating vegetables very much. Disadvantages; as for the advantages, that is, the common vegetables in the Australian market are actually similar to those in China, and there are more types, that is to say, the common vegetables such as mature tomatoes, cabbage, spinach, and onions developed in China can be directly Trial planting on our farm!"

Tang He glanced at Liang Qichao admiringly, and was obviously very satisfied that Liang Qichao entered the role so quickly.

At the beginning, his original intention was to let Liang Qichao and Liang Xiaojun work together at Shengbang in the United States, which was a bit like letting the two fight in the ring.

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

But in terms of the level of importance, Tang He obviously values ​​Liang Xiaojun, who has been trained in Shengbang in the United States. After all, Australia is just a farm, and the layout is still too small.

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

Xia Ruofei smiled and said: "Australians don't like to eat vegetables, that's because their local 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 Australia People's diet will change because of our market behavior!"

Xia Ruofei's words were full of confidence, but Tang He and Liang Qichao, who had personally tasted Taoyuan vegetables, felt a bit taken for granted, and did not think it was a big talk.

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

Tang He was also most concerned about this issue, so he immediately asked: "Brother Xia, now it seems that the key is to successfully grow Taoyuan vegetables of no lower quality than domestic ones in Australia! Do you have any thoughts on this? "

Xia Ruofei said: "Mr. Tang, I have been thinking about this issue for a long time, and I think the best solution is to import vegetable seeds to Taoyuan Company in the name of Xianjing Farm. Our Taoyuan vegetables are improved varieties, and currently only our Taoyuan Company has this option. With technology, in theory, as long as there are high-quality seeds, peach source vegetables can be grown! Of course, whether these seeds can adapt to the soil and water in Australia remains to be tested in practice.”

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

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

Xia Ruofei said: "Mr. Tang, I have to explain something to you in advance. Our current research shows that when the seeds of Taoyuan vegetables are in the second generation, the genetic traits will disappear, which means that the fairyland farm will not be able to be autonomous at that time. For breeding, we can only continue to import seeds from Taoyuan Company..."

Tang He couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard the words, which means that he has no autonomy at all! But he thought about it, the major shareholder of this fairyland farm is Xia Ruofei himself, and his share is not as high as Xia Ruofei! So the issue of risk is basically negligible.

Xia Ruofei seemed to have guessed Tang He's thoughts and said with a smile: "Mr. Tang, Xianjing Farm can sign a supply contract with Taoyuan Company, Taoyuan Company guarantees sufficient seed supply, and guarantees exclusive supply to Xianjing Farm within Australia, No longer seeking other partners, this way, with a formal contract, the interests of both parties can be guaranteed..."

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

"No, no, we can negotiate the price of the seeds, and the technology transfer fee is not necessary." Xia Ruofei said, "When I bought the shares, my technology was already valued at five million US dollars, and Fairyland Farm can use this technology for free. "

Tang He smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Xia, in the long run, the profits from this technology are far more than five million dollars! I'm taking advantage of you again..."

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

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, asking for 30%, 40% or even 50% pure Profits are the same, there will be a lot of people rushing to cooperate.

Taoyuan Vegetables is definitely a phenomenal product, 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 petty profits in front of me."

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 said!"

"Qi Chao, you should go through the relevant procedures for seed import immediately." Tang He turned his head and said to Liang Qichao, "You have to keep an eye on the seed introduction and trial planting. This is the top priority of Xianjing Farm!"

"Yes!" Liang Qichao said sternly.

After talking about business, the group took the farm's open-top off-road vehicle for a circle around the farm. Xia Ruofei once again intuitively appreciated the vastness of the fairyland farm - even if the domestic Taoyuan farm is expanded again, it is completely impossible. Compare with it.

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

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

Tang He accompanied Xia Ruofei to stay at the farm for half a day, and at the end of the evening, he left the farm with his bodyguards and assistants and returned to Sydney. He took a private jet back to the United States that night.

He just came to accompany Xia Ruofei this time, otherwise he wouldn't need to be there in person.

Just to accompany Xia Ruofei to inspect the farm, he wasted a whole day, which also shows how much Tang He attaches 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. At the same time, he also said that after he returned to the United States, he would let the plane return to Sydney Airport on standby for Xia Ruofei to use when he returned to China.

Xia Ruofei felt a little flattered, and Tang He still insisted after declining several times, so he had to go.

Watching Tang He's car drifting away in the sunset, and finally disappearing from sight, Liang Qichao said with a smile: "If Fei, I will arrange the next few days, I will show you a good taste of Australia. The style! Especially the style of Australian girls, hahaha..."
