【Chapter 690】 Complete the Acquisition (Ask for Subscription!)
The surprise of the 'Nini' at Los Angeles International Airport has caused domestic media and fans to spontaneously discuss Xiao Feng's whereabouts, but this is limited to discussion.
According to the official response given by the 'Jinghu Group', Chairman Xiao Feng and Executive President Xu Mengyao went to the United States for a vacation, nothing more.
And because Xiao Feng didn't release too much information on the scarf, people actually didn't know that Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao went to the United States to invest, and the two of them were not so well-known in the United States, and no passers-by would publish their whereabouts on the Internet.
As a result, Xiao Feng and his team were able to conduct a comprehensive survey of the ranch for sale in the area around Helena, and the itinerary was full.
Reindeer Ranch, Black Pine Forest Ranch and Salmon Ranch are the three large ranches that Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao focused on, all of which are located at the junction of Helena Suburb and Yellowstone National Park, with vast fields and forests, abundant water and good transportation systems.
When the 'Jinghu Ranch' was first developed, Xiao Feng and Ma Wanli really created a miracle in the middle of the barrenness, 'the world's best milk source' and 'the world's top beef cattle ranch', these titles are the biggest praise for Xiao Feng and Ma Wanli.
Today, although there is a certain gap between these American ranches and the 'Mirror Lake Ranch', they are much better than the original wasteland, so Xiao Feng and Ma Wanli are still full of hope for the future of these ranches.
Xiao Feng hopes to take these ranches and form a super ranch with a total area of more than 100,000 acres. Let it become an important support point for the development of 'Jinghu Group' in the United States!
Xiao Feng is a person who is very afraid of trouble, which can be seen from the business strategy of 'Jinghu Group'.
The fast-rising 'Jinghu Group' has received enough attention and policy support from the provincial party committee and the provincial government of southern Yunnan and even the central government.
However, Xiao Feng still resisted all kinds of temptations, adhered to the development strategy of 'Jinghu Group' agriculture and animal husbandry, and now has flown all the way to the United States. Find the right investment!
After spending a few days in Helena, Xiao Feng and others have traveled to more than a dozen large and small pastures for sale in the vicinity, and have enough understanding of the development of the agricultural and animal husbandry industry near Montana, and the investment plan has entered a critical stage.
This time, Xiao Feng did not intend to make a small fuss, but hoped that the acquisition of Guò would turn an area of more than 100,000 acres into a huge ranch, which undoubtedly increased the difficulty of negotiations.
You know, there are still some small farms between the three large ranches, and it is not easy to complete this acquisition.
Xiao Feng is self-aware. I knew that I was not proficient in business negotiations, especially in the business environment of the United States, so I handed over the leadership of the negotiation to my wife. He himself worked with Ma Wanli to provide the most professional situation analysis to the negotiation team from the specific situation of each ranch, so as to facilitate the pricing.
Xu Mengyao graduated from Harvard Business School, and it is naturally more than enough to serve as a business negotiation at this level. What's more, she is the boss lady, and her reserve price and control over the entire negotiation exceed that of ordinary negotiators. The aura in the negotiation process is naturally impressive.
According to the private discussion of the negotiators on the American side, their sharp words and dominance of Xu Mengyao's negotiation direction are almost perfect!
…………
After the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States, not only the financial tycoons had a hard time, but also the ordinary ranchers of the American agriculture and animal husbandry industry also felt the tremendous pressure.
Since the pricing power of agricultural and animal husbandry commodities in the United States is in the hands of Wall Street, the economic downturn and the intensification of competition from foreign products are in the background. Even with the financial subsidies of the American government, the pressure on farmers and ranchers is enormous.
In the face of the tempting offer of the 'Jinghu Group', the small ranches and family ranches between the three major ranches did not have much resistance, and soon signed an agreement with the 'Jinghu Group'.
Of course, these transfer agreements will not be effective until the negotiations between Xiao Feng and the three major ranches are concluded. And you have to get permission from the U.S. government and the Montana government to have legal efficiency!
Now, the difficulty lies in the negotiations between the 'Jinghu Group' and the three major ranches, and if the owners of the three ranches agree to sell the ranches, this merger involving more than hundreds of millions of dollars will be realized, otherwise there will be a huge regret!
The original owners of the three ranches are all Wall Street financial tycoons or manufacturing tycoons in eastern America, and they don't pay much attention to ranches, and now they are just trying to cash out.
So, in a sense, these ranchers have a subjective motivation to sell their ranch!
The main reason why Xiao Feng chose these ranches is also because of this, because these rich people regard ranches more as an asset than their own business!
As a qualified rancher, Xiao Feng himself has an extremely deep affection for 'Jinghu Ranch', so he is definitely not willing to transfer 'Jinghu Ranch' to others. However, considering Huaxia's land policy, once the Xu family loses ground at the top of Huaxia, the impact on 'Jinghu Ranch' is too great.
Therefore, choosing to build a new large-scale ranch in the United States, where the land is privately owned, and it completely belongs to the Xiao family's inheritance has become Xiao Feng's best choice.
Once the rancher does not have that deep affection for the ranch, the problems that can be solved with money are not a problem in Xiao Feng's opinion.
Of course, as some business negotiation skills, Xiao Feng's team intentionally or unintentionally revealed that they have a lot of goals in the United States, and it is not these three ranches that are indispensable!
Such news that is difficult to distinguish between true and false will always cause some trouble to the opponent, and the rich people who originally wanted to bite the high price did not insist too much in the end, and finally agreed to Xiao Feng's offer.
On February 8th, the behind-the-scenes bosses of the three ranches flew to Helena in person and signed a transfer agreement with Xiao Feng, and the negotiations that lasted for nearly 10 days finally came to an end!
Three large ranches with a total area of 130,000 acres, plus other sporadic ranches, have closed a deal of more than 150,000 acres of land, involving a whopping $200 million!
Of course, in Xu Mengyao's opinion, if she can grind for a few more days, she may be able to reduce it by about eight million dollars, but she needs to pay more energy.
For today's 'Jinghu Group', money is not the biggest problem, but time is the most urgent issue!
Now that it has entered February, the snow in Montana has begun to melt, Xiao Feng hopes to take over the ranch, start to integrate, and start to sow a large area of 'space pasture' in a suitable area, and strive to introduce breeding cattle in the summer, and start the development of 'Mirror Lake Ranch' in the United States!
Therefore, it is also worth spending a little more money to buy more time!
…………
Because these tycoons are low-key, Xiao Feng does not want his mergers and acquisitions and investments in the United States to make a fuss, so there were no media reporters at the signing ceremony.
However, the merger and acquisition of Helena by the 'Jinghu Group' involved more than 10 ranches in total, and the news of the super-rich in China buying and selling land in the United States is still spreading.
Over the years, with the continuous development of China's economy, it has become a trend for Huaxia tycoons to wave checks and acquire various industries around the world.
Perhaps it is the traditional attachment of China to the land, and the news of Chinese tycoons buying farms and pastures in the United States, Maple Leaf Country, Australia and other places is reported from time to time, and it is not uncommon for Chinese tycoons to acquire wine estates in France, Los Angeles and other places.
When most Americans hear this rumor, they just sigh that 'Chinese people are really rich', and for Americans, who claim to be the center of the world, this will not affect their lives!
Due to the principle of secrecy of the 'Jinghu Group', the outside world only knows that a wealthy Chinese man has acquired a super-large ranch with a total area of more than 150,000 acres in Montana, but they do not know the details of this rich man.
In the eyes of many Helena people, perhaps this rich man is just like the former Wall Street tycoons, who bought the ranch and put it there as a place for leisure and vacation, and did not really develop agriculture and animal husbandry.
The locals are disgusted by this situation, as these fun-loving ranchers have wiped out many jobs and plunged more Helena into a crisis of unemployment.
Therefore, after learning that all the ranches had been acquired, some citizens, ranchers and industrial workers spontaneously went to the gate of the reindeer ranch to protest, demanding that the new owners of the reindeer ranch provide more jobs for the citizens.
When Xiao Feng first heard about the protest, he was still a little nervous, but after Xu Mengyao's explanation, he was relieved.
"Assemblies and protests" are a part of American tradition and a part of American life, which embodies the principles of "freedom and equality" in the American Constitution and does not affect the parties in any way.
Therefore, the 'Mirror Lake Group' did not make any indications, and the protesters will slowly disperse afterwards.
After the agreement was signed, the deep-pocketed 'Jinghu Group' immediately transferred money to the original rancher through Guò JPMorgan Chase, which was neat.
In this way, the 'Jinghu Group' has quietly tripled the area of the pasture, and Xiao Feng is also rushing towards the goal of a super big landlord! (To be continued...... R1071
