【Chapter 884】 Miracle Farm (Subscription Requested!)

April was spent in a dull and uneventful manner, and the construction of both the 'Dream Ranch' and the 'Dream Scenic Area' seemed to be calm and orderly, and did not attract much attention from the outside world.

In the spring, a black lightning bolt became one of the most beautiful sights in the United States, and even the NCAA Final Four was overshadowed by it, and it was full of coverage from the sports media to the social section.

Since winning his first Group 3 event in Austin in March, Black Miracle has been unstoppable and has been on the road from Group 3, Group 2 to Group 1.

Today, Black Miracle has won eight races, including two Group 1 titles, making it the favourite in all three majors.

Now that the major bookmakers have lowered the odds of Black Miracle to win the Triple Crown, it is clear that the professionals believe that Black Miracle will have the potential to break the 36-year history of no horse winning the Treble.

The legendary childhood experience of 'Black Miracle' and the fact that its owner is a super-rich man from China has allowed the media to find more news material. Especially in March, Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao frequently appeared in the upper class of Europe and the United States, whether it was a large purchase in Hollywood or the real money paid for private jets and yachts in Europe, it was all talked about.

Xu Mengyao's family background is also the focus of the American media, after all, the red elites from the Red Empire have a great attraction to American audiences and readers.

Under the hype of the media, Xiao Feng and his wife, like the 'Black Miracle', have become household names in the United States, thanks to their frequent appearances in front of the media, many American people can still recognize the two of them.

Right now. Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao went shopping at Helena's Walmart, and often met some curious audiences, and even some American fans would come up to ask for photos and autographs, etc., which surprised Xiao Feng, who was already accustomed to enjoying star treatment in China.

Now, all eyes on the United States are focused on the upcoming American Trix in May, whether the 'Black Miracle' breaks the 36-year record or whether other horses stand out. We won't know until the day of the race!

…………

In addition to the 'Black Miracle' shining in the United States, the mysterious buyer's purchase of more than 2,000 acres of super vineyards in Napa Valley has also attracted a lot of media interest.

However, because both parties to the transaction are very jealous of this, even the powerful American media cannot know the true identity of the buyer, only the suspected 'Huaxia consortium'.

No one expected that it would be the 'Mirror Lake Group' that entered the Napa Valley winery field in a big way, because the 'Xiao Clan' performed quite well in the market, and the 'Mirror Lake Group' did not need to spend a lot of money to buy a winery in Napa Valley.

Not to mention. Another big move in April was the purchase of a fully irrigated farm with a total area of more than 30,000 acres in the San Francisco Bay Area, announcing its entry into the organic vegetable and fruit industry in the United States!

The farm originally belonged to 18 families and consortia and was divided into 22 small farms, but the 'Mirror Lake Group' offered an 'irresistibly high price' and eventually became the new owner of the newly named 'Miracle Farm'. On the logo of the farm, the 'Black Miracle' is the most dazzling element like lightning.

The 'Jinghu Group's large-scale purchase of real estate in the United States has attracted the attention of the media, and some media that are not very friendly to China have even shouted the slogan of 'wolf is coming'.

Don't think that the United States is the most open country, but conservative forces are the most distinctive feature of this country. They are naturally hostile to China and other countries. Especially in the past few years, China's economy has continued to develop rapidly. The 'China Threat Theory' has become more marketable, and the total investment of the 'Jinghu Group' in the United States has exceeded $8 billion, which makes the old Americans envious and more worried.

As a result, some extreme media outlets have questioned how the U.S. government and local governments could approve these deals. Will we hand over the lifeblood of high-end ingredients to 'Chinese people' in the future?

However, in the face of this kind of media questioning, neither the official nor the 'Jinghu Group' made any response, and it seemed strangely calm.

…………

Under the disturbance of the outside world, Xiao Qiang and his team were not affected in any way. After clarifying the affairs of the 'Xiao's No. 2' winery, they quickly put into the construction of the 'Miracle Farm'.

In view of the good market prospects of 'organic vegetables' in the United States, Xiao Feng decided to enter the United States in a big way and build organic farms locally.

This time, the total investment of 'Miracle Farm' will reach a staggering 600 million US dollars, which is close to 4 billion RMB, which is quite large.

If it weren't for the fact that the 'Mirror Lake Group' had enough connections and strong support in the upper echelons of the Republic, it would have been a bit difficult to do so much foreign exchange.

In fact, with the continuous recession of the US economy in recent years, the purchasing power of the US dollar has gradually declined, and the credit rating of the US government has been continuously downgraded.

Now, the 'Jinghu Group', including the Xiao family's overseas purchases of property and top-of-the-line luxury goods, can naturally allow the Chinese government to reduce some US dollar foreign exchange, further balance the foreign exchange structure, and enhance its ability to resist risks.

In the past two years, China's economic development has also encountered a bottleneck, and the Chinese government has also consciously guided capable enterprises to 'go global' and participate in international competition, while also actively exploring new profit growth points.

For example, Lin Jian's Qianxin Group was allowed to enter the commercial real estate markets in England and the United States, and was able to buy the British luxury yacht brand Sunseeker International, which is inseparable from the support of the Chinese government.

This time, although the Huaxia official did not come forward much, the support of the Huaxia Central Bank behind the series of overseas acquisitions of the 'Jinghu Group' was obvious. After all, the annual export value of the 'Jinghu Group' is only about 500 million US dollars, and it is impossible to support such a large cash acquisition plan on its own.

In fact, the American government is well aware of this. However, compared with other industries related to the national economy, people's livelihood and national security, the high-end food industry will not shake the foundation of the United States, and will not be forcibly blocked, so as not to have a negative impact on the relationship between the two countries.

In this way, under the tacit understanding of the high-level leaders of the two countries, the various acquisitions of the 'Jinghu Group' in the United States will be so smooth. Otherwise, the so-called 'security assessment' alone could lead to the death of all these transactions."

…………

When Xiao Feng arrived at the 'Miracle Farm', the reconstruction of the entire farm was in full swing, and the farm was only 50 miles away from San Francisco in a straight line, with excellent views of the mountains and the sea!

This time, the clansmen of Xiao Duliang's lineage have also joined the management and technical aspects of the 'Miracle Farm', and are further tied to the interests of the 'Jinghu Group'.

Grandma Alice's family is a well-known local lawyer family in San Francisco, and has been quite famous in San Francisco since the development of the American West. Today, although the Duncan family is not visible in San Francisco, it has extremely deep connections and influence in the local government, conglomerates and high society.

This time. The Duncan family sent the third generation of the family's elite, Alice's grandnephew Harry Duncan, to participate in the full acquisition of the 'Miracle Farm' and the 'Xiao No. 2' winery, and played a very important role in it.

To this end, the Duncan family's law firm has also successfully become a partner of the 'Mirror Lake Group' in the United States, and it will work with Morgan Smith & Associates to undertake various legal matters of the 'Mirror Lake Group' in the United States.

Moreover, because of the relationship between the Duncan family and the Xiao family, it is predictable. They will get more tilt in their cooperation, after all, Morgan Smith is just an outsider.

This summer. Xiao Shaoyao, who has been working in an accounting firm for two years, also officially left and joined the 'Jinghu Group', specializing in accounting and tax declaration affairs for 'Miracle Farm' and 'Xiao's No. 2' Winery.

Before that, Xiao Feng was interested in letting Xiao Shaoyao work in the 'Jinghu Group', but she thought that her life circle had always been in San Francisco and California, and she didn't want to leave. Therefore, he never agreed.

This time, the 'Jinghu Group' invested less than 50 miles from Jinjin Mountain, and Xiao Shaoyao's joining was logical.

In addition to Xiao Paeoniao, Xiao Li, who will graduate from UCLA this summer, will also take the 'Mirror Lake Group' as the first step in his career, and his first position is in the administration department.

'Miracle Farm' and 'Xiao's No. 2' wineries during their creation. There are naturally a lot of various affairs, and Xiao Li serves as Xiao Qiang's assistant in the Administration Department, which can get a good workout and lay a solid foundation for the future.

In addition to the Siu siblings, the German-American uncle Kane has also become a part of the farm, and he will be the farm's mechanical supervisor, responsible for thousands of large and small agricultural machinery and irrigation systems on the farm.

As for the other clansmen, they have developed very well in their respective fields, they have not joined the system of the 'Mirror Lake Group', and they are still living their own leisurely lives.

In fact, this is also a difference between Chinese culture and American culture, American people who advocate individuality and respect personal development and pursuit.

In contrast, family businesses in China can't afford to stuff all family members into the company, making the whole family business nondescript.

During the creation of the 'Jinghu Group', Xiao Feng could not find better people, which allowed the clansmen to play a vital role in it. Even so, the prominent positions of Yang Yuanhang, Ma Wanli, Zheng Xia and others within the group are also the best annotations for the opening up of the group.

With the exemplary role of these people, coupled with the management system of the abnormal eyes of the 'Jinghu Group', the enthusiasm of other employees is quite high, and the 'Jinghu Group' can be regarded as a company with a better modernization and reform of domestic family enterprises.

Now, Xiao Jun, Xiao Jian, Xiao Yueji and other members of the Xiao clan have gradually withdrawn from the front-line management positions of the 'Jinghu Group', and they no longer hold positions within the group except for retaining the voting power in the 'Xiao Family Asset Management Committee'.

It is precisely because of Xiao Feng's sober mind and the support of the old lady that 'Jinghu Group' has not become difficult to manage like other family businesses in China, but has gone more and more smoothly on the road of internationalization and modernization.

Xiao Qiang, who was alone for the first time, saw that Brother Jiu was coming, so he naturally showed a little bit of a taste of begging for praise, and took Xiao Feng around the 'Miracle Farm', and his excitement was beyond words!

Located on the plains by the sea, the Miracle Farm is a gentle, fertile land that has historically been a key area for San Francisco's agricultural industry. Originally, it belonged to several families and consortia, but after the merger of the 'Jinghu Group', the fence between the farms was removed, and a transportation system and a full irrigation system were built to cover the entire farm.

Standing on the hills of the farm, you can see the blue waters of San Francisco Bay, which is affected by the sea breeze and the humidity of the whole farm is quite good, which must provide a better growing environment for the crops on the farm.

"The kid is doing well!" Xiao Feng patted Xiao Qiang's shoulder and hugged him and said.

This time, whether it was the merger and acquisition of 'Miracle Farm' or 'Xiao's No. 2' winery, Xiao Feng gave Xiao Qiang full authority, and he only signed and paid after the agreement was reached.

The reason why he did not interfere with Xiao Qiang's actions was nothing more than to give him a chance to really take charge of himself, and what made Xiao Feng happy was that Xiao Qiang had done a good job, and even his spoken English had become extremely fluent in just one month, and he had made great progress.

Xiao Qiang's outstanding performance naturally strengthened Xiao Feng's confidence in putting him in charge of two projects in the United States, Xiao Feng is not the kind of pedantic person, and he has to recruit professional managers from the outside if he doesn't need to put his capable clansmen in charge.

"Harry and Sister Peony have helped a lot in it, and even Xiao Li's performance is good!" Although Xiao Qiang was very happy, he did not forget the merits of others.

Since the establishment of 'Jinghu Group', Xiao Qiang has always followed Xiao Feng and knows that a united team is the key to the success of 'Jinghu Group'.

This time when he came to the United States, Xiao Qiang found that his previous performance in the 'Xiao Family Farm' was just pediatrics, and he needed to work harder if he wanted to achieve greater success in the United States.

However, Xiao Qiang, who just had a child, felt that this kind of work was very challenging, man, who wouldn't want to be in power?

'Miracle Farm' and 'Xiao's No. 2' Winery have built a huge stage for Xiao Qiang, and the next thing is waiting for him to play to his heart's content! (To be continued......
