Chapter 753: Above the Plane
In just two hours from Ginkgo Village to Haizhou Airport, Xiao Feng read the mid-year financial statements of the 'Jinghu Group', and he did not give Yang Hao more instructions, after all, the group's development plan is there, and many things can be fine-tuned by him within the framework.
Because Gulfstream's engineers had to overhaul the Nini, replace wearing parts, and refuel, Xiao Feng's family stayed in Haizhou for one night after arriving in Haizhou.
Mom and Dad rarely come to Haizhou, so Xiao Feng naturally took them to a few famous scenic spots, such as the Bund, the Oriental Pearl and Nanjing Road.
Of course, the headquarters of 'Mengyao Coffee' on the 88th floor of the 'Haizhou World Financial Center' is not to be missed.
In the eyes of the two old men, such a large place is only a little more than 4 acres, and it actually cost 280 million, which really stunned them.
Since opening a company at home, Xiao Jinyang and Xue Lihua have become accustomed to all kinds of luxury goods at home, supercars worth 40 million RMB, private jets worth 400 million, and now with such a high-priced mansion, they are already a little numb.
In the past, Xue Lihua was still a little worried about money, and often talked to her son not to be too extravagant, but in the past two years, she has no feelings.
His son donates 300,000 cans of 'Jinghu Milk Powder' to the disadvantaged groups across the country every month, which is worth more than 100 million yuan in the market, and Xiao Feng personally donated billions of dollars to the 'Ginkgo Foundation'.
Now that the Xiao family's family can already treat money as money, Xue Lihua also wants to open it, money is something outside the body.
As long as Xiao Feng doesn't mess around, there is no need to care about him when he spends money.
What's more, other parents always have to worry about all kinds of things about their sons, but Xiao Feng somewhat made Xue Lihua and Xiao Jinyang less happy to teach their sons, so they had to focus on their two grandchildren.
After a round of shopping.
Xiao Feng took his parents to the Chinese restaurant on the 92nd floor of the 'Haizhou World Financial Center', which is also the highest Chinese restaurant in the world.
The name alone is enough to make the price of the dishes here twice as high as that of ordinary restaurants, not to mention that the ingredients here are all from the best production bases, coupled with the skills of top chefs, the average person really can't afford to eat!
As far as Xiao Feng knew.
This Chinese restaurant, called 'Imperial Sea Pavilion', specializes in seafood, but also uses a considerable amount of 'Jinghu ingredients', and is an important customer of 'Jinghu Agriculture'.
When you come here, you naturally want to eat the signature 'brandy cheese lobster'.
Although this dish is a Western dish, it has undergone some improvements in Chinese food, which is also suitable for the appetite of the two old people.
Of course, Xiao Feng thinks that this 'Golden Jade Full Hall' has traces of top Cantonese chefs, and it seems that this restaurant is not only good at Haizhou local cuisine.
After dinner, the family also went up to the viewing platform on the top floor, overlooking the night view of Haizhou more than 400 meters below, and the spectacular scenery made the two old people and children exclaim all the time!
As a half-Haizhou person who has lived in Haizhou for five years.
Xiao Feng had also seen the night view of Haizhou on the Oriental Pearl Tower before, and now that five years have passed, the changes in Haizhou are really amazing!
Describe it as 'never sleeping'.
Not an exaggeration at all!
In fact, in Xiao Feng's view, China's economic development speed and future prospects are naturally much better than those of the United States, but it is a pity that the land policy determines that Xiao Feng's industrial core cannot be placed in China!
Up to now, it can only be that domestic and foreign countries go hand in hand, echoing each other.
Finally cast a century-old foundation!
………… The next morning, Benjamin took the team to the 'Yipin World' to pick up Xiao Feng and his party.
Taking advantage of the rush hour, the convoy arrived at Haizhou International Airport very smoothly.
Because now the transportation is convenient.
can also video, telephone, etc., the parting between friends will not be like the ancient times of 'life and death', so Benjamin will not be like Li Taibai, writing 'Peach Blossom Lake is a thousand feet deep, not as deep as Wang Lun to send me love'!
The two hugged for a while, and Benjamin watched Xiao Feng's family enter the airport from the green channel, and the next meeting was actually very fast, and Xiao Feng would return to Haizhou next month to participate in the opening ceremony of the 'Mengyao Coffee' flagship store!
Compared with taking a civil airliner, the check-in procedure of the 'Nini' is quite convenient, and after the airport staff conducted a security check on Xiao Feng and his party, they took a commuter car to the runway, and the 'Nini' was ready here!
Without much effort, the 'Nini' quickly obtained the permission to take off first at Haizhou Airport, flashed its navigation lights, and took off!
It was the first time for my parents to go abroad, but because they had their sons, daughters-in-law and grandchildren by their side, they didn't feel nervous at all, but they were very interested in their new home, the 'Dream Ranch'.
"Xiaofeng, this 'dream ranch' is not big, only 150,000 acres will cost 200 million US dollars, and the land price in the United States is not cheap!"
In the past, Xiao Jinyang vaguely heard his son talk about the 'Dream Ranch', but now that he thinks about it, it seems quite expensive.
150,000 acres of land, equivalent to 100 square kilometers, is only about half of the 'Jinghu Ranch', but fortunately, 200 million US dollars bought the ownership, and this land will belong to the Xiao family for the rest of his life.
"Dad, the United States is talking about acres, which is almost 1 million acres, and the average per mu is only 50 US dollars!"
Xiao Feng knew that his father didn't care much about these things before, and explained to him with a smile.
The annual fee paid by the 'Jinghu Group' to rent the land of the villagers is high and low, and the average per mu will not be less than 300RMB!
However, in the United States, you can get the ownership of the land, easements, etc., for a similar price, which is really cost-effective!
In a sense, it is far more cost-effective to buy land in the United States than to rent land in China, the only problem is that the labor cost in the United States is too high, and the operating cost of the ranch is difficult to control.
During this time, Xiao Feng also had a lot of understanding of agriculture and animal husbandry in the United States, not to mention that the scale of many farms and ranches was not bad, but their average profit margin was about 5%-8%.
Especially in the face of droughts, floods, pests and diseases, farmers and ranchers can only hope to survive on agricultural subsidies from the American government!
In the United States, the most lucrative area of the basic agricultural industry is still in the vineyards of California, but the competition here is too fierce, and a large number of consortia and capital can be found everywhere, and it is still difficult for outsiders to get involved.
However, this is also one of Xiao Feng's goals, which is to start a large-scale winery in the Pana Valley and cultivate top wines comparable to 'Xiao's wines', as a new direction for himself in the United States.
"That's pretty much it!"
Hearing his son's explanation, Xiao Jinyang nodded.
However, when Xiao Jinyang reacted, he was immediately stunned!
'Jinghu Ranch' is only 300,000 acres of land, with a total area of an astonishing 200 square kilometers, which is already very huge in Xiao Jinyang's eyes.
However, the 'Dream Ranch' is more than three times the size of the 'Mirror Lake Ranch', with an area of more than 600 square kilometers, which is equivalent to the land area of some counties!
In the past, Xiao Jinyang never thought that his family would be able to own such a huge land one day, but now that he thinks about it, he really feels like a dream.
"Dad, there are guns on the farm, you can have a good time when the time comes, and you can hunt bears and deer in the mountains!"
Xiao Feng naturally knew his father's hobbies, and talked about things he was interested in.
When Xiao Jinyang joined the army, the border war between China and Annam was in full swing, and he had also made meritorious contributions on the front line, so he naturally had a strong gun complex.
It's a pity that after changing jobs, Xiao Jinyang's opportunities to touch the gun are getting fewer and fewer, especially after becoming a leader over the years, he hasn't worked the front line for a long time.
Now that he has arrived at the 'Dream Ranch', so many weapons at home, as well as a well-equipped shooting range, and a hunting ground with abundant prey, should be able to make Xiao Jinyang happy!
"That's a good dare!"
Xiao Jinyang nodded and said, "Lao Mei is good at this, you can hold weapons freely!"
I have heard of the gun policy in the United States before, and Xiao Jinyang, as a law enforcer, naturally does not agree with the proliferation of guns, but when he becomes an ordinary person, he is eager to have his own weapons, and it is quite contradictory to think about it carefully.
At this time, Xiao Jinyang was already a little impatient, and his son had sent back a lot of photos before, which made him itch.
As soon as they talked about guns, the common topic of the father and son came, and Xiao Jinyang also told his son with great interest about some of his experiences on the Laoshan battlefield, and there were many details that Xiao Feng didn't know before, and he listened to them with relish.
After a while, two little radish heads also came around, and even Xu Mengyao was a little surprised, it turned out that her father-in-law still had this experience.
At this time, Xu Mengyao knew why his grandfather would look at his father-in-law differently, it turned out that he was once a soldier under General Xu on some kind of Cheng dù.
In the war of that year, Xu Lao served as the logistics director, and cooperated seamlessly with the warrior monk general, and achieved brilliant results, so that the reform and opening up of China gained a firm foothold in the world.
Sometimes, international status needs to be earned by 'fighting'!
Seeing that his son, daughter-in-law and dolls were quite willing to listen, Xiao Jinyang was even more interested, and many stories that had been stuffed in his heart before were wonderful, and even the two flight attendants were immediately attracted.
In this atmosphere, the long journey seemed to be no problem, and by the time the Nini arrived in Montana, night had already begun to fall outside the porthole.
For the new life that is about to start in the 'Dream Ranch', Xiao Jinyang and Xue Lihua are still looking forward to it!
