Chapter 572: Buying a Country
"Welcome to Kangaroo Country Queensland, and then we'll be flying to Jack's Farm. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info "Morris Road.
"Thank you." Ge Zhengdao expressed his gratitude.
"Wow, it's great to get on a plane to the farm." Liu Yueran jumped up, "I'll just say, it's more than 500 kilometers away from the destination, and there is no domestic high-speed rail, so it takes several hours to take a car or train." ”
Li Mao said in a low voice: "Pay attention to your image, don't be like a turtle." Our Penglai Island is the most concentrated area of luxury private jets in the world, and four of the world's ten most luxurious private jets are on Penglai Island, why do you look like you haven't seen the world? ”
Liu Yueran glanced at him: "It's like you have a private jet." ”
Li Mao was choked for a moment, and said stupidly: "Although I don't have a private jet, I have taken the private jet of Mr. Ge's family, which is the Kunpeng passenger plane, the largest passenger plane in the world." ”
"Alright, you two don't quarrel." Ge Zhengdao stopped them, "I don't have a private jet, it's my uncle's." ”
Ge Zhengdao's uncle is Ge Jianjun of Dayan Village, the first employee under Lu Yang. Fourteen years ago, Lu Yang began to start a business in Qishui Town, and was taken care of by Ge Jiefang, the party secretary of Dayan Village. Speaking of which, Ge Jianjun and Lu Yang have been with him longer than Zhao Tai.
Lu Yang is a nostalgic person, although Ge Jianjun has a low level of education, he is down-to-earth, conscientious and responsible, loyal enough to Lu Yang, and finally went to a management position. In the previous Spring Festival benefits, Lu Yang raised Ge Jianjun's benefits by two notches and rewarded him with a Kunpeng passenger plane.
The plane Morris was talking about was a Bombardier business jet with only 12 seats, and the cabin seemed crowded, which made Ge Zhengdao a little uncomfortable. However, the jet was at a fair speed, and in about 40 minutes, they landed at the airfield at Jack's Farm.
After getting off the plane, Ge Zhengdao frowned slightly, and Liu Yueran next to him covered his nose and said, "It's smelly......"
Morris explains: "Jack's Farm is one of the largest cattle farms in Kangaroo Country, and it can't help but have some flavor. It's okay now, because it's almost winter, and the flavor is a bit stronger in the summer. ”
Morris's honesty made Liu Yueran very embarrassed, lowered his head and stuck out his tongue.
At Jack's Farm, Ge Zhengdao met Peter Haydem, the head of the Haydem family. The other party is a burly middle-aged man with blonde hair, prominent cheekbones, a reddish nose, and a mustache.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Haydem." Ge Zhengdao had read the information of the Haydem family and recognized him at a glance.
"Just call me Peter, Ge." Peter was not angry at all, and spoke very relatablely.
"All right, Peter." Ge Zhengdao is as good as a stream, in fact, he has dealt with Westerners a lot over the years, and he is used to them, "I won't say more nonsense, I rushed here from Penglai Island, 4,000 kilometers away, just to negotiate with the Haydem family about the acquisition of the farm." We have only been in contact with each other before, but this time we hope to learn more. ”
Peter Heidem admires Ge's style: "Of course, that's why I came back from Canberra. These are the profiles of Jack's Farm and other farms owned by Haydem, as well as our valuation of the farms, so check it out! ”
Ge Zhengdao immediately studied the information with Liu Yueran.
"With all due respect, Peter, your offer is too high." Five minutes later, Ge Zhengdao said, "Four years ago, the Kidman family sold 100,000 square kilometers of farms for only $380 million, which is equivalent to $3,800 per square kilometer, and your valuation of Jack's Farm and other farms reached $4,200 per square kilometer, a price that we can't accept." ”
"No, no, Ge, our farms in Hydem are not comparable to the Kidman family's farms, their farms are all in the central or western regions, and our farms are concentrated in the east." Peter Haydem, also an experienced businessman, immediately bargained with Ge Zhengdao.
At the same time, Penglai Agricultural Group sent a total of 12 teams to different regions to inspect the large farms in Kangaroo Country.
"Boss, are we really going to buy so many farms this time?" On Penglai Island, Zhao Tai and Lu Yang were drinking tea in the villa, and Zhao Tai asked.
Lu Yang smiled: "This tea is really good, it can be promoted and planted...... As for Kangaroo Country Farm, I have prepared 10 billion this time. ”
"10 billion?" Zhao Tai's hand holding the teacup trembled, "Boss, are you going to buy Kangaroo Country?" ”
"It's not that exaggerated, I just want to buy more land."
"But can the Kangaroo Nation agree? Even at pre-crisis prices, 10 billion yuan would be enough to buy 40 to 500,000 square kilometers of land, equivalent to about 6% of the Kangaroo Country. I heard that after the economic crisis, the value of land in Kangaroo Country has depreciated significantly, and many bankrupt farmers are considering selling their land, so so much money should be able to buy more than 500,000 square kilometers of land......"
"Almost." Lu Yang nodded.
Zhao Tai's eyes widened: "With so much land, how can Kangaroo Country sell us?" That's the size of five Sioux provinces, unless the Kangaroo Nation is crazy. ”
"It's not as exaggerated as you say, we buy land for planting, not for the establishment of the country." Lu Yang briefly talked about the deal with the Kangaroo Country.
Zhao Tai gave a thumbs up and gave a silent admiration.
"By the way, what are we buying so much land for?" Zhao Tai asked.
"Let's develop animal husbandry, there is still a great demand for meat in China, including our Penglai Island. Many parts of the kangaroo country are natural pastures and livestock farming is of high quality. So much land is just enough to make up for the shortcomings of our agricultural company. ”
"That's right, 30% of Penglai Island's current meat consumption is high-grade ingredients, and we have to import these from rice and kangaroo countries. Now that we have our own large pasture, we are completely self-sufficient in meat. In addition, the mainland's demand for high-grade meat is also increasing......" Zhao Tai calculated in his heart.
"And dairy. Domestic companies are really not angry, and they still haven't won the trust of the people, resulting in more and more foreign milk powder. When the time comes, you find a big ranch to raise dairy cows, and then establish your own milk and milk powder brands, don't always let Chinese people go abroad to bring milk powder. Lu Yang suddenly remembered this matter.
"There's absolutely no problem finding one." Zhao Tai nodded repeatedly, "We also have ranches on Penglai Island, but the scale is too small to only supply the local market, and after acquiring the Kangaroo Country Ranch, we should be able to supply the mainland market." ”
When Penglai Agricultural Group acquired the land of Kangaroo Country, Su Yan arrived in Canberra with a group of Penglai Group executives in surprise from the outside world, and was received by Aiken Jones, the prime minister of Kangaroo Country.
"Penglai Group senior management visits Kangaroo Country!"
"Huaxia and Penglai Island are secretly trading, and the two sides may have reconciled!"
"According to the latest news, this month the Chinese Pacific Navy canceled the Tasman Sea cruise plan!"
"The financial market of Kangaroo Country has recovered, and external threats may have been eliminated!"
"The Secretary of State of the United States is preparing to visit the Kangaroo Country, and the Prime Minister's Office of the Kangaroo Country said that the other party was not invited!"
"The opportunity for the policy change of the kangaroo country: who should be chosen between China and the United States?"
In May, the relationship between the kangaroo country and Penglai Island became the focus of discussion, especially Aiken Jones received Su Yan and his party in a high-profile manner, and then the two sides jointly announced that Penglai Group will invest 500 billion US dollars in the kangaroo country within five years, involving more than 30 fields such as infrastructure, electricity, minerals, agriculture, education, telecommunications, and steel in the kangaroo country.
When the news came out, Chinese netizens were jubilant.
"The largest investment in history, $500 billion in 5 years!"
"Penglai Group is ready to buy Kangaroo Country, Aiken Jones said, we can sell!"
"The domineering of the richest man in the world, buying the country without saying a word!"
"Lu Yang is already invincible!"
Huaxia is happy, Mio is not happy, who doesn't know that Kangaroo Country is a hardcore ally of Mi Country, but looking at their current trend, they are simply ready to turn their backs on Mi Guo and throw themselves into the arms of Huaxia. Once the $500 billion investment is confirmed, five years later, the kangaroo country will be shorted out by China.
"Huaxia's conspiracy, now the Kangaroo Country has finally succumbed!"
"Kangaroo Nation needs the salvation of the free world!"
"The people of Kangaroo Country have elected a madman to be the prime minister, and he has sold his country to the evil Lu Yang!"
"The Jinyuan offensive of the Chinese people, the rice country needs to be vigilant!"
"China is trying to use the South Pacific as a strategic breakthrough point!"
On the Internet, in the newspapers, all kinds of discussions are flying all over the sky, and the two parties are very calm about this, even if there are some demonstrations in Kangaroo Country against the investment in Penglai Island, which has not affected the signing of the agreement.
"What Aiken Jones did was extremely irresponsible!" Because he failed to visit Kangaroo Country, Secretary of State Kleber was very angry and did not hesitate to accuse Aiken Jones in front of reporters. In fact, the accusations of the people of the United States are just posturing, and they are secretly trying to contact Aiken Jones in the hope of keeping this ally.
Hillani spoke with Aiken Jones on the phone several times and visited Kangaroo Country in mid-May. After the previous turmoil, the kangaroo country did not trust the rice country so much, but the habits over the years still made them involuntarily close to the rice country. With Hillani's efforts, Aiken Jones maintained an alliance with the United States.
"It seems that if you want to get the kangaroo country out of the United States, it is really not easy to get close to Huaxia." Lu Yang looked at Hillani and Aiken Jones on TV, and the two sides reaffirmed their military cooperation, and couldn't help but sigh. (To be continued.) )
