This chapter occupies the pit!

After a pause, Pei Pei continued with a smile: "It is said that the output and sales of all walks of life have shrunk sharply due to the impact of the financial turmoil, but in my opinion, no matter how hard the financial turmoil blows, the pharmaceutical industry can still maintain stable sales!" After all, the most irresistible thing for a person is to get sick! ”

While speaking, Pei Pei glanced at her husband proudly, and then revealed with a smug face: "Arnold also reported to me some time ago that because of the impact of the successful research and development of 'T-type antibiotic drugs', the sales of 'Li Tang' series products have already begun to rise instead of falling!" So even if Old Topher doesn't ask me, I'm going to find an opportunity to find out what he's talking about. At the end, Pei Pei couldn't help but give a high-five, and the smugness on her face was beyond words!

After Austin heard this, he scratched the tip of his wife's nose and said with a smile in his eyes: "You guy, you are so lucky that you don't know what to tell me about you!" ”

As soon as she heard this, Pei Pei's face became even more embarrassed: "Do you know what 'all wishes come true'?" That's what I am! ”

Austin funnily flicked Pei Pei's forehead, and then put her arms around Pei Pei's shoulders, and the couple began to get tired in the study

The camera pans to Joey –

The first thing Joey did after getting instructions from his boss. I hurried to call Old Topher.

After the phone was called, he relayed his boss's attitude in a few words, and then asked Old Topher how much he was going to offer.

Old Topher replied, "I have a total of 3,200 acres of land on my ranch, and the price of each acre is $4,600, plus some cattle and sheep in the ranch, and I plan to sell the ranch together, plus all the machinery and equipment in the ranch, oh yes, and my baby helicopter, hehe, since I am already planning to sell the ranch." It's useless for me to keep this thing. I'm going to sell it all together! All of this adds up to my offer of 17 million dollars! ”

Speaking of this, Old Topher's voice changed and began to pull up friendship: "Joey." We're both old neighbors and old friends. I won't hide some things from you. You can calculate the accounts and you will know, I have already lost a lot of money at this price, if it weren't for the bank's urgency. My ranch, along with everything in it, can add up to 20 million dollars, right? ”

Joey was a little worried when he heard this, but business is business after all, and no matter how good his personal relationship with Old Tover is, he has to check the boss's purse, right?

So, Joey deliberately changed the subject: "Seventeen million? Wait a minute, I'll take a calculator and calculate the accounts first! ”

After throwing this sentence, he immediately called out to his wife: "Rona, help me get a calculator." ”

While his wife hadn't brought the calculator yet, Joey said to old Topho: "Old man, what is the market like in this world now, I don't say you know!" Although your offer is not high, at present, I am the only one who can come up with this money in one go! ”

As soon as he said that, out of the corner of his eye, Joey saw that his wife, Rhona, had already come over with a calculator.

So, Joey put the microphone around his neck and ear, and then took the calculator, and the old Topher on the other end of the microphone threw a sentence: "Lorna brought the calculator, let's stop chatting for now, let me calculate the account first and then talk about anything else." ”

With that, he began to crack the keys and calculate the accounts

While calculating the accounts, Joey muttered to himself: "Four thousand six times three thousand two hundred acres is $14.72 million, and one thousand seventeen million minus one hundred and forty-seven two is two million two million and two hundred and twenty-eighteen!" ”

When the account was settled, Joey held the microphone and asked, "By the way, Old Topho, how much are your cattle and sheep?" ”

Old Topher immediately replied: "I just sold a batch of cattle and sheep that can be slaughtered at a loss, and the breeding cattle and breeding sheep have also contacted the buyer now." So now, all that's left in the pasture are half-slaughtered cattle and sheep and a herd of calves! There are now 156 half-slaughtered cows left, each of which is $4,000, and the half-slaughtered sheep are not much, only 82 in total, each of which is $1,500, and there are 52 calves in total. What do you think? You should be able to accept the price. ”

As a neighbor, Joey of course knew that the cattle raised in Old Tofer's ranch were all Angus beef cattle, and this breed of beef cattle has always been considered the best maternal breeding cattle in the international beef cattle hybrid system, so in terms of price, Old Tofer's price is quite reasonable.

But—

He also knew that the boss would consider buying Old Tofer's ranch because it was just the land, not the accompanying cattle and sheep. Cattle and sheep themselves are weeds, especially sheep, love to gnaw grass roots, this group of cattle and sheep are all half-slaughtered and calves that have not grown, do they buy them and feed Wei Lang and his subordinates and golden eagles?

All these add-ons add up, and the total ledger is 787,000! Spending more than 780,000 US dollars to buy "feed" for wolves and golden eagles is too extravagant.

Even if the boss won't ask, it's Jinsen who is in charge of the accounts, and Joey has to deal with him at least once a month, knowing that this person is not so easy to deal with.

In addition, there is also the cost of those machinery and equipment, although the package price of Old Tofer and the helicopter together is only more than 1.2 million, which is only half of the original value of these equipment! However, the account can't be counted like this, after all, those are all second-hand, and there are some machines that are not used at all for the medicine field, and they have to be transformed before they can be used after buying!

For Joey, it doesn't matter if it's a cow or sheep problem, or a machine problem. Although he can come up with a solution, and even the boss has explained in advance not to be too harsh, but in Joey's concept, how can there be no bargaining in business?

- It's rare for the boss to give himself the opportunity to talk about such a big deal, so he has to behave well, doesn't he?

After thinking about this, Joey put the calculator in his hand, then picked up the microphone again and said to Old Topher: "I said old man, you should guess that the reason why my boss will buy land is nothing more than to expand the medicine field, if those cattle and sheep of yours have grown to the slaughter period." If you buy it, you buy it. It's a big deal to be a worker's meal. But the current situation is that these additions have to be raised for at least four or five months before they can be slaughtered, and who will raise them after we accept them? Where to raise? These are the questions! And besides, your machines, alas~~~~~~ I don't say you know it! ”

The rest of the story, Joey chose not to continue. Let old Topher experience it for himself.

Old Topher listened. He sighed as well.

Of course, he knows whether it is cattle or sheep, second-hand machinery and equipment. For Koizumi Villa, these are useless add-ons. If the bank hadn't been so quick to get the loan and had allowed him to hold out for another four or five months, then at least he would have survived this difficult period. It's not that you can't even keep the pasture.

But in fact, the deadline set by the bank for him is the fifteenth of the next month.

If the loan is still not paid by August 15, the bank will send someone to put a seal on it. And once it is declared bankrupt, this ranch will be worth 17 million, and it will be lucky to get half of it back.

As soon as he thought of this, Old Topher himself lost his confidence.

He automatically relented: "Then how much do you think is appropriate?" ”

Joey thought for a moment and helped to come up with an idea: "Why don't you ask other people's pastures about your cattle and sheep and machinery and equipment to see if any of them need them?" As for your helicopter, I can take it. ”

"You mean just the land, not the rest?" Old Topher thought for a moment and felt that this condition was unacceptable, "This is not good! If you want to buy it, you have to buy it together! ”

Joey just wanted to test his tone, so when he heard it, he deliberately replied in a casual tone: "You don't want to think about who else in this stall except my boss can take out this cash to buy your ranch in one go?" Don't think that my boss must buy your ranch, now in this world, there are more people who can't hold on and are ready to sell the ranch! Your ranch is good because it is adjacent to the boundary of our Xiaoquan Mountain, so my boss will be interested and let me call you to ask for a price! Since you are determined to sell together, then let it be, and I will report your offer to the boss in a while, as for whether it can be done? Just wait for the boss's reply, you wait for my news. ”

With that, he was ready to hang up the phone.

"Wait a minute! Don't worry! I'm not done yet! Old Topher seemed to loosen up a little, and immediately shouted into the microphone.

After the corners of Joey's mouth curled slightly, he put the microphone back to his ear—

I only heard old Topher say: "In this way, everything adds up, and I can get another 200,000 cheaper!" You tell Pell that this is already my bottom price, and if she can accept it, I can sign a contract with her at any time! ”

"You mean," Joey confirmed, "the lowest reserve price of sixteen.8 million?" ”

"Yes!"

"Okay, I got it! I'll quote the price to my boss now. ”

With that, Joey hung up the phone, then got up and walked straight to the study

——————————————————————————

When he came to the door of the study, he tapped the door twice, and then opened his mouth and walked in—

"Boss! I just finished talking to Old Topher on the phone! As soon as Joey opened the door, he excitedly shouted: "Old Tofer's original offer was 17 million US dollars, but after I fooled a few words, he immediately automatically reduced the price to 16.8 million!" ”

When Pei Pei heard this, she laughed: "It seems that old Topher has been having a hard time lately. ”

Joey smiled: "I must have been in a hurry by the bank's debt collection!" ”

Pei Pei smiled, turned to look at her husband and asked, "How is it, do you think this price is reasonable?" ”

Austin didn't give an immediate reply, but looked at Joey and asked, "How many acres of land is there in Old Tofer's ranch?" ”

"The land area of the ranch is three thousand two hundred acres!" Joey replied.

After getting the answer, Austin kept his brows down and started doing mental arithmetic

Austin's head wasn't like Joey, who needed a calculator to settle accounts, so in a short time, he calculated the value of each acre of land.

And the calculated price did not make Austin feel reasonable.

Therefore, he turned his head to look at Pei Pei and said: "When Xiaoquan Villa was in my hands, before I decided to sell it, I also specially asked Saimen to check the land price in Montana at that time, which was the year before last, and I remember that the price of agricultural land in Montana at that time was in the range of 5,000 to 5,005. It was then, and now it is now! I don't need to say anything more about what the situation is now! According to Tofer Sr.'s offer, his 3,200 acres of land equates to about $5,400 per acre. After all the calculations, I don't think his offer is reasonable at all! Even if you're friends with him, business is business, and if you look at the average market price in Montana today, I think you could put it at about $4,500 per acre! ”

As soon as Austin's words fell, Joey immediately interjected, "Mr. Hercules, sorry to interrupt!" I haven't had time to explain it yet! In fact, Old Tofer's ranch was quoted at $4,600 per acre for a piece of land alone. But Old Topher insisted that if you wanted to buy it, you had to buy it all along with the add-ons from the ranch! So, the price of $16.8 million includes everything on his ranch, such as the cattle and sheep on his ranch, machinery and equipment, and even his beloved helicopter! ”

As he spoke, Joey snapped his fingers and reported the add-ons one by one to the boss and his wife

As he spoke, Joey snapped his fingers and reported the add-ons one by one to the boss and his wife

With that, Joey snapped his fingers and reported the add-ons to the boss and his wife one by one (to be continued). )
