Chapter 974 Investing in a farm is not that simple

readx;

Of course, Chandler couldn't agree to Lin Zheng using cash, what kind of joke is it, the reason why Lao Tzu is willing to come to talk to you is because he likes ICQ's stock, otherwise why would I be so troublesome, wouldn't it be good to just package Cosworth and Rolls-Royce together and sell them to the public?

But £65 million? Colin. Chandler scoffed at the price: "£65 million, that's absolutely impossible. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

Lin Zheng seriously corrected the problem in Chandler's words: "Mr. Chandler, to reiterate, it's not 65 million pounds, it's ICQ's IPO shares worth 65 million pounds. Mr. Chandler, there is no point in dwelling on the price of Cosworth, the most important thing at the moment is to determine whether the Vickers Board of Directors is willing to cooperate, and as for the disagreement on price, this issue can be negotiated through negotiation...... Just to pass on to the Vickers Group Board of Directors a piece of information that you know, it's not hard for you, right? ”

"No problem, happy to do so." Colin. Chandler agreed very happily, not happily, and there are so many directors on the board of directors of the Vickers Group that even if he does not agree, other directors can raise this proposal.

……………………

Coming out of the smoking room, Lin Zheng lowered his voice and said to Tan Na: "Find a way to reveal this news to BMW, I think BMW should be very interested in this news." ”

Handling and power are BMW's proudest skills, and their engine skills are not only far superior to Volkswagen, but even weaker than Ferrari in some places, and if it weren't for Vickers' insistence on bundling Rolls-Royce and Cosworth together to maximize profits, BMW would not have been uncommon with Cosworth.

Before, there was no way. But when BMW knows that someone is interested in Cosworth and is ready to buy Cosworth alone, they must not mind helping them in the back and pit their rival: Volkswagen, right?

Tan Na nodded vigorously: "Okay, I'll arrange it." ”

…………………………………………

The talks ended. Lin Zheng and Chandler tacitly agreed that they would no longer bring up the topic of Cosworth, and the conversation between the two of them had been around pastures and farms that day.

"Over the past 20 years, the return on investment on farms and ranches in Australia has generally been between 4 and 6 per cent, with an average capital appreciation rate of almost 5 per cent, so if you want to buy a farm as a place to relax and relax, then buying a small farm is a good idea. However, if you are planning to invest in your country, I recommend that you invest in your country. ”

"Huh? Why? "Colin. Chandler's suggestion was a slight surprise to Mr. Lin.

"Because the rate of return on farms and ranches is so low, the Australian government subsidizes agriculture too little, only 3 per cent, just a little more than New Zealand." Colin. Chandler's tone was unprecedentedly serious: "And the Australian government is very strict in the management of agriculture, how many cattle are raised in an acre of a ranch, the relevant departments of the government will have guidelines, if the number of livestock raised exceeds the carrying capacity of the land, not only is the grass not enough to eat, the cattle are not fat, and the expected income cannot be achieved, the owner will also be punished for the crime of animal cruelty." ”

"And such a thing?" Lin Baoguo and Yang Xiuyu, who have always been ambitious and ready to be "big landlords" in Australia, widened their eyes in disbelief: My ranch. I can raise as many cattle and sheep as I want, why does the government even control this?

"Of course," Colin said. Chandler nodded. "Let's take the ranch where beef is raised, Australian beef cattle are divided into collective breeding and outdoor breeding, as far as outdoor breeding is concerned, from south to north, from east to west, according to the rainfall and water and grass supply conditions. The government's agriculture department has decided that the ranch ranges from two cows per acre to one cow on more than 200 acres. Of course, because of the difference in the carrying capacity of the land. Prices on farms also vary widely, costing as much as $3,500 an acre. A cheap $15 can buy an acre. Therefore, if it is an investment, when buying a ranch or farm, you must have a detailed understanding of the climate, soil, geographical environment, rainfall, and the amount of nutrients on the farm to ensure that your investment can be profitable. ”

Lin Baoguo, who was originally determined to be the landlord, couldn't help but look at each other: it seems that he thinks things too simply.

"Some of my friends who have invested in your country have told me that the ongoing reform and opening up in your country has brought countless opportunities, and he personally told me that if the return on investment in China is less than 10%, it is basically not a successful investment, but in Australia, the return on investment in agriculture is only 4% to 6%, which is a failure of failures, and I think such a figure makes Australian farm investment not particularly attractive. Of course, if it's just a leisure farm, it's easy to say, and it doesn't require much capital. ”

Lin Zheng interjected: "Mr. Chandler, I see that ranch next to you seems to be for sale?" ”

"The one next to my house, you said?" Colin. Chandler laughed and nodded, "That's right, but the farm is not small, 4,100 acres, and the listing price is 3.35 million Australian dollars." ”

4100 acres? Yang Xiuyu, who had just figured out the conversion relationship between acres and city acres, couldn't help but exclaim: "Wouldn't that be 25,000 acres?" ”

"It should be," Chandler did not know the conversion relationship between acres and city acres, and he did not care about this, and said to himself: "This farm next to our house is a compound farm, which can grow wheat, big sales, rapeseed, cattle and sheep, hills and streams, basins and islands, and old-fashioned houses, which is indeed very good as an investment, as far as I know, the farm employs four full-time staff throughout the year, including the farmer;

To the east of that farm, there is a 22,600-inch farm for sale, which has water rights to about 6 million tons of water. This large ranch has more than 60 individual title deeds, which is very suitable for equity crowdfunding and is not expensive, and from what I have heard, it seems that the whole family can immigrate to Australia by buying one of the individual title deeds! ”

At this point, Chandler scratched his head and laughed embarrassedly, "But this shouldn't be attractive to you." ”

"Hehe......" Lin Zheng's family also laughed.

Yes, with Lin Zheng's current wealth, there is no problem in applying for naturalization in any country, and the officials of the immigration bureau will definitely help Lin Zheng complete the immigration procedures in the shortest possible time. If Lin Zheng really has the desire to immigrate to Australia, I'm afraid the Australian government will be crazy.

Buying a farm is not a trivial matter, and no one can do anything wrong with a price of millions, especially the civil servant status of Lin Baoguo and Yang Xiuyu is even more destined for them to be cautious in this matter, it is not something that can be finalized at a moment or two sessions, but the rapid response of the board of directors of Vickers Group made Lin Zheng a little surprised.

Although Colin. Chandler's news came as a surprise to the board of directors, but the directors of the board of directors such as Lin Zheng and Collin. As Chandler expected, the vast majority of directors were very interested in Chandler's proposal.

The reason is clear there, if Rolls-Royce, Cosworth and Bentley are sold directly to Volkswagen and BMW, all the Vickers Group will get is a cash payment of three years, and this cash is obviously depreciating; However, if the object of the sale is exchanged for ICQ's shares, it will be different.

As long as you are not a fool, anyone can see that the stock price of ICQ will soar all the way after the listing, and exchanging the original shares of ICQ with the money-losing goods Cosworth is definitely an investment that can no longer be earned, on the one hand, it is an investment that is constantly appreciating, and on the other hand, it is cash, and the fool knows how to choose.

It's not that no one is worried about whether Volkswagen will have an opinion after the separation of Cosworth, and the board of directors of the Vickers Group is extremely calm on this point: Volkswagen didn't want Cosworth from the beginning, otherwise why would they pull Ford together?

This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that Volkswagen attaches great importance to Rolls-Royce, and for Volkswagen, which urgently needs Rolls-Royce, the world's most noble car brand, to enhance the added value of its brand, it is imperative for Rolls-Royce, as long as they can get Rolls-Royce, everything else is negotiable.

It didn't take much time for the Wickers board of directors to quickly agree with the decision to sell Cosworth to Tesla Motors by a whopping 78.5% vote, even though there was still a lot of opposition within the board, but on the phone, Chandler suppressed all opposition with just one sentence: "In the process of selling Rolls-Royce, the most important thing we should pay attention to should undoubtedly be to bring the greatest benefit to shareholders." ”

Don't say anything about the Cosworth feelings of the British, if you want to say that the feelings are really valuable, but if they are not worth it, they are not as good as a piece of toilet paper: everything is sold, it has become someone else's thing, and it has nothing to do with you, and you still talk about the feelings of a fart? The so-called feelings are just an excuse to sell at a high price. The Vickers group has fallen so far that they have to sell the British Pride Rolls-Royce and Bentley for money, how many more lessons do you expect them to have left?

"So we can move on to the next step of negotiations?" Lin Zheng stood up and asked Chandler with a smile.

"Of course, everyone is very interested in this proposal."

"It's really the best news I've ever heard." Lin Zheng glanced at Tan Na, who took out two equity subscription letters from his small bag under the expectant gaze of Chandler and Effie. (To be continued) R580
