Heidi still kept her promise, and after returning to Vancouver, her uncle transferred $200 million to Li Yifan's account at a Swiss bank that day.
This made Li Yifan have to be impressed by Uncle Heidi's money laundering ability, worthy of being a money laundering expert used by the Black # Gang, no wonder Heidi and Danny will often boast in front of themselves that her uncle has great powers, and now it seems that this is the case.
You must know that this money is not a small amount, such a large amount of money, using dozens of accounts, has to be washed through various channels, of course, there will be some expenses in the middle, but his uncle was able to lose only a few million dollars in such a quick time, and he got the money for himself, it seems that this person's ability is really not small.
Of course, Li Yifan wants to meet this money laundering expert if he has the chance, but now he wants to deal with the Red Deer River Ranch in Alberta, and the elder Edmund is probably in a hurry.
That night, Li Yifan and Billy returned to Uncle Danny's house, and Uncle Danny and his aunt were also very happy to see the two children who had just returned from a 'trip' to the United States.
On the one hand, it is because Li Yifan returned from the United States safely, and on the other hand, it is also because it seems that Billy has matured a lot after this trip to the United States, and he is no longer as young and frivolous as before.
After a day of rest at Uncle Andy's house, it was Sunday, and the uncle and nephew flew directly to Alberta, and when they arrived in Calgary, it was still Edmund Sr. who came to pick them up.
This is more than a month. But old Edmund was anxious enough. He took out a loan from the bank. It will bring him a huge amount of interest every day, plus the current market environment is really bad, and the milk produced by his cows can't be shipped out at all, and it can't generate profits, if Li Yifan and they don't come again, he will really go bankrupt.
The next day, Edmund took his uncle and nephew to his ranch. After turning around and checking some of the situation, after no change from the original, Li Yifan finally signed his name on the contract that Uncle Andy had prepared for a long time, and from now on, this Red Deer River Ranch will belong to him.
And Edmund was so happy that he was almost blind.
"Edmund, now you can forget but think about it, sell the ranch, you will become a multi-millionaire, now you can go around Shijie with Ruth."
Uncle Andy said with a smile on his face as he looked at Edmund. During this time, I often had to go to the Alberta government to deal with some formalities. So he is very familiar with Edmund, and he knows his situation very well.
Don't look at Edmund now owes a lot of debt to the bank, but after Li Yifan's money arrives, after he pays back the bank's loan, how can he save a thousand yuan.
Edmund also looked like he was not doing anything, and he nodded, but his face was not too happy.
"Yes, it's a pity that I have to pay back more than half of this money to the bank, otherwise I will be happier."
When he bought cows before, he disposed of all the beef cattle in his pasture, and because he wanted to make a big deal, when he introduced cows, he spent a lot of money, and Zuihou didn't have enough money, so he borrowed money from the bank.
And because raising dairy cows is different from raising beef cattle, he borrowed a lot of money to build a cowshed, as well as automatic milking, and feeding equipment, which alone cost twenty or thirty million one after another.
Later, because of the collapse of the dairy company, his milk was out of sales, and he planned to make milk powder, so he introduced a large number of equipment for making milk powder, and found someone to build a factory, debug the equipment or something, in short, he borrowed tens of millions from the bank.
But what he didn't expect was that when all this was done, he encountered an economic crisis and a poor market environment, which caused him to make ends meet and was on the verge of bankruptcy.
Otherwise, a ranch like him, as long as it is operated safely, will never face the situation of bankruptcy, although it may not be able to make any big money, but it is not a problem to mix with an upper-average standard of living.
Now just repaying the bank loans, as well as the interest generated by those huge loans, will cost more than 70 million, that is to say, Zuihou, a pasture of more than 50,000 acres, plus those cows, milk powder factories, and various automated equipment, has brought him a net income of more than 10 million, and old Edmund is of course not happy.
However, the previous business measures were all made by himself, and he couldn't blame others, so he could only consider himself unlucky, and in fact, there are not a few farmers like him in Canada now.
"Edmund, what are you going to do next? Are you really going to travel around Shijie? ”
Li Yifan asked Edmund on the side, to be honest, he really has one less qualified ranch manager, after buying the ranch, he will return to China, but who will run it here and take care of it?
Uncle Andy recommended to him to organize a special team, but this team is easy to manage, but it is difficult to find people who really understand ranch management and management, especially those who are proficient in animal husbandry.
It's not that it's hard to find someone who understands jishu and knowledge, but it's hard to find someone who can be trusted, and through this period of contact, Uncle Andy proposed a personal choice for him, and this person is Edmund.
Don't look at old Edmund, he is not very good at business vision, but in terms of serving the ranch and already serving those dairy beef cows, he is indeed experienced, and he is also very sincere, and he is a trustworthy ranch manager.
And old Edmund was of course very reluctant to leave this ranch where he had lived all his life, and at this time, when Li Yifan asked like this, he immediately moved his mind.
"Where can I really go around Shijie, besides, to go around Shijie, how can I be happy to patrol the ranch every day, I have lived here all my life, I was born here, I grew up here, I don't know what else I can do when I go outside."
Edmund really has a deep affection for this Red Deer River Ranch.
"If that's the case, then Edmund doesn't know if you'd like to take care of the ranch for me? You know, after buying the ranch, I'm going back to my country to run my other business, and I need a trustworthy person to help me run the ranch here in Canada. ”
Li Yifan said with a smile, it seems that Uncle Andy had quietly done the work for Edmund before, otherwise he would not have beaten the snake so naturally.
"I do, of course I do, but I hope Ruth and I can still live in our old house."
Edmund agreed in one bite, his straightforwardness really made Li Yifan a little uncomfortable, if he changed his domestic habits, the applicant should definitely be twisted for a while, and then Zuihou would agree to come down under the hospitality of the appointee.
But looking at people's directness, such a job-seeking attitude will not appear in China until at least ten years later.
"No problem, you live wherever you want, if you manage the ranch, you will always live in that house."
Li Yifan said with a smile, from the moment he signed the contract, everything in this ranch, whether it was above ground or underground, belonged to him, and he certainly had the right to dispose of it.
"Of course, Edmund, your main job may be different from before, your job is to manage the staff of the ranch, so that they can smoothly make milk into milk powder, and in terms of accounting, I will have someone to manage it."
Of course, wealth and power must be separated, otherwise with Edmund's business vision, if he takes a wrong step, this ranch will be miserable.
"No problem, it's made a lot easier for me, in fact, I've never been very good at taxes and accounting."
Edmund was a good talker, and in fact he could ask for anything more to stay on the ranch.
"BY THE WAY, BOSS, IS OUR BIG RANCH JUST COWS? In fact, I have to admit that I made a serious mistake before, there is still a lot of land here that is free, enough to raise a few thousand beef cattle. ”
Edmund stepped into the role right away, and it seems that he has always been haunted by the mistakes he has made before, and he still has feelings for the beef cattle that he has raised for many years.
"Well, this is a good idea, I will leave you a certain amount of funds this year, you can introduce some beef cattle to breed, but the funds are limited, so our beef cattle breeding can only rely on ourselves to take it slowly, and when I have enough funds, we will take our time."
In fact, after paying Edmund 90 million US dollars, Li Yifan still has more than 100 million US dollars in his hand, but he does not plan to give all this money to Edmund to introduce beef cattle.
Although this old man seems to be very trustworthy at present, how dare he give him a lot of money? And when others aren't here, who knows what he'll do with those beef cattle when the time comes?
"No problem, BOSS, I see."
Of course, Edmund knew what people meant, so he didn't say anything deeply.
"Actually, Edmond, I don't just want to start a ranch in Canada, I also want to start a ranch in China, this side is mainly for dairy cows, and over there is mainly for beef cattle, I don't know if you have any good recommendations for beef cattle?"
Seeing that Edmund was a little unhappy, Li Yifan said to him.
"So that's the case, BOSS, this is much easier, I don't know how big you plan to open a farm in Huaguo, and where else is the environment?"
As soon as Edmund mentioned the breeding industry, he came to the spirit, and his question really made Li Yifan a little embarrassed, the domestic breeding and animal husbandry environment, compared with this side, is simply a heaven and an underground, how to compare? (To be continued.) )
