Chapter 480: Tortuous Negotiations
The ranch contains a forest farm, and Shen Xixue knows about this, because the information given by Yuntong to this ranch mentions this.
It's just that it doesn't make it clear how big the forest farm is, and there are restrictions that don't allow arbitrary cutting, so that the purchase of this pasture is equivalent to taking care of the forest farm for the new country.
If there is a problem in the forest farm, the pasture will also be implicated, and this is the most critical place.
Shen Xixue asked puzzledly: "It's just a piece of woodland, why are the requirements so strict?"
If it weren't for Lu Yao's careful exploration of that woodland with his divine sense, he wouldn't have been able to contact this, generally speaking, the tropical rainforests of Xinguo are very rich, and the cutting down of trees is not particularly strict, but sometimes, there are always unexpected situations.
Lu Yao smiled bitterly: "Because in this woodland, there is a rare tree in the new world, the kauri, which is one of the oldest tree species in the world and the second largest tree in the world, second only to the redwoods in the United States. ”
"No matter where you are in the new country, as long as there are kauri trees, it is a woodland reserve, and no trees in the woodland are allowed to be cut down, and the environment in which the kauri grows must be protected. ”
Shen Xixue suddenly realized: "I see, but in this way, isn't it very bad for our ranch? We have to help protect these precious trees, and we will invest a lot." ”
Lu Yao suddenly smiled mysteriously: "That's not necessarily, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, how can this kind of thing be said well? Leave the woodland business alone, and take down the pastures and fishing grounds first. ”
Although Shen Xixue didn't know what medicine was sold in Lu Yao's gourd, since he said so, he must have a way to deal with it. Thinking of the kauri that he didn't even know about, but he knew everything about it, she was even less worried.
What she has to do is how to take this pasture and fishing ground at the lowest cost when she negotiates tomorrow.
The next morning, after Lu Yao and the others had breakfast, Erin, the manager of the New Dairy Company in charge of the negotiation, walked in.
Erin is a beautiful woman of the same age as Shen Xixue, and she is still a new Chinese, but she immigrated relatively early, she immigrated with her father, and has lived in the new country for almost 20 years, which is an authentic new countryman.
The New Dairy Company also saw that Erin was proficient in both Chinese, so it transferred her over to take charge of the negotiations.
Erin walked in and greeted everyone with a smile: "Good morning, Mr. Shen, and all friends who have come from afar. ”
When Lu Yao came, he instructed Shen Xixue and the others not to reveal his identity for the time being, so Erin didn't know that Lu Yao was the chairman of the company.
Shen Xixue stretched out her hand to shake Erin, and said with the same smile: "Good morning, Manager Erin." ”
Erin said, "I wonder how you feel about breakfast? These are all ingredients from our ranch and fishery. ”
Shen Xixue nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good! The environment of Xinguo is good, and all kinds of food are also very delicious." ”
Erin smiled: "It's good that Mr. Shen likes it, is there anything else you want to see today?"
Shen Xixue shook her head and said: "No, we have been out for a long time, and the company still has many things waiting for me to go back to deal with, so let's enter the negotiation process as soon as possible." ”
Erin smiled and said, "Okay, then please come with me to the conference room." ”
Since the two sides have reached a consensus that one wants to sell and the other wants to buy, the issue of negotiation now is nothing more than the issue of price.
At first, Erin offered a price of S$50 million for the ranch and S$60 million for the fishery, adding up to almost S$100 million.
This price was naturally rejected by Shen Xixue without hesitation, just kidding, 100 million Singapore dollars, and the exchange of Huaxia coins is almost 520 million.
The area of this pasture is almost 2,400 hectares, but its forest land area is almost 3,400 hectares, and the area that really belongs to the pasture is only more than 2,000 hectares, which will cost nearly 100 million Chinese dollars.
And the fishing grounds along the 20 kilometre coastline are not worth S$60 million at all, and S$40 million worth can be considered.
Shen Xixue righteously refused: "Ms. Erin, your price is too high, we can't accept it. ”
Erin was surprised: "This price is already very reasonable and fair, how can it be high?"
Shen Xixue raised her index finger and shook it: "No, your offer is very insincere. As far as I know, the price of the best pasture in New Zealand is only more than S$2,300 per hectare, and the price you quoted me for this pasture has reached S$2,000 per hectare, do you think the price is reasonable?"
Erin said quietly: "Our ranch qualifications are not very bad, not to mention that there is also a good fishing ground, this price is actually very reasonable." ”
Shen Xixue suddenly stood up and said with a smile: "Manager Erin, if you don't negotiate in good faith, then there is no need for us to continue talking." As far as I know, the price that your company used to put up was only S$1,500 a hectare, and now we are here, but the price has suddenly increased to S$2,000, is this your sincerity?"
Erin was slightly shocked in her heart, she didn't expect Shen Xixue to investigate so clearly, so it seemed impossible to kill them.
Thinking of the instructions given by the head office to sell the ranch and fishery as soon as possible in exchange for a sum of money to invest in other projects, Erin had no choice but to dispel the original idea and began to negotiate seriously.
"S$1,500 is last year's price, and this year, the price of pastures in the new country has rebounded, so naturally it will rise a little bit, so that the pastures will be S$1,600 a hectare. Erin threw out a price.
"It's still too high, we can only give 1,201 hectares. Shen Xixue said categorically.
"Impossible!" Erin rejected Shen Xixue's offer without thinking about it, the lowest price given by the head office was 1,501 hectares, if the price was lower, they would have sold it a long time ago, how could they wait until now?
Shen Xixue took out an information document from the briefcase she was carrying, handed it to Erin, and said with a smile: "Manager Erin, please look at this document first, and know whether our company's quotation is reasonable and fair?"
Erin took it and looked at it, her face suddenly changed, she couldn't speak for a long time, and then said in a bitter voice for a long time: "Mr. Shen, please wait a while, I will report this to the headquarters to see how the headquarters instructs." ”
Shen Xixue shrugged and said, "Manager Erin, please feel free, we will stay in Xinguo for two days, and then we will transfer to Australia, where there are still two pastures waiting for us to investigate." ”
When Erin heard this, she suddenly felt even more bitter in her heart.
