[073] In-depth cooperation
After returning to the farmhouse where he was staying, Zhu Mingli and Yan Kuan sent Zhu Xu back to Haizhou, asking him to start raising funds and contact Jinghu Company to prepare for the loan. However, compared with the simple loan plan before, this time, "Long Xiangrui" tried to acquire shares of Jinghu Company, and the two parties carried out more in-depth cooperation.
Although Zhu Xu was a little puzzled about the two old men making such a sudden decision after they went out, he has always been subordinates with strong execution ability. He took the two entourages away from Ginkgo Village without asking why.
The two old men stayed in Ginkgo Village and were ready to relax here for a while. Anyway, they had gradually let go of the specific business of "Long Xiangrui". If the amount of the loan was not too huge, the two old men would not have visited Ginkgo Village in person.
They plan to take this opportunity to gradually withdraw from the daily business of "Long Xiangrui" and start to enjoy their old age.
Xiao Feng didn't know that while he was still worried about financing, things had changed by 180 degrees.
It can be said that the reason why Zhu Mingli and Yan Kuan agreed to raise funds from Jinghu Company was completely shocked by the huge art collection of Xiao’s family.
…………
When Xiao Feng met Zhu Xu again at Yaozhou Airport, it was already mid-October. This time, Zhu Xu brought a whole team to prepare to negotiate with Jinghu Company on issues such as financing and equity investment.
As a comparative business reception, Xiao Feng led Yang Yuanhang and Ma Wanli to pick up the plane at Yaozhou Airport. Xiao Qiang, Xiao Dazhi and others also appeared at the airport as followers.
Jinghu Company, which has already started to be on track, is not as shabby as before. In the fleet of picking up the car, two Cherokees were the new cars of Yang Yuanhang and Ma Wanli, and the Sever became the special cars of Xiao Qiang and Xiao Dazhi. In addition, a brand new Jinlong 17-seat minibus is also in the fleet of picking up the car, which is the reception car of Jinghu Company.
It can be said that after obtaining a large amount of capital investment from Xiao Feng, Jinghu Company has escaped from the dilemma of being stretched, which can be regarded as a shotgun replacement, showing the pomp of a large company.
Zhu Xu, who was knowledgeable in Jinghu Company, was naturally unmoved. He had seen more luxurious fleets in Haizhou and welcomed the crowd on a larger scale, so Jinghu Company could only be regarded as a pediatric department. However, what Zhu Xu cares about was that Xiao Feng appeared among the people who picked up the plane, which demonstrated the importance of Xiao Feng to this negotiation.
If it were before, Zhu Xu's sense of Xiao Feng would be at most a lucky person. As the direct heir to the largest shareholder family of "Long Xiangrui", Zhu Xu has his own pride. However, after learning that the Xiao Feng family's background is not weaker than that of the Zhu family, Zhu Xu gradually regarded Xiao Feng as a kind of person, and his attention increased sharply.
"Brother Zhu, welcome to Yaozhou!" At the airport gate, Xiao Feng and Zhu Xu's hands were tightly clasped together.
In the past, the few meetings with Zhu Xu were just a simple business relationship. This time, Xiao Feng welcomed Zhu Xu, the chief negotiator of "Long Xiangrui", as the largest shareholder of the Jinghu Group, and the meaning was completely different.
From a certain perspective, the meeting with Zhu Xu at the airport is of historic significance!
"Xiaofeng, you have hidden me so much!" Zhu Xu's big hand grabbed Xiao Feng, shook it up and down and said, "I heard that there is a lot of wild game in Ginkgo Village. You have to treat me to a big meal when you look back!"
After deciding to raise funds for Jinghu Company, Zhu Xu, who is in Haizhou, learned about Jinghu Company and Jinghu Scenic Area through the Internet. He learned about many situations in Ginkgo Village from Jinghu Company's website and Tianya Forum posts.
As a senior gourmet, Zhu Xu has eaten a lot of good food, but due to the environment and geographical location in Haizhou, fresh wild game is hard to eat. This time, when he came to Ginkgo Village to participate in the negotiations, Zhu Xu not only shouldered the heavy responsibility, but also planned to taste the wild game in Biluo Snow Mountain after the matter was completed.
"There is no problem with this!" Xiao Feng agreed casually without hesitation: "If Brother Zhu, you can walk, I will take you into the mountains to hunt, which is even more interesting!"
Putting aside loans and not mentioning financing, Xiao Feng's impression of Zhu Xu is also quite good. After all, it is precisely because of Zhu Xu and Xiao Feng's gold bricks were able to take action so smoothly, laying a good foundation for the development of Jinghu Company and Jinghu Ranch.
No matter what the result of this financing negotiation, Xiao Feng will treat Zhu Xu well both public and private, so that he can feel the warm and welcoming tradition of the southwestern border and various wonderful delicacies.
After saying hello to Zhu Xu, Xiao Feng introduced Yang Yuanhang and Ma Wanli, executive presidents of Jinghu Company and Jinghu Ranch, to Zhu Xu, and asked them to get to know each other before the negotiations.
After the greetings, the group boarded the bus and left Yaozhou Airport and headed straight for Ginkgo Village.
This time, "Long Xiangrui" sent experts in the fields of finance, law, business negotiations, etc., with a total of more than 15 people, which shows that "Long Xiangrui" attaches great importance to this negotiation.
After the convoy left the airport, it did not enter Yaozhou city, but directly boarded the S225 on the ring road. After all, the core content of this negotiation was Jinghu Company, and there was no need to stay in Yaozhou.
When the convoy arrived at Ginkgo Village, it was already dusk. Xiao Feng asked the staff of Jinghu Company to settle all the staff of the "Long Xiangrui" team, and rest for a night before starting the negotiations.
…………
The negotiation venue was placed in the large conference room of the Ginkgo Village Committee. After all, the office building of Jinghu Company has not been completed yet, and the entire Ginkgo Village really cannot find a suitable negotiation venue.
Xiao Feng did not attend the negotiations. He handed over the work to Yang Yuanhang for handling. He just gave Yang Yuanhang the bottom line for negotiations. He would not interfere too much in the specific negotiation process.
After getting up in the morning, Xiao Feng drove Seif to Jinghu Ranch as usual to check the progress of the ranch construction. For most of the past half month, he has been like this almost every day.
Now the periphery of Jinghu Valley has completely changed. The originally yellowed grasslands have been reclaimed, revealing the dark-brown alpine meadow soil.
Jinghu Pasture belongs to the alpine meadow area. Its soil is composed of alpine meadow soil with humus and a small amount of weathered rock, which is completely different from the soil in the plain area.
Since the alpine meadow area will experience frozen soil after winter, the renovation plan of Jinghu Ranch must be completed before November, and all special forage seeds need to be planted before this.
In order to seize the time, the tractor had just finished rotating the pasture, and the seeds followed behind and began to plant the forage seeds transformed by Xiao Feng with Space Spirit Spring on the pasture.
As of today, more than 4,000 acres of pasture have been planted with space grass, and the remaining 1,000 acres of pasture will be all planted within the next five days.
These days, Xiao Feng has been in the pasture all day long. Not only does he want to check the progress of the pasture construction, but more importantly, he needs to put space spiritual springs into the water source of the pasture to ensure the smooth growth of the space grass.
Just soaking the seeds with the space spiritual spring will not be able to grow the best forage in the world. Therefore, Xiao Feng still needs to use the continuous space spiritual spring to irrigate the pasture to achieve his goal.
Fortunately, most of the ground water in Jinghu Valley comes from a mountain lake at the highest point in the northern part of the valley. Xiao Feng only needs to put enough space in this lake to make it.
Judging from the situation over the past ten days, the water source that seeps into the space spiritual spring has had a huge impact on the plants in the entire Jinghu Valley. The increasingly cold weather seems to have no effect on the plants in the valley. All the grasslands are still lush and green.
Even Xiao Feng, the initiator, could not be sure what kind of changes the Space Spirit Spring would bring to Jinghu Valley. Perhaps some clues can be read in the spring next year.
In addition to forage planting, the most important task of Jinghu Ranch is to build a cow pen that can accommodate 20,000 cows, a matching barn, milking workshop, etc. This is not a small project. Fortunately, Jinghu Ranch has sufficient funds now, and the construction of these infrastructures is progressing quite smoothly. According to Ma Wanli's estimate, the basic projects will be completed before the first snowfall.
Now, Ma Wanli has begun to order 20,000 and a half-large Chinese Holstein cows from the best cow breeding center in China through his own connections, and is ready to send them to Jinghu Ranch in batches after the climate warms up in spring.
The development of Jinghu Ranch is changing with each passing day. Although it has not yet introduced a cow, its rapid rise has been fully demonstrated.
…………
The negotiations between Jinghu Company and "Long Xiangrui" were in extremely fierce, and both sides continued to stick to each other's positions and did not give in.
As for Xiao Feng, he rarely interferes in the specific process of negotiations. He just listens to Yang Yuanhang's report every night and grasps the bottom line and direction of negotiations.
Although the differences in negotiations between the two sides were a bit big, their willingness to cooperate was quite strong, which also laid a good foundation for the continued negotiations. In the end, after nearly a week of difficult negotiations, Jinghu Company and "Long Xiangrui" finally reached a cooperation agreement.
"Long Xiangrui" provided a loan of 200 million to Jinghu Company with an annual interest rate of 10%, which is higher than ordinary commercial loans, but it is within the range that Xiao Feng can bear. At the cost, Xiao Feng transferred 30% of the shares to "Long Xiangrui" for a price of 45 million, which also means that "Long Xiangrui" has become the second largest shareholder of Jinghu Company.
The reason why "Long Xiangrui" is willing to offer such a high premium for Jinghu Company's shares is nothing more than focusing on the future development prospects of Jinghu Scenic Area. In just less than three months, the market value of Jinghu Company, which Xiao Feng invested 50 million, has doubled, reaching 150 million.
Once this news was disclosed, Ginkgo Village suddenly became excited because the 15% stake in Jinghu Company owned by Ginkgo Village increased to 22.5 million in a short period of time.
The signing of the cooperation agreement shows that the development of Jinghu Company has entered a new era, and Jinghu Ranch, which has obtained sufficient funds, will show stronger strength after the beginning of spring!
Chapter completed!
