The Industrial Giant Reborn

Over ten thousand meters in Texas, USA, a Boeing 747 is flying smoothly.

"Eric, I have to say that you really enjoy life. Such an airplane is like a castle in the air." Inside the 747 airplane, Henry Morgan looked at the luxurious interiors around him and experienced the beauty of the sofa he made. The touch of real leather can't help but say with emotion.

"You can also buy one to try." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile, tasting the wine in his hand.

After leaving Los Angeles, Chen Zhiwen rushed to Boeing's headquarters, where the aircraft has been decorated and is waiting for his acceptance.

The aircraft cost 55 million US dollars, and the overall decoration cost 12 million. For example, all the wood materials in the aircraft come from a tree at a height of 2,000 meters above sea level in the European Alps. It comes with a light fragrance that can last for several years without any harm to humans or animals.

All the leather on the seats in the plane comes from the belly of the crocodile on the African grassland, and there is a limit on the age of the crocodile. It is said that in order to achieve this goal, a European company has reached a cooperation with the local indigenous people to provide them with some modernization. Weapons, specially buy this kind of crocodile skin from them. But even so, the output is still very low. This kind of leather is mostly used in super luxury cars, but less used in airplanes.

There is also a special wine cabinet on the plane, which contains various red wine, wine, champagne and Maotai from Hong Kong, etc., and some prices can be exchanged for half a house in Hong Kong.

For Chen Zhiwen, even if he drank a few houses a day, he still can't keep up with the speed at which he is doing nothing and his wealth is growing. However, he is not addicted to alcohol, and just enjoys it with guests and friends when he needs it.

"I can't afford it." Henry Morgan said with a smile.

"You don't have to buy a 747. You can buy a Boeing 737. You can travel around Europe and the United States with an auxiliary fuel tank. Even if you go to Asia, you only need to add a flight in the middle. It's much better than those Gulfstreams." Chen Zhiwen said.

"I'm a little moved when you say that." Henry Morgan said with a smile. He used to be a first-class cabin, and occasionally a very small short-distance private jet, and he didn't feel much about the demand in this regard.

But now that I sit in this luxurious Boeing 747, I immediately feel that this is life.

"According to our ratio, you can make at least 50 million US dollars in net profit from the HSBC deal. You can get the 737 plus decorations for half of the time, and the other half of the aircraft is more than enough." Chen Zhiwen shrugged and said.

"That's not okay." Henry Morgan shook his head and said, "This matter is actually your idea, your idea, I just provide a little identity and a little money, no matter how much I should share, I only need half of it. "

"You are the least greedy capitalist I have ever seen." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.

"That's because I only take what I deserve. Only in this way can I have a long-term cooperation, isn't it?" Henry Morgan said with a shrug.

"That's right, that's good. Costco is ready to accept financing. I can prepare 2% for you. You estimate that you need to prepare about 30 million US dollars. Do you want to invest in this business?" Chen Zhiwen asked with a smile.

"Costco, this is a piece of fat, but I'm afraid I can't eat it by myself. In this way, I will pay half, and the other half, I will invite some friends from my family. How about it? This is also good for Costco. Many of these people in my family have strong influence in the political world, even if the president changes, they will not be affected." Henry Morgan said.

"Yes, no problem." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, it seems that Henry Morgan wants to use his own resources to develop his position in the family, but this is a win-win situation, and it is also beneficial to himself.

"Okay, let's talk about the plane. I'll just fly in your plane when I have a chance in the future. I'd better invest my funds in something." Henry Morgan said with a smile.

"That's fine, but you don't need to save too much. Our life is for enjoyment. You have distributed Midea game consoles in three states in the United States. Now the handheld game consoles have just started. The family game consoles that are about to be launched are the red and white consoles. Big head." Chen Zhiwen said with a light smile.

Although he was in the United States during this period, he could also rely on the satellite phone to remotely understand the situation in Hong Kong. The red and white machine has been tested many times and is going to be released in Hong Kong and Bay Bay first. Released in the US.

"I'm really looking forward to it." Henry Morgan nodded, looked at the large green area under the window, and said, "We should be there soon. We'll land at Fort Worth Airport later, and we'll be there in two hours by car."

"This Wager Farm, I checked the information, and it's a bit strange that they are willing to sell it. The international grain price has risen a lot recently, right? Isn't it time to make money?" Chen Zhiwen flipped over the table. information, asked again.

This time the group of them came to Texas because they were told that a super large farm here was intended to be sold.

As early as last year, Chen Zhiwen entrusted an intermediary in the United States to find a suitable large-scale farm. After more than a year of communication with the intermediary, the owner of this Wagga Farm seemed to have plans to sell, so Chen Zhiwen and Henry Morgan worked together to find a suitable large-scale farm. rushed over.

"International food prices are high, but this high price is due to the sales terminal, because the oil price has risen, and the transportation cost of snacks has also increased a lot. The wool comes from the sheep. In the end, when it reaches the farm, although the price has also increased a little, but not much. , and the current inflation is so severe and the interest rate is so high, most farms rely on loans to survive. With this high interest rate, even if the price of food rises, it cannot stop this interest. Therefore, when the price of food is soaring, However, many farms in the United States can only sell at low prices." Henry Morgan said with a smile.

"It seems that the banks will always be the winners." Chen Zhiwen said with a light smile. He has long heard that most of the farms in the United States are controlled by the banks. The initial investment cost, and even if some farms do not owe money, but the weather is bad in a certain year, it is enough to force the farmer to ask the bank for help.

Then there is the contract trap. Farmers do not have the ability to sell their grain, so they can only rely on grain middlemen who control the channels, such as the four famous ABCD grain merchants in later generations. These grain merchants lock the contract in advance, which can be regarded as giving some farmers A guarantee, but once there is a problem, the unlucky ones must still be vulnerable groups.

"The agricultural planting of the Wagga Farm is not very large, mainly relying on cattle grazing and a small amount of oil extraction, but what we know is that they are heavily in debt. The Wagga family has already sold other properties in exchange for commercial loans, but the specifics I don’t know how much their family owes, and we don’t know how many banks are involved,” said Henry Morgan.

"In that case, it's not bad." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.

Using a Boeing 747 as a private jet is also an incredible thing for the scheduling of American airports. After multiple confirmations, the scheduling of Fort Worth arranged for this large plane to land and lead it to a dedicated VIP channel. Everyone at the airport knew that it must be a big shot.

However, the "big man" didn't have any communication with Tian and the others. After saying a few polite words, he left.

After another two hours' journey, they finally arrived at their destination - Wagga Farm.

This is one of the largest farms in the world and one of the most valuable farms. Some of the larger ones, such as those in Australia, are far less valuable in development. They can only be used to grow some potatoes or raise wild cattle and sheep, or even a lot of farms. It is still in the Gobi area, and there is not even much grass.

For their group, there are naturally people here to greet them. They saw a few middle-aged white men in short-sleeved denim waiting in front of a manor.

The car stopped at the door, and Henry Morgan, Chen Zhiwen and a group of bodyguards came down.

"Hello, Mr. Morgan, this must be Mr. Chen." A leading man came over and said, "Welcome to Wagga Farm, I am Dan Wagga, the farmer here, and these guys are mine. family."

"Hello, Mr. Wagga." Chen Zhiwen shook hands politely, but he felt that the strength in the opponent's hand was very strong. This was not intentional, and maybe this strength is often used to it.

"Just call me Dan." Dan Wager said with a smile: "Several, please come in first, this is one of the manor houses on our farm."

Henry Morgan looked at the magnificent manor in front of him and asked, "How many manors like this are there on this farm?"

"More than a dozen buildings are published in different places on the farm, mainly because our farm is too big, there are fields and rivers in the middle, and the road is not as good as the highway. If you drive, it will take more than an hour from east to west. There are many manors. It’s a little more convenient for daily living.” Dan Wager said with a smile.

"I read that the information shows that this farm has 500,000 acres?" Henry Morgan asked as he walked.

"To be precise, it is 511,500 acres." Dan Wager explained with a smile.

"This area is really big enough." Henry Morgan said with a smile.

Chen Zhiwen, who was behind him, couldn't help but have the same thought in his heart. An acre used by Americans is almost 6 mu, and 500,000 acres is 3 million mu, which is almost 2,000 square kilometers.

This is a real super farm, the size of which is rare in the world, which is equivalent to the area of ​​2 Hong Kong, or 1.3 Yanjing City. The small farm he bought in Brazil before is also bigger than Hong Kong Island (80 square kilometers, very Hong Kong) is larger.

The most important thing is that this farm has enough water rights. Several rivers pass through this farm. As long as the water is not pumped too much, no one cares. Moreover, this place has been run by the Wag family for a hundred years, and many infrastructures are very complete. In the information I read before, it shows that this farm is mainly based on cattle herding. It has more than 10,000 beef cattle and its own slaughterhouse. A very small piece of land is planted with corn, and most of the other places are empty. , because the Wagga family has no ability to develop it.

After chatting for a while, Chen Zhiwen learned that the area of ​​the manor was more than 50,000 square meters, surrounded by iron railings and barbed wire to avoid the threat of carnivores that might exist, and inside were various green trees and gardens. There is also an Olympic-sized swimming pool at the rear.

There is basically no talk about land prices here. Several other manors are not as big as this, but they are not small, and some have many more, basically for the long-term workers on the farm.

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Morgan, it's 3 o'clock in the afternoon, why don't we go hunting?" Shan Wage said with a smile: "I know that the two of you must have compensated for all kinds of delicious food, but the prey hunted in the wild will be barbecued wildly." , you probably haven’t tried it?”

"No, what animals are we hunting?" Chen Zhiwen asked with some interest.

"We have some deer, sheep, pheasants, geese, etc. on our farm. As long as they are not prohibited by law, they can be hunted. You are basically assured that there are at most small wolves on the farm, which will not pose any threat to us." Dan Wa Greg said.

"Okay, let's try it." Henry Morgan also seemed to be quite interested.

The scenery of Wagga Farm is really beautiful. In this season, tens of thousands of swans of an unknown species gathered on the rivers and lakes in the middle to eat fish everywhere.

"I originally planned to change this place into a large-scale fishing ground, but after thinking about it, the investment is too large, and there are too many fish-eating birds, so it's over." After getting off the helicopter, Wa Ge took Chen Zhiwen A group of people said after they came to the lake.

"The beautiful scenery is good if it attracts tourists." Chen Zhiwen said.

"No, tourists will only turn this place into a garbage dump. Don't overestimate the quality of ordinary people." Dan Wager shook his head and said, "There will be many animals by the lake, and we can hunt here."

After speaking, he prepared his shotgun, and as he predicted, a group of antelopes soon came. Dan Wager's marksmanship was very good, and after two shots, several antelopes were knocked down, and the rest were all scared away.

And his men also caught two pheasants nearby and a few fish from the lake, so a group of people started to grill.

Naturally, the boss didn't need to do this kind of thing himself. Dan Wager, Henry Morgan, and Chen Zhiwen came to a rock by the river.

"Mr. Chen, what do you think of my farm?" Dan Wager asked with a smile.

"Very good, the environment is very good. I have to say that this farm has been turned into a paradise on earth by your family." Chen Zhiwen said with a light smile. The helicopter just flew over the farm for an hour, basically seeing the whole farm.

"In fact, our family's financial resources are not enough to develop this large piece of land. As long as we are willing to invest money, it can easily raise hundreds of thousands of cattle, a large amount of corn, wheat and other crops, and the oil fields in the northwest can also be For greater development, if Mr. Chen is willing to invest, the return will definitely not be low." Dan Watt said with a smile.

"If hundreds of thousands of cattle are herded, the water source here will not be enough." Chen Zhiwen asked.

"The existing ones are not enough, but there is no shortage of rain in Texas. There are also several rivers in our farm, and we can dig a few lakes to store water. In this way, the water will be enough. In fact, our family has such a plan decades ago. Yes, but the funds are insufficient, we have even invited relevant experts to guide us, and we have design drawings, if Mr. Chen buys our farm, these will be given to you as a gift." Dan Wager said.

"Then what price do you want?" Chen Zhiwen asked with a smile. Dezhou is known as the hometown of cowboys. Since ancient times, animal husbandry has been developed, and there is basically no shortage of rain here. Therefore, the farms here are the top quality.

"$200 million," Danvager said.

"This price is still too expensive." Chen Zhiwen shook his head and said.

"It's not cheap, but it's 500,000 acres, bigger than any city in the United States. In this area, you are the only owner here. All the animals are yours. This feeling is definitely not something other businesses can do. Comparable." Dan Wager said with a smile: "As for the price, let's make our respective agency fees worthwhile. Today, we mainly come out to enjoy life. The boys' barbecue is almost ready, let's go together Try it."

"Yes." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, the largest farm in the United States, with a transaction volume of hundreds of millions of dollars, comparable to a medium-sized listed company, the two sides naturally hired a professional team to negotiate, this time Chen Zhiwen came here in person, just first Come and have a look, the follow-up is the beginning of the transaction between the two parties.

The venison after grilling has a unique flavor. It is obvious that this group of people are experts in grilling frequently. With various seasonings, while watching the beautiful scenery and blowing the breeze, it is an absolute holy place for camping.

If you have children in the future, this place twice as large as Hong Kong is very suitable for vacation.

PS: Regarding the family, it should be coming soon, but based on the situation of this book and the current status of the protagonist, it will be very difficult to write about the heroine, and I have experienced it before.

It makes sense to write about a star heroine being criticized because an actor is not worthy of the leading role.

Writing about a rich second-generation heroine was still criticized, saying that the protagonist does not need to rely on other people, why did he find another wealthy family?

Writing an original heroine was even more criticized, saying that Rebirth Hong Kong actually wrote an original.

I'm numb, so I didn't write anything at the beginning of this book, but the protagonist is also 30, and it's almost time to start a family. Let me think about how to operate it, and everyone can give me some advice.
