Chapter 262: 1 Wave of Return
On the other side, Ehou Xiaoge didn't take the conversation between Master He Youde and his apprentice to heart. After all, his purpose of visiting the Qing Gang's dock was not to ask them for help, but to avoid provoking him.
"Xiao Nao, let's go to your restaurant. I'm craving for臊子面." Hou Xiaoge said while sitting in the back seat with his eyes closed.
"okay!"
When we arrived at the restaurant, Zhang Juncai was not there. He was helping Hou Xiaoge recruit people.
Hou Xiaoge didn't look for Zhang Juncai either. After eating a meal of臊子面 in the restaurant, he went straight back to Anxin Farm.
Many Chinese people had already come to the restaurant at this time, most of them were from the Northwest, and some were relatives and friends brought by the Huang Jiasheng brothers.
After everyone arrived at the farm, they began to live in rooms around the cowboy cabin according to their families. Those who were not assigned dormitories or houses used local materials under the command of Rouse.
The Chinese people, especially farmers, do not all farm the land. They have been producers in various industries since ancient times.
Carpenters, bricklayers, all kinds of workers were there, and the residential area suddenly became a big construction site.
"Boss, you're here?" Seeing Hou Xiaoge riding a horse over, Laus and Huang Jiafa came up to greet him with a smile.
"Well done. Do you need any help?" Hou Xiaoge asked with a smile as he looked at the busy crowd.
"Boss, you Chinese are really hardworking, and everyone knows a skill. If we build a house ourselves, we can save a lot of money, which is really cost-effective.
But I think we may need some financial support. In addition to buying an excavator and a bulldozer, we also need to purchase some bricks and tools." Rolls said to Hou Xiaoge excitedly.
“The money problem will be solved tomorrow, and then we can purchase any machinery the farm needs.
Of course, the calf money you have been talking about will also be allocated to you." Hou Xiaoge said with a smile.
"That's great. I, Rolls, am happy to have such a dedicated boss." Rolls grinned.
"You bastard, I want you to be happy." Hou Xiaoge laughed and cursed in his heart.
"Afa, how many people have come here now? How are you? Are you adapting?" Hou Xiaoge asked Huang Jiafa who was standing beside him.
"Boss, we have to adapt. How can we not adapt? When we first arrived in the morning, Manager Rouse treated us to a beef stew, which made us very happy.
Now the 100 people who are working have all arrived, and 15 guards have also arrived. The remaining Zhang has gone to the railway to recruit people, and he should be back tomorrow." Huang Jiafa reported.
“That’s right, lead everyone to work hard, I see there are still dozens of children.
You should tell the parents not to let their children go to the waterside and play with the cattle. If something goes wrong, it will be hard to explain to anyone." Hou Xiaoge said, looking at the thirty or forty children playing in the distance and a group of teenagers helping their parents.
"Boss, got it. I have one more thing to report.
I asked the older kids to help, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to eat rice all day, as these kids eat as much as adults.” Huang Jiafa smiled like a lackey of the capitalist.
"Yes, let these little ones do some work as appropriate. After all, who among us didn't do some work at home when we were young? This can also help cultivate the children's willpower to endure hardships and stand hard work.
Of course, we are not employing child labor, and we cannot pay these children wages, but we can occasionally support them with textbook expenses and snacks." Hou Xiaoge thought of the iron rice bowl model in China.
The farm is yours, so it's impossible to have a stable job, but you can still solve the worries of those who work for you.
As long as they work hard, the farm will not only provide them with food and accommodation, but also provide for their families. Who wouldn't work hard with such treatment?
"Ross, how was the inspection of Billy Farm by the people from the law firm and the financial firm today?" Hou Xiaoge asked Ross.
"They have already made a budget for the value of the farm, and there are no legal disputes. Lawyer David, Lawyer Luo, and Accountant Haley are still at Billy's farm," said Rouse.
"Okay, let's go over and take a look. I'll pay for the yacht at the same time." Hou Xiaoge nodded.
After entering Billy's Farm, there was naturally a round of greetings between them, and then Hou Xiaoge first paid the bill for the yacht.
"Mr. David, we have calculated the market value of Billy's farm. Here is the price list. You can take a look at it." Haley took out a form and handed it to Hou Xiaoge.
Hou Xiaoge picked up the list. In addition to the specific price of the money, it also included Billy's financial situation, market environment analysis, and farm prospects analysis. It was very comprehensive.
"Mr. Billy, what do you think about the price of 1.45 million US dollars?
If you agree to this price, we can sign the contract today and I can pay tomorrow." After making a budget in his mind, Hou Xiaoge decided to go with the price given by the accountant.
"Can't it be any higher? The loss will be too great at this price." Billy said with a dark face.
"Mr. Billy, for such a big deal, few people can pay on the third day after signing the contract.
If you are not satisfied, then the 1.6 million US dollars you mentioned is also fine, but I want to pay it off by the end of the year." Hou Xiaoge said with a smile.
"No, by the end of the year, my position will explode." Billy stood up anxiously.
“So, I think 1.45 million is about right.
After all, my lawyer and accountant gave me a month to pay, but I was generous and only paid within three days.
I think no one is more sincere than me, don't you think I'm right? Mr. Billy." Hou Xiaoge was sure of the other party.
"Okay! You win, one million, four hundred and fifty thousand, payable within three days, and Billy Farm is yours, Mr. David." Billy walked back and forth in the living room, struggling for a while, and finally made a decision.
"OK, I am honest in doing business." Hou Xiaoge smiled and stretched out his hand.
Rolls, who was standing by, watched the boss speak so nonchalantly, as if millions of US dollars were just over a hundred yuan, and the deal was done in just over ten minutes.
Both parties signed the contract but no money was paid. After all, there were only three days, and Billy just needed to move his belongings in these three days.
"David, Haley, I hope you can use your connections to lobby the owner of Sweetheart Farm. I hope all the farms in this area belong to Kent Farm." After signing the contract, Hou Xiaoge told several lawyers and financial officers about his other task.
"You are the financial sponsor, so David Law Firm will naturally serve you."
"The same goes for Luo Hao Law Firm!"
"The same goes for Haley's Financial Office!"
In the past few days, several companies have earned tens of thousands of US dollars from Hou Xiaoge. They are naturally happy about the business coming to them.
"Ok!"
"There is another job in the afternoon, Haley, please contact Manager Reagan of JPMorgan Chase Bank. Kent Farm has a batch of goods that need to be reported to customs and taxes paid." Hou Xiaoge looked at his watch. There were only two hours left before the agreed transaction time.
"Good sir!"
Billy Farm now nominally belongs to Hou Xiaoge. Because there is no dry road leading directly to the dock from Kent Farm, Hou Xiaoge drove the yacht directly to Billy Farm.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, more than a dozen large trucks arrived at the gate of Kent Farm.
"Let's go, Manager Reagan. Let's take a look at the goods first and let the drivers drive directly to Billy's Farm." Hou Xiaoge got in the car and asked everyone to follow.
"Oh! Manager Reagan, these tungsten metals are all forged products. They are of better quality than those made in many factories. Forty-eight thousand dollars is worth it.
These bristles, as well as the tung oil, are all top-grade products and worth the price we offer." Several testing experts came out with their instruments to report after a test.
"OK, let's do the deal directly!" Reagan was very satisfied when he saw the shiny black tungsten rods.
Although Hou Xiaoge found it easy to carry the 74 tons of supplies, it was still inconvenient to move them.
Fortunately, Reagan and his brothers and sisters, plus the men on the farm, nearly two hundred people, loaded all the goods into the truck in less than two hours.
"Mr. David, because these materials are now strategic materials, their import is duty-free, and we have already informed the customs.
I will pay you for these goods according to the price Mr. Peter said! No tax will be deducted. "After weighing them on the big iron scale on the farm, Reagan came to Hou Xiaoge and said with a smile.
"No tax? That's great." Hou Xiaoge was also delighted. He could save $200,000.
"Mr. David, the total price of these goods is 1,824,125. I'll round it up for you to 1,822,500." Reagan took out a price list and handed it to Hou Xiaoge.
