Chapter 141 Brother Dong? !
Afternoon sunny to cloudy, the sky began to light rain.

Andy, an old cowboy who went to Australia, took the time to call Suri.

He was on the phone and told:

"I am currently at the Anxi Cattle Farm in central Australia. The area here is exaggerated, covering more than 2 square kilometers, which is equivalent to 240 million football fields. It takes seven or eight days to patrol around on horseback, but only cattle With more than 2000 head of cattle."

Su Rui was stunned, and asked through the mobile phone: "What's going on? The cattle are sold out?"

"No, this place is too arid. Raising a little more cattle may turn it into a barren desert. The land's ability to carry livestock is too weak."

Old Andy coughed twice and added:
"This year they tried to raise more cows. It seems that they are about to face some fines, so they tried to sell them in advance. This batch of half-sized Wagyu cows is a bit thin, but they are in good health. If they are fed with more grains after they are sent to the cargo ship, they will grow meat. The speed will be very fast, and the rancher promised to sell us a maximum of [-] small Wagyu cattle, but the transportation is not very convenient, and the shipping cost is a bit high.”

Su Rui responded quickly and said:
"As long as the price is right, buy them. My father is running an online shopping business, and he will need a lot of high-quality beef in the future. At that time, he will produce and sell himself through online and offline stores, and his profits will be higher than other ranches. , It’s still raining on Lanai now, the pastures are growing very well, and there are only more than 1000 cows currently being raised, which is a bit of a waste of resources.”

"I will talk to the owner here again. It is best to find a closer freight terminal. The price of land transportation in Australia is much higher than that of sea transportation. We must first ensure that we can make a profit from it."

Old Andy, the big housekeeper, did not relax the management of the Lanai Ranch just because Su Rui was too rich.

Check out recent earnings reports from across Lanai.

You will find that Su Rui's plan to vigorously develop the tourism industry is more in line with the actual situation of this island.

As the sixth largest island in Hawaii, Lanai Ranch naturally has the foundation to attract tourists, with a comfortable climate and beautiful scenery.

It takes about 18 to 24 months for a young Angus calf to be slaughtered without using hormones, and the net profit it can bring to Su Rui is almost equivalent to selling eight tourist packages.

The total amount of water on Lanai is limited, which limits the total size of livestock, but tourists do not take up too many resources on the island.

Compared with the labor and time cost of raising cattle and sheep, the tourism industry is easier, and there is no conflict between these two projects, and they can both contribute to the revenue of Lanai Island.

The group of people who used to joke that Su Rui spent half of his net worth to buy a pineapple island will soon stop laughing.

As long as it proves that its business model is sustainable and can continue to make a steady stream of profits, the value of Lanai will soar.
The song that took too long to write in the morning.

Su Rui was drinking a cocktail in the afternoon and resting in the coconut grove by the coast.

Lying in the hammock with Daddario, chatting with each other, swiping the phone to watch the news to pass the time.

Since hiring bodyguards.

Their biggest task is to stop tourists who try to get close, otherwise, no matter where they go, someone will try to talk to Su Rui. There is no private space to speak of, which is quite a headache.

Now bodyguards will remind tourists to stop them from coming uninvited on the grounds that they are resting or have something to do, which has reduced meaningless communication by at least 90%.

While a bodyguard was distracted, he caught a glimpse of two people approaching from the corner of his eye, and subconsciously reached out to stop them.

After seeing each other's faces clearly, I realized that one of them was Su Rui's father. He quickly withdrew his hand and said hello, "Mr. Su, you are too young. I thought it was some college student fan just now. It looks like you are only 30 at most. around age."

Father Su laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, gestured for a gun, and replied:

"Thanks to my new coach, I'm keeping fit through sports and maybe starting a football team, so you can join if you're interested."

Hear movement.

Su Rui turned his head to say hello, but when he saw who was next to his father, he shook the wine glass in his hand and almost spilled it on his body.

Although the other party looks a bit young now, but I can confirm the eyes, it is the man who will win the milk tea sister in the future.

Just when Su Rui was wondering why Brother Dong would appear, his father introduced with a smile:
"This Liu Dong is from the Mainland and is also engaged in online shopping business. He mainly builds a platform similar to Amazon. An old friend introduced him to me and said that the potential of the project is very good, and he can help me think of something The planning of the Green Sea Turtle online shopping mall gave me good advice on logistics transit warehouses."

Liu Dong politely extended his hand to Su Rui, and told him:
"Actually, it doesn't help much. It's just a trick. Boss Xiaosu's idea of ​​new retail e-commerce is obviously very suitable for the situation in Hawaii."

Su Rui stood up with difficulty, put on his slippers while shaking hands, and said to Liu Dong:
"I know you. The company is called Dongjing Mall, right. Last year, it received 1000 million US dollars in financing. What is the current turnover? How is the valuation?"

As soon as the words came out.

Both Papa Su and Liu Dong were surprised.

Even knowing the company name and financing situation shows that Su Rui is really not being polite and knows something about this company.

The main purpose of Liu Dong's trip to the United States this time is to find financing for Dongjing Mall. Recently, he is in the trough period brought about by the financial crisis. The few venture capital companies he contacted are not interested in the small-scale Dongjing Mall. .

It just so happened that Papa Su knew a lot of friends. Someone knew that he had cashed out a large sum of money in the past few months and was very rich, so he introduced Liu Dong to him.

It's a coincidence to say it.

If he hadn't purchased the Green Sea Turtle Online Shopping Mall, Papa Su probably wouldn't be interested in such a small project as Dongjing Mall.

After all, Taobao on the other side is now in full swing, and this year's turnover is expected to break through the full 1000 billion yuan mark.

According to the experience of Silicon Valley, after the market share of more than [-]% is taken by Taobao.com, it is difficult for the remaining companies of the same type to develop again.

Thinking of taking the opportunity to communicate with his peers, Father Su arranged for today's meeting, and it was just by chance that Su Rui met Brother Dong on Lanai Island.

Liu Dong knew very well that the father and son in front of him were both very rich.

Especially Su Rui, who held a party in Los Angeles a few days ago, and even the founders of Google and Facebook went to join him, so that in the past few days, he can often hear people in Silicon Valley talking about Netflix Entertainment.

Seeing that Su Rui seemed a little interested, Liu Dong immediately introduced:

"The turnover of our Dongjing Mall this year has exceeded 7000 billion yuan. Although this figure is not high, the growth rate is still very fast. Before the financial crisis, an American appraisal agency gave us a valuation of [-] million U.S. dollars. Recently, I am in contact with several venture capital companies, and the financing price is around [-] million US dollars."

After hearing this, Su Rui immediately understood.

Regardless of the past month or so, he has been busy flirting with girls most of the time. In fact, he has been thinking about business for more than ten years in his life, and he has long been trained as a veteran.

The so-called "in contact" means that the negotiation has not yet been reached, or the price is considered high, or it is simply not right.

And the sentence "about 7000 million US dollars" also shows that as long as you are really willing to negotiate, there is still a chance to lower the price.

Anyway.

In the eyes of Su Rui, the market value in this range is very cheap, and the smile on his face suddenly becomes brighter.
