Heidi still kept her promise very much. After returning to Vancouver, her uncle sent $208 million to a Swiss bank account of Li Yifan that day.
This forced Li Yifan to admire Heidi's uncle's money laundering ability. He is worthy of being the money laundering expert of the Black# Gang. No wonder Heidi and Danny often boast about her in front of her, and now it seems that this is true.
You should know that this money is not a small amount. With such a large amount of money, you have to use dozens of accounts and wash them through various channels. Of course, some expenses will be generated in the middle, but his uncle was able to only lose millions of dollars in such a quick time and get the money done for himself. It seems that this person's ability is really quite good.
If you have the chance, Li Yifan certainly wants to meet this money laundering expert, but now he is going to handle the Red Deer River Ranch in Alberta. Old Edmund is probably already waiting in a hurry.
That night, Li Yifan and Billy returned to Uncle Danny's house. Uncle Danny and his aunt were also very happy to see the two children who had just returned from a "travel" in the United States.
On the one hand, it is because Li Yifan returned safely from the United States, and on the other hand, it is because Billy has matured a lot after this trip to the United States and is no longer as young and frivolous as before.
After resting for a day at Uncle Andy's house, on Sunday, the uncle and nephew flew directly to Alberta again. When he arrived in Calgary, it was still old Edmund who came to pick him up.
Over the past month, Old Edmund was so anxious that he would bring him huge interest every day when his loan from the bank. In addition, the current market environment is really bad, and the milk produced by his cows cannot be shipped out at all, and it cannot generate profits. If Li Yifan and the others don’t come again, he will really go bankrupt.
The next day, Edmund took his uncle and nephew and walked around his ranch, checked some situations. After comparing with the original, Li Yifan finally signed his name on the contract Uncle Andy had prepared. From now on, the Red Deer River ranch will belong to him.
And Edmund was so happy that he could not see his eyes.
"Edmund, now you have stopped your mind. Sell the ranch and you have become a millionaire. Now you can travel around the world with Ruth."
Uncle Andy looked at Edmund with a smile and said that because he often went to the Alberta government to handle some formalities and delivery issues, he was very familiar with Edmund and knew his situation very well.
Although Edmund now owes a lot of debts to the bank, after Li Yifan's money is received, he can save thousands of millions after paying off the bank's loan.
Edmund also looked light and light. He nodded, but his face was not too happy.
"Yes, it's a pity that I have to pay back half of the money to the bank, otherwise I will be happier."
When he bought cows, he had disposal all the beef cattle in his ranch. Because he wanted to do a big deal, he spent a lot of money when introducing cows. In the end, the money was not enough and he even borrowed money from the bank.
Moreover, because raising dairy cows is different from raising beef cattle, he borrowed a lot of money and specially built a cowshed, as well as automated milking and feeding equipment. These alone cost 20 to 30 million yuan one after another.
Later, due to the bankruptcy of the dairy company, his milk was out of stock. He planned to make milk powder, so he introduced a large number of equipment for making milk powder, and asked people to build factories, debug equipment, etc. In short, he borrowed tens of millions from the bank.
But what he didn't expect was that when all this was done, he encountered an economic crisis and the market environment was poor, which led to his inability to make ends meet and on the verge of bankruptcy.
Otherwise, as long as a ranch like him is managed safely, he will never face bankruptcy. Although he may not be able to make a lot of money, it is still no problem to get a medium-sized living standard.
Now, just paying back the bank loans and the interest generated by the huge loans will cost more than 70 million yuan. In other words, the last 50,000 acres of pasture, plus those dairy cows, milk powder factories, and various automated equipment, has brought him more than 10 million yuan in net income. Of course, Old Edmund couldn't be happy.
However, his previous business measures were all his own decisions, and he could not blame others for being unlucky. In fact, there are not a few farmers like him in Canada now.
"Edmund, what are you going to do next? Are you really going to travel around the world?"
Li Yifan asked Edmund on the side, to be honest, he really lacked a qualified ranch manager. After buying the ranch, he would return to China, but who will manage and take care of it?
Uncle Andy recommended him to organize a team specifically, but this team is easy to deal with, but it is difficult to find people who truly understand ranch management and management, especially those who are proficient in animal husbandry knowledge.
It’s not that it’s hard to find people who understand technology and knowledge, but it’s hard to find people who can be trusted. After this period of contact, Uncle Andy proposed a personal choice for him, and this person was Edmund.
Although Old Edmund is not very good at operating, he is indeed experienced in serving the ranch and serving the dairy beef cattle, and he is also very honest. He is a trustworthy ranch manager.
Old Edmund was of course reluctant to leave the ranch where he had lived for the rest of his life. At this time, when Li Yifan asked this, he immediately became interested.
"Where can I really travel around the world? Besides, when it comes to travel around the world, I can't be happy to patrol the ranch every day. I have lived here for a lifetime, born here, and grown here, I don't know what else I can do when I go outside."
Edmund really has a deep affection for this Red Deer River Ranch.
"If this is the case, then Edmund doesn't know if you are willing to take care of this ranch for me? You must know that after buying the ranch, I will return to China to run my other business. In Canada, I need a trustworthy man to help me run the ranch."
Li Yifan said with a smile. It seems that Uncle Andy had secretly done work for Edmund before, otherwise he wouldn't have beaten the snake and the stick so naturally.
"I do, of course, but I hope Ruth and I can live in our original house."
Edmund agreed immediately. His straightforwardness really made Li Yifan uncomfortable. If he changed his domestic habits, the applicant would definitely be shy for a while, and then finally agreed with the kindness of the employer.
But look at the directness of others, this kind of job-seeking attitude will not appear in China at least ten years.
"No problem, you live wherever you live. If you manage the ranch well, you will live in that house."
Li Yifan said with a smile. From the moment he signed the contract, everything on and underground in this ranch belonged to him, and of course he had the right to deal with it.
"Of course Edmund, your main job may be different from before. Your job is to manage the staff of the ranch so that they can smoothly make milk into milk powder. In terms of accounting, I will send someone to manage it."
Of course, wealth and power must be separated, otherwise, with Edmund's business vision, if he takes a wrong step, the ranch would be miserable.
"No problem, this makes me feel a lot easier. In fact, I've never been very good at taxes and accounting."
Edmund was easy to talk to, but in fact, he could stay in the ranch, what else could he expect?
"By the way, boss, do we only raise dairy cows on our ranch of such a large one? In fact, I have to admit that I made a serious mistake before. There is still a lot of land here that is free, and it is enough to raise thousands of beef cattle."
Edmund immediately entered the role. It seems that he has always been resentful of the mistakes he made before, and he still has feelings for the beef cattle he has raised for many years.
"Well, this idea is good. I will leave you with some funds this year. You can introduce some beef cattle to breed, but the funds are limited, so our beef cattle breeding can only be done slowly by ourselves. When I have sufficient funds, we will take it slowly by then."
In fact, after paying Edmund's 90 million US dollars, Li Yifan still had more than 100 million US dollars, but he did not intend to hand over all the money to Edmund to introduce beef cattle.
Although this old man seems to be very trustworthy at the moment, but he knows people but not his heart. How dare he give him a lot of money? And if others are not here, who knows what he will raise those beef cattle by then?
"No problem, boss, I get it."
Of course, Edmund also knew what they meant, so he didn't say it in depth.
"Actually, Edmund, I not only want to open a ranch in Canada, but also want to open a ranch in China. This place mainly deals with dairy cows, and there are beef cattle. I wonder what good recommendations do you have for beef cattle recommendations?"
Li Yifan said to him a little unhappy when he saw Edmund.
"So that's the case, BOSS, this is much easier. I wonder how big your farm in China is to open, and where is the environment?"
