How to be financially free

Chapter 499 Ferrari SF90
Thomas Meat's headquarters in Brisbane occupies an entire floor of the office building.

However, Xu Wen knew that the company's real assets were the several large ranches and processing plants under the company.

Here, at best, it can only be regarded as an office.

Xu Wen knew that the smiling blond middle-aged man in front of him was Johnson, the current head of Thomas Company. He was capable, and the company's related businesses were running well in his hands.

Behind Johnson, almost all the employees are there, and there are not a few of them who are generally tall, strong or huge.

Facing Xu Wen's gaze, several freckled girls with blond hair and blue eyes hurriedly showed flattering smiles.

Xu Wen was tall, and Johnson, a big man, didn't have any height advantage beside Xu Wen. At this moment, he smiled and introduced the employees present.

Xu Wen had a gentle attitude. After meeting everyone briefly, he waved to Johnson.

Johnson came trotting, bringing with him a strong scent of men's perfume.

"Mr. Johnson, please show me around, and others can go back." Xu Wen roughly scanned the office space of Thomas Company, which was spacious and bright. trophy.

"Okay, Mr. Xu, this way please." Johnson led the way with deep-set eyes and respect.

The entire headquarters covers an area of ​​[-] square meters, and each area is clearly divided. The staff rest area, coffee machine and bread machine are all available, which are completely different styles.

"Mr. Xu, this is your office." Johnson trotted a few steps and pushed open the front door.

Xu Wen paced forward.

The overall style is completely different from domestic ones, with a minimalist style and ergonomic chairs. It is worth mentioning that the view is unique. The scenery along the Brisbane River is just outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

There is a wine cabinet with red wine next to the desk, and there are whole boxes of cigars that have not been touched.

Xu Wen was also polite, sat on the boss chair and listened to Johnson's introduction of the company's current situation.

"Mr. Xu, there are currently 80 employees in the company's headquarters, a total of 120 permanent employees in the three major farms below, and a total of 200 workers in the two factories."

Xu Wen listened quietly, without interrupting Johnson's words.

In foreign countries, because labor is more expensive and many operations are automated, the number of employees of Thomas Meat Company is not as many as imagined.

The total number of employees is 400.

But think about it, there are only so many people in Australia, and a company with a scale of 400 people is not small.

"At present, all the company's businesses are running well. The company's products are mainly sold to high-end supermarkets and chain restaurants. At the same time, the annual export volume maintains a stable operation. Last year, it achieved a net profit of 2100 million Australian dollars." The business of the company is well understood.

"Very good." Xu Wen nodded.

"You see, where there is need for improvement, I will definitely convey it." Johnson asked cautiously.

He worked so hard, but he was actually afraid that if he changed to a new boss, there would be some changes in the company.

"There is no need to change for the time being, and you don't need to worry about anything else." After all, it is an overseas industry, and Xu Wen can't keep an eye on it. Naturally, he hopes that Thomas Company will continue to maintain a stable operation.

Hearing this, Johnson's expression relaxed. There is not much blond hair on his head, and the reflective scalp can be seen faintly.

"By the way, make some arrangements tomorrow. I'm going to inspect the farm." Xu Wen thought of something and ordered.

Now that they are here, everyone who should be inspected must be inspected.

Hearing that the farm environment in Australia is beautiful, Xu Wen also wanted to experience it.

"No problem, Mr. Xu, I'll arrange it." Johnson quickly agreed.

In an office building along the Brisbane River in Queensland in the southern hemisphere, Xu Wen sat in an office on the [-]th floor, listening to his subordinates' work reports, while looking out the window at the city scenery with excellent weather and bright sunshine.

It feels quite different.

Halfway through the conversation, the office door suddenly rang.

Seeing this, Johnson was also afraid of disturbing Xu Wen, so he quickly greeted Xu Wen and went to find out first.

Then, when he came back, he reported the matter carefully.

"Mr. Xu, the company has a customer whose supply contract has expired. This time I came here specially to sign a long-term contract. The main reason is that this is a customer signed by the previous boss. Look?" Johnson said, looking at Xu Wen complexion.

"Let someone come in!" Xu Wen said casually.

In the living room, Zhou Zhaohai, the person in charge of ten chain barbecue chain restaurants who came from China, was feeling a little nervous.

Thomas is a major supplier of premium Wagyu beef to yakiniku restaurants in the country.

Because Australia’s top-quality wagyu beef has a scarce quota, it is mainly aimed at ultra-high-end restaurants such as Michelin Black Pearl. Their barbecue restaurant is unable to compete for the quota of these first-tier brands, so they have to focus on the second-tier brands.

It was also a coincidence that the cooperation with Thomas started.

All along, the two parties have cooperated well. This time, they came here to sign a long-term supply contract. Unexpectedly, as soon as they came here, they heard that Thomas' boss had changed hands.

This is really turbulent.

If the cooperation here is not going well, it will be really troublesome, and we have to find the source of goods again.

If you are not sure, you have to keep your eyes down. The meat products of other families may not have the quality of Thomas's Wagyu beef.

While struggling, the door of the conference room opened.

Zhou Zhaohai saw Johnson outside the door at a glance.

This is the current director of Thomas Company, Mr. Johnson.

"Mr. Johnson." Zhou Zhaohai smiled and stood up together with the assistants beside him.

"Mr. Zhou, the boss wants to see you." Johnson didn't exchange too many greetings, but said with a polite smile.

"Your new boss?" Hearing this, many thoughts flashed through Zhou Zhaohai's mind, nothing more than countermeasures and possible difficulties.

In the end, all thoughts turned into a forced smile.

"That will trouble you, Mr. Johnson."

Johnson led the way, Zhou Zhaohai and his assistant followed behind with a little anxiety.

The next meeting is likely to be related to the next operation of domestic stores.

For a long time, under the business sign of purebred Australian Wagyu beef, it has steadily attracted a large number of customers.

He really didn't want to make any troubles in cooperation.

Just as he was thinking, Johnson stopped in front of him and stopped in front of the office door.

"The boss is inside, go in!"

Zhou Zhaohai raised his head, looked at the office door in front of him, collected himself, opened the door, and started the first meeting with the new boss.

In the office, everything was quiet.

The whole interior is full of bright sunshine and wide views from the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Zhou Zhaohai couldn't help sighing about the good weather in the southern hemisphere.

The chair behind the desk was facing away from them.

A figure was looking out the window.

He was just about to say hello when he saw the office chair turn back gently.

Zhou Zhaohai was taken aback.

Looking at that figure, with jet-black hair, and three-dimensional and angular facial features, he couldn't react for a while.

"From China?" Xu Wen opened his mouth, looked at the two dazed figures in front of him, and said.

Zhou Zhaohai thought he had heard or read wrongly.

No, the new boss of Thomas Company is actually from China?
The new boss of this large meat company with sales of [-] million Australian dollars turned out to be a compatriot with black hair and black eyes?
All of a sudden, the natural sense of distance disappears invisible.

"Sit down!" Xu Wen smiled slightly.

"Hey, thank you." Zhou Zhaohai thanked in a loud voice, and sat down like this, with an uncontrollable excitement in his heart.

It is a little exciting to think that the sub-top meat company in Australia is actually owned by Chinese people.

Outside the door, after Johnson knocked on the door, he came in and delivered the previous cooperation contract, and Xu Wen ordered tea to be brought to the two of them by the way.

While waiting, Xu Wen flipped through the contract.

It is a very conventional supply contract, and the other party is a domestic chain barbecue restaurant called "True Color", which focuses on high-end Australian Wagyu beef, and currently has ten restaurants.

Xu Wen closed the contract and chatted with the two people opposite.

There's nothing wrong with cooperating.

It's not about selling to whom, so Xu Wen is naturally happy to continue this cooperation.

However, he was not in a hurry to express his opinion, but chatted with the other party for a while with great interest.

Barbecue, that's the way to go.

Just now, in the blink of an eye, Xu Wen's parents' entrepreneurial project suddenly became clear in Xu Wen's mind.

Isn't this right in front of you?

Wouldn't it be enough to open a barbecue restaurant directly?The meat products directly focus on wagyu beef from its own farm, and the signboard will say that it will be a yakiniku restaurant with wagyu beef from the entire Australian farm.

Open a store first to test the waters, maybe it will become popular, and you can open a chain store.

Of course, the above are all Xu Wen's flashy thoughts.

"There's nothing wrong with cooperating." Xu Wen interrupted the chat and expressed his opinion. After chatting like this, he was a little bit attached to the other party.

The other two immediately looked happy.

"Thank you Mr. Xu." Zhou Zhaohai thanked excitedly.

"Mr. Xu, Nian is really young and promising. I never dreamed that the boss of Thomas Company would replace us."

He couldn't help showing his true nature.

The assistant on the side also had the same expression.

Xu Wen smiled and said some polite words to the two of them.

Soon, the assistant sent a new contract,
The cooperation agreement remains the same, the difference is that this is a long-term supply contract.

"Mr. Xu, I still have to rely on your support in the future!" After the contract was signed, Zhou Zhaohai shook hands with Xu Wen excitedly.

"Let's work together!" Xu Wen chuckled.

Before leaving, Zhou Zhaohai invited Xu Wen to meet again after returning to China, and the two left each other's contact information.

This high-end barbecue restaurant can be regarded as having gained experience. In this field, Xu Wen certainly has something to learn from the other party.

After Zhou Zhaohai left, Xu Wen met several local restaurateurs, all of whom had cooperated with Thomas Meat.

Before noon, Xu Wen met with three waves of customers and finalized several cooperations.

"Mr. Xu, a Ferrari SF90 that the company ordered before the transfer has arrived, and here I am...

At the desk, Johnson reported things.

Just as Xu Wen was about to reply, his phone suddenly received a somewhat unexpected message.

The information came from the Air China flight attendant.

"Mr. Xu, are you free at noon? Is it convenient to meet up?"

It wasn't her who sent the message, Xu Wen even forgot about it.

Xu Wen arranged for the dirty clothes to be changed at the W Hotel last night.

Unexpectedly, the flight attendant of Air China was still so persistent.

In retrospect, her service attitude and her appearance really made people feel comfortable throughout the process.

At this moment, in a foreign country, Xu Wensheng couldn't afford to refuse, so he simply agreed to meet at Brisbane City Hall Square.

Looking up, Xu Wencai recalled half of what Johnson said just now.

"What did you just say? Ferrari SF90?"

"Yes, Mr. Xu." Johnson just saw that Xu Wen was busy and didn't dare to disturb him, so he continued to introduce.

"The company is transferred to your name, and this car is naturally included in the transfer. Do you think I will pick up the car later and where will I send it to you? This will also facilitate your travel in Brisbane."

In fact, he was trying to please Xu Wen.

After all, at Xu Wen's age, he must also like sports cars.

"We need to talk about it later!" Xu Wen said casually.

The system also helped him apply for an international driver's license, so there is no problem driving abroad.

"Okay, then I'll go pick up the car first and wait for your news." Johnson nodded.

When Xu Wen left Thomas, Johnson saw him off all the way. He went downstairs and asked Xu Wen if he needed to arrange a car to see him off.

"No, I have a personal matter here." Xu Wen shook his head, and directly took a taxi on the side of the road.

After getting in the car, Xu Wen went straight to Brisbane City Hall Square.

The Brisbane City Hall is located in the center of the Albert Reception. It is the largest existing city hall in Australia, and its momentum is quite magnificent.

When we arrived at the square in front of the city hall, it was around noon.

There are many people on the side of the road, and it is not uncommon to see Chinese people, as well as Indians with obvious images.

Xu Wen followed the appointed place, looked for each other, and soon found the Air China stewardess who vaguely remembered in his mind by a fountain on the side of the road.

At this moment, she was wearing a decent long windbreaker for women, her coiled black hair was draped softly over her shoulders, and she had a graceful posture when standing.

"It's been a long time!" Xu Wen approached and said hello.

When the Air China stewardess heard the voice, she looked at Xu Wen with a gentle smile on her dignified and beautiful face.

"Mr. Xu, I just arrived too." She lightly lifted the shopping bag in her hand, on which was the very conspicuous Burberry logo.

"Here's a shirt for you."

She handed over the shopping bag with both hands, with anticipation in her eyes.

"No, it's really unnecessary, right?"

This made Xu Wen a little embarrassed.

She has clearly stated that no compensation is required, but she really didn't expect the flight attendant to buy one and give it to herself.

The price of a piece from Burberry is not cheap, even if the price is still not as good as my own customized one.

Although the income of Air China flight attendants is high, it is only relative to ordinary people. Moreover, to ensure income, they need to fly enough flights, which is actually quite hard.

Xu Wen really didn't want to accept it.

"Please accept it." The Air China stewardess held the shopping bag in both hands, bowed slightly, with a sincere and persistent attitude.
