Bringing a Hospital Back to the 80s

In her previous life, she was a slacker doctor who returned to 1980. In an unfamiliar environment, the first major problems to solve were food and survival.

Fortunately, she carried a spatial...

Chapter 643 Keeping Profits Abroad

The farm in California should be the most expensive in the United States, after all, the location is there. In the end, Chen Xia bought the farm for 6 million US dollars.

As long as Chen Xia signs his name on the confirmation letter and power of attorney, he won't have to worry about the subsequent procedures, as the entire process will be handled by Citibank.

However, Xu Yuan refused to let the farmer write her name and insisted on using Chen Xia's own name.

The little girl has her own persistence and pride.

Chen Xia didn't care, after all, this farm was a gift from him to her.

It didn't matter if they refused to transfer the money to her name. Chen Xia left 20 million US dollars and told Xu Yuan that the money was for farm construction. She could spend it however she wanted, and if it was not enough, there would be more.

Xu Yuan was so shocked that her jaw dropped.

How come this "ex-boyfriend" and current lover, who was still riding the green train and doing speculative business all over the country a few years ago, suddenly became so rich?

You have to know that she was secretly surprised that she spent 6 million to buy the farm. This amount was 20 million US dollars in "construction fees". If the girl had bad intentions, she might have absconded with the money.

You have to know that this was 20 million in 1987, an astronomical figure.

Chen Xia didn't care about the money at all. Anyway, he had plenty of US dollars in his space hospital, but he just had no idea how to use them.

European and American countries have very strict financial supervision, especially large cash transactions must be checked. This will easily lead to unnecessary trouble, and even the tax department may invite you for tea.

As for how the farm will be run and how to make a profit, Chen Xia is not worried at all and does not think that Xu Yuan will ruin it.

Anyway, even if this farm does nothing, the price will increase several times in a few years or decades, so this business will not lose money.

This kind of thinking is the same as that of the real estate speculation groups in later generations. They speculate on real estate to make a profit from the price difference and don’t care whether there is rent or whether they can rent it out.

House prices can double in a few years, and you can make a lot of money.

Besides, money can’t buy what you love. As long as Xu Yuan likes it, spending a little more money is not a big deal.

The little girl has been alone in the United States for so many years, isolated and helpless. Not only is she financially stressed, but more importantly, she is spiritually lonely. Letting her do what she likes can also give her some spiritual comfort.

In the next few days, with the help of Citibank, an agricultural company was established and the farm recruited enough staff and cowboys.

Chen Xia was also very considerate and hired two female bodyguards through a security company to protect Xu Yuan around the clock.

This is the wilderness, not the city. It is definitely not a reassuring thing for a weak woman to live alone in a villa.

It was already half a month after finishing everything. Chen Xia only had a one-month visa, so it was time to leave.

Before leaving, Chen Xia also gave Pfizer's luxury large-displacement Lincoln SUV to Xu Yuan for use. After all, Pfizer said that this car was his exclusive car in the United States, and he could do whatever he wanted with it.

Los Angeles International Airport.

Xu Yuan was feeling very depressed, and she kept holding Chen Xia's hand, refusing to let go for a long time.

When they arrived, the registration information was already being broadcast on the radio, and Chen Xia hugged her tightly.

"Chen Xia, will you come to see me again?"

"Yes, I will. Don't forget that I have a farm here and a girl who works for me."

"Hey, if you don't come back, I'll take your money and sell your farm. You've already signed the blank power of attorney anyway."

Chen Xia scratched her nose and said, "Then you're done. I'll come to check at any time. You are not allowed to bring back any wild men."

After saying that, both of them smiled and waved their hands, as casually as if they were parting with old friends for the Nth time.

But Chen Xia didn't know that when he walked into the waiting hall, Xu Yuan suddenly squatted on the ground and cried for a long time. She was left alone in a foreign country again.

Chen Xia flew directly to Hong Kong.

When she arrived at her great-grandfather's house in Xiangjiang, Chen Shuqin was still very surprised.

"Xiao Xia, what were you doing in the United States? There were two large withdrawals, one for 6 million and one for 20 million."

Chen Xia lowered his head and hurriedly ate his meal while saying, "I... ahem... I bought a farm in California as an investment."

"What kind of farm costs 26 million? How can it be so expensive? Are you getting ripped off? Do you understand the market?"

"Well, 6 million is the purchase price, and the remaining 20 million, well, well, I asked a friend to help me invest in the United States. If there are any good farms, I'll continue to buy them."

How could Chen Shuqin be so easily fooled?

Four Seasons Company has an investment company under it that specializes in investing in foreign real estate and stocks.

Logically speaking, even if the farm needs to be acquired, it should be the investment company's business. Why would it be entrusted to his personal friend?

The key point is that this guy has never been to the United States, so where do his friends come from?

Normally, this "money-grubber" never trusts outsiders and personally reviews all investments for fear that others will embezzle his money. Why is he so generous this time?

Just give 20 million to someone else?

There is a ghost, there must be a ghost...

Chen Xia felt more and more uncomfortable being stared at, so he quickly changed the subject:

"Aunt, this time we are going to set up an import and export trading company in Hong Kong. In the future, all goods exported to Walmart supermarkets will be accounted for by this company, and the goods will also be shipped from Hong Kong.

Also, remember, the bulk of the profits from foreign trade go to the Cayman Islands' offshore accounts, leaving only the costs and a small profit for the mainland factories. Furthermore, dividends for my uncle will be calculated based on the profits in Hong Kong."

Once the matter came to business, Chen Shuqin put aside her doubts and discussed the establishment of a company with her nephew.

There was no other way. In the 1980s, there were few ports available for exports in the mainland and few cargo ships. Most import and export goods and funds had to pass through Hong Kong. This is why Hong Kong's shipping and finance prospered.

Later, with the rapid development of the mainland and the establishment of its own ports and financial centers, the final decline of Hong Kong's economy was inevitable. This had nothing to do with any "system", and it would get worse year by year.

There is another reason why Chen Xia wants to set up an import and export trading company in Hong Kong, which is because it is easy to bring foreign exchange into the mainland but difficult to take it out.

Therefore, Chen Xia decided to prepare for the future and keep the majority of the profits from foreign trade overseas so that he could invest in the future and avoid taxes reasonably.

Of course, Chen Xia will not treat the workers in the mainland unfairly. He will definitely give them the highest salary and benefits in Yuezhou in order to buy their loyalty.

As for how much foreign exchange can be created for the country, this number is not something Chen Xia needs to consider, and it is not even something that Deputy Commissioner Gu needs to consider, as he is not in charge of trade.

After finishing all this, it was a whole month before Chen Xia returned to the mainland.
