Pierre's face turned extremely ugly when the farm's price was slashed to such a low level. He cursed inwardly that this bastard was simply taking advantage of his misfortune.
If his company hadn't desperately needed money, he would never have sold his life's work—the farm—to this guy for such a low price.
However, reality is cruel. Although Pierre was extremely unwilling, his Paris wine company desperately needed money, so he had no choice but to compromise and agree to sell his farm to Chen Ze for $170 million.
Then, Pierre said with a serious expression, "Mr. Chen, although I have agreed to your price, you must agree to one condition before I can transfer the farm to you."
"Oh, what are your conditions? As long as they're not too unreasonable, I can agree to them," Chen Ze said.
“The condition is simple: you cannot lay off the employees after you take over the farm. Most of them have worked hard here for more than ten years, and some for as little as five or six years. I feel bad about leaving them suddenly, and I hope you can give them a chance to continue working,” Pierre said earnestly.
Chen Ze thought for a moment, then smiled and nodded, "No problem, I promise you. Actually, I also hope that experienced employees can stay and help me run the farm better."
Pierre breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. With them here, the farm's operation shouldn't have too many problems."
After the negotiations, Pierre suppressed his displeasure and took Chen Ze and several of his companions to the farm for a field visit.
Because the farm was so large, Pierre decided to have his assistant drive a jeep without a rain cover around the farm so that Chen Ze and the others could better understand the farm.
Along the way, Chen Ze was amazed by the scale of the farm. Not only were there large quantities of grapes planted, but there were also thirty acres of potato fields.
Moreover, the farm is equipped with a complete irrigation system, which makes the grapes and potatoes grow lush and green, creating a vibrant scene.
In one corner of the farm, several Black people were working diligently. They skillfully operated various farm tools and seemed very familiar with the work.
Before long, the jeep arrived at a wide lawn, about ten acres wide, where four or five horses were grazing freely. The sunlight shone on the lawn, creating a beautiful scene.
Looking at the lawn, Chen Ze couldn't help but wonder. He turned to Onif, who was sitting next to him, and asked, "Onif, this farm looks so big, why doesn't Pierre raise dairy cows here?"
Onif explained with a smile.
“Mr. Chen, the weather is too hot in Africa in the summer, and dairy cows are prone to getting sick, so we don’t raise them.”
It took them half an hour to tour the entire farm before the car returned to the villa.
Chen Ze and the others got out of the car.
Onif stood in front of Chen Ze and gestured for him to come in. "Mr. Chen, please come in. Pierre has been waiting for you inside for quite some time."
Chen Ze nodded and went into the villa first.
September weather in Africa is still quite hot. Pierre was sitting in the lobby enjoying the air conditioning when he saw Chen Ze and the others come in, and he quickly got up to greet them.
"Mr. Chen, how is it? Are you satisfied with my farm?"
“Mr. Pierre, your farm is very well done, I am very satisfied.”
“OK, as long as you’re satisfied. My lawyer has already printed out the transfer agreement for us. You just need to transfer the money to me, and we can sign the agreement immediately,” Pierre said calmly.
Chen Ze's lips curled into a slight smile. "Of course, no problem." He turned to Zhao Youde and said, "The computer."
Zhao Youde quickly unzipped the briefcase, took out the computer, and handed it to him.
After taking the computer, Chen Ze sat down opposite Pierre and then paid $170 million using the bank card number provided by the other party.
After receiving the money, Pierre stood up and shook hands with Chen Ze. "Mr. Chen, I have received the money. I hope to run this business better and better. If you have time, you can come to Paris to see me. I can make sure you have a pleasant and unforgettable experience."
After saying that, he placed his business card in front of Chen Ze.
Chen Ze smiled and said, "Dear Mr. Pierre, I will definitely visit you when I have time in Paris. I hope we will have the opportunity to cooperate again."
After exchanging pleasantries, the two signed the contract in the presence of a lawyer, and Pierre handed over the property ownership certificate to Chen Ze.
About twenty minutes later, Pierre packed his luggage and went downstairs to leave.
Chen Ze stepped forward and tried to persuade him to stay, saying, "Mr. Pierre, why don't you have a meal before you leave? I don't mean to kick you out."
Pierre put his luggage in the trunk of the car and declined with a smile.
"No, I have important business to attend to in Paris. Goodbye, my friend."
After saying that, Pierre got into the driver's seat, took one last, reluctant look at the farm, sighed, and drove away.
Standing next to Wang Zhengang, Onif's eyes welled up with tears, but he didn't say a word.
After Pierre left, Chen Ze noticed that Onif hadn't followed.
He walked up to Onif and asked, "Hi, Ms. Onif, aren't you his assistant? Why aren't you going back to Paris with him?"
Onif wiped away his tears and explained.
“Pierre said there’s no shortage of people in Paris, and you need me because the workers here don’t understand English,”
Chen Ze nodded after hearing this, "Then I'll have to trouble you from now on, Ms. Oniffer. It will be much easier to communicate with the workers with you here."
Onif forced a smile. "No trouble at all. I'm familiar with the situation here and will do my best to assist you."
Subsequently, Chen Ze began to learn about the farm's daily operations from Onif, and Onif patiently answered all his questions, from the planting cycle to equipment maintenance.
Chen Ze discovered that she was indeed very knowledgeable about the farm, had strong management skills, and was also beautiful, so he couldn't help but take a few more glances at her.
As night fell, the farm quieted down. Chen Ze stood on the balcony of the villa, gazing at the newly acquired land, feeling very happy.
However, he had little interest in developing the farm; instead, he was preoccupied with how to relocate the indigenous people from the village near the mine and then secretly mine the gold.
The next morning, Chen Ze gathered the twenty employees of the farm and announced that he had officially taken over.
At first, the employees were worried that the new boss would fire them, and many of them were very anxious.
With Onif's help in translating, the employees breathed a sigh of relief when they learned that the new boss would keep them.
Just then, Chen Ze's phone rang.
He first had Onif instruct the workers to get to work, while he went into the villa to answer the phone.
The call was from Chen Xiyu, who said that the mining company's permits had been processed, but the security company's permits would take two more days to be issued.
