Chapter 42: Château Chenluo
Back in Napa, Chen Mo received a call from Stephen, saying that Wang Huili's family was coming.
Chen Mo hurriedly hurried back to the manor.
"Aunt Wang. Chen Mo shouted with a smile.
Wang Huili is Chen Xiaohui's aunt, Luo Yong's future aunt, and Chen Mo is also called.
"Alas. Wang Huili agreed: "Rayong can't contact you, let's come and have a look." This is my husband, Zhou Sheng. ”
"Uncle Zhou. ”
"Alas. Zhou Sheng looked like an honest man, and said with a smile: "Thank you so much for what happened last time." ”
"Nothing. Besides, it's this one who helps, Stephen. Chen Mo looked at Stephen.
"Both of you have already thanked me. Stephen smiled: "Mr. Zhou came here to see the winery in Napa, and for other investment matters, you can ask Dawei Office for help." They are law firms, but their main business is investment and mergers and acquisitions, providing legal services and providing reference opinions. It's better to charge an expensive fee but get better than not knowing anything and being reckless. ”
"I'll talk about this later......" Chen Mo gave Stephen a look.
Davis Kleek's fees, for investment and M&A, that is, the acquisition of companies, they charge about five to ten percent. If you buy a 5 million winery, the fee is at least 250,000 yuan, which is much higher than the average intermediary company.
Chen Moliu had lunch with them, and in the afternoon took them to several intermediary companies in Napa County.
It is not cost-effective to buy the winery outright, and it is expensive. The most cost-effective way is to buy a vineyard and build a winery yourself.
There are not many vineyards listed for sale in the intermediary company, and there are only five in a circle, with an average price of about 370,000 per acre, with real estate. This is the listed price, and the actual price may be cheaper......
The intermediary company is directly listed for sale. Then I went to the law firm, where it was much more convenient to make direct requests, such as the appellation, the size of the vineyard, and then how much money I was willing to spend. If it is appropriate, the firm will take the order, and they will come forward and wait for the matter to be signed. This cost is a bit higher than going directly to an agent......
A few days later, Chen Mo went to the airport to pick up Rayong and them.
"I said it's hard to be a brother...... Luo Yong came over with a smile and hugged Chen Mo: "I'm bothering you again." ”
"It's not your style to say that. Chen Mo smiled and patted Luo Yong's shoulder.
There are four people in Luo Yong's party, Chen Xiaohui does not need to be introduced, and the other two middle-aged men, Luo Yong introduced: "My future father-in-law, this is Secretary Kang." ”
Chen Guoming smiled and glanced at Luo Yong, Chen Guoming was probably still satisfied with his future son-in-law, but sometimes he felt too out of tune.
"Hello Uncle Chen, my name is Chen Mo. ”
"Hello. ”
Chen Mo led everyone out of the airport, got into his pickup truck, and went straight to Napa to meet Zhou Sheng, and the group went to Chen Mo's manor first.
The house of Mount Alat.
"Down the hill is Sonoma County, which is also a famous wine region, but it is a little less famous in the country than Napa Valley. Chen Mo briefly introduced some and returned home with a group of people: "I live alone here, some are simple......" Chen Mo took out a drink and beckoned everyone to sit down.
"Damn, it's easy. Luo Yong looked at the arrangement: "You are not afraid of losing your life if you live in such a big house alone, how about I move over and live with you in the future." ”
"Get out. ”
"It's really not exquisite...... You say where to buy our winery. The news sent back by Uncle Zhou that the vineyards here are much more expensive than you told me, and they are more expensive than the wines from the Bordeaux region of France. Luo Yong sat next to Chen Mo and said.
"Scarcity is expensive. The Napa Valley appellation region has little land and is famous, so prices are naturally high. "Chen Mo can't give much advice on their investment in the winery.
Zhou Sheng has collected a lot of information in this area these days, took it out, and handed it to Chen Guoming.
Vineyards in the valley are expensive, selling for around $380,000 per acre. Vineyards in the mountains are much cheaper......
Chen Mo saw that it was almost noon, got up and went to the kitchen to cook.
Luo Yong followed in and said with a smile: "Take me to the car dealership in the afternoon, I will live here in the future, and I will be your companion." ”
"Wow, I'm alone here. Chen Mo took the beef out and braised potatoes.
In the afternoon, Chen Guoming and the others went to see the vineyard, and Chen Mo drove the Rayong family to a pickup truck in Napa County and bought a Ford F150, XL model, 27,000. The number of signs, vehicle and vessel taxes, insurance, etc., is more than 30,000 yuan.
Four days later, they bought their winery in Rayong, on Mount Verde, less than 200 meters from the Canyon Estate, which is next to the Canyon Estate. But the Canyon Estate is a behemoth, less than 200 metres away, and by road it is 7.5 miles, or 12 kilometres, from Mount Alat to their winery in Rayong.
Lo Chan Winery, the new name of their winery in Rayong.
Rayong owns 40 percent of the shares, Chen Xiaohui holds 20 percent of the shares, and the rest of the shares are in the hands of Chen Guoming, with Zhou Sheng as the CEO of the winery.
The winery is 30 acres, with 23 acres of vineyards, a house, several staff houses, and a winery, at a total cost of $8.5 million.
Early in the morning, Chen Mo received a call from Lamborghini, saying that the car had arrived in San Francisco.
Lamborghini Centenario-LP770-4, limited to forty units worldwide. The order that Chen Mo bought from Kante was a hard-top convertible, and the $2.5 million did not include other expenses......
Chen Mo turned over and got up, went downstairs to make pasta, and heard the sound of car horns from a distance.
Listen to the sound of the car is an F150, Rayong's car?
I opened the door with the remote control and walked out with my face open. After a while, the pickup truck drove in, and it was Rayong and them.
"Didn't eat. ”
"I definitely haven't eaten it. Rayong smiled and said.
"Why don't you make a phone call if you want to come over, under yourself in the kitchen. ”
"Yes. Rayong said as he squatted down and hugged Ah Huang's head and rubbed his face. Ah Huang, this guy licked it directly with a flexible tongue......
The funny scene made Chen Xiaohui laugh: "I'll go below." ”
Chen Xiaohui entered the house.
Luo Yong smiled and pinched Ah Huang's ears: "You guy, if you lick it again, I'll eat you." ”
"Wang, Wang......"
"Don't tease it, Ah Huang is very smart and can understand people. Chen Mo said: "Is there something to do when you come here early in the morning?"
"I came to find Brother Zhang, the vineyard of the winery has been unmanaged for a long time, so I asked a few people to clean it up. "Brother Zhang that Luo Yong said is Zhang Feng. Zhang Feng's company started to take over not only Chen Mo's big job, but also some small work in the vineyard.
