Chapter Eighty-Five: The Dinner Party

Chen Mo saw that Ye Xiaoxi was looking seriously, and gently tapped her head: "Get in the car, let's go to the banquet hall to see if there is anything we need help with." ”

"Uh-huh, you come and drive, I'll read the diary. Ye Xiaoxi quickly flipped through the diary, and when she came to the valley, she had finished reading it, and her brows were tightly knit and she was thinking.

Chen Mo was speechless and took the diary in Ye Xiaoxi's hand: "The diary must be fake." If there really is this treasure, it will definitely become a legend and spread before it has been found. ”

Ye Xiaoxi pouted and nodded: "Okay, I think if there is really a shipwreck treasure, I may be able to help." ”

"How can you help, do you know friends who work in ocean salvage?"

"Secret. Ye Xiaoxi smiled, took Chen Mo's arm, and walked towards Elson and the others who were making roasted whole sheep.

"This is Elson...... Conwlew, Jeff...... My girlfriend, Ellie. Chen Mo introduced: "I invited people from Zhang Feng's company to come to the dinner and prepare more food. ”

"No problem. Elson looked at Ye Xiaoxi with a smile, and turned around and said, "I invited Hawke and them, and they have already arrived in Napa." ”

Chen Mo nodded: "What about Stephen?"

"When he went to the cellar, he said he wanted to steal two wines. Elson spread his hands and laughed.

"Old bastard. Chen Mo shook his head and took Ye Xiaoxi's hand: "Let's go, let's go to the cellar to catch the thief." ”

Ye Xiaoxi blinked her beautiful eyes and was pulled away by Chen Mo.

"Hey, you guys wait for me......" Lacey shouted from behind.

When the three of them came to the old winery, Chen Mo made a 'shh ”

In the dimly lit underground cellar corridor, three people stood on tiptoe, cautious, and quite adventurous.

As soon as he walked to the innermost, Stephen, who was hiding when he heard the voice, suddenly shouted, not scaring Stephen, but Ye Xiaoxi and Lacey were startled.

"What the hell are you doing. Stephen asked, with a serious face.

"I should ask you that. Chen Mo was speechless: "How good can you drink, all the wine you brought back before has been drunk." ”

"After my wedding, many old friends asked me about the origin of the wine at the reception, and I couldn't help it, so I sent out a batch. Stephen said distressedly: "I think you can register a winery brand and release a small amount of wine to the market every year to lay the foundation for the future winery." ”

"I'm still going to continue to use the business name of Canyon Winery, or you can find a few lawyers to help me register it. ”

"It's a small thing, and I'll help you get it done in a week. ”

“3Q。 ”

Chen Mo smiled, went to the shelf to find a wine with more preservation years, and brought out four bottles.

Going out of the wine cellar, Chen Mo heard Rayong's shouts outside......

"Yes, it's out. ”

Luo Yong, Chen Xiaohui, and Chen Xiaohui's uncle Zhou Sheng.

Several people met and greeted for a while, and Rayong gave Stephen a wedding gift, a bottle of wine......

Back at the house where I used to live, the preparations for the dinner were almost ready. The people from Granson Ranch also came, Hawk and Conlait, father and son, White, a veteran employee of the ranch, Stephen's former secretary Howard Hua, and a few people Chen Mo didn't know, everyone got to know each other and exchanged a few words.

Although Howard works on Chen Mo's ranch, he has actually been Stephen's man.

Stephen also said in detail that his main job is to help Chen Mo supervise finances.

The location of Granson Ranch is too remote, hundreds of kilometers away from Napa, Chen Mo himself can't take care of the ranch all the time, so he needs a reliable financial officer.

Howard has been Stephen's assistant for more than ten years and is an absolutely reliable and trustworthy person. His work on the ranch is only temporary, and when the ranch work is on track and Hawke's ability is determined, a new treasurer will be appointed to take over his work.

"How's the work on the ranch?" asked Chen Mo.

"Everything is going according to plan, and an automated barn for 500 cattle has been built. Another 2,300 calves have been booked from other farms, and all of them will be delivered by December. Hawk said.

Chen Mo led his acquaintances to sit down around a large barbecue grill, opened a bottle of wine, and said with a smile: "Canyon treasure, wine that can't be bought on the market." Before the dinner started, Chen Mo first toasted with everyone, and then chatted until the evening.

At the beginning of the banquet, everyone has their own circle, and everyone sits together to eat meat and drink wine, and talk about various topics.

Chen Mo talked to Stephen and Hawke about their long-term plan, connecting the manor and ranch into one, and developing a tourism plan.

Napa is a well-known wine tourism county, with millions of tourists visiting Napa Valley each year. The vast majority of wineries in Napa are open to tourists, and many have B&Bs and more.

Chen Mo is a natural perfectionist, and since he wants to do it, he must want to make a big move. The first step is the planning of ecological scenic spots for manors and pastures, and to attract people to come for vacation, there must be a good scenery.

The scenery of Canyon Manor is not bad, but it is not much different from other places in the countryside.

In addition to cultivating scenic spots, it is also necessary to build supporting facilities, such as resort hotels or something......

"When are you going to start construction?" asked Stephen, expressing interest in Chen Mo's plan.

"I'll talk about it when I have enough money. ”

"We can work together to build a top leisure resort in Napa County. ”

"I'm not going to sell my stake in Canyon Estate. ”

Stephen shrugged and smiled, "A resort is a resort, and a manor is a manor." A few dozen acres of land is more than enough for a resort, but Canyon Manor has 1,850 acres. I don't think you mind if you sell a few dozen acres of land, and with a top resort next to it, your immature travel plans should be more viable. ”

"That's right. Chen Mo shrugged his shoulders with a smile: "I wish us a happy cooperation." ”

"When the resort is built, I plan to retire here. ”

Now it's just a matter of whether it's feasible or not, and we have to do market research.

……

After nine o'clock, people left one after another.

Chen Mo and Stephen talked about tomorrow's dinner, and they also said goodbye and left the banquet.

When I got home, I first arranged a room for Ye Xiaoxi and the others, and went back to the house to inquire about the things recorded in the diary.

The name of the gold mining company was mentioned in the diary, and I checked it on the Internet, and I really found it. Miyl Gold Company, bankrupt in 1904......

The reason for the bankruptcy was the mysterious disappearance of several shareholders of the company, suspected of being shipwrecked.

There is very little information on the Internet, but Adel Cricks is among the missing Miyl Gold executives who have been found. It was also confirmed that Adel Cricks was the majority shareholder of the company......
