Luo Yong took three bottles of Coke, which are rare glass bottles of Coke now, opened them with a screwdriver, handed them to Chen Mo, and then said, "How about I go to the United States to be your companion?"

"Seriously. Chen Mo glanced at Luo Yong.

Country life in the United States is not as good as it seems, and sometimes it is really boring. Not to mention Luo Yong's character, even Chen Mo has times when he can't stand it.

"I have a sum of money, about 30 million. You know I also have a sister who got married some time ago, and the family has a shop for my sister and two other properties. I also got a property, and there are also stocks worth about 20 million, which can be regarded as a separation...... I co-authored the money to rent out the house, and I had a total of 30 million in cash. Staying bored in China and wanting to go to the United States to have fun, how about getting a winery?" Luo Yong looked at Chen Mo pitifully.

"Thirty million US dollars is about the same, but the ...... of RMB" Chen Mo shook his head: "Besides, you can't figure out how to do business in China, and I'm afraid it's even more ...... to open a winery in the United States."

"Open a small winery, the kind that produces and sells itself. Luo Yong frowned and looked at Chen Mo: "Xiaohui's family will also contribute, and it will probably be able to raise 10 million US dollars." ”

Chen Mo looked at Chen Xiaohui......

"My dad wanted a winery for a long time, and last year he went to France for a visit. Chen Xiaohui said a little shyly.

"If there are 10 million, it shouldn't be difficult. I don't know much about wineries either, but in Napa, slightly better vineyards are now selling for about $400,000, or an acre, that's a little over six acres. Medium-to-upper vineyards are sold for more than 300,000 yuan. The slightly worse vineyards are at least about 200,000 yuan, an acre. Chen Mo is very familiar with the low price of Napa, he is a big landlord in Napa County, and he is one of the top three private landowners in the entire production area.

For example, in the Verde Mountains, in remote places, vineyards between five years and ten years old have an average price of more than 150,000 US dollars, and there is no market.

There are very few properties with vineyards listed for sale in the entire Napa region, and buyers are basically released quickly.

"How many bottles of wine can be made in an acre of vineyard under normal circumstances?" Rayong asked.

"Normally, if not a particularly good vineyard, five tonnes per acre is best to ensure that the grapes have enough sugar. In the case of ripe vineyards, the yield of one acre can be controlled at seven to eight tons...... One ton of grapes is about 750 bottles of wine, and five tons of grapes are 3,750 bottles, or 625 cases. This is only the best theoretical data, in fact, 600 cases is good, and it may only be 500 cases...... "The actual data is not accurate even for professional winemakers." The approximate data that Chen Mo said is almost like that.

"A winery with an annual output of 10,000 cases, that is, only twenty acres of vineyards is enough? At the rate of 300,000 acres, six million to buy land and four million remaining, and 10 million is more than enough. Rayong laughed.

"The process of sake brewing, picking, fermentation, barrel aging...... If you want a good wine, you need to bottle it. Wines that sell for more than $20 usually take more than a year from the time they are picked. Chen Mo pretended to be forced, and then shook his head: "If you really plan to invest in a winery, go over and have a look first." As far as I know, there are a lot of 'OEM' wineries in Napa. The winery is only used as a place for operation and production, and does not have vineyards of its own...... There are also wineries that produce grapes but do not make their own wine, leaving them to the winery...... There are three main types of wineries in Napa County, which are homegrown, don't produce their own grapes, buy grapes and make their own wine, and produce their own grapes but give them to others to make ......"

For the winery, Chen Mo himself is also a layman. Anyway, I heard that it is not easy to run a winery......

Napa is a little more famous, and there are big patrons behind it, and 10 million dollars is really drizzle in that place in Napa.

The Napa Valley region is definitely a crouching tiger, with a lot of capital. Especially in recent years, the Napa region has set off a wave of capital mergers and acquisitions, and many very famous wineries have changed hands, or equity transactions. Even Chen Mo's Canyon Manor has an investment company that wants to buy ......

Chen Mo didn't have many suggestions on this matter, so he could only go back and consult Stephen and Elson.

After staying at home for a few days, Chen Xiao returned from her boyfriend, and the family packed up their bags and left for the United States.

For a family of four, Chen Mo originally planned to buy a first-class ticket, but his mother felt that there was no need to spend more money, so she chose business class at Chen Mo's repeated insistence, which was not bad.

"It's my first time going abroad, is there anything I need to pay attention to?" As soon as he got on the plane, Chen Xiao began to ask questions.

"Nothing to pay attention to. Chen Mo thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Just don't talk to strangers." ”

Chen Xiao grimaced: "I heard that there are many Chinese in San Francisco, and you don't even need to speak English to live in San Francisco. ”

"There are many Chinese in some communities. For example, in Chinatown, as long as you know Mandarin, you can live...... Living and living well are two different things. In addition, San Francisco has more Chinese and more Chinese. Chinese There is a clear difference between Chinese and Chinese......" Chen Mo said and looked out the window, the plane was slowly rising: "Domestic multimillionaires may not have a good quality of life when they go to San Francisco." ”

It may be that the conversation between the two brothers and sisters Chen Mo has made noise to others, and in the same business district, a man in a straight suit looked at the Chen Mo brothers and sisters with an unhappy face.

"How are you doing? If not, just go back to China. Chen Xiao didn't notice the man on the other side of the corridor, and stuck out his tongue and asked.

"What nonsense are you asking. Wherever you have money in your pocket, it's heaven, and of course I'm doing well. Chen Mo said and glanced at the man, with very vicious eyes, glaring at him. The guy was obviously soft, and quickly turned his head.

"You're murdering me. Chen Xiao pouted cutely.

Chen Mo smiled helplessly: "Okay, don't ask questions, it's noisy." Sleep ......"

On today's flight, Chen Mo deliberately stayed awake all night and insisted on staying on the plane. When the plane entered the cruising state, Chen Mo closed the window and closed his eyes......

It was still past 10 o'clock local time in San Francisco, and it was Elson who came to pick him up, driving Stephen's RV.

Chen Mo's parents, as well as Chen Xiao, they are very curious about the United States, after all, when they came for the first time, they looked out the window when they sat in the car, and sighed from time to time......

Except for the high-rise buildings in the financial district, the floors in other places in San Francisco are not high, and they are not even as good as the ordinary residential buildings in the county town. It's the architectural style here, at first glance it feels very good and high-end, but after a long time, it's like that.

What is really eye-opening is that after crossing the Golden Gate Bridge, there are luxury villas, where the environment and planning leave enough space for each family to be enviable. It's a great sight to see during the day, but at night, it's hard to see people on the streets...... If you are accustomed to the bustle of domestic nights and come to the North Bay residence in San Francisco, it is definitely difficult to adapt in a short period of time......
