September and October are the time to sow the seeds of pasture.

After a few months of accumulation, the spatial source spirit was enough to fill six buckets.

Chen Mo moved the grass seeds upstairs and poured them into the bathtub, a ton of grass just filled three large bathtubs. Pour two buckets of Yuan Ling into each bathtub, stir well, and then put it into a burlap bag and move it to the garage.

It was already noon when he was done, and Hawke returned with a dozen recruited men.

Chen Mo shouted at Hawke and said, "I bought the grass seeds." ”

Hawke came in and took a look, and said, "I ordered three high-powered John Deere tractors to be delivered tomorrow." There are also four sets of floating suspended cultivators and seeders, which will be delivered together tomorrow...... In addition, the forage harvester and baler will be delivered next week. ”

"Move as fast as you can, I need to go back to Napa. ”

"Okay, I've recruited workers back, you come and have a look. ”

Chen Mo went out to meet with the workers.

In the afternoon, Howard also brought people from the construction company.

The ranch will build a barn for 1,000 head of cattle, plan fences, irrigation systems, where to build cow dung fermenters, a simple sewage treatment system, and so on. It took only one afternoon to discuss these matters......

The ranch is exceptionally quiet at night, with only the sound of insects and the occasional bird call.

Chen Mo drank a little wine with Hawke and Howard at Hawke's house, and when he returned home, he checked the seeds in the garage.

Fortunately, it didn't sprout. The seeds soaked by the source spirit are also dry, but I don't know if it has any effect on the seeds.

Suddenly, the phone in his pocket rang, and Chen Mo took it out and looked at it: "Hey, Jesse, what's the matter?"

"I'm going to school, I'll tell you, and thank you, I got an official letter of employment from Davis & Polk, and I'm a regular employee of the firm after graduating from college. ”

"That's not my credit. If you really want to thank me, do me a favor. Hearing the news of Jesse's start of school, Chen Mo suddenly thought of Feng Baobao.

"Speak. ”

"Inquire for me about someone, who is also a student at your school. It should be an international student, Chinese, whose name is Feng Baobao, wearing myopic glasses. In addition, she has two good friends......" Chen Mo said and returned to the house on the phone: "One is named Chen Qian, a long-haired girl." The other is Alisa, a blonde, and I want Feng Baobao's phone number. Also, don't tell Feng Baobao your name...... I had some holiday with her. ”

"A girl?"

"Hmm. ”

"You're going to embarrass him, boys have to be generous...... Well, at most a week I get her call. Jesse was about to say something about Chen Mo, but suddenly remembered the way Chen Mo looked at him when he was talking too much before, and quickly shut up.

Hanging up the phone, Chen Mo thought about it and called Luo Yong: "Hey, what are you busy with?"

"Harvest the grapes, make wine. ”

"Have the grapes been harvested in Mount Verde?"

"I'm in Carniros, buying Chardonnay and making refreshing white wines. ”

"Refreshing, isn't it an aperitif?"

"I need to make it so clear, when are you going to be back?"

"Just these days. ”

……

The high-horsepower John Deere tractor was delivered the next day, and the supporting combined tiller had a working width of 13 meters, and the work efficiency was amazing.

Spreading grass does not require deep ploughing, it can be done on soft soil.

Chen Mo was guarding the pasture and sowing the grass seeds, so Chen Mo had nothing to do in the pasture, so he explained to Hawke and Howard and returned to Napa with the two dogs.

At Canyon Estate, the Cabernet Sauvignon grapes look ripe, with clusters of purple-red.

Just as he was about to enter the gate, a strong middle-aged man stopped Chen Moche: "May I ask you what's the matter?"

"Are you?" The man was wearing a security uniform, Chen Mo was sure that he hadn't seen it, and poked his head out: "I'm Chen Mo, the owner of the manor." ”

"Sorry Boss, I don't recognize your car. The middle-aged man gave Chen Mo a military salute.

"What's your name?"

"Berg, Berg Kursende. ”

Chen Mo nodded: "Very good, thank you for your hard work." ”

"It's my job. ”

Berg opened the door to Chen Mo......

At this time, the vineyard workers are most idle, and there is nothing to do. In the new 700-acre park, Zhang Feng is inspecting the irrigation system of the vineyard. The rough irrigation system, in which water pipes are buried on both sides of the vineyard, is mainly done by hand. If you build a 'dropper' or 'self-irrigation system', 700 acres of vineyards will cost millions.

Without stopping, Chen Mo drove directly back to Alat Peak, passing by the wooden house by the vineyard halfway up the mountain, he saw Elson and Los, who were bathing the two sheepdogs.

Elson moved to live in a wooden house here, firstly, the environment here is good, and secondly, Chen Mo is often not at home, so it is convenient to take care of Chen Mo's house.

The local security is very good, but the problem is that Chen Mo's supercar parked in the garage is worth a lot of money. In addition to moving in on his own, Elson built a janitor's house on the road leading to Sonoma. There were two security guards at the front and back entrances, both retired from the Marine Corps, and both were psychologically evaluated by psychiatrists......

Chen Mo didn't know these things now, and Elson told Chen Mo after parking.

Later in the evening, Elson called four security guards and came over to meet with Mr. Chen, so that the employees did not know the boss.

After having dinner at Elson's place, Chen Mo said: "By the way, your salary? After the old guy resigned, you are in charge of the affairs of the manor, I think...... Is it good to give you an annual salary of 350,000 yuan? ”

"No, I'm already very satisfied with my current salary. Elson smiled and shook his head, his current monthly salary was nine thousand dollars.

Elson's salary was not high when he worked under Duanmu Qing, but he had always been a man who lived alone and was very homely, so it didn't matter. But now it's different, he's going to get married, or he's going to get married with Stephen.

Los next to him secretly glared at Elson, and Elson sneered: "Just give me the salary of the CEO of the manor, an annual salary of 300,000." ”

"Only employees have taken the initiative to raise wages, and there is no dislike for employees with high wages. Chen Mo smiled and said, "Has the price of grapes been set this year?"

"It's all booked. The average selling price per ton of grapes is $8,625. The Cabernet Sauvignon plantation on the hill was contracted by Bond Winery for $23,500 per tonne. ”

"There is a row of grapes at the top of the hill, and I am ready to make my own wine. Chen Mo had already told Elson about these things, and reminded him again.

"Yes. ”

"In addition, the position of CEO of Canyon Manor, with an annual salary of 350,000 yuan, you don't shirk it. Rich ......," Chen Mo said, stood up, and prepared to go back to sleep.

Loes hurriedly pulled Elson: "We'll send you." ”

Chen Mo called Ah Huang and Ah Hua and walked back to the top of the mountain.

Canyon Estate, one of the few grape plantations in Napa Valley, is indispensable for socializing if you want to sell grapes at a good price. Chen Mo is not good at this aspect, and he has no interest, so he can only do it with the CEO of the manor.

Chen Mo gave Elson a salary increase, on the one hand, he took good care of the manor, and on the other hand, he needed to socialize in the future, with a monthly salary of 9,000, which was really small for the CEO of the manor.

This year's grapes are $8,625 per tonne, and according to Elson's estimates, the total production this year is about 1,300 tons, which is 200 tons less than last year and the year before. It's just an estimate, and the difference won't be too much.

Chen Mo inherited the manor and was cheated by the tax bureau, but the manor was exempted from taxes for three years. Therefore, the selling price is the income, and at least $10 million will be paid. As long as there are no major accidents, natural disasters and man-made disasters......
