There are two rose gardens in the courtyard, a few large trees after entering, a spacious front yard lawn and a swimming pool of nearly 200 square meters.

This is the most luxurious villa in Canyon Manor.

Chen Mo parked the car by the pool and looked at the green and quiet pool, which was moss.

The stupid Ah Hua glanced at Chen Mo, looked at the pool water again, and drowned its sky-high pig nose in the water, gurgling a few blisters.

The houses on the manor are maintained every year, and the same is true here......

Looking overgrown with weeds, but not completely deserted.

Walk up the stairs and take out the key to open it. Spacious living room, thick dust, appliances or anything is gone, furniture is still there, there is a dust cloth to block.

Chen Mo took off the dust cloth and looked at it, if you want to move over, it is best to ask the decoration company to come and renovate from the new ......

It's a nice place, secluded. Significant is the presence of 4.6 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards over 15 years old, and 36 acres of freely usable terraces.

Coming out of the house, Chen Mo went to the vineyard to take a look. Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, which range from 15 to 18 years old, are pruned in a shrub-shaped way, and the grapes in the garden are already shrub-shaped.

Different pruning methods can be used to create different vine shapes, such as shrub-shaped pruning, single pile pruning, trellis pruning, longitudinal pruning and now the most popular metal mesh cultivation rack.

Shrub-shaped pruning is hard to find in modern vineyards. Bush-shaped vineyards are called old-fashioned vineyards, and although they are considered old-fashioned, bush-shaped vines are prized because they do not require expensive irrigation to survive.

Only vines cultivated by shrub-shaped pruning can be called 'trees', the rest are vines. The vines in the shape of a shrub grow without stakes or trellis supports, and the crown is pruned to the shape of a cup, which takes at least ten years to form a shrub shape. As a result, the size of the individual vines makes mechanization in the vineyard impossible.

The vineyard is the only one of the finest vineyards at Canyon Estate, producing Cabernet Sauvignon grapes that can fetch $25,000 a tonne.

The thickest part of the vine is 15 to 18 years old, and the wrist is larger. The main vine is no more than half a meter high, that is, the 'rootstock', and the grafted part is topped, winding and swaying, and the shape is an ancient shrub that grows naturally.

The planting density of the terraced vineyards is 2.43 meters by 3.57 meters. It is still very spacious for the shrub-shaped vineyards......

In recent years, there has been neglect of management, and the vines are too dense with branches. Seeing this, Chen Mo was a little overjoyed, and in the future, he would open up more than a dozen acres of vineyards, and the rootstock would be saved.

"Ah Huang, get in the car and go home. ”

Ah Huang hadn't had any fun, and when he heard Chen Mo calling, he bit the disobedient Erha angrily and dragged him over.

When he got home, Stephen sat in the living room with a thick stack of bidding books, and saw Chen Mo throw a letter to him: "Zhang Feng's bidding book and offer." ”

Chen Mo opened it and looked at it carefully.

The first page is the company profile, the company's technical strength, and the guaranteed survival rate of the vineyard......

Zhang Feng established a vineyard service company with a registered capital of 1.6 million yuan, 37 employees, and established a 40-acre grape nursery base in Winters.

Seeing the company profile, Chen Mo was a little puzzled, it had only been a few days, and his speed had ...... It's too fast, too.

"I have verified that the information of the new horticultural company is true, and Zhang Feng can be said to have made a desperate bet in order to win this case. His offer was 17.5 million, which was 3.06 million cheaper than the other company. ”

"Do you think he can do it? If the development of 700 acres of wasteland can't be completed next June......

"In fact, it doesn't have to be planted with grapes by June next year. As long as the wasteland is reclaimed and all the planting is completed, it can be delayed until next year and the year after. ”

$17.5 million, not just digging holes in the wasteland and planting grapes, but also 2.9 kilometers of concrete roads and 11.6 kilometers of dirt roads. Irrigation system, cistern in the vineyard...... Maintenance work within one year after planting to ensure the survival rate. $17.5 million, that's all-inclusive.

"What do you think?" Chen Mo asked, Zhang Feng's offer was indeed cheap, and Chen Mo also had his own concerns.

"Zhang Feng's execution ability is quite strong, and if you hand it over to him, it should be completed. Stephen shrugged: "You Chinese are notoriously hard-working, workaholics. ”

"Then choose Zhang Feng. Chen Mo picked up the little golden retriever lying on the ground, and said a little depressed: "I thought I could live the life of a super-rich man, but I didn't want to have to find a bank loan after inheriting the manor...... Growing up so big, people have always owed me money, and I never ......"

"Wait. Stephen frowned and said, "Mr. Duanmu Qing still owns a painting that is not in the list of inheritances, and a few years ago, I was his private investment advisor...... It was 11 years ago that I anonymously auctioned a famous Picasso painting at Christie's in Hong Kong, which sold for $39.99 million. I brought that painting back to the United States and handed it to your master by hand. ”

Chen Mo was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look at Stephen: "Really?"

Stephen's brows also furrowed: "The money flowed out of the United States through an abnormal procedure. When your master died, there were many people around him, as well as the tax collector. The list of estates is only stocks and estates...... That painting, your master didn't say, and I didn't ask. ”

"Will it still be in the master's old wooden house?"

Stephen shook his head, "I don't know. ”

The two hurriedly went to the old wooden house, rummaged through the cabinets, and found the 11-year-old Christie's bill in the bedside table, and then found the painting "Three Women Bathing" in the gap between the wardrobe and the wall.

Oil painting, bright colors and rich layering.

Maybe Chen Mo doesn't have artistic cells, so I really can't see what is good about this painting. Why is it worth 40 million......

What made Chen Mo even more speechless was that the master and his old man were too casual, even if it wasn't good-looking, after all, it was 40 million, so he just threw it in the corner casually......

"It's good that I didn't lose it. If this painting is sold, it may be worth 50 million ...... now," Stephen said, shaking his head: "I don't know anything about art, this thing is very valuable, and there are many people who are willing to collect it." ”

Chen Mo cautiously held the famous painting: "My master, does he have anything else left?" It's so scary that the famous painting of 40 million dollars is casually thrown in the corner. ”

"I've always been in charge of his funding. ”

The search continued in the room, and nothing else was found.

After leaving the wooden house and returning home, Chen Mo put the painting into the space, and then looked at the photo of him and his master on the computer desk.

"You're really ......"

"You don't really like that painting. Or will you sell it in vain?"

Chen Mo hugged the photo, and in the photo, the master and his old man were smiling......

You laughed. Then I'll say yes to you. Chen Mo smiled and said to himself.

40 million paintings, in Stephen's words, at that time, the ghost was obsessed with the investment of this painting. Now it seems to be his most failed business......
