Stephen handed Chen Mo a cut cigar. It seems that he has been waiting here for a long time......

"Sit. Stephen gestured to the couch.

"Hey, this is my home. Chen Mo rolled his eyes and looked at the envelope in his hand again.

Stephen laughed: "In the blink of an eye, you have inherited Canyon Manor for almost five months. The affairs of the manor are also on the right track, and Elson's ability is good......"

"What are you ......," Chen Mo interrupted him.

"My letter of resignation. Stephen handed the envelope to Chen Mo: "Canyon Manor doesn't need me much anymore, and my newly established investment company has a lot of things. In addition, Angela and I are planning to get married next month, and we will send you an invitation letter when the time comes. ”

Chen Mo took the envelope: "Okay, I wish you all a long life." ”

"Thank you. Stephen smiled and said, "I thought you would be very reluctant to ...... me."

"I don't think you're going to retire with me. Chen Mo spread out his hand and said with a smile.

Stephen's departure Chen Mo had expected it early on, and there was no surprise.

The two didn't say much, and sat down to drink......

Although he had expected it, Chen Mo was really reluctant to let him go, but knowing that he would stay in Napa in the future, he would not be too sad, and he would live very close and it would be convenient to move around, at least he would not lose contact.

Early the next morning, Chen Mo went to the canyon to help Stephen pack his things. Ah Hua seemed to know that Stephen was leaving the manor, and she kept screaming, coming over from time to time to rub Chen Mo, and then running to Ah Huang's side to be coquettish, but licking the sadness of parting.

Stephen packed his luggage, and the convoy that came to move also came, but Ah Hua, the dog, couldn't get the car.

"The guy who can't be raised...... Stephen smiled bitterly, patted Chen Mo on the shoulder and said: "Ah Hua is closer to you than to me, a little expert in demolishing the house, and only you can shout it." Otherwise, it will stay with you, and I want it to come and take a look. ”

"Are you willing?" Chen Mo patted Ah Hua who was hiding behind him and said.

"That's it, I'll go back. Stephen wanted to pat Ah Hua on the head before leaving, and the guy whined and jumped away, but when Stephen turned around and got into the car, he ran over again and called at Stephen, as if to ask......

"Boss, Stephen will be back, he's thinking about the wine in the cellar. Elson reassured.

Chen Mo smiled: "I know." He later lived in Napa County, and I was in the same community...... Old thing, it's quite heartless. ”

Stephen took all his luggage and the sports car in the garage, leaving behind a dog who could dismantle the house.

Ah Hua looked at the convoy that Stephen had left, and called out sadly for a few minutes, but only for a few minutes, and then played happily with Ah Huang.

"Let's go around the vineyards. Chen Mo drove out the four-wheel drive off-road, pulled Elson together, and walked around the vineyard one by one: "This year's grapes are good?"

Elson said: "So far, it looks good...... This year's climate is dry, and the yield must be less than last year. It's a matter of climate, and that's true throughout the Napa region, where there is a massive reduction in yields, and grape prices are definitely higher than last year. Elson is optimistic......

It's mid-August.

In Napa Valley, some of the grapes used to make refreshing sparkling wine have already begun to be harvested.

Cabernet Sauvignon is a late-ripening grape that is usually harvested from late September to early October and lasts until mid-November.

As a rule of thumb in previous years, the Cabernet Sauvignon harvest at Canyon Estate starts in mid-October, depending on the buyer's wishes.

"Hi, Mr. Chen. Zhang Feng saw Chen Mo and Elson and trotted over.

"Mr. Zhang. Chen Mo smiled and hugged Zhang Feng and handed him a cigar: "Is there something wrong?"

"The batch of organic fertilizer that I had ordered was out of order and we had to buy it from other producers. In addition, I would like to pay a sum of money from you for the purchase of organic fertilizer. Zhang Feng said embarrassedly, his face a little embarrassed.

"What's going on?"

"In May, I ordered 15,000 tons of organic fertilizer at Juilliard Ranch to improve the soil. Originally, the contract was signed, but I didn't expect the price of organic fertilizer to rise sharply in the past few months...... Organic fertilizer, which used to cost $90 a ton, is now hard to buy at $120. At the beginning, I was also confused, thinking that the acquaintance did not mention the breach of contract in the contract......"

Elson frowned: "It's your own negligence at work. In addition, our contract is very detailed, and every fund is given to you according to the progress of the project. ”

Chen Mo waved his hand: "How much is missing?"

"About half a million. Zhang Feng felt uncomfortable in his heart.

Taking over this project will definitely make money, according to the original calculation, there will be about two million profits. But I never expected that the price of organic fertilizer would skyrocket this year, as well as the negligence of the previous work, not only to see the loss of profits, but also to the current construction progress is almost impossible to start.

The construction of the vineyard and the amount of money to be paid for each step are clearly written in the contract. It is mainly a question of Zhang Feng's qualifications, after all, it is a newly established company with few assets......

"You can get a bank loan. Chen Mo pinched his eyebrows and looked at Zhang Fengdao.

Zhang Feng almost cried when he looked like he was willing to lend him a loan......

He already has a lot of loans in the bank, and before he completes Chen Mo's project, it is enough to repay the bank interest every month. In addition, I borrowed a lot of money from relatives and friends, and recently someone has been urging the debt, which is really anxious. He only had less than $20,000 left in his company's account, and if he didn't have the funds to settle in in time......

Chen Mo looked at Elson, and then at Zhang Feng: "The matter of the vineyard cannot be delayed. You look for Elson in the afternoon and give you 500,000 first. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Chen. Zhang Feng breathed a sigh of relief, and his weather-beaten face turned red.

Chen Mo smiled: "The two of us don't want to be polite." In addition, the project must ensure quality and quantity, and if the final third-party acceptance is not passed, you will not get a cent of the millions of final payments. ”

"Eat a trench and grow wise, and similar things will not happen in the future. ”

In the past few months, Zhang Feng has leveled 700 acres of land, divided it into 99 parks, and has set up an irrigation system.

The fertility of the land in the mountains is relatively poor. Bury more fertilizer before planting to help the growth of seedlings......

Looking at the endless yellow earth, Chen Mo stretched his waist. From planting to harvesting, it takes many years, and what will it be like when the vines grow......

Zhang Feng's nervous Chen Mo refused to prefabricate the project money, and now the whole person is a lot easier, and suddenly remembered that he recently got acquainted with a few ranchers in order to buy cheap organic fertilizer, and said: "Mr. Chen, your manor needs a lot of organic fertilizer a year, I don't know if you are interested in investing in a ranch?"

"When did you take over the real estate agent's job again...... Chen Mo said with a smile.

Zhang Feng smiled: "There is a big drought this year, and there are many ranches in northern California that can't survive. If you buy a ranch now, you should be able to make a profit. ”

Chen Mo shrugged: "The landlord's family has no surplus grain, so he can't afford it." ”

Bought a house, bought a yacht, and took a stake in Stephen's investment company. Now Chen Mo still has more than one million on his personal account.

Speaking of the ranch, Chen Mo looked at Stephen: "How much organic fertilizer does our manor need in a year?"

"Not much is needed right now. However, when the new vineyard grows, the organic fertilizer needed for a year is about ...... Six thousand tons. ”

"Six thousand...... "This number is so surprising that Chen Mo just ordered a cigar and almost choked.

"What is actually needed is only more. ”
