Wilcer Winery has a long-term purchase contract at Canyon Estate, primarily for grapes from vineyards 13, 14 and 17, totaling 11.6 acres.

The cooperation that Winery Wilser said is actually the contracting of these three vineyards, and the operation plan of the vineyards in the future will be all formulated by Winery Wilser. Annual rent is paid based on the average output of the last three years, with an additional 8% of the total value of wine produced from the 11.6 acres of vineyards. It is in the form of fixed rent and dividends......

The annual rent is 580,000 + 8% of the wine produced. Canyon Estate manages the vineyard at the behest of Wilcer Winery, and the vineyard's management team is still in charge of the estate.

Seeing Haberon away, Chen Mo took out the plan and read it.

This is very beneficial for the estate, which is a ten-year contract, which avoids market risks to the greatest extent and is equivalent to buying a full agricultural insurance. Correspondingly, the estate will definitely have to increase the cost of managing the vineyard.

Wilser wanted a purely organic vineyard, but the winery was not strong enough to buy a new vineyard. Vineyards with 13 to 17 years old can cost around $300,000 per acre even in the Verde Mountains. Winery Wilcer is indeed more famous, but it is limited in size, producing less than 20,000 cases of wine per year. More than 60 percent of the raw materials are purchased, which means that he owns 20 acres of vineyards.

'Renting' vineyards is not the first of its kind at Wilser Winery.

Most of the vineyards in Napa Valley are in the hands of individual growers, and some quality-conscious winegrowers, such as the famous Bond Winery, source their grapes from long-term independent growers. Growers manage the vineyards according to the winery's requirements, and usually sign the relevant contracts in advance, which is equivalent to leasing the vineyards in disguise. There are also growers who own the best vineyards and are able to work on an equal footing with the winery and even get a higher share of the profits......

For example, the Cusende plantations do not sell the grapes directly, but ferment them and sell them in oak barrels to wineries and wineries, and a ton of Cabernet Sauvignon can sell for more than $100,000.

"An acre of grapes is completely organically managed, how much does it cost to manage it in a year?" Chen Mo showed Jeff the content of the plan on organic management.

Organic management does not mean abandoning the machine, but it is necessary to minimize the use of the machine, in addition to the strict control of fertilization.

Jeff has been working in the vineyard for more than a decade, and he still knows how to estimate the cost of vineyard management.

"If only 11.6 acres of vineyards were organically managed, the annual management cost would have been around $200,000. The larger the scale, the lower the operating costs, and if you scale up to 200 acres, the cost per acre can be reduced to about 13,000. Jeff estimated, then said, "I'll have to make a table for the details." ”

"Leave it to me tomorrow. Chen Mo nodded, glanced at Ye Xiaoxi, who was teasing the bantam on the side of the road, with a gentle smile on his face, and continued: "The current operating cost of the manor, this year, how much is the cost of an acre. ”

"It should be around 9 thousand. I'll make a form and hand it over to you tomorrow. ”

“OK。 ”

The operating costs of the estate are mainly labor expenses, with 24 workers and a monthly salary of $80,000. Another CEO with an annual salary of 350,000 yuan...... The annual labor expenditure is 1.31 million. In addition, the machinery and equipment, fuel oil, fertilizer, etc. in the manor actually only occupy a small head.

It was past four o'clock in the afternoon.

Chen Mo looked at the time and walked up to Ye Xiaoxi: "Let's go out shopping and buy some vegetables and come back, and cook a sumptuous Chinese meal in the evening." ”

"Hmm. Ye Xiaoxi clapped his hands and stood up from the ground and sat in the passenger seat of the four-wheel drive off-road: "You come to drive, I will be nervous when I get to the city." ”

"There is no distinction between left and right, this is a problem of sense of direction, and it should not affect driving. Chen Mo dropped the two dogs, started the car and left the manor.

Ye Xiaoxi stuck out his tongue: "I'm a road idiot...... The sense of direction is particularly poor, and it is difficult to concentrate while driving. Otherwise, how do you think you can know me......"

"You're still reasonable. Chen Mo rolled his eyes: "I've seen road idiots, road idiots have been able to fail the driver's license test, you are still the first." Chen Mo said that he remembered that the two met: "Then your situation, even if you ride out on a bicycle, it is particularly dangerous?"

Ye Xiaoxi lowered his head a little unnaturally and diverted the topic: "Your car doesn't have a license plate, the police will be in trouble if they see it." ”

"Don't worry, I know there's a small road where there are police patrols at night and not during the day. Moreover, such a small 4x4 SUV is not managed by the police in the countryside. ”

Napa Valley is a famous wine valley with many wineries and tourists. In order to ensure road traffic safety, there are also many road traffic police in Napa Valley. The road traffic police mainly investigate drunk driving, and unbranded four-wheel drive off-road like Chen Mo, even if he sees it, he doesn't bother to care, after all, it is a rural place. It's not usually tourists who drive such cars...... Like Stephen, he drove a four-wheel drive to and from Napa more than once.

"How about having a barbecue at night?" call Rayong and them over ......" Coming to the supermarket, Chen Mo took Ye Xiaoxi's hand and was reluctant to let go, and asked.

"Okay. But I will only cook simple food. Ye Xiaoxi said embarrassedly: "I will learn to cook Chinese food in the future." ”

"In many of our families, men are cooking. For example, in my family, although my mother often cooks, my father's cooking skills are better. Chen Mo smiled and walked to the seafood area: "If you are too lazy to study, it doesn't matter if I cook in the future." ”

Ye Xiaoxi puffed out his cheeks, looked at Chen Mo and nodded, and whispered, "It's so good......"

Chen Mo picked up some fresh oysters, crab and four-pound tuna, bought some vegetables to eat grilled, and then looked for ingredients at the market that could be used as sauces.

When he got home, it was almost evening, and Chen Mo called Luo Yong: "Come and have barbecue." ”

"I just started streaming...... Tell me something. ”

Say. ”

"It's okay for me to come over with a live stream? It's mainly your girlfriend, I'm afraid she'll mind. ”

"Wait. Chen Mo covered the microphone and said to Ye Xiaoxi: "Luo Yong is an online anchor, he just turned on the live broadcast ......"

Rayong anchors have become a profession, occasionally live outdoors, and regularly live broadcast PUBG at night. It has only been a few months since Rayong started the live broadcast, and the attention of the live broadcast room has reached 500,000, and now it should be close to 600,000, in addition to his liking funny character, it also has a lot to do with his own efforts. Live streaming on time every day, this is the minimum requirement.

Everyone is familiar with online anchors, and a considerable number of young people will watch live broadcasts, even if they don't watch live broadcasts, they will know some anchors by clicking on video websites. But watching live streaming doesn't mean you're willing to participate, especially for those who are shy......

"Will I appear in the live broadcast?" Ye Xiaoxi asked.

"At least say hello to the audience. ”

Ye Xiaoxi nodded: "No problem." But don't let me have too much interaction, I'm not good at Chinese. ”
