(339 Park Avenue), Citibank's headquarters.

Ye Mo followed Harry, went directly to the VIP area, opened a Citibank account, and deposited all the money.

$195.22 million is a very large amount of money for any bank. Citibank automatically upgraded Ye Mo's account to VIP level, and asked him if he would like to become a Citibank black card user.

As far as Ye Mo knows, the Citi Black Card is the top international high-end credit card, and only the Amex Black Gold Credit Card, known as the "king of cards", can match it in the world. In order to provide customers with a higher quality of service, Citibank will assign a dedicated personal advisor to each black card customer. For example, financial assistants, investment advisors, and membership in certain high-end clubs...... For example, if you value a limited edition supercar but don't know how to get it, these questions are just a phone call away.

For this kind of black card with other super functions such as coercion, although he has to pay a lot of annual fees, Ye Mo still handled one.

After handling the business, Harry took Ye Mo to the VIP lounge to sit for a while, and a guy who looked a little similar to Harry but was much younger walked in. He was dressed in a modest suit and was somewhat bald. stepped forward, first shook hands with Ye Mo, and then said, "Fox. Roger. Harry. Sorry, I'm late for a big case. ”

"Harry, my dear brother. Mr. Ye is a big customer, if you want to make Ye angry because of your so-called big case, you can cry. Harry joked, quipping.

Ye Mo smiled, shook hands with him, smiled, and said, "We just sat down not long ago." ”

"I apologize again." Harry laughed.

The conversation was lighthearted, and with Harry's verbal movements, it gave the feeling of familiarity that they had already been friends.

"Ye wants to invest in wineries, Napa Valley or Sonoma County. Any good recommendations? I know you have a lot of resources. ”

"Oh my God, really? That's too much of a coincidence. There happens to be a winery entrusted to our bank......"

The owner of Park Ge Winery is a Wall Street financier, because of an investment mistake at the beginning of the year, the capital chain was disconnected, and he is entrusting the bank to find a new owner for the winery. With a history of 100 years, Park Ge Winery has changed owners. 100 Years Old Winery is already a historic winery in the Napa Valley, but the plantation is small, with only 10 acres of premium vineyards and 50 acres of premium vineyards. In the hands of this capitalist, Park Ge Winery has expanded to 13,200 acres of undeveloped land in the Waka Mountains on the edge of the Napa Valley. Large areas of undeveloped flat land and rolling hills with sporadic oak trees, oversized rocks, slopes with bushes, and lots of wildlife. Some rugged terrain, exposed rocks, mountains and canyons, and clear streams combine to create a picture that is breathtakingly beautiful.

The financiers originally planned to turn this place into a tourist ranch. The completed building includes a 2,000-square-meter owner-occupied mansion on the top of the hill, a golf course at the bottom of the hill, a Gothic-style restaurant, and the unrenovated Park Song Hotel. Yiqiē was ready, but before it could be opened, it encountered a financial crisis, and the financier was almost bankrupt.

In addition to the newly built buildings, there are old buildings, a small brewery in the style of a medieval European castle, and a row of houses where workers live.

The scale of the vineyard is smaller, only 60 acres, with an annual production of about 12,000 cases of wine. But Ye Mo fell in love with the place at first sight, and the top vineyards in the Napa Valley are hard to come by, and with 13,200 acres of land on the edge of the Waka Mountains and above-ground buildings, Park Ge Winery is asking for a whopping $180 million.

Land prices in Napa Valley are rising year on year, and it's definitely the right place to invest in it. And the financier's offer of $180 million for the operation here should be said to be decent.

A deal involving hundreds of millions of dollars is not something that can be decided in a few words. Ye Mo found a lawyer and a business consultant to negotiate and bargain again and again. The final price was stuck at $171 million, but with a lump sum payment, it was clear that the financiers were at the end of their rope and in dire need of a large sum of cash.

It's a good place, and it's still freehold.

Once the basic agreement is reached, the rest is left to the lawyer.

They met in a luxury villa in the suburbs of New York, and the lawyers of both sides read the terms of the contract one by one, read them very carefully, and made several phone calls during the period, which took a whole day, and finally when the lawyers of both sides were sure that they were correct, Ye Mo signed the contract.

Fill in the check, and the Baige Winery officially belongs to Ye Mo.

Saying goodbye to Harry, Ye Mo rushed to the airport impatiently. After more than an hour of plane ride, I picked up the car in the parking lot of the airport, and GPS navigated Napa Valley to determine the route of Park Ge Estate.

Raptor F150, a masterpiece of tough guy pickup trucks, fasten your seat belt, and press the accelerator with surging power.

Napa Valley is just north of San Francisco and a little over an hour's drive from the airport.

Entering Napa, you can see the vines as far as you can see, the straight road is endless, surrounded by green vineyards, and you can see the hills not far away, which gradually rise and fall. At the end of May, the afternoon sun is strong, and Napa Valley is refracted with a colorful halo against the background of blue skies and white clouds. Today, Wednesday, there are not many guests who come to Napa to play, Ye Mo opened the car window, slowed down the car, and enjoyed the beautiful scenery along the way. Turning into a mountain winding road, into the mountain range, looking down at the square vineyards and atmospheric manor buildings, it is no wonder that Napa Valley is a tourist destination that the whole country yearns for.

Breathe in the fresh air, look at the greenery, and listen to country music on the radio.

"That's life!" Ye Mo shouted.

Rounding the mountain road, through the car window, he could already see his hilltop mansion in the distance. Walk through a vast expanse of neatly arranged vineyards, wineries built with small castles. At the end of the road is the commercial district of Park Ge Winery, a golf course by the lake, a Gothic restaurant, and a $65 million hotel......

Because the hotel has not yet opened, it is a little deserted.

There was a roadblock on the road leading to the top of the mountain, and Ye Mo was stopped: "Sorry sir, behind is a private territory, which is not open to the public now." ”

Ye Mo poked his head out and said, "It's me." ”

Robert, the janitor, was a white man in his fifties, tall and a little fat: "Oh, sorry boss. I couldn't see through the window, I didn't recognize you. ”

Ye Mo smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's your job." ”

Then he left his phone number for Robert, said goodbye, and Ye Mo went up the mountain. Parking the car on the lawn outside the villa, Ye Mo sighed with emotion. The adventures of life are really wonderful, and it seems that everything is possible.

The mansion covers an area of more than 2,000 square meters, and the house adopts a horizontal design, with three floors high and very wide. There are nine bedrooms in total and ten bathrooms. The interior has pale yellow wooden floors, and there is a fireplace in the large living room on the first floor, with oil paintings and three elk heads with more than a dozen forks hanging on the fireplace wall. The sofa is also in the color of the floor, and there is a 72-inch LCD TV.

In addition to the living room, there is also a home theater on the first floor that can accommodate 10 to 20 people, equipped with top-of-the-line LOYY sound. A 150-square-meter gymnasium is fully equipped with a bathroom for treadmills, barbells, climbing machines, rowing machines, etc. Then there is the second floor, which is mainly a guest room, five guest rooms, and a large study. The rooms are fully furnished, but there are no bedding and some of the usual clothes......

The third floor is the most luxurious, with a master bedroom, a second bedroom, a balcony and a rooftop pool.

The entrance to the wine cellar is on the ground floor and occupies the entire underground area of the villa. Only aged red wine is placed in it, and aged red wine is also red wine with aging potential, which is a relative concept, which refers to the wine that has been left for a certain period of time to reach the best taste, whether it is five, ten, twenty or more than twenty years, which can only be understood in comparison.

More than 90% of the wines on the market cannot be aged, and wines with aging value are generally more expensive. At Park Paint, only 10 acres of Grand Cru vineyards produce wines that have aged value, with 1,000 cases per year.

The wine stored in the entire cellar is worth about $5 million. The most expensive of them all, the 1992 Park Ge Five-Star Red Wine, still has 15 cases and 90 bottles left in the cellar. Twenty-four years later, these twenty-one wines have not yet reached their peak. The grapes were the best in the history of Park Gor Estate, producing the first five-star wine ever made by Park Gle, which is arguably the jewel of the winery, and last year sold five bottles, each selling for a whopping $15,800.
