The next day, Xiao Yifei was woken up by the sudden sound of a tractor. He came out and saw that it was David tinkering with the tractor:

"Morning, boss."

"David, what are you doing with a tractor?"

"Today, we have to crush the branches from the 50 acres of vineyards and install drip irrigation equipment so that it won't get in the way."

"Oh, no wonder you tossed so early."

"Sorry, I didn't pay attention. When Jimmy used to stay, they woke up very early and we didn't notice the problem. By the way, boss, Bo's villa is vacant, when are you going to move there? ”

Xiao Yifei grinned. This matter is really troublesome, he used to be afraid of living alone too remotely, thinking about building his own villa in the resort. But after spending a few nights at 40 Beverly Park, he didn't think it was so scary to live alone.

"I haven't thought about it yet, so when I'm thinking about it, you can go and get busy first."

David said:

"What's there to think about, squeak when you want to move, we'll help you move things."

Not long after Xiao Yifei had breakfast, he received two phone calls. So he walked through the vineyard with the black nose and came to the winery.

"Greg, how's the Visitor Center going?"

"They've repaired the road, they're leveling the foundation, and it's on schedule, and it looks like it's going to be completed on schedule."

"And the problem you just said?"

"Boss, I came back and thought about it, after buying those 80 acres of Chardonnay vineyards, our wine cellar may not be enough."

The winery's cellar was excavated when the winery was established, and it went deep into the belly of Mantou Hill behind the winery, but the cellar at that time was excavated manually, and the height was not high, and the capacity was limited.

"Is there room for expansion in the current wine cellar?"

"No, and there are so many oak barrels in it. Expansion is almost impossible. ”

The two discussed and rebuilt a wine cellar, but there was a site. It is possible to dig into the inside of Mantou Mound from another angle and height, so that another sake cellar can be dug up. In addition, the cellars that can be dug up with TBMs are very tall, the capacity is huge, and the progress is quite fast.

"Will digging another cellar have any effect on the visitor center at the top of the mountain?"

"I asked, and it didn't have much impact."

Xiao Yifei thought about the topography of the wine cellar now.

"Okay, let's dig one."

"Still have questions?"

"Yes, at the moment our largest parking lot is where Mrs. Karin used to be rented. According to the plan, it will be turned into a pool, then our parking lot will not be enough. ”

That's a problem. The new visitor center is built, and with Xiao Yifei's plan, the winery will become more famous, so that there will be more tourists, and the resort's visitors will also have to park.

"What about your opinion?"

Greg advises:

"Or we'll expand the parking lot on the hillside."

"How to expand?"

The two simply left the office to take a look at the scene.

Originally, the location chosen by Greg was on Buntou Hill by Tubs Street, and in order to plant green trees, it was leveled to form a long flat land from the oak barrel factory to the winery, which was more than 1 meter higher than Tubs Street and more than 100 meters long. If it can be used as a parking lot, it is not small, and it can park more than 40 cars vertically, which is enough to replace the main parking lot that has been dug into a pond.

However, the downside here is in the middle of the flat ground. It is only more than two meters wide by Mantou Mountain, and if you want to get the same width, you have to dig the mountain. It is a small train track above, and the slope protection must be considered when digging the mountain, so the amount of work is too large.

Xiao Yifei felt:

"I can only buy another piece of land as a parking lot."

Greg nodded, obviously this is the only way to do it now, but there is still open space nearby. Even if there is, it's too far away from the winery to let tourists park far away. Then walk to the winery or resort.

The two simply climbed to the top of Mantou Mountain again, and several machines were busy working with black smoke.

Standing here, looking around through the gaps in the trees. There's really no place for it.

To the north of Tubs Road, there is only the Oak Cooperage. Xiao Yifei definitely can't buy the oak barrel factory that is operating normally and turn it into a parking lot. And south of Tubs, apart from dwellings and vineyards, is a horse farm, and there is no vacant land.

The closest to the winery is on the other side of the Napa River, next to the Napa River, which is very close to the Château, as long as you build a pedestrian bridge in this location, cross the Napa River to the shore of the Jade Lake, and walk less than 100 meters along the embankment to the Château Château. Unfortunately, to think of this clearing, visitors need to turn 500 meters in advance and then turn again after 200 meters. At such a distance, tourists will definitely be baffled. In addition, there is another family winery within 500 meters, which obviously destroys the harmony of the neighborhood.

Xiao Yifei was too lazy to look for it, waved his hand and said:

"Forget it, don't look for it for the time being, anyway, there are still 4 months before there are many tourists, and there is still time to find it slowly.

Xiao Yifei waited for a while, and made a second call to him, the designer of the resort, Comrade Bruce Wang, and rushed here.

"Boss Xiao, you're finally back."

When Xiao Yifei was still in Los Angeles, Wang Feng got the design of the resort, Xiao Yifei looked at his design and planning through the computer, was generally satisfied, pointed out a few small problems, and asked him to get a final draft of the renderings, he finally waited for Xiao Yifei to return to Napa, and rushed to let Xiao Yifei check it.

The design drawings well reflect Xiao Yifei's requirements, a slender pond, along the shape of the eggplant hill, meandering, has been connected with the current jade lake, in the wide area of the lake, there are two water pavilions, more than ten Chinese-style villas built according to the mountain of the eggplant hill. In order to reflect the combination of mountains and rivers, in addition to the swimming pool, a small river was dug on the top of the eggplant hill, and the water of the river flowed into the pond along the sides of these villas, which served as a landscape and a separation between the villas.

The villa reserved by Xiao Yifei for himself is the only building located on the top of Eggplant Hill, and the view of the whole villa is very broad.

"Awesome, it's very good to have 8 percent of this effect when you fix it."

"Can we start construction now?"

"Is the project budget out?"

"It's out, KPMG has already reviewed it."

"Okay, I'll give this design to the town government later, and I believe they can approve it soon, and then it will be able to be constructed."

The renovation and expansion of the winery was completed because Bo had already completed the procedures, and as soon as the design drawings came out, the town's approval procedures were quickly passed, and the construction could start within a period of time. However, the resort is brand new and must be reviewed by the town's planning before construction.

Catherine, who tracks the progress of the stock deal, called, and the SFC's reply approving the stock deal was faxed to the Sterling Law Firm and Xiao Yifei's Isis Investment Company. The review took only a few days, making it one of the fastest deals to be reviewed in the U.S. bureaucracy. On the one hand, this benefited from Lei Shidong's face, and secondly, it also benefited from the early intervention of the China Securities Regulatory Commission in the negotiations.

The next thing doesn't need Xiao Yifei to intervene, Ryan and Catherine plus the people of National Entertainment can handle it, Xiao Yifei only needs to wait for the stock to be transferred to Isis Investment.

Just as the winery's new barrels were filled, Xiao Yifei took the opportunity to hold a drinking party to celebrate the completion of the fermentation of the new wine, inviting not only the people from the winery, but also the town's town councilors, and of course, Sheriff Jonathan and Charlene Galina from the Planning Bureau. He needed to talk to these people about the planning of the resort.

When Xiao Yifei spoke, he nodded slightly:

"In addition to celebrating the end of the fermentation of new wine, this party also celebrates the success of the business I talked about some time ago."

Sure enough, during the free time, two councillors asked him about his business, one of which was Deputy Mayor Michael. Xiao Yifei pretended to be disapprehensive and said:

"It's nothing, it's just to buy some CBS shares from Mr. Lei Shidong."

Then he digressed and showed the town councilors and Charlene renderings of the resort.

Everyone has long heard that Xiao Yifei wants to build a resort, and of course the officials are happy about this kind of job increase, not to mention that workers are needed during the construction period, but also service personnel after completion, which is good for reducing the unemployment rate in the town. In addition, from this rendering, the resort is really beautiful, at least there will be no damage to the overall environment of the town.

But not everyone thought it was okay, and the town magistrate, James, whispered:

"This Chinese style is indeed beautiful, but will it not be in harmony with us as a whole?"

Deputy Mayor Michael immediately retorted to him:

"No, I think it's pretty good."

"But this thing has to cut down a lot of trees, and I'm afraid that the residents in the neighborhood will make trouble."

"Aren't there a lot of plants on this picture? Now those trees are all miscellaneous trees, and it's okay to cut them down. ”

"I'm still a little worried."

"Don't worry, our town really doesn't have Chinese style architecture. You know, the establishment of our town is due to the contribution of Chinese workers, and there are still Chinese workers' sheds in the museum. Now that the first Chinese-style building has finally appeared in our town, it just makes up for the lack of our town and lets everyone know that we are a harmonious community, built by people of all colors and from all countries. ”

James didn't dare to say anything, he was afraid that he would be labeled racist by Michael again.

Charlene played the round:

"James, don't worry, we're going to scrutinize it, and we're going to keep them from damaging the environment. I just flipped through the information called by Xiao, and it seems that I am very well prepared, and I believe that the resort will be well integrated into our town after completion. ”

Later, I don't know who proposed, but I actually removed the champagne and wine and replaced them with spirits, and Xiao Yifei drank a few glasses with someone unconsciously. (To be continued)
