Now it remains for Xiao Yifei's own residential problem. He really didn't want to live in Beau's secluded villa, even if it was Jimmy. He didn't want to go to the bee hill where Barrett lived, it was too remote, and California was full of black workers, and he didn't have a chance to cry in case of an accident. It's true that you can hide in space, but you don't know how to hide when you're asleep.

If the "haunted house" of No. 1457 next to it can be bought, only a few trees on the hillside will be kept, and the rest will be planted with lawns, so that it will definitely not give people the feeling of living in a primeval forest, and the view is much wider, and the safety is greatly improved, it is really a good place to live.

But what should I do with the number 1473 next to me? Xiao Yifei's first thought was to build a resort, but unfortunately there are no hot springs within the winery, and the territory is smaller, so there is no feature in building a resort, which cannot attract tourists. Xiao Yifei decided to go and see it on the ground.

After walking around this eggplant mountain bag, Xiao Yifei still had no clue, and finally, when he saw the jade lake next to him, an idea popped up in his head. Although Yuhu Lake claims to have Chinese characteristics, in fact, only three bridges and pavilions on two small islands have Chinese characteristics, so why not expand the scale and simply build a classical Chinese garden? And these two families cover an area is not small, plus the Jade Lake can have more than 20 acres, the Humble Administrator's Garden is only 120 acres, the size is about the same, I believe that it should be able to make an American version of the Jiangnan Garden, and it follows the eggplant-shaped mountain bag to build some small villas, in addition to living by themselves, but also to provide accommodation services for tourists.

After deciding on the plan, Xiao Yifei only needs to wait for news from Concubine Yue now.

After a few days of waiting, Xiao Yifei took down the two families next to the winery at a price of 3.7 million. Now, on the east bank of the Napa River, north of Tubbs Road, except for an oak coop factory that covers less than 1 acre, it can be said that it all belongs to Xiao Yifei.

Concubine Yue was very interested in Xiao Yifei's Jiangnan garden construction plan, she originally studied architecture in China, although it was not classical garden architecture, but it was also involved, she took the initiative to help Xiao Yifei find a design company.

originally thought that Concubine Yue would recommend a domestic company, but when she heard that what she recommended was actually a company in San Francisco, Xiao Yifei was a little surprised:

"Is the company you looking for reliable? Don't make me a half-in-the-middle and unforeign. ”

"How can it be unreliable, although it is an American company, but the chief designer is from China, and his company is also from Taiwan, how can it be different."

"I thought you found me a domestic company."

"The communication in China is not so convenient, and the price of reliable ancient buildings in China is much more expensive than here."

"Okay, let's get the blueprints first. If you can't get it right, you just need to change people. ”

As soon as Concubine Yue was sent away, the mobile phone rang. Who is this, how is it a domestic number?

"Hey, Xiao Yifei?"

"It's me, you're it?"

"Guess."

Yes, I remembered, Wang Nan.

"Oh, you're a kitten, huh?"

"You're the kitten."

"That's the puppy?"

Wang Nan was crazy, and her sharp voice came through her mobile phone: "Xiao Yifei." ”

"Okay, Wang Nan, what's the matter?"

"Did you buy that winery?"

Khan, why did so many people guess it?

"What's wrong?"

"I'm going to play."

"I'm still living in a hotel now, I don't even have a place to live, it's inconvenient for the time being, let's go after a while."

"Why don't you have a place to live?"

Xiao Yifei could only explain the current situation and dispelled the idea of this girl coming for the summer vacation.

Then I received a call from Shirley.

"Xiao, did you receive a call from Wang Nan?"

"Got it, I said, you introduced me to Napa Winery in the first place, I've been in California for so long, and you haven't come to see me?"

"Sorry, I was busy with a summer vacation homework report some time ago, and I just finished it. I saw your news on TV, Chinese tycoon. ”

Sweat. "When are you free, come over and have fun?"

"You really invited me? Just now Wang Nan said that you rejected her. ”

"You'll find out when you come here."

"Okay, I'll be there in the afternoon."

"Do you need me to pick you up?"

"No, I'll drive here."

Although the three of them only played together in France for 10 days, Xiao Yifei could see from Wang Nan's boldness in buying wine and champagne in France that her family background was definitely not ordinary, and Shirley was relatively save. He was worried that Wang Nan would not be able to get rid of it, so he felt a little respectful and distant, and he was not burdened by the American Shirley.

Shirley's family is also in California, in the small town of Oran in Glen County, and his grandfather has been running a restaurant in Los Angeles since his grandfather's generation, and after making money, his father didn't want to continue to be a chef, so he went to the town of Oran in the Central Canyon to buy a plot of land to grow fruit.

To get here from Oran, take Highway 5 along the Central Gorge, then Highway 50 and then Highway 29, crossing Mount St. Helens to the north of the winery.

At about two o'clock in the afternoon, Shirley said that she had arrived at Robert State Park, and Xiao Yifei knew that this place was just north of the winery, about 10 kilometers to the winery, so he drove a pickup truck to the first bend of Route 29 out of Napa Valley to pick her up.

After a while, a half-new Japanese car stopped on the side of the road with its lights flashing.

Xiao Yifei now stands outside a continuous climbing curve, where a small hillside has been turned into a platform overlooking the winery and vineyards.

"Don't stop on the side of the road, pull over."

Shirley slowly drove the car to the platform.

"What are you doing here?"

"Long time no see, come hug one?"

"Die, Alice (that is, Wang Nan) told me to be careful, saying that you saw my eyes shine."

Xiao Yifei slapped his head, "Next time you record this." ”

"Record it, what's it for?"

"I asked the lawyer to sue her."

"Hahaha."

"Look, it's a winery, but unfortunately there are too many trees, and I only see a little bit. The row with trees growing is the river, and this side of the river and above the road, all of which I bought. ”

"Wow, it's incredible, why are you so rich, the news says the transaction price is hundreds of millions."

"Well, almost, plus the vineyard and the two houses I bought, it's a total of 120 million."

"You're so rich."

"Let's go, let's go and rest first, and I'll take you on a tour later."

The two men returned to the car.

"Xiao, why are you still driving such a broken car?"

Xiao Yifei kicked the tire, the car did not move, and there was no abnormal noise.

"Is it broken? I think it's good. ”

Xiao Yifei drove a Dodge pickup truck that belonged to the winery 3 years ago, and Xiao Yifei drove it quite easily.

Well, the car was not washed, and it was indeed covered with dust and mud.

"It's just looking good when you wash it, and it's definitely better than your Japanese car."

"Cut, I bought this in high school, and you're a billionaire compared to the car I bought in high school."

Xiao Yifei thought for a moment, "Maybe it's time for me to buy a car." ”

Xiao Yifei led the way and took Shirley to the resort.

"So what you said is true. You don't really have a place to stay. ”

The resort is also a good place to stay, and my villa has not yet started to be designed.

"It's a bit complicated......"

"Haha, no wonder you don't want Alice to come over, it's too coke, no, I'm going to show her. Look at you now, wearing dusty clothes, a dilapidated car, and no place to live, this looks like a billionaire, hahaha. ”

After speaking, she took out her mobile phone and wanted to take a photo and send it to Wang Nan, Xiao Yifei will definitely quit, doesn't this damage the glorious image of her buddy. hurriedly went to grab her phone. Shirley must be hiding, and the two of them rushed to grab each other. These two people hooked up when they were traveling in France, and they hugged each other at this time, so it must be **.

By the time Xiao Yifei got up again, it was already dinner time.

"Shirley, get up and eat."

"No, let me sleep a little longer."

"Okay."

In the end, Shirley's dinner was still sent to the room by Xiao Yifei.

The next day, the two of them left the room with a radiant face.

Shirley followed Xiao Yi to the winery for a walk. Came to Eggplant Hill again, Concubine Yue was looking for people very fast, and they rushed over today.

"Xiao, this is Wang Feng, English name Bruce. King. That's what I'm talking about as the CEO of a design company. ”

"Hello Mr. Xiao."

After the two shook hands, Xiao Yifei described his meaning again, Wang Feng checked the surrounding environment, the first thing that can be determined is to cut down trees, and also to knock down the original houses of the two families, this project is not small, because these trees alone are hundreds, and these trees are decades old.

"Mr. Xiao, I don't know what your relationship with the local government is, such a large-scale action must be approved by them."

"It's not a big deal, it should be approved."

"Okay, then we can sign the contract."

After paying a deposit of $100,000, Wang Feng and his men began to survey the surrounding terrain.

Xiao Yifei took Shirley to the vineyard.

"It's so big, it's much bigger than our orchard."

"By the way, what do you grow?"

"It's mainly almonds, but my dad wants to grow blueberries, and he's already rented the land and plans to plant it next year."

"Blueberries, I know, are quite expensive."

"No matter how expensive it is, is your wine expensive?"

Eh, Xiao Yifei didn't know what to say. That's when David came out of the row.

"Hi, Shaw, is this your girlfriend?"

"Shirley, this is David, he's in charge of all these vineyards. David: It's Shirley. ”

"We're friends, not girlfriends."

David raised an eyebrow at Xiao Yifei.

"David, how's the grapes?"

"Shaw, I'd love to tell you they're great, but no, it's cool all over California this year, and everybody's going to have a bit of a bad grape."

The cool weather definitely had an impact on the growth of the wine grapes. The ripening of the grapes requires a certain amount of accumulated temperature, and the low temperature will inevitably delay the harvest period, so that the labor cost will be higher.
