Xiao Yifei decided to move and no longer live in Bee Hill. It's like a book

After Beau left the winery, his villa was empty, and Xiao Yifei didn't dare to live here alone, but after this time, he felt that he should be able to adapt to the relatively remote Bee Hill and the empty 40 Beverly Park. So he spent the night here with a black nose, and except for the fact that he began to feel a little worried, there seemed to be nothing unusual when he fell asleep.

Bo's villa was built later than the Beehill Villa, because there were many children in the family at that time, so it was repaired more than the Beehill Villa, in addition to the master bedroom, the second bedroom, and the children's bedroom, in addition to the study, recreation room, gym are all available. There is also a swimming pool at the back of the house. There's also a helipad for the helicopter, which Bo had prepared for their R44, which had been parked here before it was sold. Xiao Yifei plans to buy a helicopter after learning to drive in the future, but Beverly Park is a no-fly zone, and the helicopter cannot take off and land, so it is estimated that it can only park at Van Nius Airport. It's just that there is a distance of 600 kilometers between them, and I don't know what kind of helicopter has this range.

Xiao Yifei thinks that this villa is not bad, and the decoration is better than that of the beehill, the only regret is that it is deep inside the vineyard, and it is very inconvenient to go in and out through the vineyard, even if it is to be sold, I don't know who to sell it to. In case it is sold to a person of bad character, it is too easy to make some damage to the vineyard. Therefore, Xiao Yifei was forced to move here.

It's really a plan that can't keep up with the rapid pace of change. Xiao Yifei originally reserved the best house for himself in the resort, but with the purchase of the house in Beverly Park, with the development of other industries in the future, Xiao Yifei found that he would definitely live in the luxurious No. 40 French palace in the future, and Napa has become a transitional house here, that is, he has more time to stay now, and after the plans are launched in the future, there will be less time to stay in Napa, and there is no need to go to build another one. It seems that the house that the resort has prepared for itself is going to become the first class room of the resort.

Other than that. Another reason why Xiao Yifei moved here is to see that on the hillside next to the villa, Bo has also built two small vineyards, each of which is only a few hundred square meters in size. It's about the same size as the vineyard that Xiao Yifei made in the space. However, instead of growing wine grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, the two vineyards planted table grapes for family consumption. Xiao Yifei took a fancy to these two small vineyards and planned to use them for experiments.

Blacknose has a new environment, and feels a little unaccustomed, and keeps sniffing around, especially his own new home. That is, the kennels that Beau used to build for his two dogs, Beau is really good to his two retrievers, even the kennel is fixed, not a kennel made of wooden planks and wooden frames like Beehill.

"What's wrong, don't like your home?"

The black nose sniffed Xiao Yifei's hand, stuck out his tongue and began to lick. Xiao Yifei wondered if it was the breath of Bo's two recovery dogs inside, it thought this was someone else's home, right?

"Why don't I give you a thorough cleaning?"

It's still licking, but it's more cheerful.

So Xiao Yifei put on rain boots, pulled the pipe, and thoroughly cleaned the two kennels. The black nose sniffed everywhere again. wagged his tail very happily and ran over to please Xiao Yifei.

Xiao Yifei followed David to check on the winter cutting work of Ah Pei and his temporary workers. He wanted to learn the essentials of grape winter shearing and prepare for the winter pruning of the vineyard in his space.

These temporaries are very skillful, and the scissors in their hands fly up and down around the arms of the vine, and only a dense clicking sound can be heard, and the pruning of a vine can be done in less than a minute. At this time, although the branches have lost their connection with the main trunk, the straps fixed during the summer twig work also connect these old branches to the top two or three wires of the hedge, so the workers have to pull these bare old branches hard, so that the straps that help them break off, and tear the branches away from the hedge. Then pile them up in bundles.

These old shoots are then crushed by the machine, turned into compost and sent back to the vineyard.

Xiao Yifei slowly learned to prune under the guidance of David. Ngapoi lobbied Davy to take over more work on the vineyard so that he could bring more of his fellow villagers over to earn money.

As soon as Xiao Yifei heard it, he knew that the fellow countryman he said must be a black Mexican worker. He asked curiously:

"Aren't those black workers afraid of being caught?"

"Catch? As long as you don't commit a crime, the police can't check your documents when you're walking on the street, unless you're specifically arrested by the immigration department. Otherwise, it's safe. ”

In the United States, there is a law here that the police cannot arbitrarily check people's documents. Like Xiao Yifei did when he was parading on Halloween, many people don't have a place to carry documents on them at all, and there are so many people, there must be a lot of thieves, and it is troublesome to be stolen by thieves with passports. Therefore, Xiao Yifei asked Li Qinglin and them to put their documents in the hotel in advance. If it weren't for Xiao Yifei and them fighting, they wouldn't have been taken back to the police station at all.

"What happens if I'm caught by USCIS?"

"After a few days, I will be sent back if I have enough for a carload of people."

Mexican black workers are also unlucky, too close, direct cars can pull them to the pass, if we Chinese, you repatriate, anyway, I don't have money. The immigration bureau is on wax, because repatriation will have to pay for air tickets, doesn't this make people earn money from illegal jobs in the United States and send people home for free? Besides, there are still tens of millions of Chinese black workers out there, and the U.S. government can pay for them all to send back?

"Nothing will happen when you go back?"

"It's okay, just find a chance to come over next time. It's just that it's cheaper, and it can make a lot of money. ”

This thing is sent back and again, this is perseverance.

"We're pretty good, we Mexicans can basically find the snakeheads, and we can cross the border on foot, and the people in those countries in Central America are miserable, they can't find reliable snakeheads, and they can either be deceived or have to jump the train themselves."

"Jumping on a train? Did you jump off the train? ”

"No, it's jumping on the train. The U.S. has several trains a day that bring things back from Mexico. These people wait by the railroad, and when the train passes, they jump on the train, and then they cross the border on the train and jump off again when they get to the United States. ”

I'll go, it's the American version of the railroad guerrillas, or the modern version of the western cowboy robbing the train. But how slow the train was back then, how fast the train is now.

"It's too dangerous, isn't it?"

"It's really dangerous, and every year a lot of people either crash into the train or don't catch the person who falls off the train and gets run over by the train or breaks their legs."

"Can those black workers really make money in the United States?"

"Of course, I was smuggled here in the first place. How can I earn more than $10,000 a year here, which is much higher than those in China. It's good that they can earn $5 a day, and here they can earn $50 a day. ”

The wages of these temporary vineyard workers are not fixed, and if the grapes are not picked within a day or two, the best harvest period will be missed, resulting in a decline in the quality of the grapes. September and October are also the ripening season for many vegetables and fruits in other places, and they also need a large number of agricultural workers there, so the harvest workers are in short supply, and the labor intensity is high, so the wages of temporary workers during the picking season are as high as more than 100 US dollars a day.

In other seasons, the time requirements are not so urgent, such as winter pruning, anyway, the grapes have a long dormancy period in winter, and there is not much difference between winter pruning ten days earlier and winter pruning half a month later. Another example is tying branches, which will be tied later anyway, and the big deal is that the grape branches are waving around, and they don't look good, as long as you tie them up at the end. As a result, the wages of these workers naturally fell. It became $50 to $60 a day. However, the salary of a skilled hand is still higher, generally more than $60.

When Xiao Yifei heard this, he felt that something was wrong: I really want to pay my salary at least $60 a day, you are picking the skin from it.

Ah Pei thought about it and realized that he had leaked his mouth, and hurriedly remedied.

"I also have to pay for their lodging and transportation."

David unceremoniously and directly exposed him:

"Don't bully Xiao for not knowing the situation, go and supervise your workers to work, don't stay careful, I'll deduct your wages."

Ngapoi shouted and walked away.

"You just said how did he get me?"

"Well, the county has a collective housing area for these grape workers, which is very cheap, only $50 a month, and there are restaurants and schools all around, and they are all very cheap."

I went, it was really too cheap, $50 for 1 month. But also, what is the pillar industry of Napa County, is wine, and the vineyard is the foundation of everything, without these junior laborers, let alone let's wash and sleep.

The renovation and expansion work of the winery is progressing steadily and methodically, and these projects are divided into several large parts, which are responsible for the implementation of special personnel, Xiao Yifei just goes to check the progress from time to time and advises him to pay attention to safety. In these places, because the professional requirements are relatively high, and they are all heavy work, Xiao Yifei did not go to join in the fun, and purely became a typical Party A.

The only thing that hasn't progressed is the resort project. If you don't say that the dish is cooked, it means that it is delayed, although the councillors who said at the town council reception have no opinion, but there must be procedures in place, Xiao Yifei can only watch the project move forward in the pile of documents.

Xiao Yifei made a phone call and asked KPMG to send a team to the winery to check the accounts. First, Xiao Yifei officially took over and learned about the family, and secondly, it is about to end the year, and it is time to issue a year-end bonus, and the winery's profit this year must be clarified to decide how much bonus to pay. This was a long time ago, and KPMG promised to send someone over immediately. (To be continued.) It's like a book, the house of books! Unique URL:
