Chapter 58 Carding the Industry
Shi Lei, who got the letter, felt that a stone in his heart had fallen to the ground, and happily rushed back to Santa Barbara with everyone. However, Shi Lei did not directly bring everyone back to Lincoln's house and then part ways, but brought everyone back to the ranch.
Shi Lei plans to go back to the ranch to cook a big meal and ask everyone to share, mainly because he also wants to thank Lincoln for providing such a cool shooting range to play and for providing him with a very good car.
And Lincoln and they have all tasted Shi Lei's cooking, and they will never forget the dishes that Shi Lei has prepared.
Fortunately, Shi Lei has always prepared the ingredients here, and the last time I went to downtown Los Angeles, I didn't forget to go to Huaguo Supermarket to replenish some things, and when I passed by the farmer's market in downtown Santa Barbara, I also purchased a lot of fresh vegetables and fruits as always. As for meat, there is never a shortage of it.
Let them sit and wait for a while, Laura took out a lot of cookies and other small snacks in the style of a hostess, all of which were made by Shi Lei with his own cheese, and also made some small slices of various homemade cheeses, so that Lincoln and them could cushion their stomachs first.
Lulu's eyes were about to turn heart-shaped when she saw them. It can't be helped, her plump body is enough to show how much she loves to eat these sweet things.
Others were also amazed by Shi Lei's craftsmanship. Although they all know that Shi Lei's cooking skills are good, they didn't expect that the pastries he made could be so beautiful and delicious.
While Laura accompanied them to drink tea, eat snacks, and chat, Shi Lei was busy in the kitchen alone for a long time.
It didn't take long for Shi Lei to clean up a table of meals that were extraordinarily sumptuous in Lincoln's eyes.
In addition to a few good dishes that Shi Lei has made several times before and that Lincoln asked them to have, such as sweet and sour tenderloin, there are also several dishes that Shi Lei has newly researched that combine Chinese and Western dishes, such as cheese potatoes and cheese pepper baked rice. Finally, there was a cheese salad and a dessert cheese pudding.
It's not that Shi Lei can't get along with cheese recently, there is really no way, the cows in the ranch are too capable of producing milk, and Shi Lei's cheese here is about to overflow, and he is thinking about whether to sell a batch. There are already online stores that are applying for Amazon.
Hearing these guys praising the cheese produced in the ranch is very good, Shi Lei generously said that everyone can move a few large pieces of cheese of various flavors back, which can be made hard and full.
Lulu was the first to respond, and as the son of a three-star Michelin chef, Alexander also said that he had to have some flavors of all kinds, and he would give his father a taste when he went back, maybe he could open up some sales, especially high-end restaurants that require high-quality things, and Shi Lei's cooking may meet their requirements.
In fact, this also reflects the importance of connections in Midi, the same cheese, others may still be working hard to enter the trial list of purchasing managers of a high-end restaurant, Shi Lei's is not good has been delivered to the guest tables of several restaurants.
After sending these guys away, Shi Lei returned to the ranch, and Laura had already cleaned up the mess they left behind, although she was not used to it, she still followed Shi Lei's method and poured the leftovers into the dogs' food bowls.
Of course, Laura's pet mink Michelle still eats pet food specially developed for pet mink.
The two sat on the sofa in the living room with each other in their arms and began to discuss the route to the next stage of domestic travel.
However, while discussing these topics, Shi Lei thought of another question, he has invested in many projects on Midi's side now, and it seems that he should find a special person to be responsible for managing the industries he has invested in.
Needless to say, there is Hanks on the ranch, and he himself is here to keep abreast of the situation.
For all of his other investments, he needs someone to walk around for him and keep abreast of developments. I don't want to know, but if you think about it, I've actually invested in a lot of projects.
First of all, when he bought the ranch, he invested 2 million in McRae, and this investment is almost certain to be profitable.
Moreover, Xu Xiaoxiao also told Shi Lei before, and the new grape cultivation technology jointly researched by him and McKee is about to enter the experimental stage, according to McRae, the development prospect is very great.
Xu Xiaoxiao plans to invite Shi Lei to start a wine company with McKeere, and McRae's winery happens to be the company's high-end product.
Because Xu Xiaoxiao's winery has many grape vines, and the improvement effect is certainly not as good as the vineyard that McRae has carefully cultivated for many years, the new wines produced by Xu Xiaoxiao's winery will be used as the company's mid-to-high-end products for a wider range of consumers.
Of course, just like Shi Lei thought at the beginning, if this wine company wants to get started, it must have Shi Lei's investment.
The upfront investment may be around 5 million US dollars, and maybe some additional investment will be made in the future, after all, McRae's net worth was almost dragged down by this small winery. And Shi Lei's future share is still up for debate.
Then there is the creative smart home factory in Los Angeles that Lincoln and several others invested in, according to Robinson, the development is now on the right track, and it can turn a profit next year.
But until now, Shi Lei hasn't seen it, as the largest investor, Shi Lei has made it a little too inappropriate. It is necessary to let the private investment steward of the future help to keep an eye on the latest situation at all times.
After that, it was the mountain reservoir contracted by Shi Lei's brother-in-law who invested in China, and I don't know how the development was there. This time, I went back to China with Laura, just to see how it went.
You can also let the investment steward show up over there from time to time, after all, there is still a Sino-foreign joint venture brand, and the impression should also be deepened in this regard.
In addition, under Shi Lei's matchmaking, the cooperation negotiation between a sea smart home and Lulu's real estate company has come to an end, and Shichuan's manager has made a special call to express his gratitude to Shi Lei, and made it clear that he will share Shi Lei's profit after the matter is completed, which can be regarded as a rebate for this fiber pull.
This is Shi Lei's most likely entry in the near future, who is still in Shi Lei's investment stage, and basically has not seen any output.
Finally, there is one more thing that Jack Lee has complained about countless times, Shi Lei must find a private accountant, and he must be professional enough.
Although Jack Lee has done so many twists and turns for Shi Lei in the early stage to reasonably avoid taxes, he is only a lawyer and not a full-time accountant after all, and he does not get an extra salary.
Since you plan to find an employee for yourself this time, you might as well solve the problem of these two personnel at the same time. Thinking so, Shi Lei recorded his requirements casually and sent them back to professional headhunting companies, asking them to recommend some suitable candidates.
Laura worked hard for a long time and finally pulled Shi Lei back from his state of trance. The two began to plan their domestic travel itinerary again.
Before the summer vacation began, they had about two weeks to travel around the country, and after two weeks they would go back to Shi Lei's house and come back with their families.
There is no way, when the summer vacation begins, the bears and children from all walks of life and the huge group of parents who go out to take care of them will turn all the tourist attractions into a sea of people, no matter where they go, they will only be left to see the people, and the beautiful scenery will definitely not be seen.
In this case, the travel route of the two's domestic trip must be carefully planned, not only to enjoy the beautiful scenery, but also to avoid the crowd that may travel in advance, and enjoy the real pleasure of the trip.
However, it will take some time for Laura to get her tourist visa. Of course, although Shi Lei has a green card, his nationality is still Chinese, so he does not need a visa to return to China.
It's just that when his nationality becomes Saint Kitts and Nevis after a while, he may have to apply for a passport if he wants to return to China, because although Saint Kitts and Nevis allows dual citizenship, it is not allowed in China, so maybe you have to apply for a visa when you want to return to China.
During the period of waiting for the visa, Shi Lei and Laura carefully considered their travel arrangements, including food, clothing, housing and transportation, and when possible, they searched for relatively cost-effective tickets and guesthouses and hotels through online group purchases, reservations, etc.
In addition, headhunters have also begun to send several materials that they think are suitable talents, but Shi Lei has not had time to screen them and interview them yet.
Moreover, Shi Lei's industries did not make him feel that he urgently needed to find such a person to manage, so he planned to carefully consider the issue of these two candidates after returning from China.
For Shi Lei, the issue of these two candidates is very important, and it must be someone who can be completely assured by himself, so he has to look for it carefully, and he can't decide on the candidate in a hurry, after all, these are all related to his net worth.
Shi Lei got unexpected good news from Alexander, but he didn't expect that when he casually mentioned it to Alexander, it was really like the best situation he imagined, and business came to the door.
Alexander's father, the hot-tempered three-Michelin-starred chef Mr. Vantaa, was amazed by the deliciousness of the Zuò cheeses made by Shi Lei.
Vantaa was not only the first to start using cheese from Stone Farm in his restaurant, but he also provided samples to many of his acquaintances, who are said to be so satisfied with the flavor of the cheese that they are now interested in purchasing Zuò cheese from Shilei on a long-term basis.
In the face of this unexpected joy, Shi Lei was happy and thought that he would also return the favor, so he and Alexander discussed it, and the two of them organized a small cheese sales company together, Shi Lei was responsible for providing high-quality cheese from Stone Ranch, and Alexander was responsible for using his father's influence in the food industry to open up the market for cheese.
Later, Shi Lei thought about it, it would be too time-consuming to make all his own cheese, and he would tie himself to it, so after discussing with Alexander, it was decided that Shi Lei would provide high-quality milk from Stone Ranch, and the company would hire a professional cheesemaker, and Shi Lei only needed to provide some know-how to retain the flavor.
And this time, in order to meet their needs in Vantaa, Shi Lei asked Alexander to move all the cheese accumulated on the ranch.
Of course, the company also needs to retain the trademark of Stone Ranch, and Shi Lei hopes that this opportunity will give the high-end restaurant industry a preliminary impression of Stone Ranch first, and then gradually improve it.
Shi Lei wants to let the brand of Stone Ranch penetrate into all corners of high-end ingredients, form a good reputation and brand image, and let them know that Stone Ranch produces top-quality ingredients.
