This guy sold 1 million shares and not only received more than 3 million in cash, but he ran out of money so quickly?
Bai Xiaoou looked excited, holding one hand and holding a phone in the other hand to communicate with the dealer in Los Angeles...
Returning to the ranch, it was past one o'clock in the afternoon, and Bright was having dinner at Chen Mo's house.
Third uncle was a good cook. When he saw Chen Mo and the others, he came out and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"
"Already eaten." On the way back, the two of them ate hamburgers and Cokes and left the car outside. Chen Mo took out his phone and called Bright...
"Hey, what do you want from me?" Brett came out with his rice bowl.
"Let's go to Los Angeles to buy a car and find someone who knows the roads and has good driving skills."
"Okay." Brett called and came over with a meal in twos and twos: "Are you buying a sports car?"
"Well, this guy ordered a V8 Porsche and went to pick up the car. Come back tomorrow..."
"I'll go too." Brett chuckled and said, "I'm hesitating to buy a sports car. Do you have any recommendations?"
"McLaren Senna, P1, both are good."
"No, Senna is easy and natural, hahaha... McLaren P1, can you still buy a new car?"
Bai Xiaoou shrugged: "Yes, it seems possible, it's a new car in the hands of a collector."
P1 and 918, there are really no new cars, after all, they were discontinued several years ago.
For these two cars, the existing ways to buy cars are: face-to-face transactions with car owners, and second, buying from supercar dealers. Most of the cars at dealers are no longer first-hand, but are consigned by car owners or consigned by collectors to dealers.
stock.
Collectors and dealers stock cars that have traveled hundreds or even thousands of miles, but have no registered owner. They are considered first-hand and new cars.
"P1 is too expensive." Brett shook his head.
Brett likes sports cars, and he is different from Chen Mo and Bai Xiaoou. Brett is someone who can play sports cars and race cars. At least he can drift and drive an F1 racing car... He is also an amateur. There are many racing venues for F1 racing that can be rented.
Play.
There is a large race track right over in Monterey.
After waiting for a while, a middle-aged man in his forties drove over in a pickup truck.
Brett briefly spoke to him, and Chen Mo handed him the keys to the Ford e350.
In addition to being Chen Mo's personal car, the Ford e350 was also used as a vehicle for Bright, Chen Chen, and Kang Si to travel. He had been driving the car before.
Sitting on the boss's chair at the back, Chen Mo put down the chair, lay down, took out his phone and started scrolling on Douyin: "Why did you suddenly think of buying a 918? I never mentioned it before. This is not your style."
"It's pointless to say it. I booked this car twenty days in advance."
About twenty days in advance, that is, after Garrison Investment Company acquired their shares, Bai Xiaoou just got more than three million in hand.
Brett held his cell phone and looked at the pictures of several of his favorite cars: "Boss, what do you think about me buying a Bentley Continental GT3-R? Does the convertible version go well with our ranch?"
"Very handsome, not bad." Chen Mo said, yawned, stood up, opened the small freezer, and took out a bottle of champagne.
Along the way, we chatted about car-related topics, and also about ranches and restaurants.
Brett squinted his eyes and glanced at Bai Xiaoou's profile from time to time: "Boss, you just left yesterday, and a respected figure came to the ranch."
"who?"
"The chef of the French dry cleaners, Mr. Thomas Kohler."
Bai Xiaoou turned around and looked over: "He took the initiative to contact you?"
"Well, he came here in person..."
Those who work in restaurants are familiar with high-end restaurants in California, especially in the San Francisco Bay Area.
The French dry cleaners are not a place to wash clothes, but a Michelin three-star restaurant.
Speaking of Michelin three stars, we have to mention this French restaurant, which has become synonymous with Michelin. This god-like old three-star Michelin restaurant has the reputation of being the best French restaurant in the world not in France, but in the Napa Valley of San Francisco.
'Such a domineering reputation.
The French Dry Cleaner, also known as the French Laundry, is one of the top restaurants in Napa Valley. The per capita consumption is 400+ dollars. You have to order at least a week or even weeks in advance. It is even more expensive than the Dougson's restaurant.
"Is he interested in Bright Beef Tomahawk Steak?" Chen Mo said.
"Yes. In addition to tomahawk steak, veal steak, sirloin, fillet and other parts, as long as they reach the b3 level, they are interested. Especially the tomahawk steak, but their quotation... is 280 US dollars per pound. Ellison
The logistics quote is $300 per pound.”
Bai Xiaoou looked at Chen Mo and said: "You should expand your sales channels now. You can sell it at US$280 per pound. Don't hang yourself on the tree of Ellison Logistics."
"You..." Chen Mo laughed: "Aren't you a collaborator with the enemy and the country?"
"Get the hell out of here." Bai Xiaoou let out a long breath: "Garrison Investment Company's ambitions are too great. At the beginning, I lured the wolf into the house and made a misjudgment in my decision-making. In fact, I shouldn't have introduced Garrison Investment Company...
...We are buddies, brothers, but you have to pay for my decision-making..."
Years ago, I was in a hurry to raise money and was eager for quick success. I didn't investigate the background of Garrison Investment Company clearly. I just thought it was a full-time real estate investment company. It was only after the financing was signed that I found out that they also owned Babner Company... and then...
Being led by the nose step by step.
"Stop talking. It's just a controlling stake in a company. If you don't have it, it's gone."
The two of them said it easily, but it was the company they founded together.
When he knew that Bai Xiaoou was going to give up the controlling stake, Chen Mo felt very uncomfortable. Not only himself, Bai Xiaoou felt even more uncomfortable...
Bai Xiaoou is an extremely proud person, and giving up the controlling stake is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface.
I remember that before the financing, Bai Xiaoou asked Chen Mo to hold the company. But how long did it take... to give up the holding company just for a Napa Valley project?
"Okay, let's not talk anymore." Bai Xiaoou clenched his fists, but there was light in his eyes. Anyone who knew him well knew that he was preparing to fight. And the person he was fighting with was definitely not Chen Mo...that person he was facing.
, it can only be a behemoth.
Among the three people in the car, Chen Mo was the least knowledgeable about business. Bright was also a very smart person. That day when Bai Xiaoou came over and talked about giving up the holding company, Bright immediately realized that there was a problem and directly sold the 1.55 million shares on hand.
.Otherwise, it would definitely be better to look at the financial report released by Tangxia Yipin at the end of the year and gain long-term benefits by holding the stock...
"I didn't blame you for that matter. I didn't invest much money. I sold some of the stocks and the money I invested was almost all returned..." Seeing Bai Xiaoou's eyes, Chen Mo's eyebrows trembled slightly.
.
"Well... you have invested too much in this ranch. You really can't hang yourself on a tree, at least not now... The output of the ranch is still small, and the meat is high-priced, especially the Bright cattle. You should develop your own
Channels. It is cheaper to sell now. As long as the market has a good reputation, the price can be raised in the future..."
"I know. Even if I am stupid, Brett is not stupid, right?" Chen Mo has already smelled some signs.
Brett nodded: "Of course. I am already setting up my own sales department and expanding sales channels."
"That's good..."
Something is wrong with Bai Xiaoou.
Bai Xiaoou has been gloomy since the company was controlled, but today he suddenly became excited...
"Old Bai, don't do anything stupid."
"What are you doing stupidly?" Bai Xiaoou spread his hands and said with a smile.
"Eggs and stones can't come into contact head-on."
"Don't worry, how could I do something stupid? Even if I don't care about myself, I still have to be responsible for you..."
