After eating something simple, Chen Mo got up to say goodbye and went to the restaurant to order a sumptuous seafood dinner to be delivered to his home half an hour later.
Chen Xiao drove here and also drove back.
Zhang Xia walked back with Chen Mo...
"Brother, I want to quit my job after a while and go to the ranch." Zhang Xia said.
"Don't..." Chen Mo said with a smile: "Hurry up and resign. You can go to the ranch, my parents are both here..."
Zhang Xia smiled and nodded: "Then Chen Xiao..."
Zhang Xia was worried that Chen Xiao was alone in San Francisco.
Chen Mo is the same. The one who is most worried is Chen Xiao. If there is no one around a girl...
"It's not Zhou Ziyu..." Chen Mo looked at the woman pushing a stroller by: "Huafeng Group will move to Napa in a few months, and Chen Xiao will go there as an employee of the headquarters. Besides, she is not a little girl.
Now... Chen Xiao is a few months older than you, so don’t worry about her. But you and Chen Chen, do you have any plans for the future? Career, family, do you want to stay in the United States or return to China..."
"Chen Chen doesn't want to pursue any career. We are very satisfied with our current life. Whether we return to China or stay in the United States depends on Chen Chen's wishes."
"Yeah, that's okay... If you and Chen Chen have any plans for the future, such as starting a business... In fact, it's okay not to start a business and live a leisurely life. If you have any ideas, I will try my best to help."
"Thank you, brother."
"What does a family say about thanking you?"
Zhang Xia smiled: "Brother, if Chen Chen wants to stay in the United States, I want to bring his parents over."
"This is what you should do. If you tell Chen Chen, he will definitely agree."
After sitting for a while, Chen Chen came back with Father Chen and Mother Chen.
"Honey, I'm really pregnant." Chen Chen had a silly smile on his face and held Zhang Xia's hand.
"How can this be false..." Chen Xiao rolled his eyes: "Sister-in-law Zhang Xia and I went to the hospital in the afternoon. She is pregnant. She should be more than a month old, almost two months old."
"Haha... I'm going to be a father soon." Chen Chen said with a silly smile.
Mother Chen looked at Chen Mo: "Your brother is about to become a father. Do you have any thoughts?"
Chen Mo's eyes widened: "I don't even dare to think about how I feel." Chen Mo clasped his hands in his fists: "Goodbye, I have a lot of things to do here, so I'll leave now and we'll meet up another day."
"What are you doing?" Chen Mo said as if he was about to run away, but Chen Mo's father stopped him directly: "I saw your girlfriend on TV before, why is she a model?" Chen Mo's father was very dissatisfied with this.
Chen's father does not object to Chen Mo's freedom of love. He does not say that he should find a white man or a black man... This... needs to be discussed...
Seeing his future daughter-in-law wearing almost transparent clothes on TV is unacceptable to a traditional Chinese father...
Chen Mo shrugged: "She is a legitimate model and has a legitimate profession. You can't look at people with sunglasses..."
"I didn't say anything, just... do whatever you want, as long as you like it. Anyway, we can't interfere in your affairs." Father Chen smiled bitterly. He owed Chen Mo a lot. As long as Chen Mo liked it, he would be happy...
The father will definitely support it.
After breaking up with Hathaway, Chen Mo didn't want to mention it, so as not to spoil the fun. Later, his mother brought up the issue of his life-long event.
Chen Mo smiled, pulled his father to sit on the sofa, and patted Chen Xiao on the head: "How are you getting along with Zhou Ziyu? I haven't seen him for a long time."
Chen Xiao lowered his head and smiled: "Zhou Ziyu has officially become Master Jing's master. He has passed the chef assessment of the food research and development department and is currently cooking at Twin Peaks Restaurant."
The head chef is the official chef, followed by the chef, chef, and executive chef... In Huafeng Group, the executive chef manages the kitchens of more than one restaurant. Currently, there are only three executive chefs.
The seafood dinner ordered by Chen Mo was delivered. Chen Mo opened a bottle of white wine and the men in the family had a good meal.
After staying in Beiwan District for two days, Bai Xiaoou called and everything was settled...
Chen Mo played chess with his father at home: "Dad, I have some business to go to Napa."
"Okay..." Father Chen stared at the chess game and played several games. Chen Mo also refused to give in. Father Chen kept losing: "Chen Chen, come here and play chess with me."
"I don't like playing chess...hehe, okay."
Chen Mo patted Chen Chen heavily on the shoulder: "Dad, I went over... I probably won't be back tonight. I bought a manor in Napa. If you and mom are bored at the ranch, you can come and live in the manor."
"Then... let's go over after lunch." Father Chen said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll go there first."
After getting on the BMW x8 and waving his hand, Chen Mo went straight to Wells Fargo Bank in Napa County to sign the contract here.
When buying a house or land in the western United States, a "third party" usually holds the funds first, signs a transfer of property rights, and then gets the money after completing the transaction.
The ‘third party’ can be a title company or a bank.
It is easiest to leave it to the title company, and the transaction can be completed even if the buyer and seller are not present at the same time. Let the bank act as a third party, and you can spend less money if both parties are present.
Coles Winery was finally sold for US$27.2 million, and the other party paid all the costs incurred during the transaction... This is very impressive.
Sign the transfer of property rights, and then go to the Napa County Government to register the property rights...
That afternoon, US$27.2 million arrived in Chen Mo's account.
Bai Xiaoou chuckled and rubbed his hands with a wretched look on his face: "Well... the transaction is completed, 27.2 million, not bad, right?"
"Okay, let me repay part of the loan first." Chen Mo went to the bank VIP room and took out the loan contract first...
There was still money to be used later, so Chen Mo repaid the loan of 20 million, and the interest of 20 million accrued in the past few months. Chen Mo looked at the bank balance... 7.3185 million US dollars.
In the original negotiation with Bai Xiaoou, Chen Mo had to pay him a commission of 850,000.
If a large intermediary company finalizes the transaction for US$27.2 million, Chen Mo will have to pay more commission. For Coles Winery, with a net transaction price of US$27.2 million, Chen Mo made a lot of money.
After filling out a check for US$850,000, Chen Mo had US$6.4685 million left in his account.
After leaving the office, Chen Mo handed the check to Bai Xiaoou: "Come to my place for a drink."
"No, I have to go to Garrison Investment Company for a meeting, tomorrow. I'll go to the Red Wine Manor Community tomorrow."
"Okay, then I'll leave first."
"Well, bye."
Chen Mo left the bank with a smile...
After all, Coles Winery did not sell for a sky-high price. It was far from Chen Mo’s perfect fantasy of US$45 million...
$45 million...
Chen Mo also dared to think that there were only a few wealthy people who were really willful. For example, there were occasionally sky-high transaction cases in Napa Valley, but they were too few.
I went to the supermarket to buy some vegetables and meat. I was about to go back to the manor when my cell phone rang in my pocket: "Dad."
"We are almost at Napa County. Where is your manor?"
"I'm still in Napa County. I'll send you an address and I'll wait for you here..." Chen Mo sent the location and went to the supermarket to browse...
