"Bright... Phew, you're finally here. Are you willing to see me, Mr. Chen Mo?"
Brett smiled bitterly: "Boss, he has a lot of things to do, and he doesn't want to meet strangers. Then, your reward."
"one million!"
"I went to the brewery with my boss last night. He didn't say anything, but he was quite satisfied with the brewery... He has a hard mouth and a soft heart. This 1 million is your labor fee."
If paid according to the contract, the labor fee that Peter could receive should be US$1.3 million. But in fact, even for projects in the United States, the employer will be picky and picky to keep the final cost down.
The brewery cost 6.5 million US dollars, including building materials, construction workers, brewing equipment, etc., except that the cost of Pete, the designer, and his company's expenses were not included. This 1 million is his money...
A third-party company was also invited to participate in the construction of the brewery. Counting this 1 million and the fees paid to the third-party company, the cost of the entire brewery was close to 8 million U.S. dollars.
Pete breathed a sigh of relief.
Pete's company is an independent construction company and is only responsible for design and project supervision. Other companies hired during the construction process have already paid for this part of the project... This project has been working for almost three months, and Pete's company has earned only a penny.
No.
"Thank you."
Brett smiled bitterly: "If there is no problem, just sign the delivery contract. I was severely punished by my boss just now."
"OK." Pete signed the contract and returned it to Brett: "You're not short of money either. I think the Chinese boss has a bad temper, so why do you want to stay and continue working?"
"I like my current job. Mo has a very good temper. If other bosses encountered similar things, they would probably..." Bright pursed his lips and laughed.
"Too."
If a project exceeds the budget by more than double, anyone would be furious.
…
'Bang bang...'
There was a knock on Chen Mo's office door: "Come in."
"Hello, are you Mr. Chen Mo?" A middle-aged man in formal clothes opened the door and came in.
"Are you Mask?"
"Yes."
Max, the winemaker hired by Brett, is the director of the winery.
In the future, I will be responsible for the winery, mountain development of the ranch, etc.
Chen Mo looked at him, and he looked at Chen Mo...
"Come and sit." Chen Mo stood up and poured him a cup of coffee: "Have you visited the vineyards?"
"Looked over it."
“When do you think the best time to pick grapes is?”
"The end of this month, or the beginning of next month. We can't postpone it any longer..." Mask took out his resume and handed it to Chen Mo.
Chen Mo quickly looked up and found out that Max was the chief winemaker of Alode Winery. This is a winery with little reputation, but the wine it produces has won several gold and silver awards in regional wine competitions.
In this part of California, there are not too many different wine selections.
"Go find Brett and recruit winery workers as soon as possible. By the way, has Conse told you about wine making?"
Cons?
Max was confused.
Chen Mo touched his chin, Max probably hadn't met Cons yet.
Cons is the technical director of the ranch and the director of the River Valley Ranch Research Center. He is mainly responsible for the production technology of the ranch and the quality supervision of the entire ranch: "The wine produced must meet some technical indicators. This is mainly wine used to feed cattle and sheep...
...Of course, humans can also drink it. No sulfur dioxide/sulfites can be added to wine, and natural yeast must be used. The natural yeast will be delivered in a few days...Cons will tell you the specific technical indicators. He is our ranch
The technical director, you can meet him later."
"Okay." Chen Mo said as his phone rang. He took it out and looked at the call from Bai Xiaoou. He looked up at Max and said, "I have nothing to do here. You can first learn about our ranch. If you are busy,
Just go about your own business."
"OK."
Max went out of the office, and Chen Mo answered the phone: "Hey, what are you doing?"
"You put it in Reventon at the car dealership, and someone quoted you 4 million. Do you want to sell it?" Bai Xiaoou shouted.
"It's the end of the year, and there should be various large-scale auctions. Is there any information about Revington being auctioned?"
"without."
"No...then continue to price it at 5 million, and we won't sell it for a penny less."
"Okay. There is another Heifer beauty pageant. Are you here? Come and meet me."
The Heifer beauty pageant is quite awesome.
"Brother, I'm very busy right now. Let's talk about anything on the phone."
"At the Los Angeles Luxury Auto Show at the end of the month, the organizer invited us. I would like to send the modified lm002 there. What do you think?"
"OK."
"Well, lm002, someone has quoted us $890,000 for the black one. Do you want to sell it?"
The black one was bought by Chen Mo at an auction and sold for US$537,000. Calculated by shipping, insurance, etc., it cost Chen Mo almost US$600,000.
"Sell it. But you have to be responsible for getting me another lm002."
"No problem. I have contacted a dozen rare models here, including two lm002s. They are both scrapped cars. I will give you one after they are sent back and repaired."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Mo locked all the documents on the desk into a safe and drove his BMW x8 straight to San Francisco.
Bai Xiaoou was standing next to a Maverick under the company building. Chen Mo parked the car, sat in the passenger seat of the Maverick, and looked at the depressed Bai Xiaoou: "What's wrong with you?"
"I...it's not because of things at home. I thought I was suffering from depression. I saw a psychiatrist this morning. Guess what he said?"
"No one has depression these days. There's nothing to show off." Chen Mo cut a cigar for Bai Xiaoou and lit one himself. When he didn't say anything, he asked, "Are you really suffering from depression?"
"No. The doctor said I'm really miserable."
"Damn!" Chen Ou was speechless for a moment.
Bai Xiaoou pouted: "How much did you earn last month?"
"Last month's income was relatively small, and some of the money has not been transferred. It should be more than 7 million."
"Damn! So many... Is your ranch so profitable? Doesn't that mean that in a year, the ranch can earn hundreds of millions of dollars..."
"Just last month, the fresh milk from the farm was labeled as organic. I paid several million in publicity fees, so there was no profit last month."
"My salary last month was divided into the car dealer's share, and I also hired several consultants. The total income was 160,000. After deducting bank loan interest and personal expenses, there was not a penny left. I am the chairman of every group.
, tell me why it’s so miserable.”
Huafeng Group is a joint-stock company. Bai Xiaoou is the chairman and the president of the company, but he gets a dead salary in the company. The company will not pay dividends until the end of the year...or it will sell shares.
"You are so miserable, what's going on with this Lamborghini?" Chen Mo said, changing the topic: "It's almost the end of the year, is the company going to pay cash dividends?"
"Let's pay dividends in cash. I'm really short of money... At the year-end shareholders' meeting, you have to support me."
"Well, no problem." Chen Mo smiled.
Bai Xiaoou breathed a sigh of relief: "This is a second-hand car. It was crashed and was bought for more than 50,000 dollars. The car dealer is in urgent need of funds, so we contacted a dozen scrap cars of rare models...like the LM002 car
OK, the price of scrapped cars is very high, one costs close to 200,000 US dollars." LM002 has very little market in the United States, most of which are in Europe...
"What does Luo Chen mean?"
"He can still get a loan..." Bai Xiaoou smiled coquettishly: "Without high investment, there is no high output. In the future, we plan to snap up some rare and limited edition models... like Koenigsegg Argra RS1, which was originally released.
The price was only US$2.9 million, but it has risen to US$10 million in just a few years. Last month, a car was traded in New York, and the transaction price was US$11.02 million. We also try to snap up these orders, and we make money if we can buy them."
Chen Mo shrugged...
Not only Koenigsegg, but also the McLaren track version of the Senna GTR, which is priced at 1.65 million US dollars, is still available, and the price is usually more than 2 million. The 500-unit regular version has also been sold out long ago.
Most of them are ordered by dealers, and their value has appreciated a lot.
Second-hand car shops, unless they are very large-scale, will not have high profits. For example, the garage opened by Chen Mo and his three brothers, under normal circumstances, the profit in a month may not even be as good as the profit from reselling a rare and limited sports car...
For a car that sells for $10,000, an increase of $1,200 is extremely exaggerated. But for a car worth a million dollars, an increase of $12,000 is not excessive at all.
"It's up to me. I won't invest too much money in the car dealership, and I won't invest more than 1 million. You just mentioned Argra RS1. Koenigsegg also has depreciated models. High investment also brings high risks. I don't care about these losses. I think
